I had a girlfriend that went to the University of Delaware several years ago. She introduced me to Capriotti sandwich shop, But I hadn't had it in a number of years. I was local due to work, and saw the shop right next-door. I ordered the hot bobby special, which is Thanksgiving dinner on a roll. The sandwich is banging. It was just like I remembered from several years ago. I haven't had anything there other than the hot Bobby, however I'm sure it's excellent. I highly recommend. read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - Hot Bobby - Sandwiches Near Me - Hockessin, Delaware

This once family owned, local neighborhood sub shop has lost its original goodness. Most of their staff (my local shop) are not friendly, never a smile, they display a: "Your bothering me" attitude virtually all the time. Their food, leaves a lot to be desired. Steak sandwich are full of fatty grissle. Gee, could their _ hitty attitude & poor management be the root of their demise? I'd find somewhere else for a good sub, steak or any sandwich. read more

Service and quality of the food was excellent . Easy to get to and a good location. I would recommend the venue for others as well

Disappointed the last couple of times I ordered there. Ordered a chesse steak a couple of months ago and the meat was dry and the roll tasted stale. Thought it was just a bad night for them. So I ordered the same again recently and the same thing. Meat was dry and overcooked and rolls tasted stale. Not sure if they are under a new owner or manager. But the quality has deteriorated over the past year or two. I understand about inflation so i understand their sandwich sizes went down and the prices went up. But the quality should not go down. My mouth use to water for one of their cheeses steaks but I think I am done with them for now. read more

How does Capriotti's only have three stars?? It's a Delaware staple. I moved away a few years ago and it's still one of my must-haves whenever I come home for a visit. You really can't beat their turkey subs. I popped in today to pick up a few subs and the staff was friendly and quick. We were on our way in under 10 mins (and our order was correct and delicious). I saw some reviews say that this place is overpriced but I don't necessarily agree. The subs are so filling, I almost always have leftovers. I feel like I get my money's worth! In terms of COVID precautions, all staff was wearing masks and there are signs telling customers that masks are required as well. The restrooms are closed and there's no in-house dining at this time. read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - Small turkey sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Hockessin, Delaware

Love their subs but the website is extremely frustrating to get into and to navigate.

I was introduced to The Bobbie in 2007 . We have since had a long distance relationship unfortunately, no Capriotti's in Queens NY. The Bobbie is my favorite sub (hero for New Yorkers ) . I frequently picked up food from this particular Capriotti's when I lived in Landenberg, and always had a great experience. Driving back from Washington DC yesterday , I made a pit stop to grab The Bobbie . Our relationship is still strong despite the distance , Best.Sub.Ever. read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - The Bobbie - Sandwiches Near Me - Hockessin, Delaware

App said it was open until 7pm on Sunday. Yelp says 6pm. I got there at 5:45 and the doors were locked. I suppose store hours are discretionary? I notified the app 'help desk' about the issue with the hours. That still doesn't explain why the doors were locked before 6pm. read more

I wish there were a Capriotti's closer to me so I didn't have to cross state lines for my Slaw Be Jo fix, but it's worth the trip. The secret to a great hoagie is the bread. You want something soft to bite into, but hard enough that it still holds up to all the good fixings stuffed inside. I don't know where Capriotti's gets theirs, but it's *just* right. The Slaw Be Joe is by far my favorite -- roast beef, coleslaw, provolone and Russian dressing. But I'm also sucker for a classic cheesesteak, and in winter, that's exactly the kind of comfort food I'm willing to drive for. I've never had issues at this location with staff or waits, my food has always been good, and I'm satisfied with the amount of food I get for the money. I've heard they recently changed their sizing, so I'll just have to plan another visit to see what that's about. read more

My sandwich tasted good - that's important. But I ran out of sandwich long before the bun was gone. If I buy an 18" sandwich and 3" from each end is just bun, shouldn't it just be called a 12" sandwich with "extra bun"? If you can't fill an 18" bun, don't sell an 18" sandwich. The worst part is that the middle of the sandwich still only had half the amount of meat it used to. Whatever cost is trying to be cut here won't help when people stop coming due to only getting half of what they expect. Been going to this location since it opened in the mid-90s and have never been more disappointed - or still hungry. Come on, guys. Pull this together please. read more

No meat on my salad! For the second time now I've ordered a BBQ turkey salad and they left out the meat. Why am I paying $8.50 for lettuce and tomatoes??? I figured the first time it happened it was just a mistake. Now that it's happened again I'm done with them. I'll be going to Casapullas from now on. read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - BBQ turkey salad without the meat! :( - Sandwiches Near Me - Hockessin, Delaware

Good hoagies. Wish they were open later but I always enjoy a sandwich from Capriottis!

