39 Best Delis near Dorchester

“Got lunch here yesterday for the first time. The man who took our order was extremely kind and flexible about our questions. The food came out promptly and was delicious especially for the price. Excellent experience, was previously unaware this place existed but I will definitely be eating here again!“

“Get a yahoo, thank me later“

“Best people and best food around! Love them for breakfast AND lunch. Always the friendliest guys in there. Counter service style deli. Portions are HUGE, so come hungry. One of our party ordered the Animal burger and this thing was a BEAST. Felt like I was watching a real life version of Man vs. Food. Greek salad also rocked.“

“For years, I breezed past this spot, assuming it was just and old convenience store. Little did I know, I was missing out on some good sandwich deals. A few months back, I discovered they were slinging subs, so I stopped by a couple times to grab some cold subs.

P&K has been a neighborhood fixture for over seven decades, and you can feel that old-school charm the moment you meet the owner. He’s the kind of guy who’s always friendly and never skimps on the toppings—generosity is clearly baked into the business. While the sandwiches aren’t quite the size of Al’s famous subs, they still pack great value, and honestly, they’re hefty enough that I rarely manage to finish one for breakfast. My favorites so far were the seafood salad and the classic Italian sandwich.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for no-frills, classic Italian subs. Just keep in mind that the hot subs aren’t usually available until after 10am.“

“I had an Italian sub from Carmella's last night. It was the best Italian sub I have ever had. Amazing. The Capo Regime.“

“HANDS DOWN THE BEST SANDWICHES WE HAVE EVER HAD 🤌🏼“

“It’s soup weather & Dag’s has the most wonderful chicken noodle soup!!“

“I love the food and my friends there there the best option if your in Eastie that’s for sure“

“Tried it for the first time today. It was delicious! I will be ordering again!“

“Clean, bright , sunny shop. Polite , efficient staff.Wide variety of snacks (jerky to baklava)Small amount of odd stuff (tiny bottles of herbal tonic ).Standard cold beef, tuna, chicken turkey sandwiches with maybe a veggie option.No ham, but no halal or kosher marks“

“March 8th we had a retirement party catered from Stevie and gang at Sammys. Cold Cut Platter Assorted Calzone Chicken Boccoli and Ziti Sausage Potato Pepper and Onion Garden salad and dressing. Delivered to Saugus!!! Hot. Fresh. On time. Cost effective. Tasty!!!! Plentiful, we ran out of nothing with 50 adults, mostly men. 5 star job. ☆☆☆☆☆ Will use for the next gathering as well. Thanks All, Steve Passariello“

“Milano’s catered our work function and was so easy to work with. The food was incredible and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs.“

“Delicious sandwiches at reasonable prices. We got the pastrami sandwich and a bacon egg and cheese and both sandwiches were fantastic and generously portioned. My husband said his pastrami was so good that it's going to make the rent go up. Highly recommend, we definitely will be returning.“

“My opinion is 9.6/10. Came here because of man vs food did the 2 lbs burger. This place till this day has the juiciest burger meat I ever had was literally dripping down my arm, but not only juicy flavorful and highly enjoyable. I don't like Boston, as a NYer but this place is the only reason I would ever go back. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“Simply Put Just Delicious. Quality down from the soup to the sandwiches.“

“Have been here a few times for lunch and I see why it is a staple in South Boston.

I'm a sucker for chicken cutlets so my two experiences and now go-tos for sandwiches were the Mamma Mia and Chicken Americano. The bread was so soft and fresh. Same goes for the chicken cutlets. Additionally they were thin, but hearty, crispy, yet juicy. Not only was the sandwich delicious, but was it filling. I am not a small guy and I had to wrap the second half of the sandwich up for later. This doubles the value as each sandwich is about $12, making it $6/meal if you split it in half, which will be a necessity if you add some chips and a beverage.

One small negative is their pizza. Being me, I have try a cheese slice wherever I see one available. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either, however, it's clear to me that you don't come to J Pace's for pizza.

If you're visiting Boston or live in and around Southie you got to stop by for a sandwich or maybe two. I'll be back soon and often!“

“This place is awesome and the people are awesome. Cookies, candy, and pastries.The produce is nice and fresh, and the sandwich, nice!
I couldn’t eat the whole thing. man I’m coming back here for lunch in the next couple days.
I wanna try the salad bar. It’s nicer than some big restaurants I’ve been at.“

“Best in the world I live for it. After working all week I take myself there and their chicken salad is the best in the world. The potato salad is scrumptious the people that work there are the best. They take good care of you and care about their customers they make it so pleasant going in there. it’s the yummiest most delicious chicken salad and potato salad I have ever had and I’m from a family of good cooks. Make no mistake. It’s the BEST! If when I’m out I make D and G part of my day. I would also like to say that my car didn’t start and the owner eagerly came from around the corner to help me. Along with great food there is great care to the customer! Mary S. Mary S.“

