A long-time Arby’s on Gammon Road closed and turned into Sliced Deli in August. It’s not actually a deli; instead, it’s a reasonably priced sandwich shop that shares similarities with its predecessor.
For example, the drive-thru still exists, and the curly fries ($2.75 large order) here taste exactly like Arby’s version. Even the bread tastes the same.
The majority of the sandwiches are hot sandwiches. The fish filet sandwich ($3.99) sports a pretty sizable cod filet for its price. The deep-fried fish sort of resembles McDonald’s filet-o-fish, but it’s much meatier, a bit crunchier and more flavorful, plus it’s topped with a smear of tartar.
I found the smoked brisket sandwich ($4.99) to be satisfying. It’s got tender, fairly smoky brisket, gouda cheese and fried onion strings, and the somewhat sweet BBQ sauce complements the flavors.
I was pleasantly surprised by the pulled pork sandwich ($2.99) because it uses a Carolina (mustard-based) sauce. It’s actually quite good–the meat is super moist, and the bread does a good job of keeping its structure.
My only disappointment was the Philly cheesesteak ($4.99). The sandwich had barely any meat, and the green peppers and onions were under-cooked. Next time, I’ll try either the gyro ($4.49) or the buffalo chicken sandwich ($3.99).
The rest of the menu includes build-your-own sandwiches ($4.99), sides (e.g. mozzarella sticks) and two salads.
Sliced Deli is open every day for lunch, dinner and carryout.
