One of the most difficult thing to navigate in the MetroWest is all of the places that make 500 different items on the menu and don't specialize. I recently visited this restaurant to get a bacon egg and cheese on a roll, I had just missed breakfast and decided I would try the meatball sub, with provolone and Parmesan flakes beautifully spread over the top, The owner of this place takes pride in everything single move. When the sandwich came out, I was ready to pay, they said no sit enjoy and pay afterwards. The meatballs were piping hot, huge, smelled amazing,and so delicious. I also followed up with a repeat visit during breakfast hours to get that bacon egg and cheese, if you were looking for the definitive bacon egg and cheese in MetroWest, this is the place. This has a very friendly atmosphere, terrific service, and I look forward to trying their specialized small menu. read more

Culinary Delights - Sandwiches Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place a few months ago. I was hankering for a hot dog on and came upon Culinary Delights. The name is accurate indeed. I stopped in, picked up two dogs, one chili cheese and one plain. I was so happy! I don't know anywhere else from Natick to Boston that serves hot dogs for pick up other than Casey's so to find a specialty place like this changed my world. The dogs were fantastic and the service was friendly and efficient. I could tell they take pride in what they do and have a knack for being warm and pleasant without having to try. It was a delight to eat here and it will not be long until I am back!! read more

Still here! Still dishing out Italian beef and Chicago dogs along with a bunch of awesome Polish food. Every time the hubby and I are in Natick we try to come here for lunch. Usually an Italian beef. So delicious. Since the husband is Polish we also pick up some stuffed cabbages- get them before they sell out for the day. So good. I'm angling to get a whole kielbasa to take home the next time as the German in me says Hillshire Farm is NOT a kielbasa people! Anyways, you won't be disappointed if you stop here. Alex is great to chat with and very personable. read more

Such a hidden gem as the food is fantastic. I've had their hot dogs, which are amazing and the closest dogs I've had in Massachusetts to those in Chicago. I've also had their chicken kebab plate which comes with rice and salad -- truly the juiciest kebabs I've ever had and the salad was amazing. I can't wait to return! read more

Definitely open. Great! I wish Yelp would remove the listing as closed. This tasty family business is being hurt by the false closure information. The Italian Beef is what calls me. Just like Chicago. The hot giardiniera is truly hot. You may want to to try the mild first or ask for a sample of the hot. They'll pack one extra for dinner too. The Chicago dog has authenticity too. Hard to find sport peppers and the traditional bun out here in the east coast. Enjoy.... read more

The triple decker breakfast sandwiches are a total game changer. If you're considering stopping here, quit your indecisiveness and GO read more

Culinary Delights - Game changer - Sandwiches Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

This is probably my favorite spot since I've moved to Natick! It's a little place next to the local laundromat. For lunch they have hot dogs and kabobs dishes. Today they had a sweet cheese cake for dessert that was served with a dollop of sour cream and so good!! They have sodas imported from Russia. The Cherry and pear ones are my favorite. (They also have Coke products for those that want more standard beverages but why not live a little) Breakfast here is great. Best Bacon, Egg and cheese! The staff is friendly and prompt. Check it out, you'll be glad you did! read more

A taste of Chicago. Delicious. Hot dogs (Vienna beef), roast beef. Awesome. Got some golumbki for later. Omg. I'm in heaven.

Love this place! Russian, Polish and other European delights as well as all the typical American sandwiches. Egg sandwiches made fresh . Old world European pride is evident. read more

I finally decided to try this place out . It's located right by my favorite Thai place and I am super glad I did . Ordered a Chicago dog and Italian combo sandwich for take out and it was delicious . It had a good wholesome feel to it when I walked in the place . The owners were talking to the regulars and it looked like they sold European candies and meats as well. Not your typical deli sandwich I had some with peppers and it had just the right spice to it . The meat had a good taste to it too. We will be back here again but this time to try their breakfast menu. The guy behind the counter even unwrapped my sandwich and put additional peppers in it right before I left . It's those little things that go a long way. read more

THIS PLACE IS OPEN! (Yes, many of you know this, but to those few who think it closed a while back (Spalla's), IT IS OPEN. Former business manager dispute.). The two highlights of the menu are the Hot Italian Beef Sandwich, and the Chicago Dog (hot dog). I've been to Wrigley -- Culinary Delights makes a much better (& more authentic) Chicago Dog. Can't be beat. Neon green relish & all other toppings are textbook. Hot Italian Beef can come with giardiniera -- very authentic and as good as anything you can get in Chicago. read more

Amazing Italian Beef sandwiches and Chicago Dogs. Attention all Chicago transplants and the homesick. Also great hot bar. Wonderfully nice staff read more

Great place to check out! Awesome homemade food--try the schnitzel!!

