Great sandwich! I got the Dr. K, light on the mayo, add lettuce and tomato. The bread was big and nice thick slices. Also, they didn't skimp on the meat which was very nice. The meat and cheese were the perfect temperature. They use a microwave, which I found odd. You can get your bread toasted but you have to ask for it... which I learned after the fact, the menu only tells you it comes "Hot or Cold" which I assumed meant toasted. I'll know better next time! The guy at the register was very friendly and very helpful! I was starving and having trouble choosing between sandwiches. He helped me eliminate options until and I must say, we picked the perfect one. read more

Gotham's Deli - Dr. K, light on the mayo, add lettuce and tomato. Great sandwich! Nice big bread and plenty of meat! Ask to have it toasted. - Delis Near Me - Smithfield, North Carolina

Closest thing to a NY deli I've found so far in NC. They make a great Reuben, and have a huge menu of traditional and unique deli sandwiches. Portion sizes are very generous; a full size guarantees leftovers for lunch the next day. This is a great alternative to all of the chains and fast food restaurants in Smithfield! read more

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

Great food. Good amount of options for breakfast and lunch. They can make so many different types of sandwiches you won't be disappointed. I usually come here for breakfast and they make it fresh and it's quick service too. They even toast the buns and were able to add avocado to my sandwich. I'm only in town a few times a month for work and I've tried several restaurants and this is by far the cleanest with the best vibes and food. Definitely recommend. read more

It didn't look like much but they had AMAZING subs great sevice.

Working in area went to have lunche. Great service, cashier was very very nice, I didn't know what to order and he asked what I liked, recommended something to eat and it was delicious. read more

I'm from you north and their hoagies are very comforting to me. I am not used to hot hoagies, but theirs are great. I always order the large and eat it for 2-3 days. My favorite sub is the ham and cheddar with bacon, mustard, and mayo. Their bbq chicken subs are great too! read more

Stumbled on this place by accident. It is awesome! Their Reuben is my favorite!!! The half size is HUGE. It is probably one of the best Reubens I have had in years outside of NYC. The BLT is also delicious! I have never had a bad meal here. It is consistently good and the staff is friendly. I just wish they sold Coke products... read more

Great local place! The food is delicious and the area is convenient. I was just passing through, but before i traveled here i looked up the place and it had good reviews, i was not disappointed! read more

I hadn't been to this place since it became Gotham's. We decided to try it out for breakfast one Saturday morning, and we were not disappointed! First off, coffee is a biggie for me. The coffee was great. They had a traditional breakfast menu, but what my husband and I both ordered from was more of a breakfast sandwich menu. Pretty unique from most other breakfast places. Of course, this is a deli, and they're known for their sandwiches. I had a bacon/egg/cheese on a kaiser roll. It was so so good. I know, that sounds like a basic sandwich, but it really was good. It wasn't just plain old bread. The kaiser roll really took it over the top. I can't remember what sandwich my husband ordered, but he was raving about it. My kids both had pancakes, which were huge. Actually, we ordered just 1 kids pancake meal, which comes with 2 pancakes. It even says on the menu that the pancakes are large, and they are! It was definitely plenty for my kids (3 and 8), and they had a couple pieces of bacon each. We'll definitely be back! read more

Neat NY delicatessan just as Damien had said in his review of this deli. We were in Smithfield shopping and I remembered his Yelp review and decided to check this place out. Lot of interesting NY related sports pictures, NYC pics, 9/11 salute, etc. to view on the walls. Sandwiches were delicious. One star penalty because I didn't realize it was a chain restaurant, and it was just a tad pricey. read more

I really like stopping at this deli for lunch on the way to the outlets. I tried this deli for the first time a couple of months ago. When I went in there was a little fella running the register, who was incredibly helpful. He asked what type of sandwiches we like to eat to narrow down a suggestion and even told us what his favorite sandwiches are to eat. The sandwiches here and combinations are excellent. I can really tell from the menu and sandwiches that there is a lot of thought put in the menu and flavor combinations. If you go here you have to try the pasta salad or the potato salad, both are fantastic. I ordered the BBQ, and would suggest to anyone. read more

great deli sandwiches, join them for breakfast too. great local family owned business. Get a quartered pickle with your sandwich. Been going there a while some of the old menu items are my favorites and they will make them still upon request. read more

Didn't expect to find a true New York style delicatessen in Smithfield downtown. Delicious sandwiches. Scones are phenomenal. I would be happy to come back. If you are visiting Smithfield this is a locals spot that you must venture into and I assume you will be pleasantly rewarded. read more

Driving on the 95 &. Looking for a local non fast food option. Reviews look promising & as soon as we arrived at noon, there was a line of 10 behind us. Nice cashier but sandwiches took 15 minutes to make. Son ordered a knuckle sandwich, I ordered a west, DH a Philly cheesesteak. They were all supposed to be hot. Son's sandwich meat was still frozen in the middle. We watched the kid making them use the microwave to heat all the sandwiches...really! Even the Philly cheesesteak! My west sandwich was delicious but lukewarm. My DH took one bite & threw the rest away it was so bad. Son only ate 1/2 of his until he bit into frozen section. Sooo disappointed cause I really wanted to like this place! $32 spent without drinks or chips & we still need to stop for a real lunch. read more

I ordered my 2 sandwiches to go (1 Real Subway, 1 Brooklyn Bridge and a pickle). I ordered them heated as I love when the bread is toasted a little. I paid and then waited. Everyone was friendly and super helpful as they have always been. Then, I heard the beep. I looked up and realized that my heated sub was not being toasted but the meat and cheese were being microwaved. The roast beef was barely still pink. And in my mind I was very confused as even Subway toasts their subs and does not microwave their food. And I'm at Gandolfos, not subway....a huge step up. So I continue to watch and then out comes my turkey and cheese from the other microwave. And thankfully before adding it to my sub, I proceed to watch them drain or squeeze the grease over the trashcan. Fast forward to getting home and taking the first bite. Something is off. Long story short of it, the cheese had been heated to the point of where it was hard and the turkey was wrapped up in it. Go to subway folks. Or even Sheets. They at least they don't microwave your sandwiches. read more

Tried this place for the first time. Both sandwiches (Bauer St and Torpedo) were super yummy. The pasta salad was amazing. We will be back!!

