The Most Scrumptious Delis in Columbus

The Brown Bag Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (498) • $$

"I love Brown Bag. I wish I could say I have tried more sandwich menu items, but there's really just one I keep coming back for time and time again: The Village Addiction. Cheesey, toasted to perfection sourdough, slightly sweet and slightly tangy cranberry mayo, and turkey. Perfection. Throw in one of their fresh and tasty deli sides and/or a yummy dessert, and you've got yourself a real party.Like seriously, a sandwich from here can turn your whole day around. And they're the kind of sandwiches you don't have to feel guilty about buying, because they're not the kind you can easily make at home unless you are a gourmet chef. Dining in is nice an easy: order at the counter, and they usually bring your food to you. Or, on a nice day, place a carry out order and eat at Schiller park, which is just a block away!"

Yappy Greek

★★★★★ 4.6 (432) • $$

"This is a very unassuming restaurant in a sort of industrial part of Worthington. Definitely a sort of hole in the wall, easy to miss place but def worth the drive and find! The owner was super friendly and recognized us as first timers. He provided a quick run down of the special of the day.I ordered the combo number 1 which is a gyro pita with fries and a drink. We also got the trio dip which had hummus, spicy feta, and eggplant. All the food was really good and came out really fast. The pita on the gyro and for the dips was so soft and fluffy with a nice crisp to it as well. The fries were also great dipped in the various dips. The owner actually came out and gave us a free brownie dessert with ice cream to welcome us, which was a super nice gesture.Definitely a great little Greek restaurant with amazing food and service! They also do delivery so if its too middle of nowhere for you, get some delivery!"

Uptown Deli and Brew

★★★★☆ 4 (306) • $$

"Downtown Westerville, Ohio just north of Columbus. Great food and really liked dining here. I had the Pastrami and Rye with chips and couldn't finish the whole thing. Don't skip on your pickle, they are great.Service was really slow but friendly. We were in no rush. Nice atmosphere with dining upfront, by the bar, and outside patio. We were able to eat outside which was nice. Would definitely recommend and some yummy food. Everyone enjoyed their meal."

Cornerstone Deli & Café

★★★★☆ 4 (263) • $

"A place that offers deli sandwiches and asian fare.... definitely is not what you would expect when walking in. But what an absolute hidden gem! The menu is reasonably priced and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a very laid back and easy going environment. Walk up to the counter, order and you'll receive your food fairly quickly.Parking -- you'll have to find street parking either on high street or one of the side streets.We went the sandwich route this time around but looking forward to coming back and trying the rice bowls and pad thai!"

Richie's New York Corner Deli

★★★★★ 4.6 (128) • $

"Great food and friendly service. Reuben sandwich was delicious. Canolli was very fresh and delightful."

Main Street Deli Bar and Arcade

★★★★★ 4.6 (126) • $

"Amazing lunch. Passed through on our way to GA. The hot Italian on gluten free bread was delicious! The GF bread wasn't dried out and the flavor was really nice. My husband loved the Hobo as is. Not to mention the super friendly smiling service! I almost can't wait to drive back to Michigan so we have a reason to stop ."

Vincenzo's Convenient Elegance

★★★★☆ 4.3 (90) • $$

"The lasagna they make is better than any Italian restaurant I've been to. I probably said "emmm" 15-20 times last night while eating it. Wine selection is great. Their Gorgonzola stuffed olives are tremendous. Every time I have been here, I have really enjoyed all the food I've gotten."

Hellas Carryout

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (119) • $$

"Had egg shells in my omelette. Omelette not bright yellow but dingy and greasy for my taste. Showed them the eggshells. Didn't insist on making right. Didn't finish my meal. I didn't feel like there are any options for the healthy conscience. Everyone raves about the unhealthy options however. I'll stick with First Watch."

