Definitely a place to stop for a sandwich in Clayton. A bit of a drive from Raleigh, but it's worth a trip. Friendly, locals seem to really like it which is always a good sign. Got a half Philly Cheesesteak, with provolone. The roll was excellent, the sandwich very good. A small five-star Deli for North Carolina. read more

Been a couple of years so decided to stop in. Menu had changed and there is now breakfast all day. Open 8 to 4 six days weekly. Enjoyed my Mushroom philly, loved the potato salad, thought the chocolate mousse pie was average. They were busy today so things must be going well. Next time I will get my sub roll toasted to add some crunch to the experience. read more

Ordered the "mad mushroom" Philly cheesesteak. It was delicious! The shaved ribeye makes a difference because you can taste the quality. I will be back to try different menu items. If you are from up North, it is not your typical deli, where you walk in and see different deli meats and options displayed, and different bagels with cream cheese assortments. On the other hand, the options they do have a are great. Definitely recommend! read more

We stopped in for lunch and had a chicken mushroom cheese steak, a side salad, and a French dip with fries. The sandwiches and sides were delicious, and truly tasted like authentic Philly sandwiches. It is a great gem of a deli! read more

No napkins, no cutlery even though we ordered pasta salad, was a decent pasta salad. Not sure how we were expected to eat it. The bacon cheese fries are wrapped in tin foil, and the cheese is melted to the foil, so the fries were basically plain. We ordered the saks Cuban, which was beyond dry. Description says mustard but there was NOTHING on this sandwich. We also ordered the Philly and it was beyond dry. Maybe we got a new chef because all the reviews showed amazing but we will never order here again. read more

Great food, quick service! We both had the Reuben and loved it. The server was very courteous and made me a fresh cup of coffee -at 1:45 in the afternoon. read more

Saks is in a little corner of Clayton. Today was my first visit. It's the kind of place you can enjoy the food and atmosphere while chatting with your friends and neighbors. The food was very good, moderately priced and served warm. My bacon was cooked exactly right. You definitely need to visit if you're a Philly fans because this is where your homies will come! read more

This was my first time trying this place and it was amazing. I took home a Philly cheesesteak which was authentic (I lived in Philly), and the pastrami sandwich was amazing. I will definitely be back! read more

The difference between Saks Deli and other places is the quality of ingredients. You can literally taste every ingredient and it's better than what you grown accustomed to. Also, small details like tomatoes sliced to 3/16" thick, malt vinegar, real deli mustard, etc. No cookie cutter food here. Orders are accurate and prepared with care. Best deli in the area. read more

Friendly staff,quick service and good food. First time visiting as its in a shopping center and somewhat hidden. I will definitely be back to check out other menu items. read more

Sak's Deli - Corn Beef Ruben with pasta salad. - Delis Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

Was in the area on a Saturday afternoon and decided to give Sak's a try. Walked into a small dining area and was greeted right away. This is a full service business. The decor is sandwich shop style with various local food items for sale on shelves against one wall. Our drink order was taken immediately which is all bottled/canned items. The menu is brought up on a smart device or a pad offered by establishment. My wife ordered the philly mushroom cheesesteak and I the spicy cold hoagie. The philly had a good amount of beef and mushroom. My hoagie had an adequate amount of meat, cheese, lettuce, onion and tomato. I was surprised the hoagie came dry with no mayo, mustard or oil. When I asked for some mayo there was no problem. Each of our orders came with a side which my wife asked for potato salad and I got macaroni salad. Both were ok. I thought the value for what was recieved is a little high. The young lady serving us was pleasant. When we received the bill I see a Service Fee charge for 92 cents. I did not debate it, paid, left a tip and walked out. Do not plan on returning. read more

Great service, quick and good food. I didn't know this place was back here but its great and highly recommend. Haven was an amazing server kept checking up on us and refilling our drinks! read more

I brought my kid there yesterday and let me just say that $13-$14 for a Philly cheesesteak in my opinion is ridiculous. I ordered a side of pasta salad and it came in a small little 2-3 ounce ramekin. For that price don't be so cheap. I lived up north for years and this is nothing like it. The bread was stale and it wasn't even toasted. The steak tasted like that frozen steak-ums you buy and you can make at your home. Not my thing, I think they can do better. If it was super tasty, I wouldn't have a problem paying whatever they wanted but it wasn't worth it. read more

