One of the best beach sandwiches I've had! We stayed in Eastham on a Cape Cod visit, and we were so pleased to find this spot close to Nauset Light beach. Our subs lasted us for 2 days of beach lunch, (I had an Italian - yum!) they had plenty of chips and other sides to choose from, and the chocolate chip cookies were excellent. Sandwiches were ready quickly and they had a bit of nice outdoor seating. I'd come back here on a Cape trip in a heartbeat! read more

Still probably the best sandwich around, but terrible compared to what it used to be. They are starting to fill the sandwich with all the other nonsense and leave off most of the meat portion. At the same time charging more. The second problem is their ordering system. They have a line for ordering and a line for paying. But they don't let you pay until your sandwich is done. So when it's busy what happens is your sandwich is done and then you have to get in a long line and wait when you could've been paid and out of there. Only way to counter this is to order online which you don't always think to do. Annoying problem that could easily be solved with common sense. There's also always like 15 people working and they still take a while to make your sandwich even if they're mildly busy. Then, like everyone else they flip around the iPad on you and ask you for a 25% tip while people are behind you in line also waiting for their sandwiches that have been sitting there for 10 minutes ​​​ read more

Cute and convenient specialty market in Eastham, right off Route 6. We stopped for some baked goods and beer, but their selection of deli sandwiches and prepared foods is really good...most of the sandwiches are in the $10-12 range, which is not bad for a place on Cape Cod. They also have beer and wine choices, snacks, beef jerky, pastries, cookies, etc. The staff was really nice and friendly. Large parking lot with a nice large handicap ramp to get in and out easy. read more

Did sandwich run from Coast guard beach. I wish i took pictures of sandwich but everyone was hungry when I got back. I got 2 Italians- split between 4 of us and honestly an excellent Italian sandwich. The daughter and I are very critical of an Italian and this passed muster. Very good bread on all the sandwich. Niece's friend had a turkey club sub that had honey mustard on it and she thought it was fantastic. Also split a Cuban between my wife, daughter and I and it was really good. No question that sandwich in Eastham area are not cheap. But what matter is are you glad you spent that money. Seemed to take longer than I was told it would but I got over that. Worth the wait. read more

Been coming here with my family since I was a small kid!!! It's onto gotten busier over the years. We always order/grab our sandwiches and bring them to the beach. Got a Nauset light sandwich, a Reuben, and a turkey club... & a bag of chips and 2 drinks. We ordered and there was quite a frenzy... (granted it is a Saturday here at the cape ... but it is 1/4 before 3:00pm now). There was a line down the shop and around the coffee area but they had a bunch of people working. 10-15 mins later (exactly as predicted) our sandwiches were ready. Nabbed 'em and on our way down to the beach! Thank you again :) you're a staple part of our Cape-escapes! read more

This is less about my experience and all about their macaroni salad. They need to up their game in the macaroni salad department. It's awful. Compare it to Stop & Shop's or even what the Eastham Superette's, which knocks Sam's out of the water. I'm pretty sure Mac's Seafood uses the same recipe. Awful!!!!! But the place is otherwise quite good. read more

Preface: this is the first yelp review I've ever left (let that show how strongly I feel about this). I've been coming here for years and am usually a big Sam's deli fan but just had a terrible experience. My favorite sandwich all last year was the cape cubano. I would have told you it was one of the better Cuban sandwiches I'd ever had. The Cuban I had today was terrible. 1. The bread was different 2. The bread was not toasted or pressed 3. There was more cheese on the wrapping than the sandwich itself 4. There were not enough pickles 5. The bacon tasted and looked like Oscar Meyer microwave quality 6. The ham was bad quality There are certain expectations that come along with buying a $13 sandwich. I am incredibly disappointed and I expect improvement. I will be back here if I have a similar experience. read more

Year after year Sam's does not disappoint! We are so happy you are here your bread, baked goods, quiche, salads & sandwiches are so good! You carry Beanstock coffee beans Yay! See you next summer! read more