I absolutely love coming here! When I walk through the door, I always receive a warm welcome from Alex & all members of his staff. Everything from the delicious breakfast sandwiches, panini's,& homemade chicken noodle soup is made with care & fresh ingredients. My son came to visit from Chicago & raved about the Chicago Dog & the Italian Beef Sandwich.Stuffed cabbage is hands down the best I've EVER had (including my own!) Happy Holidays to Alex & his wonderful staff! read more

Really great breakfast sandwiches straight off the griddle! The owners are super sweet and are very proud of their shop. They have plenty of fresh food and some grocery items as well. Give this place a try for breakfast items or lunch! read more

It's different and that's the best reason to go here, you get this European, local, friendly customer service and the food is delicious. Good place to eat for the adventurous, you get the kind of feeling when you used to come home from school and not sure what mom will make for dinner (but your mom is a great cook) so you eat whatever you see. read more

This place seriously never disappoints. Quality homemade food always hot and delicious. My favorite aspect of Culinary Delights is the truly delightful customer service I have received every time I have come in. The owner Alex does an amazing job of providing truly delightful food along with a warm welcome. Some of my favorites are the stuffed cabbage, baked Mac & cheese, ALL of the paninis, and the Chicago dog! read more

Awesome little man food joint that the ladies will love too...well maybe not the strawberry-in-your-glass endive and butter lettuce salad type ladies but you know. The owner is great, really cares about his food and customers. I had the italian beef, legit Chicago style grub delicious. My buddies had Chicago dogs and said they were the best they could imagine getting without hopping a plane to Midway. read more

This was a random Yelp find from the highway. Be warned - the address provided will take you next to Culinary Delights, not to the actual location. We had to circle the block a few time before we found it hidden on a side street next to the gas station. I ordered the caprese sandwich with a side of pickles and found it very delicious. The caprese sandwich had chicken that was ver flavorful and came on a crusty french loaf. I also enjoyed the homemade pickles I had on the side. The only reason I'm not rating it higher is because while my sandwich was delicious I found the options limited and the place as a whole felt a little run down. read more

The service here was great! The owner is extremely personable. Being a Chicago native I desperately searched the greater Boston area for things that reminded me of home. The Italian beef is perfect! I will be back! read more

Culinary Delights - Italian Beef - Sandwiches Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

This place is freaking good. The man who owns it is also the most adorable human. The food is clearly prepared with love and know how, the ingredients are good quality. Some of the very best breakfast food I've had. You should definitely eat here, I've never left a review before, but this place deserves 5 stars. read more

If you are hungry for some Eastern European food (or a delicious Chicago Dog/Chicago Beef Sandwhich), made from scratch, you need to go see Chef Alex. Not only does he put out a great product, he is a wonderful guy to talk to as well. Dinner for the family cost $20 and there were leftovers for the next day! Definitely check it out if you are in Natick and want something different than the normal mass produced food available in that area. read more

Highly disappointed. Drove over an hour to prove to someone how good the food is and that it is worth the drive. Only to find out my point could not be proven because they lock the doors earlier than they state they are open until. I left this place disappointed, extremely hungry, and cranky. How I wish I could give them a 5 star but my gut is feeling empty and unsatisfied. Leaves me with no choice but give a 1 star. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! I never knew it existed until my navigation brought be off the beaten path on my way to work one morning. I told my self I would check them out sometime! I looked up their menu online and decided to get the Italian Beef and Sausage Combo Sub. SO, SO, SO Good! I noticed they did breakfast sandwiches as well. And I have been faithfully stopping at least once a week for bfast sammiches! Their Chicago Hot Dogs are also ExAlex and his wife are really wonderful people. Prices are more than reasonable. They are adding BBQ to their menu very soon. They already have the smoker to start smoking meats. CAN'T WAIT! read more

