First time walking into this place and I felt very unwelcome. Instead I was attacked by the cashier or whoever it was at the register. This place doesn't even deserve a star! Note to management: When someone walks into your deli looking confused, please don't be rude. Instead, say welcome to uncle's deli and how may I help you. Sincerely, A very upset customer who will never return!!! read more

$10 for a basic corned beef sandwich. Doesn't include a $4 water and $3 bag of chips. Also prices are "subject to change". That is why they have new menus up that have no prices listed. Absolutely ridiculous and I will not be coming back here. The food isn't that good. read more

Meh. Food is reasonable, have been here about 5-10 times in the past year. It's a sandwich, won't blow your pants off. Pretty good if you're in the mood for them. They messed up on the price of my order today. No receipt, of course... I feel like you shouldn't have to ask for a receipt to verify people aren't screwing up your order. read more

I work in Darien and have frequented Uncle's Deli several times. The food is great, but the woman who works the front counter is offensively impolite and shamelessly rude each and every time I go there. Every. Single. Time. The expression on her face alone is enough to make me want to walk out the door. It's a shame, because I really enjoy the food here. But I just can't get past how insulting this woman can be to customers. read more

$5 for a bacon, egg, cheese on a roll!! Yet their menu says $3.95, Someone is stealing! Plus they need to do something about all the flies buzzing around. Better off going to Jakes Place down the street. read more

If you want to pay 15 bucks for a crap sandwich, be my guest! Literally the lady cashier makes up prices on a daily basis. read more

Uncle's Deli - Does that look appetizing to you? - Delis Near Me - Darien, Connecticut

Avoid at all costs.....Poor Quality, Poor Service, Overpriced, Unsanitary People in this town swear by Uncle's, but I'm assuming they haven't tried a real deli. Slapping a few slices of Turkey with Mayo and Iceberg lettuce does not mean you can charge $9.00 for a sandwich. They even charge extra for adding lettuce and tomato!!! The tuna looks and tastes like it's been sitting around for 3-4 days. The bread is nothing special, and the meats are average at best. WORST OF ALL - they don't wear gloves when making sandwiches, then use the cash register touching credit cards and money, then go back and make sandwiches without washing their hands!!!! Look around....there's no sink even close to wear food is prepared. I'm surprised the state health department hasn't fined them. read more

Wow, I have NEVER felt like such a burden being a customer. I have been coming to uncles for years, but now I think it's time to take my business elsewhere. The ONLY reason I gave two stars is because their food is good. To be treated like I am bothering them when I order is completely unacceptable. Even the woman at the register was rude(not the regular cashier, she's a sweetheart.) Maybe greed has gotten in the way of a great place. Ever since expanding, the quality of the service has gone down considerably, but the prices haven't. 2 sandwiches, 1 soda, and one bag of chips was $22. You would think they would at least be nice for that price. I wish I could have the old uncles back:( read more

After many visits to Uncle's I just had to write a review after this most recent encounter. Rude staff and even ruder cashier. The food was decent, like it usually is, but the woman who works the register is truly nasty. After asking me 3 times what I ordered, the fresh salad platter which is on the menu, she still did not understand what I was talking about. Then came the double charge for the sandwich my fiancé ordered with no apology. Let's top it all off with a hair in my fiancés sandwich. Will not be back. read more

Ordered a chicken parm on a wedge and a grilled cheese with a small tomato sauce. The chicken parm wasn't that bad. The grilled cheese tasted soggy. The tomato sauce doesn't exist but got charged for it and got looked at funny for wanting a refund. Wasn't returned to my card but given cash back. Which is unheard off. Overall this place is overpriced for the service and food. Even in greenwich they don't charge that high read more

I used to come here all the time but am thinking other wise with how rude the cashier was. I called ahead to avoid the long lunch line and the woman quickly put me on hold before I could say hello followed by it losing the connection about a minute later. Mind you, it was just before 11 AM. I waited 5 minutes, and figured i'd call back when it was a little less busy yet upon my call I hear "Listen, I got a line," followed by an abrupt click. Sorry for wanting to give you business, guess i'll take it elsewhere if you're going to hang up on me twice. read more

Really good sandwiches, small place but quick turnaround. Definitely enjoyed it every time I've been there...will return!

