I took my stepson here after we did Escape Room Sarasota. The daily special that day was a ham & cheese. I had the daily special, he had the Cuban & we shared a drink & chips. Everything was really good. It had been a while since I had been here, I had forgotten how good their food was! I will have to remember it the next time I am in that neck of the woods! read more

Very delicious and fresh with fast service. I had the greek pita, it was very good and they did not skimp on the feta cheese at all. My fiance had the golden turkey sandwhich which was also very good. Definitely a good spot for a quick lunch. read more

You do not live in NJ, NY, CT area without a regular visit to the local deli and now Sarasota has a deli worthy of the name. While there are daily specials and a good selection of sandwiches--Cuban, El Paso, Sicilian--my favorites are The New Yorker (hot pastrami and corned beef on rye) and The Dagwood. The people who run this place are very nice and after a few stops you will be acknowledged as a regular. Also available are large salads and fresh soup. Call ahead for pick up. Try once and you will be back. read more

Tasty food but even better atmosphere. I just moved here from Texas and not only were the staff extremely kind but the patrons were so nice. Food was delightful and customer service was an A+ read more

Went here for the first time Saturday, had the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had! We'll definitely be back.

Corkscrew deli is a gem operating out of the landings strip mall. This place has been consistent for years. Fresh ingredients make all there sandwiches delectable and worth a try. While you're at the counter make sure to get a punch card for a future customer reward. read more

I left Sarasota for college, but every time I come back I make sure I go to Corkscrew. The service is quick, staff are friendly, and the Paisano is to die for! read more

Still a mixed bag four years later. Salad bowl was tasty, with plenty of feta. Italian sub was on soft roll and meh.

The Caribbean sandwich was awesome. Sandwich comes with a pickle. Chips are extra. It has nice little outside area too. Definitely would go back. read more

I really like this deli. It is usually very busy so I try to go in mid afternoon. The sandwich selection and prices are reasonable the amount of food. It is small inside but timing it right you will have no trouble getting a seat. It is not open on Sunday. There is outdoor seating and it does a big take out business. I would definitely give it a try if you are looking for casual dining and good deli food. I have been here numerous times and have not been disappointed. read more

One of the best delis in Sarasota. It's also very convenient for my lunch breaks so I am there a few times a week. I order a Reuben everywhere I go and they may be my favorite so far. read more

Sometimes it's the simple and fresh ingredients that bring about the best flavors. If you're craving for traditional sandwiches, you can't go wrong with anything on this menu. Everything we ordered was super fresh and delightfully tasteful. The place is also very simple but nice seating outside on both entrances. Great place to pick up sandwiches and then head to beach for a picnic or just about anywhere. Service was fast too and people are super nice. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch with my two young children. This is a small little deli, not unnecessarily fancy like some others I've been to, just a warm, comfortable atmosphere with delicious sandwiches. LOVE that they have kids sandwiches and that they're priced so well. The staff that we met that day were very nice and friendly. Will definitely be back when visiting Sarasota. read more

We decided to go for the Saturday special and get the Cuban sandwich. I am glad we both got one because it was too good to share. Highly recommend but be ready to wait in line because it is a very popular place. read more

It doesn't get any better than this! Fresh food & good value. My favorite salad is the albacore tuna!!

We love coming here for their daily specials. Quality, consistency and friendly staff always.

One of our favorites for ordering in lunches for the office. Every time I call they are so careful to understand my order, repeat it back to me and it's perfect each delivery we have had! Thank you for helping feed our hungry gang! read more

Always a great lunch! Fairly inexpensive and good food. A great place to meet up for lunch! They have good daily specials too.

