Friendly, local, fresh and authentic with many options and quick service! The cheesecake was amazing. I would have loved to try other options but I was just passing through for the day. Would recommend for anyone visiting this area. read more

Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Bread is excellent and ingredients are fresh. Even when they are busy, it never takes long to get your food. read more

I love this place, however, they are always closed and never open. I don't know how they stay in business when you can never catch them open. read more

Breakfast sandwiches are AMAZING. The Sadie and Scottie are great. The staff is also very friendly. Located in a beautiful area of Smithfield. read more

Gotham's Deli - Sadie Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Smithfield, North Carolina

Decorations are really cool, they were very accommodating with me just wanting a bagel.

Want a great Reuben and anywhere near Smithfield, NC, you're stopping at Gotham's Deli. Clearly from NYC, a lot of sports memorabilia on the wall. I'm from New England, but won't hold all the Bills, Yankees, Mets and Knicks stuff against them -- they do have a Doug Flutie poster though! Again, one of my favorite places, been here about four times now, and make a point of stopping when in the area. Met Steve, very personable! Great food and value! Go Sox!!! read more

Very busy when I was there everyone was nice but I couldn't relax that wasn't their fault. Food was delicious and great location

Stopped here while traveling from VA to SC. So glad we did. We made it in close to closing on a Saturday. They had enough homemade meatballs left for a 1/2 sandwich- which was still large. Husband really liked it. I had the BLT with avocado. Great sandwich. If you want a good lunch served by friendly kids please bypass the outlet mall chains and head here. read more

Best sub I've ever had. I give this place 5 stars. Way to go. We'll be sure to come back often.

A great slice of New York and the least expected of places. Great sandwiches and great service!

Can never get a order placed. Because no one to deliver. I love their food. But can't get it delivered.

Run don't walk! The food is amazing!! Got the King City and it was bomb!! Super fresh ingredients with great flavor. Plus the staff is super friendly and helpful! Can't recommend enough! Only wish we would've tried this place when we moved here 3 years ago! But we'll be back regularly! Support local. read more

The Heart of Smithfield. They know what a great sandwich is. They know how to deliver. This mom and pop feel with an outstanding menu to boot. Love them. Great lunch box deals. read more

Gotham's is our favorite go to for a quick lunch. Their sandwiches are delicious and big, the prices are great and the staff are always so welcoming. read more

Solid sandwich shop. I altered my dish by asking for olives on the turkey sandwich with toasted bread. I also got the broccoli sald...yum!

Subs were amazing and works are funny as ever! We came in it was so nice on the inside

super yummy sandwiches, pretty quick service, and sports themed with bills merch! love

I am not sure what makes this place a NY Deli. First of all it's now known as Gotham Deli; I assume new owners? The décor is the same as prior pics; but pretending you run a NY Deli does not mean you actually serve NY Deli style food. I mean I can put on pads, gear and suit up; but the Bears (or given the location) Panthers are not going to put me on the field come Sunday. My sandwich was low on pastrami and overloaded with slaw and dressing. Then it was served on a HUGE hoagie roll. I had the whole, which was about $8. The sandwich which was noted as being served "hot"; was not, maybe lukewarm at best drenched in cold slaw. Overall an ok place, but overpriced for the min protein on a roll. read more

Gotham's Deli - New name , same location - Delis Near Me - Smithfield, North Carolina

See all

Great people and the food is great. The owner is a great guy. They pretty much know what I want when I walk in.

We stopped here on our way heading to Myrtle Beach and so glad we did. The small town was so nice. The deli atmosphere was that northern deli feel, the service was great, the prices were very reasonable and the food was fantastic. read more

We heard a lot about this and decided to give it a try. Maybe it was an off day. We ordered the Italian and the Tuna subs. It's far from the delis of New York. The meats are low quality and the tuna was fishy and watery. The bread is your standard grocery store hoagie roll nothing great. It has no crispness to it and the flavor is blah. Honestly Publix makes a better sub. Sorry. read more

Enjoy the Gotham Deli and also the fact that the owner seems to favor the Mets over the Spanks which is a good thing. Overall I do not have a favorite sandwich as the selection is good overall and have enjoyed all equally that I have ordered. Granted the Gotham Deli does not service near the size Sammich that one would find in the Boroughs of NY, but your also not paying $20.00 for a F&/)3kn (little NY lingo) sandwich either. Oh, the lunch rush can remind you of NY though, was there once and the line was just about out the door. Enjoy! read more

