The Honey Mustard Pork & Reuben sandwiches are by far the best in the area. Always high quality and great service too. I highly recommend this place to everyone read more

After passing their building many times, I finally stopped in. SO glad I did! The owner (I think) made me the best Rueben I've ever had! Crispy, toasted rye bread...juicy corned beef...tangy sauerkraut...melted cheese...YUM! He even talked Knicks basketball with me...I can't wait to go back!! Highly recommend! read more

I have lived in South Tampa 17 years and I had never tried this place. Until this week. What a mistake. Pork sandwich was a soggy salty piece of crap I threw away in the trash after 3-4 bites. Clam chowder tasted fishy and under seasoned. $40 for terrible lunch. Will never return. read more

Barrow's is a small, iconic, South Tampa sandwich shop. I have had lunch there 3 or 4 times a year for many years. It recently changed hands. The new owners freshened up the place (even a new trash can) but didn't mess with the quality of the food. Nice people. Great sandwiches. My favorite is their egg salad with a side of potato salad. (No health food judgements, please!) Nice people here and service is fast, so if you are looking for a great sandwich at a reasonable price served quickly, this is your place. read more

Pastrami melt was absolutely delicious. Wes behind the counter hooked it up. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend read more

Great little sandwich shop!! Very clean, Great service. Hubby and I were looking for a new place for lunch and Barrow's did not disappoint. My husband had a Reuben, and I had a delicious sandwich on what seemed like fresh pumpernickel. We both had chicken soup, which is not made on the premises, but seemed homemade. It hit the spot! We also ordered one of each of their macaroni, pasta, and potato salad. Once again, everything very homemade and delicious. We can't wait to come back. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Inviting old-school lunch place. The fellow behind the counter who took my order was welcoming and my lunch came quickly. Unfortunately, the food that I ordered was just so-so. Sparse, over-large veggies floated in weak tomatoey broth with a bit of pasta. The seasoning of the chicken soup fared a bit better but the veg was also too big and kind of undercooked. The pastrami sandwich was adequate but didn't have the sizzling flavor that I expect. read more

Love it when I roll the dice and win! Just landed in Tampa and needed something to hold me over until dinner. Love walking in and the owner not only takes my order but delivers to me when prepared. I had the Philly which is a cross between a Philly Cheesesteak and a Cuban. Delicious. Will definitely return when in town! read more

Barrow's Gourmet Deli - Delis Near Me - Tampa, Florida

their chicken salad sandwiches to die for. and I've been told they have 34 other great sandwiches.

Immediately I was impressed that their website updates the Rios daily and has a comprehensive and easy to understand menu! We decided what we wanted and called in. The man on the phone was so polite, friendly and efficient! Noon on a weekday and still 10-15 min only for pickup. The soup that day was cream of asparagus and it was SO GOOD. Perfectly wrapped to be transported safely home and piping hot. I went with the egg salad on a whim and it was perfection. My friend had the turkey Rueben and loved it too! Both came with a wrapped pickle for the sandwich and crackers for the soup. All very fresh, homemade and tasty. Additionally the prices were fair and Al the sandwiches came in a half or whole size and soup a cup or bowl. Will definitely order here again! (Also plenty of easy parking for Togo!) read more

This is a very good deli with delicious sandwiches and friendly service. The bread is very fresh. I love the daily soups as well. I will definitely eat here again. read more

2nd time trying Barrow's after living in this area for almost 10 years. Although the food was ok, there are much better deli sandwich and soup options in this area. I was pretty disappointed in both the soup and sandwich I ordered. The bread on the sandwich tasted like it was a month old; dry, crumbly, flavorless and stale. The bread was such poor quality it did not keep my sandwich together and it was falling apart with every bite. The soup was potato bacon and was all broth, bi chunks of potatoes and just tiny bits of bacon. It was also very watery and thin when that type of soup is usually thick and creamy. read more

Home of one of, if not THE best Italian sandwiches I've ever had The scratch made Italian dressing REALLY sets this above the rest!! Stopped by on my lunch break and was pleased to see there were only a couple seats open so I knew I was in for something great. customer service was fast and friendly and they even knew several of their regulars by name! Call me crazy but thats just something you don't see much of today and it really adds a very human touch to the service. 100/10 will be recommending to anybody looking for a phenomenal sandwich. KEEP IT UP BARROWS read more

