Called in today and got the most delicious sandwich! Seriously me and the BF could have shared. Loved the bread! I highly recommend...

Service was atrocious and non-existent for asking for the tip up front, 25% of course. If you go here, stick to the rule of "If I order standing up I'm not tipping." We tipped well and it did not ensure good or prompt service at all. I wish I could have taken back my tip after the lousy meal and experience. When we ordered I asked for two cups of ice water to fill our bottles and she brought us one and said she couldn't bring another. She also made us come pickup our food but brought others theirs. It was as if after 5 minutes she forgot who ordered what. Mind you, we were the only couple in here when we arrived, a small group of 4 outside, no one inside. We had three groups come in after us with about 10 people total. The girl taking orders at the counter acted as if any requests were a complete inconvenience to her in an empty restaurant. We ordered two sandwiches, an Italian and a custom gluten-free sub. The Italian was the worst Italian sandwich I have ever had in my life. The pickled onions and fresh meats were good, but the giant chunks of mozzarella and missing oils, vinegar and peppers really stood out as making it incomplete. It was not toasted at all. The gluten free sub was super dry and part of it inedible. We ordered a large side of jalapeño popper potato salad....no idea why it was called that...there wasn't a single jalapeño in it and I assumed some type of cream cheese...it was just really bad potato salad, we fed most of it to the seagulls with the super dry parts of the gluten-free sub. We had to go up and ask for additional silverware and napkins...when we picked up our food we got one spoon and nothing else. Again, asking for napkins and another spoon seemed like a huge hassle for the staff. When we were done we weren't sure if this was a "clean up after yourself" place or not so we bussed our own table...what was the tip for again? Anyways, bad experience. Terrible parking lot for motorcycles as it's mostly deep gravel. We won't be back. read more

So we met this guy Nick at a local fish market last year. While standing around, we struck up a conversation about the local fish and he was very informative about what to buy and how to prepare it. He was there just shopping for himself. He let us know he owned a place called Pamlico Deli and that he did a weekly Thursday Wine and Dinner Night and that he'd love it if we came by. We were on the tail end of our trip and couldn't make it then but put it on our list for this year's stay. So glad we did. Nick does different themes as we found out, like Surf and Turf night, Italian night, Prime Rib night, etc. We came for Barbeque night. With that we got a very tasty BBQ Buffet paired with I believe 5-6 well thought out wine tastings. Everything was exceptional including the folks we sat with. Just a very welcoming place and it was great to meet some people and get their perspective on what makes this part of the OBX special to them. Prior to the dinner, Nick did an introduction to explain the wine choices for the night. With my wife and I being complete amateurs at wine tasting, he made us feel very comfortable about how it works. He also told us about some of his personal life and the charitable work that his business does especially for the HIFC, which supports local Breast Cancer awareness. There were opportunities to help contribute such as a raffle and a silent auction. Our favorite menu items were the Jalapeno Sausage, Brisket and Potato Salad and the Carrot Cake was the best we've had. Our favorite tasting was the Rose. That being said, everything else was exceptional. Nick, if you are reading this, just want you to know how comfortable you and your fantastic staff made us feel and what a great place you have. We are looking forward to making this part of our annual trips there. read more

We love the Pamlico Deli. We stopped in early in the week for deli sandwiches. All the items are fresh great portions and delicious. They have a side area where you can enjoy wine and select draft beers. The ambiance is warm and inviting. We stopped back later that week for Nick's special Thursday dinner. Reservation only but a great dinner paired with Nick's choice of wine tasting. This past week we enjoyed the Prime rib and it was excellent. Bottom line if you are looking for a great deli sandwich this is the place. read more

We came on a wine tasting night. The dinner was sold out (make reservations!) but we were able to have a spot on the couches and enjoyed the tasting. The wines were delicious and so was the charcuterie board. We bought 4 bottles to take home with us. read more