I am not sure that the staff in Uncle's could have been more rude. I understand that they are busy, but kindness to a customer is not that difficult. I ordered take out sandwiches online, on their own website, which specifically asks what time you would like to pick the order up. I gave them at least 30 minutes to prepare the order, and actually showed up more like 45 minutes after I ordered. When I finally got to the counter, the cashier basically told me that the online order function is not right, and they operate on at least a 40 minute prepare time (which they had) and to come back in another 15 minutes. So I did that, came inside to wait again to pick up the sandwiches and the owner yells at me saying that I need to wait outside, b/c they cannot have more than 5 in the deli. I asked how was I supposed to know when the order was ready, and she said just keep coming back in from outside (to get yelled at, I think not)! Finally when she realized that it was pick up, she scowled at me to go over to the cashier area. I understand that they are busy, great for them, but, get a better system, explain on your own website if things are not working, and be kind to the people that are buying your sandwiches. The wraps were decent, not great. NO SOUP FOR YOU! read more

I went to this deli with a friend and the place was packed. It can be difficult to find parking in the area. I had an Italian combo which was great and the bread they used was amazingly fresh. My only complaint was that it was difficult to find parking in the area. read more

So tried this place again to give it another chance. However, after today's experience, I'm done. Requested a sautéed spinach, bacon, egg, cheese sandwich on sourdough bread with tomatoes. I watched the guy make my sandwich. I should have just walked out, but now I'm just frustrated with myself that I even gave this place another undeserving chance. I do NOT think this place is very sanitary and I would NOT recommend anyone to eat at this place!!!! I think the health department should frequent this place unexpectedly! This is what I saw while my sandwich was being made: 1. The spinach container, full of spinach, had another container of what appeared to be coleslaw sitting inside and on top of the spinach with the spinach container. This spinach/coleslaw container was just sitting on the counter where the guys were making sandwiches. Ok, so I was already asking myself how clean was the bottom of this coleslaw container that was being stored inside the spinach container full of spinach. Another question I was thinking was how long were these combined containers sitting out on the counter without proper temp control??? 2). So, I saw the grill guy making my sandwich actually remove the coleslaw container from the spinach container, then he placed this coleslaw container on top of the counter where the other guy was making a sandwich. The counter looked like it had crumbs on top or something. The counter definitely wasn't free of debris. The grill guy grabbed a handful of spinach, and then he placed the coleslaw container back into the spinach container still full of spinach. So, now I'm still wondering why I just didn't walk out at this point because I now know that the bottom of this coleslaw container is definitely not free of food debris......definitely not sanitary! 3). So grill guy throws the handful of spinach on the grill, but a leaf and a piece of what appeared to be an onion didn't make it to the grill. He picked up this stranded leaf, then he picked up the onion.....looked at both of these pieces, then he threw it on top of the handful of spinach that was already being sautéed on the grill. 4). Sandwich was made, I paid the $5.85 and walked out without saying anything. I drove home asking myself why I stayed while this sandwich was being made especially seeing everything I saw. I got home, opened the sandwich up and saw a slimy slice of onion in the middle. I looked at the spinach, and saw a speck of something that I couldn't determine the source. Needless to say, I just threw away this $5.85 worth of non-sanitary food into the trash! Again, I will NEVER go back again, and certainly would tell everyone to find another healthier, cleaner, and more sanitary sandwich shop somewhere else! read more

Amazing food and service. I started ordering from here earlier in the week and by the third day they even recognized my number and remembered my order! Will absolutely continue to give them my business read more

I love Uncle's and appreciate their quick service and yummy sandwiches. It's a great place to stop when I'm on the go, and will sometimes sit outside if the weather is nice. Their staff is friendly and they always get my order right! read more

I have been a longtime customers of uncles but as of late the service has been so slow you are lucky to get in and out in under 30 minutes. If you value your time and want some decent food I would recommend going to Mama Carmela's deli that is just down that road. read more

The food is pretty good. The service is atrocious. 0-for-3 in visits there. There will not be a fourth.

Worst service in town. Food is good but the employees make you feel out of place. They can't handle the lunch rush. Be prepared to wait 30 minuets read more

Horrible phone service employees are extremely rude speed of service is at an all time low needs to be taken over by new management.

A solid chicken salad and chicken cutlet sandwich. Limited table seating outdoors only. However, the weather was great and seating was available.. read more

Best cheese steak in all of Connecticut. Minus one star for price. They also seem to make up prices every time I go. -I order the same thing... read more

I love uncle's deli I've been going here since I was a child. My favorite is the turkey club very simple on the wedge the wedges always fresh. It's a great overall Deli usually has good grab and go dessert. read more

I had a very delicious low-fat pastrami on wheat bread. They have a lot of variations to select from. Fast and friendly service.

best deli in the world. no joke. staff and food is the best in fairfield county. there is about a pound of bacon on the blt, get in on a hardroll, helps keep it clean. there is a serious line at the lunch hour so be ready to stand around, some customers can be jerky, but the staff, melchi in particular, is awesome at keeping it moving, and the register girl/lady are the best. if the line is too long, try michael joseph's down the street next to/in the Nielson's flower shop, before you get to the library, on the right. great sandwich combinations and prepared food selection, just a little too pricey to be an everyday lunch spot. read more

