Best deli hands down. Service is always amazing, staff is top notch. Like the staff, the deli itself is warm and welcoming. I must stop every trip to St John. Menu has plenty of options (vegetarian as well) but not overwhelming. What better way for a bite at the beach. read more

Best sandwiches and salads on St John! Highly recommend the Hammie Sammie , loaded with really good ham on a epic soft onion roll A must when on STJ read more

Great menu selections and cute interior. Ordered sandwiches and they were out within 10-15 minutes. Decently stuffed with meat and toppings, and seemed fresh. Would return again. read more

Consistently fantastic! This is our second trip to St John and the establishment, owner and employees never disappoint. Grateful for fresh ingredients and a menu that offers a number of options for my little one who has a dairy and egg allergy without compromising taste and execution. Breakfast lunch or catering, to go mimosas and more! Menu is substantial and pricing is reasonable. We even ordered a small charcuterie board for our boat day and it didn't disappoint! If you're on the area stop by its upstairs from the supermarket and offers a few seats inside along with some dining outside if it's not too hot. Enjoy this treasure of a spot! read more

Wow, not sure what happened to this great sandwich place? The $17 turkey and cheese sandwich we got yesterday was practically inedible. The sourdough bread was dry and stale and we ended up throwing it out and eating the measly portion of turkey and the orange, tasteless square of cheddar cheese (looked like one of those pre-sliced packaged slices of cheese). One star for their homemade potato chips, still great. So sad as S&J's was always a stop I looked forward to. read more

We go here every time I visit St. John and it never disappoints just got back. Wanted to post a review and say this place is as good as always this is a must if you're visiting St. John, the locals already know. read more

All the sandwiches we tried were delicious. We need to go back and try them all! Service was very kind. Great place to pick up food and head to the beach. read more

We've been fortunate to vacation in St. John several times and Sam and Jacks is always on our menu! It may be a challenge to get excited about a sandwich, but S&J has some unique flavor combinations. Grab a cold Sammy on the way to the beach, or pick up a hot Sammy on your way home. You won't be disappointed! read more

We went back multiple times and tried a variety of their sandwiches, all delicious. The house made potato chips should not be skipped. If you like root beer you must try it, it's almost a religious experience. Get a pack of cookies for later, they are worth the calories! Friendly staff and ate in (nice setting) and took home so either way is highly recommended. read more

BEST and most affordable sandwiches on the island!!!! Really great, flavorful, HUGE portions, homemade chips, and they even have a bar inside. We bought sandwiches and then headed to the beach to eat them. The chicken parmesean "rosetti" was REALLY good! Met several locals getting sandwiches here as well. And there is an amazing authentic italian gelato spot in the same shopping complex. Starfish market is also the best and most affordable market on this side of the island. Much cheaper than Dolphin. read more

OMG so delicious. I had an eggplant sandwich in February which was a special but about to be placed on the regular menu. I don't know the name they are going to use but we called it The Burn Out because Bernie the realtor would always order it. This place is always delicious and has vegetarian options. read more

If you are on St John and not stopping at Sam & Jacks you're missing out. Fantastic sandwiches, snacks, and more. It's a great place to grab a breakfast sandwich or lunch on your way to the North Shore beaches or on the back for supplies for a casual dinner back at your villa. They always have great specials that don't disappoint. read more

This was in the same building where we were staying on the third floor. They offer prepared foods, sides, and salads and you can cater from here as well. These things are perfect to take with you to the beach, as long as you have a cooler to keep them that way. They do have Ire Pops popsicles and coffee, but only regular drip coffee. They have a few tables inside where you can sit and close by mid-afternoon. The staff is super friendly and patient as I deliberated on what to order. I ended up getting the Jackson sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was a generous portion of meat and the bread was the perfect crunchiness! The roasted red peppers added a nice touch to the sandwich and it kept well as I was not able to finish in one sitting, but had some the next day. read more

Owner was so nice and there is a special meaning behind the name of this place. The sammich was to die for. So filling and a flavor explosion. Good to take on the beach or enjoy on the porch outside. read more

Awesome lunch option. Walking distance from St John Inn. Grab nGo quick dips, homemade chips! All the sandwiches, lots of meats and tasty / innovative vegetarian and vegan options! Also they have lasagna that you can take n bake or eat in. Very friendly employees read more

Stopped in and picked up a sandwich for lunch, plus two salads (broccoli and chick pea) and a square of lasagna to bake for the next day. All were flavorful and delicious. Be aware they close early - like 4 pm- so go early! Location is on the third floor of the Marketplace. I only wish we had discovered this place sooner!! read more

Before hitting the beach, and hearing good things about Sam & Jack's Deli, we placed a sandwich order for pickup. Our ordered was placed at 11:00am, for three sandwiches, which were quoted to be ready in 15 minutes. Upon arriving I noticed the store is pickup only, with half of the store marked off, so no refrigerator items are available, obviously due to Covid-19. We ordered the Sammy Hammy, Uncle Peep, and a make your own Turkey Wrap with Swiss Cheese, Bacon and Mayo. All three of us were disappointed with our sandwiches. My Turkey wrap came with no Mayo and the Turkey was extremely dry, so, no Mayo made it even worse. Only bonus, the bacon was crispy, just the way I like it. The Uncle Peep may have gotten my Mayo, ha ha, because it was so overwhelming it made the bread moist and was almost inedible. The most enjoyed sandwich was the Sammy Hammy, which came with a great amount of meats. The final kicker for me was the total for three sandwiches was $40. Isn't that a lot? To me it was, and for not being impressed spending that much money breaks my heart. Maybe it was an off day, so if you like unique sandwiches at a little higher price, check them out. Hopefully I can give them another try and update this review. read more

Ordered the Angelina and the S&J Burrito; both items were delicious. The tofu in the Angelina was done right, marinated and cooked to perfection. The entirety of the S&J had a mixture of complimenting flavors. The interior is large with ample seating. The AC and supplementing fans provided good air circulation. The lady who took our order and served us was friendly with great suggestions concerning the meal. There are used books for sale on the way in for a beach read and hats that support a local charity without proceeds leaving the island. Definitely stop in here on the way out. Parking lot is large read more

Great sandwiches to grab and go to the beach! Make sure to check out their other house-made goodies. I rarely leave without some!

