The best breakfast in Charleston hands down! Not only the food but the owners and employees are top notch! Have been coming here for several years and they never disappoint. The breakfast burrito is a golden choice but this O.G. Sammie with ham is legit and legendary!! read more

Legend Deli - O.G. Sammie with Ham - a must try!! OG Sammie - Sandwiches Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Overall: A must-go if you need a to-go sandwich, but wish they were open on Sundays! The good: The sandwiches are pretty incredible. I've had several of them now over multiple visits, and each one is delicious, fresh, and well-portioned. Certainly leagues beyond other "fast" options in the area. Both the hot and cold options are divine, with loads of meat (if you get it) and toppings. Excited to try their breakfast sometime. The not-so-good: I know this is typical for plenty of businesses in the area, but them being closed on Sundays is such a bummer. Our family often comes downtown on Sundays because of free parking (and free time in general), and we'd love to take their sandwiches to a park/space nearby, but can't on Sundays. Additionally, their spot is limited in terms of seating and space, so be ready to leave a stroller outside. read more

As so as you walk in you're greeted with enthusiastic energy. The staff really seem to be having a good time with each other, which makes for a fun environment. We went for lunch during the week and there was no line. We ordered, grabbed a table, and our food was delivered a few minutes later. Most breakfast items are $10 and most lunch items are $15. We probably could've split one item because it was a generous size! We both thought it was delicious. It's a very small laid back space. Only about 4 tables, but a good place to grab a quick, affordable, and tasty sandwich. read more

Maybe the best sandwhich shop in Charleston. They have hot and cold sandwhiches but even the cold sandwhiches come on freshly griddle toasted bread. I usually get the GOAT which has generous amounts of goat cheese and turkey. I also get the special sandwhich which last time was a blue cheese buffalo chicken that SLAPPED. read more

So good that we came back 2 days in a row (once for lunch then for breakfast). This place makes a killer sandwich and has cool vibes and an awesome playlist. The staff is super friendly and it was packed but they do have several tables inside and table turnover moves quickly because people are shoving their food in their faces. Highly recommend The GOAT sandwich (I'm gonna be dreaming about it for a while). It's definitely going to be a regular spot in our Charleston rotation now. read more

The service and food were fantastic! The food came out fairly quickly, and it was all delicious! The vibe is also really cool and unique! The smash burger especially is very good. Our cashier/ server was very helpful and personable. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and come back when in Charleston. read more

Stopped in for lunch while shopping. The place is small with maybe 5 tables and 2 counters. It was packed. We found a table after ordering our food. I had the turkey and provolone which was good. Someone else had the goat which was very good. The third person had the buffalo chicken wrap which was also good. Must be very popular since there was a non stop stream of people coming in and out. Would try again for sure. read more

UPDATE 10/13/25 after my experience last Friday I decided to come back here while doing business downtown. Once again, I was warmly greeted by their staff. Today, the background music was a side of Zoso, not too loud. This time I ordered the Reuben Bagel. It's corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, fried egg, and "Ukrainian" dressing on an everything bagel. On my last visit I enjoyed their toasted sourdough so much that I substituted. At first I was a little unsure of this sandwich because I've never had an egg on a Reuben. Well, DO IT! The Ukrainian Sauce is their own version of Russian dressing. It has a tiny bit more tang than a regular Russian dressing. But the sauce also contains a nice little surprises in the flavor of a little heat. It creeps slowly up on the tongue until it reaches a nice plateau. At that point it stays right there, a nice compliment to the other flavors. I liked it so much I ordered a side of the Russian and dipped the second half of my sandwich in it. If you didn't believe my first review then you dam*ed well should believe this one. Come here. Bon appétit. read more

Very friendly staff and absolutely delicious food.. The GOAT was the best!!!!!! Good prices

The sandwich was really good and had such a unique flavor! Definitely not your average sandwich shop--they have some fun and interesting combos that are worth trying. The staff was super nice, and I loved the vibe inside. It's a pretty small space though, so it might be hard to find a table if you're with a bigger group. read more

Excellent sandwiches and very friendly staff. Clean and easy going. Would recommend it to all ages.

