Very tasty! Ive had the prego sandwich and the Erie coast sub and I definitely plan on going back. This is a great place for a simple lunch. Its also great for trying different German beers- you can buy individual bottles or build your own six pack.
First time there and it was delicious definately my favorite sub place, blows other sub places away.
Was really awesome food, but as of late getting it is more trouble than its worth. Called In an order and was told it will be done in an hour and a half, come to the store by the time given and food Id made yet and there isnt anyone there until the fire team comes in and I wait for the fire fighters to get their food before they started mine 2 hours for a sandwich... Last time I called for an order I was put on hold for 17 minutes while I herd casual casual conversation and a baby crying.. place needs to fix its self soon, really loved this place
Visited a few days ago, as I havent stopped in for a while. Was surprised to see prices have gone up which is no big deal prices have gone up everywhere and on everything so I expected it to come sooner than later. What really hurts is the young lady with the braces that made by food really skimped on everything. Alot less meat on my sandwiches. I dont mind paying more but dont give me less in return. Doubt ill be back unless they bring back the old portions.. Just lost a faithful almost daily customer.
First timer, highly impressed. Varied menu, great prices and the food was delicious. Will frequent more often.
Best sandwich in this state. You need to get two when youre there. One for now and one for later.
Great deli! Not an East Coast style but makes all the classics plus a ton of unique styles. Great quality ingredients and homemade soups. Busy at lunch but worth it. Not much to look at so focus on the food and explore the menu.
Amazing subs better then any other sub shops around fast and good quality food
Love the BLT, huge fan of Charlies! They are one of the hidden Gems of Dayton!
Delicious sandwiches and friendly staff. Will definitely come back.
Great food at reasonable prices for how great it is. Place is always packed at lunch so I order ahead when Im working in downtown Dayton and I never have a bad day when I have lunch here. Highly recommended!
Local, family owned, and operated little deli with BIG flavor. If you like a good cuban sandwich then what are you waiting for? All of the other food I have tried has been amazing as well. Including, but not limited to any of the burgers they offer. Even the cabbage rolls are amazing. They also offer a great selection of authentic German sausages, and beer.
I mean. Yall. These are the best deli sandwiches Ive ever had. I went basic the first time with a standard club on wheat and it was amazing. So I figured I would try the Prego Melt to see if they were more than just a one trick pony. The Prego Melt was phenomenal. They cut all your meat right as you order and theres a good selection of pops, chips, alcohol, and candy. Anytime Im in the area, Ill be stopping in.
We order Charlies about once a week, its usually pretty good. We ordered yesterday and they messed the whole order up. We ordered 3 sandwiches and the forgot to give us 1, the mushroom swiss burger. Once we went back to get the mushroom swiss burger, got home and it didnt have mushrooms on it. The other 2 we ordered were cheese steak, they didnt have any onions and peppers on them. When I called back to talk to the manager, she said that she thought I asked for no mushrooms on the mushroom swiss. Lol. Then she said well we can give you some onions and peppers if you come back up to the store. All I wanted was the orders re-made correctly and she wouldnt. I was very dissatisfied with this visit.
The best sandwiches in Dayton. Get a Cuban and a cabbage roll(s), your tastebuds will thank you immensely.
First time Visiting this place today and it was pretty good. I will definitely be back here againIt also there cabbage rolls Are Delicious
Really good food, prices are on point. Good simple sandwiches. I will go again and again.I gave it a 4 due to the wait time. I called ahead and it was a 30 min wait and then when I arrived it was another 15 minute wait.BUT THE FOOD!!!!! is work the wait.
Every sandwich Ive ever had here was great
Dropped in for lunch just on a drive-by....WOW! Grandma makes the soups, family behind the counter, amazing innovative and traditional sandwiches, I think my heart stopped 3 times looking at the pictures of the burgers. Cant wait to come back and try The BossBread comes from Evans Bakery down the street, this is what a neighborhood deli should be. Everyone should have one thats walking distance. Stop in, start at the top of the menu (top left) and you will not be sorry.