The sandwiches are decent enough. I've been here a few times over the last year and they have this one guy working there with tattoos all over his face. My kids call him pumpkin head. He's always high as a kite but I got a chuckle over him. Until recently when I watched him try to sell weed to a couple of teenagers. I don't look down on weed. But my kids are 12 and 10. I listened to him haggle with the price of the weed to 3 kids that looked 16-17 years old. I won't be back. My kids won't be that environment I won't allow it. I should be able to get a sandwich with my kids without worrying that some 25-27 year old loser will be trying to push a drug on them. It's bullshit that someone like that is allowed to work with the public!! My friends and family won't be back. read more

For the THIRD time now, I have specifically asked for NO Mayo because I get sick from it, and even verify with the person taking my order 2x that there will be no Mayo and every single time they put it on there. I understand a mistake here and there but every-time? Unacceptable. At this point, it's more of an inconvenience than anything. Please add a "no" button to your ordering screen as I'm sure I'm not the only one to have had this issue. read more

I don't know why I continue to give Capriotti's my business! Attached are pictures of a Large Bobbi which I paid over $18 for. Literally half (maybe less) filled. I was able to put everything from one half into the other just to prove a point. I've been eating Caps for 25 years since I was stationed in Dover, DE for the Air Force. They subs were so full I could only finish half of a small. Times have changed and the original Capriotti family would be disappointed to know what their legacy has become. Kennett Square, Jennersville, and Hockessin are all so disappointing. Not sure if they're owned by the same person but the dismal quality is all the same. Get it together! Also, they can NEVER get the order correct! read more

See all

I've just eaten here one time, but I was very impressed with the Capastrami sandwich. We were hungry after only coffee for breakfast so we decided to split a large... 20 inches is not so big right? Actually, I think it was closer to 25 inches (l wish I had a yardstick with me). We soldiered on and finished it, but honestly, the large is probably good for 3 or 4 people. It would have been a 5 star experience, but we were both put off by the cashier who was eating in the prep area (which does not seem like a best practice), and seemed pained to come to the front and answer a question. read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - The Large Capastrami... - Sandwiches Near Me - Hockessin, Delaware

There wasn't an option for less than 1 star so I had to lie and award the one. Worst cheesesteak ever. Capriotti's used to have awesome cheesesteaks. The role was barely bigger than a hotdog roll and what they were calling medium would've been a small anywhere else. The meat was like cardboard and there was barely any cheese. Absolute trash. Do not ever get a cheesesteak here read more

It's rare you find a really good cheesesteak if it isn't directly in Philly but this is one of my favorites for sure. The wagyu cheesesteak is probably one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. The bread is soft, the meat is very fresh and the mushrooms add an extra layer of delicious to it! Definitely will be back read more

We've been to this lunch spot twice in the last week and it's worth a third visit. The first time I ordered 'The Hot Bobbie" in a large size. My husband and I split it and it we both had some left over for later. It was very tasty! Today I ordered the 1/2 salad 1/2 sub with the chopped salad and Grilled Italian sub. They again were both of sufficient size that I had leftovers. My husband ordered The Classic Italian in a medium size. He liked it but said he'd wished they made their own bread. I'm sure we'll be back to try another sandwich or salad soon! read more

I've been to Capriotti's before. Their cold sandwiches are good. Not great, but good. From a size point of view, you're getting a generous sandwich. It's what's on that sandwich that matters. Last night I ordered both a medium meatball sandwich and a sausage sandwich. They were both generously sized. Both had a tomato sauce that was pedestrian. The sausage was nothing special. But the meatballs were particularly boring. They lacked cheese, oregano, garlic... You name it, the meatballs lacked it, except for salt. And the amount of salt that Capriotti's uses is as generous as the size. You will need water for hours, even if you only eat half a sandwich. Will I go return to Capriotti's? Yes, but only for cold sandwiches. read more

The food is excellent - love the Bobby and chopped salad. The food was ready on time and the staff was professional and friendly. Thanks for serving the community. read more

One of the most overrated places in Delaware. First off it's expensive, everything is overpriced and you can find cheaper and better at so many other places. Even other people I'm with they get these small sandwiches and when they tell me the price it's mind blowing people pay this much for Capriottis. I've gotten chicken cheesesteaks and each time the lettuce has never been on the sandwich and they just put it on the side. Makes 0 sense but its what they've done. Besides that customer service is normal its what is to be expected. Overall dont waste your time, just go somewhere else and get a better quality sub at a more affordable price. Just look at everyone else's review, you should know what to expect if they all have the same concept to the review they posted. read more

Will not be going here for cheesesteaks or subs again. This is unacceptable. Our money was totally wasted. Contained very little cheese and the meat was overcooked and not fresh. read more

