The Best Delis in Sacramento

Le Croissant Park Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (91) • $

"The owner of this place is extremely friendly and puts his soul into the sandwiches.Today I had the Grilled Campagnolo.Grilled chicken breast, roasted red peppers, provolone cheese, focaccia sauce and baby lettuce. Perfection between grilled sourdough! Took it to go and made it a combo for $4 more.I highly recommend trying it!"

Roundhouse Deli

★★★★★ 4.8 (948) • $$

"Have heard nothing but great things about this place and have been wanting to go. Today was the day! Rainy, cold and ready for tacos, because tacos make everything better! Walked in the kid at the register had a huge smile on his face and greeted us. Husband said we haven't been here before what do we do! He suggested different things and I settled on trip tip tacos and hubby got the breakfast burrito! Enjoyed all the pictures all over the walls! Luck was on our side we found a little table in the corner. Quick service got our food and it was HOT! Their salsa had some great flavor and the shells on the tacos were perfection! Now I know why everyone raves about it! So happy I got to experience it first hand and will be back!"

Lighthouse Market & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (14) • $

"They sure keep this place clean. Inside and out. Every morning they have a guy meticulously sweeping couple leaves in the parking lot outside the store. It shows me they care. And the family working there is always nice and friendly.Don't know how good their food is since I only stop for beer. In the evening time, you are always guaranteed to see some entertainment, whether it is a cracked up lady dancing by herself in the parking lot like Snooki or some homeless guy running around like crazy, rolling in the dirt. This place is where the action is at."

Brew Masters Deli

★★★★★ 4.9 (78) • $$

"Had a downright enjoyable visit last week at Brew Masters. When I arrived it was just myself and the two staff members at the counter. They could not have been more accomodating and friendly. I let them know that Jessica had responded to an email inquiry about hanging out and using their Wifi while I ate dinner, and right away I was directed to the most comfortable seating area which held overstuffed couches and chairs (freaking awesome). I plugged right in and was treated to a sample of blond ale, which was a terrific recommendation. After about 20 minutes the crowd started to filter in and I'm pretty sure every single person was recognized. It was awesome. I ordered the chicken tacos special and they were terrific. Can't wait try one of their sandwiches and soup.It's always a little intimidating trying out small town establishments when you aren't a true local. But that night, I sure felt like one!***Make sure to check out when they are open because the hours are limited."

The New Yorker Deli

★★★★★ 4.6 (9)

"Amazing well thought out menu. The chef takes his time making real food for the customers."

Atwood Liquor & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14) • $

"Stopped in for a sandwich after hearing rave reviews. I was pleasantly surprised!! I called ahead and he staff was friendly and very helpful. The Sammy came out great! Fresh ingredients and make exactly how I asked them too! Great prices too, as they include chips and a drink. I'll be back!"

North Fork Deli

★★★★★ 4.7 (204) • $

"The sandwich artist nailed it! The way the veggies were cut, the contents to bread ratio was on point, and a little drizzle of oil and vinegar was the icing on the cake. The turkey special on sourdough was amazing and well described "as if the Turkey and the Veggie had a baby." I loved the enthusiasm of the team sando! Washed down with a chocolate peanut butter smoothie was perfection. ‍"

Pocket Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (314) • $$

"We love the pocket deli. Everything we have tried is delicious. My husband loves the lean pastrami and I love the Italian sandwich. The pocket bread is unique and so tasty."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 4 (14)

"So excited for this location. They have delicious sandwiches I love the chipotle turkey on rosemary Parmesan bread. I might be addicted a little See you soon"

Dominick's Italian Restaurant & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.9 (661) • $$

"Hey east coasters!!! Longing for an authentic Italian deli sandwich? Well, look no further... Dominick's in Granite Bay, CA has a muffuletta sandwich that is better than all of the New York and Philly area delis that is unbeatable in quality and price. In the last ten years when a craving for authentic deli sandwiches strikes, this has been my go to.The service is amazing and the sandwiches are sliced/made fresh on the spot. The deli meats are the best you can get west of the Mississippi. They also have a full Italian menu for family feasts so you can bring the kiddos too.There is outside seating in the deli area or inside seating at the attached restaurant/bar next door.I highly recommend Dominick's especially for the east coasters looking for that authentic deli taste that the sandwich chains will never be."

