"11/18/23: The reason I had to walk across a highway after breakfast.BIg Al and Miss Andrea are so personable and welcoming. He is at the grill cooking up deliciousness. She takes the orders and handles the flow of customers.My travel buddy suggested this spot I'm not a big fan of "regular breakfast items, eggs, pancakes etc so when I saw the menu had alternate items such as Porkchops and shrimps and grits I quickly called. Big Al himself picked up and stated he had one more and do I want him to hold it. Heck yes was my response.Upon arrival he asked were you the one that called I said yes he replied you look as you sound New York...lol.Folks please note it is a small establishment in the event you need to wait it will have to be outside. Once it was our turn we ordered the Porkchops...folks the "one pork chop" he saved was 3 huge pieces. It came with potatoes, eggs, and a biscuit.We also ordered the shrimp and grits with crab, biscuits with sausage gravy and cinnamon roll.Portions were huge although we shared we still each had leftovers to take.The sausage gravy for the biscuits had chunks of sausage, it was well seasoned and spicy we have like 4 biscuits.As our hotel was not far about a 10 minute walk we decided to walk instead of calling for the hotel shuttle that dropped us off.When in Nashville this a MUST but plan accordingly as its first come first serve. It's basically similar to mom and pop establishment so do not look for fine dining the cups plates etc mismatch which I think adds to the character.So happy we partaked and happy to say we dined at Big Al's."
"The best elevated Mexican/Latino food in the area.A thoughtful menu and well executed dishes. Good service."
"5/5 every single time. Young Ave Deli has the most consistent food and service of anywhere in Memphis. I would recommend the mozzarella sticks, fries for the table, and literally anything else because it has never been wrong :) sitting on the patio when the weather is nice is my favorite"
"Pops deli is the real deal when it comes to Philly sandwiches! Great tasting hot and fresh and the home fries are excellent and hot! Everything is prepared right after you order and the service is fast and the people are friendly and courteous! The restaurant is a nice place to eat with a family atmosphere and a clean environment that makes you feel at home! I really enjoyed the experience and the wings are very good also!"
"Yelp suggested this space to me; and, from the reviews and photos, my husband and I decided that we needed to give this place a shot! We were headed that direction the other day and made it a pint to add Brick Deli as a stop on our journey. I'm so glad we did! The food was excellent as hell and other reviewers has promised! I wish I had snapped a photo of our food but was so hungry that it didn't happen, this time. We will definitely be back again!!! P.S.A. to parents: don't pass this place by; they are kid friendly before 9:00pm!"
"Super cute sandwich type shop where you order at the counter and can sit inside or out. It's off the main road about 2 doors down. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich and a side of pasta salad. My son enjoyed the pasta salad a lot. He just felt like he needed more of it. My sandwich was tasty but not as filling as I was hoping for the price. It came on a white style bread and had I had known, I would have asked for. Different bread option. Because the pasta salad didn't fill up my son, he took the other half of my sandwich. The chicken salad was super smooth and had small crunchy pieces of pecans. There might have been grapes too Overall it was good, just a little pricy for what I got."
"Their coffee and Latte's put Starbucks to shame which is a tall order. I'm not a breakfast person but their breakfast burrito is amazing! Employees are great and the place is always clean. They stay busy but I've always been able to get a table! It's a great cafe and we should all support our amazing local businesses."
"When I tell you I love Cordelia's - I absolutely love Cordelia's. I am living temporarily in Memphis and this place has brought me a ton of sunshine during my stay here. The cafe is outstanding. My personal faves are the Valerie's or Chris' sandwiches. I mean DELICIOUS. Definitely choose the voodoo chips! I will miss those dearly when I leave the south. The classic breakfast sandwich is also up there in deliciousness. The customer service is always top notch and I'm happy to spend some money here. For the grocery section, my only complaint is that because it's a small grocery store the product turnover can be slow. Several times I've purchased items forgetting to check the expiration date and got home to realize things expired in a couple of days and before I'd really use them. I also purchased a pack of meat and when I was getting ready to cook it for dinner, I saw it was completely brown and rotten even though it was before the expiration date. I called in and they were apologetic and said I could bring the meat back but I live 20-25 minutes away and haven't been able to come back since. So I'm just out of that money unfortunately.Now keeping that in mind, this place is so well stocked for such a small grocery store! They have everything I'd ever need here (and more) and the prices are so reasonable. I love their chicken salads and definitely recommend giving those a try. The butcher meat is also super fresh. I got a couple of ribeyes from the butcher that were amongst the best I've ever had.All in all, please support this local business!"
"Amazing sandwiches (I only had one actually, but really wish I could have tried more). I had The Poorest of Boys, and it was enough to let me know that they have mastered the panini press. The sandwich was hearty, and as someone who never looks to go out for sandwiches, had me considering driving from Arrington to Columbia again, but I didn't have time. :( The daily soup I got as a side was amazing too. Tastes very homemade, and I would be shocked if there was any significant processing behind them. Owners and all the employees were super friendly. Plenty of counter bar seating in addition to small tables and some booths. As someone visiting from California, I would consider this a must eat on my next trip."
"From the outside, it doesn't look great and is kind of in a remote part of the city. But don't be fooled by outside appearances, this place is amazing.It's quick, cheap, good fast Chinese food. I've been going to Yang's for almost a decade, and it's always been consistently good with no frills or gimmicks. Most recently, I got three combo meals (lo mein, general tso's, and veggies) and they all came with rice and egg rolls. It totaled to less than $30. And we had plenty of left overs. They do have their own parking space and room to eat inside."
"Tasty filling BBQ chicken potato with extra white sauce. Turtle cheese cake,with great customer service. Definitely wanna return to visit. I highly recommend."

