The Most Delectable Delis in Baltimore

Parkway Deli & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (938) • $$

"I had lunch at Parkway Deli yesterday, and as always, it was a fantastic experience! I've eaten here many times, but this is my first time posting a review. I ordered the Pastrami Delight sandwich, and it truly lived up to its name. The pastrami was bursting with flavor, with just the right amount of crispy charred bits. The cheese was perfectly melted, and the coleslaw added the perfect crunch to every bite. I'd add a pic, but I was so hungry I didn't stop to take one!I paired it with goodies from the famous pickle bar--dill pickles, sauerkraut, and banana peppers--which made the meal even better. My server was friendly and attentive, and my food arrived quickly, which I really appreciated. On my way out, I couldn't resist picking up a tub of whitefish and a tub of chopped liver to snack on later--both were absolutely delicious.If you're ever in Silver Spring or nearby, Parkway Deli is a must-visit. The food, service, and atmosphere are consistently top-notch. You won't be disappointed!"

Di Pasquale's Marketplace

★★★★★ 4.6 (563) • $$

"HEY !! BE CAREFUL! TAKE A DEEP BREATH! YOU'RE IN A 110 YEARS OLD BUSINESS!!!! In 1914, an 18 year old Luigi Di Pasquale Sr. opened a corner grocer in Highlandtown Baltimore MD, and you know what? I was lucky enough to go to that location! On May 1st, 2021 , they moved to Brewers Hill to write a new chapter of history, and finally, last week, I was able to go and visit! Wow! Now the history, the 110 years of experience, and with a great design, Di Pasquale is an Italian heaven that helps all the DMV & Baltimore people to live their Italian dream! Unless you're inside the store now while reading my review, nothing will make sense to you! Joe DiPasquale, the owner, was waiting outside the door, watching and warning everyone to pay the parking meter if they were staying and warning everyone if the towing truck was coming! Lol, that really showed me care! This guy is genuine!! He could've let any worker do that for him! But he was greeting everyone and with love taking care of us and making sure no one got ticketed or got their vehicle towed away! There are 2 styles to dine in here! To actually be seated like in a restaurant, a waitress will help you, and you eat your food in porcelain plates and metal silverware, and you can get alcohol or you take your food to go and there are 3 tables inside and a few outdoor ( the outdoor tables are like a picnic style table bench) . The MENU IS HUGE! the deli style refrigerator display has endless choices of food you can get! They know it's a lot, and that's why they have the choose 3 combo ( ask about it when you get there and look at my choices in the photos ) I also ordered 2 hot subs , the iconic Lamborghini, and the real deal veal ! I got a Tiramisu and 3 mini cannolis ! Pistachio, mocha, and traditional! Thank God I had my cousin with me to share. Otherwise, I would've been to a food coma ! But you know what?? I didn't feel tired after eating their food! Clean ingredients ;)Every single item was good!! Everything was tasty! Yummy! There are a lot of items to go back and try! Things I have no idea about, and it might take me years to explore, lol. After I was done , I shopped at the market and bought an Italian type of cookie bag that I suspected it looks like something my grandma ( we're Coptic Egyptians) used to make from milk cream and this one was made from milk cream too! And the same shape!! I got excited and got two bags! Oh my goodness! It's the same!! ( A lot of the Coptic "native Egyptian " food is shared between Greeks and Italians) Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ... Pray for me ;)"

"Best bagel sandwich I've had since Philly. As good as Einstein's. Service was quick and efficientWhat ambience? It's a bagel shop and a good one!"

Attman's Delicatessen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (436) • $$

"I love Attman's deli! It has a nostalgic vibe that captures the essence of a true New York deli experience. This place is all about no-frills, no-gimmicks, just good old-school deli sandwiches and more.The ambiance, décor, and interior design gives off a charming feel, which adds to its overall appeal of this classic deli. The deli offers a wide variety of signature sandwiches and breakfast options, with the added flexibility of customizing your sandwich. In addition to the main menu, they have a great selection of appetizers, soups, salads, hot dogs, chips, and baked goods. I opted for the Chelsea Club on rye, and it was delicious. It was a lot larger than I expected but had great flavor and was perfectly dressed. The turkey was fresh, and the bacon had the right amount of crispiness. I truly enjoyed this sandwich. The deli can get quite busy, and placing an order may seem a bit chaotic and disorganized at times. Despite the hustle and bustle, the deli staff are attentive and actively check on customers to ensure they are being helped.While the ordering process can be a bit hectic, the quality of the food and the nostalgic charm make it worth the visit. It is a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic deli experience."

