Abby's Gourmet is a deli offering breakfast and lunch. It's located in an office building and there's lots of parking. There are seats available to dine in. Staff are friendly. I got the fish sandwich with onion rights and was very pleased with my order. Food took a little while but it was worth it. The fish was seasoned so well and crispy. The onion rings were crunchy and tasty - enhancing my meal. read more

Very pleasantly surprised by Abby's. I visited with a coworker who'd spoken highly of this venue. It's a small, clean space in an office building in an office park I work in. The menu is vast, but mostly limited to sandwiches, burgers, soups and salads. I was unsure what I wanted until I saw a grilled cheese sandwich option. I ordered that plus a chicken pot pie soup. Payment was easy and the food didn't take long to prepare. The only suggestion I have is to inform ppl who order grilled cheese is the default cheese used is American. I hate American cheese and would have been stuck with a sandwich I wouldn't have enjoyed if I'd not asked about cheese and made another selection. The food itself was amazing! I keep thinking about that soup so chances are high I will be back! read more

I am surprised I haven't written a review yet for Abbey's Gourmet Deli. I first eent here last year for lunch and recently two weeks ago for breakfast, I ordered s breakfast sandwich with bacon and coffee. I thought the price was reasonable and the sandwich was enough for me, I got my order quickly and left to go to my office where I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich and coffee. I definitely recommend this place for breakfast or lunch if you are in the area. read more

Nice clean cafe tucked away inside one of the dozens of business buildings on Alexander Bell Drive. Great sandwiches, wonderful soups and nice people! What more can you ask for? read more

Went here again because my go-to lunch spot was closed due to the holiday weekend. I got a spicy Korean pork bowl with vegetables and rice. I also got a Snapple. $19 You can go to a sit-down restaurant for that and leave much more satisfied. I'm not saying that this place serves bad food. They just have mediocre cold service and prices that are absurd. I know it's 2025 and the prices go up, but not this much for this type of service. read more

Food is great and better than fast food. Friendly staff and incredibly quick to make your order.

Pricey! but the food is great. Staff is friendly and location can accommodate larger gatherings.

Amazing food. Creative menu. New soups and specials every day. The staff is very friendly. I've been a frequent customer for over nine years. Highly recommend. read more

Abby's is a Great lunch spot! The entrance is a bit odd as it is tucked into the lobby of an office building but once you figure out where it is the food and experience is totally worth the effort! They staff this place up to get your order done quickly. I definitely got the sense that they are set up to make sure working folks can reliably get their food made to order quickly. There were six people behind the counter all smiling and ready to help. We had three people in our party and all three orders were fresh, delicious, and served lightning fast. I can absolutely tell you the gyro was amazing, my mom loved the chicken Caesar wrap, and my sister's chicken mozzarella panini looked delicious as well. If you're anywhere close, use your navigation app of choice to guide you to Abby's! They are great for fresh food, chips, and any specialty snacks served quickly with a smile! Sorry I didn't get photos! The food was so good I couldn't wait to eat it. read more

I highly recommend this place if you are in the area and need to pick up a quick lunch to go, or want something fast casual. There were a lot of good looking choices on the menu, but I decided on the chicken mozzarella panini and was not disappointed. White it was not the best sandwich I have ever had in my life, it was tasty, hot, good value for the money ($9.99), and ready quickly. I arrived at 1pm after the usual weekday lunch rush and it was ready in 2 minutes. I would definitely come back and try more of their sandwiches. read more

Solidly average. Generous portions but grilled chicken was past prime - had clearly been made day(s) before and refrigerated. Meat quality used in Deli sandwiches was low grade. Stick with fresh cooked items. Nice people though. read more