I love this place! The sandwiches are huge (and I only get a half) and the salads are tasty. There is usually a long line at lunch, so be ready to wait. There is not much seating inside and only a few tables outside, so would not recommend large parties coming here unless you are ordering your food to go. read more

Yum!! I got the tuna sub and it did not disappoint. I got there around 12:00. It was just starting to get busy. When I left the line was at the door. It moves quickly tho. Great prices! $7.95 with drink and chips. Plus $1 tip. Those ladies work hard. The only downfall is the parking situation. If you're traveling with a buddy drop them at the door so they can jump in line while you park. read more

Tried the P dog, with pastrami and a half Ruben, both were great, and both were big. And they take call ahead orders. If you're traveling and want something different than fast food, this is a great spot. Parking is a little rough, but worth it to find. I was very impressed with how everything was. Will definitely go back on my return drive. read more

Used to be gandolfo's. Still great food. I dont know what the urban cowboy is called now but it is amazing!!! Im sure they still know what it is. the Godfather is good too if you love marinara sauce. read more

The egg sandwich is as close to a NY deli as you will find in NC. The rest of the sandwiches are good, but I wish they used Boar's Head cold cuts like a true NY deli. Also wish they had a Kaiser roll without poppy seeds, but all said they are a good little deli. read more

out of towners down for a visit and came in for breakfast. we had the reuben, the hudson, mikayla sandwiches and a huge breakfast plate. everything came out hot and fresh. so good we decided to come back the next day!! outstanding place and exceptional service read more

My favorite lunch spot!! Quick and friendly service if you love subs I mean really good subs this is the place to go!

Nice location and unique layout. Very good hot and cold sandwiches!! Highly recommend the gyros. Pricing is reasonable and food is great. Will be eating there again! read more

Awesome food, nice vibe, good little hole in the wall location. Stop by and grab a sandwich when Subway isn't doing it for you anymore.

Sounded good, got off the highway and drove over. CLOSED. Monday at 4:50pm. Ad says open until 8.

Great sandwich place. Sandwiches are consistently good and the service is always friendly.

Stopped for lunch while traveling cross the state. Fun place. Food was great. Potato salad was amazing! Staff very nice and helpful. The place took os off our route, but it was a very pleasant detour. read more

We love this place! Great family atmosphere! Even though I am not a Yankees or METS fan, it's great to see players from when I was a younger kid, pictures hanging on the Walls! Great food! Always a good experience! Wonderful selections of food. Get there early to get a great deli selection on sides! Never had a bad sandwich here! read more

One of my favorite places to grab a sandwich (chicken salad is fantastic).

One of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. The menu is huge and if you don't see what you like, they'll make it! Fresh every time I go there. Great service! Great atmosphere. Very NYC nostalgic. read more

Not sure if this is a real NY Deli or not...don't care. The food is excellent! Getting there is a pain and parking can also be a pain but the food is perfection!!! read more

I love the food here! Absolutely delicious! So many different options you can choose from and they load up your sandwich, they don't skimp on anything! I'm always welcomed when I walk in and the employees are extremely friendly! These subs are 100x better than any subway or Jimmy John's. I would definitely suggest this place to anyone who wants a delicious and filling sub! read more

Great place to get a good sandwich in Smithfield! Most other options are fast food, and Gotham's is a solid restaurant with great sandwiches. I recommend it to everyone who is in Smithfield looking for lunch. The Hudson is my favorite so far, but the Dark Night is about as good as it gets for a cold sub. read more

Great authentic deli subs and sandwiches. Tops in Smithfield. Thanks, Scott!

In my opinion, the chicken parmesan sandwich was not "chicken parmesan". It was sliced chicken on a bun. The entire sandwich was assembled and microwaved rather than heated in a oven. read more

Really mad at Gandolfo's. One lady employee made an inappropriate and racially tinged remark about my wife how she ordered from the kids menu for my 15 month old son. This employee said it just loud enough for my wife to hear it. She couldn't believe that my son could eat the sandwich on the kids menu. She thought my wife, who is African (not African American "black"), was trying to cheat the restaurant out of a meal. We bought plenty of kids meal for this boy and he ate it all. On the redeeming side, the other employees were visually embarrassed about this but no one spoke up to her. My wife did not speak up because it's her nature to not respond to ignorance and risk sounding rude. We love the food but this experience has put a bad taste in our mouth. read more

We were driving along 95 and wanted something other than typical roadside fare. A quick yelp search led us to this hidden dive. It's less than two miles off of 95 and in downtown Smithfield. We parked by the courthouse and walked around the corner. It was small and the walls were covered in NY memorabilia. The sandwiches were cleverly named and after reading over the menu my husband and I decided to share a knuckle sandwich. It was a pastrami with marinated mushrooms and olives on sourdough and not something I would typically go for, but it was awesome. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I'm disappointed we don't actually live around here - but now I know where we'll stop next time. For kids, they offer a ham or turkey sandwich with chips and a drink for only $3.75 - deal! Even the sweet tea was great! Besides pictures of different people and places in NY, there were even pictures of the Gandolph family which adds to the charm. What a great find! read more