“Absolutely phenomenal spot! Max's is the real deal – an authentic, friendly deli with fantastic food at prices you just can't beat in Boston. The staff are brilliant and make you feel right at home. Whether it's a hearty breakfast or a classic, piled-high deli sandwich for lunch, they nail it every time. If you're looking for a genuine deli experience without the frills, just great food and great service, this is your place. Can't recommend it enough!“

“Exceptional breakfast near South Station. Highly recommended“

“Stopped in today, this was my second time shopping. Got 10lbs fresh kielbasa and lots of other goodies. Very helpful and pleasant staff. I’m not Polish, but my husband and kids are, so I cook the traditional Polish food. I will definitely keep coming back, so hard to find good authentic Polish food!!“

“I tried this place yesterday for the first time and I am so impressed! So far I’ve had the tabbouleh, the Israeli salad, baked fish with veggies, challah and chocolate babka and they were all so, go good! I still have frozen soups and a mushroom pot pie to try and can’t wait to eat my way through them this week for lunch. The fish was so good I can hardly believe it was frozen. My daughter kept asking for bites so I will be sure to buy multiple next time. I’ve been meaning to try this place and wish I’d gotten here sooner. They are gluten and dairy free and mostly meat free as well. A lot of their ingredients are organic and they use quality oil. They were telling me while I was there that they grind some of their flours in house. You can taste the quality! It’s so nice to have a safe, healthy and DELICIOUS option for take out! This place is worth the trip and I will absolutely be back. 😊“

“Breakfast is a must have!“

“Great locally owned spot for breakfast. The food was fast and fresh! And a great value! I had the 3 cheese omelet with breakfast potatoes, they were skin-on reds! My young daughter (9) had the English muffin egg and bacon —she wholeheartedly agreed. Beats the socks off the chain places nearby with preprepped frozen foods being made by people who don’t care.“

“Awesome! Having a Del’s lemonade push cart from you was easy, fun, and memorable. Thank you again.“

“Wow! I ordered a few things from The Real Deal in JP Yesterday. EVERYTHING I ordered was Absolutely Delicious! The Patty Melt was one of the best things I have ever tasted! The ”Godfather” I took for lunch today at work. Delicious! The combo of flavors was just perfect. They certainly know how to cook at this place! Wow! The Real Deal will be my new go-to place for take out!“

“(Translated by Google) I was very happy to find several Brazilian products, the sausage (sausage) equal to the Brazilian one. Congratulations on the service, I also liked the price of many products and keep it up. Five star because I can't give more.(Original)Fiquei muito feliz de encontrar vários produtos brasileiros, o salsichao ( linguiça ) igual ao brasileiro. Parabéns pelo atendimento, gostei também do preço de muitos produtos e continuem assim. Cinco estrela porque não posso dar mais.“

“No mind blowing “vibes” but food and quickness of it being ready are 100. Cash only. Went to Mike and Patty’s in high rise and they had no bacon so we left and found this place. 2 egg, toast, homefries and bacon with coffee for two was $20. Total. Hells yeah and ready by the time the change hit my hand.“

“Best pastrami sandwich I have ever had. Many times, people have tried to convince me on the merits of a pastrami sandwich. I had always left disappointed whenever I order pastrami...until I tried this place. Nestled in the corner of the Boston Public Market, it is worth making the trek here.“

“Was greeted promptly and in a friendly manner as soon as I walked in the door. Pamela was so helpful and SO accommodating. Had a hot italian sausage sub with peppers and onions and the flavor was to die for and I will definitely go back. The bread was from the bakery next door - Piantadosi's and was fresh as can be. That is the bread we buy at home as well. Nice butchery shop was plenty to choose from.“

“Tem tudo que você precisa e muito mais! Além de apoiar projetos sociais aqui e no Brasil, parabéns!!!“

“Letterie is a literally the best food I had in Boston consider its remarkable price. Customer service is really great. Jim has a big heart and really does his best to keep the place as clean as possible. Figgles worth is legit and delicious. Definitely come back for it next time!!!“

“#1 Honey baked ham. I've been buying their ham for Christmas dinner for over 15 years.“

“Wow! I ordered a few things from The Real Deal in JP Yesterday. EVERYTHING I ordered was Absolutely Delicious! The Patty Melt was one of the best things I have ever tasted!

“Great place to grab breakfast.
For years we've been getting the egg and cheese Croissants which are fresh made and great value. Not the dry crusted croissants one can expect from the coffee shop America runs on.
Drop by and fuel up in the morning.
A good quick stop!

Parking: Parking is available out front and is handicap accessible.“

“Best 3-way superbeef on the planet! Eric Hannon agrees!“

“Parking: Great place to grab a healthy meal to go or to enjoy while you do some people watching on Centre Street. My favorite is the Thanksgiving Day Sub, delicious every time. They have all the things you would expect at a convenience store with lots of Irish specials food too. There is a guy named Ahmad there, and he is incredibly kind. Stop in, grab a snack and tell him Alice said hello.“