Grabbed a chicken Caesar wrap from Legend Deli today for my lunch back in the office. Pickup only took about 20 minutes! When I went in, it was crowded in there with people who are on a business trip. I was able to go around the line and get my pickup order from beside the register which is great! I've been in here a couple times for various reasons and staff is always super nice. I love how they write funny things on the bag! As for the wrap itself, this is one of the best chicken Caesar wraps I've ever had! It's warm, flavorful, and even has a little crunch. They have a large variety of sandwiches on their menu, so there is something for everyone! Highly recommend Legend Deli. read more

We popped into this place on a Friday around noon. Cool vibes all around. Fun art and fun music. Staff at the register were very friendly and helpful. The owner/chef was in the house and was welcoming and told us a little about his history in the food business. My wife ordered the Reuben Bagel which was fantastic. It was served hot and cheese was melted how it should be. The Jabroni (hot tavern ham, hot sopressata, Genoa salami, whipped ricotta, tomato, red onion, hot pepper relish, "shretruce", house vinaigrette on a hoagie roll) was great! It was just a solid sandwich with great ingredients. I believe they use Boar's Head meats. I recommend stopping here if you're looking for quality deli grub! read more

Best sandwich I've ever had in my life. I got the GOAT - pepper turkey, whipped goat, roasted red pepper mayo, onion jam, and arugula on buttery toast. I will definitely get it one more time before I leave Charleston, too. Nice staff. Clean bathroom. Just steps away from King Street, but significantly less chaotic. read more

Great fast casual non bougie deli!! Amazing good food!!! The bagel sandwiches are a must have!

We came upon this place on accident last time and had the best breakfast burritos/bagel sandwiches and when we came back this summer, we just happened upon it a second time! Same great experience the second time. Everyone is upbeat and happy in there and the food is just really good! One request: bring back the Rebel hot sauce!!!!! My son was disappointed. Still 5 stars though! read more

My niece, grandniece and I wanted to grab a snack for our tour of Ft Sumter. Legends was on the way to the pick up point for the ferry to Ft Sumter and had good reviews. I got the Jabroni (Italian meats on a hoagie roll). The sandwich was packed with goodies, and was the perfect meal to tide me over. The roll held up well vs the dressing, and the sandwich could feed two normal people. I didn't go inside, but my niece said the staff was nice, and the service was quick. She also said its small inside. Like most places in DT Charleston, there was a dearth of parking. I had to park around the corner, and pick my niece & grandniece up after the food was ready. All in all a very positive experience for good sandwiches. They even have grilled cheese for kids. read more

these guys went out of their way to accommodate my wife's gluten free needs and food allergies. they made her something simple and yet delicious, and when she eats well, my meal tastes even better. the g.o.a.t sandwich does exactly what it says on the tin - who knew whipped goats cheese was such a thing of beauty. eat here with absolute confidence! read more

Stopped in here with the kids. I had a Reuben, kids had hummus, buffalo chicken wraps, and a breakfast burrito. Everyone loved their food and it came out pretty quickly! My Reuben was on a true rye bread but it tasted great and it was one of the better ones I've had south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Decor was quirky and fun, staff was friendly. Prices were a touch on the pricey side but it's right off King Street so that's normal. Overall a nice place and the kids said they wanted to return. J.Ja read more

This was one of the best chicken Caesar wraps that I've ever had! The chicken was full of flavor. I think it was because they use chicken thighs. Highly recommend turning this salad into a wrap, but they had other great sandwich options too. The menu is very creative with the sandwich names. We stopped in a little bit before noon and ordered at the counter. We got our food in about 10 minutes. This place is really small and filled up quickly with people, but we were able to get a table. I wouldn't count on eating here in-person, so it may be better to-go. The music is good, but was a little loud. A really great gem to visit if you're in downtown Charleston shopping and want a quick bite! read more

Visitor from out of town .....If I go out for lunch or to a deli the Ruben is what I get .... One of the best Ruben's I've had in a long time .... Nice hot and fresh .... Also had a bite of the GOAT sandwich which was also very good ... good music and atmosphere with friendly staff ... food came out fast :... highly recommend read more

I was starving at work and didn't know if I needed breakfast or lunch so I got both! First, the OG Breakfast Sammie on everything bagel with Ham and herbed cream cheese. A little torched around the edges but so satisfying. Delicious toothy bagel, fluffy egg, heavenly ham, this was enough. Took the Jabroni home. Tried to share the Jabroni with hubby but he said something was weird. I'm sure it was the whipped Ricotta, which I loved. This is a solid sandwich joint and I will let hubby choose his own sandwich next time. Because there will be a next time. read more

