Les B.

Cute place and was really excited to try a new Deli that looked and sounded delicious. I came in with high expectations. There was a gazillion sandwiches that all sounded wonderful and I ended up choosing the turkey avocado. The turkey avocado was a good size and had fresh ingredients, yet it lacked taste. Ordered a couple of sides which were the potato salad, the macaroni salad, and the pasta salad. We also ordered the ceviche and the plantains. This is where things took a quick turn, the potato salad had an odd aftertaste, the macaroni salad was not that great, and the pasta salad was soggy and drunched with Italian dressing. The ceviche had no flavoring at all and I actually came home and put my own cilantro, garlic, and lime juice in it to zhuzh it up a bit. The plantain was the nail in the coffin, it was a whole plantain and it wasn't even cooked through all the way. I am also used to plantains being sliced up and more tasteful this wasn't at all. it came accompanied with was some type of icing on the side to mask what it would have tasted like. I took one bite of that and threw the rest of it away. I spent about $60 on my order and that was without the tip. I was really looking forward to this being a new favorite spots when I travel to that area but unfortunately I may have to pass up on this. I would possibly be open to hearing about other options, but I am very weary since so many things that I had purchased on the first run were unsatisfying. Parking is limited to about 8 cars. Now I do have to say that all the crew members were very polite and there was lots of personable customers there. They're was also a nice outside area that is covered to sit under as well, so those were the pluses.

Great bang for your buck deli spot!! Very casual with a nice selection of both hot and cold sandwiches. I thought my turkey and avocado sandwich was solid, but enjoyed my boyfriend's hot sandwich that he got more. There's also a huge fridge with tons of drink selections. I do question the cleanliness of this place a little just because the tables had crumbs and I noticed small fruit flies in the display case where they had their muffins.

This has quickly become my go-to spot for a great, affordable bite. It genuinely feels like a NYC-style deli dropped into downtown Raleigh. The food punches way above its price point with quality ingredients, generous portions, and everything I've had has been dialed in. I came in for breakfast and was impressed enough to come back for dinner the same day, which says a lot. The sandwiches are the highlight, but the street tacos were a surprising win too. Looking forward to working through more of the menu, but this is already one of the best deli options in Raleigh.

I ordered from Oakwood Deli for the first time via Postmates and it was pretty tasty! I've been looking for a new place that delivers besides Bruegger's because my absolute favorite spot doesn't decline to our area. I'm also from NYC and know a good bagel. I ordered a build your own bagel with egg whites, bacon, and American cheese. I also added a side of breakfast potatoes that was served with peppers and onions. The bagel was pretty good. It was definitely more of a New York style than Bruegger's. Everything arrived fresh, hot, and flavorful. The bagel was a little bit soft and could've been more toasted, but still very good. I would surely order from here again and glad I found it. Looking forward to trying some other menu options!

Nice range of subs and sandwiches. Had the classic Roast Beef sub. They serve Boars Head provisions so you can never go wrong with that. Very popular at lunch. Limited space in parking lot but street parking was plentiful.

Yo , if you're from new york , you need to go to this deli , the chop cheese off the chain. And when you walk in there , it looks like the delis in new york i would recommend this place.I got a salad and I got the chopped cheese off the chain

So i'll remember the damn address!

Got a hidden gem here - I'm so impressed by the selection, cleanliness, organization, customer service, yadda, yadda, yadda!! Salads, sandwiches, taco and breakfast are all waiting ( well, they did run out of biscuits @ 4pm, but it says all day....) I've been twice and gotten the burger (excellent) and a fried chicken wrap the second time. Both times I couldn't turn down their excellent espresso drinks. I love consistency in a venue and this place HAS IT! I'll be recommending out of towners in need of a deli fix, right here! Parking is small, due to the patio area, but street parking was available both times, without a meter, residential or time restraint.

It's like a wrapped up baby. Oakwood Morning Burrito

I wanted a breakfast burrito and after looking at their reviews, I decided to take the drive from Cary. This place is amazing. I got the breakfast burrito with steak and a slice of Coconut cake. Both were amazing. The burrito is so stuffed that I expected it to come apart, which it did. My only gripe is why are the floors so slippery inside? It seems like they are greasy or something. I almost slipped twice. Incredible place though

Terrific deli! Tried the West/Nasty, which combines breaded chicken with ham and spice in the way of jalapeños and pepper jack cheese with Sabi sauce. Delicious! Red potato salad also great. Amazing variety of beverages: I tried a sparkling grapefruit soda by Betty Buzz which is a brand I have wanted to try. Steady customers while we were there. There are about 15 tables inside and outdoor seating also available which is a nice option. So many sandwich options (they use boar's head), including breakfast types and also burgers, tacos, quesadillas, burritos.....something for everyone!

Chopped Cheese

Huge menu and everything looked amazing but had to get a chopped cheese. Great service, food came out quick and it was amazing

This is pics of the roast beef.

Great food at a great price. I ordered The Legend a roast beef sandwich with cheddar cheese, bbq sauce and onion. It was served hot and fresh. Very tasty. Only $11. Way better than anything you'd get at a chain sandwich shop. Served with a dill pickle spear. 2 sandwiches, 2 beverages and an order of fries for about $37 including tip. Inside is clean and staff is friendly. Only negative would be the lack of parking. We were there around 2 in the afternoon and the place had a steady stream of customers. They also serve all day breakfast, burgers and tacos/burritos as well as custom beverages. Give them a try.

