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

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

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

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

I want this Deli at home in Buffalo!!! Unfortunately due to timing, we were only able to do breakfast sandwiches (3 days in a row). The subs look amazing and really wanted them, but since they are not open past late lunch, that didn't happen. They literally had the BEST Everything bagel, including a sprinkling of oats along with the usual. Cookies huge and reasonably priced My friend also bought cinnamon rolls daily. Their slices of chicken pot pie looked amazing. So many good things to look at that we didn't get to taste. They also carried a nice assortment of locally made products. The only thing that would have made us happier would be a fried instead of scrambled egg. But that scrambled egg being moist and fluffy was a positive, along with a variety of cheese choices was still a plus. We were a couple of happy girls! read more

Great sandwiches! They are very popular especially at lunchtime so plan ahead. You can order ahead to have it ready for you. Also a small market with essentials. A local favorite! read more

It was great to have this place close enough to bike to from Atlantic Oaks Campground. Great sandwiches, cookies were amazing, and we were able to grab some groceries we needed for making a meal back at the campsite. read more

Order two sandwiches one was delicious the other was missing the meat and cheese! The turkey sub I ordered for my kids had literally only lettuce and mayo. I'd return because the other sandwich (coastguard) was so good, great fresh ingredients and amazing focaccia bread. But next time I'll check the contents to be sure they're right before leaving. read more

Stopped in before the beach. Ordered a turkey sandwich with mayo on a roll. 20 minutes later, I got a stale roll, no mayo and 2 slices of turkey. I am not saying anything else. read more

Took their sandwiches to the beach every day when I'm in Truro. Loved that I could order on the app and it would ready when I got there because their lines are LONG. Every sandwich was delish. read more

We have been getting breakfast sandwiches here the last few days. Bacon, egg, and cheese on bagels w/2 eggs. Pricey at $17 but summer tourist season so whatever. They are very good and would be amazing with fried eggs not scrambled. Bagels are big and NY style. Bacon is good and cooked well. Not too rubbery and not too crispy. Only 4 stars because of the price and scrambled. If you dont mind spending a bit more and like the scrambled on a sammie...5 stars. read more

I own a property management company that does business in Eastham and Sam's is one of our very favorite local spots, an excellent choice for sandwiches, baked goods and on-the-go homemade options. I still dream of a carrot cake cupcake I had a few years back. It's always worth the wait, and the staff is so gracious and always hustling. Highly recommend! read more

Wow what a letdown this was. Not sure if I remember the subs better than they really are or what but I was unpleasantly surprised. They had everything right, good presentation of the store, delicious looking baked goods, and a loyal customer group that was greeted happily by the friendly staff, but if your looking for a sub worth your money this is not your place. I was hoping to be able to put the sub up there in the ranks of the subs back home but I really struck out. The bread was not fresh and the "Italian grinder" seemed to only feature two different meats. Received three stars due to the satisfactoryness of the other items my family ordered. read more

Sam's Deli - Delis Near Me - Eastham, Massachusetts

Sam's is hands down the best sandwich place on outer cape BUT they also offer the worst service in the State of MA! Their sandwiches are all hand made with fresh ingredients and homemade bread which understandably takes time. Unfortunately before COVID (summer of '18 & 19) and now during COVID the happy, friendly and cheerful help hired for the summer appear to lack any organized process to make the Sandwiches! We try to always call ahead and a 3 sandwich order while expected to take 30-45 minutes is always more. Waiting in store or outside is comical with a few employees always looking for orders between the shelves behind the register and the ones making and bringing them to the shelves? I am always curious who runs this place? But, like I said they are the best and I will go back at least once a week for the Nauset or the Coast Guard - they are fantastic! read more

Eastham is fortunate to have SAM'S nowadays. Fine service. You really need to order lunch in advance. Your best bet for sandwich bread are the baguettes. They must use a local bakery. Excellent. The sandwiches are fairly portioned for the reasonable prices. Covid notice. They usually open at 7 am but as they don't have sufficient help due to immigration restrictions they open at 9 am. read more

Still the best sandwich on the cape. Love to go here. Great staff and service. I always get the California club. YOU MUST GO!

Excellent food and service with great prices. SAMs is our go to establishment for picnics at the beach and our ride home. Their sandwiches are LARGE ( we share one at times) and their "tubs" to go are always fresh and tasty (both the curried chicken and the broccoli salad rocks) SAMs is busy and stretch thin. Be patient and you will be rewarded!! read more

Absolutely solid Deli food, made to order. Very nice staff and they were happy to customize my annoyingly customized order.

Hate to say it, but this place is falling apart! We saw it over the summer with things ordered like scones -- being just partially cooked. Very sad. Just earlier this month, it was our first time up to the Cape for the year, and the sandwich for the kid in front of us somehow entirely just disappears. Just a very scattered and chaotic energy, as much as I hate to say it; we ended up staying 30+ extra minutes for our order to be completed. I think they changed owners? Normally I wouldn't say something like this during a time like this, but Sam's has been in a slow downward spiral prior to the pandemic. One of the sandwiches we had, however, was very good. **NOTE: I would love if someone from Sam's could reach out to me to discuss quality concerns (over my order/the establishment) in a private environment. Thank you. read more

The sandwiches here are very good. The owner is not. She is rude and looks down on the customers. I have been coming here for years and this new person doesn't seem to know much about customer service. She gives the impression that she is doing you a favor by unlocking the door each morning. I asked her a polite, appropriate question and she responded like I am a nuisance. . And she was yelling at her employees! I generally only write strong, positive reviews of the places I visit. Cant do that here. read more

What a joke. Do not come here unless you are ready to wait 45 minutes for mediocre sandwiches...the slaw and the mac salad was sooo bland. Tasted like plain noodles...I assumed the reasoning behind 7 people in the service line was to have a decent ready time but the ladies don't seem to have much worth ethic. However, they do look like they are having a lot of fun back there. Maybe that's why this place has been getting a lot of bad reviews.... looks like management needs to make some changes or trading their workers better. Brickhouse down the street was soooooo good! I would recommend going there instead read more

Always a great sandwich! Wonderful salads ready to go, and other prepared foods. A great addition to Eastham.

