This place is off the beaten path but well worth the trek! They make almost everything in house and you can definitely taste it! Every sandwich can be made into a wrap which is toasted to perfection and seasoned with some sort of amazing deliciousness you won't regret trying. There are specials every day of the week and if you're lucky you just might catch a chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven like we did today! Highly recommend the club as well as the southwest turkey sandwiches. read more

Deli Works - Delis Near Me - Hampstead, North Carolina

We were looking for a breakfast place, saw this online, liked the variety of the menu, and thought we'd give it a try. Odd building--looks like a nursing home--but restaurant is in one area off a central lobby. Order at the counter, self-serve coffee, bottled juice, etc., seat yourself. Food served in a reasonable amount of time, old crooners on the radio (a plus in our book), but anything savory was over-seasoned--we had a breakfast sandwich, grits & an omelet that were on the verge of inedible. They have a seasoning blend that they put on everything, and if it was done with a lighter hand, would probably be fine. It was just SO SALTY. We were told we should've asked for "light seasoning," but we didn't even KNOW there was a seasoning! The French toast casserole with fresh berries, and pancakes were delicious, however. So next time (if there is a next time), we'll stick to sweet breakfast. read more

Do NOT judge Deli Works from the outside! The actual deli is inside a former retirement home, that was converted into a mini mall of small businesses on one wing, and a daycare on the opposite wing. I spoke to the owner Josh, who took his years of experience in the restaurant industry, and opened up this charming little deli in 2020. There are indoor and outdoor dining, and a take out option for breakfast and lunch from 6 am - 3 pm. This is the PERFECT addition to Holly Ridge, that does not have enough eateries for locals and visitors. The food is delish. The interior ambiance is surprisingly delightful. And the customer service is very friendly! read more

Excellent quality for the price. We had salads and wraps. Definitely will be back for breakfast.

I would give 10 stars if i could! My husband and I love this place and always get something new. The owner is great as well. This is our go to spot! read more

Excellent deli spot! We were traveling back roads from OBX to Myrtle Beach looking for a place to eat lunch and stretch our legs a little. This place had good reviews although not your typical looking restaurant (in a re-done nursing home with other businesses). I'm so thankful for Yelp! Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about every item. They are willing to make any combination for you not on the menu. They serve breakfast and lunch all day. I had the grilled veggies on ciabatta. The bread was so fresh and veggies had this amazing flavor. Perfect perfect spot for a lunch break before getting back on the road! Worth going out of the way for! read more

Pulled up closest spots for lunch while in the area on my phone and found this place. The sandwich and soup was so good and the service there was friendly and fast. The amount of food you get for what you pay is crazy! My friend is also celiac (gluten-free) and they were super helpful and understanding and had gluten free options and she loved it. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Awesome breakfast here! I am not a breakfast person and can usually take or leave a breakfast dish but these guys totally nail it. My favorite is the sausage, southwest breakfast bowl. It's under $9 and my wife and I share 1 order. I get it anytime I am in the area. They are in a little office complex and not really visible to traffic but put this place on your radar and you'll be a regular. By the way, the staff is super friendly! read more

Interesting is what comes to mind when I think of my Deli Works visit. The building used to be a nursing home which has now been divided into several small businesses. Great selection of soup and sandwiches. Not the most amazing but still quite delicious. Staff could be slightly friendlier and maybe a little more explanatory with menu items. The seating area is somewhat odd. With a little reconfiguring and redecorating, it could be very quaint. Very clean facility. Food was hot and fresh. read more

My husband gave me the honor of trying his leftover sandwich from here today and all I can say is, if this sandwich was that good cold and a few hours old.. OH MY!! Cannot wait to go get my own! Amazing!! read more

so delicious !! stopped here on a whim as I was passing through town. fast and fresh :)

Great food made with care and quality ingredients. Have eaten here a few times and have been impressed each time. They just added outside seating as well. read more

Great sandwiches and all other items are very tasty also. If you haven't been to Deli Works you are missing out. Great people and service!!

Stopped through heading to Marine Corps Air Station New River and so glad I did. The loaded Italian on ciabatta had an authentic flavor I haven't tasted in a while. It was delicious. My husband ate the southwest omelette and we both split our meals so we could taste everything. The location was interesting because we weren't sure we were in the right place but it was definitely a diamond in rough. Please eat here if you're in the area...you won't regret it. read more

Pleasantly surprised! What a wonderful place to pick up some food before you hit the beach. We are locals, and this is definitely a place we will be going back to. Best lunch in Surf City! read more

Great food! Southwest chicken salad is amazing, so is the chicken sandwich. The location could throw some people off because it doesn't look like a restaurant but it's seriously good! The only drawback is the hours can be inconvenient. I wish they were open a little later because I love their stuff! read more

Love this local deli!! My favorite is the South West Salad with creamy salsa dressing. The marinated onions make it extra tasty! Josh, the owner, is always super friendly while hustling to help his staff! read more

Deli Works - Delis Near Me - Hampstead, North Carolina

Off the beaten path and in a former nursing home but don't let that deter you. My family and I are visiting and we wanted to be able to sit outside and dine. We all enjoyed our lunch. One of my daughters and I had the turkey, bacon & Swiss panini. My husband had the steak, egg and cheese sandwich. My youngest had avocado, Swiss and bacon omelet. All were very good size portions and my husbands sandwich was huge. He brought home half for another daughter. Everything was made to order and piping hot. We will be back! read more

If you're looking for a great place for breakfast or lunch I highly recommend this place. Food is flavorful and delicious! Everything made fresh to order. The portions are substantial for a reasonable price. Love love love. We will be back for sure! read more

I've never seen an old nursing home building repurposed like this. Deli Works is delicious! We hope to move to this area and if we do this is my new go to for breakfast and lunch. Had the reuben and southwest salad, both fresh, plentiful, quick and served with a smile. read more

Holly Ridge's hidden gem! I drive by this place all the time and was ecstatic to find out how amazing this place is - not to mention SO many gluten free options! The staff was super helpful and extremely reassuring that they do their best to avoid cross-contamination. Excited to go back! read more

Don't be fooled by the building, try it! Have been there a few times now. Everything from the sandwiches and grilled veggie omelets to the pulled pork platter is beyond YUM! Owner is very friendly, person at register always gives suggestions. Prices are reasonable. Not very large but there's always plenty of open seating. Last time in my 2 year old was shoveling it in as fast as I could put pieces on his plate. Toddler and adult give it 10 stars! read more

Wow. Best roast beef sandwich I ever had. The owner takes a lot off pride in his menu and food prep. Much is home made. Wish this place was back in Missouri. read more

Great food and great deli selection. Soups and salads also. They have breakfast which is served all day. Very clean restaurant and very friendly owner. Look forward to going back and trying their homemade sides. read more