Trinacria - Baltimore

★★★★★ 4.5 (304) • $$

"Since I had to go a while 10 months without deli meat, I've decided I'm going to make up for it now. Yep, that's what I'm doing. Trinacria has been on my list to try foreva, I just haven't been able to get out to it since I'm no longer stationed primarily in Bmore. Anywho, like the others have said, it isn't in the greatest of areas; although it appears as though that will be changing soon. It is a small store, like grocery store that also sells food, think salads, desserts, coffee, and prepared items. They have a pretty nice sized menu of options for sammie's and they are at a great price point. I got the small Italian cold cut, everything was crazy fresh from the bread to the meats. I got a large for the him and he enjoyed his sammie as well. Loved it!"

MGM Roast Beef

★★★★☆ 4.2 (315) • $$

"My coworkers have been talking about this place .so I had a half of day and on my way home I stopped by and ordered the open face Thanksgiving dinner and the open face brisket dinner..and OMG they were both delicious. I think the open face Thanksgiving beat the brisket. But the brisket came in a close 2nd ..a very close 2nd.."

Giolitti Delicatessen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (249) • $$

"Dinner for under $20! I ordered a bowl of lemon chicken orzo soup, a half Milano sandwich, and a drink (brewed iced tea with fresh lemon). The soup was hearty, flavorful, and the fresh carrots and celery showed that it was made in-house. The Milano sandwich was a work of art! The high-quality ingredients included bread, mozzarella, olives, prosciutto, and olive oil."

Attman's Delicatessen

★★★★☆ 3.5 (342) • $$

"I always stop at Attman's for a nosh when I'm nearby. I've never had a sandwich, bagel or anything that wasn't delicious. I love their deli style tuna fish (dry, no frills) and their corn beef sandwiches are divine! And the Reubens with the fresh rye bread? They're darn good! The salad platters are huge & look really fresh. That's next for me! With a bagel on the side of course.Service is great here. No requests seem to be too much."

Tijuana Tacos 3

★★★★☆ 4.2 (203) • $

"If I could, I'll give 10So happy I found a place to eat AUTHENTIC mexican food, I will definitely take the drive here to eat.If you really want to try authentic quesadillas, tacos the way it supposed to taste, spicy salsa if you are into to give an extra kick to your meal.I'm beyond excited to to show you why this place took 5 star reviews:Al pastor tacos: comes with 2 tortillas, chopped onion and cilantro Tacos: chopped onion and cilantro, lime, nopal, spring onion, radish and cucumber Quesadillas: completely freshly made, corn long tortilla and the best thing is that in 7 years I've been living in MD is the first time I found huitlacoche which Mexican caviar Home made chips, even though they were colder than most places, the fact this ones are made here took an extra star.The fresh flavored water did not disappoints either, I had horchata and I'm crazy picky about this, I can tell when is from the bottle and when is made at the place. No, they don't serve veganNo, it's not a hipster place No, it's not TexMex No, don't come looking for a fancy spot No, don't ask for wifi No, is not that big."

Scittino's Italian Market Place

★★★★☆ 3.8 (243) • $$

"I'm a regular patron, big fan of the old country artisanal sandwiches, like a charcuterie board on an italian roll. Pizza and other sandwiches are equally worth trying, great ingredients and good sized. Has a small deli and italian groceries.Mostly take-out, a couple of small tables but not a dine-in kind of place. Call ahead, wait time is usually 20-25 min. Prices are average for the area, better if you consider the quality."