It is a friendly place. Went there for the first time in Friday to try out some sandwiches. We got the boss and cowboy. The boss was a good sandwich but u wouldnt order it if you dont like coleslaw . The cowboy us too sweet for my taste. Next time I go there I will try none sweet sandwiches. For now Ill give 3 stars but if the sandwich is better the next time Ill bump it up to 4 or 5
Charlie’s Imports is a spot with big nostalgia for me. When I was little we only called it “The German Store”. My Mom would ask my Dad to stop by there on his way home from work to get her German bread and chocolates and goods. Charlie’s has a deli in the front with sodas and candy, sandwiches and more. The back hosts a large variety of German imported items from candy to beer, bread, sauce mixes, tea and more. Definitely worth a visit
The only place in Dayton for authentic German rye bread. Great crew!
Great food! Ive been going to this deli for 30 years and have always been happy with my purchase.... I have tried different sandwiches over the years, and each one has been very good, but the black forest, and Cuban are my go to sandwiches! I highly recommend this awesome Dayton deli to anyone looking for a great sandwich, soup, or just a few different deli meats to take home and make your own. Thanks again to the entire staff at one of my favorite places to eat!!
I was expecting great things after reading the 5 star reviews, but...was disappointed. The $4.50 hot dog was a good hot dog. But no better than I’d make at home. The black bean soup was a major disappointment, it was if a can of beans was opened, diced onions were added and then it was microwaved. In fact, it appeared that all the soups were cold and put in the microwave to warm up. Service was slow and chaotic. Won’t return.
One of the best places in Dayton to get a good sandwich
Very much enjoyed the 2 pounder sandwich today!
These guys have great sandwiches. They get very busy during peak times, but work hard to get everyone taken care of
Love the old-school vibe. Huge selections of various sandwiches and such. Hard to make a choice, but probably cant go wrong with any of them.
This deli recently changed its owner or sold to another owner, used to be a great deli to go into and have lunch. The new owners don’t seem to care about the customers they have right in front of them. They jump to the customers who have called in orders or ordered door dash, the old owners was friendly made easy conversation and cared about the customers, I used to eat here 3-4 times a week for lunch, now I won’t be going back, not to mention the food wasn’t nearly as good as it used to be. I would of rather this place shut down then turn into the place it’s becoming. 2 months ago I would of gave 6 stars!
Top of the line sandwich shop. I cant believe that I hadnt discovered Charlies much sooner. Great selection that can be somewhat overwhelming. However, ask and a great suggestion will be offered. You will become a repeat customer.
Visiting from Columbus and just googled “Dayton sandwich shop.” What an absolute pleasure! The staff was friendly and welcoming and answered all of my silly questions with a smile. I got the Charlie Special, which is a fantastic classic sandwich with quality ingredients. Any time we are in town I will be making a stop to Charlie’s!
Excellent grub, great service! And a cool lil poochie named harley waitin to play tug with when ya come in!!! Best sammich in town
Coming from the West Coast I was surrounded by family run delis. I hhadnt had much luck finding any out here untill I stumbled across this place. Dont let the front fool you- while it make take a few mins if yoyd like a hot sandwich, just call ahead. They are worth every minute of the wait. Chris makes you feel welcome and like family. They have so many options on the menu theres no way you cant find a favorite- BUT they will make you anything you want if they have the ingredients. Top it off with great prices, you cant go wrong- UNLESS you dont go. So what are you waiting for?
Best little deli on the planet. Been going there since the early 80s. Nobody makes better macaroni salad (or anything else). The eating area in the middle of the foreign food section makes for a great atmosphere. They have a nice imported beer selection too. I was sort of sorry to see the original owner retire, but being retired myself, I can only hope hes enjoying it. He deserves it.
Great sandwiches! Come support this local business
Great sandwiches and soups. Chris and Davidson at the counter were very friendly. Great steak sandwich and the sweet onion potato salad is fantastic. Its not fancy, but the food and service there is excellent.
