Good, solid sandwiches. All ingredients seemed fresh. The turkey sandwich had a good balance of everything. The Ruben wasn't too impressive because the fixings were a little too light. We'll try them again though! read more

Heard this place was good, so I decided to stop in. Cute little deli with a variety of options. I ordered a turkey club. It was really good! Sandwich was a good size. I got 2 meals out it lol. 19 bucks for a sandwich, chips, and a drink is a bit high, but I would return. The service was great! read more

Uncle's Deli - Delis Near Me - Darien, Connecticut

Most expensive turkey sandwich in Fairfield County . Would be ok to pay the price but last 2 sandwiches were on hard as rock stale bread . With the inflated prices their bread used for sandwiches should at least be fresh not stale and hard as a rock. Very disappointing. read more

Went in May 15, 2025 around 2pm and asked if they had smoothies or shakes, they didn't-that's fine. I settled for a chocolate milk from the fridge instead. At the register I input my debit card pin # 3 times and it wouldn't go through. I ask if I can slide, the cashier says yes. Sliding prompts you to insert chip...cashier just stares at me and the other lady comes over and say you have to know your PIN number. Guy working the deli counter is great but the cashiers left a bad taste in my mouth. Some advice from someone who is familiar with customer facing roles: don't assume your clients are stupid and ESPECIALLY don't tell them to their faces. I was able to use my debit card normally the rest of the day. read more

Living a town over from Uncles Deli I have always been a fan of this place. It's great for a quick bite, and I have recommend this deli to many people not from around here. I will say the service is a little overwhelming when they get really busy, but just stand your ground and know what you want! You can also call ahead - I usually do to avoid the lunch crowd! One of my favorites is the Californian which is a wrap. If you're looking for something on the lighter side it's really good! Overall it's just your classic deli! read more

Fabulous 3 cheese veggie panini. Simply fantastic. The muffins are bomb as well. And let's not forget the bagels: divine.

Fruit salad and sandwiches are delicious. I went to get my husband for the first time and they had run out of bread. I was disappointed but we still love their sandwiches read more

Got cut in line by a half-pint whos manners displayed that of patronization rather than gratitude. Weekly specials awoke something within me: a shame I decided to explore on a Saturday. read more

These reviews are wrong! I randomly passed this place on a business trip, thought it would be just a quick lunch but ended up having the best chicken parm sandwich I've ever had. I went back in to thank the guy who made it, a younger guy & learned he was the owner. Super nice/friendly. If I'm ever in Darien for work again, I'll be back. Honestly the chicken parm special was so good I might make a trip from NJ just to get it again. read more

Like the other reviews I was really disappointed by the poor service. If you place an online order however you don't really need to speak with the rude staff, just give your name and get your food. I got a pretty substantial chicken caesar wrap that was enough food to eat for lunch two days in a row. I can't give over 3 stars because the service is that bad, but if you can look past it (and check your food before you leave) then it may be worth giving Uncle's a try. read more

Oh my. What has happened? It's been over 10 years. Our sandwiches were not fresh, and really barely edible. The service was so nice though, and I did appreciate that. But quality really was a letdown. read more

Three Sandwiches and with chips for $44.00 and they didn't even get the order correct. Total Joke!

What an experience. It's like the lady working there asked me to write a negative review. I call in, she is super rude Before I go any further, I understand , COVID precautions are necessary and there is a 5 person-in-store rule. THAT BEING SAID, we can't see how many people are in the deli so when I tried checking, I was greeted by immediate "GET OUT, GET OUT! So now I have to wait behind people ordering sandwiches for an order I placed over the phone. Staff is rude And she didn't even get our order right. It's like she went out of her way to get this review read more