Bonheur Patisserie and Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (182) • $

"**Looks, left & right... scratches neck like an addict** Hey! Got any more of those perfectly baked buttery croissants?! Ya'll Yaaaaaaaaaaaa'llll... hear me when I say: This is it. These croissants will have you wake up in the middle of the night and contemplate a B&E. Yes, a bacon & egg but I was referring to breaking & entering. The baker does NOT over bake. The crust is medium, yes still flaky and the inside..... Dear Lord in heaven... the inside is so chewy. I don't know the reason for life but these croissants will make your living so much greater. Ok now that that's out of the way. Staff is always super friendly, eye contact... I feel like I'm in New Jersey. I would say New York but no one is yelling orders. Food is fresh and high quality. I get the croissant chicken salad sandwich with soup of the day. It hits the spot every time. I will often treat myself to a danish. Yes, they are $5... highway robbery, right?! But Listen, listen, listen Linda.... It makes sense once you eat it. The $5 makes sense. Just shuddup and pay. Today I went in craving chocolate but not wanting dark chocolate. The owner listened to my high pitched PMS cries for chocolate and presented me with the tuxedo cake. BABY! Baby... hear me when I say. That cake made up for every mistake I made in life. That cake told me I was beautiful and that I look pretty in dresses. That cake gave me a hug and told me I did my best. That cake said, I'll play with you, you don't need friends like that anyway! I don't agree with eating your feelings but that cake is like ocean sunshine on a suburban sunshine day. I might tell you a joke, but I'll never tell you a lie... hear when I say... this place is the bees knees. So why aren't you in en route yet? Get in your car. No, really.. get in. Go now!"

Mastellone's Deli & Wine Shop

★★★★★ 4.7 (139) • $$

"Located in Parkville, Mastellone's is a charming old world deli. They are part of Di Pasquale's-their products were on the shelves and in the freezers & menu items are similar.Got here around 1:30 for a late lunch. We ordered the Old World Italian (my favorite!) & the Mozarella Caprese. Both sandwiches were excellent & similar to the ones at Di Pasquale's-with generous fillings and fresh sub rolls. Tried the Tuna Diavolo & it was ok. I would add the olive spread if I order the Tuna again. They do have their olive spread for sale.Also, ordered the Porketta. Their version was different from Di Pasquales with thin slices of pork. It was okay but wouldn't order this one again (Been spoiled by the thicker slow roasted pork with provolone & Rapini version at Di Pasquale's). Although smaller, similar to Di Pasquale's, an abundant amount of Italian specialties and good selection of wine and beer.Friendly servers at the counter and at checkout. Now our deli stop when in Parkville!"

Woodside Deli

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (254) • $$

"Wonderful local deli with delicious food and excellent service/hospitality! Can recommend the pastrami sandwich and Matzah Ball soup"

Booeymonger

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (258) • $

"Having driven past this place many times, I decided to stop in and give it a shot. I was pleasantly suprised! The prices are great and the portions are big! We tried the Booey's Platter, 3 pancakes, and a side of bacon. Everything tasted amazing! Eating in was pleasant, but know that the atmosphere inside is more fast food-ish than eating breakfast somewhere like IHOP. This will definitely be my new breakfast spot from now on. I also intend to give their sandwiches a shot soon."

Anegada Delights

★★★★☆ 4.4 (136)

"The food here is definitely on point!!I originally came here just to pick up a gifted belated bday cake from my cousin, who uses this location as pickup point for her bakery. But I soon realized that this location was a Caribbean restaurant (incidentally, my cousin did not tell me; she just sent me the address), and it was "on" from there!!!This is a family owned and operated restaurant with a husband and wife duo-I believe one is from Trinidad and the other is from the British Virgin Islands (hence the name Anegada).And the food is great!! and everything tasted well seasoned and authentic. I tried almost everything..curry chicken, curry goat, stew oxtails, beef patties, mac and cheese, rice and peas, roti skins (dhal puri). My favorite was the curry goat, but everything was delicious "!They also offer a variety smoothies and drinks, and you know I had to try to the soursop smoothie- it was fantastic!!The service was friendly and personable, the restaurant is clean and open (but a space similar to moderate sized cafe), and there's plenty of free parking since the restaurant seems to be located on the 1st floor of a large office building. I bet they're very busy during lunch hours.Just a heads up, as far as I know- there's open seating, in person ordering is through the kiosk only, they do offer delivery via doordash, and don't be in too much of a hurry, as some items are made to order.Highly recommend!!!"