Great Philly Cheesesteaks especially if you like white American cheese on them. Good service/ Oh and the rolls are great also/ read more

Clayton, NC location. Solid breakfast for a deli! I ordered the Monte Cristo, which was fantastic. Wife got a sausage and cheese omelette and really enjoyed it. I honestly wasn't a fan of the hash browns, which is all that made this review a 4 instead of a 5. They had somewhat of an odd, undercooked texture. Would definitely return, though. Looking forward to trying the lunch menu, too! Tracy was an awesome server! read more

Sak's Deli - 6" Philly Cheese Steak (Half) - Delis Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

I wish I had written this review sooner: Sak's is a hidden gem of a place. The sandwiches are always on point; I consider myself a connoisseur of Reubens, and the Sak's version is simply outstanding. Ditto the Cheesesteaks, the Italian hoagie, and all the rest. Service is always friendly and prompt. The place is small but inviting and feels like a family-owned and operated local place should. It's so much better than any franchise sandwich place in the area. Makes me feel good to support local small business! read more

I don't have much to say except that was an EXCELLENT sandwich! I wish I lived in town, because if I did, I'd be eating here once a week for sure! read more

Real Deli Food Sak's offers a wide assortment of authentic deli items from Breakfast (served all day) to Salads to Sandwiches to Desserts (fresh-made daily). The atmosphere is friendly, laid-back and comfortable. We sampled the Reuben (generous pile of tasty, tender corn-beef topped with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and a zesty mustard sauce on marbled rye bread); the Chicken Philly Sub (super soft hoagie roll filled to the brim with savory chicken and topped with chili) and Potato Salad (very tasty). Portions were generous and prices reasonable. You should give Sak's a try. read more

This place is a GEM!! I'm so happy that my boyfriend and I decided to have lunch here on Saturday!! We had to pick up my car from the Chevy dealership, and I suggested to stop here on the way out to Wendell. I picked Saks because of all the amazing Yelp reviews. Upon walking into this establishment, we were greeted by our waitress, who turned out to be one of the owners; her husband is the cook. We were the first customers of the day, since they just opened, but not for long! Lol. This place is so cute and welcoming!! I loved the decor. You can dine in, or get carryout. We decided to dine in. After reviewing the menu in advance, I had my heart set on a chicken cheesesteak.....BUT my eyes caught a glimpse of the specials and I had to change my mind!! The specials were fish or grilled shrimp tacos with Sriracha fries. I got the shrimp tacos and a spiked seltzer water. My boyfriend ordered half of the Italian sub and fries. I was nervous about the Sriracha fries being too spicy, but the wonderful waitress/owner said that they just had a nice kick, so I went with her recommendation. Our food was delivered to our table pretty quickly. I was so excited to try my shrimp tacos!! They were stuffed with chopped up shrimp, in tortillas that were held together with gooey pimento cheese, and they were topped with a delicious pico de gallo and slaw. OMG, these tacos were soooooooooo packed with shrimp!! I was almost full after eating (1) taco. But I ate both of my tacos and my fries!! Lol. These tacos and fries were AMAZING. My boyfriend's Italian sub (I took a picture of this beauty, wait till you see it - keep in mind, this is only HALF of a sub!!) was beautiful. I don't know how else to describe it. My boyfriend is an Italian sub "snob" since he used to work for a pizza joint in his teens, and he made awesome Italian subs that he still craves to this day. He said that Saks Italian sub was one of the best he's ever had. He loved the bread, and the chopped up yellow peppers were a very nice touch. He said it was just delicious and very gourmet. Saks is definitely going to be my "I have to eat here" restaurant whenever I'm in Clayton. The owners are super cool and sweet, and they care about their customers and the food. I wish I could give them more than five stars! read more

Delicious food and friendly service! Would absolutely recommend trying if you are in the Garner/Clayton area! Small and quaint.

