My husband and I split The Woods sandwich with Maui onion chips, and it was exactly what you want from a great lunch spot: perfectly toasted, flavorful, and not overloaded--just the right balance of meat and cheese. Our server (brown ponytail, floral sleeve tattoo) was fantastic--super friendly and thoughtful enough to split our sandwich onto two separate trays without us asking. Those little touches make a big difference. We grabbed pastries to go and had them later with coffee at home... just as delicious as lunch. The place was hopping (always a good sign), service was smooth, and even the bathrooms were spotless. Safe to say this won't be a once-a-decade visit anymore!

They're mopping and cleaning the grill and counting money. You can call in an order at 1:20, but you'd better be on time to get it, pay for it and leave. They don't play about the time.

Bottom line: Pirate's Deli was a delicious stop for getting tailgating sandwiches pre ECU football…read moregame. The NY Yankee Chicken Cutlet Sandwich hit the spot for me. Food takes some time as each are made to order but worth it. Nice and helpful staff at the counter. The Deets: I had the chance recently to go tailgating before an ECU football game, and my friends that regularly do so recommended Pirate's Deli so we stopped on our way to the game. This deli is fairly good sized with a extended menu of offerings on a board around two of the walls near the ordering counter/pickup area. The staff was nice and helpful when ordering. I looked over all the great and plentiful choices, finding the NY Yankee Chicken Cutlet Sandwich (breaded chicken, bacon, melted Swiss, lettuce/tomato, with honey mustard) which looked just right for me. Orders do take a while to come up as each are made to order and there were a few people ahead of us already getting their game day selections. Our orders were out soon enough and we were off to tailgate. The sandwich was very good...just messy enough to be interesting but not chaos to eat and the components came together for a great tasting combination (see pic). I was pretty satisfied with this sandwich and would definitely get this one again. Everyone one else felt the same about their food selections as well. In all, a good stop into Pirate's Deli to secure some tailgating eats before the game.

You could easily read the menu and the staff was kind. I loved the colors and the space was clean which is always a plus. We ordered multiple bagels including a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese and bagels with Bacon Scallion Cream Cheese. It was out of this world. I was almost home and decided I wanted to go back and get more!

We enjoyed our stop at sunrise bagel during our visit to Topsail. We came in on a Monday morning,…read moreit was still packed at around 9:30am. The service was great and the workers nice. For the bagels, we got the bacon egg and cheese, and my partner got the Shoreline on the bacon blast bagel. The Shoreline was delicious, the cream cheese added great flavor to the sandwich. The bacon blast bagel was tasty as well. Unfortunately the bacon egg and cheese (the Highrise) could have been better. The filling to bacon ratio wasn't great, the egg was small and the bacon didn't stand out in flavor. I wish they added more as I had multiple bites of just bagel. Overall though, the shoreline was great. I'd come back to try their other options!
