The Most Scrumptious Delis in Charlotte

Long Island Bagels

★★★★☆ 3.7 (46) • $

"So so good. While they could use some updating to the lobby area, the food and service was wonderful. We ordered bacon egg cheese bagel and a sausage egg cheese bagel. I also got a French toast cinnamon for my very picky boys. They loved it. I got a cinnamon raisin with butter. Omg. So wonderful and filling. Loved it. Our service was lovely. I wish I had ordered bagels to take back to OHIO."

Tutti's Italian Market and Deli

★★★★★ 4.9 (29)

"Concord is seriously blessed to have a shop like this so close to downtown Concord. They recently opened, so the hours of operation are still getting worked out, but currently open Wednesday-Friday 10-3(again, they are new so these times probably will be adjusted). There are not very many options for sandwiches but you cannot go wrong with any of them. My favorite right now is called "The Godfather". YUM! They serve Boars Head meat, which is the cherry on top for me. The bread is AMAZING! The combo of meats and bread are just a symphony of flavors you don't want to miss out on! If you live around downtown concord, definitely stop by and give it a try. They also sell homemade pans of lasagna, stuffed shells, meat balls, chicken parmigiana in their cold fridges for you to take and heat up at home!"

Rusty's Deli & Grille

★★★★☆ 4.1 (204) • $

"As always Rusty's Deli never fails to satisfy! Food / Service / Staff are excellent as always! I've been coming to Rusty's since 1989 and today my youngest daughter got to come as well and absolutely loved her chicken salad. Thank you!!"

Reid's Fine Foods

★★★★☆ 3.6 (48)

"First, the people were sweet at Levine. Very nice. The stars are for them. The food on the other hand was terrible. TERRIBLE as in no stars. Stopped by for a sandwich at the end of the day (maybe that is the reason for poor quality), ordering a Club Sub, no cheese. I had high hopes, but they were soon dashed. The turkey was gray and the ham was dried out. I've eaten a lot of turkey (including some a few hours ago from a neighboring Sandwich Club), but I've never seen they let this shade of gray. Both had that sour smell of cold cuts that sat outside for too long. I tossed all of the meat rather than risk eating it. The bacon and tomato jam were mysteriously missing. How do you have a club without bacon? They did include a few tomato slices. The herb mayo tasted an awful lot like Miracle Whip to me. I asked if could replace the cheddar and Swiss (I hate Swiss) with mozzarella. The mozzarella wasn't bad, but they added Swiss too (it joined its meat cousins in the trash.)Thankfully I grabbed a bag of chips and a $4 cookie to tide me over for the night. So $21 for a cookie, bag of chips, two slices of bread that were falling apart, two slices of tomato, a chunk of mozzarella and some Miracle Whip. Never again."

Oakhill Deli & Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (8)

"I can't even begin to articulate how GREAT this place is. The food is amazing and very reasonably priced.I highly recommend going for breakfast. The biscuits are out of this world. And don't even get me started on the country ham. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.Oakhill is also a small family run business and a places where everyone knows each other. Get there early though, they close the grill at 2 pm."

Sprouts Farmers Market - Charlotte

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Holy smokes! Nice to have the equivalent of a little Whole Foods in my neighborhood! I'm non-dairy and they have all of my favorite oat based products. Chobani oat milk and yogurt. And the usual fresh fruits and vegetables. Their own line of natural meats looks amazing. I had to try a little bit of everything! The store is insanely clean! Self-checkout is all the way down towards the exit. If you go to the cashiers remember everyone who works here is brand new so pretend not to hate humanity for a minute and a half. You can do it!Highly recommend to bring your own bags. If you forget and need a shopping bag, it's a small extra charge (like in Europe). But they are reusable and sturdy!"

