The sandwiches here are SO good! Good quality ingredients and the perfect amount of toasting on the bread (doesn't tear up the roof of your mouth). The staff is super friendly and kind. Will definitely be going back. Pro tip: take your sandwich to go & enjoy at the Lynn Street Mini Park. Lots of seating & trash cans available. We enjoyed meeting new people/dogs and watching people launch their paddle boards while we enjoyed our sammies! read more

Otherside Market & Deli - Chicken rider - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love Italian subs. The Otherside Deli has received rave reviews for their sandwiches so I've wanted to try theirs for a long time. Unfortunately all the construction on Eastlake has deterred me from going there. However Yesterday I was in the area so decided to fight through it. I drove past the place without seeing it but my gps told me that I had arrived, so I found a spot to park nearby and sure enough there it was. A steady stream of customers came while I was there. I ordered an Italian hero and sat at a table outside. It didn't take long. The sandwich was good. Just not the absolute best that I ever ate. All the ingredients were top notch. Excellent bread, perhaps a baguette. My complaint is that the bread to meat ratio was a bit off. It's not that there was too little meat. Just that the bread was more substantial than necessary. I did enjoy the sandwich but I probably won't be going back again. Should not stop you from going though. read more

This is my favorite lunch spot in East Lake. The deli in the market feature a great sandwich menu of hot and cold sandwiches. The sandwiches are well made with quality ingredients and probably have the best bread of any local sandwich spot. The market has a great wine selection. The couple that own and operate the market are super nice. read more

Wow, what a hidden gem that sells amazing sandwiches! This might be the best restaurant in Eastlake! The sandwich itself was very flavorful, juicy, tasty, delicious! I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend and I would come back read more

Stopped in after my accupuncture visit around the corner. It was highly recommended and I don't regret it! The deli menu had a lot to choose from. I went with the bull rider. (Roast beef with au jus) the bread was toasted and crisp with the perfect amount of meat and cheese. The service/food came out fairly quick granted that they are made fresh. The couple who owns the deli were very nice. The market itself is well kept, stocked, and clean. Highly recommend! read more

Otherside Deli is the best thing to happen to Eastlake in the last 5 years, maybe even longer. In a neighborhood that is filled with mediocre delis, Otherside shines like the beautiful star it is. This is the closest thing you will find to a NY style sandwich place in the area. I'll be here multiple times a week now, and you should too. Here's why... No idea where their sub rolls come from, but they're ideal for sandwiches. My guy Won does NOT skimp on sauces (which I'm pretty sure he makes there), and thus a bread that can withstand a proper onslaught of condiments is critical for sandwich integrity. This loaf is up to snuff. I've tried 5 or so sandwiches here already, and the ratios are right where they need to be. You can tell that the sandwich artists here are properly calibrated when they're on shift. Creating a dream sandwich is a delicate dance of art and math that can only be mastered after you've eaten 10,000 sandwiches yourself (Gladwell, et al.) You're going to get a solid bite that includes every ingredient, every time. The hot subs are toasted in a way that makes the bread crispy, but doesn't leave you with soggy ingredients. I urge you to follow down this path - you can tell that a lot of thoughtfulness went into the curation of this section of the menu. Putting coleslaw on a sandwich can a career ending mistake if your slaw is trash. However, Won's is top notch. They will recommend the Bill Rider to you, but go for The Ave. It's a special type of sandwich that I've never had before. Something about that tangy barbecue sauce mixed with the slaw puts it over the top. And that crispy bacon... you can tell that they really appreciate bacon here. It's on at least half of the sandwiches on the menu. Otherside must be protected at all costs while there is construction around the entirety of Lake Union. Go get a sandwich!! read more

This has to be one of the best deli sandwich lunch spots in Seattle. Having heard a lot about this place, I had to go check it out and it delivered. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there were a few folks waiting on their sandwiches but there was no line to order. On ordering we were told there would be about a 30 min wait but they did also mention it would be worth it. We got the chicken rider and the chicken ole. The sandwiches itself came out steaming hot. The rider also came with an Au Jus on the side for dipping. The sandwiches itself were pretty filling and had amazing flavors. The Au Jus was also very good and complemented the sandwiches well. It was definitely worth the price and wait. The place itself is a nice corner market and has everything you might need. They have seating outside to eat the sandwiches while you get some sun. I want to try their breakfast bagel sandwich next as well as their other sandwiches. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

