I was recently in Lewis, DE this past Monday for my Aunt's Funeral and was searching for a company to cater a luncheon we were hosting afterwards in her home. I emailed Patty's Deli and I received a call back from Patty within minutes. She mentioned she was closed Sunday and Monday but she would call her staff to see if they could help us out. Well, not only did they provide the most delicious wraps, homemade salads, and a variety of scrumptious desserts, she delivered it all and set it up for us while we were at the Funeral. This service was "Above and Beyond" anything we could have ever expected and we will be forever grateful for her professionalism, and kindness during this very difficult time. I would highly recommend Patty's Deli for all of your affairs! With many blessings to Patty and her amazing staff, The von Frank Family read more

I have never had a sub that didn't leave a drop of it's existence on the paper wrap. What does this mean? A prosciutto, fresh mozzarella with roasted peppers sub should be a bit sloppy but only if the contents are sufficient. The prosciutto was good, the bread was good but the fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers were sparse. The cheese wasn't even a full slice? The roasted peppers were small sliced pieces scattered on the sandwich. My photo is of my second half. When I asked for napkins expecting my sandwich to be a bit messy I was told in my bag. So I am unbagging my purchase and there is one napkin, just one. I unwrapped my sandwich with high expectations of being just what I was craving- bam! Disappointed at the least, it was dry even with the olive oil on it. Opened up the second half and saw why! This is considered a gourmet Italian deli. That one napkin, if I used half of it was a lot! The price for this sandwich was $15.75. (4/14/26) Oh and the bottled Herbal Mint tea for $4.50 was tasteless hardly any mint flavor. To be fair, this is a third party's product. read more

Lovely groumet deli with a very large menu and a lot of specialty products like fancy Irish potato chips, which I didn't even know that was a thing! We had Italian sandwiches which were really good, and they even put my fellas pork and broccoli rabe sandwich as wrap, so extra points for that. Prices are in line with what you would expect from a groumet store. There is even a convient picnic table outside where you can eat. read more

Mixed reviews. First time our Italian hogie and chicken salad sandwich were wonderful- 5 stars, second time phone order and when we got home it was all wrong, even though the person was new not sure how the order was so wrong . Didn't taste bad but just not what we wanted. 3 stars Third time 2 cheese steak hogies- lettuce tomato raw onion and mayo- meat was very very overcooked and there was barely any lettuce etc in the roll. 1 Star. I will write it off to new and growing pains- the owners are wonderful, I'm just concerned that poor cooks can hurt their business read more

I'm embarrassed that I never paid attention to this spot...it's a hidden treasure of goodies. They carry standard and more gourmet salads like basic tuna and chicken, but also have chicken salad with apples and currants (tasty, mild, I may add s&p). They carry homemade potato salad (heavy mustard flavor, delicious), black bean salsa (very flavorful!), fusilli green pea/asparagus salad (a little too mild for me), an Asian radish salad, etc. They sell sandwiches, cheesesteaks, & I will be trying their roasted pork & broccoli rabe hoagie! They sell fancier bottled drinks and have a soda fountain. They sell gourmet olives, cheese spreads, etc. They also have spreads, jam, mustards, dip mixes, gourmet cherries, popcorn/toppings, oh, and homemade cookies. Patty was friendly and helpful. I will be back! read more

Hands down the best sub/sandwiches in the Lewes area I would give a 9 out of 10. My husband got the steak cheesesteak and I got the chicken cheesesteak both were amazing. Good size and good portion, the bread is perfect. They made everything fresh, looks like a great selection of cheeses, and the customer service was outstanding. We can't wait to try their other sandwiches. read more

I don't know what's better, the food or the service. Can't recommend this place any higher. Stop by!!

Such a great sandwich shop! High quality ingredients, awesome soft/seeded sun rolls, and really inventive preparations. We just enjoyed a perfectly executed overstuffed chicken cheese steak! Keep up the great work Patty and team! read more

Went to their new location which is more convenient for me. Order an Italian sub with L,T,O and sweet pepper,EVOO. The sandwich was really good and the sesame sub roll was fresh. Definitely will repeat. read more

The best sandwich spot in Delaware. Coming from Philly I was skeptical of any place offering a cheesesteak in Sussex County but after tasting the breakfast cheesesteak I honestly prefer Patty's over any Philly spot. The panini of the day never fails and my favorite non cheesesteak item is Ted's Italian. Also if your lucky enough to visit while they have chicken pot pie I'd buy as many as you can. The pasta salad and everything else in their deli case won't disappoint either. Patty and her crew are so nice and always there making sure everything you have is delicious. P.S. don't forget about Doug's delicious pastries. read more

