    Had an amazing meal at Gotham's Deli today! I ordered the 12" chicken parm sandwich with a slice of chocolate cake and both were absolutely delicious. This was my second time coming to Gotham's Deli but it definitely hit different today (in the best way possible). I'm so glad I got a full sandwich so I could enjoy the second half for lunch tomorrow. If you ever find yourself in downtown Smithfield, this is the place to go to. The workers were so kind and the decorations are so nice. I'm from New York and I loved seeing all the Mets stuff on the walls. I'll definitely be coming back ASAP!

    Check This Place Out!!!!!! *sounds the trumpet* NY overload!! Haha, Love it!! This sandwich shop will bring a smile to your face. I don't know where they get, or if they make, the Rye bread but MANNNNN was it good; not dense and/or dry. The sandwiches are on point!! Great ratios of meat, cheese, toppings, and condiments. The selections of sandwiches are big as well, from Ham, Turkey, Veggie, Chicken, Roast Beef, Signature, Italian, Hot Dogs, annnnnnd Box lunches!!!!! Oh, they have a jar of huge pickles, too!!!! Today, we ordered the Dark Knight and Dr. K, which you can get with Chips and a drink. Both sandwiches were gone in a matter of minutes. Gotham Deli sits downtown Smithfield, with available street parking. Inside is long and narrowish with booth seating. They have a fountain drink station with the best Dr. Pepper to carbonation ratio, at least they did today!!! Oh my goodness, those 23 flavors were rich.

    Dr. K whole sandwich

    Ordered a Dr. K sandwich and what a disappointment! It consisted of pastrami, turkey, cheddar, onions, mustard & mayonnaise. The picture I posted has pastrami AND turkey, and it looks like barley any deli meat is on it. I come from the New York/ New Jersey area and was excited to see a piece of home here in NC. For $12 they give you two pieces of pastrami. I felt like I was eating a mustard and mayo hero with a minuscule side of pastrami & turkey. They are lucky there are no other deli's around here to compete with. This is a shame! I will say, the deli meat was good quality, the decor was top notch, and the rip off was real.

    Amazing deli located literally downtown Smithfield. You walk in and it's very much a New York delicatessen vibe. I placed an order over the phone and let them know when I arrived, and it was just about 10-15 minutes until I received my food. My party ordered a tuna melt, brass knuckles, Mr met, and the Hudson. The total was just shy of $57 for the 4 full whole sandwiches. I ended up receiving a tuna sub instead of the melt, but it was still delicious. Everything was flavorful, filling, and huge! I would love to come back again soon!

    This is my favorite deli! I've been eating at this restaurant for over 15 years and haven't had anything bad. I usually get the Bauer Ave sub but I've tried just about everything on the menu. I highly recommend this place. Great food and atmosphere. Even being a Red Sox fan, it's still a great place.

It was built in 1900 and still has the original tin ceiling, decorative windows and exposed brick. Seating is on two floors, providing a cozy feel if sitting in the loft. They have the "Pear Necessities of Life" This is both a cafe for coffee and teas but also a bakery that serves breakfast and lunch. They are known for their bubble waffles, and crepes. But also have a large menu that has sandwiches, salads, flat breads and breakfast items. There should be something that appeals to even the pickiest eater. Ordering is done at the counter, and you receive a number, and the beverage and food are brought to your table. The menu is posted outside the entrance so you can check it out first. I went with a rose and cranberry lemonade that was a drink special, and the bubble waffle, and added strawberries and bananas. The bubble waffle intrigued me as I had never had one before. It is a honeycomb waffle popular in Hong Kong. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It looks like bubble wrap, which is hard to tell as mine was covered in strawberries and bananas. I enjoyed the texture and flavors of it. The Gilded Pear is a great addition if you're looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat.

But it was worth those few extra minutes for front row seats of the action on the tarmac below. We arrived during their lunchtime buffet hours, although you can also order from their regular menu. I'm not usually a buffet person, but since I wanted to try a little bit of everything it was definitely the way to go. For $18 I got some ribs, pulled pork, and BBQ chicken. Not to mention, a side of their delish cornbread, and a scoop of two of my Southern faves: mac & cheese and collard greens. Sadly, I was too full of the deliciousness to make a second trip, but if I had it would have been for a heaping pile of mashed potatoes and a generous scoop of their homemade peach cobbler. If you like airplanes and BBQ, add this to your list for your next visit to the area. They also have a full bar, though on this hot day we were happy with bottomless refills of their refreshing sweet tea.
