Came here for lunch and the average price is around 7 bucks for a sandwich. I got the Italian, your standard sandwich. It wasn't filling tho and afterwards I had to go look for more food. I think it's a little pricey for just a sandwich when jimmy johns is up the street and cheaper. They have all the basic deli sandwiches as well as egg salad, mac & cheese, and some other sides. I paid 9 bucks for my sandwich and a soda. Ask for a hoagie and not a sandwich- more meat! Staff is friendly and they take card.

It was great, clean, simply prepared. Don't expect to discover any new food flavors or unique concepts, just cheap, tasty, typical deli fare.

Great people, great taste, great portions. Came her for lunch, and for $10 got a well-portioned corned beef hoagie (with coleslaw!), a bag of chips, and a 20-oz coke. No complaints as everything tasted supreme. Cashier noticed I was getting jalapeno chips and dropped two extra pickles in my bag.. what a guy :). Great place worth visiting!

This place was fantastic. Quick, clean, tasty and cheap. Not a combination you usually find in a single place.

Deliciously simple sandwiches made with fresh ingredients. Be sure to get the potato salad, it's fantastic.

DISREGARD THE HIGH REVIEWS. I suspect they are written by Bain's staff. This place is a grand disappointment and the food is complete shit. So, based on the strong (and terribly WRONG) reviews on yelp, I walked 16 blocks to this place. Bain's does not deliver unless you order at least $25 worth of stuff and even then, it tacks on a hefty delivery fee if your order is less than $75. When they said "we do not deliver", they were not kidding. I thought they meant that they require you to pick up your food. Little did I know that they also meant that they do not meet even the most basic expectations. I ordered two simple sandwiches: (1) Two eggs with bacon on a kaiser roll; (2) Albacore tuna on a bagel with American cheese. For any place worth its salt, that would be an easy order. For the three stooges on duty at this place (one of whom was the owner), however, this order was rocket science. I arrived at the place after a long walk and they handed me three sandwiches. I ordered only two. The woman behind the counter slowly explained to me, as if I was the idiot, that I had ordered two eggs, so of course, that meant one egg on each of two rolls. Um, what? After an explanation that took far too long, she finally understood that I wanted two eggs on one roll. Imagine that! I did not want to give her a hard time, so I agreed to take both sandwiches. I just happened to also ask her in passing if she included bacon in the sandwiches and that led us to mistake #2. No bacon. She reassured me that she would quickly add the bacon. She then walked over to a stack consisting of some of the most beat-up-looking, disgusting strips I have ever laid eyes on. I started to ask her to forget the bacon, but she insisted she had this covered. She then threw some old, crusty strips in the microwave. By the time the microwave beeped, the smell of burning bacon had filled the entire spot. She then opened up the sandwiches, giving me a view of the spongy, McDonald's-type grossness that they were trying to pass off as eggs, and slapped the charred bacon on my sandwiches. Great. Before leaving, I asked if the tuna was albacore. The menu stated albacore and I had requested albacore, but I was quickly learning one cannot take anything for granted with Bain's Deli. The owner, standing by as Sandwichgate unfolded, reassured me that it was albacore on a bagel. Awesome, at least they got that right. Except not. I just got back from that craphole and I am currently staring at something that is not albacore. It is on a dried out, hard bagel that is not the type I asked for. And there is no American cheese. In fact, I don't know what the hell this sandwich is. Bain's deli is 0/2 on the world's simplest order and I am shit out of luck. My lunch hour is ending, so I guess I will just have to go hungry. If you want to know how I feel, please go ahead and order from this ramshackle mess of a place. Bon appetit!

This is a strange place. If you order a hoagie they'll give you mountains of meat; more than you expect. But then they'll charge you $.50 extra for cheese, which should be standard on any hoagie. When you check out, they give you a free pickle but there are no napkins. Come here if you want an odd dining experience.

A great little deli in Wilmington. The place is clean, the workers are friendly, the service is quick, and most importantly, the sandwiches are fresh and delicious. I'd say a good value for your money too. One weird thing though. I ordered a hot Reuben and instead of grilling it on the press they microwaved the meat and cheese. Oy Vey! Won't deter me from coming back at all. Next time I'll ask them to press it.
