Two empty plates of food…compliments to the chef! My husband & I began our love for East Bay Deli in Charleston but I’ve found that this location is just as yummy! The Reuben w/fries is my goto. I’ve never had anything I didn’t like. Staff are extremely welcoming & helpful. Cleanliness is always great. Overall a great experience each time. Kayla is your manager here. Enjoy!

The atmosphere was electric with all the Christmas decorations. The food was fresh and hot with fried food not being greasy. The service was phenomenonal. I ordered chicken Tenders with fries, and my daughter ordered a patty melt with fries. I will be back. Restaurant and restrooms very clean.

I don’t typically write reviews but when in Columbia, East Bay Deli is generally a stop! Tonight, Tina rocked my Reuben! Perfectly grilled, and well portioned! Looking forward to this sandwich all day and this one is a banger!

Oh – Don’t forget your slice of cake!

Some places just get it right.

Stopped into East Bay Deli on Main Street with a friend and the whole experience felt effortless — the kind you hope for but rarely get. The food was excellent: fresh, satisfying, exactly what you want when you walk through the door.

Austin took great care of us. Attentive without hovering, helpful without being asked. The kind of service that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time.

10/10. We’ll be back.

I had a great experience at East Bay Deli, and Austin really made it stand out. He was friendly, attentive, and clearly knew what he was doing. He checked in at the right times without hovering and made sure everything came out exactly how it should. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving good service, which makes a big difference. The food was solid as always, but Austin’s professionalism and positive attitude are what really made the visit enjoyable. I’d be happy to be helped by him again.

If you haven’t been to East Bay Deli – Main Street, what are you even doing with your life?

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted like family — the kind you actually like. Sheena and Austin are absolute gems. Super nice, incredibly helpful, and somehow always in a good mood (which honestly feels like a superpower these days). They make ordering feel less like a transaction and more like you just stopped by to see friends who also happen to make incredible food.

Now let’s talk about the real star of the show: the Chief Reuben. I don’t say this lightly — it is hands-down the tastiest sandwich on the menu. Perfectly stacked, melty, savory goodness with that just-right balance of flavors that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-conversation and say, “Wait… this is REALLY good.”

And the red velvet cake? Heavenly. Not “oh that’s nice” heavenly. More like “do I need a second slice and should I pretend it’s for later?” heavenly. Moist, rich, and dangerously addictive.

Between the amazing food and the top-tier service from Sheena and Austin, East Bay Deli on Main Street isn’t just a lunch spot — it’s an experience. 10/10 would happily eat my way through that menu again.

I think that this location has a very comfortable setting. It’s clean and the employees are nice and fast service. The food is excellent. I got the Chicken Cesar Wrap and I would say it was one of the best wraps I have eaten. The ingredients were fresh and it actually filled me up. DJ was the cook that prepared my food. I would suggest going to try their food you wont regret it.

I had a wonderful lunch experience at East Bay Deli-Downtown. Not only was my veggie crisp on a tomato wrap made with the perfect amount of pepper relish the fries were fresh and hot. Most of all the customer service given by Austin was Top Tier….Chef’s Kiss. His smile and personality are a true asset. He adds value to the restaurant.

Summer the cashier was very polite helping me decide on whats good because I have never been here before also Haley the cook stepped in and also helped me decide. Im just amazed at how they went out there way too make guests feel welcomed & find the right meal for me. It was delicious.

Very nice deli.
Great Ruben.
Great loaded Mexican potato. Except they forgot a couple toppings I paid extra for.
The cheesecake was a nice dessert as well.
Upbeat decor that’s kinda retro looking too.
I’d definitely order from here again. I’d just check my bag for accuracy!