Nothing but good memorys of this place from my childhood. My father ( JEFF UHRIG SR)use to take me there almost every other day with either 25 or fifty cents for penny candy, but i always walked out with at least a dollar or two thats only because my cousin tracy worked there and she allway it up.Good people, good food, good German liquor and 🍺And of course the penny candy..Jeff Jr
Awesome sammichs! Huge portions, cheap prices. The dude that owns the place and the girl that work the counter are very friendly. Ive been going there a few times a month for the past 2 or 3 months and get a different sammich every time, I havent been disappointed yet. And the German potato salad is off the hook good! You owe it to yourself to stop in and try it. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
Try Charlies Deli at 429 Troy Street in Dayton, Ohio. The sandwiches are worth the trip. Small store front with a Deli in the back plus a dining area. A very unlikely place with great food. Large variety of made to order sandwiches hot, fresh & delicious. Best BLT sandwiches around. Theyre very generous with the meat. Excellent Yipee-Ki-Yay Beef, Swiss Cheese, Mushrooms, Horseradish sauce! Ask for extra hot if you want a kick. The Corned Beef Ruben melts in your mouth. No kidding. Order your sandwiches the way you want them. You can call your order in for pick up, or you can order at the Deli. $$$ runs from $5.00-$10.00 depending what you order & what you add to your order. Very friendly and accommodating staff to serve you. Lots of folks in and out buying hot sandwiches and other foods. A great German Mom & Pop eatery. Please support our local businesses. A great find in Dayton, Ohio near Childrens Medical Center.
This place makes great sandwiches! Very large selection. If you cant find a sandwich you like on this menu, you are way to picky an eater.
This hidden gem has wonderful sandwiches and soups. The frat melt and Cuban are my two favorite. The cabbage rolls are also amazing. They have a wide selection of old timey bottled soda pop and plenty of craft beers. Theyve got a small area in the back for dining in.
Charlies Deli is an absolutely incredible place for a good bite to eat. While service isnt as fast as a fast food restaurant, you dont feel like you are waiting forever. However, you dont come to Charlies for the prompt service, you come for the food. And with all of the choices of sandwiches, there is something there for everyone. Their food tastes delicious and at a price that is hard to argue with. The staff is incredibly friendly and love talking and getting to know their customers.This is a must go if you are in the area. The only downside is they are only open during work hours during the weekday and not at all on weekends, so I take every opportunity for Charlies when I can.
Been here many times for lunch. Great food! Nice staff. Owner works the front lines and will chat you up as you move through. Lines are long but they move fast. A few tables in the back if you want to eat in. A lot to see in a tiny place. Parking lot is small and the aisles are narrow. But it brings in a steady crowd of happy customers.
Charlies never disappoints! I love their food & old fashioned groceries that remind me of my childhood. Simple & homey eat-in area. I highly recommend Charlies!
Probably THE Best Deli in Dayton, this deli is run by a skeleton crew and usually has a long line at lunch time. I first went to the deli by accident and was so blown away, Its become a lunch time staple of mine for a while. The sandwiches are really inexpensive, but the flavors are amazing. Some of the combinations are really surprising. Try the Dalton if you want something different, or the 2-lb sandwich if youre hungry. I like adding an egg or changing up the mustard or horseradish from time to time. I know that every time, the food is going to be good! If youre looking for a new place or a good sandwich go here!
Decided to try this place out for lunch today and it was so delicious I stopped by after work to pick up a couple of sandwiches and potato salad for dinner. I will definitely be returning.
Finally went yesterday its been on my list and I definitely wasnt dissapointed. I had the Charlies special and it was delicious.Will definitely be coming back!
This place is AMAZING. Lovely little hole in the wall type of diner, but I cant stay away! They have a gas station style selection of drinks, chips, cookies and snacks to choose from while youre waiting on your sandwich to be built.