The only spot around you can get chicago style hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. And they're excellent. They also have giardiniera for purchase. Definitely worth the drive. read more

They have the best Hot Dogs anyway. They use a Chicago Dog that is better then anything in greater Boston area. It has a Chicago style theme with really nice people who are very friendly working here. They have a ton of other speciality food that people seem to like here that I haven't tried yet in addition to European specialty products.. This place is most certainly a hidden gem! read more

See all

The Italian Beef Sandwich with hot peppers and provolone is very good. The folks that own this are passionate about their food and thoroughly explain everything about it. Will be back. read more

The Italian Beef is the closest thing to Chicago Italian Beef we have been able to find in Eastern Massachusetts! The au jus was delicious and the sweet peppers cooked just right! They use the right kind of bread and do a nice job with homemade giardinera. Brought us back to our early days together living in Chicago! Thank you for making my husband feel a little less homesick! Next we will try your Chicago hot dog! read more

I stopped in recently for some of the BBQ. I got some smoked brisket, ribs and pulled pork and am happy to say that is was indeed quite good. Will definitely return for this stuff. read more

Excellent place for high quality food on a budget. Thus is especially true if you like regional (especially Chicago) fast food options.Nice owner and staff too. read more

Amazing family owned shop with great food!! The chili, hot dogs, and Mac and cheese are my personal favorites! And for breakfast the bacon egg and cheese on Portuguese toast! Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone! read more

Just picked up a chicken kabob plate and there was absurd amount of hair in the rice. The chicken was also microwaved in the container with a plastic cup of sauce. The plastic cup partially melted. This place has gone wayyyyyy down since Spalla's moved out read more

As someone who is from Chicago, I came in the other day after searching for a place online that sold chi-town eats. This place had arguably some of the best Italian beef I've had, and that's comparing it to the top places in Chicago. Their Chicago style hot dog was amazing as well. I recommend this place to anyone, and will be back again and Again. read more

What an amazing find! I was craving a good breakfast sandwich and really didn't want Dunkin Donuts, Einsteins, or a Brueggers type of sandwich. As usual, yelp did not disappoint. Located in the corner of a little shopping center next to a laundromat, this gem had an amazing sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich (on Texas toast). We also had the breakfast burrito and the Chef will customize anything for you , so we had the chef make a blueberry pancake and an egg for my son. It was so great that we all pretty much licked our plates clean. read more

New England is not really a hot spot for Chicago -style Italian beef sandwiches so finding small deli in a strip mall in Natick that makes a decent one is surprising. I'm not from Chicago so I can't speak to the authenticity, but this is still an objectively good sandwich. Plenty of meat and giardinera served on a sub roll that is sturdy enough to soak up the juices without dissolving. Close to the Natick mall and far better than the dining options there. read more

Got the various sandwiches with meat and some of their Eastern European trays and beverages. Nice place , people and a great value. Bonus pick up was real British Tea! read more

In the process of moving and was looking for a place that makes a real breakfast. Found culinary delights on yelp, and wanted to give it a try. This is my new favorite breakfast place. Ordered the breakfast sandwich with 2 eggs, bacon, and cheese. The owner, Alex, made it right there for me in about 5 minutes. It was fresh, delicious, and affordable. Will definitely come back to try their lunch and dinner menu, and for sure will be back for breakfast again. I felt like I was having breakfast at home. Alex is very kind with amazing customer service. Everything on the menu can be made to order or tweaked if you have any special requests. Highly recommend taking a look at the menu to see all the different creations he can make. read more

Best breakfast sandwich ever! Fresh eggs. Cheese and English. No compare to DD for taste & price You need to try this place!!! Owner super nice! read more

Best Italian beef sub in this area. Get the combo. You won't be disappoited recommend with hots. Mac and cheese really good as well. Worth traveling for read more

I decided to try this place again now that Spallas has left. I had a good experience this time. We both had hot dogs with ketchup and onions. The rolls were really great - poppy seeds! The kids meal came with a bag of chips, a soda, and a prepackaged Italian ice. Will try again. read more