An absolutely wonderful deli with fresh and very flavorful meats and cheeses. House made mozzarella is particularly good. Great vibe and wonderful patio. Great selection of curated beers on tap and some Ocracoke brewing crowlers to boot. Cake can coffee were also good.! Outstanding service; we felt like family. read more

Pamlico Deli - Delis Near Me - Frisco, North Carolina

How long does it take for two sandwiches? At Pamlico deli it's 30 minutes. It wasn't overly busy. Me and a few other customers standing and patiently waiting. They had two employees making sandwiches and two employees to watch. I'm thinking their new slogan could be wait 30 for a $15 sandwich. It would have been faster for me to go to the supermarket and buy the ingredients and made the sandwich myself. read more

Best lunch spot on Hatteras Island! Been here countless times and each time they seem the raise the bar even higher. Definitely come here if you are hungry! read more

Delicious and eclectic...gourmet deli by day, BBQ or wine tasting dinners by night. The Dani is our favorite sub, best served with spicy dill pickle kettle chips IMO. (They also offer gluten free sub rolls...not sliced bread or a bun...a true sub that's nearly a double serving.) Made to order and they will bring to your table or you can carry out. read more

Great place to stop and eat in or take deli sandwiched and salads to your beach house or to the beach. As for the food: top quality ingredients, on premise roasting in a see through kitchen makes for scrumptious deli sandwiched, very generous portions. To finish it off we got a Canoli done just right. There are also bear and wine offered if you're in the mood. Owners are welcoming and service is very friendly. Must try! read more

Great variety of sandwiches; service was great and gluten free bread was wonderful. Nice clean restaurant with lots of wine to choose from.

This place is absolutely wonderful. From the delicious deli sandwiches to the specialty Thursday dinner pairings with wine (reservation only), this place does not disappoint. Nick is super friendly and the ladies that serve the wine are personable and really know their stuff. Food has always been top notch and we love all the beautiful artwork on the walls from a local artist. They often have live music too which adds a nice touch to the dining area. If it's nice outside, you can eat on the porch. They're located across the street from the Frisco campground. read more

A few months ago we were staying on Ocracoke and took a short little exciting day trip up to Hatteras. After taking in the sights and seeing the lighthouse we were on our way back to the ferry and a little hungry. Pamlico Deli was the first thing we saw so we pulled in! It was definitely in that dead time between lunch and dinner so I was not worried that the parking lot was relatively sparse, but I was a little surprised that there was no one in the deli except for the two employees! They were very quick to offer to help us and read through a few of the options on the menu for us. They were out of a few of the options (our fault with our timing) but were able to offer some suggestions of substitutions. We ordered a Reuben and a basic Smoked Turkey and Provolone sandwich, then sat back and relaxed at a large table inside. I really liked the atmosphere. It is nothing fancy, but just a nice space to sit back and relax. They also offer many wine options and had some small plates you could share with wine, I think it would be a great place to sip on some wine and wind down from the day. Very soon after our food was ready and we dug in. It was probably one of the better sandwiches I have had in a long time and have certainly thought about it since wishing I could have another. Both were great, but the smoked turkey really set that sandwich apart! It had a very distinctive flavor over your typical roasted turkey breast. I should also mention they were both VERY large. We each ate half of our sandwiches and saved the rest to take to the beach the next day! Pamlico Deli is a fantastic spot to relax and grab a bite or even to grab to go if you are headed to the beach to to get on the ferry! read more

Friendly staff, outstanding sandwiches Must have deserts This will be our 'go to' place!! read more

Wanted to get an easy meal to bring back to the hotel, so we stopped here. They made us a personalized charcuterie board, which was really good. The interior of this place is very nice and not at all deli-like, so it would be a great place to eat in as well. Large wine selection and local beer selection. Friendly service. Slightly pricey. Try it! read more

We stopped in for lunch and hear they have wine tastings and dinners as well. My sandwich was ok, but my friends, the Ruben was amazing. I would have that next time read more