Fantastic spot right near my workplace! I've stopped in many times before, but recently went in with my coworker after a busy day for a quick lunch and was as usual very impressed. I ordered the Greenwich Turkey sandwich which came with a delicious honey mustard and was so flavorful with the vegetables added. The bun was perfectly soft and I could really taste every aspect of the sandwich. It was delicious! Reasonably priced too, and the employees are all very kind and get everything out to you super quick. You can also pick through a variety of chips and drinks which have always been great as well. I even recommended Abby's to another coworker seeking a lunch spot, and he reported back a rave review. Great food and great prices! I will be back! read more

Standard lunch deli with below average prices and decent offerings. Last time I was there I got a rueben with fries, today I got a bibimbop. Nothing like pickled veggies, spicy sticky rice, bulgogi meat and a runny egg. Food was good, I'll be back. read more

Abby's is an office building deli rather than a stand alone. Which is fine. They do a good breakfast. I opted for a simple bagel with cream cheese and coffee. The bagel was toasted twice (as requested) and the bagel was topped with the right stuff - lox, tomato, onion and capers. Most places forget the capers. Awesome. I did see fresh potatoes on the grill and the place looked and smelled clean. read more

This deli is a hidden gem! I was in the area and determined to not have lunch at a chained restaurant. Fortunately I was able to find Abby's Gourmet thanks to Yelpers but was hesitant since the pictures were very limited. I decided to take a leap of faith anyway and I am glad I did. I ordere d the Monticello which was cornbeef and pastrami. The sandwich was thick, full and very hearty. I was not a fan of the brown mustard but everything else was great. I ordered it with a side of fries and drink. Total cost was definitely reasonable, a big sandwich and side with a drink came out around $11 and some change. Something that wasn't noted in prior reviews was that Abby's also offers a fresh salad bar if that is your thing. I would go back if I'm assigned to the area again. read more

My coworkers and I love going to Abby's. The owners are super friendly and always gets our food ready quickly. The last time we went, we got the Bulgogi Special. It came with lots of Bulgogi (meat), rice & mixed vegetables. Highly recommend if they serve it again. read more

Went on my lunch break, around 1P, didn't call ahead. It was very busy, but a decent crowd. Only 1 person ahead of me in the line. Cashier was friendly. I ordered the Chopped BBQ Ranch Salad, and added Grilled Chicken(up charge). My wait wasn't long at all. The salad is fresh. The chicken is fair. Overall it was good. My only "complaint" is that once I received my salad I saw that there was only 1 dressing. When I asked for another, a young lady said it would be $.75 1. I don't carry cash, let alone change, anymore. And 2. ONE DRESSING?! Overall, it was good and filling. read more

I wanted to get something good for my brother's work nearby and found Abby's on Yelp. It only had 1 review and it seemed like it was just another typical deli. But when I actually went there, it was different. Different in a good way. Upon walking inside the deli, it was packed full of people waiting in line and the tables were occupied. The decor didn't make you feel like it was a deli because it was different. I'm not familiar with the "hip" or "trendy" meanings so I'm just gonna say it's different haha. There was a long line but the line was moving pretty fast. You order at the end then slowly move your way up to the cashier which by that time your food would be ready. They have a small breakfast menu and stop serving it by 11 I believe. That sucks. :( However, they have a fresh salad bar you can get there and they have a pretty extensive menu when it comes to sandwiches and wraps. I got The Monticello which consists of Pastrami and Corned Beef with spicy mustard and cheese on rye bread. It was delicious. The spicy mustard didn't over power the meats and vice versa. Other places would have too little or too much spicy mustard throwing off the balance of flavors. I also got 1776, Tomato & Basil, and a Chicken Cheesesteak sub. I didn't have any of the 1776 or the Tomato & Basil since it was for my brother. But he did say that both sandwiches were outstanding, especially the Tomato & Basil because of it's freshness and flavors. The Chicken Cheesesteak sub looked like your typical sub, but when I took a bite of it, I could tell the flavors were a bit different from your usual. Almost every deli or sandwich shop puts Iceberg Lettuce in their subs but this place puts in Mixed Greens which in my opinion adds extra flavor and textures to the sub. And they give you a generous portion of the mixed greens. Also they actually give you a Chicken Breast, cut up into strips adding extra texture. Very flavorful and delicious. It's Korean owned. I seem to stop by a lot of Korean owned deli's and shops these days. Very friendly staff and even friendlier owner. The place was packed and alive, everybody seemed happy. However I didn't see them selling Teriyaki Bowls nor do they have a reward card. At least in my experience. Maybe I'll ask them the next time I go there which will be soon. There are no cons. Just pros. This is one of my favorite deli's. read more

