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!

My sister and I just dined here. Sully is the GOAT and he should get a raise. He did not tell me to say that. Anyway our food was delicious and fast!!!

Chopped Cheese
Mitchell S.

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.

Southern Craft Sandwiches -- High Hopes, Underwhelming Sandwich…read more I stopped by Southern Craft Sandwiches for lunch with pretty high expectations after reading several positive Yelp reviews. I love supporting local businesses, and I'm always excited to discover a great sandwich shop. The restaurant itself is rather intimate, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. So far, so good! I ordered the pastrami Reuben combo with chips and a drink to go. Now, I LOVE a good Reuben, so the anticipation was building the entire drive home. When I opened the container, the sandwich looked absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, the flavor didn't live up to the presentation. There was a generous portion of pastrami, which I appreciated, but the meat itself lacked flavor. The spicy brown mustard was overwhelming, while the cheese and sauerkraut were barely noticeable. A good Reuben is all about balance, and this sandwich just didn't have it. The bread was another disappointment. Rather than having that beautifully toasted exterior I look forward to, it seemed more steamed than grilled, which took away from the overall experience. I genuinely wanted to love this place, especially given its positive reviews and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the sandwich fell flat for me. With several other sandwich shops in the area, I would be more inclined to explore those options before returning. The service was pleasant, the presentation was promising, but the flavor simply wasn't there. And the real disappointment? I'm still hungry! I wish Southern Craft Sandwiches the best, but this visit just wasn't a winner for me.

I tried this little place hidden off Capitol Boulevard today because I was craving pastrami…read moresandwich!! I had been running errands and had my PSA with me... I tried to call before going in with her because some restaurants don't have it on their door, but also don't allow inside... their phone went to a recorded message so I figured go in and give it a try, of course they weren't happy about it, but they let me order my sandwich and we're polite and kind to me!! That's very important!! What I liked so far was even though they're busy and small they're friendly. And the young man that worked there was very kind to me!! even brought my dog a water when he brought my sandwich outside to me!! I wish I had a huge tip for him!! Got home, opened up the sandwich and to my surprise, there laid a masterpiece!! I took a bite of my Toasted hot pastrami sandwich, and I was immediately in heaven!!!' The flavors were bursting and melting in my mouth!! The perfect amount of everything put together by an artist!! Well done chef!! Well done owner!! Well done Staff!! My first time at the lunchbox definitely ensuring it will not be my last time because I have not found a more pleasing flavorful pastrami and Raleigh. I enjoyed it so much and it was so filling I could only eat half of it.!! Don't get me started on their selection of chips!! Kettle chips are my favorite and they had jalapeño queso. Nobody carries those.!! Thank you so much. Perfect blend with that beautiful sandwich.

Glad to say, I've found a new favorite lunch spot when I'm working in office. I was greeted as soon…read moreas I walked in, I let him know it was my first time and he told me their top three selling sandwiches. I forgot to take photo of my soup. The great thing is, they allow you to taste test their soups to decide which one you want. The first tester he gave me was the Italian wedding soup. I didn't even try the other two, that first bite had me sold. I opted for a hot sandwich, the Reuben which is one of the favorites. Can't believe I just came across them. Absolutely delicious and flavorful.

My family & I were in the Raleigh area around lunchtime so we decided to stop by Raleigh Iron Works…read moreand eat somewhere. We landed on Eastcut Sandwich Bar. 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!