Luigi's Italian Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (154) • $$

"Made it out to Hampden to try Luigi's but missed them the 1st time as they actually closed at 3 pm. As of this writing, they are open 11 am-3pm daily (or "sell out"). Only takeout/delivery available for now. I'm sure it was a charming spot when they had dine-in but for now it's a pickup window.They had an ample selection of hot/cold sandwiches & had a hard time deciding as all looked good. We settled on the The Scooch (most popular (according to their website), Leonardo & La Porchetta.Perfect balance of roll to meat/veggies on all 3. The surprise star was the Leonardo. The thicker cut marinated roasted eggplant stood out with the squash, mozzarella, pesto & balsamic balancing it out. One of the best Italian veggie sandwiches I've had! The Scooch (roasted peppers and hots took it over the top!) and Porchetta also didn't disappoint.We also tried the Pepperoni roll which was ok-stuffed with an abundant amount of pepperoni with tomato sauce.Overall, this is the Spot in Hampden for some proper Italian sandwiches. We will be back!"

Woodmont Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (133) • $

"Love their food, and love their service. Especially the adorable hearts drawn on the food! Very yummy sandwiches and omelets! And their sweet potato fries are"

Mike and Barry's Deli

★★★★★ 4.6 (115) • $

"Love this place! Staff are kind and welcoming. I come here every once in a while for the past few years and I'm never disappointed. Lox cream cheese on bagels, meatball sandwiches, veggie sandwich, and turkey bacon egg and cheese with sautéed onions is my good too. Always so good. The spot is more so get your food and go but there is spot to sit and it looks clean. I always eat my sandwiches immediately so I never have a chance to take a picture."

Uber Bagels & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.9 (158) • $

"Tried this place for the first time last week. I took my 3 year old and we both loved it! He had a plane bagel with sausage and cheese. The bagel was so soft and fresh and we stopped at lunch time. I had the chipotle maple and it was stacked and yum. The bacon was real and crispy! Visited again this week and tried The Thanksgiving and The Jameson, both amazing! This place is very clean and the staff are very friendly!"

Di Pasquale's Harborview

★★★★★ 4.5 (106) • $$

"Great deli/grocer with great sandwiches! If there's friends or family visiting and the weather is nice...take them on a walk around the harbor and go to this location for a casual bite. No seating inside so will have to take to go or sit outside. There's a patio seating around the marina docs with tables and umbrellas. Service is great too. Call ahead and get your sandwiches to go. Plenty of drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) that you can take to go. Standout sandwiches: meatball sub, Italian cold cut, cubanella, PLT (a great twist on a BLT). Sandwich sizes are fairly large so can even be shared.Lots and lots of Italian groceries as well. Snacks. Wine and beer. Premade dishes. Also plenty of sides like octopus salad, tortellini, and some Italian deserts."

Belvedere Bagels and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (109) • $

"My bf & I stopped here to grab breakfast during that weird part of the year between Christmas & New Year's where a lot of the cafes in the Mt Vernon area seemed to take an extended holiday break. Thank God Belvedere Bagels & Grill was open, because we were starving. We soon learned how awesome this place is.We thought this was going to be a sit down diner-type place. Instead, it's a grab and go joint, with a lot of people coming and going. The guys who work there are very friendly. The prices are great. Most importantly, the food was delicious. Their BLT made me rekindle my love for this simple, but amazing sammy."

Savona

★★★★☆ 4.4 (96) • $

"A smaller and charming Italian deli/restaurant with a wine shop and small grocery section with mostly Italian fare.You have in and outdoor seating & I saw a lunch/daily special sign. I decided to go with the Liguria. A good mix of Prosciutto, Capi, provolone and veggies. The Pesto Mayo balanced it out nicely.Service was friendly and courteous. Will be back to try some of the other sandwiches, salads & the Charcuterie board. Great to have this spot in downtown Bel Air."