The Hills Market Downtown

★★★★☆ 3.6 (100) • $$

"Before I say anything, I must mention that I'm biased to their hot food bar (their chicken and pork is really good!!).This grocery store is the only one in the downtown area, so it's more expensive. It does have most staples at higher prices. It has a nice wine & beer section, some fresh breads, a decent cheese section. There is also a really large prepared foods section. They have a salad bar & prepared salads as well as cooked chicken/beef. They also have Charmy's, the Persian kitchen. Honestly the star of the show, and the reason I'm rating them as a 4 is the hot food bar. Particularly the meats. Sometimes I just grab a pound of meat (10.99 lb) and make my own meals at home with it. The meat is so tender and usually has a really nice sauce or spice, I would say restaurant quality or better! As long as you know what what you're getting into and what the best offerings are, I think this is a reasonable "grocery store". A plus is the friendly employees!"

Katzinger's Dublin

★★★☆☆ 3 (131) • $$

"Is it possible that I have found the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had! A resouding YES!Perfectly toasted rye bread with hot corned beef, Swiss cheese, house made Russian dressing and of course, sauerkraut! The crispiness of the toasted rye bread continued throughout every bite and was accompanied with layers of flavor! The corned beef was very flavorful and had the perfect amount of kraut. The house made dressing was full of flavor as well. My wife had the tuna and I tried one bite of it -- equally as delicious of a sandwich. It would be great even as a hot tuna melt (which is also available)Be sure and check out the pickle barrels where you can chose from whole dill or garlic dill pickles. You simply cannot go wrong with any sandwich that you order here. Wide selection of sandwich offerings. The desserts looked great as well, but we just did not have room to be able to share one. Ask about their charcuterie board options!"

Mike & Rosy's Deli

★★★★☆ 3.5 (86) • $$

"We were here a few years ago at the recommendation of a friend who went to college at Wittenberg in the 1980s & it was excellent. Great subs, very nice people"

Sarefino's Pizzerria & Italian Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (63) • $

"Good pizza a definite must try is walking around hungry and want good fresh pizza. Pizzas are big"

Big Star Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (52) • $

"Delicious Calzones, Stromboli, & Sicilian Pizza.Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area. I drive by everyday, and decided to stop in with my two boys. They loved the cheese calzone & ham/pepperoni stromboli. I got the Deluxe Sicilian pizza. The service was great and to the point. The boys got the best "cheese-pulls" from this place. I will definitely be coming back."

Weaver's Market & Deli

★★★★★ 4.7 (37) • $

"Sandwiches are huge and cheap! Their sandwich meal deal will cost you less than $7 and will get you a sandwich, drink, chips, and a candy bar. You really can't beat the prices. While they are making your sandwich you can shop around the market. They have a variety of goodies and snacks you can purchase. Really great spot to grab an affordable meal!"

Lake Life Deli & Dogs

★★★★☆ 3.9 (44) • $

"Went to the deli today and was very impressed with my food. I had the Italian sub because it is the special on Tuesday, and I am cheap . It was wonderful, they certainly didn't skimp on the meat or veggies and there were plenty of banana peppers to give it that good flavor, the lettuce tomato and onion were all very fresh and it was finished with a good mayo (Duke's?).My wife had the chicken tenders and a side salad. The chicken was very lightly breaded but had a very good fried chicken flavor. It is awesome watching this deli grow into a "go to" place as it evolves into something great. As far as portions, I had trouble finishing my sub and my lady has leftovers. Well done, I am so impressed!"

Rick’s Freshmade

★★★★★ 4.8 (27)

"Awesome sandwiches and friendly staff. We walked in right before they were supposed to close (normally we wouldn't do that) but we've been wanting to try it. The girls were friendly and didn't appear to be frustrated with last minute customers. BOMB rice crispy treats with fruity pebbles. We will be back!"

Main Street Deli

★★★★★ 4.8 (25) • $

"The best rueban!!! Fresh cut meats and cheese's. Macaroni salad was very fresh. They toasted the bread too. The parking is small bit very glad I found this place. Will be my goto lunch spot everytime that I'm in town."

W.g. Grinders

★★★☆☆ 3 (64) • $

"Grinders used to be all over, and we often went to the closest one. Now, there are only a few. This was handy, and had a steady stream of pickup orders on a Sunday evening.Pretty much the same menu as always. I got a Sicilian, an Italian sub with sausage. Great meat, good bread, fresh veggies. We got macaroni salad and pasta salad for Baby K. They also had juice boxes for kids, which is nice.Service was great. Prices are reasonable. Quality is very good."