I got the Cuban & Roast Beef Cheddar, and both are amazing. You can tell this is one of few places that really put their heart and soul into the food. Appreciate you Wes, and I'll be coming back soon to try some more! read more

Best sandwich spot in town! The ingredients are super fresh, the bread is perfectly toasted, and the flavor combos are on point. Staff is friendly and quick, and the whole place has a great vibe. read more

This is my dad and I's favorite lunch spot. No frills, good food. Their prices are very fair and they have large yet uncomplicated menu. Our favorite is the curry chicken salad sandwich. I typically get a half chicken salad and cup of their daily soup. Barrow's is a staple sandwich shop in my family and I recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and delicious lunch in South Tampa. read more

Fantastic spot! Super friendly staff, cozy space, very clean. I would recommend anyone who wants a good sandwich and/or to check it out

Barrow's is a hidden gem in South Tampa. Great food, quick service. Not pretentious. This is a great non-chain lunch spot to try out!

A new favorite place to get a sandwich. My husband says he knows why this place isn't as popular as other delis in the area - the clientele is older. I asked him if that made his sandwich taste worse. He begrudgingly said no. I'll admit, this is not a place to see and be seen, but man is their chicken salad sandwich to die for. I could write the review with just this one sentence: get the chicken salad sandwich; you're welcome. Since I'm a wordy person I'm going to write more. This place is tiny, but it isn't that busy. Even though there isn't a lot of seating it was still really easy to get a seat. Same with the parking lot. Even though it isn't that big, there were still enough spaces. This is great for my neuroticism. I hate trying to find parking, waiting in lines, and waiting for a table. We went at 12:30 p.m. on a Tuesday, which should be prime food time, and didn't have any issues. The people manning the counter are super nice. When I ordered the chicken salad sandwich (because so many of you recommended it) he made sure I was aware it has curry and wanted to make sure I liked pumpernickel. Heck yes I want the sandwich the way it is intended to be. It literally took a couple minutes for them to make the sandwich and get it to my table. The sandwich is big! I got just the sandwich and was full until dinner. It has a good heaping of chicken and the sweetness of the plump, golden raisins really completes this sandwich. The pumpernickel is super hearty and is great to hold up the heaviness of the chicken salad. This is my favorite chicken salad sandwich to date. I left here full and happy. That's all I can ask for when visiting a business. read more

Great home cooking spot. Good soups and sandwiches. The garden salad with tuna or curried chicken salad is a fantastic light lunch. Be sure to try their home vinaigrette. They toast the Ruben so it is not greasy and again more like European style. All of this is priced right And very fresh. Service is fast and friendly with to go orders quickly assembled. The Henderson park can be a bit of an adventure but there is Plenty of parking out back, JO read more

I've been here only a couple of times. The last time, I actually went to Wright's, the new and improved giant, hugely renovated Wright's and the line was ridiculous. Now, I'll be patient and wait some days but this line was so ridiculous, I put my apple juice back in the cooler and said to myself - WHY aren't I at that small, quaint, awesome sandwich shop right around the corner?? And that's where I went. HERE! Barrow's! I ordered something a little different. A tuna salad and egg salad on rye. That's right - tuna AND egg, all in one sandwich. No questions asked, they put it together for me and after paying, grabbing my water, I sat down and my sandwich (and side of potato salad) was on the table as I was pulling my chair in. Now HOW about that?? Like I mentioned I have been here before. Both times I was greeted with happy faces. They are very nice and just make you what you want and hand it to you, at your table. With a smile. I like that it's free standing, has a small parking lot, but enough for the amount of room and tables inside. It's convenient, quick and the food is great! Fresh! Prices are very reasonable! Note to self....come back more often! read more

Barrow's Gourmet Deli - Got the Monte Barrow & Lobster Bisque, Idk what I should try next - Delis Near Me - Tampa, Florida

