Doug’s Deli Downtown is a local favorite in downtown Rome, GA, just steps from the Forum, DeSoto Theatre, and City Auditorium. We serve fresh deli classics like the Downtown Turkey sandwich and Chipotle Chicken Spinach Wrap, made with quality ingredients and our signature homemade focaccia bread. Our full-service bakery features real Southern cakes, hand-decorated cookies, and custom sweets for any occasion. And don’t miss our popular Supper Club—a rotating menu of homemade take-home dinners, made fresh daily for busy families and anyone craving comfort food without the cooking. Come for the cozy vibes, stay for the flavor!

We ate there about 2pm in the afternoon and there were not very many patrons there. However, the food was good. My granddaughter, 12 yrs old, said it was the best hamburger she has ever ate and she should know she eats hamburgers everywhere she goes. She is a burger connoisseur for sure. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and it was okay, a little dry, but the honey mustard sauce was great.

We’ve been here twice and both times we’ve really enjoyed our sandwiches. The Pastrami Tsunami I had today was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. They could offer a few better side options, lower the prices (small bag if chips for $2.25), or have a combo deal, but it was still great.

Love this place. We were made to feel so welcome. Everyone loved the fact we were Scottish. Doug is a sweet heart. He welcomed us with complimentary Cheese Grits and great conversation. We saw him treating the families kids with free cookies too. A real family atmosphere with great home Meade healthy or hearty food.
I love the open kitchen because you can see the food handling, cleanliness and practices all of which looked great.
It’s an American trait to have a lot of disposable cutlery, styrofoam and plastics, so I hope Doug’s can lead the way in this next step to reducing this waste.
We definitely recommend it and will visit again.

Stopped by while in town, and found Doug’s. Very good sandwich, and had the best oatmeal cream pie I have ever had.

If I could give zero stars I would. I’ve been coming here for years but today I went in and ordered 2 half and half wrap/salads. I was given the most pathetically small portion of a wrap (reminder that it’s supposed to be a half) and when I unrolled it, it was clearly a sliver of a tortilla that they cut and wrapped. This happened with both of the wraps. Evidently they have decided to cut costs by scamming you on the portion sizes. If this is how Doug has decided to conduct business then I will avoid giving him my money and advise everyone else to do the same. I do not blame the workers as this was obviously a decision made by management to go out of their way and cut the tortillas into quarters before wrapping it. Don’t go here unless you want to pay to still be hungry afterward.

Love Doug’s! Great selection of delicious sandwiches and salads. Also great cakes but for us it is all about the amazing COOKIES! I live out of state but always have to bring cookies back to the family when I visit!

Absolute star of a place. Went here an hour before closing and it had people but was not swamped. Could definitely see it was a favorite though. Love that it was on the outskirts of town, so it’s easier to find parking and may be a little less busy.
The staff are super friendly and hard-working. I really enjoyed seeing all of the family shoutouts on the board. Opted for the turkey sprout Sammy and it was great. Did not get a side and the sandwich was plenty enough. Perfect size if you’re hungry, but it would probably be good to save half if you got a side. Oh and for some reason, the cucumbers were fire -so good.
Opted for a icing cookie for dessert. It was huge and chewy. All of their desserts looks delicious honestly
Felt like the price was definitely fair for the quality that you’re getting because it all appeared very homemade and delicious. Would definitely make this a staple spot if I lived here.

Another great find in Rome!
Spacious, modern and quirky inside. Menu is varied and reasonably priced, staff are friendly and the atmosphere is calm and relaxed.
I had Doug’s downtown bowl and it was delicious. The only improvement would be the coffee but it was far from terrible.
Will definitely return.

This place is fantastic! It’s like Panera on steroids! Its more cost efficient and homemade!The cookies and the cake can not be beat! The detail in the cookie is so beautiful as well as delicious! New summer designs are super cute! As for the cake, one piece is enough for a week! The staff is super friendly, and all of the sandwiches and soups we had were phenomenal!!!
Just tasted to believe it! We have plans to frequent this place many, many times! Keep up the good work Doug!

This place is awesome. We had the cheese grits, a salad, Pimento Melt, and a Buffalo Chicken wrap. It was all very good and fresh. The kitchen/bakery is open on two sides so you can watch the crew prepare food.