AVOID! Slow, rude, and incompetent. Said 15 min and they took an hour, and the food was cold. People backed up, and the teens working are distracted by their IPhones. Skip it and go somewhere else. read more

Great sandwich. And with a wine and beer store attached one can get a beer to go with one's sandwich. A Bonus while biking!

I would say this is a safe stop for lunch on the go if your starving, can't drive another mile to eat. It's clean, prices listed, not many choices for sandwiches. You get a ticket when you order and they say your number to get your food. The drinks and chips are extra. Over 75% of the bottled drinks were $2.00. It had a variety of off of to prepare at home.. I would not make it my first food stop in the area. But it was warm, filling and the cheese was melted on the meat load. Oh and there is a note on the front door no bathroom-- a little tacky in my book. read more

Every time I order a sandwich it is delicious. You may have to wait at times for your order when you order, but you have to u first and what you are waiting for. Some of the most delicious sandwiches around. Great hidden gem! read more

Freakin delicious. Stopped here on the way back to Boston, and I grabbed a Harry Potter sandwich. The foccocia bread was just melt in your mouth soft, the ingredients fresh, and the service quick. Hopefully I'll be able to come back in the future! read more

Sam's is a great place. These last few summers have been very hard. Short staff due to COVID but still pushing through. So many people are so rude thinking they deserve to be treated like they are better than others and need things faster than others. Sam's treats all the same and work so hard. They have put up with a lot while providing excellent food. Thank you read more

Best sandwiches around!! Breakfast and lunch - they offer such a variety, never seen a deli like it anywhere else Ask for Natalie, she's such a hard worker and makes the absolute best sandwiches! She has been there forever and knows Sam's deli better than anyone else! Perfect stop for a bike ride, beach day, whatever the occasion may be! read more

My boyfriend and I went here twice during our recent trip to Cape Cod to pack a picnic lunch for our beach trip. Our first visit trip here was amazing! We ordered at the counter and the sandwiches came out within 10 minutes and was exactly what we ordered. A few days later we came back, however, the wait was going to be over 45 minutes for 2 sandwiches so we decided to leave, run some errands, and order over the phone. When we got there we were able to receive our sandwiches and leave within 5 minute, which was great. Despite the great experience so far, I've given a rather low rating because I ordered a vegetarian sandwich over the phone the second time we ordered at Sam's and was very excited about, however, after we left and got to the beach i opened my sandwich I had been given a Turkey Club with Bacon. I double checked their menu online (which is rather difficult to find) and confirmed what I ordered and what was written on my package was in fact a vegetarian sandwich. I was extremely disappointed with this oversight. Moving forward, if you don't have any dietary restrictions, i'd recommend this deli the quality of the food is great and the selection is great as well. I would just caution when ordering over the phone you received the correct food. read more

Love this place. Great sandwiches. Great provisions. Good meats. And attached to a liquor store with solid selection.

Been ordering sandwiches for many years. Definitely not the same since it's been under new management. Owner is extremely rude. Messed up our order the last few times and never even an apology. We are done!!! Such a shame. read more

Went to this deli today...everyone was really nice but I bought the pre-made breakfast sandwiches...my husbands sandwich was ok but when I went to eat mine I had to throw it out....the eggs were gray...gross read more

This place is a gem - a hidden jewel that unless you stumble upon from a local you won't see as it is slightly off Route 6. Great sandwiches that folks line up to order. Good baked goods and wonderful coffee. Expect lines and don't go when you only have ten minutes to get a sandwich or you may have to settle on the ready made ones. read more

this place has probably 20 plus employees working the floor yet I waited 30 minutes in-person for a sandwich that wasn't even what I asked for. Slow as molasses in here. read more

Called ahead to grab lunch for the beach . 40 min wait but wasn't a problem as we planned ahead. Food was ready when we arrived. Had the coast guard and Italian subs plus Chefs salad. Everything was delicious and very freshly made. Will go again next time we visit this part of the cape. read more

Started out well enough - 1st time visitor . Place was well staffed and all dressed similarly and looked like a very busy place as prob 8-10 people busy prepping food / making sandwiches at 8 am ! Went south fast Ordered breakfast burrito . As I waited I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what I saw . I watched as an employee who was slicing cheese grab cheese crumbs and eat them as he was slicing on slicer ! (SO glad they were wearing gloves) I watched this happen at least 1/2 dozen times ANYONE who has ever worked in a kitchen knows that kind of thing is a big no no - totally grossed me out . I was gonna say something but decided not up for an argument or a scene The burrito wasn't very good either Either because the eggs were from like liquid eggs kind or because they were microwave scrambled (or both ) I purposely didn't detail who was eating the cheese as to not embarrass the person more than necessary read more
