Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop

I love Capriotti’s! Everything is always fresh! And they have excellent customer service skills

The Bobbie! Thanksgiving dinner on an awesome roll. Been here three times, and both times I didn’t get the Bobbie I thought «Well, that was good, but I still kinda wish I’d ordered the Bobbie again.» In any other sandwich shop, those other two sandwiches would’ve been excellent — but compared to the Bobbie …

Okay, I love the bobbies at Capriottis. Hands down the best in the state, the best on the east coast. Fresh turkey from the whole bird (not that crappy lunch meat stuff) good rolls, good portions. Really hits the spot.
But what compelled me to write this review is the fact that their phone number is nowhere to be found on the Unilocal page! If it is on the site, it certainly isn’t prominent because I couldn’t find it. The majority of folks in Wilmington still order their subs and steaks and… bobbies by phone, so please post the bleeping number. I had to leave my normally reliable, helpful, downright beloved Unilocal app & do a google search for the phone number. I guess Capriottis has more business than it can handle & doesn’t want to encourage people to call… or maybe they only want customers who go the extra mile. It’s sure is an odd and quirky business model, but hey, what do I know

The Bobbie is probably the 2^nd best sandwich in this country, finishing close behind the classic Italian roast pork. Union street is up and coming, so don’t be off put by the neighborhood if you’re from out of town.

when I come to visit I do enjoy getting a sub from here. Everyone I know raves about the thanksgiving on a roll but Im not a fan of cranberry so I opted to get the roast beef sandwich. The flavor was great but the meat was extremely dry. I wish they soaked the meat in its own juices to maintain some of the juiciness that is lost from the meat. But overall it was a great tasting sandwich. The bread was very good too.

Great sandwiches. My friend makes me get him a bobbie whenever we’re in town.

I usually make it a normal stop when visiting family in the area but the service has gone down hill. After being placed on hold for over 10 minutes, i was told they were out of cheesesteak. The next day I tried again, only to be told no hot subs were being sold because it was too hot in the store. The cheesesteaks are pretty good if you can actually get one made.

Simply the best-​tasting sandwich in Delaware, period (if you order the right thing).
Order something with turkey. They don’t use sliced deli turkey. They actually cook real birds every day and fill their sandwiches with (cold) pulled breast meat.

Phenomenal, had one of the best sandwiches ever. Great staff, very friendly. They were extremely fast and efficient. The Capistrano was so full of meats and the right amount of coleslaw and Russian dressing. You have to try this fabulous place.

You know you’re going to get a great sandwich, so I thought I’d shine a light on how NICE everyone is in that store. They are so friendly and pleasant… it just seems like everyone in there is enjoying making people happy with some big ass sandwiches. Nuff said

I never expected it to be a hole in the wall. And rightfully so, with they way my friends talked about it, I expected to walk in and be seated by waiter wearing a tie (clearly no one told me it was a sandwich shop, and I have no idea why I didn’t Unilocal it). We walked in to a counter filled with sandwich orders and plenty of busy body buzzing about, making sandwiches. It was a long counter too, behind it were the grilles. There were 2 soda refrigerators and a potato chip stand. Sitting in front of the chip stand there sat a lone patio table with three chairs that would eventually seat me and my friends. A woman greeted us from behind the counter, «How ya doin’? You ready to order?» She yelled in her heavily clad east coast accent. I was amused. My friends ordered their sandwiches: one turkey, one cheese steak. I asked the waitress to navigate me through the favorites on the menu. She told me all were good, but the most popular as the Bobbie (apparently the place is famous for them). I ordered without a second thought in a 9in sub. I grabbed a bag of chips and a bottle of water.
Piled high with turkey meat, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. FAR FAR AWAY. while it wasn’t warm, the chilled taste made me nostalgic for my grandfathers turkey and dressing during thanks giving. Simple pleasure.
The greatness of this sandwich made me look to see if any delis were open in DC. After finding one in DuPont circle, I vowed to be back for a happy hour or meet up with friends on a random Tuesday.
Good job Capriotti!

