Eddie’s Little Shop & Deli — Restaurant in Alexandria

I'm from the Bronx, NYC & was excited to support a 'native NYer.'

My wife & I ordered an Italian sub and a 3 cheese grilled cheese sandwich (1️⃣ of the cheeses was American (btw)) and 2 sodas.

The sub was good, not great, and my wife said the grilled cheese was 'OK.'

My main problem was the price: $47.00. The ambiance was like a Starbucks experience w/food.

At these prices, Subway's is a better deal as there is not much difference in the products we purchased.

It's like going out for a slice of pizza and paying for a steak.

The food was OK but WAY overpriced for what you get. There are way better options and food products available in the Old Town area.

Unfortunately, I will not be going...

Gorgeous shop! Travelling from Europe, stumbled upon Eddie’s. If I had cooking facilities I would buy everything in here! Fantastic Italian pastas (dried but I was informed they will be introducing fresh pastas and so on in a week).

Made up my own sandwich- also informed they have excellent mozzarella. HUGE and delicious sandwich, or to use American vernacular, sub.

Eddie himself is so friendly and personable and demonstrably passionate about quality and you can see the love he puts into the shop.

Shop local! Get a sandwich!

Re: the person below who said their sandwich didn’t have enough meat, mine had an abundance of it! And I’m sure if you had asked Eddie he would have rectified...

I am completely a plain Jane sandwich girl. I have been stuck on the Crunch Time sandwich, to the point they know that I am getting that sandwich when I walk through the door. BUT, Eddie's has changed my mind about everything! I've always have heard about the cutlet sandwiches. So, I finally tried one. Y'all, it was amazing! I highly recommend the cutlets. Along, with the nostalgia vibes they've got some pretty neat snacks and I've plenty of times have picked up some sauces and noodles for a last-minute dinner idea. Also, the seasonal drinks are great. It's refreshing to have a half-n-half with cherry lemonade and iced tea. Don't forget to get a cannoli every once...
