Ordered food for 40 people. Pit beef, turkey, pulled pork, sides – everything was excellent and my guests were impressed. We also got buffalo wings which were large and fresh! I’m so excited that I got to go back to Charcoal Deli to cater a family party – last time I got food from you guys I was 17 and Johnny C’s was still open! Keep up the great work, we’ll be back!

This place has fallen off. The Mac and cheese is greasy and flavorless and all around terrible. The ribs were lackluster, kinda like the grocery store ones in shrinkwrapped plastic that were frozen for 2 years and then your mom remembered em and cooked em up one night. The only thing that was good was the sweet tea and lemonade. They should close the doors and just quit trying.

Just had the most amazing turkey bacon club on Kaiser roll. It was fantastic…warm grilled turkey and nice crispy bacon, it was heavenly. Husband loved his pit beef. Of course the fries….delicious!!

I’ve been eating here for over 20 years and it’s still absolutely amazing to this day or better than ever I think. This is a local gem of a true classic pit style bbq. Very friendly people that work here also. One of my favorites to get is a pit turkey/pit beef 50/50 combo sandwich which they stuff high with meat on a huge tasty and perfect bun that exceeds what you thought you may get. Truly happy they’re still doing great business and have lots of locals that know to go here and not to chain bbq corporate places. Outdoor seating or take to go. Best part is the price is also very reasonable bc that big sandwich is about 10$ and I’m as full as could be even with no sides.

1st time ordering from here. Was recommended by my coworkers. Pulled pork sandwich is good. Ribs are good. Mac & Cheese is trash to me no flavo.Baked beans not good to me. Half & Half. Nah it doesn’t hit right.

Best ribs I’ve ever had!!! I try for the lunch special, which is an amazing deal. Their ice tea and lemonade are also great, pairs great with the ribs!!!

Charcoal Deli is hands down my favorite place to eat in the entire state of Maryland! I’ve moved around the country and truly no other pit style meat, lemonade, or fries compare/even come close. I truly love charcoal deli!

This is a hidden gem. Finger licking, sweet tangy savory bbq, great side salads. Always packaged with rolls and extra napkins. Has become our favorite until PoGreens returns.