One of my all time favorite delis in town. We love very far away (Lakewood ranch) but whenever I'm in he area I make sure I stop in to grab my usual sandwich. They are very fast and friendly. read more

I stop in every Saturday for the Cuban special, it's delicious! I always place an order for pick up and it's always ready within 10 minuets. The staff is usually very friendly with the exception of the male cashier, who sometimes doesn't smile or come off friendly. Also while waiting in line sometimes he cashes others out before me, that come up to the side counter instead of the front register, which left me really confused??? Over all great place to grab lunch. read more

Great place! Great people! Food is awesome! Corkscrew Club is the best club anywhere! When you're looking for a simple well made fresh sandwich, this is the place! And tell me that dude behind the counter doesn't look like Frank Zappa!!!! read more

Last here in 2014. Good to be back and for good. Finally, a Cuban sandwich. Yummy. Now if I can break away, would like to try some of the others including the paisano, reuben, corned beef. Fast and friendly service. Love this place. read more

I'm down here for a winter retreat and wanted a good deli sandwich. I saw this place on Yelp! And decided to try it. The reviews were accurate. They're located in a strip mall behind Sweet Tomatoes. The place was packed for lunch with a waiting line out the door, but the service was quick. Since its a tiny place with limited seating I got my Reuben to go. I thought that the sandwich was a little expensive, $7.29 for the size sandwich that I got, but it was delicious! The corned beef was lean and flavorful, the rye bread was hearty and the sauerkraut was mild. I'll be going back again for something else (or maybe just another Reuben) while I'm down here. read more

This place is the bomb! I had a corn beef sandwich. The corned beef was the best I ever had. Its,reasonably priced also. In a plaza.

They have a great variety of sandwiches which are all delicious and they have a special every day which is a great deal. Corkscrew it up people read more

The best Cuban sandwich in Sarasota! This place is always busy so you KNOW it's gotta be good! Great location but small shop so do yourself a favor and call ahead to order but it's worth waiting in line if you forget to call in ;) The owner is a very nice man. Love Corkscrew! read more

Their sandwiches are the best around and service is something other restaurants should consider learning. They remember your name, they remember what you like and what you don't like. Tomatoes are always perfectly ripe, food perfectly prepared fresh right in front of you and with acknowledging that they appreciate your business they give you a free sandwhich on your 10th visit. Their Cubans are the best around. read more

I used to eat here every day when working nearby. Staff was always great and the food always good. Went back again recently and it is still the way I remember it (although remodeled a little bit). Would recommend. read more

Get good food at a good price. The sandwiches are not thick like they show but are very fresh, high quality and they enough to make a great beach lunch! read more

First time I tried this place, I know i will keep going back. Had a Reuben which was packed overfull of corned beef, nice mild kraut, Swiss cheese and the necessary thousand island dressing, all of it warm and melty. I would recommend calling ahead for takeout, they were super busy when i went at lunchtime, but everything went pretty fast. Its a tiny place at the south end of the mostly vacant strip mall, with tables inside and out. Counter service only. Reasonable prices. Left off the 5th star because the only accompaniment I saw were bags of chips (extra, of course); french fries would be nice, or a few free chips. read more

Corkscrew is by far my favorite deli in Sarasota and the El Paso is at the top of my list anywhere in the US.

A really small and busy Deli - closer to what you would expect from a traditional NYC deli. Very clean location - I gave an extra star for that alone. My favorite is the Paisano - but all their specialty sandwiches are delicious. Try one and you will never eat at Subway again - not that you should have in the first place! read more

Very pedestrian. Meats are so so. Afternoon bread...... Meaning it was left out and dry.

Could be the best sandwich joint in Sarasota. You have to have the little Italy, it will blow your mind. Great prices and friendly staff.

This is one of the best delis I have EVER been to. Every time you go in you can see the same four people diligently working on various outstanding signature sandwiches. The El Paso may be my favorite sandwich out there and the Paisano is also superb. This should serve as a shining example of how to run a great delicatessen. read more

The service was quick, and the sandwich was delicious. I will definitely return. Marge. 2/16

The food is wonderful and the employees are the best. It is like "cheers" where everybody knows your name. They all go above and beyond the call of duty to insure you have a great lunch in a great atmosphere......You are going to love this place. read more
