18 Best Delis near Sterling

“Like many others, I stumbled upon this place while waiting for my vehicle to be complete at SafeLite. My experience was review worthy. Enjoyed a late afternoon club sandwich, very neatly and freshly prepared. Staff were attentive and most polite. Menu and beverage options delightful. Most noteworthy, however, was the cleanliness. While I dined, the staff were working to clean the deli prior to closing on a Saturday afternoon. Tables, floors, deli counters, ordering area, condiments, etc were all exceptionally tidy, clean, organized, and simply outstanding. That type of care translates to a welcoming and memorable hidden deli gem that locals should continue to patronize as they have already for so many years.“

“The steak subs we got today were the best we've had from here in years. Reminded us of how they used to be and why we started eating here.“

“Omg! What a treasure this place is if you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine. I picked up a whole Tiramisu imported from Milan (frozen) to share with my BOOKCLUB ladies after reading Tartufo. It was not cheep, but oh So worth it!! I’ll be back. The owners are very helpful and sincerely charming. I felt like I was in the old country :)“

“Took my boys there for the first time today and everything was absolutely delicious - two Deniros and a meatball & cheese sub. I highly recommend it. This is certainly a place we will frequent.“

“Super nice owners. Delicious food.“

“This is probably the best deli in the area and definitely the best one in Herndon. I don't have any pictures because my wife and I devoured our sandwiches.

I highly recommend the Mad Italian and the Mafioso. The meat and cheese portions are generous. Service was fast and welcoming. The interior decor feels like a bodega and has a cute charm to it.

A 12 inch is about 16 bucks but realistically you can make 2-3 meals out of it. There is a $1 fee to pay with a card so bring some cash.

I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the sandwiches.“

“Great sandwiches, amazing service“

“This place is awesome! So glad we discovered it. We had some business to do nearby, so for two days straight we came here for lunch. My family loved it. There is a family that is fast, friendly, professional, kind, and overall great running this place. Since I live in Herndon, I’ll be back to this restaurant more. Thank you sincerely for the great food and service. We recommend the daily specials, the steak and cheese, the fries, onion rings, salmon poke, and K-BBQ.“

“We have a lunch date every other Tuesday when our house cleaners come. We hadn't been here, and saw it had good ratings. It's a modest establishment, dated but clean. I had a Reuben, and my wife had chicken salad on a sub roll with lettuce and onion. Most patrons seemed happy and familiar, likely coming from the surrounding offices. The owners welcomed and checked on us, a nice touch. My sandwich was larger than expected, and hers was too. She would've liked a little salt and tarragon, but didn't ask for either. No complaints.“

“Great food at a great price. 👍“

“This place is great!! I’ve ordered pickup and delivery multiple times and the food is always great no matter what I order. The food is always fresh and always hot if need be. Not to mention the staff is kind and are super efficient. Every time I walk in for pickup my order is already done and I walk out within two minutes. I seriously recommend this place to anyone. Some of the best food you can get if you live in Dulles Station.“

“It was very good food the sandwich were fresh and the bread was oven toasted so good and there fires were good“

“Honey baked ham is a secret gem. People forget they serve everything from full meals to amazing sandwiches. And they offer order online and pick up in store. So you can be in out and quick. This location was really quick and super clean. If you are looking for a side dish and cant decide. Try the Mac and cheese it is really good.“

“4/5!Great spot for breakfast and lunch! After one of my favorite deli's closed down, I had to look for a new one. Found out about Checkers Deli and Cafe through Yelp and I'm glad I did!The Food: For lunch, I went with a classic cheesesteak and fries. The cheesesteak was delicious! The meat was quality and the cheese paired with it was delicious. The portions are great as well, it won't leave you hungry tat's for sure. The Their food options are very well priced out as well.The Service: Staff were very friendly. They had our orders out fairly quickly even with a lunch rush. No complaints.Overall, a 4/5! A great spot if you're looking for a good breakfast or lunch meal. I'll be back again, that's for sure!“

“Cook/owner went out of way to make us 2 Korean bulgogi beef plates w/salad on the side that wasn't on today's menu. Beef was delicious but it was more "hamburger" than steak. This cafe was a bit hard to get into as it was located inside a multi-tenant building with front doors locked, and the guard simply ignore us, so we followed someone in. I'd like to try other items on the menu.“

“Love this place so much! I love their special of the day usually, although their steak and cheese is amazing any day of the week. They also have a spicy chicken sandwich which is super. Staff are always kind and they offer discount to Loudoun county government employees!“

“Santini’s staff knows how to make a great Lamb Gyro, NY Subs, Meatballs Subs and their signature boardwalk fries. A small wood bar with HDTV tuned to soccer, baseball, or football depending on the time of year.“

“Been a loyal Sam's costumer for 3 years. Breakfast sandwiches and omelets are excellent. They offer a variety of lunch options hot and cold; Monterey Chicken Wrap, West Coast Turkey sandwich, and Club sandwiches are highlights. Boxed lunches are substantial, fresh made on sight, and reasonably priced especially in Chantilly. I've ordered up to 40 with 2-3 days notice and they had them ready to go at 10:00 the day of our event. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Dine in area is bright, clean, and comfortable with plenty of seating. I prefer smaller privately owned food shops over chain restaurants, that and the friendly hardworking staff make SAM's Deli a gem in my eyes.“
