First rate experience. Everyone was so kind and welcoming when we arrived. The staff was friendly and helpful with ordering and directions. My roast beef was perfect and the mountain of fries was daunting. No Name is a great spot for a quick, filling lunch. You need to stop by if you're in the area. read more

No Name Deli is one of my favorite lunch spots in Columbia. I love the throwback feel when I step in there. I still remember the days when they only accepted cash, but now that they accept cards, tap pay, and you can even order online, as busy as it always is, I never have a problem with parking. Customer service is good as well. It is kind of nostalgic. They accept call-in orders as well.   I love their prime rib sandwich and french fries. It is a hefty sandwich with great flavor and comes on french bread with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. The fries are served fresh and hot. They are good and not overly salted. I tried something new most recently, the cajun chicken filet sandwich. I was kind of nervous, as I am particular when it comes to chicken sandwiches. That sandwich was so good. It comes with bacon and Monterrey cheese. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The fries were seasoned and referenced by cajun. They were good, just like their regular fries. Pretty much they have something for everyone, and you cannot go wrong. read more

My sister took me to No Name Deli, one of her favorite spots in Columbia. I'd heard her talk about it before, and finally got a chance to go. The menu had a lot of choices, which was cool. The place didn't look super fancy, but the food was really good. I got a cheeseburger with fries, and my sister got hot dogs, fries, and chili. Everything was made fresh, which I liked. We had to wait a bit for our food, but it was worth it. I saw them drop the fries, so they were hot and fresh when we got them. The employees seemed like a big family, joking around with each other. You could tell who the regulars were because the staff knew their orders and called them by name. I'd recommend No Name Deli. The food is tasty, and the vibe is friendly. I'll definitely go back to try more stuff on the menu. read more

I ordered small Greek salad to go for lunch. When I arrived my order was ready but there was a line for pickup. I waited about 5mins, however the cashier was very friendly and seems like she enjoyed what she does. The restaurant wasn't busy. She cash me out handed me my bag and I left. When arrived back at work I opened my salad ready to eat I didn't see any salad dressing at all. I double checked the bag and Nothing. I was instantly Mad. I only get a hour for lunch and it's a 10 minute drive for me. I thought about calling but what would have that did, I needed the dressing now. So I just picked through my toppings trying to make the best of it. Well after I eating 1/4 of salad I found the dressing buried under the lettuce. I just would make a recommendation that the dressing be placed where it can be seen versus you have to did through the salad to find. After that my salad was delicious. read more

No Name Delicatessen - Small Greek Salad - Delis Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

One of the best delicatessens in our area. I've eaten there more than a hundred times, and am rarely disappointed.

No Name Delicatessen - Greek House Salad With Grilled Chicken - Delis Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This was hands down the best sandwich I have tried in a very very long time. This was my first experience with No Name Deli, and the menu was a bit overwhelming. I felt like a freshman on a college campus as most of the customers were repeat guest and knew exactly what to order. The Customer service was great. They did their best with not trying to rush me and even encouraged me that I picked the right choice in a sandwich. And after I had the first bite, I see why she said i made the right choice, lol! Inside the building is a warm and fuzzy vibe, like an old diner that you can meet up with your lunch buddies and hang out for a quick 30 min bite. I would definitely come back to try other menu items so I can graduate to the sophomore experience lol! read more

No Name Delicatessen - Turkey Reuben - Delis Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I haven't been here in years and it's just as good as I remember. This was an extra special visit, because I was introducing it to my kids. They were definitely swept up in the hustle and bustle around them, but such is a great deli. We greatly enjoyed our meals. The service was super fast and friendly. I might have eaten too much, but it was completely worth it. read more

An old fashioned cafeteria style deli where you first pick your tray, fork, knife, and spoon, and choice of drink. View the desserts available and order whatever is on the menu which there are lots of varieties. The sandwiches were made fresh to order along with the french fries and they were delicious. Definitely worth returning for lunch again and again. read more

Classic sandwich spot! No frills, and good quality. The service is super quick, too. I'm able to get there, order, eat, and then get back to work within my hour lunch break. read more

This was a bit of a "memory lane" visit for me and my wife. It turned into a major disappointment for us. One club sandwich with a pasta salad side and a chicken salad plate with fruit and potato salad with two iced teas was $29.00. My club was burned bacon with barely there lettuce and tomato. It was piled with turkey which didn't help. The rest wasn't any better. I did try some of the fruit from my wife's plate which looked good but wasn't ripe enough for it to taste good. No more trips down memory lane for us! read more

I got a spoon. In all seriousness. They know. Nice people and great food at reasonable prices. Always enjoy my visits. read more

The Greek Salad is amazing. It is a small but mighty delicious. The people are super friendly.