Absolutely amazing authentic Mexican food. Texas is my home and this please is right up with the best joints in south Texas and across the border. Will be back over and over again when in Memphis! Ordered the De Oreja de Elefante tacos. With the chile torreado peppers and pickled jalapeños----- amazing combination. Definitely recommend. The founders son greeted us and explained everything in detail. Very helpful.

The regulars made the experience! Love a dive bar and this did not disappoint. Good bar food. Don't skip the mozzarella sticks. Or the fries. Will report back in a few weeks on the sandwiches. So far it is only good vibes.

Love this spot! The turkey burger is the best in the city! You can easily order online, by phone, or in the restaurant with speedy service. It's so easy to just get in and out whether you're ordering to go or eating in their very chill dining room.

Solid lunch spot if you're a fan of deli sandwiches. I haven't had a bad sandwich here yet. Come back at night if you're looking for more of a bar scene.

Perfect Sunday afternoon lunch spot! Franklin Mercantile Deli is the cutest "order at the counter" breakfast or lunch spot conveniently located just off of Main Street. The service is prompt and the food is tasty! We had the smoked turkey panini and the chicken club panini. The chicken was a little bit dry, but the red onions and mustard helped add flavor. The turkey panini was indulgent! I would come back again just for it! We had a fruit cup side and potato salad! The fruit was perfectly ripe and the potato salad was flavorful. There are a few outdoor tables, and plenty of places to dine inside.

Everything is good. My favorites are the lox and bagel.... Best ever. The French toast is off the charts and then when you need to scale back the calories, the Strawberry/chicken salad is delicious. They usually offer daily specials and those are also always delicious- there is a quesadilla they make regularly-get it when you can! Follow themOn social for updates!

Fire fire fire. I am always getting the breakfast burrito. The chorizo as the protein will give you a texture as well as a flavor that is soo good!! The chopped cheese is better than any in Nashville. And if you want a classic turkey sandwitch you can't go wrong.

