Sam's Delicatessen

Have passed by Sam's a few times and finally stopped in for lunch. They are takeout/pickup only. Steady traffic and calls around 12 on a Thursday.A small spot with enough room for an ordering area, deli/salad case and a couple of beverage coolers.We wanted to try some of the sandwiches so their sub specials (Large Sub and 2 small subs) were perfect. Ordered a Large (huge and enough for two) Cheesesteak-stuffed with shaved steak and tasty-would recommend extra cheese to balance out. A small Hot Corned Beef with added Swiss cheese. We liked it -again stuffed with tasty/salty Corned Beef. Small Italian Cold Cut Sub included Mortadella and was very good. For sides, the fries were good but we enjoyed the potato salad the most.Super friendly service at the counter as well upbeat vibe in the kitchen. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads and soups. A hidden gem and local favorite that lives up to the hype!

Customer service - 5 out of 5Wait time - 5 out of 5Cleanliness - 5 out of 5Atmosphere - 3 out of 5Food quality - 5 out of 5It's been a remarkable 6 years since my last review of this exceptional restaurant. If I were fortunate enough to reside in the vicinity, I wouldn't be taken aback by becoming a frequent patron, perhaps visiting 2-3 times a week. That's how extraordinary the culinary delights are at this establishment. On this recent visit, I once again indulged in the pleasure of savoring their delectable large cheesesteak, and I must confess, it has surpassed my already lofty expectations. The sheer abundance of succulent meat, expertly paired with an array of fresh ingredients of your choosing, continues to astound me. And let's not forget about the bread, which is truly a work of art. It maintains its structural integrity, never succumbing to the weight of the generous fillings nestled within. The impeccable customer service remains a constant source of delight, even though I did notice some new faces among the staff since my last visit. However, given the passage of several years, this is hardly surprising. Despite the modest size of the deli's interior, it fulfills its purpose admirably, providing ample space for customers to place their orders with the cashier and eagerly await the arrival of one of the most extraordinary subs to grace Harford County. As for the price, my go-to choice, the large cheesesteak, comes at a reasonable cost of $14.79, tax included. Being a person of substantial appetite, I have no trouble devouring it in a single sitting. However, it's worth noting that the large sub is more than capable of satisfying the hunger of two individuals, and even accommodating a third if one happens to have a smaller appetite. So, whether you find yourself in the Edgewood area or merely passing through, I implore you to seize the opportunity to partake in the culinary delights offered by this remarkable restaurant. You won't be disappointed!With a nice score of 23 out of 25 stars, I give this establishment an A. Verdict: highly recommend!I'll return soon, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Hey, decent cheesesteak right here in Harford County. If you're from the greater Baltimore area, you'll appreciate the massive amount if meat packed into this steak. It checks all of the cheesesteak boxes. If you're a Philly cheesesteak aficionado, then this is more of a cheesesteak hoagie which means a messy, heavy sandwich packed with tons of chopped steak (not the best quality but...) your choice of cheese (no whiz) and any toppings you want. The "small" is about a foot long and probably weighs 5 lbs, fyi!

Different cheesesteak #1116 in the last five years. I got a cheesesteak and since I was in Maryland I got a Crab cake hoagie. The cheesesteak was good for Maryland. The roll was mediocre and the meat was a little dry. The crab cake hoagie was amazing. It was over $20 and I still liked it. You know it had to be good. I talked to a guy from Baltimore. He drove 45 minutes every 2 weeks to get a cheesesteak. I realize now it was a missed opportunity to ask him how their Crab Cake compared to other MD places. Dear Sam's Deli, please consider making a surf and turf cheesesteak. Steak, crab cake and cheese in a roll. The surf and turf may be a touch dry. Please consider collaborating with Eastern Shore Brewing to make a cocktail sauce, beer cheese. A little tang and a little runny.

Great chicken salad! I also think they have the best fries. I wish they delivered to my house; I would frequent them a lot more!

Sam's is a great local sub shop and I'll keep the 5 stars because the neighborhood needs places like Sam's. Especially with a new wawa next door taking business I'm sure.Italian sub - the quality of the meat and cheese is great. I just wish there was a little more of them. I get it -- costs and all that. But it is the only bad remark. I called in my order easy. 15 min estimate was given and I picked it up ready in 12 min. Service was great.Keep getting your subs here if you care about the quality of the meats.

Over hyped. Another place that reduced their quality after being known for it. The price changed from the time I ordered over the phone till the time I picked it up by .75 cents. Not much but shiesty business practice. Cheesesteak had way too much salt and the texture of the meat was weird. Cold cut meat slices were way too thick and didn't taste like anything. The bread was stale in the middle some how. Not very clean inside. Another place with lazy workers as well.

Stopped in a couple weeks ago after passing by several times over the past year. Finally decided to give it a try. When I stepped out of the car, the first thing I noticed was the scent of grilled onions in the air. I figured that could be a good sign of things to come. I was hoping there would be some seats inside, but it's a small setup, so I saw only a couple drink coolers and chips, and the view beyond that was blocked by some other patrons waiting for their food. The staff was friendly and ordering was easy (limited menu). Whenever I try a new sandwich place, Chicken Parmesan is my usual go-to as my litmus test...and I was happy to see they had it in both fried and grilled options. I got the grilled with some lettuce and onions, 8" sub for about $11 I believe. It was a bit chilly out, so I chose to eat in the car (parked, of course). Gotta tell ya, it was a bit messy but it was also tasty and filling. I'm glad I only got the "half" size. I also realized the onion smell was no longer limited to the vents they were pumping out. I didn't want to risk the car smelling like them for the next couple days, so I didn't keep the trash in the car. Too late. The smell lingered for a week (and also in my hair until I showered that night. I'm pretty sure when I returned from my lunch break, I probably smelled like a sweaty gym locker!)Overall, it's worth a visit, but next time, I'll need to skip the onions and order ahead to limit my time inside.

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

What can I say! For the money! Best Subs around!I always get a whole Sub. Half makes me want more! Pepper CheeseSteak is my current goto...The Best Jerry! The Best! Gotta do the Black Bottoms also!