Main Street Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (36)

"The sandwiches were served quickly and were wonderful tasting. We bought the "boot" (Ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, black olives, banana peppers, oil & vinegar, and Italian mayo) and the salty moo (Corned beef, Sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island). As out of owners we loved the sweet iced tea! Highly recommended"

Common Market SouthEnd

★★★★☆ 4.4 (109) • $

"I've been to the Common Market Oakwold on Monroe many times and decided to try this place since I was in the area. Similar vibe, maybe a little calmer on a Thursday lunch time. People here are friendly and the food is just as delicious as it is on the other location. If you're in the area, give this place a"

Staceys Deli & Catering

★★★★★ 4.8 (72)

"Mean sandwich, so tasty and worth the drive. I had a hot pastrami sandwich and it was so freshening to have a really classic proper pastrami on marble rye. I felt like I was in a real Jewish NYC Deli there for a second. Atmosphere is about average. Food (Black Angus Pastrami on Marble Rye) is excellent. Service was excellent."

Lil Papi’s International Deli

★★★★★ 4.8 (168) • $

"I have ordered from here a number of times. It's a really good choice if you want a hearty meat, heavy sandwich! We usually door dash it, so I can't speak to the ambiance of the place. My usual order is a chicken Philly cheesesteak and it always a fresh tasting, well seasoned and hearty sandwich . Though I wouldn't hate a pickle included with my sandwich :-)Their salad could stand some improvements. But they provide nice portions. They also have a simple dessert menu, but everything on the menu is good. So in my opinion you get your money's worth. Oh and they rarely get any orders wrong.I do recommend!"

The Counter

★★★★★ 4.6 (61) • $$

"This place popped up on my Yelp feed. I don't think I had ever gone to a Yelp Feed place before. But I was excited because there are bagels! Aside from here, there are only two good bagel places in the area. One is far and the other doesn't have the friendliest customer service. So I was happy to find The Counter. While at the counter at The Counter, they asked my name. I literally didn't know what to say: Dan or Tyler (pen name). At this point, 95% of people call my Tyler. It has unintentionally taken over my life. Somehow, this led to a mini life conversation at the counter at The Counter. Both employees were super chill and friendly. And we agreed on some life philosophies. For the food, the bagel was super buttery, which was great. I don't know why I love butter so much but I own it. Respect to the anti-herd butter crowd. The Turkey Sandwich on a Kaiser Roll (reminds me of sitting at a table by a pool in Florida) was very good, and the seasoned chips are made in-house. Most people would choose the sandwich and chips, and that makes sense. But I will go with the bagel on future visits--gotta get that butter! Definitely recommended."

The Villager Deli

★★★★☆ 3.8 (72) • $

"Love the Villager deli... it's where the locals eat and our favorite! We have been bringing Ellie our beloved Sheltie since she was a puppy!!"

North 29 Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (38) • $

"Food was good. The fries were just okay, not very fresh, and the hush puppies were average. The patty melt was delicious. The service was excellent, however, the menu had much to choose from, and I really appreciated the fact that they were playing Christian music."

Noda Bodega

★★★★★ 4.6 (245) • $

"I've had this bookmarked a while and let me tell you it should be moved to the top of your list!!! This is the best avacado toast with egg I've ever had!! Fluffy avacado and - I dont do spicy so it's just a hint of spice and picked onion! Wow!! Incredible. The sandwich as well- top of the top! Do it!"

Hudson Brothers Deli

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (9)

"Hudson Brothers is an institution in Rockingham. Great food and great service. Been serving Rockingham many years. Many musical acts perform there so it is just a fun place to go eat and hang out."

Tattooed Brews

★★★★☆ 4.3 (31)

"I came in kind of late as was the only thing left open. Had the feel of a dive bar but cleanliness and aire didn't match. The food was awesome had the Jashid wrap and it was fairly busy for late in a Monday.Bartender was timely and took good care when there was a miscommunication on the side order."

Chubby's of Hildebran

★★★★☆ 3.9 (26) • $

"My first time ordering from here I got me a meatball sub and a small pizza cheap and great and the staff of cute I'll be coming more often for the good service and the eye candy!!!"

NoDa Market & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (33)

"Hands down best Philly cheese steak I've ever had. The flavors are everything. The bread, the meat, the cheese, the veggies. 10/10. This sandwich might be my death row meal if given the option. Do yourself a favor and order this sandwich. Don't have a pic because I ate it too fast"

Ferrucci's Old Tyme Italian Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (119) • $$

"Our sandwiches were delicious! Reminds me of Italian delis back in NYC. Highly recommend. Pictured is the Italian and it was phenomenal. The service was also on point. Very welcoming."

