Deli of Course
About This Spot
Stepping into Deli of Course feels like slipping into a comforting neighborhood nook that’s both lively and unpretentious. Nestled just a stone’s throw from South Station, this inviting spot hums with the gentle rhythm of downtown Boston life, yet it carries the ease and familiarity of a favorite local haunt. The steady flow of patrons, from early risers grabbing breakfast to lunchtime regulars, fuels an atmosphere that’s bustling but never rushed—an everyday pause where genuine smiles and quick hellos feel spontaneous rather than rehearsed.
The space itself embraces you with a homey energy, where the scent of fresh sandwiches and breakfast fare melds with the warm chatter buzzing around. It’s a place where the simple act of ordering becomes a moment of connection—not just a transaction but a small shared experience. The staff’s approachable friendliness adds to this welcoming vibe, making it clear that you’re not just another face in line.
As you settle in, the menu reflects straightforward, satisfying fare crafted with care rather than fuss. Whether it’s the comforting warmth of perfectly cooked scrambled eggs balanced with a gentle hint of cheese, or the earthy familiarity of home fries that strike just the right balance between tender and crisp, the offerings feel like a nod to true comfort food done well. Lunch options, such as hearty sandwiches piled generously and complemented by fresh, simple salads, carry that same honest flavor and satisfying heft, ideal for fueling a busy midday or unwinding briefly from the city’s pace.
Though street parking might tempt you to linger just a bit less, the location’s proximity to transit makes it an easy destination to pop into. It’s this blend of convenience and character that draws people back, creating a quietly cherished spot where locals reconnect with the kind of good, no-nonsense food that tastes like home.

Ambiance: Homey and lively Parking: It is difficult to find street parking in this area. It is very close to South Station in Downtown Boston. Pricing: Cheap. Food (flavors): Scrambled eggs are always cooked to perfection with the perfect ratio of cheese to egg. I love the home fries which are never too hard or too soft. They don't use any special seasoning on the home fries but they still taste good. The whole wheat toast with butter is also super good; my toast is never burnt or dry. They always put the perfect amount of butter on it. Portion size: Medium Drinks: None Note: At some point, I'd go every week and the woman in charge would remember my order without me having to actually order. It was so sweet. They have great customer service.

I have passed this place for months and thought - "I should stop in here." - - Well, today I DID! - - and I was not disappointed. Since it was lunch time I chose the grilled chicken and Broccoli. VERY TASTY - - and nicely seasoned. I shall return.

Great portions at a reasonable price, especially in this area of town. The meat was stacked high on the sandwich I got, and the service was friendly and quick. About the only thing I might comment on as caution is the corned beef wasn't all that flavorful, and seemed more like a bland ham. The other toppings were so good, I personally didn't care that much, but if you like your corned beef to hit like corned beef, you might be slightly disappointed.

The best breakfast options for good prices, right next to the train station! Highly recommend the bacon egg and cheese and home fries. They also do a nice grilled muffin! Super friendly staff, never long lines. $5 minimum for cards but you basically get the closest thing to a home cooked meal.

Walked in for a quick lunch. Wasn't busy at all. The staff behind the counter were super welcoming in a genuine and endearing way. Haven't had chicken salad in a while so I opted for the Chicken Salad Pita BLT. It was a great price and wrapped up quickly for my coworker and I to walk out within minutes. The chicken salad was okay, a tad bland, but the pita was a nice atlernative to regular sandwich bread and the vegetables were incredibly fresh. Those two aspects elevated the chicken salad and made the whole "sandwich" great. For me, this was a nice lunch spot with quick service and extremely reasonable prices.

Great little local sandwich shop right near South Station. Great for a grab and go sandwich or a brief sit down on the way to Amtrak. My wife and I got the Bostonian sandwich, half light rye, half dark rye. Turkey, ham, salami with Cole slaw and all the standard veggies. Good deli pickles too. A little under $12 per person after tax.

I was desperate for a solid meal after traveling 6 hours on a train with no food and this place did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly, there’s tons of different options for every kind of eater, and their prices are fair in this economy. The chicken kabob was juicy, savory and cooked to perfection. The russian dressing is the star of this place, sweet and savory!!! If you’re looking for a place to get a quick lunch and feel 100% satisfied after, this place is for you!! I will be back to eat here on my next adventure.