Placed a Togo order for a Reuben and mayo pasta salad!! It was ready by the time I got there! When I got home and took my first couple bites of the Reuben and pasta salad I was so thrilled by how wonderful both were!! Thank you for a great lunch!! I will be going back read more

The woman who took my order was super rude as soon as I asked a question. Food was okay. Also, kind of dirty equipment.

Love, love, love this place. Could eat here daily. Great soups, salads and sandwiches. I mix and match different combos and they are all solid. Vegetable soup with egg salad sandwich is a must for me on a cold day and their peach tea will make you slap your momma. read more

This place is in the smack of downtown. First the parking is horrible. We walked in and the menu is slim and written on the wall sloppy. Feel dirty. Small menu and cafeteria style. It was confusing being our first time there. I ordered a ham sandwich because I thought you can't go wrong. Hubby ordered a Ruben. Both meats had nothing but fat and grizzle. Poor quality meats. Both pasta salad were over cooked and not good. I was surprised the place was packed. It was hard to fill up your drink because of the line of people in front of the machine in line to order. If you want a soggy fatty sandwich that has nothing but white fat and an over cooked grandma pasta salad. Do it. But this was probably the worse sandwich I have ever had in my life. It will never compare to a good deli place like the one in Chapin or a mom and pop place in any state. Definitely won't be back. I like to know where they order their deli meats. But I know they don't pay too much for it. Guess it did go downhill when they sold the place to new owners. I know the old owners. This was disappointing. Left hungry and sad!! read more

Great food! I had the club sandwich and fries. It was awesome. The fries didn't require ketchup or anything. Great as is. That's how I judge fries. The service was good and the ambiance was about like any sandwich shop. Order your food and go sit down. They bring it to you. I came here because of the reviews and I did not leave disappointed. read more

Right off the highway, and tough to find parking. This place can get crowded quickly during lunch time. With that being said they are quick to get your order, and your food out to the table. You must have cash. For convenience they do have an ATM. Enjoy and smile read more

No Name Delicatessen - Chicken Melt Greek Salad - Delis Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I'm on the hunt for the best sandwich in Columbia, and No Name did NOT disappoint. I got an egg salad sandwich, toasted, on sourdough bread with vingarette pasta salad. The picture I posted doesn't do justice for how big this meal was. I ate half the sandwich, half the pasta salad, and the pickle and had to put the rest away. I'm not a girl that leaves much left on a plate...but boy did this one fill me up! And coming in at only $7.80, this was a bargain! A delicious, wonderful, homemade bargain! Can't beat No Name when it comes to a good old fashioned sandwich. There's nothing fancy about this sammie, there's no frills...but that's really why I loved it. I felt like I absolutely got my money's worth of food and it was really good. The service is also wonderful. Laura works the drive thru pick up line like a champ, she's super nice, and always has a smile on her face. No Name is Columbia at it's friendliest. read more

No Name Delicatessen - a sandwich and pasta salad - Delis Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

You know a place with bible verses on the napkin holder is going to have some top notch sweet tea. Nostalgically tasty deli sandwiches and soups are a given. However I didn't expect to develop a bordering problematic addiction here to the gyro bowl special which pops up a couple times a week. The Tzatziki to salad ratio is just right. Everything about this place brings the soul to equilibrium. Try it out. read more

Always delicious food and great service! Order online for fast pick up. Awesome daily specials.

This place is completely off the chain. The quality has never changed! I typically have the egg salad sandwich with the soup of the day and a piece of cornbread. They have a very good selection of different food options. The people working here a very polite and hospitable. The line never stops for lunch and the employees keep the food coming. One of the Diamond gems of Columbia!!! read more

I crave their egg salad on a regular basis. Friendly and even though it's fast paced if you're new just tell them it is your first time there and they'll walk you through the process. They have a great huge Greek salad too and don't underestimate their delicious teas! Ambience has a lot of personality and they have people bussing the tables who are always friendly (don't forget to tip!) read more

No name is one of the best lunch spots. The hamburger and fries are wonderful. I love the Greek salad. They have great sandwiches with chips or fries. I've had their grilled chicken and fried chicken fingers, all great. They have lots of other choices as well. The service is nice and quick. read more

The first time you come in here, you were going to be confused during lunch rush. But follow the line and it moves fast! Definitely a great local spot. I got a sandwich, potato salad, and their local sweet potato fries. Ask about their sweet potato fries, they aren't on the menu yet! VERY impressed with the food here and the service. read more