"Food was great and customer service was phenomenal. Location downtown is also nice. Not many places to eat on that end. Will definitely be back!"
"For 3 years in a row now we have ordered catering from this restaurant for my little girl's birthday. Service is great, the food is great, and the order is always perfect, and the driver is always on time. This time, the driver was even thoughtful enough to bring a gift to my daughter! I've never had a delivery driver do that ever. Wonderful service and wonderful food. Imagine cooking for 20-30 people at noon on a hot July day. You're hot, you're busy, you can't enjoy yourself or your company. Jason's Deli is the way to go! The perfect solution to a party. And those beef eater sliders are a hit!"
"I hadn't been to Jason's Deli in a while. I was the neighborhood and decided to stop in for a late lunch. I had the half and half that comes with chicken ranchero wrap and spicy tortilla soup. The wrap was really good. It had all of the works including corn, black beans, chicken, pico de gallo, and ranch dressing. The soup was ok. It didn't have much flavor to it. I would like to go back and try other menu items."
"One of my favorite restaurants in Columbia!!Yummy food, good value and great service!We enjoyed the cheeseburger, grilled chicken sandwich and BLT! Tater tots, curly fries and sweet potato fries were yummy too... we ate every one of them Service is great... the lady at the register brought our food and checked on us. Restrooms and dining area were clean.We will be back!!"
"Tasty, fresh sandwiches; slow service. We visited on a Wednesday for lunch around noon. It is a small space. There is a counter inside where you could eat, but I think it might be a little awkward given the close quarters. There are also outside tables on the side walk, which would be ideal in the warmer months. However, if it is cooler, I recommend ordering and taking it to go. I would also recommend calling ahead given the wait. I'm not sure why, but all the sandwiches are named after Tom Cruise's movies. There were a lot of nice options. I appreciated that the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and there was a nice ratio of meat to toppings. They also have an impressive variety of gourmet sauces that add a special "something something" to the sandwiches. The staff works hard and engages in light conversation to keep you entertained while you wait."
"Their subs are always very fresh and tasty. The steaks is fantastic. Italian sun is loaded with great meats. Staff is ALWAYS friendly and quick."
"My favorite sandwich shop.I decided to try something new today, the #10 Tuna Sub. I found this to be the worst choice!!! Someone else may like it but l was terribly disappointed. (I think they put the Tuna in a food processor)OMG it was disgusting. I shall return but l will NEVER order the #10!!"
"Took my friend visiting from out of town to Firehouse subs. I had a hook and ladder. The sandwich was very good. Service was pleasant as well. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get a pickle when ordering a medium sub. Also missing the hot sauces, I always would use the mango habanero one on the hook and ladder and it was delicious."
"I got the shrimp salad sandwich on sourdough with all the veggie toppings. I was surprised by how little shrimp salad there was. It was mainly all toppings which thankfully seemed fresh (besides the tomatoes). The flavor was good but would be better if there was more of it to enjoy. It was slightly salty but that helped add flavor to all of the veggies. I wouldn't go out of my way to get this again, but it was a quick and healthy-ish lunch to grab. I called in my order and was able to easily get it upon arrival. I can't say much about the service or ambiance since I was in and out, but it was definitely crowded! I feel like for what I got, it was a bit of a high price tag."
"Looks and tastes like a basic NYC pizza joint. Thin crust, light sauce that was a bit on the sweet side, a scattering of pepperoni, and cheese. Fast, cheap, and hot. I've eaten more than my share of NY pizza, and this place is a solid option if you're looking for a fast and cheap bite to eat!"
"I really love Amsterdam Deli, one of my go to's in Tupelo ... I'm always recommending it. However tonight was disappointing and unfortunately it was a to-go order. I had the hummus and pita with chicken schwarma, my usual, but the pita was either stale or over baked. It's hard and crunchy which I really don't prefer. For the price I think they should have caught that and given me fresh pita."
"The service was fine. The food tastes fine. My issue is the skimpy sandwiches. I got a French dip. I posted a pic. I am no expecting a big pile of meat overflowing the bun so I do expect more that 2 little thin slices of meat. It make it a La Croix of sandwiches. It's like a couple pieces of bread drove by a cow once. Meat-ish flavored. Y'all can do better."
"I like Firehouse Subs ! The subs are hot, full of meat, fully dressed, the bread is perfect. It takes approximately 10 min to get your order, but they produce a very good sandwich !"
"This place is probably my new favorite sandwich chain. They are fast, and friendly. The guy behind the counter took our order, and bashed out the subs as quick as he could, along with 6 other subs! He's like a sandwich machine. The amount of meat they put on a sub makes them well worth more than any other sub chain! The meat is also thinly sliced fresh to order, which makes it soft and melt in your mouth! I prefer cold subs, and their cold cuts are of good quality. They dress them "mikes way" which is onion, lettuce, tomato, oil & vinegar."
"Really good pizza and sides. If you're looking for something more authentic NY style pizza in midtown, this is the place to go."
"This location is part of a strip mall.The line was short and the customer service was great. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and it was great. Took about 5 minutes. I could have gotten more toppings but I didn't want the sandwich to be too sloppy."
"Always have great service when I visit. They give you a warm welcome to Firehouse greeting"
"Bad it was good couldn't believe it but it was hot and good and I'm from St. Louis love it......."
"When I am at one of my schools, we usually order from this location. I like that they deliver as sometimes it is hard to leave the school to get lunch. Food is usually delivered quickly and our orders have always been spot on. Their sandwiches taste pretty good as well. I usually order the ##4 Turkey Tom, which comes with turkey breast, lettuce, tomato and mayo. Sometimes I add bacon for an additional charge."
"Firehouse is my go to for a salad with the fixins. I've never been let down. I get the hook and ladder salad with peppercorn ranch. It never seems to make it to my camera roll though because I dig in as soon as I get it. Even my non salad eating kid likes it."
"Munchy's has always been a Jonesboro and Astate favorite!!! This simple little sub shop figured out early how to please broke hungry college kids. Their subs are simple, but consistently delicious! My order (every time):Regular veggie sub on wheat, cheese sticks (thank me later)Heathbar Crunch cookie-if that have sold outJonesboro is in a dry county, so no beer at Munchy's"
"This deli serves up delicious sandwiches, soups and salads. You order at the counter but they bring you your food and anything else that you want. My sandwich was huge, hot and delicious!"