Dont let the area fool ya! This deli has been around forever, and if you dont know about it- youre seriously missing out! This deli provides the largest option and best tasting subs/ sandwiches around. From something simple like a turkey on white to an extravagant sub made up by the owners. But they are all great! Whenever we are in town we make a stop in. They also sell German goods, so if youre looking for the large bottles of Maggie like our Omas used, this is also your place for that 😜 I recommend the Cuban sandwich on crusty bread! 💚
We love Charlies Deli. We have ordered from them for the last 3 yrs for our SB Parties and the Vegetable Lasagna is loved by all. it is by far the BEST tasting Lasagna we have had bar none.Would highly recommend this place :)
From the moment you arrive in that restaurant they give you a great feeling. Very congenial stuff, it is a lovely restaurant to enjoy with buddies or with your date. delicious cooking, specialist chief cook and stuff, modest cost and courteous service. Warmly recommended.
Home town favorite. Specialty sandwiches, subs, soups, sandwiches eat in, and carry out. Specialty meats, some international, treats, and spirits, along with all your regular delights. Lunch time the busiest. The parking lot offers free parking, yet is often filled while adaquiet street parking on the curb youll find no problem visiting Charlies. Nice people, great food, and friendly atmosphere. Oh! Potatoes soup, cabbage rolls just so much 5 stars for Charlies.
Good food fast and friendly service
Rob & Becky sold the place & they said they kept Becky recipes but not the same. Ham wasnt like Becky made it in her recipe, cabbage rolls rice was not cooked. Hard rice. Very disappointed in the whole meal. Sorry to the new owners but you have a lot of work to do. Good luck guys.
Amazing sandwiches! Definitely get the Cuban - it is arguably the best one in the area. A hole-in-the-wall type place. Seating in the back. Friendly and helpful staff!
Such good sandwiches and the German potato salad is delicious! Its easier to take good to go, but you can dine in. You can also get great bread! Also a convenience store if you just need a drink or some candy. Its not open late, but its sooo good if youre out during the day! Parking isnt ideal, but you can usually find something on a side street. Worth it!
Always great service and the best deli sandwiches in town I have found. The cabbage rolls are phenomenal and their soups are really good too. Cant go wrong with a menu choice.
This is one of the best delis I have been too. The new owners are the best and friendly service . I will make this one of my regular places to go to lunch. Broad sandwich menu and they have breakfast menu alsoYou have to try the Frat and Cuban
Really disappointed me and my husband used to go there at least once a week to order Cubans. Definitely have not enjoyed our sandwichs the last few times that weve been in there. Weve figured out if the owner isnt there making the sandwiches theyre not getting made properly, theyre always something wrong. We both got Cubans today an both had a larger then normal pile of meat. Mine though was on the end piece of the bread and the top was put on backwards and was so small and thin I couldnt even eat my sandwich, it was so messy. it was just a pile of meat being held together by the cheese. The slices of pickles was a tad discolored and didnt look appetizing either. I havent complained for a while because I figured it was by chance but we was in a hurry and had estimates to go do
Charlies Deli is one of Daytons best kept secrets. If youre hungry for a sandwich, youre in the right place. Yummy! Excellent food, great service!
Rod and Becky- love you guys. It is so good to have you in the neighborhood.The lines are long here for a couple of reasons: 1) Its probably lunch time when you go there and 2) their food is that good. Do yourself a favor and download their menu from their website and call in your order. They will appreciate it and your wait time will be reduced in half.As for the comments about rude staff, I know that when they are slammed, tempers can get short but Im sure that its not directed at any one specific person unless they are deserving of it. Besides that, anyone can have a bad day and deserve a second chance.They have catered lunches and events for us (Globe Motors) in the past, and there is never any complaints about the food except why didnt I get one of those brownies. You snooze - you lose!My favorite sandwich is their U2 on wheat, toasted with spicy mustard. Great blend of flavors. Its a little messy but worth every bite. Honorable mentions include the Yipee-Ki-Yay, Smokey the Bear, Cuban, and the Mariachi.
Great food, no doubt. Simply fantastic. Its the only reason I tolerate the check out incompetence. Have patience and youll survive the deli-nazi atmosphere. Not recommended for dine-in. Let me reiterate....the sandwiches are fantastic.