The Bodega Deli

★★★★☆ 4.1 (37)

"Been going here for years shout out the owner she's an amazing and super kind individual and buisness is always great"

7th St Ny Deli

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (7)

"I never got to try this place when it was Adam's 7th street market, but I noticed that it has since reopened as 7th St NY Deli. As you can tell from their name they appear to take inspiration from the bodegas and delis NYC is known for. I will let a native New Yorker opine as to whether or not they meet this criteria, but after trying some of their food I am intrigued and certainly willing to explore their menu some more. They offer a long list of traditional deli sandwiches, as well as breakfast sandwiches, wings, burgers, and gyros. I most recently ordered their Crispy Clucker wrap and a side of 6 wings. I thought both were solid and wouldn't hesitate to order again. They have a lot of toasted sandwich options that look intriguing to me so I will for sure be back. If you are in need of a quick lunch or breakfast sandwich I would for sure recommend stopping in."

Pasta & Provisions

★★★★☆ 4.4 (142) • $$

"This is the OG Pasta and Provisions location. I remember coming here as a child/ teen and getting the delicious cannolis. They were always stuffed full of the sweet ricotta cream and full of chocolate chips. It was a lovely treat as a kid. They have a wide variety of pasta and a small grocery area of fine Italian goods. We would mostly get the homemade ravioli (Butternut Squash and Lobster were my favorites), Basil Goat Cheese spread and Focaccia The only bad thing about this location and the reason I don't visit now is the parking. They have a few spaces up front and the store front is on busy Providence Rd. Pasta and Provisions 1528 Providence RdCharlotte, NC 28207"

Niko's Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (60) • $

"It was my first time eating here and I'm very impressed. I went during lunch hour and I was out within 7-10mins, tops! I got a cheeseburger, fries, and a bottled soda. The burger was fresh and made exactly how I wanted it and the bun was toasted just slightly which was satisfying. There is plenty of seating for dining in however, I took my order to go. They accept card and Apple Pay which is very convenient. Nice place to grab lunch if you're near the airport."

US Foods CHEF'STORE

★★★★☆ 4.1 (31) • $$

"I am not a big fan of bulk buying in general, but my kitchen supplies and spices, in bulk, all day long! Here's my grocery list for the chef store that saves buckoo bucks, compared to grocery store pricing.1. Large Black Peppercorns2. Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce3. Restaurant Tub of Duke's Mayo4. Heinz Ketchup5. Gulden's Mustard6. French's Mustard7. Heinz 578. Capers9. 20lb Jasmine RiceAll the condiments I buy in large containers and fill my own plastic, squirt bottles at home, I call it doing my sidework. (restaurant lingo)They also have restaurant plastic containers, all sizes with lids, I prefer these for storage and leftovers. They also make great gifts. People love restaurant stuff! I also buy plastic gloves by the case, I use them for cooking, cleaning, dying my hair. Now with Covid, pumping gas. I love the plastic, white cutting boards too. Don't buy one too big, make sure it fits in your sink. Now that I realize how much I buy in bulk, I actually love buying in bulk it's the large box stores that I do not enjoy. But the Chef Store is very manageable. They do check receipts going out the door, that drives me crazy, because you see I just bought it, they are standing right there. Such a waste of time. I think that's just the Karen in me trying to slip out."

Jeter's Deli

★★★★☆ 3.5 (15) • $

"Doesn't look like much when passing by, but I went to this place for the first time with my grandmother for a lunch date. The food was exactly what you would expect from a hole-in-the-wall small deli shop, it was phenomenal! Everyone was super kind and servers were attentive. I've been back since, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something quick and homestyle in "smallsbury"!!"

