Maybe my mistake was ordering a veg sandwich at a deli.... I will have to go back to try one of their meat options to find out! I stopped by Family Delicatessen on a Saturday and ordered the Green Goddess, a vegetarian option with hummus, avocado, apple, and lots of veggies. I will give them credit: they did not skimp on the veggies! However, there was not a whole lot of hummus or avocado so it kind of just tasted like eating veggies on a piece of baguette. A very good piece of baguette, to be fair, but I just wish there had been a little more flavor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The deli itself is very cute with lots of imported Italian foods, like unique pastas and sauces.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was speedy and super friendly. I definitely need to go back to give them another chance! read more

Came here for lunch after an event at the library.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a really cozy take out place, a genuine corner deli.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a full take-out place, so keep that in mind. I had the large meatball sub. This was recommended and it had some heft to it. This was a big, messy, delicious sandwich! No pic of the sandwich since I ate it in my car. It was all prepared fresh and promptly. I was a great value, and I'll be back next time I'm in the area. read more

This deli deserves the hype! We were in the area and just wanted to grab sandwiches quick on the way to the next destination and we are really glad we stopped in. Staff (the owner! And her friend) were both super friendly and obviously very proud of the shop. There was a slight snafu with our order and it was corrected quickly. We even got to try the meatballs, which were excellent. The large sandwiches are huge! Easily shareable. Definitely worth a visit! read more

First time, got small Family Italian. Great sandwich, will be back soon to try some other options. Bread was fresh, the meats, cheese and add ons were fabulous read more

I ordered catering from here for lunch via Relish. Because of this I can't speak to the ambiance of the deli itself. However, I can speak on the food. I ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken, which was great! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the chicken was plain and cold. Additionally, it would have been nice if it came with a side pita. All in all, the salad was great and packed with feta! I'd order this again. read more

After work drive, looking for more than the usual leftovers, and same old places for dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location for me was super easy, very quiet on a Friday night, menu screamed deliciousness[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Boars head products are featured, and I love their products. Getting to know the help and nice and inviting conversation. Sampling a homemade meatball, sold! I was craving the cordon blue sandwich, I got that too. Wife ordered the clock tower sandwich (ingredients included:roast beef, ham, turkey baby Swiss , lettuce and tomato). Have to go back and have a go at their clam chowder! read more

I really like this little deli and it's close to my new work location so I'll be there much more often. The sandwiches are great, I usually order a large and make it into 2 lunches unless I am hangry. The staff there is fun to chat with and the hustle to get your order ready read more

Old school deli with good sandwiches. The outside is non-descript, so you may not notice it. I had the Italian with hot peppers. Decent sandwich on fresh bread. read more

If you are expecting true Jewish deli corned beef like Michael's in Brookline, go back to Michael's. Boars Head isn't true corned beef New York Style. Just like BostonTex Mex isn't real Mexican food you'd find in Southern California. If you don't know flavorful real corned beef with a little fat, you'll probably like it. read more

The owners are very, very friendly. I have not had a bad meal yet. One of my absolute favorites. Is there chicken salad my husband has had several different sandwiches always been impressed!!! I would highly highly recommend this place read more

A hidden gem in the hood. We live around this place and NOW we discover this sub place and its a game changer! Each of their sandwiches come in different types of bread and i love tasting each subs. The pastrami sandwich comes in rye, mayflower sandwich comes in a roll, some come in french baguette and the bread is really a game changer! I love trying out their signature subs (esp the mayflower) but their classic subs are also super delicious. The owners are also the sweetest people and my toddler sons both LOVE visiting this spot! So happy to have discovered this place in the neighborhood read more

Love the family deli the food is always delicious and the service is outstanding !! WAY TO GO FAMILY DELI MAYNARD 100%

Best Italian sandwich in the Boston area! Absolutely incredible and very friendly staff.

Great sandwich. Excellent meatball. The best owner and staff. Highly recommended. We'll be back.

I have never gotten a bad sandwich. The service is great and a very welcoming environment. If you have ever been to tutto italino and ordered an italian sub. It ranks very high and I don't often compare, but the family italian sub is one of the best I have had in some time. read more

Family Deli is on our permanent rotation for takeout in Maynard! Excellent sandwich menu, such friendly service, and PHENOMENAL dishes for catering! SO. GOOD!! read more

Really good deli shop! I'm not usually into cold sandwiches (they do offer hot ones), but I was committed to trying the "Family Italian" after I had seen the sandwich! It was phenomenal and filling. I got a small and the small is really a large and I had to finish the rest later in the day. Service was prompt. I ordered in store. Not pictured here was carrot cake slice (for me) and NY cheesecake slice I picked up as well. So good. I will be returning. read more

I am so glad that I finally visited Family Delicatessen! I am used to going to Waltham for authentic and stacked Italian subs that I neglected to give other places a try- boy am I happy that I explored this delicatessen. Their subs are generously sized and delicious! The family Italian sub was packed with meat, cheese, and hots. Also got the firehouse which was also very, very humongous and delicious. We will definitely be back. The staff working there are super attentive and amazing as well. The deli is also very clean and spacey enough for customers to wait in. Love the decor and ambiance. Most importantly, we love the warm welcome and easy check out process. We will be back for more :) read more

