Passing through Boise we stopped for some lunch. We were able to order fast, but our food took about 25 minutes. It seemed they had a lot of online orders. The shop itself is tiny with a few tables. It was freezing cold in there, colder than outside which was about 60 degrees. The sandwiches though, they were great! I go the turkey bacon and loved the pickled onions on it. The bread was perfect. I also got the potato salad - very unique but equally as good. Lots of dill in it with smoked paprika on top. Others at my table loved their sandwiches as well. I'd give this place a 4.5 because of the things listed above. read more

Woah. Woah. Woah. I live in Denver and I am in town for my brothers wedding- before driving up to Stanley Lake, we stopped in for sandwiches because the reviews were so good. It was crowded but the line moved so fast, and the people working, were efficient and so kind! I love that you can see them making the sandwiches- tells you the food is going to be great. My sister and I had the tuna, and it was maybe the best tuna sandwich I have ever had. The bread, the ingredients- chefs kiss! My nieces had the pulled pork which they said was the best they ever had. My dad ordered the Italian- he usually never orders a sandwich like that and he RAVED about it. Lastly, the huckleberry lemonade - I can't say enough. These people are doing everything right. I loved the cute interior and ambiance. It's definitely a small spot but they work so quickly and keep people moving. I was so impressed. I wish we had one in Denver! read more

Delicious sandwiches and warm, friendly service! My chicken bahm mi with salad was so good! Ate every bite! Hubby tried the Maison Thon tuna sandwich and loved it too. We had bonus tastes of the potato salad and hubby, who doesn't normally eat mayo, devoured it. Thanks to Ethan and adorable Sierra for a great first experience at Don & Charley's! read more

Awesome sandwiches! The Italian deli was piled high with meat and I love that you can get it as a sandwich or salad (or gluten free bun). They have fountain sodas, lemonade, and adult bevs if you want. Easy, casual, order at the counter spot for lunch. read more

This was our lunch spot on our road trip west. I'm adding my great review to the ones already posted. When we entered we were greeted and given instructions on ordering and such. It was super busy and we found the last two stools near the bar which was fun because we got to watch them make the sandwiches. We chose the Italian sandwich and split it. Good choice as it was a rather large portion. So many fresh ingredients and outstanding crusty bread. They warm up the bread and use a blow torch to melt the cheese. The method creates a toasty, warm sandwich but also gives the edges a nice crisp. So good. The meal comes with chip (bag of Lays). Would have loved to have kettle chips as an option. Everything was so good. Staff was super busy but were getting in-house and take-out orders done quickly. Loved the hand painted mural of leaves in the restaurant. So glad we made the detour off the freeway to have lunch here. read more

Great Italian Sandwhich! Loaded with meat and bread, the Italian Deli is a balance of savory yet sweet. Potato salad, get it. Owner is attentive and friendly, was able to order and get my meal in 15 mins even with the lunch rush. A few open seats in the restaurant otherwise you kinda hover in a corner, restroom in the back corner. read more

My husband and I stopped in today for lunch and loved both of our sandwiches (he got the Italian deli and I got the turkey & bacon). Both had plenty of delicious meat and a yummy herb and garlic aioli. By far my favorite part, however, was the ciabatta--soooo good! I chose the potato salad as my side and while it had a good dill flavor, I think I may have gotten a salty batch today. Worth a try though as multiple reviews state it's the best potato salad they've ever had. The shop itself is pretty small with only a handful of seats so it does fill up quickly as it seems to be a popular spot. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Don & Charly’s - Turkey and bacon sandwich with potato salad - Salad Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Found this place on yelp while looking for a sandwich shop in the area. My wife & I decided we were going to split since we've never been here before and honestly, we haven't had great luck with food since moving to the treasure valley. We ordered the Vietnamese sandwich (I'm not going to pretend like I know how to spell it) with potato salad. We went back to the car to eat it before we had to pick up my daughter from BSU. That sandwich was great!! It was so good, we knew we better go back inside and order a sandwich for my daughter. I ended up getting her the pork sandwich. I was able to try that one and it was equally as good! The potato salad was also homemade and was also off the hook! I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu. The sandwich chef was also super nice and took his time to make our sandwiches perfect. read more

Excellent sandwich and potato salad. I had the Chicken Banh Mi, served warm and the bread was excellent. Hit the spot!