Mediterranean Sea Market and Deli

★★★★☆ 4.1 (70) • $

"I don't think people know about this place because it's so good!!!! It's a deli so order the food to go. It's packed wall to wall with Persian food staples!We got gyro sandwiches and they were huge! One could have fed the two of us. The flavors were delicious as well.We shopped a bit while waiting and got tabbueh and tazziki sauce, and Turkish baklava. Seriously the best."

Alegria meat market

★★★★★ 4.7 (67) • $

"As soon as you step through those doors, there is a welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts a smile on your face. And if it doesn't, Julio, the resident jokester behind the register, will make sure to crack a few jokes!- the nugget ice is why I come here! Just give them a heads up, and they'll have those 20-pound bags of icy goodness waiting for you at the counter.- their house-made michelada mix is an absolute game-changer. Pair it with their mango chamoy, and thank me later.- they have all kinds of pre-gaming snacks and tri-tip sandwiches!Stop by this little gem of a market asap!"

Clements Ridge

★★★★☆ 3.8 (192) • $$

"This place is amazing! They have the best pies and chicken pot pies and steak pot pies, and now they have butter chicken!!!! AK was amazing and super nice, gave us samples and great recommendations! They now have a wine bar plus the beat road side snacks ever. Their beef jerky game is off the hook too, try the Korean bbq brisket beef jerky! From sauces to ice cream this place has it all, plus wonderful service. They old have curry pot pies now so I'm always stopping by when I roll through!"

The Sandwich Spot

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (193) • $

"" Heck yeah I would refer this spot!! "Super cute spot and all their sandwiches are named after Vegas casinos and Hotels. I highly recommend the #16 the Palms Delicious, reasonably priced and a tasty bang for your buck! I sincerely recommend getting the Ghost pepper cheese added to you sandwich if you are a spicy person like myself! It's literally the best. There are other Sandwich Spots In the 916 area, but this location has the same menu as the others and they don't jack up their prices like the others do!! Very reasonable for the amount of deliciousness your getting. Great ingredients- baked bread options - and fresh daily baked bomb ass cookies!!! The chocolate chip is just about pure perfection. Definitely recommend stopping here"

Sam's Market

★★★★☆ 4.3 (58) • $

"I come to Sam's once a week for a sandwich! My go to is the pastrami on a French roll. I would recommend coming before noon, since the lunch rush gets extremely crowded! The family who runs the shop is so nice, and I always have such a pleasant experience when I come!"

Gold Harvest Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (36) • $

"Great cheese steak, exceeds expectations. Also, I appreciate their (2) cashiers keeping the line from forming. Many places look to save $$ and screw the cash paying customer. Makes you want to return to buy gas here at GHM."

River City Bagels

★★★★☆ 4.3 (185) • $

"Eh, the bagels here are just okay. Kinda bland (even regarding the all-in-one flavored bagel, which I assumed to be an everything bagel equivalent) but their interior is light and dinner-roll soft when heated. Cream cheese spread is very plain Jane.3 Stars for the food but I added a star because the gentleman at the counter was super nice. He (probably the owner?) seemed really appreciative that I stepped foot into the bagel shop.Best to go early in the morning especially on a Saturday. Slim pickings by 10 am."

Gularte's Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (125) • $

"Best take-n-bake pizza in the county, hands down! The staff are always friendly and ready to assist you. Super easy to call ahead for a pizza pick up orders or lunch to go! Usually fairly quiet (as in noise level) inside even during the lunch rush. Check them out!! Hours are limited so call ahead or check out their website."

Tipps & Shakes Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (134) • $

"Got a double cheeseburger and strawberry milkshake. Fantastic! Best hearty burger I've had in a while."

Bel Air

★★★★☆ 3.8 (39)

"Store is great. Employees are fantastic. Service everywhere is first-rate. Quality of food is excellent and I've never had any issue with spoilage. Convenient to the community of Rancho Murieta. It is appreciated to have this store here. The prices will make your eyes POP OUT! I simply don't shop here for most of my food. It's a shame. I know - everything has gone up - this store has ALWAYS been expensive - just like the gas station in front of it - it's about convenience and literally nothing for twenty minutes. Honestly, most items cost two to three dollars more than most stores. I've gone in there and spent 400-500 dollars! You simply can't get out of here for less than 80-100 dollars. I don't know how anyone on a greatly reduced budget could even consider shopping here. I've even heard the cashiers say - "well I don't shop here, I shop at Winco." Here's some advice to the store: Your OWN employees can't afford to shop there - that is a PROBLEM."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 3.6 (20)

"Atmosphere was wonderful. The sandwich was amazing. David cooked it as ordered. #17 is our favorite. There was a woman mopping and keeping the place great."