Everything I've ever gotten from Patty's had been fantastic. We order it for lunch at my workplace quite often and everyone raves about their meal. read more

when you need to go to DMV . 1. Go to Patty's site: www.pattysdeli.net (hit on menu ), move to bottom of screen and you will find Patty's daily specials , or go to Facebook. 2. Call your order in because at lunch it's a 20 minute wait . 3. You know there's nowhere to sit and eat so it's always to go. I got the Composed salad for $12.99 , a composed salad basically means it's arranged rather than tossed. The salad was AWESOME house greens with grilled tenderloin of beef, roasted red skin potatoes, blue cheese crumble, grilled red onions, and tomatoes. Thankfully the house vinaigrette was on the side and thankfully they forgot to put carrots in., the special sheets description, mentioned carrots ( high carbs which consist mostly of sugar) in the salad but they weren't there. The vinaigrette wasn't nice it lacked any flavor and not sure of the quality of oil and vinegar used. A vinaigrette is a very basic dressing. Perhaps fresh herbs, tahini honey, lemon , orange or mustard added to the vinaigrette., in order to balance the acidity add something sweet honey/syrup. Just saying . I put an Asian twist on this salad with a sesame-ginger dressing that knocked my socks and shoes off. I still feel Patty's lives up to being a gourmet deli read more

Love their Better Cheddar and Crisps. So delicious and addicting! Order ahead as they don't make it everyday.

Truest one bite review I can give: "yea I'm going back to this place" So this place caught my eye for one thing on the menu, and I went for one thing only: Hot Roast pork with broccoli rabe. The sandwich if done right is the best sandwich you can ever have, and being so far from a famous spot in Philly it can be hard to find yourself a good one in Southern Delaware. Well fear not folks, Patty's Has done this sandwich right. A solid seeded baguette does the job of soaking in the meat juices from the pork, which is pulled very nicely. The sharp provolone is melted perfectly to the meat, and the broccoli rabe still has a nice crunch. Now that I think about it, roast pork sandwiches may be the only time in my life I've eaten broccoli rabe. There was a great spice to the sandwich, that was unexpected, but worked really well. One bite in I wish I ordered two, but in all honesty the sandwich is a perfectly good size. So the deli is a small deli, with picnic table outside for eating, and very nice and friendly atmosphere. They have daily specials, a nice selection of salads, and a wonderful selection of cheeses, which my wife will send me back for. Now while I have only had the Roast Pork, if anything else they serve comes close to that level, this is a place that everyone should frequent, A LOT! And I was waited on by Patty, which is just nice to see someone put that kind of pride and work into their business. Keep up the good work, I'll definitely be back. read more

My wife and I had salads with 3 scoops of toppings. We really enjoyed this salad. Very tasty. Had shrimp, beets and quinoa as our 3 scoops. I'll be back for sure. Only pain is the price $18/salad. read more

Service was good, the food was prepared fresh and quick, and everything was tasty. I like that they have a nice little shop of local honeys, flavored salts, pretzels, and a few other odds and ends. They have an excellent variety of cheeses, too. It has a very artisinal vibe. As much as I hate to say it, I was not wowed by the food. I had one of the daily specials; a roast beef panini. While flavorful, I can't put my finger on it but it felt like it was missing something. I don't see myself going out of my way to get it again. My honey had the chili, which--again--while good, was nothing to write home about. Still, the food is better and most likely healthier and prepared with fresher ingredients than what you would get at a fast food joint. I appreciate what they provide, and I wouldn't say no to eating here again, but I would not plan my route around it. Be aware, the only seating is a single picnic table outside, so this may be best if you are getting your order to go. Also, if you need a restroom, they do not have one for the public. read more

Thumbs up for Patty's... Stopped here for a late lunch after doing my DMV stop down the road. Friendly staff, fast service and nice sandwich. I had a roasted veggie on a baguette and it was good stuff. No inside seating but there was a picnic table outside. Will return next visit to Geotown. -Enjoy read more

Patty's lives up to their great reputation ! Picked up sandwiches on way to beach and they were great! Definitely recommend and will return!

Wow- the owner acts like a dictator. Nasty, rude and honestly low class. When you ask one question about the service that she doesn't like, she becomes a tyrant. She probably lost her second business in Lewes because no one was willing to put up with her attitude or bad service. Don't waste your time and give your money to someone who is not nice....at all. Pathetic. Don't bother. read more

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. The food is amazing. I always get the shrimp salad on a seeded French roll and it is consistent, fresh and delish. I wish they had a location in Bethany! read more

We have sampled Patty's food on more than one occasion. Each time we have it, we are more and more impressed. Today, I had the hot roast pork sub with sharp provolone and brocolli rab. She had a roast beef sub with boursin cheese lettuce and tomato. We also purchased two different soft cheeses, the port wine and the almond cheddar and a piece of Tellegio. We were sorry to discover tomorrow is their last day in Georgetown, but delighted to know they are opening up in Lewes, De. How blessed are we? read more

The loss of Star comes from a long wait I don't understand as to why it occurred, however I ordered Debs Chicken Salad on a seeded baguette and it was AMAZING! So fresh and tasty! read more