Sileo's New York

★★★★☆ 4.4 (187) • $

"Fiancee and I stopped in craving a close to authentic NY bagel, and we found so much more!!! Didn't expect to be invited to sit down in their cozy little dining area. We loved the sports decor...but the food!!!Ordered a build your own omlete that was so good I ordered a Cuban to go.At home eating the Cuban now while leaving this review and the Cuban is all NEW YORK!!!!!BTW, we both were blown away with the authentic NY bagel.This is a must try and we will return!!"

Steak 'n Hoagie Shop

★★★★☆ 4.2 (108) • $

"Solid place for cheesesteaks, subs and grilled chicken Greek salads. Always consistent and good."

Rock Hill Bagels & Deli

★★★★★ 4.7 (104) • $

"I love the variety in which this joint has to offer. I will say the blueberry bagel has absolutely zero flavor despite the bold, bluish color of the bagel. Any egg and bagel breakfast sandwich kinda sucks. There is such little egg and the bagels are SOOO DRY. It's like putting a goldfish (egg) on top of a triscuit (bagel). Also they are not gluten friendlY- despite what they say; They toast the gluten free bread in the same toaster as any other bagel or bread."

Tega Cay Gourmet Deli

★★★★★ 4.6 (267) • $

"When I was visiting my friend in Fort Mill, he went out to grab some bagels in the morning. I was not expecting much.I was PLEASANTLY surprised in the most delicious way. I took one bite of this bagel and cream cheese and was like, "this is a good bagel Travis." I took another bite of the bagel and was like, "this is like actually a really good bagel Travis." I probably said it like 5 times. The chew on this bagel was *chefs kiss*. I also decided to got a chicken caesar wrap because everything was so incredibly affordable. The flavor of the wrap was good... but the filling to tortilla ratio was a bit off. There was a lot of tortilla folded on other tortilla because of lack of filling. That said, the sparse filling inside was VERY good. The chicken was super fresh and the Caesar dressing was pretty darn tasty. There were just a few too many bites that were completely tortilla. Would go back. Just to emphasize... this is a pretty good bagel Travis."

Momma's Place

★★★★☆ 4.3 (54) • $

"First time trying Mommas place for lunch - got the club and fries- it was delicious and was a hefty portion size (yay -leftovers!!) Owner and staff were super friendly!! Will be back!"

Salvi Provisions

★★★★☆ 4 (2)

"Salvi Provision is a small market with a deli counter located in The Line. Grab specialty items, beer and wine and some produce. During my recent visit I just explored all the aisles and checked out the prices. Most of the items are on the pricey side. I will probably try the deli counter and would pick up a drink or snack when in the area again.Salvi Provisions 2151 Hawkins StCharlotte NC 28203 (Review 42 in 2023 and 782 overall)"

Southern Manners

★★★★☆ 4.4 (56) • $

"I love Southern Manners! I have never had anything quite like their baked oatmeal. It is my absolutely favorite. I also love their bacon, egg and cheese biscuit! Sometimes I get both lol the service is always great too. The staff is so kind and helpful. It feels like home, but you don't have to do any of the cooking or cleaning. I have yet to stop by for lunch, but I will definitely be back soon. I'll be sure to grab a picture of the famous baked oatmeal next time I'm in too."

Garden Deli Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (61) • $

"A great place. Food is delish. I wish they were open on Sunday. Love their ribeye night"

Mike's Deli and Bagels

★★★★☆ 4 (125)

"While the bagels and style of Mike's is typical of a bagel shop in NYC or Long Island, I was a little frustrated with the service. Typically, in NYC, when you order just a bagel with cream cheese, the person who takes your order will just go ahead and make your bagel (that's the way it was done for the 19 years l lived in NY). It just makes sense. Instead, it was put in with the orders for people who ordered several breakfast bagels. As a result, I waited almost 20 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese. Typically, I just get a dozen bagels and take them home which is what I'll do going forward. It's not a knock on Mike's or the people working there because it's a great place with good bagels. I just wish they would change the process of completing simple orders."

Bagel Bin

★★★★☆ 3.6 (202) • $

"Amazing food, old school deli at its finest, The service was great, punctual and delicious. The place is small with ample seating but the modern bright atmosphere makes for an upscale ambiance."