Harbor East Delicatessen And Pizzeria

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (170) • $$

"This establishment is in a great location - it was conveniently next door to my hotel, which made it perfect for a short stumble late at night when I needed to satisfy my drunk munchies. Of course I over ordered, but I don't remember there being different sizes of pizza offered. I just remember that the pizza was huge, well-topped, and damn delicious. I couldn't finish it. In fact, I couldn't even eat half - it was that big. Even with the voracious appetite induced by an under catered dinner and the ingestion of copious amounts of booze, I couldn't cut the mustard. Highly recommended for late night cravings."

Urban Deli

★★★★☆ 3.9 (117) • $$

"Urban Deli: Overall - 8.5/10 Most things on the menu are good. Solid lunch place. Fairly cheap with a decent selection. More of a quick bite spot than a sit-down, just a heads up. I eat here for lunch at least once every other week and it does the job. The Food - 8.5/10: It's all pretty good. Some of the stuff is fresh, some of the stuff isn't but that's okay. This is more of a lunch or grab-and-go place so my standard for what I expect falls within that range for comparable places. I would say the food is above average for the shop style, quick bites, place this is. That is why I come back so much. Solid portions, Great wraps/bread options, and fresh veggies. I would really recommend any of the wraps or sandwiches they're all amazing. The Vibes- 6/10: Cute. You could drive or walk right by it. I don't think I have ever seen anyone actually eat in there, but there is room to sit. Most time's there is a line for pick up but they are quick.The Service-10/10: Everyone who works here is super nice. Never had any issues. Sometime's if it's busy they can- naturally- be held up a bit BUT they will always get to you. Even if I am standing around someone always asks if someone helped me. The Drinks- N/A: Never had any drinks from here."

Lenny's Delicatessen

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (185) • $$

"Lenny's is a much have for the locals! This should also be a must have for those visiting outside of the area. I went here specifically for a rainbow cake. It's my husbands favorite and they always have it ready to go. Service is quick and easy. You walk to the register and tell them what you want. From there you go to the register to pay. It's set up like cafeteria style."

Little Georgia

★★★★☆ 4.3 (95) • $$

"First time coming and really enjoyed it! We got the Adjaruli (bread filled with cheese and topped with an egg yolk you mix in) , khinkali (dumplings. We did potato next time we want to try the meat one), sacivi (chicken cooked in walnut sauce), and honey cake. Delicious. The initial service was a little slow but once we put our order in the food came out pretty quickly. The restaurant itself was nice and clean."

Über Bagels & Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (107) • $

"Uber Bagels offers a friendly atmosphere with clean surroundings and welcoming staff. I tried the rosemary salt bagel with bacon, egg, and Swiss cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors blended perfectly, and the quality of the ingredients stood out. Definitely a place to visit if you're craving a flavorful and satisfying bagel!"

Old Town Market

★★★★☆ 3.6 (126) • $

"The staff is always so nice and helpful. The sandwiches are delicious and prepared quickly."

Charcoal Deli

★★★★☆ 3.6 (122) • $

"Been here several times. Consistently good food. Reasonable prices. Pit beef good, fries are very good and chicken tenders are absolutely the best esp with Honey Mustard Sauce they offer as a side."

Sam's Delicatessen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (89) • $$

"What a great mom and pop shop! Everything here is for takeout, you cannot dine it. I was a little bit surprised at the price of the food.... But for the portions and the flavor, it is well worth it. I happened to stop here on my way from DC to North Maryland. My dad had been coming here for YEARS and swore by this place. I stopped in to see what the hype was about and he was not wrong! Big subs with huge flavor. I had some tuna fish, and a crab cake sandwich. Lots of tuna, lots of crab. I truly wished I had a bigger stomach to eat more. If you are in the area. Check them out"

Roy's Kwik Korner

★★★★☆ 3.8 (102) • $$

"I finally made it to Roy's after a couple attempts to go on the weekend. Their hours on Yelp were previously not updated so when I went there the 1st go round, I was saddened doors were closed Saturday afternoon. Few months later, I saw it was updated so I went back during a weekday to finally try their famous Baseball Crab Cake. I ordered a side of fries and while waiting, I chatted with who I believe was the owner and he gave me a complimentary sample of their cream of crab and boy was it delicious!Now onto their signature dish.. the crab cake was indeed the size of a baseball but it was more of the shredded crab meat then whole lump crab meat that was actually in the cream of crab. I was expecting more lump crab but it was still pretty good. The fries were like an upgrades version of checkers fries which has that coating on it. They are thrown into a brown bag to catch all the grease because they were piping hot. I will opt out of the fries next time and try another crab dish or their shrimp cheesesteak which I saw on the special menu after I left. Will check them out again but have to make sure it's a weekday before 7pm."

