a white car parked in front of a restaurant
Cynthia R.

Customer service was great, young lady behind the counter was very friendly. I got the Philly and wing combo, food was just ok for me. Wings real tiny and the sandwich was decent. Didn't really like the garlic parm sauce on my wings, I think would be better if was a dry rub. All in all I'd go back because they have other items I'd try.

Fried chicken salad

American Deli is an ok place to eat if you're on a budget and not looking for amazing food. It is just ok. I was baffled that you can get a wings to make a combo with just about all menu items. So, I did just that with a fried chicken salad (I know, I know...greedy). The salad is purely Romaine lettuce. There's nothing really nutritional about it, but at least you're hydrating. The wings are small. Which is better than being too big, I suppose - because oversized wings scare me. I also ordered a side of fries because you could choose whether you wanted them crispy or soft. I chose crispy. They were soft. I think I might have a better time getting a sandwich or gyro if I go again. But, try it for yourself and decide.

Small wings

I used to eat at American Deli all the time when I lived in Atlanta but I went to this location and got the smallest wings I've ever seen. If you go ask for the large wings so they don't accidentally give you the mini ones.

Shrimp fried rice and crinkle fries.
Dawn R.

Ok, I'm completely sold on this place. My first time here I got the Philly cheese steak combo that came with fries and chicken wings for $12. It was a lot of food and I got 2 meals out of it. The fries are honestly probably the best crinkle fries I have ever had. They are thinner and crisper than others I've had. The chicken wings were good & crispy but a bit smaller than normal. They have 9 different flavors of wings and there are 5 wings inside the combo which comes with a drink included. I got the sweet chili flavor and they were great ! The sandwich was also good. I got the chocolate silk pie for $2.50. It was small but very chocolatey. While there, I noticed they had shrimp fried rice. With a name like American Deli, that surprised me so I decided to come back the next week. Yes, the shrimp fried rice was really good. It had corn, peas, and carrots along with an excellent flavor and not too greasy for about $7. Of course, I had to add on an order of those excellent fries. I had enough food to make another meal again. The cashiers were also very nice both times I visited. Definitely going to make this place one of my regular lunch places.

This place made me LOVE Philly cheesesteaks. I never liked them (even when I was actually in…read morePhilly) until I came here. Now I'm obsessed. Absolutely incredible. The owner was also incredibly sweet and took the time to talk with us about how the team went to Philly and did so much research before opening this place. You can truly taste the care and effort that went into it! The prices are more than worth it in my opinion , and every time we're in Charlotte, this is a must stop for us. Mouthwatering, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth any wait. I honestly wish they'd open one in Raleigh because we'd be there every single week. This place is officially a staple for us, and I cannot rave about these cheesesteaks enough. Thank you for serving the community and honestly don't listen to any review that isn't 5 stars.

Update: Mgmnt has reached out to offer a full refund. I was very impressed at how quickly and…read moregraciously they not only messaged me to apologize, but also that they offered to refund based on the situation. While it was not a great first impression, I will be willing to give this place a second chance based on the follow-up alone! In times where customer courtesy and being a customer-conscientious business seems to have fallen to the wayside of pure profit and capitalism, I have to give full kudos as to how quickly and kindly this situation was handled. Well done and thank you for making me feel seen, heard, and valued!!! Just goes to show, voicing your experiences on these kinds of platforms can result in action :)

LRookie mistake 101: never go to Popeyes when you're hangry and assume everything is going to…read moremagically work itself out. I was craving breaded wings -- not the super wet vinegar-heavy style that's popular around here -- so I thought Popeyes would hit the spot. I ordered the 12 wings combo, half plain and half garlic parm. Unfortunately, it was really disappointing. The wings tasted like they'd been sitting out way too long, and the garlic parm seasoning was so salty it was borderline inedible. I also ordered large combo sides and somehow ended up with what looked like small portions of red beans and rice and mashed potatoes instead. To make matters worse, I submitted feedback through the Popeyes website afterward and never heard back. The employee at the drive-thru window was friendly, so no complaints there, but this location really needs better quality control and order accuracy. And yes, this is your reminder to always check the bag before you drive away -- uncomfortable or not. Charlotte has burned me too many times on takeout roulette. Thankfully, I had Marie's blue cheese waiting at home to help salvage the situation. Charlotte, there's a big delicious world out there. Learn from my rookie mistake and inspect the bag before you pull off.

The staff is incompetent and ghetto. I placed my order through the Popeyes app and I have both the…read morereceipt and photo evidence. I was instructed to park near the front door and waited for 25 minutes with no update and no food. I then reversed back to the drive‑through window, where I was handed cold chicken, cold shrimp, two biscuits, and two sides. My order includes three sides. I also did not receive the drink for my chicken tender meal. No one apologized or acknowledged the delay, the incorrect items, or the condition of the food. There were three employees at the window, including someone who appeared to be a manager, but the interaction was disorganized and unhelpful. I was then told to park again, which would have resulted in another long wait.

As a West Coast transplant now living in Charlotte, I have very specific standards when it comes to…read moreburgers. For me, the gold standard isn't fancy -- it's balance. Think that perfect meat-cheese-bread ratio you get at an In-N-Out: not too big, not too messy, not dripping everywhere, but still juicy and satisfying. A burger you can actually pick up and enjoy without resorting to a knife and fork like George Costanza. That's why I appreciate Ace No. 3. Their menu is refreshingly simple -- burgers, fries, shakes -- and that simplicity tells me they know exactly what they do well. Everything is made to order, and the consistency shows. The Ace burger is my go-to, and it delivers every time. The shoestring fries are excellent, and the sweet potato tots are another favorite. I've also treated myself to a milkshake here and there, and they're worth it. Fun bonus: they offer "boozy shakes" for adults, which adds a playful twist -- just note they have to be enjoyed on site. They also keep a short, rotating list of beers, which I appreciate. It's curated, not overwhelming. One thing I noticed recently -- and as a fellow marketer, I have to applaud this -- is their milkshake happy hour from 2-4 PM. That's a smart strategy to drive traffic during slower hours between lunch and dinner. Simple, effective, and well executed. A few practical notes: Parking can be a little tight because the lot behind the restaurant is small, but if you go during off-peak hours or order ahead for pickup, it's manageable. The Belmont neighborhood location is easy to get in and out of, and while it's not a high-traffic pedestrian area, that can actually work in your favor. Bottom line: As someone who grew up with West Coast burger culture, this is the closest I've found in Charlotte to that classic, satisfying bite -- even if it costs a bit more than In-N-Out. The quality and execution make it worth it. Get out there, eat well, be curious -- and follow me as I continue eating my way through Charlotte.

The sauce and the meat are insanely good! I personally think it beats Five Guys to make a…read morecomparison. The fries are crispy like Rally's style almost. The onion rings are okay. I really enjoyed though. Staff does the functional, Harriet's Burgers the service is more exceptional. Lastly place was relatively clean.
