Again
Bye! You look bad not I

It was pretty good. Not great. I got a Philly cheesesteak and it says that it is oozing with cheese..... I was hard-pressed to find much cheese at all and the meat was overcooked. For the price you pay for a premium sandwich. I guess I expected better.

If you compare it to Jersey Mikes it's not even close. Jersey Mikes is 100 times better. Maybe the line cook who prepared the sandwich should go have a cheesesteak at Jersey Mikes and that would give him a better idea how to cook it.

This review is for take-out only.

I have walked by this place plenty of times over the years, but somehow have never tried it until today. The menu is quite extensive.

I got the Central Park Salad with Buttermilk Ranch dressing. It had herb-roasted Chicken, Tomatoes, Red Onion and Avocado on a bed of Romaine. It was excellent! The chicken had amazing flavor. I was pleased that they used real Buttermilk Ranch also. (I'm a Ranch snob and hate the imitation stuff.) I would definitely order this again. I will note that the portion size was much smaller than our usual place we go to in our building nearby. The plastic box was half the width of what we normally get in the building where I work.

My coworker got the Chicken Tortilla Soup. She thought it was very good also.

We hope to go back soon and try some of the other choices.

Decent sandwiches and wraps (either on their menu or build your own) for takeout which I can appreciate in a pinch in the CBD

My wife and I were initially disappointed they were no longer serving breakfast (we came in at 10:30), but the staff offered to make us breakfast anyway. Outstanding breakfast sandwiches and a great selection. We'll be back!

This was a completely different dining experience for me, as we had limited time for lunch, so we tried Door Dash for the first time today ... and it could not have been easier!

We split a Fat Cat sandwich ($20.25) from Empire State Deli, which is a full pound of grilled NY style pastrami on toasted Rye, with Swiss Cheese, mustard and Russian Dressing. Delicious, and more than enough for two to share.

Door Dash took nine-minutes, from pickup to putting the hot delicious sandwich in my hands.

I am super pleased, both with Empire State Deli, (a business where I have never been, but has earned a high Yelp rating, which gave me confidence to order sight-unseen) and with Door Dash, whose slick website and fast service means I'll be ordering through them again.

Empire State Deli, Five Stars for their remarkable Fat Cat Sandwich, and Door Dash, Five Stars, for their remarkable service and delivery.

Wow. I'm in from out of town and I honestly just wanted to find a good deli sandwich and some soup. I stumbled upon this place and it seemed perfect .... And it was.

The local feel you get when you're in this place is awesome. You walk up to the counter and order and wait for your name to be called - my food came out very quickly and even more fresh and hot. You could tell everything is cut and made to order. I personally kept it simple and got the 6" Clipper and lobster bisque. Both absolutely delish! The service was also very nice and welcoming. Thank you guys for doing such a great job!

If you're a local I'm sure you already know about this place - if you're in town visiting make sure to add this place to your list l.

This place was closing,,, I walked in the side entrance of the deli. These people were fantastic. Normally when a place is closing in the restaurant business, and someone walks in the last minute, the product is normally lack-luster. Not here,,, they welcomed me like it was the middle of lunch time. Totally unexpected!! The sandwich and fries were probably one of the best I've had in New Orleans!
Bravo, place was extra clean and food arrived in record time!! I will be back for sure.

Saddest Ruben I have ever had. Hate to leave bad reviews but dam that sandwich had so little corn beef on it. The hot dog for 7.99 was as small as it gets. You would think you are getting at least a 1/4 pound hot dog for that price but nope. Can't speak to the other items but definitely a hard pass for me.

My first time eating here and I was so happy to see some thought put into vegetation food! They had 2 really good veggie options - a veggie sandwich with eggplant and veggies and a black bean burger. I got the sandwich and my colleague got the burger. He definitely LOVED his burger and devoured it in 5 minutes lol! It was very well done!

For me, the veggie sandwich was very surprising, because it was so flavorful! the hoagie roll was great, the eggplant had been well seasoned and the sandwich overall was delicious! We also got the fries to share - very well done! Crispy on the outside, soft inside and the perfect thickness!

The cup of tomato soup I got was not the best I had ever had, because it was very thick and felt like it hadnt been cooked long enough.

Overall, excellent experience for a small office deli. I know the wait was long, but totally worth it! From what I understand, this is a small family owned business and I saw everyone hard at work, cranking out excellent food.
