What an absolute gem!!💎 So happy we gave this place a shot. The food was spectacular! The menu is full of great sounding options, it’s hard to pick, that just means we will be coming back several times.
I had the Cuban Sandwich (lite cheese,mustard,mayo), and it may be the best Cuban I’ve ever had. Every ingredient was exactly what I expect and the bread almost stole the show.
My wife has the pesto pasta, they kicked it up a bit with a little lemon (or something) in it. Again, definitely one of the better pesto recipes I’ve had and the pasta was 🤌!!
We also got the garden salad, presented really nice and the little things they add to the tomatoes really stand out. Garlic bread was delicious as well.

Food was top tier, but so was the service. There were two servers, the girl that waited on us was extremely kind and attentive, checked on us often. I watched the other staff and everyone hustled and had great attitudes.

I am so thankful to have a place like this in town and highly recommend you try it!!

Oh, one small thing, more vegetarian options would be nice. Wife wanted the Alfredo but they maybe use chicken stock? I’m good with that, it’s probably delicious, but she can’t eat it.

Hubby sent me down from Chesapeake to house hunt and as bestie & I roamed all downeast we found hunger pains setting in. A quick search and we found, and almost passed, Big Belly. Bestie was like, where is it? I said that little building with all the cars! Luckily, we wandered in right before Saturday rush and found a 4 top table (be forewarned, it's small in there so get in early!) and settled in to scour the menu as Juan brought us drinks. I don't normally order steak sandwiches dining out but theirs looked and sounded delectable, so that is what I ordered. And I was NOT disappointed. The steak was thinly sliced, marinated in something so unlike any other steak sandwich I'd ever have. The white sauce was the perfect topper and the French bread was the perfect vessel. Because my steak sandwich with white sauce was so awesome, I ordered a Bucatini with bolognese and meatballs to go. I was staying a few days in a hotel and let me tell you, I thought the steak was great, the Bucatini was even better!! Let me tell you, the food was so great here I told hubby we would have to buy in Washington just to be able to dine here whenever we wanted! That visit was almost a month ago and I have been dreaming of my next visit! Our home closes here on Sept 2nd and fairly soon after that, I'll find myself back here for more of everything!

Ps, Juan was a superb server. They're lucky to have him.

We had the cheesesteak (French style) and the crab bisque. Both were very flavorful and delicious. The service and food were a perfect 10. I can’t wait to go back and try some of their other dishes!

The best sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Different side dishes would welcomed - chips are fine but pasta salad would have been yummy!

I just had the best lunch at Big Belly Deli in Washington, NC, and I had to share!

The French Philly Dip was out of this world, loaded with juicy sirloin steak, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, and grilled mushrooms, all piled on delicious French bread with a side of au jus. The portion was huge, so I split it with my wife, and we both loved every bite. The kettle chips on the side were a perfect touch too!

This place used to be a food trailer, but now it’s in a cozy building, and the family-owned vibe still shines through with their awesome gourmet sandwiches. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby, takeout was a breeze!

This place never disappoints. The food is well executed, delicious and consistently fresh. They are accommodating of your requests and offer excellent customer service. Highly recommend their shrimp steamroller sandwich. Word is out how great this place is, so be a little patient with service or call your order in for pick up. Awesome local restaurant.

Excellent experience last night at the Big Belly Deli deli. Blue crab cheese dip appy was excellent. Chicken Parm was hands down the best parm I've had in the area since moving down this way. Service by the young servers was attentive and pleasant. Would definitely recommend checking out!
