Emilio's General Store & Take-Away

My husband & I have been coming here for 2+ years, since we moved into the area. Their sandwiches are THE BEST! FANTASTIC bread!! No other place in this area has bread like this! My favorite place to get a wonderful sandwich! My favorite is the Vegetarian, my husband's are the Carolina Cuban & Italian. We both love the crabcake sandwich. It's not on regular menu, but is, when in season, and available, a weekly special. Check it out. They only accept CASH.

Visited on a quiet Monday and was so excited to find a vegetarian option! The sandwich I ordered was loaded up with delicious veggies. I would definitely get the same sandwich again! My husband got a gyro which he enjoyed as well. Indoor (limited) or outdoor seating!

Such nice people working here. We were happy to meet them & chat with them. Their Emilio & crab sandwiches were delicious ! Edenton is such a beautiful, historical town.

This was our 1st visit to Emilio's and it won't be our last! Great sandwiches and friendly service. I had the South Broad and my husband had the Club. Delicious!!! Baguettes are fresh made and wonderful. Can't wait to try the other sandwiches on the menu.

My grandson, Aaron, and I went on a photography weekend in May with my daughter, Meri, to Alligator River, NC. We visited Edenton during the trip. We went to Emilio’s General Store and takeout for lunch and were very pleased with our decision to go there. The owners are wonderful and gracious hosts. Our lunch was outstanding. We will go again when we are in that area. Photos are of the owner reminiscing about his time spent with Julia Child and one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten

I’ve been coming here for about a year now and every time it is fantastic. We get the Italian sandwhiches and they are divine!! The ingredients are great and the bread is even better.

Always try to plan our trip to and from NC and NH so that we can have a sandwich from Emilio’s! Today I had the crab cake on the baguette - delicious!

We love their sandwiches for lunch. They are always so friendly here. I recommend calling ahead if you are wanting to "grab and go" especially if your sandwich is hot. Otherwise it doesn't take long at all.

Wonderful Gyro, the homemade Tzatziki is great! Healthy, light and delicious. Cash Only and worth every penny. Great way to finish a walk in downtown Edenton. The owner is very friendly.

My husband and I ate lunch at Emilio's while on a week's vacation in the area. I loved the variety of sandwiches to choose from. The food was great, and the staff was friendly and attentive. They even wrote out a tzatziki sauce recipe for me! Would definitely go again when we're back in Edenton.

The sandwiches here are truly delicious. They make their own bread, so the glorious smell of baking hugs you as soon as you enter. Well worth the cost for the turkey club, the Carolina reuben, anything with two pieces of bread and meat.
My only complaint is that they do not accept credit cards. My wife and I had to walk to the bank around the corner to get cash and we were going to give up and go somewhere else for lunch... but the smell lured us back. I'm glad we returned.

We stopped by to explore Edenton on our way back from the Outer Banks. It was so nice to stumble across Emilio's General Store. They not only gave us a warm welcome, but they also went out of their way for our pooch. My husband had the Cuban sandwich and loved the fresh bread and pulled pork. The crab cake sandwich was also delicious! We will be returning!

Absolutely excellent. Best sandwiches in town! The owners are some of the nicest people I've ever met. This place is a must visit in Edenton! The gyro is probably the best I've ever had, tzatziki is homemade and excellent.

Great little place worth subs. Best is the crab cake sub. Baguette is made in the house.
Make sure you got cash on you.

This place is so great. The owner runs the whole place and is such a nice man. He worked with Julia Childs! Best sandwiches and a great little shop. Bring cash only, but don’t miss it!

Always the best and mr. Emilio so so sweet and kind I love going in there ! He always makes you day brighter and the food is perfect and some of the best around edenton ! My favorite is the crab cake sub !!!

Creative yet recognizable delicious sandwich options with high quality food and service by Emelio- a retired chef! Extra bonus- ask Emelio about his life adventures. Fun decor to appreciate while waiting for your lunch and service with a smile from his staff.

My husband and I both got a sandwhich at Emilio's and they were both wonderful! One of the best sandwhiches I've ever had. Service was very, very friendly as well. All around, we were both very satisfied.

Beat Food in Edenton!!! Spoiled us as we won’t eat and don’t like the rest of the places now. Amazing service, just wish his hours were longer but we can plan around that. Best Gyro we have ever had!! The man is a genius!!

Wonderful experience. Great gyro. Wonderfully fresh vegetables. But what I enjoyed most was my conversation about the early history of Edenton with a staff member. Glad I visited.