Quaint little deli in Clayton, NC! The food and service were great. My boyfriend and I stopped in here to try something new after doing a hike nearby, and he loved that they served breakfast all day! Our waitress was so nice and attentive while also allowing us space to enjoy our meal. read more

Zero stars for advertising that your are open until 8 and we arrive at 6:40 and you are closed .

The subs were amazing and came out quickly! Recommend getting the fries, very different from anywhere else! Lots of options for food, drinks, and sides! read more

I had my first experience visiting on a Friday afternoon. The staff was delightful and kept my wife and me engaged in conversation with suggestions (honest ones he told me not to buy a spread I was going to purchase), food picks, and the company History. It took maybe 15 minutes to have our order ready. The owner gave my wife and me free desserts and seasoning to try. We ordered the spicy Italian sub (not spicy at all, but good and filling!) and packaged the oil, vinegar, and dressing on the side to keep the sub from getting soggy. I ordered the antipasto side and pasta salad. The pasta salad was ok, but when I added a bit of pepper and Italian dressing, it was delicious. The antipasto was mine and very filling as a protein-rich side. The sub was an all-day meal. My wife ordered the veggie cheesesteak, and she enjoyed it as well. The cheesecake was perfect, not tart as most are. The chicane cake was very rich and moist. I'm not a massive fan of chocolate, but I enjoyed it, minus all the icing on the outside of the cake. The cookies were also delicious. read more

The food is hit or miss here. The last order I got to go, they threw my fries in this small bag and they were all laying at the bottom. I just threw them away. The panini's are usually good. I recommend wrapping the fries in paper instead of throwing them in the bottom of the bag. read more

Great food! I absolutely love the steak and cheese subs but everything is good. So happy to have this in my neighborhood.

Stopped by on the way back from running some errands. We called ahead for steak and cheese sandwiches and ate them at the table out front. The lady at the counter was super friendly and helpful, while the were very good - the winners were the chips and fries - they were oh so good. read more

I really wanted a corn beef sandwich today! My family doesn't like corn beef so I thought this would be a good alternative to homemade corn beef brisket. It wasn't. It was dry, little meat for $15 sandwich ( yeah no sides just the sandwich.) the bread is good and that was pretty much all I could taste. The corn beef was tough and dry. There was only a couple small pieces in the center of the bread. Small piece of cheese I didn't taste the thousand island. So, very disappointed! read more

The Italian hoagie and Kaiser Breakfast sandwich were delicious. I don't even like macaroni salad normally and we got a pound of it togo that did not make it 24 hours. This was place offers food at a great price with such a local feel. Super sweet staff that talked to us like family; definitely will be back. read more

Sak's Deli - Pork belly tacos with pimento cheese between the tortillas I don't even like pimento cheese but it was awesome! - Delis Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

We chose this place because of the reviews, but didn't have a good experience. I'm hoping today was an off day. We put in a to go order of hoagies with side of Mac salad. First, the "side" was a small sauce cup with two bites of Mac salad. However, we didn't even eat it because it had an awful taste. The best way to describe it was it tasted like strong perfume smells. Our hoagies were missing ingredients we ordered and overall tasted bland. Again, hope it was just an off day but it was very off putting and questions how others love this place. read more

This is a great place to meet a friend for an uninterrupted, quiet meal. They also do catering, and I am sure that their catering menu is as great as their in house selection. The food, service, and menu pricing are excellent. read more

Great Phili steak sandwich. Friendly waitress. Beer!!!! Yaboy. Great food.

Order three chicken salad sandwiches, I've never been to this location. Bites of chicken were large, not tender, tough, and seem to be just white chicken covered in Mayo. It was one of the specials. read more

Ordered for delivery via GrubHub, which I wasn't super pleased with (there's no option to select sandwich size and chips didn't come with our orders like they normally would according to the Sak's menu), but the food was fantastic. We got the French Dip and the Sweet Chili Cheesesteak, and both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Would definitely order again, but next time we'll pick it up ourselves. Prices may seem a little high, but given how big the sandwiches are, you definitely get your money's worth. read more

Can't believe I didn't know about this place. Great food, great service. Best French Toast I have ever had.
