12 Best Delis in Raleigh

“Awesome soups and great food.“

“Stopped there for lunch today and had the Italian beef sandwich. It was super fresh and tasted amazing. One of the best Italian beef’s I have ever had. 10/10 will be back on my next trip to Raleigh“

“We ordered the Christmas take home Meal and it was superb!! Everyone raved about the freshness. The Prime Rib was delicious and the vegetables were very tasty and the rolls and pies were the best! We will be ordering for all the Holidays meals in 2025!“

“First time today trying out Oakwood Deli. Minus the lack of parking, we circled the block came back and found a park. Ordering was easy, staff was very helpful, food was great. Husband had the Italian and I had a grilled chicken wrap. Both were phenomenal. Pricing was very fair, his sandwich and my wrap were huge.“

“They serve a delicious BLT and a wide variety of other sandwiches! Perfect spot for a lunch break with outstanding service and a welcoming atmosphere. The owner is incredibly hospitable and really cares about his customers! I would highly recommend!“

“Yummy holiday food and traditional sides.“

“Went in there while waiting for something else not related to court business. Had a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich. Croissant was nice and big, toasted perfectly. Sausage tasty but not overpowering. Plenty of scrambled eggs, cooked well. Looked like at least 2 types of cheese, melted well and nice and gooey. Enjoyed a lot. Decent view from the 6th floor. Would definitely go again. Hopefully not because I am in court“

“Shout out to Marlo! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Good people, good food, good meat! Gettin late, let’s eat! 🥗🌭🍔🥪🥓“

“Update 12/1/25
We went back for the bagel-sausage-egg-cheese combo and decided to try two other sandwiches. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. We tried the smoked pastrami and the turkey reuben; both were basic (taste) and skimpy (meat-wise), and cost almost twice as much as the filling breakfast bagel. We won't make that mistake again, but they keep the 5-star rating for the bagel alone! Also, be mindful that the shop is within the Raleigh train station with paid parking.
I didn't get a chance to eat a bagel when I went back to my hometown NYC, however, a friend told me about Union Station Deli & Catering and I'm soooooooo glad he did!!! New York bagel spots may be famous, but Union Station truly shines in the Raleigh area! I recently enjoyed a breakfast bagel with my husband, a fellow New Yorker, and it was simply delightful, a truly authentic bagel taste that I crave. Even with two hearty sausage patties and eggs on the sandwich, I found myself craving more. The spot is clean and the staff is warm. They encourage debit/credit cards, but cash is accepted. Although the location is a bit tucked away by the train station, that won’t stop us—we're excited to return for another delicious experience!“

“Great place, friendly staff good portions for the price. Very clean. I highly recommend their chicken salad.“

“PHILLY SUB IS ALWAYS ON POINT PLEANTY OF MEAT AND TOPPINGS; I ALWAYS GET MINE TO GO THEY WRAP IT IN ALUMINUM FOIL THE STEAM MAKES THE BREAD SO GOOD. THE FRIES ARE ALSO ON POINT“

“Very nice owners and employees that seem to care, polite. I went out of my way to go to this specific subway for this reason. I actually walked out of jersey mikes around the corner a few months ago due to the girls poor attitude. So they are doing something right here. Keep it up!“
