About Joe's Deli

The number one spot for a proper sandwich, classic deli goods, the finest cold cuts and the best service in town, Joe's Deli on Albert Street in Fortitude Valley is the cool old boy with all the family recipes. Old-fashioned with modern sensibilities, a rustic façade of well-worn brick greets guests at this Brisbane diner, where the world’s best sangas with that South Pacific flair await; think Sicilian chicken with mayo, wholegrain mustard, pickled cucumber, red onion, roast peppers and iceberg lettuce. Perhaps wrap your mouth around a Brooklyn hot dog with cheese Kransky sausage, sauerkraut, spicy tomato ketchup, garlic aioli, hot seeded mustard, onion and cucumber pickle; finishing decadently with Hollywood two-tone cheesecake with liquid Nutella and brûlée marshmallow.

A few words from Joe's Deli

On the hunt for the best smash burger in Queensland? Joe's Deli has you sorted. The OG sandwich slingers are flipping the script with their new Manhattan Smash Beef Burger, a New York-style heavyweight landing across all three locations from Friday, 24th April 2026. Priced at $21.90 and only here for six weeks, this limited drop is built for those chasing big flavour, zero fuss, and serious street cred.

Think crispy-edged smashed beef, molten American cheese, and that perfect hit of tang—brown onion, crinkle-cut pickles, American mustard, spicy ketchup, and 1000 island dressing all stacked into a soft sesame seed bun. It's giving classic diner energy meets late-night NYC bite, dialled up the Joe's Deli way. Messy, punchy, and absolutely worth it.

Still hungry? Go full main character and double up with an extra patty for just $5 more. Built on quality ingredients and no shortcuts, the Manhattan Smash is a limited-time flex that won't stick around for long. Consider this your sign to lock it in and see what the hype's about.
