WARNING: THIS IS THE BEST SANDWICH SHOP IN AMERICA! In all seriousness, I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2017. Since then I have lived throughout NC and NY. Baggby's is the best gluten free sandwich I've ever had -- the bun is prepared perfectly and every element of the sandwich is prepared with such care and consideration that every time I come here I leave feeling full of gratitude and joy. The Remarkable sandwich really lives up to its name and pairs perfectly with a crunch of chips. And then there's management -- the staff at Baggby's goes the extra mile. They're kind, super fast, and really care about their customers. Once, months ago, I came up to Baggby's like thirty minutes after they'd closed, and the owners let me in and made me a sandwich anyway. And lastly -- I have a dog who gets hot very easily because of her long hair. Every morning, without fail, Baggby's is the first AND ONLY shop in downtown Charlottesville to have a bowl of ICE WATER for extra hot dogs! This bowl is out there before they even open and my dog starts pulling in their direction every morning. 10/10 for a Charlottesville staple that I hope isn't going anywhere! read more

It has been almost a decade since I have been to this place. I have lots of great memories at this establishment. That being said the sandwich I got was just OKAY. It was nothing special or bad. Just not notable. I may have messed up and should have tried something else. But for the price you pay for a sub here you'd expect just a slightly higher quality. I won't bag (pun intended) on this too much as I believe in this place. If I ever get another chance to have off in the middle of the day to come to this place during its operating hours I would give it another shot. Not rushing to come again though. read more

Wow!! What an awesome place. Stopped by today for lunch after a not so great interaction with another sandwich shop in the area - and I should have just gone here first. Service was absolutely amazing and FAST. My Reuben was customized easily with turkey instead of pastrami, and the owner is SO nice. Free refills on drinks, too! I think she said it's all day long but don't quote me. I felt like I was on the set of Gilmore Girls in Luke's diner. So homey, so genuine & friendly. Customer for life! Thank you!! read more

A group of us chose this restaurant for lunch. We all ordered something different to share. Everyone concluded that the meal and service did not live up to the upscale prices. No matter what sandwich we tried, they were neither tasty or fresh. Lettuce and tomatoes were stale. Service was slow and management did not seem the least bit concerned about customer service. One indication of their idea of customer service is there is only one unkempt bathroom. Rather than returning to this place, dining at Subway would result in a better meal, service and ambience. read more

Very friendly and food quality was good variety of baked goods and breakfast entrees simple and we will be back!

A lunchtime favorite for downtown office workers. Recommendations: roast beef - it's the thick kind! Price: it's expensive, so be prepared. $13ish for a sandwich, chips, and small bonus cookie (doesn't come with drink) Service: can get very busy during lunch. They do bring the food around to the outdoor area and the guy yells, so you don't have to worry about missing your order They've also got a froyo machine with some toppings. Always tasty. read more

This place is such a great spot for a quick and fresh sandwich. I ordered a Turkey sandwich on wheat and it came with tomatoes, lettuce and Mayo. It was yummy and came with a chocolate chip cookie and they had a water fountain inside to grab one if you preferred that over soda. Prices are up there for a sandwich but it's quality and local which I love. They have indoor and outdoor seating too. They bring your order to you outside in a bag if you ask for it to go. read more

Baggby's is the quintessential sandwich shop you always dream about but can't usually find... this family owned shop is a special place. The menu is creative, diverse and definitely has something for everyone. The Navajo chicken sandwich always sells out so grab that early. While the sandwiches are an obvious hit, the soups are unbelievable-- especially the chicken and rice! This shop is a special find filled with character and owned/operated by a terrific local family. Whether you dine in and sit outside to people watch on the downtown market -- or you get a massive to-go order for a big group... you are sure to be delighted! read more

The people are great, the service is fast, and the sandwiches are delicious. Currently loving the Sundown Sandwich!! Highly recommend for a quick lunch or bite to eat. read more

John kills it, best sandwich shop in all of Charlottesville. Stop in every time I come to down.

Placed an online order as soon as they were order. They forgot the cherry coke and one of the brownies.