The sandwiches are amazing but the customer service is ABYSMAL. Today's experience: 1) They messed up half of our order. We ordered several turkey clubs among other things, but they some how interpreted that as turkey cheese (though never was I asked what kind of cheese...? So not sure how this happened). This was particularly frustrating because my family live 30 minutes away and we are visiting this week from DC. Further, I called in my order rather than using a platform like GrubHub to ensure that they didn't incur any fees, though clearly that bit me in the bum. 2) They were not very helpful when I called about getting the sandwiches replaced. a) I called 3 times in the course of trying to work out our options (delivery, credit, etc) before ultimately driving over. One of the things that was consistently offered over the phone was that they would have my name and # on file and next time I came in would replace the sandwiches. I called when I was en route to ask them to prepare the sandwiches. At this point, they choose to tell me for the first time that I needed to bring the incorrect sandwiches back. This never occurred to me because we are in a pandemic and we had opened/touched all of the sandwiches checking if they were all the same or if we just got one by mistake. I apologized and noted that no one told me this, explained I was already halfway there, but could easily get a photo as proof. The sudden need for me to return the sandwiches makes me wonder if they actually would have honored the name/number option if I had come in the following week? Or if that is just something they say they will do hoping you just forget. b) They were totally obtuse when I was on the phone. I was explaining how the sandwiches were wrong because they only had turkey and cheese on them, nothing else. They kept interpreting it as if I was choosing to drive an hour because they gave me cheese on the sandwich instead of bacon, even though I directly corrected them on this. Ultimately, they brushed me off on the phone saying that they would deal with it when I arrived. 3) They were straight up rude and unapologetic. I came in, ready to discuss and get this all set straight (e.g. pay the difference on the turkey cheese v. turkey club sandwiches, make clear what went wrong and correct it, move on). The woman who seemed to be the manager and who I spoke with on the phone shoved a bag at me and admonished me for not bringing the sandwiches back saying how next time I had better bring the incorrect sandwiches back because she was not ok with giving us 6 free sandwiches (???? there were 3 and given the gas/mileage I had to expend on these f***ing sandwiches for your mistake, I think we can call this even). It took everything in me to leave and keep the bounty of expletives running through my head to myself. I have been going to Uncle's Deli since I was a kid. Anytime we were in Darien I would BEG my mum to go. When I come home from anywhere, it was always among the first places I wanted to go (I had my mum greet me at the airport with an Uncle's turkey club after returning from study abroad in college). Today was my first Uncle's sandwich since having a baby a few months ago (you are advised against eating deli meats when pregnant) and it takes a lot more effort these days to run any errand, let alone take an extra hour to re-do an errand that you thought you had completed. Mistakes happen and goodness knows after the past 18 months we all need to show more understanding/grace, but the abject rudeness and bad customer service in response was inexcusable to me. In venting to friends today, it sounds like this service is just endemic to Uncle's. So, I can't see myself making the effort to go again in the future. In the market for a new deli if anyone has suggestions. read more

). I've been to Uncles over the past 20 years. I usually wait patiently in line to order and pay. Today I ordered by phone. I walked into the front by the cash register to pay and pick up my phone order. The blonde cashier yelled at me to get in line after she angrily asked me what I just said. A very nice woman said I I was in line. Still the cashier was extremely rude. Can't see why I would ever go here again while that cashier works at uncles. I'll be at Vavalas deli where they appreciate customers! read more

Wow!!! Where do I begin..... I ordered 4 items. A cheese steak with onions on a garlic wedge, grilled cheese, potato cones and a bologna sandwich. All 4 items were a joke! The cheese steak came on a plain Keizer roll, no garlic, no cheese and no onions and taste rancid! The grilled cheese was burned, the cones were burned and were actually hollow!!!!! The bologna sandwich.... they gave me ham!!!! Everything went in the trash! Do not order from here! read more

BAD experience. Uncle's would not honor the price printed on their catering menu. Instead of the $15 a foot wedge price clearly printed on the catering menu, I was charged $20 a foot. My bill came up to $172, $40 more than it should have been according to the Uncle's menu. I cancelled the order and went to Vavalas. i had to give them 1 undeserved tar in order to submit this review. read more

