First Carolina Delicatessen

Great sandwiches and salads. Their wide variety makes it easy to find something you're in the mood for. Staff is also always very friendly!

Great deli with an old school vibe and terrific food/service to match! With so many great options for lunch right by UNCG I'm very glad to have found another homerun on my normal weekly commute. Decor is super nostalgic and they proudly serve boar's head products. I had the regular Italian sub and loved every bite.Dig the great tunes they play which really reminded me of riding with my grandfather in his car around town as a boy. More...

I'm originally from Philly and have been in Greensboro for 11 years now and am annoyed that I haven't found this place before today.  I had the Taylor Ham and Cheese sandwich and it was as good as my favorite sandwich shop up north, including the Kaiser roll. I'll definitely be back. More...

Good reviews on Yelp convinced my wife and me to give it a try. Reviews were spot on. Good service and great food. I had the Sailor sandwich and my wife had broccoli and cheddar quiche. My sandwich was very good and also plenty big. Taking half home for later. Wife loved her quiche. I'm not a big fan of quiche but I tasted a bite and it was really good. Will definitely be back and will try something different on the menu. More...

I have always drove by here and they seem to always be busy, which is a good sign. So today I decided to finally try them out. I did take out and got the Italian sub... bread was fresh and sandwich was flavorful. I got the regular size which was a perfect lunch. It came with a bag of utz chips and rang up to less than $8. I definitely will come back. More...

I have never been disappointed here.  Great meat and cheeses, good bread, and a friendly staff. Also they do something with their ranch, either the brand or how its made in house but it's amazing. The italian is top-notch, but they have excellent roast beef as well. The cookies are good when I feel the need for a sugar rush. My only thing would be their beer selection is a bit uninsprinig, but I'm not normally looking to drink at lunch time, so that doesn't change my opinion at all. More...

Visited this deli while on vacation, nice small Boars Head deli. Our server was quick and very attentive. I would suggest the Italian sub, comes with chips and a pickle.

Unexpected find . . . A New Jersey style Deli in Greensboro, North Carolina, WOW. Not only Borshead meets and cheeses but most sandwiches are priced from $7 to $9 each with whipped potato chips. Our sandwiches were large, we only ate one half and saved the other for a late dinner. Highly recommended. More...

The first time I came here I didn't know exactly what to order. This time, I ordered what someone else bought and brought to my house. It was the veggie sandwich on pumpernickel-the Verona I think and we added smoked salmon. Oh my goodness! So good! Everything is fresh from the protein to the bread to the vegetables which have nice crisp every time. It comes with either chips or carrot sticks and a pickle spear. They have other sides like potato salad baked beans etc and desserts galore. I'm not sure why I've driven by and not considered trying this place more but I'm glad I was reintroduced. More...

A decent place to get a sandwich! The atmosphere takes you back to the old school. Very vintage all the way down to the old coke cooler they use. The waitress was very nice and tried her best to make sure everything was good. They use boar head meat here which is good stuff. Overall my Italian sub was okay. I feel like they could use better bread and maybe more sauce, I'm not sure I just felt like it was missing something. Other than that definitely check them out it's worth a shot. More...

Well made food and friendly service! Only downside was lots of single-use plastic and styrofoam. Would be five-stars if they switched to reusable dish-ware or recyclable paper products!

Great food and service. Walked thru the door and instantly greeted by the staff and owner. You can customize your order, there are no rules. Clean facility. I ordered a Skydog and made a few substitutions with no upcharge. I received my food pretty quick. 3pm is a great time to come because it isn't really busy. Great place, food and people. More...

I've lived in NC/Greensboro for 5 years and this is the first place I've found in Greensboro where you can get NY deli style cold cut sandwiches. I didn't see a breakfast menu, so still looking for a place that does legit breakfast sandwiches, but for other sandwiches, this place does a good job. Wish they'd put a location in downtown Greensboro. More...

Nothing fancy, just good ingredients in great combinations to make super tasty sandwiches.  The Rutherford is an excellent roast beef sandwich I modify with rye instead of roll.  Yum.

I've been to this place twice now and loved it both times. It is a must try if you are near the campus of UNCG. I order my sandwich with a side of carrots with a dressing because the dressing is made in house. Next time I go I am going to try one of their cookies. It's a smart choice for them to have them beside the cash register as you check out. More...

I Loveee this place for an excellent sandwich!!! Their sandwiches are served either hot or cold  and my absolute favorite is the super turk, comes with a side of chips or carrots for $7. 85, pretty good for boars head meat on a sandwich!! I stopped by with my friends that live in Greensboro and had lunch and our server Adam was excellent, great sense of humor even though we were being quite needy and attentive he was very patient with us!Definitely will come back! It gets bust during lunch hours so make sure you're there early to grab a table! More...

Tonight, I got a takeout order. I ordered the roast beef on a sub roll, with Munster cheese and various other toppings. They left a few toppings off (onions and sprouts). I also got a side of their German potato salad which is served warm. I ordered extra meat on the sub as I don't like a lot of bread. It seemed to have a decent amount of meat on it from what I could tell. I've literally probably eaten roast beef 3 times in my life, and I was in the mood for something different, so that's why I got it tonight. It had a fresh, unadulterated flavor, which I appreciated because I'm not a big fan of meats that taste like preservatives. Combined with the other toppings and condiments, it was great. I will say they seemed to skimp out on the toppings such as lettuce, slaw, and sauerkraut. I had an okay amount of tomatoes. There were a perfect amount of hot cherry peppers because those things pack some heat!I ordered a side of Russian dressing and added that and boars head deli mustard to the sub when I got home, and it was very good. I melted the bottom half with cheese in the toaster oven (I guess they got confused and thought I just wanted the roll hot, but that's okay with me). After I added onions from my house, it was even better. I particularly enjoyed the cherry peppers, which had an excellent flavor and spiciness. The potato salad was okay. It was too sweet. I remember when I had German potato salad before somewhere, it had more vinegar to compensate for the sweetness, but this tasted like it had little to no vinegar. If you have a mayonnaise phobia like my mom, you may really enjoy it (she liked it a lot).I don't eat subs too often, but I would definitely come back here again. When you order a sub, there's a lot more to it than a sandwich and you'll probably have a half for leftovers later like I did! Oh and I love the pickles. More...

I've been coming to First Carolina for many years. Alongside Jack's, it was one of my favorite haunts while in grad school. I remain impressed by the quality of their sandwiches, cheeses, bread, and service. I usually get the Italian sub fully loaded w/ extra hot peppers. Goes nicely with a cheerwine. It's also not a bad place to bring work, assuming it's not during the lunch rush. Highly recommended local deli. More...

I like First Carolina Deli, it is a reliable place to grab a tasty sandwich, I would say my favorite is probably their steak sandwich. The steak is pretty flavorful and doesn't need a whole lot of sauce or cheese to make it memorable. I have also gotten the small Italian Sub which is a good size for what you get. I always get takeout so I can't speak to the wait service but the person manning the counter is always friendly and efficient. I also like that they carry Dr. Brown's sodas; although the first time I went in, I didn't even see them in the back and settled for a fountain drink. I love a good cream soda! More...