Its a shame i work in Darien and i cant even order something from this place because they are so rude. They ask you for your order than give you the dirtest look when you order and they also mess up EVER.SINGLE TIME. Something as simple as egg feta and tomato on a wrap they gave me egg on a wrap ...... sometimes the food is good the service is awful. read more

Uncle's is pretty expensive for sandwiches (suppose it's standard prices for Darien) but they give you a ton of fillings and are quick about service. read more

I had a chicken salad sandwich and it was one of the best chicken salad sandwiches I have ever had. It reminded me of the "old" Fire House Deli in Fairfield big chunks of chicken that were hand pulled. Perfect amount of mayo and seasoning ! read more

What happens when your one of the only delis in town? You overprice your menu and that's been the case here. Sandwiches are average but way too pricey for what they are and offer. read more

Good food.... Amazing service. I recommend their breakfast twisters. Lunch time can get a lil crazy.... But they are quick

Used to be good but now it has gone downhill. They appear to have a lease at the Darien town beaches and library where the restaurants are run by kids. The kids turn off the grills early, undercook food, don't replace the carbonation cylinders so soda is usually flat. Expensive and very poor quality food. I guess that's what happens when businesses expand too fast - quality suffers. read more

Working at Uncles was one of the worst experiences I could have gotten myself into, the Staff may be friendly but Rob and the Manager "mooch" are not as people friendly as some people see them to be. read more

Good wedges and wraps, but pricey. Also, not sure why the price changes on the same things given the day of the week. Service is always nice and they always throw in some candy when you take your bag to go. I've been going here for years and never had an issue (besides the prices) so take the other reviews with a grain of salt. read more

This place has really gone downhill. Have been going there since 2007, so 10 years now. Last week, waited in line to order two simple cold cut sandwiches on white bread. Tall older guy behind the counter was very surly and rude - after asking me to repeat my order twice he barked "hold on!" so he could get more bread from the back. So I waited. "What do you want again?" (Wow, I am very sorry to put you out this way with my business!) So I repeat my order now for the THIRD time to this guy. Go to the register, pay almost $19... That's right, $19.00!!! for two simple white bread sandwiches. Get home, and it's just the cold cuts thrown together on the dry bread, no mayo, no salt or pepper as I had asked for THREE TIMES. The same ingredients would have cost me $7 tops at Stop and Shop. Also, agree with several other posts here too that rolls are frequently old and hard / stale. This place is WAY overpriced, their food is mediocre and they are rude to their customers. Also still annoyingly crowded and slow, but doubt that will be the case much longer if this keeps up. Duchess just down the road actually far better breakfast food, cleaner, faster, with places to sit and better value for $. Stay away from this very overrated rip off.Never wrote a Yelp review before but after two experiences like that there, I had to. Sad part is that this place is a Darien icon and it used to actually be good years ago. read more

Service ain't what it used to be. Miserable older guy that works Sunday morning needs to go. Pricy. Used to be 5 stars

Stopped in here while passing through Darien - awesome sandwiches! There was a pretty long line when we here but it moved really quick. We were expecting a lot from the reviews and the crowds and it did not disappoint. They have a lot of choices or you can make your own sandwiches - either way, it is perfect for brunch or lunch. Wish there were more places like this in upper Manhattan. read more

When my son and I walked into uncles deli we were met with a friendly "hello". My son asked for a bagel with cream cheese and the man went right to work on it. Then a younger kid came in, who was probably a usual costumer. Because the two knew each other, they started going on a random conversation about girls. Then the worker starts blowing the "F" bomb around my kid. Plus finishes the kids order before finishing a simple bagel. When he cashed us out he acted like nothing happened and could not even distribute the proper change to me. After that we went into the car and my son opens his bag and finds that there is no cream cheese on the bagel. So that is why I will never go back to "Uncles Deli" again! read more

I was excited about the new north Stamford location. The first time I went it was great. The last time, the woman waiting on me smelled so much like smoke I could smell it across the counter. It was so bad, it actually made my sandwich wrapping smell like smoke as well. I don't like the smell of smoke and since the smell was so strong I took that to mean she probably didn't wash her hands after her last smoke break. I threw it out. She wasn't too friendly either and I overheard her saying something nasty about another customer. It's too bad, it was good while it lasted. read more

This place is a common lunch spot for the people of Darien to grab a sandwich. Uncle's is often packed, and it takes too long for you to get your sandwich. People that ordered way after me got their order before, which brings reminds me of how inefficient and slow the kitchen is there. Sandwiches are pretty good but for me the place is overpriced. You'll end up paying $10-$15 just for a quick lunch for yourself. In my opinion this place is over hyped. Go to Mama Carmela's or Vavalas instead. I can give it credit for good music (classic rock) and a nice setting to sit outside. read more