This is a favorite for my wife & I. We stumbled upon this one day driving home from Raleigh. Some of the best subs you'll ever eat. Their cold pastas are very tasty as well. please note - the restaurant recently changed it's name to Gotham's Deli but still under the same ownership and great taste! read more

Gotham's Deli - Delis Near Me - Smithfield, North Carolina

Cute little deli with extensive sporting paraphernalia in restaurant. Nice menu and very reasonably priced. I ordered the Reuben because I'm one of those ones that always has to try the Reuben! It was pretty good. Slightly too much butter on rye bread making some areas soggy. Overall I would come back if in the area read more

This food is FUCKING amazing ! 10/10 if your a spicy lover you'd love their Joker sandwich is a must try & the Italian Pasta is to die for! The staff were really nice & patient. I wish I could live here read more

Had the Piazza yesterday and it was excellent! The Italian style sub with mushrooms/onions/marinara/mozzarella was not something I would normally order but decided to try something different. It was like ordering a meat lovers pizza on a thick bread and folding it over. I can't wait to go back and try the other great options on their menu. read more

My friend Scott does a great pastrami sub. Gooood! Broccoli salad is as good as mine. Great workers and atmosphere.

Best sandwiches. My dad and I always go here when I'm in town. Easy to eat on site or pick up with curbside parking. I haven't had a sandwich there I didn't like, and I'm pretty picky. My dad always loves the Reuben. Great customer service. They had espresso drinks the first time we visited, wish they'd bring that back! Family Owned establishment, give them some business! read more

Best sandwiches ever! Not your everyday sandwich. They were unique & absolutely delicious! We ordered online & would definitely order again! read more

My husband and I love to try local spots and we agree this was a win!!! I've been stalking their website and menu on and off for months but today we pulled the trigger. The inside is decorated with old school memorabilia and has gorgeous hard wood floors. Service was quick despite the busy lunch hour. We got the veggie sandwich and the Brooklyn. Neither one disappointed! That sub bread is FIRE. read more

A great menu like theirs is a only a promise unless the ingredients are good and the artisans bring them all together. Gotham's delivers: simply wonderful food done well and executed beautifully. When I'm downtown and feel a hunger pang I head straight to Gotham's and I know I'll leave happy and satisfied. Highly recommend! read more

Was in downtown Smithfield for an early morning meeting and driving down Market and saw the open sign lit. Came in and had a great omelet and got to see a lot of NY sports history. Mets, Bills, Jets...etc, really cool place! Scott was super accommodating as well! I'll be here the next time I'm in town! read more

We stopped to spend the night in Smithfield on our road trip up the east coast and went here for dinner because of the good reviews. Wasn't disappointed! There was no one in the restaurant at 5:30 on a Monday though a few people came in for takeout while we ate. My kids got the grilled cheese (delicious). My Reuben was everything a Reuben should be and I had a bite of my husband's NYC (roast beef) which was excellent, too. My teenage daughter loved her Tri-City sandwich. I ordered the half but it seemed like a whole to me. The kids grilled cheeses were also way bigger than my 10 and 5 year olds could eat. The potato salad was decent. I really liked the broccoli and cheese salad which had cubes of cheese in it and a tangy sweet sauce. Guy behind the counter was very friendly! Great experience all around. read more

This little hidden gem is located downtown Smithfield. I have probably driven by it 100 times and never saw it. I was bringing lunch to a doctor's office recently and they really wanted sandwiches from Gandolfo's. The staff sent in their order via fax and told me they would have it ready to pick-up when I arrived. Lunchtime- the place was PACKED!!! Everyone was smiling, chomping on their sandwiches, like they were eating the best sandwich they had ever had!! The place is really small and with the line of folks waiting for food, it gets even smaller but that is always a good sign. Sure enough, the staff had the sandwiches, chips, and drinks bagged, labeled by name, and packed for me to take with ease. I added a sandwich to have myself to taste why this place is so loved. Holy moley, this sandwich was great! I haven't had bread this great since I ate sandwiches in Philly. Since this place is New York Style, I'm not sure if that was offensive or a compliment to them but my point is that it was SO GOOD! The deli meat is fresh and all the veggies were crisp and flavorful! So glad to have found this place! read more

Really like the sandwiches here. The side pasta salads are also great, but they are a bit expensive.