Love love love Pamlico Deli, sandwiches are amazing. C&C is my favorite! Wine nights are incredible! If you are in the area, this place is a must stop! read more

If you are visiting Hatteras Island I can't recommend enough Pamlico Deli! You walk in and the smell literally consumes you. We knew at first sniff this was an outstanding decision. We met Sam (I think that was his name!), the owner who visited with us, asked where we were from and was generally incredibly friendly. He let us know they make homemade mozzarella daily (?!?!?!), smoke their own turkey, and have the best Reuben around. We were picking up sandwiches to take to the beach, otherwise we would have stayed for a beer or glass of wine, and apparently they have wine tastings on Thursday night (what's not to love?). My husband had the Italian and I tried the Hwy 12, minus banana peppers. We threw these in our cooler and headed to Frisco Beach. A couple of hours later we dug in, and I can confidently say this is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. The bread was incredible. The aioli was perfection. The jalapeño cheese added the perfect kick! My husband said his Italian sandwich was second only to Osteria All'antico Vinaio in Florence (literally the best sandwich shop in Florence/All of Italy). If you're in town stop and give this spot a try. I'm fairly certain we'll stop there again for our beach lunch tomorrow! Thanks Sam! You have two huge fans in Kansas City! read more

Rude owners. We called to check if they were open, we get there and they refused us service. If you're not a local during off season don't bother. His snarky "see you in February" was what did it for me. Absolute jackass. read more

After hanging out on Hatteras beach you work up an appetite. This is a wonderful sandwich shop. Fresh cut deli meat. Sandwiches made the way you like. Plenty of food to even share. read more

Holy smokes this is an excellent deli. Fresh Mozzarella, and and assortment of nice meats and cheeses. We had both sandwiches and a charcuterie board during our winter vacation. Bonus they are open in the winter! Thank you! We will be back. read more

Oh man this place is good and the menu is extensive! One sandwich provides two meals for me so I'm not sure I'll ever make it through the menu. Especially when I'm absolutely stuck on the Italian! It's soooooo good! The pickled red onions and homemade mozzarella are just over the top!!! I've also had the Turkey bacon and Brie sandwich. Can't recall the name! The baked potato salad is probably my favorite potato salad ever! The owner is super nice as well as the rest of the crew! If I had one tiny complaint it would be the overly generous slather of Mayo. So much Mayo! But that's probably just a personal issue. I have to remember to say easy on the Mayo but the sandwiches are so good I don't even care that much. read more

Our favorite place to eat on HI! The food is great and the staff is fabulous. Don't be fooled by the name deli. It's so much more.

Ok so this place is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere that they created is like your living room. Lots of locals it that tells you anything. Sandwiches are all awesome with fresh high quality ingredients. Don't miss wine nights! Truly an underrated gem! Don't pass by it. read more

Looking for great ferry food for the trip to Ocracoke? Stop in or call ahead for great fresh sandwiches or salads. Such a treat- fresh mozzarella cheese, great meats, and delicious vegatables!

Pamlico Deli - Italian sandwich - ok half is already gone :) - Delis Near Me - Frisco, North Carolina

We stumbled on the Pamlico Deli on our first full day in Hatteras, after driving around to discover that all the other lunch places had closed at two. We were the only customers, which was not surprising considering the time of year and the fact that they had a hurricane (Dorian) come through 10 days before. My wife and I chatted with the staff for a bit, finally ordering our sandwiches as well as a piece of cheesecake and half a pound of dill pickle pasta salad. The pasta salad was, as the server described, "strangely delicious." The sandwiches came out just after we finished the pasta salad, wrapped in the traditional butcher paper, and twice as big as expected! My wife had the Nicholas, and I picked the Soprano. They were stuffed with meat, cheese, and toppings and both were incredibly delicious. My wife and I are both big eaters, but we agreed we had to wrap the second half of the sandwiches up and save them for dinner. I would strongly recommend this deli, and we will visit again! read more