Great food. Friendly people
Charlies Special on a wheat sub bun, Awesome! And their Chef Salad will fill you up by itself! Great food!
I have been here 7 times in the past 5 weeks, and each time I was extremely satisfied. The sandwiches are great, the pastas and potatoes are great, the staff is just fine, and even during long lines for the lunch rush I was in and out in 5 minutes. This place is awesome. Thank you, Charlies, you guys are wonderful.
Customer service is horrible no greeting when you walk in I stood at the register ready to pick up my food with nobody in line and still waited ten minutes before they even asked if I need help as I watched them make food while I was standing there anything hot goes straight into the microwave they don’t hide it or nothing just pops it in and they call it homemade !!!!
It really doesnt get any diveyer than Charlies. But this is hands down the best sandwhich place I know of in Dayton. My go-to is the Mariachi. Ive never tasted a sandwhich to compare it with. Shaved beef, cheese, sour cream, peppers, all toasty and warm in a rye sub bun. . .My next favorite is the Cuban. But really the selection of sandwiches and possible fillings is so huge I dont know how anyone couldnt find something that suits them there. They also have salads, soups, a large selection of chips and munchies, some junk food and sodas and beers. Oh and imported food in the back (not sure from what country).You can eat in the back room too, but Ive always taken my order to go.
Delicious fresh made to order deli sandwiches at very reasonable prices. If you have never been you should go.I started going there when I worked downtown. Now retired,, still go
Ive had a few different sandwichs which were all good but I think my favorite is the chef salad with the house dressing.. love it, I dont think Ive had anything bad.
Awesome SANDWICH🥪 every time ☺
Delicious sandwiches, amazing selection of hard-to-find deli meats and breads. A large portion of the condiments are made in-house, and the meats are sliced freshly for each order.Worth the drive, worth the stop.
Great place. They have great deli sandwiches and subs and actually have meat on them unlike a lot of the crappy corporate eaterys. Mom and Pop style setting and staff is friendly too.
Excellent sandwiches and subs! Would eat there daily if I could..fast and friendly service.You should definitely try it..🤘😎👍
Good place to have food. Me and my daughter love this place we usually go here for dining out. We love the food and the environment. Service was also great and they take good care of me n my daughter.
Very much enjoyed the reuben sandwich today. Quality corned beef and excellent overall flavor. Looking forward to trying a cabbage roll next time.
O---my GOD it is super duper Delicious 😋 From the Muffin 🧁 Man 👍👍🥰
Best dang cabbage rolls in Dayton! There is nothing that warms the soul in the dead of winter like one of Beckys Cabbage Rolls. They are warm, well seasoned, and the sauce is tomato-incredible. The other nice thing is this is not their first rodeo when sending rolls to go. When you get to the counter hey have them packaged nicely so you dont have to worry about juicing your car by the time you reach your destination. The ambience is nill, while the service is quite comical. One word of advice, if your in a hurry...call ahead. It gets rocking in there from 11-12!
Inexpensive place for a great sandwich
If youre looking for a great little hole in the wall look no further. They have great customer service, tasty food, and a good variety of beer. I definitely recommend Charlies.
They make the best sandwiches been going here for years the double decker is the best amazing taco soup also
Eat here a couple times a week at least. The cowboy is my favorite sandwich. Bursting with great flavor! Call in if you are on a time restriction.
Excellent steak sub with mushroom sauce. Ive also had the Cuban which is an excellent sandwich but the bread is not like a Cuban sandwich from Tampa
Family owned small cute little restaurant, amazing food little more expensive then say McDonald’s but the food is definitely worth more it’s made from scratch with love and the owners dog is literally the cutest thing.
New mgmt but same great food and service. Hubby brought me there for the first time 13 + yrs ago. Not a better sandwich shop anywhere!!! (And ive been to a lot of wheres)
I am the new owner here at Charlies, I have spent the last few months learning the business. I am trying to do everything the same way it has always been done. If anyone has had a bad experience here please give me an opportunity to make it up to you. I try to treat every customer like they are the only customer, but sometimes that is not possible. I am open to any complaints but I would love for them to come to me because I WILL make it right!!!
