I took my friend out to eat lunch and we chose First Carolina Delicatessen because other reviewers had indicated that the club sandwich was good.
The first thing I noticed was the vibe of the place. Everyone, I mean everyone, who worked there was helpful, friendly, and smiling.
My friend got the club sandwich, and I got the “Italian Sailor” sandwich, both coming with ruffled potato chips and a dill pickle spear.
Both our sandwiches were delicious and toasted to perfection. We asked our server about the dessert selections and were surprised to find there were lots more things available than were even listed on the menu. My friend got a snickerdoodle cookie and I got the “Magic bar,” both of which were delicious.
The atmosphere is busy, but pleasant, the ideal mix of a small cafe and a deli. There were comfortable tables, booths and some covered outdoor tables and seats.
We were very pleased with the quality and pricing of the food and plan to return!

I stopped by First Carolina Delicatessen during one of my DoorDash pick-up orders, and let me tell you—this place is calling my name! I’m definitely coming back one day to try their sandwiches because they look way too good to pass up. There’s just something about this deli that screams original. You can feel it the moment you walk in—it has that classic, authentic vibe that’s hard to find nowadays.
To top it off, when I read the reviews after leaving, it was like the cherry on top of an already great impression. Everyone seems to love this place, and now I completely understand why. The girls at the register were so nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I seriously can’t wait to come back and see what all the hype is about firsthand! If the sandwiches taste as good as they look, I know I’m in for a treat.
Update 1-25-25: First Carolina Delicatessen is a gem! I stopped in recently and ordered a build-your-own sandwich. My creation included ham, Swiss cheese, cherry peppers (they don’t have banana peppers, but trust me, the cherry peppers are just as good), salt & pepper, oil, lettuce, and tomato on white bread. It was absolutely delicious.
Every flavor in the sandwich was perfectly balanced—the savory ham and creamy Swiss paired beautifully with the fresh veggies. And those cherry peppers? Wow! They’re spicy as heck, but they add such a unique kick to the sandwich that I couldn’t get enough of them. The sandwich also came with a side of chips and a slice of pickle, both of which were nice additions.
One thing I love about this spot is the unique ingredients they offer, like the cherry peppers. I’d never heard of them before coming here, but now I’m hooked! I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu. If you’re looking for a spot that offers fresh, flavorful food with a twist, First Carolina Delicatessen is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing place! My husband and I come in with a complicated order every time lol it’s nicknamed the greasy Italian, despite it being difficult they handle it with happy faces and no issues at all! I absolutely love this place and everyone who works here! I highly recommend it to everyone! They sell high quality deli meats and cheeses as well! Please give this place a visit!

Posting on behalf of my husband:
“We ate at First Delicatessen earlier today and it was awesome. Nathan(?) was a great server, and the sandwiches were just as good as always. My wife got the clam chowder and it was top tier — and that says a lot coming from me because I’m originally from the North Shore of Massachusetts.
But honestly, the standout for me was the pasta salad. I love tri-color pasta salad and I always pick it as a side anywhere that has it… and this one is easily the best I’ve ever had. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the flavor was spot on: a nice sweet taste with a vinegar-and-herb finish. By far the best pasta salad I’ve ever had.
We usually only make it in every few months when we’re in Greensboro, but I honestly might start making the 40-minute drive a few times a month just to stock up on the pasta salad for home. While we’re there, we’ll keep working our way through the sandwiches we haven’t tried yet.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.”

This is such a good place. Today was the second time I’ve been here.. (brought my mom for lunch) and the food and service have been amazing both times. Such a cool atmosphere, too.
I got the Sky Dog (get it hot!), which has Corned Beef, Turkey, Imported Ham, Provolone, Swiss, American, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Oil and Vinegar on a Sub Roll. It’s incredible. Definitely check this place out.

Co-worker recommended this place since it was close by so I gave it a try. I’m sure glad I did! I ordered an Italian sub. Had it hot per the employee’s suggestion. The sub was AMAZING!!! Roll was warm and flaky and you can’t beat Boar’s Head deli meat quality. Friendly staff and quick service. I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend.

First Carolina is delicious – haven’t met a sandwich I didn’t like there yet. This is the Asbury – chicken and prosciutto – every bite delicious. I ate half of it before being able to stop and get a photo.

Awesome selection of delicious sandwiches and subs! I don’t know if there’s another place around with more variety. Friendly service, food came out quickly, and the waitresses were very welcoming. I see why they stay so busy

Born and raised in Jersey, I have a soft spot for traditional delis. This has been my “go-to” place for true deli goodness since I landed in NC 10 years ago. Really good meats and cheeses, a cozy throwback feel/atmosphere, and consistent quality. Treat yourself to a doc browns soda while you’re here and thank me later – it’s the perfect accompaniment to a delicious sandwich and pickles that are better than they have any right to be. ❤️

We have been to this establishment several times. Unfortunately, this is not the first time we have been ignored. Tonight we were told to take a seat while they got us a table. A couple came in after us. After both parties waited they chose to seat the couple that came in after us. On a prior visit we had to wait to order drinks and food because they didn’t know we hadn’t ordered.