After testing them all, THIS is my favorite sandwich shop in Seattle currently. While it may not be the easiest place to get to or park at (I recommend the free parking lot in front of "Son of a Butcher" or the paid one right above it on E Lynn St + Eastlake Ave E) it's worth finding your way here to try the amazing menu of sandwiches offered here as well as the curated grocer goods at this corner market. They use boar's head deli ingredients and whip them into masterful creations like the MUST TRY bull rider sandwich which is a french dip with caramelized onions, mama's lil peppers, garlic aioli and au jus to dip in. Muuuust try. But they have a wide assortment of hot and cold sandwiches that are great, though I think the hot sandwiches really stand out and particularly the bull rider. The corner store itself has a nice selection, like the Vybes Magnesium-infused low-calorie drinks you can't find many spots because they're from CA. Lots of little fun things to get while you wait for your sandwich. Owners are sweethearts too. Just remember the line can get long during rush hours so I recommend off hours, it's a very small spot with no indoor seating just 3 outdoor tables. read more

I love a sausage egg and cheese bagel sandwich and was so excited to see that they have them! They use backyard bagels too which is def a plus. The bagel sandwich was so hearty - the egg was fluffy, bagel was soft, and the sausage was yummy. You get a choice of swiss or cheddar, bacon sausage or ham, and everything or plain bagel. The shop itself was great! They pack it in there but they have all of the staples you'd need and more. Lots of wine and specialty drinks and items as well! Wish this was in our neighborhood so we could come by all the time. The owners are so sweet too! read more

Delicious sandwiches, friendly customer service and large selection of snacks and grocery goods! Highly recommend.

These are the absolute best sandwiches in Seattle. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. The hot sandwiches are especially elite. Highly recommend getting the Ave (our OG favorite) and the Bullrider (this was INCREDIBLE!!! a new favorite). The bread is always crispy on the outside even with all that glorious juiciness inside. Flavors are unbeatable. Pictures don't do these sandwiches justice. A must try!!! read more

I seriously underestimated this place. Living in Eastlake, I thought it was just another market--but I was completely wrong. I finally tried their sandwiches and got the Chicken Ola... and wow. It genuinely changed my life. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, warm, and homemade. You can tell there's real care put into the food. They've got a wide variety of both hot and cold sandwiches, plus great drinks, chips, and snacks to pair with your meal. It's the perfect combo of a neighborhood market and a top-tier deli. This spot is so worth trying. Don't sleep on it like I did. read more

Five stars feels inadequate for what happened to me at Other Side Market. I'm pushing 40 years old, I've traveled the world eating sandwiches, and I just ate the best sandwich of my life. After devouring my bull rider sandwich I contemplated walking back and immediately getting another one. Honestly, I debated not writing this because I don't want the line getting longer. But greatness must be recognized. read more

Their Brooklyn Rueben is FANTASTIC. A little deviation from the classic formulation in that they use pickled red cabbage instead of sauerkraut, but it works! Lean corn beef from Boar's Head. It's also a grocery so no indoor seating but several sidewalk tables read more

The owners are the sweetest people in the world and I'm thrilled they're back in the sandwich game. You should try the tuna melt, the ave, and the breakfast sandwich. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, and unparalleled ambiance. Their website is literally just their menu, and that's all you really need. You call their number, the owner asks what you want, tells you how long it'll be, then hangs up. When you go inside, you see that the deli is actually a bodega where you can buy a snack and drink to wash down the best sandwich you'll ever have. Truly unrivaled, nobody else in the sandwich game does it better. read more

I loooove this spot, great prices, super friendly and everything is always fresh + amazing! Get the turkey BLAT or the chicken pesto ‍‍‍ read more