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop - We ordered a large cheesesteak yesterday and this is what it looked like. This is unacceptable for the prices they charge. - Sandwiches Near Me - Hockessin, Delaware

No kidding, that is my oldest and dearest childhood friend who wrote a review below me. And we didn't orchestrate this! If you are ANYWHERE near ANY Capriottis (and they have them in Vegas now) - get the Bobbie. It's turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce, and it's something of a Delaware legend. My husband is a total foodie, and he starts talking about the Bobbie on the plane before we arrive, every single time. It's that good. If you are a vegetarian, get excited: they have a vegetarian Bobbie that I ate about once a week as a teenager. Their other subs are good too, probably really good, but I only ever get the Bobbie, so I cannot comment on those. read more

Mihir and Sean set me up good. 10/10 will be back again. The food was amazing and the quality was out of this world.

I'm done going to this dump. We get 3 or 4 sandwiches every time. They haven't gotten the entire order correct since Morgan owned it. This time I go in and watch some girl pick up the garbage off the floor, throw it in the trash and start making a sub without changing her gloves. I told the cashier and he said" its ok, its not yours". Its somebodys. read more

While this is technically a chain, it's still a local business to the Wilmington area, and a delicious one at that. I have been coming for years, and whenever I come back to the area to visit the parents, I always stop by. The Bobbi is a amazing and so is the Capastrami. Those are favorites. But if you're looking for something basic the Turkey as well as the Ham and Cheese are still just as edible. And I mean that in the sense that I am NOT sharing. The service can be somewhat timid sometimes, but always friendly and helpful. Love this place. They also have vegetarian options and outdoor seating. read more

Horrible Service - Waste of time to call in order. We called well over 30 minutes before arriving to pick up our order. They hadn't even started preparing our sandwiches. Had to wait almost 15 minutes and then the order wasn't even right. This is not the first time this has happened, but it will be the last. There are plenty of other sandwich shops who value their customers' time. read more

So happy to have them back in Lantana Square! The new management seems to have turned things around here. Service is fast and friendly and they now accept credit & debit cards. Online ordering was awesome, easy and fast. read more

They're food is really great and well prepared but everyone who works here is really ignorant.

The roasted in house roast beef has been replaced with a deli roast beef. They say it's great because its wagyu... not a fan. it's still just a deli roast beef sliced thin. Ordered the Black and Bleu salad and said no tomatoes but when i opened the salad.. there were tomatoes. Since its made with the deli roast beef now.. i will not order it again. Friendly service but the salad wasn't made properly. read more

You don't receive much for what you spend. Won't go back. Ordered 3 sandwiches, every one was dissatisfied with the size of the portions, one with the sandwich itself. read more

Never again this place needs to close the sandwiches were horrible the Bobbie which we like was so bad the roast beef was so dry it was like it was there for days and ham was bad I spend 28.00 fir crap never again to bad it use to be a nice place if it has knew owner they better wake up the good and service was horrible read more

I like a good sub and Capriottis can deliver at this or other locations My issue was the manager is unable to take orders by phone or on line. Go to another location or brand unless you have unlimited time. It is painful to get your food here read more

Hands down the best sandwiches I ever ate. I had a crucial addiction this place when I lived in Delaware. Fresh bread. Real, shredded turkey breast -- not processed deli meat. Well-constructed subs with quality ingredients. read more

What happened to this sandwich chain?? I've been eating Capriotti's for 20 years- started when I was in the military in Dover. I couldn't finish a medium sub, made it into two meals. I ordered two medium subs today and it was a joke! They've now further downsized their medium subs from 12" to 10". The size of a wawa classic hoagie Which you can get for 5.99. I'm sorely disappointed in what this chain has become..but, hey, anything to save money and lose customers, right?! Ruined by the branch in Kennett Square, now Hockessin? I'll stick with Primos or support local smaller shops from now on. Sad. read more

the Bobbie is great. a lot of other food places have their own version of the after Thanksgiving hoagie but Cap's tops it. the bread is what always makes a sandwich to me and again Cap's is right on point. service definitely lacks but in a world where I really don't have to deal with incompetent folks and can use the internet to place the order, that don't bother me much. always a go to when I'm visiting from Western PA. read more

Used to love their cheesesteak- but not so much lately. We ordered a cheesesteak with Provolone, Ketchup, and fried onions, and brought home a dried out thing with no provolone, no ketchup, and no onions. Must have been sitting there for at least an hour or so waiting for anyone to order a takeout steak to take home. Disgusting and disappointed. read more

I grew up in Delaware but now live in California, and every time I'm home this is a MUST-DO trip. If you haven't been, you must be insane. GO. RIGHT. NOW. Order The Bobbie. You will pass out from the experience. It's life-changing. I'm not kidding. read more