Great sloppy reubens. Some German products. Decent deli selection. It is an old deli in an old ethnic section of Dayton. No fancy tables just good food.
I have tried a few different sandwiches from Charlies now. I can say that it is one of my favorite deli shops in Dayton. You will not be disappointed.
Great place for a real, sliced to order sandwiches. The only issue is picking what one you want. I will be back to try other ones. They also have a selection of important beers, and other treats
Fabulous, as always! The best deli sandwiches in Dayton. Had a Wild Willy and cabbage rolls. So yummy!!
Sandwiches are really awesome the mariachi is my favorite on rye sub bun.prices are very reasonable for what you get. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS!!
If you have never had a sandwich at Charlies, you need to go do it right now!!! You will not be disappointed, I promise.😋🤠
Call it in. If not you will wait. Good price. A+ food. Dont get no better
Old school deli in Old North Dayton. Excellent sandos and selection of German beers with seating room in the back. New ownership also serving homemade cabbage rolls.
Love everything here. But favs are chef salad, their house and ranch dressings. And the tuna melt, warm. Yummmm!
Great meats, cheeses, sandwiches, beers, soups. Just a great deli. And Chris, the owner, will soon be adding his personal specialties to the menu. Cant wait!
Smelt good cant wait to eat there
I love being able to go to the deli I grew up with and now can grow old with. Love Charlies Special and the cabbage rolls.
Great place! Amazing food!! Awesome people! Must try!
Best cabbage rolls around. Great way to kickoff a new year (German tradition) or any other time. Deli is as good as it gets.
New owners but Same Great Charlies! Thanks for keeping a Dayton Tradition alive ! Deli meats and German bread just like always.
I love this place! They have amazing unique sandwiches and terrific homemade soups. I love the cheesy chicken tortilla soup!
Friendly staff, Family owned, & greatest German Beer selection I have seen in years. Live in Cincy and make a point to stop bye whenever Im in Dayton.
This place is AWFUL!! The meat is low grade and greasy. The employees are rude and disrespectful. We have ate there twice, first time was tolerable. The second time I got sick and they messed up our order on our overpriced subs. Save your money for a place that is worth it.
Awesome sandwiches Best in North Dayton...
One of my favorite places for subs. They have very good quality food and homemade sides that are tasty also. ❤️
The food is always well prepared and tasty, cashiers hands over fantastic service. I like how neat it is and ambience. Would recommend to others.
Best sandwichs in town & large selection. Friendly. Fantastic cabbage rolls. Ham salad is great!
We use Charlies for all of our office meetings. Customers always comment on the quality and taste of the food. I go there 3-4 times a week for lunch!
Great homemade subs and other items like the cabbage rolls! Also nice it is a small convenience store as well with a variety of drinks and snacks!
Was referred by a friend for catering. Owner was extremely rude and blamed it on business. Havent tried the food but I heard that the store is known for some staff being rude to customers. Put your money into the hands of someone who appreciates it. Not this place.
This deli is outstanding in customer service and there food is among the best Ive have since moving g to Dayton thier pricing is also very reasonable nothing but smiles for this family ran and oriented carryout n caterer.i will make it a permanent part of my to do list.
Excellent sandwiches, customer service and reasonable prices... my new fav deli!
They have the best sandwiches in Dayton! Their German potato salad and pasta salads are the best Ive ever had!
Since the new owner Ive noticed new people coming in. The food hasnt changed, still tastes great if not better. I recommend this little whole in the wall any day.
Amazing environment always great food and always great service. Most friendly staff ever. They really make you feel like family.
A real German kitchen. If anyone loving this place as, as I do. Try the worst kitchen on second st. Aurora Illinois!!! Seriously dont miss out on a great treat
OMG!! This place is phenomenal!! 1st time there & already thinking about what Im going to try next!! Get your order in early for pick up & well worth your money!!! 😍
Rob, Becky & crew are the best.Conversation is always friendly and enjoyable.Food is fresh delicious and made the order.I love this place
Man i been looking for a good deli in Dayton for a long time!! Im definitely late to the party smh.... amazing food! I will be a regular sooooonnnnn 😉
Great food friendly ,fast and worth every cent!