Best sandwich I've had in probably 10 years! My husband and I shared the turkey and bacon sandwich and it seems like their bread is made in house fresh, the pickled onions and the seasoning of the bread as well as the melted cheese, etc. was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Seriously, one of the best if not the best sandwich (Turkey And Bacon) I have ever eaten. The side salad was no less amazing. This place may seem to be humble and small in appearance, yet, it is truly one of Boise's hidden culinary gems. I'm glad I found it! read more

Boise, ID Went out of our way so that we could stop at this sandwich shop. It came with such great reviews. Driving from Oregon to Salt Lake took a side trip just for this. DELICIOUS!!!! You must come here. Not many Yelp reviews live up to their stars. This one exceeded it. Walked in and Charly greeted us right away. Pleasant and kind. Asked if we had been in before. Then proceeded to offer us ideas of sandwiches to choose from, going into detail describing the sandwich. Went with the turkey. Lots of meat, pickled onions, honey mustard, pepperonci and more. The best part is the bread. Fantastic! We told them we were going to split one sandwich and they did it for us in the kitchen and gave us both ample amount of chips. Very clean restaurant! Very clean bathrooms! Stopped by Boise State after eating here and told a few employees right away about this place. They are local and had not heard of it but said they were going to put it on their must go to list. I am so impressed with this. I hope my business brings me back through town so I can come again. read more

Very friendly and accommodating staff, cute interior, fresh tasting food. I was pleasantly surprised half the sandwich held up in the fridge for the next day. They were great at explaining the menu, and substitutes. My only issue was that I asked for mustard instead of spread to save some fat and calories, and when I asked what mustard they had, they told me Dijon. I assumed that meant normal Dijon mustard. Instead I got a creamy Dijon spread, that I ended up blotting a ton of. It tasted great and I didn't necessarily tell them I was asking first mustard for macros-related purposes, but I would've liked to know it was just a different thick spread. Overall though, great sandwich, impressed with the experience and I'll be back. read more

Came in at 5:30 pm and the gentleman who made my sandwich was super nice! Didn't feel rushed at all while eating! The sandwich was so amazing!

Great sandwiches and vibe but they have given people multiple people I know food poisoning. Won't be back.

The bread for sandwiches was perfect as was their side salad with dressing. The chicken banh mi was not what I expected though. Definitely not Vietnamese flavor or how they season the meat in authentic servings (maybe because it's not what it should be - pork?) as the chicken had no flavor or that Smokey touch. Could use more jalapeno and mint to kick up some freshness. Excellent service and fun and a small place that is very popular. So, I'm still in search of the best banh mi. . I'm spoiled from having really good Vietnamese banh mi. read more

I'm hesitant to write another positive review on this place because I don't want people to know about it. It's a treasure. Quite possibly my favorite sandwich I've ever had. Expected a fairly long wait because this place is getting popular and every sandwhich is fresh. My wife and I have talked about this sandwich more than we'd like to admit. If you don't believe me, just look at this photo. read more

Incredible, superb, delicious. This place should have at least a thousand 5 star reviews. Wife, daughter and I ate here based on yelp review. What we had and description: Wife: BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Quote - "Culinary masterpiece" Daughter: Turkey and Bacon Sandwich Quote - "Who knew my tastebuds could party like that" Me: Italian Sandwich - "Unbelievably delicious. Truly next level" Sandwiches were made by the owner with great care and detail. He greeted us immediately with a "hello" and a smile when we walked in which made us feel very welcome. Music, people, and vibe was great and blended together wonderfully. The pricing is commensurate with the quality of sandwich. In fact, I would be willing to pay even more because these sandwiches are worth it. Oh, and the potato salad - OMG! Establishment was clean, bathrooms clean, prep area clean. Delicious drink selection (get the crème soda). Everything was perfect! Do yourself a favor, don't look at any other reviews and just go straight here. I promise you won't be dissappinted . read more