Fox’s Bagels & Deli - Bexley

★★★★☆ 3.8 (34)

"My favorite breakfast food. Closest thing to a NY deli in Columbus. Super affordable and delicious! 5/5 star review sober. 10/5 star review when I'm hungover. These breakfast sandwiches SAVE. MY. LIFE."

Giant Eagle Market District

★★★★☆ 3.9 (31) • $$

"I regularly do my grocery shopping at Giant Eagle Market District. It is always very clean and organized. They recently reorganized the store and provided customers with an updated list of where everything was and they had workers around the stores to help assist customers. They have a wide selection of options. I have a friend who is gluten free and she said their gluten-free section is one of the best in the area. The wine/liquor/beer section always has a wide variety of options as well. This Giant Eagle actually has their own bar and their carts have cupholders which allows customers to have a drink while they shop. Their fresh food options (sushi, homestyle cooking station, pizza and sub, and wok stations) are fantastic.The only drawback is the parking lot. Since this GE has such central location, it is busy pretty much all the time which makes the parking lot kind of a mess but there is nothing they can do about that. Their pharmacy is always fast and efficient as well."

Howdy's Deli

★★★★☆ 3.9 (24) • $

"Had some really good lunch with my friends from here today. I had the Italian sandwich on Sourdough. My friends had the Ruben. We are all very excited to return soon!"

Belmont Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (18) • $

"This place is tucked-away in the Belmont Caskets building, but it is well worth seeking out. Fast, fresh, and amazingly affordable, The Belmont Deli's specialization is a great, casual, and heathy breakfast/lunch options for business people in a hurry.The owners and staff alike are quick, courteous, and highly respectful of your time constraints. A solid option hidden in the Arena District and a solid value! Togo or limited seating are available."

Fox's Bagel & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.7 (12)

"Honestly hands down the best bagel I have EVER had! I got the cheddar jalapeño bagel with veggies cream cheese . Omg that cream cheese was so smooth almost whipped and the bagel was nicely chewy and huge! I wish I could go back and get a half dozen!!!!! Definitely will come back!"

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (13)

"Love this place. Always friendly, order online most of the time and sandwich is always done correctly and on time. Delicious fresh ingredients and are hands down the best sub in town.I read where someone complained about they ordered online and it wasn't ready when they arrived in 20 minutes. Thing is that's almost exclusively what I use to order and every time it's 30 minutes so if you arrive in 20 yeah it may not be ready."

The Deli Cafe At Frost Village

★★★★☆ 3.9 (7)

"Great service! Good food! Friendly staff! Nice space! Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch."

NYC Deli Mart

★★★★☆ 4.4 (5)

"Very interesting setup where it's a market and smoke shop with a deli inside. The subs are creative and all looked really good. I went with the hot pastrami sub which was very hot but good with the bread selection. The extra crispy fries were good, but the waffle fries which I had a sample of were also very tasty. Would come back to try more of their sub options. Staff was very friendly."

Sam's Pizza & Heros

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (8)

"Best pizza, pep bread and fried mushrooms around. Pizza is not greasy and sauce is not too acidic. Fresh ingredients and freshly made bread. Quality you don't get at other pizza shops. I would recommend to anyone in Wayne County and surrounding areas."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (6)

"Picked up sandwiches after our doctor's appointments. The store was well kept and clean. We were greeted and all the staff were friendly and professional! Our sandwiches were made quickly and exactly as expected. Very delicious!!"

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"Didn't even know this was here. I needed something fast but hopefully better than fast food, and it was handy. Saw Nanci's review and her sandwich sounded good so I got essentially the same thing.It was good. Very good. Loaded with meat, veggies, toppings, and yet still held together and wasn't messy. Staff were friendly and efficient. In the strip so plenty of parking (not out by City and Taco Bell, behind them, by the cleaners.) Clean inside, small, you are right there when they make it. Decent prices and good quality."

Clintonville Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Great Breakfast! Had the tacos and a burrito. I will be back. Prices are wonderful."