Charlies Deli is the best they have a great menu the problem is the lines for food start forming at 10:45 its best to get a menu and call your order in early because by 11:30 there will be a line 10 people deep waiting to order and to pick up their sandwiches they have a very nice dining room in the back where you can sit down and eat your lunch many people get their food to go they just have outstanding deli sandwiches
The food here is unbelievably good... I drive in from huber to eat here as often as possible!
Have loved this place for years. Under new ownership but they are continuing the tradition of serving great deli food.
I swear they have the best sandwiches by far. Top knock.
This place clearly knows how to serve their customers. Constantly with a welcoming demeanor. The food is reasonably priced, constantly flavorful and clean.
My favorite place. There is NOTHING like it in the Dayton area. Great sandwiches and homemade soups....A must try!
A little slow because short staffing and being completely busy but well worth the wait highly recommend
The only place for 100 miles that has authentic German specialties. The staff are awesome and everyone is treated like family. I love that place!
Havent went in years and I went back for the first time this week. New owners, same staff, same amazing sandwiches.
One of my main spots to grab something to eat. good location, well organised, and fantastic service. 5 stars!
Another successful stop! I was recommended the Cuban and it was fantastic. Cant wait to come back and try something else!
Delicious food, good drink selection, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Old historic interior and exterior makes it interesting
They dont have enough stars on here they would get a thousand stars from me ! Their food is awesome . Cabbage rolls and potatoe soup is the bomb....excellent !!!
Excellent experience, I was concerned with the ownership change because I have been going there my whole life under the old owner but the new management has done an excellent job with the already amazing business.
Been needing this place for 20 years. They always got my Cheesesteaks on point.
This place is a great neighborhood deli. Everything there is consistently good.
Great dining experience. The service and food was great. average meal price was around $10-$12. Will definitely come back!
Always great sandwiches, never disappointed!! Just had a new grilled mariachi IT WAS THE BOMB!!!
Amazing food and service a place you must try of you love a good hand crafted sandwich
Excellent, new ownership, but still Great! Of you like old Casio ed sandwiches, deli sandwiches, and you love to eat, Eat Here!!!

Best Deli sandwiches in town. . great portions for the price. And qualty ingredients.
Charlies is a great little hometown favorite. Really good sandwiches and interesting European snacks too.
I love there food and the service is wonderful and good people working here at Charlies Del & Catering ❤🤗
I usually get the cuban sandwich but decided to get the cuban quesadilla today. It was AWESOME. I highly recommend it.
I live in the neighborhood and the place is awesome. It is a shining beacon in the drab landscape of OND . Reminds me of my childhood and time stands still when I go thru those doors.
Well the place was sold so Charlie isnt there anymore, I got some cabbage rolls, they were great, hope they keep up the good food.
The best deli sandwiches in the state hands down. Been eating here since 1996.
My family has been going here for years. Good prices, awesome food. An old Dayton gem!!
Great food and service.
Best sandwiches in town! The cabbage rolls and the German potato salad are awesome too.
They have quite a unique sandwich selection. Worth the stop and you have to try the Dalton burger
Best little deli! Everything on the menu is excellent! I visit at least twice a week.
Great sandwiches and good prices!
The only thing I can say try to steak and cheese sub it was excellent great place Im going to try roast beef next time. Great job
Always coming up with new sandwiches plus the menu has some of the best ones is dayton
Delicious sandwiches, friendly proprietors, wonderful selections of German delicacies, treats and drinks. Dont miss this place!
Delicious deli with soups and sides for days! Huge menu and a local vibe you can only get here!
Nice little deli. With seating in the back. Wide variety of cold cuts Under new management.
I Love love love the chicken and dumplings omg. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.
