Our Story

A Camden tradition,
built one sandwich at a time.

When 2nd St Deli opened its doors on South 2nd Street, Camden didn't have many choices for a sandwich done right. We did it anyway — slowly, carefully, and with ingredients we'd be proud to serve our own families.

Today, that philosophy hasn't changed. Every loaf is sourced from local bakeries. Every cut of meat is cured in-house. Every pour from the bar is chosen with the same intention we bring to the kitchen.

We're not fast food. We're food worth waiting for.

Kind Words

What our guests
have to say.

"The roast beef sandwich here is unlike anything I've had in the city. You can taste the care in every bite — from the bread to the aioli. This is what a deli should be."

— A regular from Cooper Street

"We came for lunch and stayed for three hours. The atmosphere is warm, the staff remembers your name, and the Camden Old Fashioned is dangerously good."

— Visitors from Center City

"Finally, a place in Camden that treats a sandwich like it matters. The South 2nd Italian changed my understanding of what an Italian sub can be."

— A Camden local