They charge you extra $$ at the register. Ask for the prices of what you buy and make sure they charge you the price on the menu. If not you will see extra $ when you go to pay. And I'm not talking about the sales tax. You get that too. read more

12 minutes agoNEW Ill give ZERO stars if I could. Don't EAT HERE!!!! They are rude and have zero manners! They like to charge you for food that you didn't order and blame you saying that your a problem! They'll cook undercook eggs and when ask to make sure the eggs are well done, your told your a difficult customer! Sorry I don't want a case of E-Coli or Salmonella. I don't want my scramble eggs sunny side UP!!! They kill you if you give them a chance!!!!! read more

I love going to Abby's! I worked close by the shop and on my lunch breaks I'd walk or drive over to get lunch. On my way in to work I would grab breakfast and I was never dissatisfied. The prices are about average and service is pretty quick even if the lines are long. I love that the staff are friendly for the most part and will hold a conversation with you if your a regular. It's worth a try so stop in and see for yourself. read more

Abby's is on the bottom level of an office building on the backside. Not hard to find and ample parking is available. As it's within walking distance of my office, I frequent them from time to time. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The service is very friendly and meal are typically prepared very quickly, which is nice considering it can become quite busy in there at times. Can't go wrong with the breakfast slider or wrap. Definitely a good bite for the price in the morning. Have had several offerings here from cold sandwiches to paninis and always find them to be tasty. The menu offers a pretty good selection of hot/cold sandwiches, breakfast items, and Korean dishes. They also offer a very nice salad/pasta bar that generally has some very tasty and fresh looking items on it. All in all a good place to eat that won't hurt your pockets too bad. read more

Eh, and this might have been my timing as I walked in at 11AM and they were just getting ramped up for the lunch crowd - ordered the Carnegie (sandwich) and some onion rings. Onion rings were soggy with grease (grease wasn't hot enough, IMO) and tasted of the fish that was probably also cooked in the same oil. So, Blah... The sandwich was ok, but amazingly salty. Really way too salty. All of the folks there were very nice and friendly. Prices were competitive. Short wait time. OK, not a favorite. read more

Had the La Enfant panini and it was delicious. I will definitely be coming back regularly. I visited with two others who also enjoyed their meal. read more

Tried this deli for the 5th (and last) time! While the grilled cheese was good, the chips, soda and candy bar took the price to $15! that's Ridiculous. And when I got back to my desk, the candy bar looks like it was left over from the 1950's. Not edible. Tere is way too much competition to charge too much for sub-par food. No wonder I was the only one in the place. read more

The food is over priced, average taste. Staff is pleasant. Convenience is its best feature.

Abbys is the bomb! I go 3 to 5 times a week for a combination breakfast and lunches. I have now gone through 2 of their "Lucky 7 Punch Cards" (your 7th lunch is free)... Good, wholesome, fresh, real food at a very fair price. Everything on the menu is very customizable, you can add in guacomale, extra eggs, extra meat, etc. etc. for a small fee. My favorite things on the menu SO FAR are: Lunch: Chicken Chipotle Wrap (its huge, like burrito size) Big Chick (very spicy!) Breakfast: 2 Egg Platter... 2 eggs, side of bfast meat, hash browns, AND toast for 4.99!! Western Omelette... I get it with egg whites and i add avacado to it. Also comes with toast Since I go so often... I will now be uploading photos of everything I order (hopefully I remember before I start eating). Now I need to stop daydreaming about this damn place and go back to work. FYI I had breakfast this morning and I will be going again today for lunch. I need to stop slacking on my grocery shopping... read more