Absolutely a hidden gem of Charlottesville! The owner works the counter and so nice and attentive to customers! He tries to remember everyone's names and that's a lot of names to remember! The sandwiches are always perfect! The bread is amazing! The little cookie at the end just adds a little love to the experience! If you haven't been, you're missing out! read more

Came here for lunch on a Monday. Pretty busy but able to place an order quickly. The grilled sandwiches take about 10 minutes. The High Noon egg salad sandwich was the best, the cream cheese added a nice smooth texture and the bacon added a nice crunch. The Albuquerque Turkey was nice and warm and the hot and sweet peppers added a good spice. The meatball sub had a good marinara but the meatballs were a little dry and dense. The ambiance was similar to other delis (self serve and seating). Overall would come back but probably try something off the specialty sandwiches menu rather than the grilled sandwiches menu. read more

It's so dangerous for me to find a source of delicious, hot, cheesy-gooey stuffed with grilled vegetables, in a big ole yummy whole wheat roll, Very, very dangerous..... As sandwiches go, it's not a complete dive off the diet cliff, but it's a hefty sandwich and once vegetables get wrapped in a warm blanket of melty cheese and stuffed into a carb bomb, well, you can't pat yourself on the back too hard. The Sedona Vegetarian Sub is quite magical, though. Worth the indulgence. Baggby's Gourmet Sandwiches is a cute little place right on the downtown mall. Reasonably priced, quick service, comfortable eating area and very nice staff. read more

Very friendly service and lots of enticing sandwich options. This is a very casual eat-in or take-away place for lunch. We stopped here for a quick lunch during a day trip to Charlottesville and had mixed feelings about our food. My husband had the Navajo chicken sandwich, which is a best seller for good reason. He really enjoyed his sandwich (chicken, avocado, bacon on sourdough), but I was left underwhelmed. I was prepared to order the Baggby's Prime (like roast beef au jus) when I noticed their new special was a Mediterranean wrap. I changed my order to that because it advertised artichokes, amongst other Med-type goodies. However, my wrap hardly included anything other than lettuce and hummus - I couldn't find a trace of artichokes and the feta cheese was incredibly sparse. Could have easily been a really flavorful and memorable wrap, but it was just a big let down. If I came back next time I was in town, I'd like to try a different sandwich for sure. Free cookie with your order, too, for an added nice touch. read more

Baggby's Gourmet Sandwiches - The Mediterranean at Baggbys - Delis Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Love this place. This place is so cute. I love the charm of the shop. They hang local artist work, that you can purchase. The sandwiches are outstanding. They are an abundance of variety. So even the pickiest eaters can find something. They have vegetarian options as well. Also salad if you are eating low carb. I can honestly say I've not had a bad sandwich from here. Definitely a must try for downtown. read more

Terrific. Amazing sandwiches, great service, friendly environment. Essential sandwich shop

I was strolling through downtown with some friends, looking for a place to eat. We had walked from one end of the mall to the other, trying to find a place to eat at. We had passed some places that looked good, but we just wanted to check out the other options. By the time we got to the other end where Baggby's is, we were so starving and tired, we just decided to eat there for no particular reason, except it was right in front of us. I ordered the Sedona. They described it as a vegetarian philly cheese steak. So I was intrigued. It's definitely no where close to a cheese steak. It was definitely filling though! I also had a taste of the chicken and rice soup. It was pretty hearty and flavorful. You also get a small cookie with your order. Although, if my friends didn't tell me about it, I might have not noticed it, cause it mixes in with the napkin. I don't think there is anything really special about Baggby's. If I were in the area again, I'd probably try a different place. I have no complaints, but it's not a place that stood out to me. read more

I took the advise of others and got the Navajo chicken sandwich. It isn't big. It's actually ALMOST on the smaller side, but boy was it actually the perfect amount. With chips and a free small cookie I was perfectly full for lunch, not hungry and not stuffed. Which I appreciate as I had a long work presentation right after and didn't want to be groggy or hungry. Add a glass bottle Coca Cola and I was in lunch bliss. Check em out! read more

it's not often that i'm moved enough to write a review but i'll be damned if this wasn't the tastiest reuben, possibly tastiest sandwich i've ever eaten. my hubbie gobbled up his cheesesteak too. will be back next time we're in charlottesville. yum. owner was very patient and friendly too. read more

I love Baggby's. There are so many sandwich shops in Charlottesville and not all of them are good. Baggby's has some of the freshest bread and quality meats. Staff is super friendly. I love the club sandwich on rye. 100% recommend them to anyone. read more

I had the Navajo chicken sandwich and bought two drinks. The total was $15 and some change. Sadly, I dont think the food was worth the price. The sandwich was good but the size of it was lacking. It was on regular sandwich bread. There was nothing special about it that made me think I couldnt make its equivalent at home. read more

I stopped at Baggby's Gourmet to buy a sandwich to eat for dinner at my inn tonight... my husband's at a conference and won't be free until later. So what I got was: 1. A dinner-worthy, hand-crafted sandwich that could have fed two people (sliced turkey, crispy bacon, avocado, sprouts, mayo, multi-grain bread). It was yummy! 2. A free cookie -- no calories! 3. Great conversation with the sandwich purveyor. I just finished eating my sandwich, and it was as good as it could be. If I lived in C'ville, I'd be at Baggby's all the time! read more