Read reviews on Yelp. Figured I'll give it a shot drove over from Framlngham walked in 2 very helpful gentleman's took my order. Both are very friendly. Ordered 3 whole family Italian subs and a large chicken parmigiana sub. Just a fyi if you order 1 whole sub can feed 4 it's completely loaded and freshness omg the best my family ever had. This is the real deal family Italian sub with prosciutto, arugula Boars head cold cuts no cheap cold cuts. The chicken parmigiana sub is to die for. Not dry 4 cutlets in a large. Desserts to top it off. We will definitely be back. Mike and Mark awesome job fellas Stay safe see you soon. Ready for left overs tomorrow Boars Head,Cannolis,Italian Sub,Tiramisu,Red Velvet,Carrot Cake Mama Mia you won't be disappointed!!!!! Thank you read more

My son and I went here and had a blast with the staff. They are very friendly and welcoming. The high-quality cuts of meat leave you wanting to come back for more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place has a warm, friendly vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Perfect for a quick lunch or a post-workout meal. read more

Awesome family owned and operated business! I had to cater a hiring event on short notice and they were able to fulfill the order in just over an hour. On such short notice this was super caring and facilitating of them. One of the staff there even helped me carry my order to my car. She went above and beyond and was a pleasure to deal with. The ingredients are fresh and local. The flavours in the sand which are pleasant and well catered but not overpowering. All in all this is a shop that is super cute and has well earned the community support. Great sandwiches, and super helpful and pleasant staff. Hope to come again. read more

Best delicatessen around - family business and offers great care in making their deli sandwiches.

A much-needed addition to our take-out restaurant options in town. Haven't had a bad meal yet, and don't expect I ever will! Please support local businesses that are still open and help them stay afloat until this all clears up. read more

Great tasting large sandwiches! Pretty fast turnaround even during lunch rush. The ingredients taste fresh and the meats are cut there.

I always give a new place or new to me place at least two tries before I write a review. Every place has bad days. I tried Family Deli twice and feel it's time for my review. I was excited to hear about the opening of this business and Maynard has no good options for Take out, subs etc. Family Deli does not disappoint! The food is amazing. Big sandwiches, priced right at under $10.00. Great bread, stuffed full of tasty filling. Two different sandwiches and a very large salad to date and very very satisfied. They also sell soups, breads coffee and pastry. There is clearly many years of serving up great food behind those counters. No seating here to take it home or to work. Plentiful street parking and a friendly family working hard to put out great food are a plus. Run don't walk. You will not be disappointed. read more

No cap this place is LEGIT as good as the reviews say. Get the Family Italian and tell me where there's a better one around here. You can't. We don't deserve you, FD. read more

Best sandwiches this side of a NY deli. Warm & friendly staff. Fresh bread, deli meats & more. Love it there.

Heard there was a new deli in Maynard so I had to visit, We don't have any proper delis so I was excited to see one open. First week so some things I can let slide like ordering counter confusion and speed. I think a couple signs like "Order here", "pickup here" may solve the confusion part. Now to the good stuff *Metered parking both sides so that is simple *Staff was super friendly and even offer a sample of the soup they had on. *Boars Head- so they are doing things right *Sandwiches are proper size - I got a large Italian on scali bread *Bread to meat to condiment ratio was spot on I'll be back to try other offerings soon! read more

We love this restaurant! We've been in Maynard long enough to see good restaurants come and go. When they set up shop we were curious to see how they would do, especially considering there's sub shop a couple of blocks away on the same street. We knew that Family was where we would go every time from the first time we ordered from them. Their sandwiches and large, creative and delicious (the Clocktower is my favorite). We are so thrilled to have Family Deli in town! read more

Wow wow wow! All I can say. The Italian with everything. The family Italian is by far best sandwich I have ever had and I have had many many sandwiches in the city of Boston and this sandwich is LIGHTS OUT 10/10 Compared to any sandwich you get in the North End! The meatballs are incredible! If you can finish a large meatball good luck! The Capri is incredible lighter sandwich. What a great spot, friendly staff, something Maynard has needed for a long time for a tired old town! Stop in support local business and enjoy probably one of the best sangggwiches you will ever have! read more

I love Family Deli! Yes, an actual family runs it. Portions are quite large for the price. You won't be disappointed.

A high quality, well run, clean and professional local spot for great sandwiches, drinks, wine, desserts, and salads! I love their chicken parmesan, chicken cordon bleu panini and their family Italian sandwich. Everything here is fresh and DELICIOUS! The prices are fair and the service is always great. If you're looking for a delicious salad or soup, THIS IS THE SPOT! A must try lunch spot if you're in the area. read more

Italian sandwich is the best...Amazing sandwiches. Friendly staff I couldn't recommend this place more!! Love it!!

Great local shop. Fresh food and excellent service. The totaling subs are both incredible and I highly recommend them.