We always get lunch from this place for large group lunches at work. I never heard of the bobbie sandwich until this place came up on conversation. It’s like a turkey dinner in a sub sandwich: Stuffing, cranberry juice, and of course — turkey. It’s hearty and tastes great. They have a lot of other sandwich varieties but I always stick with the bobbie. The downside about this place is that they don’t deliver so the limiting factor is, when’s my food gonna arrive? (Read: When can an employee be spared to pick up our sandwiches?)

I’ve had an adequate cheesesteak here before but it was at night when I was a a desperate former Philadelphian visiting for too short a time to hit my favorite spot. So, under those circumstances, it satisfied.
Today, the flies were buzzing, the lady cooking was coughing and hacking over my meat and, in daylight, the whole place looked like it needed a serious scrub. That said, the bread was fresh and what it should be but the overall sandwich was just passable. But I don’t think I’d come back… unless desperate.

This place makes subway look like garbage. Its a small sub shop located in the city of wilmington. They have a variety of subs included vegetarian options. The subs are super tasty and will not leave you hungry.

Fantastic Italian sub. This was my first visit and definitely not my last. Fresh bread, fresh veggies and delicious meat. What more can you ask for? I’m from Philly, and I take my hoagies seriously. This was one of the best I’ve ever had.

Great Italian subs too, but if you’re going to this place and you aren’t regularly getting ‘The Bobbie’, the homemade turkey, or the homemade roast beef sub, you are DEFINITELY missing out.
Wilmington has a couple of amazing sub places that all make a great Italian sub, but nobody makes the above quite like Capriotti’s.
The Union Street store is definitely the best one in my opinion. Whether that’s real or perceived, I’ve always felt like the subs at this location were made better.
Hard working crew inside too. Not much for scenery, but the goal of coming to this place is to grab a delicious sandwich and then drive recklessly back to your house so you can eat it (disclaimer: don’t actually drive recklessly over a sandwich, you silly Unilocal reader).

Got to experience the legendary «The Bobbie» which includes homemade turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo and have to say I was very satisfied. If you’re in DE consider this the «Pat’s» of the «Slower Lower» region.

The Bobby sandwhich is fantastic. Big serving. Never thought of putting thanksgiving between 2 pieces of bread, but it works

Wow for once there is a food place that deserves my 5 stars in DE! If you are looking for something actually good to eat in DE this is the place. It is unique and it is something you cannot get anywhere else.
This place is know for the Bobbie sandwich which is basically Thanksgiving in a sandwich. I am not a big sandwich fan myself but I absolutely love the Bobbie sandwich here. Its basically submarine (or «hoagie» for all you East coast people) with shredded perfectly seasoned not dry turkey (I find most turkey meat to be dry but this place makes it perfect), stuffing, cranberry, and a special gravy sauce. The portions are HUGE and the price is VERY CHEAP for what you are getting.
One thing to note is that this is not a sit-​in type of a place and you can only order to-​go. The store isn’t that clean, nor neat, and the location is kind of «ghetto» so come here not alone or not at night. But since the sandwiches are so good, I think it’s worth it.
I HATE sandwiches and I HATE turkey but I love the Bobbie sandwiches here and if you can make me love turkey and sandwiches you deserve my 5 starts.
Overall I highly recommend this place for anyone who is passing through DE.

Not great, not bad, just meh. For my friends’ wedding, we had a sandwich tray from Capriotti’s. My friend was raving about some sandwich that had stuffing and turkey, but sadly, this tray did not have any.
There were a variety of sandwiches– tuna fish, turkey, ham, etc… The tuna was not good in my opinion, but everything else seemed to be pretty decent. I’m guessing this place might be different if I were able to order my own sandwich, but based on my exp, it was just ok.