Charlies Deli is a Hallmark of Greater Old North Dayton. Personally recommend the Yippee Kye Yay
Great subs. I havent had the same one yet. All have been great 👍
If you havent had a Ruben from here with a German beer you have not lived at all
Ive been shopping here for years and love the variety of German Goodies and the best Deli sandwiches around
Love this place. My dads been taking me here since I was a little girl.
The food is great and inexpensive the cabbage rolls are great I asked for one on toasted rye best thing ever!!!.
Loaded with mayo on top and bottom and bread(kaiser) was as hard as cardboard
Great food, great prices! Friendly staff. Thanks for the great sandwich.
Great subs fresh and sandwiches good company
This is not your average sandwich shop all of the sandwiches and other dishes are very unique an excellent flavor combination
So so so amazingly fantabulous! I got the Cuban sandwich and a pickled egg!!! Mmmmmm was so so delicious!! 😁😁❤❤👍👍
Sketchy neighborhood but the food is great. Beer selection is awesome. If you go get some landjager.
Great overstuffed sandwiches. Delicious cabbage rolls. Friendly staff.
Foods a 5 out of 5 stars wish they were open longer in the day and wish they were open on at least Saturday’s .... and the woman at the register always is kinda rude
Old old style deli, but delicious food, sandwiches, fries, baklava
Great sandwiches & soups.Also a great selection of import foods and good beer.
Great sandwiches made fresh while you wait. Been in Old North Dayton for decades.
Great Cuban!
The best potato soup Ive ever had in my life!!!! Fax or call in your order to skip the line
Absolutely the best deli in East Dayton hands down!
Still great sandwiches, I think its time to renovate but that my opinion
Food is amazing! Good prices and great service! Best in Dayton by far!!!!☺
First time going there. Always pass it. Great spot for food. Do t sleep on this place.
Best food and customer service.Family owned and operated since 1964!!!
The food is good but the owner treats his employees like trash and I had have an issue... With how he trrats Africa American people
Very good experience mom and pop store customer service could be a little bit better thats why it doesnt get 5 stars
Too many customers without face masks, didnt feel safe.
Huge variety of sandwiches available made to order. Definitely worth a stop.
Great food and drinks dine in and has a juke box

2022-04-20Hands down, the best deli in Dayton. Wow. Just wow. Ill be adding this to my must stop list when Im near downtown. Usingers German sausage from Milwaukee, truly messy and delicious sandwiches, and perfectly salted soups. How have I lived here for 8 years and never been here?! (In photo - half cuban sandwich and chicken spaetzel soup)

2022-05-16I do not remember seeing tables, but I was taking mine to go. Plenty of sandwich choices with plenty of meat. A little tight inside but one of those hole in the wall best kept secrets places..unusual hours so be aware of that. My wife liked my leftovers and would eat there again.

2021-07-16Stopped in again this week for their Burger Week Gatlin-Burger. It is sooo good. Onion bun with black raspberry jam, pepper Jack cheese, bacon, & sauteed onions. They also have tons of different sandwiches, cabbage rolls and deli salads.

2021-06-30This is about a 23 minute drive for me and totally worth it! Small, unassuming deli thats been in business 57 years! In old North dayton. The list of sandwiches and other options is almost overwhelming- mainly because everything sounds delicious! Order at the deli, pick up at the counter. I went with the cuban, German potato salad and the chicken spaetzle soup (to take home). The food did not disappoint! Omg. So fresh, so delicious and so messy! Get extra napkins! Everyone working was busy busy and super friendly. We stayed and ate in the back. They also have a nice selection of German beers! DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK!! Love this place.

2021-02-17Ive been coming in to Charlies since I was a boy. No bells and whistles or fancy advertising... Just delicious sandwich, soup, and other delicious surprises! If Im feeling exceptionally hungry the pounder or 2 pounder sure does hit the spot! :-)

2018-06-26Support this local business and be rewarded with tons of incredible, delicious deli sandwiches. You could go to Subway or Penn Station like a chump, or get over to Charlies for more variety and more flavor! I recommend the Reuben and the Hatch! There are also several imported German beers and boxed and canned sweets and ingredients. Yummm!