Got two egg sandwiches, 2 cokes and small potatoes for $21. Not only expensive, the sandwiches were terrible. One egg, little cheese, little bacon. Total waste of money. Go somewhere else. read more

Got two sandwiches for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There were a few ppl in line in front of me, but I got lucky that a table opened up outside as our sandwiches were ready. My husband and I split the crazy Ivan and the Buffalo Craig. Both were delicious! Really enjoyed the chicken cutlet in both. Very reasonable pricing and great portions. Will absolutely be back here! read more

Good deli in the heart of Darien. Good quality everything. The place deserves 5 stars but I was forced to delete 2 stars due to the unfriendly check out lady who's attitude suggests that she wished she was elsewhere...Unacceptable in a retail environment. read more

So rude to their customers. Stick with other delis in Darien, Mama Carmelas and Vavalas. Don't waste your time or money at this place.

I think I have written 3 reviews in 5 years, all good. But after being put on hold for 10 minutes only to be hung up on for like the 5th time in last 8 calls, I had enough. The people here at so rude, They ask "What do you want?" like an exasperated parent scolding a toddler. They ignore you when you walk in to pick up your order. Food is standard deli fare, but the people who work there are awful. read more

Uncle's is seriously making me sad/upset. I came in here a few days ago ordering three of the same sandwich (one was plain with dressing) and another very similar sandwich. They got the entire order wrong and didn't even put them on the right bread (only one was correct). They couldn't even handle the PHONE orders they had coming in, let alone the small line of customers. I've seen Uncle's work under pressure during the lunch hour rush but the staff is different during the week. You pretty much have to write down exactly what you want and hand it to them if you are ordering three or more sandwiches. Though I don't even think that would help. The woman ringing me up was aggravated at ME because she forgot to ring up three out of the four sandwiches and accused me of not telling her I ordered them. Except there was another employee standing right next to her as I explained what I ordered. She apparently couldn't handle my measly order. Oh and $2.95 for an Orangina and $2.75 for a Vitamin Water is OUTRAGEOUS. I hate that they don't list their prices anymore because they are "subject to change". $7.25 for a sandwich with two toppings is ridiculous. This place is so full of themselves. Unfortunately this is one of closest deli's around but I will most likely head on over to Brenden's 101 from now on, which is miles better than this place. read more

The sandwiches are hit or miss during the week but they tend to be consistently good on the weekends.

I'd maybe give this deli 3.5 stars but the price really made a difference as well as that the bread wasn't my favorite. First, they had the loafs of Arnold bread and sort of like generic wraps sitting on the counter. I like that bread... at home when I make sammies myself. When I'm out I want some bread from the bakery. They had a great check in offer of a free egg sandwich... what??? I check in and then see its for pre 10 AM. Ha, yeah right. The place is a quaint little spot on the main street in Darien, an upper class, little town off 95 in CT. There are about 4-5 round picnic tables with umbrellas to sit outside, and no indoor seating at all. The menu consisted of about 10 options for roll ups and panins and a few sandwich options which I thought strange: usually there are lots of sandwich options, a few wraps and paninis, or you can make your own. Items ranged from chicken parm to a cheese steak to any type of Boar's Head sandwich meat. There was about 12 lbs of bacon made on the grill that looked amazing. I spied a wrap I really enjoyed but rather have it a wedge sandwich (+ $1). Turkey, fresh mutz, avocado, lettuce and tomato in a wedge sandwich. The thing that came out was monstrous and I asked my man to share it with me. He obliged reluctantly. The sandwich, with 2 bags of chips and a soda rang up to be $17 and change! Wow. Those are some steep prices. The sandwich itself was decent. A wee bit flavorless but that could have been my order. As my bf and I take bites, I turn to him and say thank god for the Jersey sub. This is a great regular joint but, I have learned my lesson next time, I'll stick to one of the premade sandwiches so you know what you are dealing with price wise. Also, if I'm ever in this hood for breakfast, I have a feelin' this is the place to be. read more