The GOAT lived up to its name. I waited all week for my celebration meal to eat Legend Deli. I live close to downtown, but with traffic, it can be tuff. I was happy to see they were in DoorDash. I ordered and it was delivered within 30 min. Quick service and awesome note on the bag. I am typically not a fan of cold sandwiches, which means I like my protein heated. Cold meals aren't my favorite, but I decided to try the GOAT + bacon due to raving reviews with Voodoo chips. It was the BEST sandwich I have ever had. Every bit was delicious. The bread was lightly toasted, the goat cheese was smooth, not overpowering, the bacon was crispy, and the sweetness of the jam made my day! I can't wait to go back and try others. read more

Legend has it... As food prices have grown out of control, 'twas a refreshing change to find that Legend has a reasonable price point that accurately reflects their quality, portions, and choices. Hey, we love sandwiches. HEY...everyone loves sandwiches. We were excited to finally try Legend when our friends were visiting and (another) hey, we're so glad we did. We went with a few breakfast bagel and lunch sandwiches that ALL hit the mark. The OG Sammie was simple, tasty, and quick (less than 5 minutes). Legend has PERFECTLY filled the sandwich gap because they're right off King, quick, reasonable price point, and have a fun (celebrity driven) vibe. When we went to wash up, we enjoyed seeing the "celebrities on sandwiches" framed/mounted pics. Each sandwich's celebrity pairing was hilarious. read more

Didn't know what I wanted to order...Tyler came through with a great suggestion that hit the spot!

Great place. Guy at the front is super nice. Sandwich was delicious (legend of Shia labuff). From nyc and was visiting for the weekend and this is on par with any good nyc deli but with a Charleston twist. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing Spot - So Good We Went Twice! We were in town for a wedding and ended up coming here twice because it was just that good. The breakfast burritos and bagel sandwiches were delicious--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The service was also fantastic--friendly, quick, and welcoming. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot! read more

We got the ricotta on sourdough, the GOAT, and a bagel. The ricotta and the GOAT were amazing!! Would highly recommend both. Only reason for 4 stars is the bagel we got was burnt to a crisp and inedible. read more

Decent food, but music was so loud, we had to hurry to eat our food so we could get out of there. We couldn't hear each other to even talk over our lunch. Yes, complaining about the volume might make me "old"... but I prefer this kind of volume at a concert than with my meal. read more

My friend and I came here on a bustling holiday weekend and enjoyed deliciously refreshing G.O.A.T sandwiches. This sandwich was truly one of the greatest sandwiches I have had in my lifetime! Each bite brought the combination of turkey, goat cheese, onion jam, arugula, mayo, and red pepper, perfectly encapsulated in well-toasted sourdough bread. The proportions were ideal, with ingredients in a perfect ratio so as to get yumminess in each bite without being too large of a sandwich. The bathroom in the back also has some fun pictures of celebrities on sandwiches! Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an incredible hidden gem of a meal in downtown Charleston. read more

Get in there before it gets too busy!!! I had seen so much Legend Deli content on Instagram and had to check it out. Seems like they've been open for much longer than they've been: this place is a well oiled machine. The shop is small with lots of seating. There's a very good vibe in there - they were playing Misfits/Cramps type music and it seemed like everyone in the kitchen was having fun. They had a great selection of drinks and chips and even had powdered drink offerings for hungover tourist/bachelorettes/students. Service was awesome; the woman who helped me was friendly and quick. The food came out in under 10 minutes. I split The G.O.A.T. and their vegetarian sandwich, Sweet Baby Jesus, with the fiancé, and I have no notes on the G.O.A.T. It was perfect. Perfectly toasted bread, lots of turkey, delicious goat cheese (and not too much), onion jam. 10/10. They put this roasted red pepper mayo on it, which I never would have thought up in my wildest dreams, and it majorly delivered. Please order this. Charleston has a notorious lack of vegetarian sandwiches (the reason I started eating meat again), but the SBJ was very solid. I'm from Memphis, so I'm picky about bbq sauce and thought the Cheerwine bbq sauce was a little sweet for my taste (shocker I know). But I'm really blown away by the use of shredded sweet potato as a bbq sub - really great texture and cook on it. And once again, I believe the bun was toasted which is the absolute move. I thought the prices were steep for my wallet, but they do charge a 3% non-cash fee, so BRING CASH!! It's worth it. I'm already scouting my next order: chucktown chop cheese and the legend of Shia ale Beouf. read more