I ordered one of the specials listed for the day and what I received was a mismatch of two very different sandwiches. I've lived on the Cape for 20+ years and have watched this place go downhill with each different owner.The sandwiches are very pricey, are sloppily put together and are skimpy on the ingredients. Very disappointing read more

Sam's has fallen off a cliff. Don't bother going in for fresh bread or bakery at 7 am. It's not there. Counter service for in store customers seems to be a nuisance to staff who focus more on assembly line of sandwich making for app orders. Shame. read more

The sandwich's were wonderful. Thick with meat and salad. The ciabatta bread was delicious/. Our order was ready when we suggested. Will go again when on the Cape. read more

Me and the lady got great sandwiches here. I got tuna, she got a BLT. Both were delicious, made quickly, and on really good bread. They also have a grocery with beer, wine, liquor. read more

I've been ordering from Sam's deli for years now and it is always delicious and everyone there is always lovely! I love the new online ordering system, it is much quicker and easier than calling in orders. read more

Food and sandwiches are good, so why only three stars?? Because they are the absolutely slowest market I've ever been to! 30 minutes to make two sandwiches. Second experience was the same. Yet, there are at least six guys in back making sandwiches and preparing orders. So many people waiting outside for their order to be filled. Sams sends a text message when your order is ready...but why is there such a slow process? They'd never make it in New York City where orders are taken and sandwiches or salads made in less than a minute, no exaggeration. So, if you want to go to Sam's be prepared to wait, and wait, and wait. But for no good reason that I could see. read more

Excellent food and terrific staff. Best fresh sandwich's and salads on the cape. Delicious cookies, bread and snacks.

Sam's Deli & Market is a gourmet delicatessen that opened in Eastham, Massachusetts in 2001. It was founded by Heather Meredith and Pam Blakely. In 2019, the business was purchased by husband and wife Tom and Susan Knight. The Knights were seasonal residents of Eastham for several years and regular customers at Sam's. When Heather and Pam were looking to sell, the Knights decided to move to Cape Cod full-time and take over the deli. Sam's offers a wide variety of sandwiches including subs, hard rolls and wraps. When it comes to deli meats, Sam's only uses Boar's Head Brand low sodium products made with no preservatives and no additives. The deli also offers Breakfast Sandwiches, salads and various types of sides. Sam's also offers a full catering service featuring sandwich platters and more. The deli building is also connected to Sam's Uncorked: a liquor store with a wide selection of beer and wine (especially local). My wife, son and I visited Sam's last week while we were on a week-long family vacation in Cape Cod. We stopped by to get some sandwiches for lunch after spending all morning at the beach. My wife and I both ordered and shared the "Coast Guard Beach" (roast chicken, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and blue cheese dressing on toasted focaccia bread) and the "Tuscano" (Tuscan chicken salad, lettuce, tomato, onion and fresh mozzarella with pesto mayo on a spinach wrap). These were some solid deli sandwiches!! Just delicious! They paired well with a bag of Cape Cod Sweet & Spicy Jalapeño potato chips. We'll definitely be returning here on future trips to Cape Cod. read more

Love the sandwiches here. Even though they took my favorite off the menu I can still get it when I "build your own" The lines get crazy in season but ordering online works well. read more

Always the best quality sandwiches and salads in the area - expensive but great quality and efficient and helpful staff!

Small market with nice sandwich options. We also bought the homemade chocolate chip cookies which were excellent. Staff not overly friendly but they were really busy. Would definitely go back next time we're in the area. read more

I went to Sam's for both breakfast and lunch the 3 days on the cape for the 4th of July. The self service ice coffee is great and breakfast sandwiches are hot and fresh as well as the fresh bakery items. The sandwiches are killer too I couldn't go wrong with a beach sandwich for the cooler. Add extra stars for getting condiments packed on the side. Since the sandwich would get soggy in the cooler. But it was still fresh after a few hours. Friendly staff and even though their are lines the ordering went smoothly. read more

Great sandwiches. They are definitely substantial, I usually have to split it into two meals. The kids working there do a great job. It's pretty busy in there in the summer so I suggest ordering ahead for pickup. read more

Their sandwiches are so good. Best on cape. Order ahead, so they are ready when you get there.

