Word on the street
What locals are saying
East Bay Deli's West Ashley outpost on Savannah Hwy earns its keep as the neighborhood's go-to lunch counter — a New York-style deli with enough Southern comfort to make it feel like its own thing. The Charleston Deli Dip and Chief Reuben move fast for good reason, and the house potato salad draws more praise than almost anything else on the menu. Catering reliability is a genuine strong suit, with a near-perfect on-time record across hundreds of corporate orders — though deli purists who grew up eating in actual New York will remind you that the pastrami portions aren't quite what you'd get on 7th Avenue.
