Friendly, helpful staff, time tested recipes, and great prices! Had a beautiful, huge turkey, ham and swiss sub w everything on it, plus large chips and a drink, under $20. Pretty good for 2025. First visit, I will return very soon! read more

Salem Food Market - Huge and incredible turkey and ham and Swiss sub loaded for under $15 - Delis Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

It was fine but nothing more. The eggplant could have been crispier, the tomato sauce was in short supply and nothing special, bread was all right, man making the sandwich was nice. I expected more from the excellent reviews. And I know it's mostly takeout and delivery, but the space itself is just grim and unappealing. Glad I tried it but no need to go out of my way. read more

Salem Food Market - Small eggplant sub - Delis Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

The best Greek chicken wrap I have found in Dedham and surrounding towns. Drive from Needham to get one. Cold cut sandwiches are great. Cold cuts sliced thin just like the North End. Highly recommend Salem ! read more

Stopped in for steak onion cheeses Real bad... steak looked dry overcooked and grill taste like good on a dirty grill with no moisture. I won't be back .. 18 bucks with can of coke... Jersey Mike's next tow this place much better quality and price.... I blame myself for darkening the worn out tile floor here... Later evening update: been burping up this nasty taste all day ... Beware and eat here at your own risk. read more

Salem Food Market - Gross over cooked burnt... feel sick after eating it - Delis Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Meatball are the best italian sub is good too must. Put it all on including hot pepper

This place is fantastic. Up and down the menu, the food is great. My favorite is probably the grilled chicken Greek wrap. Freddie, the owner, is a great guy. If you have to drive around the block once or twice to find a parking space, it is well worth the time spent. read more

This place is fabulous! We love their turkey and meatball subs! My husband and I were planning a Flag Day party for today and had placed a catering order for subs a few days ago. We ended up not needing the catering order because the parade was cancelled due to storms but since the parade didn't get cancelled until the morning of we didn't bother calling and cancelling the catering order (holding out hope). Nonetheless when we went to pick it up the owner gave us 1/2 off the price for our troubles which was not expected and I really appreciated! They have the best, most fresh sub rolls around and the staff is always friendly. We enjoyed the subs and gave them out to friends and family. Thank you! read more

The every day food menu is amazing and the catering is even better! I ordered sandwiches, meatballs, chicken, Parm, chicken, broccoli, ziti... Everything was delivered on time and hot and all of my guests loved it! Would recommend for any function big or small. Call Freddie he will take care of you even on short notice, they are the best! read more

Salem Food Market is more expensive than their 5 or 6 competitors in Dedham for their sandwiches, subs. wraps, panini, burgers, pasta and dinners. Probably worth the extra money. The older gentleman who answers the phone is rude beyond belief. Salem used to have a $15 minimum for delivery then supposedly changed it to $10. Truth be told, that's baloney as they refused $15 to $20 orders. I tried to meet or exceed the minimum despite my elderly mother who lives in Dedham not eating much. This man sounded like the owner. He's a crook whose prices are substantially higher than their website prices. Substantially. I asked how much it was for a few items and was quoted $25 for a $15 order, etc etc. I really tried to order from this rude guy. When I told him I had to check with my 94 year old mother who lives in Dedham, the rude jerk said he would have to check with his father about my order. All I was trying to do was place an order for delivery above his minimum. Clearly Salem Food Market's minimum for delivery is false. They only want larger orders. Then why doesn't he have a $25 or $30 minimum? Why ridicule paying customers? The smart aleck didn't realize my mother lives in a huge senior citizen complex in Dedham with maybe 1000 residents. What goes around comes around. read more

Food is great! I love the Caesar Salad and chicken wrap, very tasty !! The owner is a good guy who works very hard to make deli run well!!

Ordered delivery and it was soul food! Steak sub, with peppers and bacon, was spot on and exactly what I was looking for. The onion rings were bang on as well - light on grease but crispy and delicious. Would definitely recommend! read more

Great sandwiches, poor service in May 2019. There was a line to order food. It was my turn to order a woman (30s-ish) looks at me like I just cut in line. The people around me said said "nope" indicating it was my turn to order. I feel stupid. She looks at me like "WTF do you want". I order a turkey sub and am am specific about what I want on it. She doesn't break eye contact with her WTF look in her eyes. She writes nothing down. I say "did you get that?" Now she really gives me the stink eye and says "yes". Five minutes later my order is up. She rings me up at the register and I decide to turn the tables and check to see if the sub has everything I asked for. She looks like she wants to kill me now. Sure enough... no tomatoes and no mayo. I say in a vindicated voice.. "No tomatoes. I asked for tomatoes." She swipes it from me and the nice dude making the sandwich puts them on. I ask about mayo.. He said "I didn't put any on. I only put on what the slip tells me to." I look at the woman who looks like she wants to kick me in the teeth. I say "I asked for tomatoes and mayo. When I ordered I was concerned you weren't listening." She snarls back fast "You were confused and undecided about what you wanted to order." I say "Nope. I was 100 percent sure." She rings me up. An older guy who made the sandwich says loudly... "Ring 'em up. Keep it moving." No apology? No, customer is always right. Just bad vibes. They make AWESOME sandwiches. This ONE time the service was horrendous. I'll boycott these guys for a couple months. I may try them in August again when the angry woman isn't working. read more