Still the Best Sandwiches Around I just got back from a trip to the outer Cape and I can report definitively that Sam's Deli is still the best place to get a bite to eat on the Cape. A recent reviewer noted that there were new owners and wasn't sure if things would be different and there's no need to worry. The food here is still great, like it has always been. Fresh ingredients. Great food. A perfect place for breakfast, lunch, brunch, afternoon snack, early evening grazing, whatever. read more

Sam's Deli - I met the new owner.   She very friendly. - Delis Near Me - Eastham, Massachusetts

Service has gone downhill and prices sharply up in the last year. We live in Eastham and have been customers for over 30 years. Calling ahead for sandwiches always meant picking them on arrival. We called an hour ahead to place a sandwich order and received a text that it was ready and to "head in to the cashier for pickup and payment". When we arrived, the line was more than 20 people deep. We went directly to the cashier station, which was manned by the owner. He was exceptionally rude and nasty, saying loudly, that "nobody gets special treatment on Labor Day", and to "get to the end of the line". In the time he spent arguing with us, he could have checked out our $55 purchase. They have lost us as faithful customers. Mary Lou and Craig T read more

This place is good but twice now ive gotten realllyyy skimpy sandwiches. I would let it go if it was once. But its a habit now and i want to support my local business but maybe get a consistent number of slices for ur employees to follow. If ur busy cut more turkey ill wait, really. Two thin slices dont cut it i actually thought they forgot the turkey cuz all i tasted was cheese. read more

Sam's Deli - the cheese should not be thicker than the meat - Delis Near Me - Eastham, Massachusetts

Absolutely amazing sandwich/wrap options. Sam's is always our go-to lunch spot when on the Cape and we are never disappointed. Gracious portions with a variety of fresh ingredients. Their menu invites you to try one of their sandwich creations (with great, creative names) or challenges you to create a sandwich masterpiece of your own. Jersey subs are absolutely no match for the wonderful selections at Sam's. Add this to your must-go list when traveling through Cape Cod! read more

Pleasantly surprised when I entered this delicatessen. It smelled wonderful. The sandwiches we purchased were hearty and delicious. It was wonderful to see prepared food for those who want to grab and go .This place had it down to a science . As for service, they were organized, and we received our sandwiches in a reasonable amount of time. I will definitely return. read more

Sandwiches are pretty good. A bit overpriced but that's par for the course on Cape. The biggest detractor, honestly, is the wait time. I worked in restaurants and a busy pizza place for years. I've also eaten at delis and markets in Boston and New York with way more volume and they all crank out quality food at good prices so much faster than this place. I cannot for the life of me understand why it takes 45 minutes to make two sandwiches. It just doesn't make sense. read more

Sam's is our go to place. Quality in every sandwich. Try there Turkey Club on focaccia or the fabulous Thanksgiving sandwich with Turkey, cranberry sauce, bacon, and stuffing on focaccia. We live this place. read more

You lost a loyal customer of 5 years today. I spent 45 minutes (past the guaranteed time) waiting in my car for the staff to tell me "sorry we missed your order". I requested a refund and left. Order volumes were high, yes. With that being said, if you have over 10+ people working the kitchen this is a management/workflow optimization issue not a volume issue. I'm not sure what the new management is doing back there but I'm not going to be back to find out. Sorry folks, good luck. read more

We found this place accidentally. It was a great accident! Our sandwich was delicious, fresh and tasty! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they are so busy you have to wait so long to get a sandwich. The first time we had to wait 20 minutes and the second was 50 minutes! Of course they do have phone orders so you could call in if you know in advance. Sadly we didn't plan in advance! This is a must stop!!! Next time i am planning ahead!!! read more