Great food ! Family owned Deli that has always provides good lunch, GO Bills!!! Go Mets

This place serves some of the best hot and cold sandwiches I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and just order a half sandwich here. Try the Reuben, or anything else for that matter. My rule has always been "I don't care how much you charge me, just make sure there is enough meat on the sandwich." Gandolfo's delivers, both on sandwiches and service. The sides are amazing. Their sour cream and dill potato salad is killer, as is their tomato, cucumber, and onion salad. The folks are that make your sub are friendly and quick, and the bread is amazing. It's one of the few places I could eat every day of the week. I'm kind of sad I can't. read more

Driving home we didn't want fast-food so we looked for a place close to the interstate. Being little over 1.5mi from the exit it seemed like the right choice. This NYC style deli is just around the corner of city hall making it easy to find. Filled with NYC paraphernalia and NY sports pics, wood flooring and a deli next to the food counter definitely gave us a feel of the Big Apple. Service: Nice and honest. I asked if the coffee was fresh. Answer by 16y/o working at 6:00pm: "it was made this morning? It's fresh to me...but I don't drink coffee?" I decided on the freshly made latte after she offered that and it was done well....Too funny!!! Food: I picked the Traffic Jam. A 1/4 pound Nathan hot dog sliced down the center with cream cheese stuffed inside. Then wrapped in bacon and topped with sautéed onions, spicy mustard and ketchup. All served in a French bread bun and it was Dang good! My wife had the Carnegie Hall. Turkey, corned beef, Swiss, cole slaw, Russian dressing on rye. It could be ordered with double meat, aka deli style, but being a light eater she opted for the regular. It was pretty good too. Cleanliness: Despite no one being in the place when we walked in the trash can in the restroom needed emptying and the bathroom could've used a wipe down. Otherwise the placed looked good. Overall: Pretty good food shop but not a wow factor. My wife and I agreed on 3.5 stars but where she rounded down I rounded up. II've had quite a few dogs at a variety of places across the US and this one was done well from the basics being the quality dog itself and bread/bun to the toppings. I'm sure if the New Yorkers were working it'd be at least a 4 star sandwich for my wife and I, probably 5...but I have to rate for here and now. 4 Stars and worth diverting from the freeway. read more

I don't get the five star reviews here. To be honest, though, I don't think it's possible for a deli sandwich to be made that I'd rate five stars, so maybe it's just because I'm not a sandwich person. I ate here twice a few months ago while I was stuck at the courthouse for jury selection. Maybe it was the sour mood I had thinking of the possibility of jury duty threatening on the horizon, but I found this to be a very middling affair. My sandwiches tasted exactly like sandwiches, which was neither good nor bad. I'm being generous with the three because I admittedly had a sandwich & chips two days in a row and didn't try any of their soups or more freshly made sides. Perhaps my opinion would improve if I did. Until I return (if I return) Gandolfo's gets a very neutral rating of '3' for serving me a sandwich that tasted like a sandwich. I suppose I got what I asked for, so I can't complain too much. Even still, not wowed. read more

Gandolfo's is in the center of downtown Smithfield. The food and service is REALLY good! It's THE place to go, if you enjoy a New York-style deli. They have real pickles that they will slice for you, if you ask. There are TVs throughout the restaurant and also photos of New York and NY teams on the walls. A down-sized Lady Liberty is part of the decor. You will get NY sized portions too. Ladies, you might consider ordering a 1/2 sandwich instead of a whole. I ordered half and still ended up having to ask for a To Go Box. In addition to sandwiches, Gandolfos also offers some baked goods and some deli side salads. Everything we have tried has been excellent. I have been multiple times now, always at lunch time. I suspect that Gandolfo's could be REALLY busy in the evenings too. Seating is limited. If you go during a regular lunch or dinner time, expect to wait for a seat. There are signs up that indicate that they do catering. I bet they do a super job. I am thinking they'd be a great place to have cater a Super Bowl party or Corporate Lunch Event. Prices are fair for the quality and quantity of food you get! We will stay Gandolfo's customers! read more