I was immediately greeted as I walked in and asked if I needed recommendations or had questions. I asked about how well the sandwiches "travelled" and I was steered towards a few that would hold up as takeout. I got the pork sandwich with mixed greens. The pickled onions on the mixed greens were a nice touch and the lettuce was fresh. The sandwich bread was a crusty/artisan bread type and the sandwich with all the fixings (lettuce, jalapeños, dressing) really complemented the pork. I didn't dine in but there looked to be a few small tables and benches. I will definitely eat here again next time I'm in Boise! read more

Can't get a better sandwich in town. Nice people, they'll take care of you if you ask what's best!

Don and Charly...they are like my Thelma and Louise of Sami adventures. The Joanie and Chachi of my spin off Sami love affair. This joint was a pleasant surprise. Nestled right in between the barber shop and Zen Bentos you can't blink without walking past the door...but you would be wise to tape those eyelids open and get into THIS Sami shop. That bread with all its light luscious air pockets to capture all the balsamic glaze goodness atop those cured Italian cold cuts. It's something special they got here folks. The atmosphere is spot on, very welcoming as well. It's cozy but perfect for what it is and needs to be. The Italian deli sandwich was great, the potato salad was spot on...not overcooked mash, but firm well seasoned greatness of a salad finished with that paprika...bellisimo! This place is fire...get in, order, and eat up Boise. read more

I LOVED THIS PLACE. definitely going again. The service is amazing and the sandwich i got was SO delicious. i got something i didn't know id like but they perfected it. and let me tell you, this food is so fresh. when we got there, they were just out of pork for my boyfriends order and still only took like 10 minutes to give us both of our sandwiches steaming hot and ready to chomp down. the staff are so sweet and really good at communicating. honestly, there isnt THAT many selections on the menu but id rate the italian deli 3 million out of 10 . if you arent sure what to get, try itt!! SOOO GOOD. the store is a little small - so when its busy theres a lot of people standing around and you may not be able to eat inside. its still so cute and spacious in a way. if you're thinking about going here, any amount of money spent at this place is worth it!! read more

Seriously sick sandos! Sick in the sickest of deliciousness ways. Don't walk here, RUN! Wifey is an Italian sando aficionado and she said this was hands down the best one she has ever wrapped her lips around. I inhaled the bahn mi, with pickled onions, the most tender shredded chicken, daikon, jalapeños and the tastiest chili cilantro Vietnamese sauce ever. The menu is small, the restaurant might be even smaller, but these kids know what they are doing and their sandwich slinging skills are off the chain. Don't let the blow torch throw you for a loop, they know how to wield that too. 5 Stars! Oh sh*t, I almost forgot about the dill potato salad...you'll just have to trust me on this one, order it. Double order it. Out of this world tasty. read more

Not even joking the best sandwhich I've ever had. I had the Italian sub, the workers are also amazing

Next level salads! It was a girls day out and we wanted a lunch on the lighter side so we ordered the Bahn Mi and Turkey, bacon, cheddar as salads and they were delicious! We cannot wait to go back with our husbands to try the sandwiches. read more

Amazing! My husband just said this is the best potato salad he has ever had in his life and no he won't share with me! The place is very small, more of a grab and go type meal. When I got the sandwich I was worried it was the tear up the roof of your mouth bread... I bit into a pillow with a crisp outside! I got the Caribbean and my husband the turkey bacon. His bread was so soft as well. The meats are delicious and flavorful. I am already planning what to eat on my next visit. And I really want to try the charcuterie board!

Sorry! Stupid! Ignorant! I'm describing myself after not trying this place after many months of getting my haircut next door. Carribean Pork is amazing and nothing I've had in Boise remotely comes close to the flavors this produces. The potato salad, usually a lack luster side of most establishments, was 10/10 as far as p.