Deli-ish

★★★★☆ 3.9 (95) • $

"My wife and I stopped in and had an absolutely delicious lunch. The New Yorker was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp salad too. Staff were extremely friendly and the restaurant was clean. Highly recommend."

Johns Italian Deli

★★★★☆ 3.8 (97) • $

"Great Italian cold cut with the best onions, you often have to pay more for a business has to live with price increases by their suppliers . You will be glad you made the trip. Good for at least two meals."

Generous Joe's Deli

★★★★☆ 3.6 (107) • $

"The Only Review You Need To ReadMaybe my tagline isn't accurate this one time, but I'm going to keep it in place for the sake of consistency.I was referred to this restaurant by a friend because I told him how disappointed I've been with cheeseburger subs lately. Based on his recommendation, I headed on down to Greenbelt to try this place out for myself.I called in my order ahead of time so I would just have to hop out of the car, run in, pay the tab, then get back on the road. What I didn't count on was there being some sort of pop-up fair going on at the park adjacent to the little strip plaza where the restaurant is location in, and as a result, there being tons of cars trying to get into the tiny plaza and there being no places to park. I finally got lucky and found a spot (we'll discuss if I parked illegally off-line), went running back to the restaurant, got my order, then headed back home.Being as this turned into an hour long round trip odyssey, it didn't escape me that it probably would have been better to have eaten my food there when it was fresh and hot, as opposed to having to throw it in the microwave when I got home. But I was going to be fair in my assessment - even if I have to reheat my food, I can still tell whether I like it or not. And the verdict was I thought it was a solid okay. What I accepted was that I wasn't going to find a cheeseburger sub as amazing as the ones I used to get at this place called The Red Caboose (which closed down in the early 90s). But this sub was better than the one I got from a different place a few days ago. The bread was really good; very soft and delicious, but the meat patty, though a generous amount, was just average tasting. The fries were good (I love steak fries!); they probably would have been better if I had eaten them when they were fresh, but that was on me.I'd be willing to give them another try, and possibly eat my order there next time since they do have a little seating area. If so and the food is better when it's served hot & fresh, I'll definitely edit my review."

Goldies Seafood Carryout

★★★★☆ 3.8 (88)

"Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic! This place has been on my radar for several weeks now and I finally ventured over to see what the hype is about !!This business is located within a short strip of businesses providing plentiful parking in the back parking lot and on close side street. Upon entering I was greeted by a vibrant young lady who immediately took my order. She was very knowledgeable about menu options and able to answer all questions regarding food items, etc.I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla, Grilled Chicken and Shrimp Tato and a Fresh Lemonade!!Delicious is an understatement!Oh Em Gee!! The Grilled Chicken and Shrimp Tato was mine oh mine and packed w flavor. It was so plentiful and took me 3 sittings to finish. I would most definitely order again!!The Chicken Quesadilla was the best ever tasted! It was for hubby but I had to sneak a piece! It smelled tastefully delicious and was a hit! The tortilla was grilled perfectly and all the ingredients fell in line perfectly. The Lemonade... oh the Lemonade!! We devoured it! Perfect to me! Fresh taste, not overly sweet and perfect sized. Goldies Seafood is very COVID19 conscience. Social distancing highly enforced along w face mask mandates. Before departure I was able to converse w Owner (Randolph) for a sec and he's a true businessesman w vision, leadership and the tools necessary to continue this successful establishment as well as continue to build. Since leaving I've recommended Goldies Seafood to several friends and family members! I definitely recommend this establishment to anyone in the mood for a fantastic meal, great customer service and plentiful leftovers !!"
