East Bay Deli opened its doors on September 11, 2001 – a day of immense challenge and reflection for our country. This was the beginning of our journey to bring a true New York-style deli experience to the Lowcountry. From our first location on East Bay Street in downtown Charleston, we’ve been serving up big flavor, warm hospitality, and classic deli favorites.
New York inspired. Built in the South.
Made to DELI Your Way
Great food begins with great ingredients, generous portions, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Whether you’re craving a towering New York Yankee or our local favorite, The Citadel, we want every bite to feel like something worth coming back for.
We’re more than a great sandwich shop. Step inside any of our locations and you’ll find walls lined with hand‑picked artifacts from across the country, each chosen to reflect the history and character of the neighborhoods we call home. Every store has its own personality — just like the communities we serve.
We believe food brings people together. That’s why we host Kids’ Night events at several of our locations and proudly support organizations across South Carolina that serve children, animals, veterans, and neighbors with special needs.
From a single downtown deli to a dozen locations across the Charleston and Columbia areas, we’ve grown — but our mission hasn’t changed. We’re here to Feed Your Belly with food that’s fresh, filling, and always delicious.
Thank you for making us your neighborhood deli!