Beach Hut Deli - Sacramento

★★★★★ 4.8 (9)

"Great customer service! Fresh meats and cheeses. Very clean establishment. Definitely my go to spot for a better sandwich than Subway."

General Store and Deli

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (70) • $

"A decent and relatively well-maintained General Store that caters to the downtown crowd aka a lot of State workers. It's not doing anything exceptional but it is a good option for those in the area. I like this store in particular because it's a little off the beaten path. It's naturally situated in an area where the only clientele are going to be folks who are coming to, leaving or breaking from their job in the numerous surrounding buildings. That eliminates a lot of the traffic and interesting clientele you'd get with, say, your traditional 7-11. The store includes a deli which sells sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads. I've mostly stopped in for snacks over the years but I did have a sandwich once. It was fine in a pinch, but I can also think of many tastier and more exciting offerings from other nearby eateries."

Clements Country Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (38)

"This is a great place to stop in and get a great sandwich on your way to the hills. Their sandwiches are really good and the people are so friendly. We'll stop in for sure on our way to Big Trees next time."

Old School Smoke Express

★★★★☆ 4.4 (16)

"Great barbecue hidden inside a quiet office park in South Natomas. The owner serves the food and personally smokes the brisket.The owner comes from Dallas, Texas and is familiar with Texas style barbecue. The barbecue sauce is sweet and tangy. The meat is succulent, juicy and flavorful."

Jimmy's Soul Food & Hmong Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (88) • $

"Ok - so i have been to Jimmy's many times, more in the 80's then recent, but it's Jimmy's, right?Things can't be that different, can they? YES, they can! It is now ran by Hmong folks and I never knew they cooked soul food, but in DPH (Del Paso Heights) they do! Here is the lowdown:You order at the front counter, but you have to first go to the back and figure out what you want.Menu: Meats:Fried chicken- looked like yesterday's Smothered chicken - looked light skinned and under cooked Smothered Ox Tails - in a reddish sauce?Turkey legs/Wings - looked very good and almost done- needed to cook longerMeat Loaf (individuals) - looked great!!Fried Fish (fried fresh to order)- wasn't on ice, but was in a cooler?Spaghetti - looked very good- chunky with meat and bell peppers etcChitlins- well, just plain nasty to meSides: Greens- look goodBeans- Red, black-eyed, pinto , green Dressing- not done at all, soupyCabbage- goodMac n cheese- looked goodRice- can't mess that upThe place is a neighborhood market and they are in the back.It is in the MIDST of the heights, so yeah- nuff said.I checked in and left because the food just did not LOOKED cooked a bit longer.just didn't want to be sick tonight! Oh yeah- they used to have the bomb breakfast sandwiches so I will go back and try again...one day!"

European Delicatessen

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (51) • $$$$

"One of the best places in Sac for fresh bread, deli offers a great variety of sausages and cheeses. Also a great place for tea and cookies."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3 (197) • $$

"I left a review for JM before. Of course it has disappeared. Thanks Yelp! I came in for a free regular sub. I got the big kahuna cheesesteak. It was tasty. I signed up for their loyalty program. Sucks their big coupons are only for $1 off. Kinda cheap I'd say. Place was clean and only 1 in line when I waa there around 4pm. Overall, I like their cold subs I tried with free or coupons in the past but I don't come here without a deal as their prices are high. At least Subway has weekly Bogo/other deals."

Red Corral Mini Mart

★★★★☆ 3.9 (22) • $

"We did a random "deli" Yelp search on our way back from Kirkwood and we turned around to back track a little for this. It hit the spot after a long day on the mountain. I definitely recommend stopping in for a sandwich if you're in the area."