And in Conclusion...... Great sandwiches at a great price. All of the staff is friendly every time I go. For cleanliness, speed, taste, cost and service, this place gets 5 stars. I'm dumbfounded by reviewers like Jens Christian B. I don't understand how you can talk about how good a place is as far as food, but then give 3/5 stars. It's clueless reviewers like this who make people decide to go to a chain rather than supporting a local business. It's a deli, so obviously at the peak of lunchtime there will be some other people getting food. Also, most delis don't serve at the table, so if you want to be the only people in the place and to get served, go to a bad restaurant. Otherwise, use common sense in your reviews and rate the place for what it is, not what you wanted to go to. I've been to some of the best restaurants around. If I reviewed every other place based on that, they would all get 1 star. read more

My first time trying Abby's. I'm sad to say their Italian cold cut sub was awful. Terrible meats for the price! They said there was cappicola in the sub... no such meat in sight. Some thick cut mystery meat is what I got instead. It wasn't worth the price. The onion rings were great but based on the sub alone I would not return. read more

We were a group of five persons having a much needed lunch break, and craving a healthy meal. One of the guys proposed this deli, and we tagged along. They offer all sorts of sandwiches and wraps - both cold and hot. We all had different sandwiches, and everybody was content. They weren't cheap with the meat nor condiments - it all balanced well. The sub I had was really tasty and balanced in flavours - jam packed with Italian meat. They had several drinks to choose from - both bottled and fountain. That includes healtier alternatives like bottled ice tea etc. Also a hefty selection of snacks and chocolates was available if a grand sandwich just didn't do it for you. The staff were friendly, but they got a bit aggressive towards the non-decisive in the line, trying to rush things along. Still with a smile on their faces. They don't serve at the table, so we were hanging out near the cashier, waiting for our food, together with several other patrons. Numbers increasing. The sandwiches were ready pretty fast, though, so we didn't overcrowd and die due to lack of oxygen atleast. The meal was decent priced, just as I would expect from a deli. If I would ever go back to Columbia, I sure would pay another visit. read more

Quick, tasty, and reasonably priced. I've been here twice now and am happy to have found this little spot. They have a varied sandwich menu with a pay per pound sides and salad bar and daily specials. So far I've gotten the "Big Chick" and the "Steuben" and both were pretty good. Keep in mind this is a business park eatery that caters to people out to grab a quick bite during their lunch hour. Not everything is made fresh from scratch to order, they prep their food so they can get a quick sandwich out to you in a few minutes. It's not a 4-star eatery. Taken for what it is, an easy, cheap, tasty lunch break, I'd say this place deserves a 4/5. read more

Says they're open til 4 but they turn off grill/fryer shortly after 2. Change your hours then!

It's a convenient, lunchtime work location. They have a variety of sandwiches, a salad bar, and a number of other items. The people that run it and work here are all very friendly. It's not expensive and the food is solid. I'd recommend the teriyaki chicken rice bowl. They have a reward card, buy 6 sandwiches, get the 7th free. The only bummer is that it only applies for sandwiches, not rice bowls, salads, or other similarly priced items. read more

Had a training course nearby with a short lunch. Abby's was very quick on making a hot, fresh, and delicious wrap. Definitely a treasure amongst a field of bland chain restaurants. I recommend the Mango Tango Chicken wrap! read more

Called restaurant for a delivery to work place. A lady answered and was quite unprofessional. When I provided my number and she relayed the number back wrong, I tried to correct her and she cut me off with yeah yeah uhuh. 30 mins into when I ordered, I called back and a male picked up and stated if my number was wrong, the delivery driver would call them and he has not heard anything. So the driver ended up showing up almost an hour after i ordered with my breakfast COLD, cause the lady DID put the wrong number down and the driver stated he had to show up 2 times. I would not recommend this restaurant! read more