The owners of Barrow's are SANDWICH GODS. I could eat here every day for lunch! All of the items on the menu are made with fresh bread and Boars Head meat and cheeses so you can't go wrong with anything you order. My favorite sandwich on the menu is the Monte Barrow. The sandwich consists of turkey, salami, ham, swiss cheese, dill pickles, spicy brown mustard, and mayo on toasted pumpernickle. On a rare occassion that I don't order the Monte Barrow I may order the California Chicken Salad sandwich. The chicken salad sandwich is HUGE and I usually just order a half sandwich because it is packed with curry chicken salad. If I am watching my diet I order the Chef Salad. If you are looking for an authentic Cuban sandwich I'd advise against ordering Barrow's. Their Cuban is tasty, but it has a German twist on it since the owners are German. Save room for dessert - the brownies are out of this world!!! Barrow's posts the soups of the day on their website every day: http://barrowsgourmet.com read more

Delicious!! Finally found the perfect deli in town. I'm from up north and it's hard to find sandwiches that compare, but barrow's is where it's at. read more

Found this cozy little sandwich shop off Henderson. The food is good. My favorite was the seafood salad. It was seasoned very well. They have homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing that I put on the salad and it was good also. Turkey sandwich was ok. My meal came to over $12 which was a bit pricey for me considering I order a half a sandwich and spinach salad with 2 scoops of seafood Overall atmosphere was cozy and quiet. The people were very friendly provided great customer service. I will most likely visit this place again only to get the seafood salad. read more

This place is never crowded and I don't know why. They are one of the best delis in Tampa. They have a big selection of sandwiches. Staff professional and courteous. The service is fast. Dining room is comfortable. You can usually park right by the door. It's an easy location to drive to. Not much traffic. Sandwiches are fresh healthy tasty. They have soup. read more

Very tasty and generously portioned food. I love places like this. They have friendly staff. Food is served quickly. The place is clean. Parking is ample. I have had the turkey Reuben and the chicken salad sandwich. Both are very good. The lobster bisque is excellent for the price. The amount of potato salad that comes as a side is amazingly generous. I will return. read more

Praise the lord that Barrows has reopened!!! This place is the back bone to all delis in Tampa. You know the food slaps when everyone over in the establishment isn't under the age of 75. Highly recommend the Italian with a side of Mac salad *chefs kiss* read more

Great location and even better sandwiches. All that is well and good, but have you seen the hot red headed dude behind the counter? I mean DAYUM! Handsome doesn't even start to describe it. The flowing locks that he keeps tied up just so he can expertly make you a taste bud tingling sammy is incredible. Do yourself a flavor and stop in whenever you're in the area. I'd take a pic of the sandwich I ordered but I already ate it. read more

Soup and sandwiches are an all time favorite combo, especially for lunch. My first time here at Barrow's was back in 1988, it's still as good as I remember. Imagine a well crafted sandwich with your selection of Boar's Head meats and cheese, fresh breads with delicious deli condiments and some home soup (changes regularly), and a cold pickle spear. Just step up to the counter, order and minutes later you've got a lunch that'll keep you coming back for more. Today I had a braunschweiger and swiss on soft white deli bread and a cup of jerk chicken soup...delicious. Stop by today and enjoy, I recommend it! read more

People frequently come to me in a time of need, sandwich need to be exact, and they ask me- IS Barrow's the best sandwich place in Tampa? And I tell them- yes my child, it is one of them. So, bring your big, fat face into this tiny little establishment and I promise you that they will promptly deliver you a plump Sammy on pumpernickel. read more

This is a small little shop and walking in it's a little dark. The man behind the counter was very nice and welcoming. I ordered the curry chicken salad since everyone on here was recommending it and it was alright, it needed salt and didn't expect the curry flavor to be so strong. It was pretty good but not as amazing as everyone was making it seem to be. I'm giving it 4* because it was super fresh tasting and just generally well made and such a HUGEEE SANDWICH!! I barely finished my half of the sandwich (needed salt though). Must say I will be back to try different sandwiches because you can tell all the ingredients are fresh and made daily. That's special and makes it more delicious. I walked in at 2pm on a Saturday ordered my sandwich and I got it literally within 1 minute. Great fast service and very welcoming. I will be back to try different sandwiches. read more

I have been going to Barrows gourmet deli from time to time throughout all the years I've lived in Tampa. It is my favorite deli locally and the service and food is always excellent.