Lam Kwong Market

★★★★☆ 4.3 (387) • $$

"Family ran, small business selling dim sum and hot Chinese food. CASH only. The dim sum recipes are old school Cantonese. The hot food is classic Americanized Chinese. The place is not fancy. I usually go there the first thing in the morning when they open at 8am. They already have a selection of fresh dim sum and fried chicken (drumsticks and thighs). They have BBQ pork buns, pineapple buns, cocktail buns, hot dog buns, shu mai, har gow always at the morning get go at 8am. They might even have sesame balls, ham sui goo (fried pork filled glutinous rice dumplings, fried chicken, and egg custards ready to go. I enjoy all the dim sum. Plus the fresh fried chicken in the morning makes for a tasty breakfast. The nondescript shop is on the corner of U and 12th Street in the urban downtown suburb. It's across the street from an elementary school. Parking is free street parking with more spots across the street on U Street (those are pull in spots)."

Adam's International Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (434) • $

"I have been eating & shopping here for years. Literally. It gives small market & deli vibes. It is a family owned & operated business. The service is outstanding, it's the type you can only get when you shop at a mom & pop. From the moment you walk in, you genuinely feel welcomed. There is a butcher counter with a great selection of halal meat, fresh produce, Mediterranean and Afghani/Pakistani/Iranian spices, packaged foods, frozen foods & bakery items. The restaurant selections are all tasty. Our favorites are the Hummus Bilahmah, Shawarma & Falafel. Get extra hot sauce & garlic sauce... they are the BEST. We are also big fans of their fish & chips & sandwiches. Don't feel like waiting? Call them ahead and place the order for pick up!"

Midtown Market & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (31) • $

"My friend and I ate here recently. It's one of the few convenient stores which also doubles as a sandwich shop. She ordered the samosas and I had the Tuna Melt combo meal. There were huge chunks of tuna mixed with mayo, sliced onions, and topped with American cheese. Served on lightly toasted white bread. This place is packed during a busy lunch hour, but we were in-and-out within a few minutes. The daily specials are inexpensive."

BriarPatch Food Co-op

★★★★☆ 3.6 (21)

"Excellent Co-op with a new location closer to my home. I am beyond thrilled!!! Today was the Grand Opening. I arrived 15 minutes early to a line all of the way around the store. Wowza!! And they did not disappoint! Everyone attending is full of smiles and laughter. The employees are polite, friendly and extremely helpful. Within minutes of my entering, an employee helped me find the perfect shampoo for my hair type. Not always easy, as I am picky about ingredients and sourcing. Then, at the register, Bryan was delightfully greeting everyone while he quickly and efficiently ran the register. The line was long, yet moved darn fast. I regret forgetting his courtesy clerks name... however, she bagged my groceries perfectly in 2 (gifted to me by Briar Patch) reusable bags. Then, on my way out, I was gifted a bag full of free goodies and samples. Yayyy! Score! A new fabulous place to shop, where I can support the best (right for me) products and local produce. This is a huge WIN for Auburn."

Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op

★★★★☆ 3.9 (856) • $$

"100% absolutely overwhelmed and in the best way. This just became my favorite Co-Op I've ever been to. Best ways to describe it : - If REI was a grocery store- If a homeopathic herbalist had a child, and that child started up REI, this would be their local community grocery store.- Patagonia books this place for work meetings- North Face is exiled bc they went too mainstream- Chicks have dreads, men have man buns, and Subarus line the parking lot.I love it here. It's a large two story building, with the upstairs available to hang/eat whatever you get at the cafe downstairs. I found so many winners. They have the usual co-op things, like produce, bulk grains, fresh bread. But then they have the things that set them apart from other co-ops and Whole Foods. They have frankincense tears, myrrh, dried flower bouquets. I had jun for the first time (never heard of it, new fan), bulk spices like mulling spice (smells like Thieves or OnGuard), organic socks, bamboo pan scraper, and more. I absolutely love it here. At the cafe, I'm in Luteal so I tried the sweet potato soup (spicy, amazing), and I went for the Co-Op burger but I wanted it on sourdough (trust me and try it) and the chef Rubie said that's how she likes it too so I asked for the Rubie Special, and we added pepperoncini, and it *did not* disappoint. 10/10 would recommend. I will definitely be returning."

European Deli Store Odessa

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"Good prices, candy was very fresh that's what made me give this store a 5 star. Clean store in general. Good service, not far from me so will stop by again."