When I first moved to Dedham, I went on a hunt for the perfect sub shop. You know the one. The place that reminds you of that little family joint that your father took you to that had the ultimate Italian sub. Well, I found it. Actually, I found it a few years ago, I just hadn't shared it with anyone yet. Yup. This is the place! Great Italian Sub. And, although that is my go to, I have tried several others. Never disappointed. My boys love their meatball subs. The steam table always has some interesting pastas going, too. Highly recommend it. read more

Place is great food is always fresh,the help is pleasent and the place is very clean. read more

Salem Food Market - Good Stuff, grilled steak tips and grilled chicken on a fresh salad,Salem St. In Dedham SQ. - Delis Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Amazing food catered for our Christmas dinner! Was ready for pickup on time, affordable, huge portions, and delicious! Easy to reheat for any party. The tomato sauce is so good, eggplant breaded and cooked to perfection and the Chicken Marsala was so flavorful! You can't go wrong with catering from Salem Food Market. read more

I have been looking for a good sub market that actually listens to the wants in a sandwich from customers. We have ordered turkey sandwiches and we ask for extra turkey and we do get the extra we requested and it is delicious. Have gone to 4 in the area with disappointment on each and now we found the right one. If you are the type that cares for a great sandwich and not just two slices of meat and just bread, this is your place. I wish I could have known about this a long long time ago. I highly recommended. read more

Excellent! High quality fresh ingredients make for a great sandwich shop and more. We were in for an early supper and went with veal & eggplant sandwiches and an order of fries. Real veal, not patties, and lightly breaded eggplant. Nice sauce, real Italian, not too sweet. The real bakery sub rolls made this my new reason to forget D'Angelos. The fries are just wonderful. The oil had to be very clean, and they are normal French fry size. A small order will feed three normal folks. The owner and staff were very nice making the limited street parking the only drawback. We found a spot right away and right across the street. We will be back. Often. Daily lunch specials are rumored to go quickly. read more

Folks here are really nice. From the cashier to the cooks. The manager is also a good guy. Their food is fabulous. Can't get enough of the meatball sub, toasted, with American cheese. Their small is a very good size and enough for a hearty lunch. read more

My job requires traveling around New England, so I've had lunch at a lot of different places in MA, RI, NH, etc. I've also tried every place around Dedham center. With that in mind, I'll say two things: (1) I look forward to coming back to Dedham; and (2) when I'm in Dedham, I always have lunch at Salem Food Market. Every time, without exception. Warm, friendly people. Delicious, freshly prepared food. Great selection. Highly recommended! read more

Great tasting, clean food. The only issue is picking which dish you get to enjoy! Excellent service, I gladly go out of my way to get here as often as I can! read more

Long story short: -Sub-par food -Rude owners/cooks that mistreat their employees -cute place that I want to like but now never can I watched the very polite girl working the register (Brittany?) write down my order perfectly and pass it to the kitchen (a few minutes after hearing them yell at her for giving them a comment and not writing it down on a slip). Some ridiculously long amount of time for a sandwich and a small order of fries later, a cold sandwich is brought out with, like, a tiny cube of cheese added to it, no fries and none of the spicy sauce i asked for and watched the girl write down. While waiting and eating my cold sandwich, I also got to hear the owners continue to berate the girl whenever they got a chance while also chit-chatting with people they knew inside the restaurant. I was very disappointed, especially since it was some $8-$9 per sub. Shout out to Brittany (probably) for being great at her job despite being treated like crap. read more

Had a last minute funeral and Fred saved us with catering. Ordered chicken, broccoli and pasta, pasta with sausage, macaroni salad, fingers sandwiches and salad. I received compliments as if I cooked and that's always a plus. Helped us out with a sad occasion and was super kind the whole time. The food was very good especially the sausage and pasta. I did not even get to try the sandwiches- they were gone. Thanks again for the awesome food and service. read more

I work in Dedham, and my colleagues and I order takeout from Salem Food Market each and every Friday. For years we have been trying to find a lunch menu that would suit all of our needs. With Salem, we hit the jackpot. Our sandwiches are fresh and delicious every week. The coldcuts are top quality. Our orders almost always arrive on time, and if Salem is very busy, they inform us on the phone so we know our food might take longer than usual. Because I am so impressed with Salem, I stop in to buy dinner on nights I am too busy to cook. One night, I bought spaghetti carbonara on impulse. I am not a spaghetti lover, but it looked tasty. This turned out to be one of the best meals I have had in my life. It was absolutely delicious. My husband and I even commented that we had never had a meal in an expensive restaurant that came close to this dinner. If you are looking for quality food, wonderful service, and reasonable prices, Salem Food Market is for you. read more

