North Buena Deli & Wine Uptown

Must-Try Dishes:
Classic Italian sub, Chipotle chicken sandwich, Reuben
What makes it special: A deli-sandwich counter paired with a serious wine-and-snack shop.
#2
Uptown Deli
8
A neighborhood market-and-deli hybrid that quietly delivers some of the most satisfying made-to-order sandwiches in Uptown. The move is to pick one house sandwich (or the Italian beef), grab it hot, and leave the rest of the grocery aisles for another day.
Must-Try Dishes:
Italian beef sandwich, Big Windy turkey pesto panini, Turkey club sandwich
What makes it special: A market-style deli counter that turns out legit made-to-order sandwiches.
Worthy Picks
7.8
A casual Uptown deli-style counter where the burger is a surprisingly strong play alongside fried sides and big sandwich energy. It’s at its best as a no-frills takeout order: one burger, one crunchy side, and you’re done.
Must-Try Dishes:
Deluxe cheeseburger, Jalapeño poppers, Fries
What makes it special: A deli-counter sleeper where the burger-and-fried-sides combo holds up.