Amazing sandwiches & wonderful sides. Any questions? Patty's is a small gourmet deli tucked at the juncture of S. Bedford & Zoar Roads. Stop on your way to the beach or whenever you're near Georgetown, DE cause what you'll discover are some "to die" for sandwiches. How about Prosciutto, mozzarella, and red peppers on an amazingly yummy seeded baguette?! And while your at it, treat yourself to some truly great potato salad (reminded me of Moms :o). Your tummy will be SO very happy!! Oops, did I mention amazing service? We eyed their wonderful shrimp salad. Huge chunks of shrimp bound with just a touch of mayo & celery. We didn't know if we'd be able to really enjoy this, given the amount of food we'd already ordered, so we passed. Well the staff bagged a sample for us!! And PEOPLE, this is really worth getting. Yes, a bit pricey, but oh so very good!! Thanks Patty's for a scrumptious lunch!! Special Note: only one outside picnic table to eat at, but don't be deterred. Just take this amazing goodness and munch in your car!! read more

I had a been to a birthday party in July 2021....asked who had done the catering....Later in October I had a small party and called Patty's. The food was absolutely perfect and the customer service was great!!! I highly recommend Patty's in Lewes Delaware! read more

Driving through southern Delaware is not something our family does very often, and when we eat, we like to make it an experience. Needless to say, Patty's was quite the experience. The food is gourmet casual with flavor combinations both traditional and creative. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, from the eight-year old to the parents. Apart from the food, however, the staff was all welcoming and very kind. They even comped us a free piece of DELICIOUS bread pudding! Overall, our lunch was one we won't soon forget, we all highly recommend Patty's Deli! read more

Best Italian sub you can find since Frankie's on Union St in Wilmington closed. The roll and the meats that they use are phenomenal. On Thursdays, order early and get their cheeseburger. Every Thursday it seems they sell out by 12-1230 and these are some of the best burgers. Recently I had the chicken salad wrap and that too was good. A liquor store, oak creek I believe, does a wine tasting every Friday and Pattys cheese and some of their foods will be there as a snack. I highly recommend going just to taste the great food from Pattys. read more

I ordered two sandwiches. There were only a couple of people ahead of us, so I didn't think much of the wait. Twenty-five minutes later, I asked about our sandwiches and the woman behind the counter, "Patty" got snipetty with me to explain how busy they were. She also argued that it was not 25 mins but honestly she had no idea how long we were waiting. The sandwiches were average but the service was poor. I regard service as important as the meal read more

What a great discovery. This is the type of place we love to find just driving through an area. We were on a food tour jumping over from Cape May to Lewes DE and on our way to VA beach when we drove right by 16 Mile brewery (another great find) just up the road from here. They had a little promo card for this place and their cheeses on the bar. The bartender thought they might be closed already (it was past 5 pm) but we were delighted to see the OPEN light on in the window as we approached. We didn't have sandwiches as we had just eaten but picked up a variety of snacks, home make cookies and cheeses for the remainder of our travels. Just an amazing selection of cheeses and the woman who helped us was quick to offer a taste of whatever we wanted to try, to make great selections for something similar to what we liked and to just make us feel totally at home. Cheeses like this can be quite expensive (up to $28/lb) but worth it to get some very unusual tastes like lemon or mango infused goat cheese, etc. We left there questioning how they can make a go of the business in such a remote area and then questioning our own prejudices about the willingness of people everywhere to pay for a quality product. P.S. don't be mislead by the YELP map. The store is actually a little further south of their marker, in the crook of the V formed by S Bedford and Zoar Rd. read more

The only thing holding back a 5th star from this friendly, creative, scrumptious restaurant is inside seating! We ate on the picnic table outside and it worked but the flies were a bit annoying. I had a roast beef and coleslaw sandwich on pumpernickel and rye bread which was delish! The homemade tortilla chips are addictive! read more

Patty's is a great place to grab a quick, fresh lunch in Georgetown. It's take out only, and it's extremely popular, so it's a good idea to order ahead (although they move quickly if you order at the counter). Patty's has a wide variety of sandwiches and salads, and also has some yummy baked goods. I hear the chocolate chip cookies are fantastic, but I haven't been able to make it there before they've sold out. Instead of a cookie, I had a brownie, which was delicious! read more

What a great find! I was traveling through this part of Delaware on business and needed a spot to grab a quick lunch before a meeting.

Make sure you have time. Waited over 30 minutes for 2 sandwiches. Steak sandwich was extremely greasy and couldn't finish. Other sandwich was average at best. I noted during my extensive 30 minute wait that employees don't use gloves and don't regularly wash their hands. Germophobes definitely beware. read more

Excellent sandwiches, with homemade bread and lots of ingredients for fixings. They also have a great selection of cheese and sides to go with your sandwich, many also made there. Really you can't go wrong :) All the sandwiches look good! read more

Was so looking forward to this place. The food sounds great. Rushed there after a business appt because I needed to use restroom... badly. When I arrived with my co-worker, I noticed this was more of a take-out place. We are on the road, so needed a place to sit but happily, there is a picnic table outside and nice weather. I was very disappointed when I went inside and was told there was no bathroom! Patrons can't be expected to eat without at least washing their hands!! Where does the lady who work there go to the bathroom? Does she NOT wash her hands before preparing food. Needless to say we had to leave because I had to use the restroom! Very unfortunate for them because I order loads of food for my clients often and was looking forward to finding a new source. :( read more
