    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.

    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.

    We didn't realize until we were already seated and enjoying the vibe that it was black owned so…read morethat's a plus. We had a reservation and seated promptly. The waitress recommended the mimosa carafe since we were both ordering mimosas. They have the juice and champagne separate, and it's more than enough champagne. We were given more juice, too. We ordered the omelette. I added onions, peppers, smoked Gouda, and bacon to it. The Gouda set it off. It was delicious but could use more cheese on top or something. TN potatoes were flavorful and crispy enough. The toast was standard. My fiancé ordered the WWIII with chicken thigh. The waffle was okay. Nothing special, and the chicken was seasoned almost too much but was pretty good. Both paired well with the syrup. The music was great. Explicit but it was like they took my Spotify playlist and put in on the speaker. The waitress was fine. Wish she would've told us how much the mimosa carafe cost when she suggested it, but it was worth it. If we are in town again, we may go back.

    My family and I really enjoyed Uptown Yolk! The wait was a little longer than we expected, but once…read morewe were seated and our food came out, it was absolutely worth it. I had the sweet potato waffle, and it was so good! The rest of my family ordered more traditional breakfast items, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the service was great once we got started. I'd definitely recommend Uptown Yolk if you're looking for a solid breakfast spot. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during busy times, it was worth it for us!

    My first introduction to Pollo Campero wasn't in Charlotte. It was back in 2001 when I worked at…read moreHouston's international terminal. Flights from Guatemala would arrive, and passengers would walk off the plane carrying bags of Pollo Campero. The aroma was unforgettable. Ever since then, I've been curious about what made this chicken so special. Fast forward to Charlotte, and now I finally understand the hype. I stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the four-piece roasted chicken meal with sweet plantains, coleslaw, and a roll. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The chicken was juicy and packed with spices that set it apart from your typical fast-food chicken chain. It's hard to explain until you try it, but the seasoning has a distinctive flavor that makes Pollo Campero uniquely its own. The sweet plantains were excellent. Soft, caramelized, and sweet with those slightly crispy edges that make plantains so addictive. The coleslaw was cold, creamy, and crunchy, which paired perfectly with the chicken. The service was friendly, the value was excellent, and my order was accurate. I always take a moment to check my order before leaving the drive-thru, and everything was exactly right. If your fried chicken experience begins and ends with KFC, Bojangles, or Church's, give Pollo Campero a try. It's a delicious taste of Guatemala and a reminder that great chicken comes in many forms. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte.

    Charlotte is a fried chicken city. Aside from being the headquarters for Bojangles, we've got…read moreoutlets for all the big chains - KFC, Church's, Popeye's and such. Several excellent local restaurants, too. So I had high hopes today for Pollo Campero. PC was clean when I arrived at 12:30. Quite busy with about a third of the tables in use and the remaining were clear of dirty dishes. Surprising because they don't have a trash can that I could see - the staff bus and clean tables, clearing them swiftly. I ordered a three piece at the counter and it didn't take long until a running found my tent card and I was able to start. The chicken was thoroughly cooked, still moist. Not much for flavor in the skin today, it needed some hot sauce to bring out the taste. The cole slaw was creamy and crisp. Still good but also a little bland. The small dinner roll wrapped in plastic was fresh and fluffy. Overall, it's a nice little fast food spot. If you're looking for something in a known quantity along South Boulevard near the light rail, this will work nicely. [Review 728 of 2025 - 4162 in North Carolina - 24288 overall]

    okay, here's the thing: Weck! ...for beef…read more ...and friendly service - barkeep even went looking for brandy! (didn't find any but she went a lookin' (because sidecars!) and even had a sad face when she broke the news) so I went with a draft cider instead. didn't ever get abandoned or ignored during my visit, guess it helps I was sitting at the bar ...and food is hot and fresh and tasty. pair o' brisket dogs on lightly toasted buns with seasonal fries. solid sausages that stick out the end of the bun with chopped onions and ample bacon bits and a dash of barbeque sauce to accent the meats, not overpower 'em ...and Buffalo Bills stuff everywhere!! including the folks at the bar who will yap a little too :-) gotta love the other side of neueve yorque! (...it's the right side (which is on the left side)) assembled a deconstructed beef on weck for lunch monday and it mostly worked. seriously though, it's never gonna come out quite how God intended because it's supposed to be eaten hot out of the kitchen but I've been doing this long enough to do the math backwards and this started out as a very good sammich for having sauced horseradishes not the zippier proofed stuff.

    Fries (4/5): I love battered fries so these were just the way I like them…read more Phatty Melt (4/5): Pretty good melt, but needed more cheese. The bread was also a bit under toasted and too soggy. The patties were decent and I liked the sauce. Gleezy BBQ Bacon Hot Dog (3/5): Mediocre hot dog in a cheap, store bought bun. It needed more onions and the BBQ sauce wasn't my favorite. Onion Rings (3/5): Not great. The breading wasn't crunchy enough and I didn't like how wet the onion was. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)