Amazingly good sandwiches, particularly the Uncle Peep. But, honestly, I've never had a sandwich here I didn't absolutely love. Just one complaint....I can't eat one by myself, which works out great when I have my husband or friend with me but when I'm alone on island, I need half a sandwich! The food is always brought out with a smile :) read more

Large portions, great breakfast sandwiches. Got to place in St John for awesome sandwiches

Hands down the best food we had so far! The Jackson, dill potato salad, chips, and pickle really hit the spot! The bread is amazing. They are so friendly too! I watched their posts on social media for over a year and couldn't wait to try on this trip, they did not disappoint!!! Bonus, they are right above the best market in STJ. read more

Great sandwiches. Turkey, ham and breakfast sandwiches were all excellent. Excellent quality of meat.

We ate here several times during a recent trip to STJ. They have A/C and a generator when WAPA goes out. Cheerful staff, great variety of foods, daily specials and drinks! Stuck a sandwich in our bag as we departed for the airport and really enjoyed the savory meal and memories instead of lousy airport food. Highly recommend! read more

This deli is permanently closed. We came on March 24th and it had a sign on the door that it's permanently closed.

Ate here every day. Best banana bread in town! They are reasonably priced and have lots of vegetarian options. The peanut noodles were also great and had those almost everyday to snack on. The staff were very nice. Get here early because the place gets packed. read more

Sandwiches as big as your head full of quality ingredients. This is not Subway! Hot options include salads, lasagna, stromboli, and eggplant in single or family sizes. Their prices run from $11 to $14 for single servings, but we usually have leftovers or split a sub. St. John Brewers root beer on self-service tap. read more

Stopped here today pick up sandwiches here the other day & it was amazing! I had the Uncle Peep & hubby had Turkey & Swiss I think. We also snagged some house made chips which are excellent & addictive! Don't miss it if you're in STJ! read more

The BEST sandwich and lasagne ever!!!! Anywhere! Fresh. Delicious. Amazing! Try it! 3rd floor above Starfish market. Premade dinners too. Could go on and on. So very good! AJ makes a mean sandwich and Sara was super sweet. read more

A must stop before/after you visit the beautiful beaches of St.John! Everything is fresh and tasty. Turkey was incredible, and not processed! One sandwich can easily feed two people. A hidden gem located on the thrid level of The Marketplace. read more

Great little cafe with excellent special or made to order sandwiches and huge portions of freshly made pasta dishes, soups, and muffins. They offer breakfast, lunch, and early dinner options with desserts too. Wine can be purchased too. Cash only. Very friendly staff. We ordered lunch and ate there, then ordered dinner as take-out. You'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Awesome, Just got back from St. John. This place makes an absolutely killer sandwich. BIG, they feed you, well worth the $$. Wish i would have found them earlier. I will be back. Don't forget the dill potatoes, edamame and cheesecake. Killer Grinds, thanks again. read more

The Marketplace is a nexus of Cruz Bay, with some excellent shops and *plenty of parking* (better to go to the rear of the marketplace near the hardware store to save the hassle of finding a spot). Venture upstairs to Sam and Jacks - it is open for lunch Tuesday - Sunday with "grab and go items" available till 7. Although this is called a Deli and has some Deli like foods (e.g., sandwiches) what you are getting is super delicious, very thoughtful prepared foods. For example, a sandwich called the Wolf: Fried Rock Shrimp, Spice Cajun sauce, and Arugula on a Baguette. That's one of a dozen odd sandwiches, that you can accompany with home made potato chips and local on-tap root beer. Bottom line, IMO, is that if you're in Cruz Bay, and it's lunch time, you want to go here. But that is not all - if you're thinking of cooking at home, you can pick up some pasta that they make fresh in the afternoons (drying it on racks set up on the thick wooden benches normally for the lunch eaters), home made sauces (lobster, etc.), salad parts with neat dressings, and home made mint ice cream... read more

A Must Stop in St. John. If you're a traveler, love food, appreciate the complication of ingredients and local vibes, this is a must!

This place is SO good. Try The Wolf - it's fried shrimp with arugula (perfect pairing) and cajun remoulade (slightly spicy-sweet creaminess). We got sandwiches to go and ate them on the beach; it was heaven. Open up in NYC please? read more

First of all anybody who gives this place less than five stars is an idiot. The sandwiches are killer, the salads are amazing and the homemade potato chips are the perfect accompaniment. You will absolutely not find better sandwiches or Italian food anywhere on the island and I would love to see this place in the states as it would be my favorite place to go for lunch or grab dinner for later. If you're in St. John go here you won't regret it!!! read more

Loved the Wolf sandwich! Fried cajun shrimp, yum! My wife got the Jimmy, a hefty pulled pork sandwich. They also had some tasty desserts like one of my favorites: puppy chow. We didn't need any wine at the time but the seemed to have a decent selection. read more

Fantastic cold cuts, amazing olive spread, great cheeses, and everything else you might need to put together a great appetizer or fancy sandwich! They need to stay open 24 hours, that is how great they are, but that is just a wild suggestion as they are on "island time" :-) read more
