“Really enjoy this deli. Never had a bad meal, it is all good. Eat here every time I am in Homewood. Good food and service.”
— Gregory Sanders“Love the food and service! The plastic reusable cups they give out are great for using around the house and when you're out in the yard. Love going here whenever I'm by one. It's too bad they closed the one in Alabaster, we use to go all the time.”
— Kyle Flanegan“The food is always so good here but the restaurant is always dirty. We came in around 3:45pm and were the only ones in the restaurant with 3 people working. Someone could have been cleaning up. This place is in a prime location and in one of the nicest parts of Birmingham - it should look better for customers.”
— Emma W“07/12/25 Saturday about 6:45pm - This would be 3-stars but it's just too dirty in there. The staff was friendly, took and presented my order well. That was the best part. After I placed my order I went to the bathroom. The only clean areas were the toiletseat and inside the toilet bowl. The bathroom was as dirty as an old gas station bathroom. The sink has not been washed out. It had built up dirt in it, The walls, baseboards, and around the toilet base were FILTY. After I walked out of the bathroom, I found a table around the corner from the soda fountain. As I passed the soda fountain, I noticed that the floor was not sticky, so that was good. The corner I sat in had a two-seater table and a hole in the wall behind it. I looked down the floor alongside the wall, was visibly dirty and the baseboards all along that area, right around to the storefront window, were fifty. I got up to go wait by the counter for my food and paid closer attention to the condiments station, as it sat with the soda fountain, that seemed clean enough. While waiting for my sandwich, I noticed the visible disrepair of the back kitchen door (white with black dirt going up the lower quarter). My sandwich was hot pastrami and provolone, with lettuce and tomatoes, deli mustard, on a white hoagie, It was flat like a panini with little lettuce and tomatoes. This shop needs a day off to clean it from top to bottom.”