Salem Food Market is by far the best take out place in the area. Not only is their food amazing and priced well, but it has a larger variety compared to the other take out options in Dedham. Only downside is that they're not open on Sundays - which just means you have to get your fix Mon-Sat as much as you can! Very polite ownership and staff and they are also a great option for event catering. Check it out for yourself and you won't be disappointed. read more

Great food, great value, great people. Dine in, take out, and catering especially are excellent. And James Richter is a douchebag for his review...clearly he has an agenda. Huge community involvement by the owner Fred to0. Highly recommend, definitely for any catering needs...baptisms, communions, graduations etc. read more

Got catering for a funeral brunch and was really really happy with Salem Foods. The food was there on time, hot and delicious. Great customer service great food. read more

I work very close to Salem so I go over a lot for lunch. Usually I get sandwiches or paninis which are always great but today I picked up some eggplant parm with bow ties and it was hands down the best eggplant I have ever had. You get a large take out container full, so full I've been able to eat it over a couple days. I already knew Fred's good was good but this definitely took the cake for me today for my favorite. I definitely recommend Salem Food Market, there isn't a bad thing on the menu! read more

I hired Fred, the owner, to cater a recent cookout for my girlfriends graduation and couldn't be happier with how things turned out. Somehow I originally told him the party was on Saturday when it was actually on the Sunday. I called few days in advance, and even though they aren't open on Sunday's, he made it happen. Aside from the food being incredible and very reasonably priced, Fred is the type of business owner that "gets it," and always puts his customers first. As a fellow business owner myself, it is refreshing to deal with someone who takes such pride in their work. I highly recommend Salem to anyone who doesn't want to worry about preparing the food for their gathering. Call Fred and enjoy your party, he'll do you right. read more

You may ask, and rightly so, "What is there left to be said about Salem Food Market that hasn't already been said by food critics much finer than I??" Well, let me start off with a disclosure: the owner/manager/CEO Fred has been a close friend of mine for over 20 years (my God). I know the guy to be among the hardest working, most loyal, and trustworthy people I have ever been around. There is no question as to who I support in the ongoing blood feud between Salem Food Market and the evil Deli After Dark. That being said, I wouldn't besmirch the esteemed reputation of my Yelp page with a good review if I did not fully endorse the food here. My lunch time at work is tight and Salem Food Market keeps me (and often co-workers) nourished once or twice a week with timely lunch time deliveries. My favorites: chicken Caesar salad, chicken tip sub with veggies, BBQ steak tip sub. But be sure to ask about and sample the rotating pasta entrees that are made fresh daily like chicken cacciatore, chicken ziti broccoli, and several others which are always tasty and filling. Let us not forget the time I was able to feed the entire Mullin clan (six-footers, all of them) with the help of Fred's catered order of a tray of eggplant parm. The abundant extra sauce he threw in was also crucial in adding to the pasta I bought from him and made to go alongside. That eggplant parm was basically a PED for the Mullins and I as we all successfully completed a triathalon the next day. A trusted source also informed me the other night that he and his domestic partner loved the new buffalo wings, so I will have to check those out soon. read more

Let me be as clear as possible- no BS, great staff, great presentation and the best food around. I've used Freddie and his crew numerous times- NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! read more

Excellent food and excellent prices. They have daily specials that are so good. It's hard to decide what to pick! Everyone working is always so nice. It's refreshing going into a place that has great customer service. I just wished I lived closer! read more

As part of a delivered group meal, I had the salad and ziti with meat balls. The salad, while nice and fresh was dressed with a zero tasting dressing. The sauce that was on the ziti could have come out of a can... very nothing. The meatballs were non descript as well. The bread was good. read more

Not only is the food amazing here the owner Fred also went out of his way to donate sheets of pizza for a Benefit we had for a Veteran that was killed in action. If I could give this place more stars I would. read more

Fred, the owner of SFM graciously catered the HERA Women's Cancer Foundation Boston Climb4Life 2015 event. He was on time, a total pro and the food was TO DIE! We had about 70 hungry climbers and volunteers that could not say enough good things about the food!!! And those meatballs!!! Yum! Highly recommend!! read more

Salem food market is always a great meal! Their antipasto salad is to die for! Everything is always fresh and mouth watering. I have had them cater many benefits and parties I have had and they are nothing but accommodating! The prices and quality of food can not be beat!! read more

I have been going to Salem food for lunch for years and its always top notch. Everything is prepared fresh and cooked to order by Freddie and his staff. I wish yelp had to a six star option. I recently had a death in my family and had to have food set up at the Hall after the funeral. To say that Freddie went above and beyond is an understatement. The funeral was held on Saint Patricks Day which for a restaurant is a busy day. Freddie made sure everything was set up and ready for when the guests started to arrive. No worries about anything on my end. A+ read more

Best food around... such a great local shop in Dedham