Not only does Baggby's have delicious sandwiches, they also have an amazing Caesar salad with chicken! When I worked downtown I ate here almost three to four times a week. They were prompt and very friendly! Love the staff as well. Keep up the good work! read more

I've been here a few times now and think it's well on it's way to becoming one of my regular lunch spots. The prices are competitive with most other sandwich shops in the area and the ingredients always taste fresh and delicious. The staff is generally pretty friendly but they all get a bit flustered during the lunch rush, and aren't as patient with first timers or those who need a while to look over the menu before they order. The place is pretty small and it gets packed very quickly around noon, so plan on getting bumped into by other patrons in line or those looking for a free table as you're sitting and trying to eat--or avoid it altogether by eating in the outdoor seating area. If you go and don't know what to order, give the Navajo Chicken sandwich a try--it's by far my favorite. Also look out for the free small cookie, if you don't know it's in the bag with your sandwich it's easy to overlook and throw away. read more

I am from California and every time I go to Charlottesville to visit my parents, I have to go to Baggby's! A super friendly atmosphere and amazing sandwiches. read more

The Navajo is, hands down, the best sandwich I've ever had. Baggby's is quick, clean, delicious, and the staff has always been exceedingly nice to me as well as everyone I've seen them interact with. They have a good selection of chips, sides and beverages, and the little cookie with any sandwich order is a delicious and fun little add-on! The sandwiches are also well-priced and nicely crafted. Have NEVER been anything less than thrilled! For reference, my boyfriend always gets the club or the pueblo and they are both delicious as well! I'll update my review with a Navajo pic soon. People...it's sourdough bread with quality grilled chicken, perfectly crunchy bacon, avocado, a unique herb mayo, AND it's pressed. Literal sandwich perfection. read more

Not sure why these other reviews are bad. Sure, its kinda pricey but the cheesesteak I ordered was one of the best sandwiches I ever had. The chef who brought out our food was kind of rude, but overall the experience was okay. Extra Bonus: sandwich came with a free cookie and a free parking pass for a lot nearby. read more

I did a online order with them it said order a certain amount We deliver for Free well I did next thing I know the lady brings my food /drink I ordered which was supposed to be a fountain drink but instead I got a bottled Pepsi Not what I ordered she said to me if you're not gonna tip we can't deliver here to you anymore but didn't you're add say If I ordered over this amount it's Free delivery they are horrible Won't get anymore business from me read more

My first time here and I loved it! Everyone was super friendly. I ordered the Navajo chicken, which was a grilled sandwich. The owner gave me a heads up that it would take a bit longer because of that, which I appreciated! The wait was nothing I could be mad about in the end, and the food was definitely worth it! All the ingredients just tasted fresh, and they even threw in a mini cookie for free! My favorite part was honestly the sour dough the sandwich came on, it was just so fluffy yet doughy. On top of all that, their lemonade is amazing and if you don't mix it with the iced tea, you're missing out. Will definitely come back! read more

If this place were an all you can eat buffet, I'd eat here from the moment they open til they close every single day

I ordered The Grinder, an Italian sandwich on a sub roll. Italian-style sandwiches are usually made with flavorful meats (e.g., capicola, ham, salami) and provolone cheese. The Baggby's sandwich consisted of bland meats and cheeses and was served on a mediocre roll. A good roll is an essential ingredient for a good sandwich. read more

By far my favorite bagged lunch in Charlottesville. If you need takeout for a group this is the best choice.

One of my go to places on the downtown mall. The Baggby's BLT is my absolute favorite!! Quick service, friendly staff make this one of my go to places. read more

Got the bag lunch special. It was essentially a home-made sandwich (like Wonderbread and lunch meat) with a can of soda and a cookie the size of a chip-ahoy. Needless to say we haven't been back. read more

Sandwich was delicious! Avocado, cream cheese, bacon... Food is a little pricey, but definitely good. And the little cookie they include was a nice treat:-) read more

Wow! I was truly impressed with this place. The customer service was excellent, very clean tables and floors even during lunchtime and my sandwich was delicious, fresh and well put together, that's something I can't say about most sandwich shops around here.

Some of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. It is small but quaint and very charming. Cookies are great and very cheap all things considered. Highly recommend if you are in the Charlottesville area! read more

Great food and staff. Very friendly and the food was great. I had the prime sandwich which was great. Light in the horseradish, bit a great flavor. A little heavy on the onion. My wife had the potato soup and loved it. Once again, heavy on the onion but still good. Cookies were great too. read more