You can order at the counter or sit at a table and scan a QR code to order. We sat outside and did the latter option. I ordered a regular sized Dagwood. It's your choice of turkey or ham, bacon, fresh mozzarella, shredded lettuce, tomato, basil pesto, garlic aioli, & house vinaigrette on a sesame roll. I chose turkey with no garlic aioli. The online menu made it super easy to choose and/or remove ingredients. We also ordered a large order of curly fries to share too. The food came out in about 10ish minutes after ordering and an employee delivered it straight to our table. The sandwich was really good. I love pesto so it's hard to go wrong with that. My only critique was the sesame roll was a little too hard to bite for my taste. Whenever I bit into it, my sandwich kept falling apart from the other end. The true star of the meal were the curly fries. They tasted similar to the ones at Arby's. Parking was super easy to find in this area. There was an open lot not too far from Eastcut so we parked there and walked over. Overall, great place for a quick bite!

We showed up early with our 1.5 year old daughter and they were able to seat us immediately. The area felt spacious, although that could be due to the fact that it wasn't super packed inside. I ordered the short rib benedict, my husband got the chicken & waffle sandwich, and we ordered my daughter a side of the mac & cheese. What a delicious meal! The short rib was tender and flavorful, and sat on top of a biscuit (what's not to love here?!) - horseradish hollandaise was the perfect touch as the horseradish pairs nicely with the beef. The chicken & waffle sandwich was the best guilty pleasure! Waffle crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, chicken breaded and fried with a nice crunch, and a nice hot honey syrup to go alongside -- wish this had a little more heat. To our surprise, the mac & cheese side was a highlight too! It's hard to get a good mac n cheese, but this had such a rich, white cheese, slight funk flavor - delicious.

The menu is massive which made it hard to decide, but our waitress was so kind and walked us through all of the popular options. I wound up ordering the short rib melt with mac and cheese. The short rib itself was really good. It had nice flavor and was cooked well. I do wish the melt would have had some kind of sauce or au jus element to it to give it some moisture because it was slightly on the dry side. The mac and cheese was unfortunately gritty, so I would skip that next time and try a different side. The drinks here are great. They had Mango Cart on tap which is one of my all time favorite beers. The cocktail selection is well priced, and I also got the gin fizz, which I loved. Not sure that Parkside will be a regular visit because the food was okay, but the vibes and drinks were great. Definitely worth a try if you've never been.

Another stop on my Raleigh barbecue tour, Sam Jones BBQ was well worth the visit…read more I stopped in solo and grabbed a seat at the counter, starting with a Bulleit Bourbon before settling in for dinner. I ordered the Jones Family Original BBQ Tray, which comes with slaw, their slow-smoked whole-hog pork, Skylight Inn-style cornbread, and mac and cheese. The pork was the star of the show. Smoky, tender, and full of flavor, with those delicious crispy edges you expect from properly cooked whole-hog barbecue. You can really taste the Carolina oak and hickory smoke, and the vinegar-forward Eastern North Carolina style gives the pork a nice tang without overpowering it. The cornbread was excellent and the mac and cheese was a comforting side that paired nicely with the pork. I also appreciated being able to sit at the counter and watch the place in action--it has a relaxed, unfussy barbecue-joint atmosphere that fits the food perfectly. And I enjoyed my conversation with the bartender. Sam Jones has definitely earned its reputation for Eastern North Carolina whole-hog barbecue. Another strong stop on my Raleigh barbecue tour, and one I'd happily return to.

I don't love pulled pork because it tends to be dry, and it was no different in this case. The brisket was also a bit dry but the house sauce helped. I ended up dousing most of my food in it. The ribs were the best meat out of the three. It was tender and flavorful. For sides, we had slaw, mac and cheese, collard greens, potato salad, loaded baked potato, and a green salad. My favorite was definitely the slaw. I love a good slaw with BBQ meats. My least favorite was the mac and cheese, which was dry and basic. Everything else was fine. I'm glad we got to try so many sides, and got to check this spot out. But I think next time in Raleigh, I'd like to try some other BBQ places I haven't tried yet.

We always run in and out as we try and make a pitstop whenever we are close so, just in and out with a plan to savor the grub at home, but end up eating at-least one in the car before driving off. 10/10 recommend!

lucettegrace is a contemporary French patisserie located on Salisbury Street in Downtown Raleigh…read more Renowned former Umstead pastry chef Daniel Benjamin opened it in 2014 and named the shop after his daughters, Lucette and Grace. The café has a seating area if you want to dine in, though I ordered to go. When you enter, the display cases showcase the day's creations of artisanal pastries and savory gourmet sandwiches. The service was incredibly friendly, and the staff member carefully packaged my order so nothing would shift. I tried five of their signature macarons--Apple Cheesecake, Maple Vanilla, Earl Grey Citrus, Root Beer, and Pomegranate -- and also got a Rice Krispies treat with chocolate, a traditional éclair, and a rich brownie. These are definitely not your ordinary desserts; they are high-quality, masterfully executed works of art, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite. They also offer a full selection of coffee and other premium beverages. While I lucked out with a spot near the shop, keep in mind that downtown street parking can be tight at times.