Today will be my last day going here. It has gotten very expensive, much more so than other delis in town, it's dirty and the women that work behind the register and very rude for no reason. read more

Today I went in and ordered a roast beef sandwich. Upon arriving home I was surprised open my sandwich and see it was turkey. I went back and let them know. They made me a new sandwich and gave me some extra uncles bucks. The food is really good! read more

Almost everyone at my office (22 of the 27 people) grab lunch from this place during the week. The wraps, sandwiches and salads they choose always look tasty. I passed by a mean lookin' roast beef wrap the other day. I've been two or three times and haven't gotten too extreme with the ordering (tuna wrap, turkey and American on whole wheat). Reasonable and wide variety of choices. Lots of Nantucket Nectar's and a few hard to find drinks. On a hungry morning, $2.75 for an egg and cheese is a good deal. When the weather is nice, there is table seating outdoors. read more

Don't bother ordering a delivery order after 4pm, they'll accept the order and then 30 min later they'll cancel it. Just pure laziness, no other way to describe it. read more

This is now our second time coming here and walking right out after standing around for 10 minutes not being helped. The second time we took it into our own hands and walked up to the girl at the register thinking maybe these guys are ignoring us because they are super busy (we were the only people in there), and she goes I don't take food order I only do checkout. So we left... go next door to sugar bowl where they treat you like family and the food is always good. read more

Great portions, high quality bread on sandwiches, and a fantastic truly local business worth supporting. It's the kind of place locals go to all the time, so I guess it doesn't occur to us to ever write a review. The other reviews here are anomalous-- I encourage you to give this deli a shot! Delivery available via Postmates. read more

First off, lady at the cashier was extremely rude. Second, our order was completely messed up. We had to go back because one sandwich was not in the bag. Both philly cheese steaks were burned, fatty, and no flavor. I said no onions and there were tons of onions on one sandwich. We used to go here all the time for lunch and haven't been because of the rudeness and mess ups. We decided to try one last time to give them the benefit of the doubt and it was 90 dollars wasted. read more

Love love love uncles! Great sandwiches and service with a smile. Sit outside and watch the world go by. Some might find the sandwiches pricy but they don't skimp, you definitely get your monies worth. Expect lines during peak hours, it is a favorite for breakfast and lunch. Here's a tip if you can't find seating out front. There are tables next to the gas station across the street which you can also use. read more

Prices are outrageous even for Darien. Sandwiches aren't even consistent. Go to stamford to get better sandwiches.

Total waste of money!!! Prices are ridiculous. We ordered a salami sandwich and a pizziola. If I didn't ask for turkey and green peppers the sandwich would be salami and bread. PLUS the bread was hard as a rock!!! $20+ in the trash!!! read more

I work down the street and a lot of us in my company building have stopped going here . The Spanish women on the weekend is so rude and nasty . Always says we can only pay cash , ( fishy to me ) it's almost like she's mad anyone even comes there ! Makes you feel uncomfortable. I also think it's very unprofessional that she bashes the owner of the deli to numerous co workers . That's it ! Will not be returning . read more

Terrible customer service! After witnessing several customers being treated horribly this morning, I will not be returning. The woman behind the cash register was extremely rude even with the owner worked behind the deli just feet away. read more

I've been getting sandwiches here for years so it is tough to write a negative review, but I just can't with this place anymore. The food is terribly inconsistent they get orders wrong all the time because they almost never write anything down. Honestly I've put up with that for a while because its just deli sandwiches and they are just ok, but its pretty over priced and I feel like the lady at the register just makes the prices up sometimes. (I can't prove that but I have my suspicions) But the final straw is their rudeness, look I have worked multiple jobs in the service industry I know how hard it is to deal with customers day in and day out especially in a town like Darien, but there is just no excuse for the attitudes I see from the staff there. It's just not a kind establishment. Gotta call it like I see it. read more
