Uncle’s Deli

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.

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…

$ 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.

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

I had a delicious bacon, egg, cheese and Jalapeño sandwich, I enjoyed till the last bit. Place is little small but you will get fast service. One thing I notice while standing on the line, they have customer of the month, if you are lucky enough you can become a customer of the month not only that you will get free lunch for entire month.

When I selected two stars for this review Unilocal automatically put up the phrase «Meh. I’ve experienced better» and that is exactly how I feel about Uncles. The rub here is that I really want to like this place, as I like sandwiches, grew up going to deli’s, and try to always send my business to local places that support the community. With that said, Uncle’s Deli sucks. The previous reviews pretty much sum up the bad: artificially created long line, egregious prices, and constantly making mistakes/​over-​charging at the register. The actual sandwich is OK at best.
The bottom line: there are better deli’s in Darien/​Fairfield County.

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.

This place sucks. Literally the most over rated place i have ever been to. I can honestly say I have never had a good experience at Uncles. The cashier makes up joke prices– $ 12.00 for a chicken sandwich is highway robbery. There are countless times when I have came home and my order has been completely wrong. I strongly suggest going elsewhere if you are in the mood for a sandwich.

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!!!

Great place. Nice staff. Very much a local business. Steak and cheese wraps and chicken cutlets on a roll with cheese are amazing

I write this review with a heavy heart. I would love to positively review Uncle’s but I can’t. The only redeeming quality of this local establishment is its location. It has only 4 very tight parking spaces and several outdoor tables. There is no room inside the Deli at all; you’re like sardines standing there, ordering, paying and waiting for your order.
I have been to Uncle’s enough to qualify for a free sandwich. One day my steak sandwich was not cooked thoroughly and some parts were red and still mooing. On my next visit I told the cooks about it: I was told I should have asked for it to be well done. Don’t most places assume well done steak sandwiches unless you ask otherwise? So it was MY fault. They did not offer another sandwich nor did they offer a refund or a credit.
Another day I order a burger (well done) with fries. I receive my burger but no fries. I ask where my fries are and the cashier tells me I should have asked for the platter. There was a long line and I had to wait for my fries. Again it was MY fault. I asked for a burger and fries… why didn’t the cook ask me anything? He just ignored my request for fries because he didn’t hear the word platter? Two of the three cooks there do not speak English well. The cashier was very rude. Again no offer of making it good for my wait. I paid for my burger and fries and waited TWICE.
The food here is no better than any other local dive. They have nothing original. They have been around a long time so that must buy them some slack. I stopped going there; I don’t need to pay for rude service where I’m wrong when they screw up!

The local greasy spoon deli of Darien. Unfortunately all the grease, fat and mayo added to the food still doesn’t seem capable of producing a palatable result.
Just about the only redeeming factors of Uncles are its convenient location right on the post road in the center of Darien and it’s absurdly large portion sizes. At $ 9.99 a sandwich you will 100% get two meals out of any sandwich you buy.
Sadly though the globs of heavy mayo …(and that’s saying something because I love mayo), inferior ingredients and poor technique applied to their preparation really drags uncles down. The meat is often burned or slimy. The eggs and bacon are either under done/​raw or over done and burned. My friend recently got food poisoning from one of their breakfast sandwiches.
If I’m going to eat something soaked in fat or incredibly unhealthy, it better taste amazing and somehow uncles isn’t capable of this.
Alas, this place is a textbook lesson on location. It is always packed and there really aren’t many more options that are as centrally located in Darien. shoot for Panera or UCBC for a safer option in the area.

Authentic. Tasty. The best. Can’t go wrong here. Never had a bad meal from Uncle’s. Breakfast sandwiches are unbeatable. The grub is fresh and the service is great!

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.

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.

Breakfast is nothing to waste your time over. Way over priced for eggs.

Defiantly one of the best delis in Fairfield county even though it can be a little pricy but it’s Darien. Very clean and friendly staff!!!

I admit, I eat here at least twice a week with an office in Darien. I can walk there, so it’s the best deli in walking distance. It is above average for a deli for sure, but I judge a good deli by how well they can make an Italian; Theirs is so-​so.
They do offer generous helpings of meat on each sandwich, so if you like stuffed sandwiches, you’ll be happy enough to return. I recommend the Rachel. It hits the spot on those cooler days.

Agree with many reviewers who find nothing special about uncle’s. I was rooting for the new location in North Stamford but was not impressed. The California wrap was tasteless chicken salad on a stale wrap and they forgot the avocado as promised. At $ 8.50 it was a big disappointment.
It’s bye-​bye uncle’s and back to the wonderful Giovana’s for me!

tiny little shop has its only parking.