Yesterday was a great day for a Club Sandwich from the No Name Deli!!! They have the best Club Sandwich in Columbia by my vote. The bacon was crispy and the turkey was soooo tender. Their ice tea is also excellent compared to others. They even have peach ice tea and another flavor but I stick to the regular sweet tea and add a little water as my taste for surgar has diminished over the years which is excellent! I was concerned yesterday when I found the owner sold the business the last day of December. I immediately started looking for changes and spoke to the new owner. His mask concealed his identity and once removed I immediately recognized him. He has been working there almost 19 years and knows everything up and down!!! I did notice some improvement in different areas and a major one for a lot of people. They now take credit cards which is major as it was cash only forever. The new owner is as great as the previous owner!!! read more

No Name Delicatessen - Club Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

This place has such a large variety of items! I highly recommend the taco salad. It's huge and delicious! The food is good and they're pretty fast with their service, considering everything is made as you order. The only downfalls are you have to pay with cash or check and parking is a nightmare. I don't use checks and hardly ever have cash. I always try to carpool if I'm going with a group. There are a surprisingly large amount of tables, but they fill up fast so seating can be difficult. They're always busy and only open during the week. It'd be nice to be able to go there on a weekend day as I'm time limited during the week. I highly recommend this place and would go more often if I could. read more

Great old fashioned deli. Lots of sandwich and salad choices. Generous servings. Very fast service. Prices are always reasonable.

I've come here to eat lunch, for the last ten years. Another one of Columbia's hidden treasures! The tuna plate, has tons of fruit that's in season. The tuna sits on a bed of lettuce & tomato's. The pasta is either or mayo or vinegar blend. As you can see it's a lot of food. Their food is always a welcomed treat for lunch. But the parking is kinda limited during lunch. Parking on the street is metered (please be careful parking there) it's gets pretty crowded. It was on the way home. I couldn't resist! read more

Delicious and lots of menu options. Quick and cheap! Cool local spot with regular people

Been visiting family at the hospital for many days trying all sorts of restaurants in Columbia. This was my favorite lunch spot. Exactly what you want out of a deli place for lunch :) We got the grilled chicken salad and chicken shawarma with pasta salad. Just a solid deli spot. read more

This used to be one of my favorite lunch places, but that has changed with the new ownership. I have always enjoyed their flavored tea. Another favorite was the vegetable soup which was hearty and filling. It seems the new owner has made changes, and the soup is no longer homemade. To me it tastes like something I could buy in a can at the grocery store. I'm so disappointed! I cannot speak for the rest of the menu which may be excellent, I just will steer clear of the soup in the future. read more

My dad took me here today for my first visit. Don't know why he waited so long! While the decor is outdated and unpretentious, the food is excellent. They have very personable and patient employees who crafted my sandwich to order. The potato salad and slaw were made from scratch delicious. The portions were plenty!I love that you can order a half sandwich for lighter appetites. While there I observed businessmen, laborers, and families enjoying the food - this place obviously appeals to everyone! read more

I've been here at least three times for lunch and never had a bad meal in fact it was a great lunch. Some nostalgia old school vibes here, you walk in and see the murals on the wall of the city. It's almost as the entrance is somewhat like a cafeteria you can grab a tray to choose from the endless sandwich options, soups, subs, hotdogs, and a whole lotta other things to choose from like potato salad or many deserts. Recently I had Mexican sausage and bean soup to go with the liverwurst and prolovne sandwich on pumpernickel with a little mayo, such greatness nothing too fancy just a nice sandwich. The people who work here are always friendly and genuine ready to help you enjoy you lunch. Come early as it gets busy and bring cash ! read more

Excellent lunch spot in downtown Columbia. The soups are especially fantastic, so don't miss out on that! I'm also a big fan of the shrimp salad sandwich, personally! The portions are large so don't over-order unless you want to take home leftovers. read more

I've lived in Columbia for a few years now and this place has somehow gone under my radar. Maybe with the name that's what they're going for. I'm obviously in the minority because they were packed but surprisingly speedy with our food. They definitely have one of the better sandwiches in Columbia on top of friendly service and an atmosphere with lots of character. I'll be returning. read more

Took my girl here when she was CRAVING some soup. It was a little confusing and overwhelming when we walked in but the staff was so kind and helpful. The food was good and I always can appreciate a place that has a fresh made soup daily that is something sort of out of the norm! Be mindful this place is cash only, luckily I was stacked the day we went so we were able to enjoy. Good food and good vibes. read more
