My sister lives around the corner from Grocery Basket, and every time we come up from Virginia for a family visit, cheesesteak night from there is a must. It's perfectly made with white American cheese and the best hoagie-style roll. Seriously, the bread is perfection--it doesn't even get soggy when you reheat leftovers the next day, which says a lot. My only critique is that I ordered a side of fries and never received them, and the man who takes the to-go orders isn't the friendliest. He tends to make you feel like you're a bother when calling in an order. That said, if you're looking for a quick, comforting to-go meal, definitely give their cheesesteak a try! read more

Cool little bodega I never knew was there. Owners are great people working hard to serve the community. Hot sandwiches are delicious with great prices. Nice little gem try it out. read more

Very good Italian subs. Also very affordable I've been going there for a while now. Four star rating for me read more

We're new to the area and we like an occasional sub. We've tried many places listed on Yelp and the Grocery Basket came to mind today. The Italian sub that they made us today was definitely in the top 3 of the shops that we've tried. Tasty, full of meat, and just downright delicious! We'll be back! Cheesesteak next time. read more

It's a small corner store but they sell subs and they're tasty. I had the chicken salad sub and can recommend. Wide variety of snacks and other sandwiches that can be ordered. If you're nearby in Dover and haven't been you should check it out! Prices are definitely reasonable. I'd be happy to go again. read more

See all

Right by my house ,is own by different people now but the food still great , not a bad store for a small corner store ,I love it is so convenient read more

Convenient neighborhood store, good prices and excellent, freshly prepared food. Next time we're in town, I'll be trying more from the menu

Great service, the workers are very kind. The food is excellent, and has a huge variety. They also have essential items such as care products, and household items. read more

The food is good, the prices are very reasonable. The only downside is that the place is so busy, there's always a long line at the cashier. And sometimes they're too busy to answer the phone to take an order. The reason they're so busy is because the food is good and the prices are low. read more

Tried to order here for the first time, the guy who answered the phone took my order and was polite. I ordered a hot vegetarian sub. Sounds simple, right? Got a call back from a RUDE woman who said (although their menu states that they take special requests) said they never made a vegetable sub and didn't know what I was asking for. I repeated that I wanted friend veggies and cheese and she got more snippy stating that if I wanted cheese I wasn't getting a veggie sub. I then asked for a cheese sub with veggies. She told me it was a different price, I told her that was fine. But then asking what I wanted she got snippy once again. I told her just forget about that portion of the order (because at this point I'm convinced she's spitting in my food). So she hangs up the phone on me. How professional. I call back and ask for my order cancelled and she hangs up on me yet again. Now I'm a very patient, friendly person. So believe me when I said, this was unnecessary attitude coming from this mean person. Definitely, at the least shouldn't be taking customer orders. She caused this place to lose all of our business. read more

Don't waste your time here the night staff is horrible , they make the college students take their hoods off because they are scared of being robbed again, it says they close at 9pm on Saturday's online but I just left there at 7pm and the front door was locked with multiple customers trying to get in but the workers are inside sitting on items and on their phone talking to each other having a good time but not working smh I'm done with this place it's not even as good since owners changed STAY AWAY read more

This little bodega makes subs and has the best cheesesteak sandwiches ever. Everything is fresh and the hot sandwiches are cooked to order. These guys were right at the corner from where my mom lived and I make it a point to get a sub from them every time I am in Dover. They are open until 10pm... SCORE! read more

Grocery Basket - Delis Near Me - Dover, Delaware

Been coming here for a few years and never disappointed! Polite staff and amazing food

I live within walking distance of this place and have eaten there my whole life! Breakfast, lunch, dinner...or whenever, they can make something you want! Their scrapple egg and cheese sandwiches are amazing! Their chicken salad is also very good. Their cold cut subs and cheeseburgers are great as well. They are friendly and treat you like neighbors in there. Love supporting a local business! read more

I ordered 1 bacon egg and cheese and 1 Scrapple egg and cheese. They gave me 2 bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. I call when I realized they made a mistake with the order. The lady on the phone told me to bring the sandwich back and she'll make sure I get the right sandwich and give me a credit for their mistake. Drove 15 mins to get back to the store. They exchanged the sandwiches but refused to give my money back. read more

Today I ordered a Turkey Club. It wasn't as good as the last two that I ordered prior. I did not like that the two ladies working in the kitchen making the sandwiches was talking badly about a customer that was in the establishment earlier. The cashier also was not very polite at all. However I am headed back there right now to pick up another sandwich that I'm wanting to try. I hope to have a better experience. read more

new owners. food portions are much smaller. quality isn't as good. sad to see it go. haven't gone back in awhile.

I LOVE the Grocery Basket, the location is so convenient, it's homey almost. The food is delicious, the subs are full and fresh. Bonnie, the owner, is possibly the sweetest person I've ever met! She was such a morning person, so vibrant I couldn't help to mimic her mood. I will continue to eat here. Oh and the prices!!! Affordable especially with the monthly specials! read more

I really like this place. Cheesesteaks are solid and the chicken salad is good to go. Their seafood salad has a bit too much mayo. Great for Wesley College students. read more

I live within a 5 minute walk of this place! Great food, great price, and cooked when you ask for it. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time - this place is good for all! Plus, it has a few simple grocery offerings such as canned goods, milk, or bread as well! Great place to stop if you live in the area or if you are passing through. read more

There's nothing fancy about this place, but it doesn't need anything fancy to be good. It's been a Dover staple for ages and will likely continue to be so for a long time. Classic subs and sandwiches, simply prepared, but done well. read more

This place is great. I found it two years ago when I had to go to Dover for a Conference and I wanted a good cheese steak. It is a very small shop but the food is great. THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T GIVE IT 5 STARS IS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CARRY TASTY CAKE PRODUCTS. read more

Excellent prices and the food is usually pretty good. It doesn't strike me as the cleanest place in the world, but it is in an older building. The staff is usually friendly and make sure your order is correct. read more