Traveling through to the ferry and stopped for lunch. I'm not a big deli person but this was amazing! Service was fast and friendly. They have their own designer sandwiches or you can build your own. I had a roast beef sandwich and my sisters had the Italian. Both were toasted perfectly. We also had a yummy cannoli that was crunchy and full of delicious chocolate chip cream! read more

Best Italian I ever had! They suggested to get it warm with banana peppers. Also got the C&C which was also delicious. Highly recommend!!! Will be back read more

Best deli sandwich we've had in years! I had the Soprano and my wife had the caprese with bacon. They actually make their mozzarella in-house and it's fantastic. Both sandwiches were so big we have leftovers for tomorrow. Plus the friendliest people behind the counter. If you're in the area, this is a perfect place to stop for lunch. read more

The cleanliness of the deli was the first thing I noticed. Lots of great light, large tables, and couches greet you. The service was top notch. Ask what their favorites are. I went with the C&C. read more

Hubba Hubba!!!! Ran into Pamlico for a sammie and fell in love. Got fantastic sandwiches and a bottle of Rose' prosecco recommended by the owner. He tucked a Christmas catering menu in our bag and we decided to order (at 2pm Dec 24th!) They ended up staying late for us (THANK YOU) to fill our order of Prime Rib, Baked Brie, Cornbread Stuffing, and bread Pudding. I'm writing this review as I sit at their little wine bar and the owner serves us a little dessert treat while we wait (never-mind WE'RE keeping HIM late). We haven't eaten this Christmas Eve dinner but I'm CERTAIN it will be a dream! What an amazing little shop. Packed and serving a very fine calibre of product! Thanks for showing us a great time in OBX! read more

Stopped in here while looking for a grab-and-go lunch for two. My boyfriend and I split the Soprano. The family running the deli was great - super friendly during COVID, and the very nice lady working front of house was following full safety protocol. The half Soprano was very filling, tasting close to the muffuletta from New Orleans without being overpowering with the olive salad. I loved the bread - it definitely tasted super fresh! Took us about 10 minutes around lunchtime to get our sandwich, and they had some great local brews on tap. I also picked up a tub of fresh pimento cheese, something a Northeasterner like me had never had, and it was great as a dip as well as a sandwich addition to make at home. Looking forward to the wine tastings next season when socializing (a little more) can hopefully return to normal. read more

Excellent food, super nice people! The only drawback was the service was on the slower side, but what do you expect when you get fresh sandwiches. We ordered 4 sandwiches and it took about 30 minutes, but in the process I was even called back to the kitchen to choose an alternate meat because they had run out of the turkey I ordered - much appreciated! The sandwiches were robust, delicious, and all of the ingredients were very fresh. If you like Ruebens, recommended. read more

Wow - best deli outside of NYC I have ever been to. Super fresh food. Got the Italian sandwich and it had slabs of fresh mozzarella. Highly recommended. read more

This place is brand new and a definite must. The sandwiches were packed full of meat and cheese. Bread and veggies fresh. Owners are very nice. We we're excited to hear we were there first carry out order. We took our food to the beach for our family and all 10 of us give this place a 10 out of 10. We will absolutely be back!! read more

Very good subs, a bit pricey but good quality and they are huge! One will feed 2 adults!

A great find. Sandwiches are excellent and loaded with quality fresh ingredients. The menu selections are creative and as delicious as they are described. We were part of the party who made the first take out order. We've returned for another taste; and recommended this great new deli to others. read more

Stopped by for something to eat after arriving in town. How could I be so lucky. I had the nicholas sandwich. I swear that was the best sandwich that I've ever had. Do yourself a favor, go there. They had so much food I wanted to try. The deli case had a loaded potato salad that looked awesome. They had steaks available that looked amazing, looked like the best cuts I have ever seen. They had some great beers too. read more
