The restaurant was clean, stocked, and the vibe was exactly what you want when you're craving good, reliable comfort food. If you're looking for wings, subs, or just something satisfying and quick, American Deli is definitely a go-to. They also allowed me to create a flavor which was a plus for service. I'll be back for sure! read more

Stopped in here looking for a quick lunch, but it took awhile. I've never been to American Deli before and was surprised by the selection. Philly cheesesteaks, wings, and fried rice? I ultimately ended up with the gyro because I was feeling something on the lighter side. It tasted as well as I expected, wasn't bad wasn't great. It filled me up for cheap, and had 3 large portions of "gyro" meat. It was lacking a little flavor. On my way out I did see someone with a heaping pile of fried rice that looked really good so I think I'll opt for that next time! read more

American Deli - Gyro meat - gyro - Burgers Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

It was okay. We had one of these at the mall where I grew up in Tuscaloosa. Never tried it then but felt like trying it here. Gyro was mostly lettuce and not standard gyro meat but thin slices. Don't expect middle eastern quality unless it is middle eastern owned I guess. Wings were small, fries standard. Peach drink was super yummy. All in all pretty standard and basic. If you're gonna order something from here. Order the lemon pepper dry rub wings and peach punch. read more

Please count your chicken before you leave this restaurant. They will short you on wings & charge you for anything more that you want. The chicken is getting smaller & the service is beginning to become Awful. Food is expensive I want what I pay for! read more

I was very disappointed in the food. I had the wings. I think the grease should have been changed. Very overpriced for the quality. But I was with a friend who loved her sandwich though but still overpriced. read more

I've always loved American Deli and have supported this location since it came to Grove years back. But lately, I've been a bit ill with the quantity of the food against the increase in prices. Now each of these locations operate independently of the other so prices, quality and portions vary. This visit, I got the chicken Philly with 5 wings and added fries. Totaled around $15. Not bad... but there was barely any chicken on my Philly. It was fully of tiny peppers and onions. Also their Philly used to come loaded with mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles... now it's $.50 per topping to add. On to wings, this time I tried wet lemon pepper and garlic parmesean. I was not a fan of either. The wet LP tasted like it was just drenched in a store bought LP marinade. The GP tasted like it was coated in Ceasar dressing. Also the wings were tiny. I don't need duck wings but I don't want sparrow wings either. Henceforth, I'll stick to mild Xtra wet wings and a side salad. My sis got the salad and it looked great. Note: They still have some of the best salads around... lots of toppings, fresh at a great price. American Deli at the Grove... do better, but I'll be back. read more

A coworker told me about this place and we decided to go one day for lunch. I will start by saying we had to wait in line for quite sometime because they were busy and crowded. We got ours to go and headed back to the office. The wet lemon pepper were good but they were coated in so much sauce it was a little too much. Overall, I will say the wings were really good. Best I have ever had? No but I will definitely go back here. read more

American Deli - Burgers Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

This is place has the best wings in the city! Not too big not too small and wet with sauce just like I like them! I usually get mild or medium but I completely forgot how bomb their salads are so I got a fried chicken tender salad that absolutely SMACKED!! Highly recommend you try them for yourself! Side note the salad comes with 2dressings which are small so be prepared to pay for extra sorry no pic this time it was devoured before I could snap it lol read more

Let me tell you how good their wings are y'all! I've eaten here several times in the last couple weeks, but I don't have any pictures of the glorious wings because I demolish them! They are so good that taking a picture flys out the window when I pop open the styrofoam container to dig in. I suggest calling in your order because they can get busy. When I call in my order, my food is ready by the time I get there so I have no complaints about the service. I have never dined in, but the restaurant is clean and the employees are friendly. I know they sell more than chicken wings, but that's all I get from here with the exception of fries. I highly suggest you try their hot wigs with a side of wet lemon pepper sauce or their wet lemon pepper wings. Another thing I really like about this place is that they actually fry my wings extra crispy when I request they be extra crispy. That means a lot to me! read more

American Deli - Waiting in line to pick up my order - Burgers Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

I'll keep this short and sweet...I love and miss you. See you next time I'm in the 205. Philly Wing Combo Medium Lemon Pepper, Peach Drink.....can't wait for those words to come off my lips again. read more

Food was cold and they refused to remake my order. Don't go there if you want any kind of customer service!!

We were in the area and decide to give this place try. It's part of a block of stores in the parking lot of Target on 150. This is a nice area and has great potential with already a few other restaurants. I also see that a new Chickee FilaYee (how my daughters pronounce) is being built nearby. Their interior is very simple. 4 tables with chairs and 2 booths against the wall. You walk up to a counter where there is a large menu on the wall behind the counter. You order, pay and go sit and wait for your name to be called. Their menu is a simple list of varied items. They have gyro with lamb, beef or chicken, fried tilapia or whiting, rueben, philly cheesteak, chicken fingers, wings, even fried shrimp. I originally ordered the gyro but they were out of lamb so I switched to their fried Tilapia combo with fries. My daughter got the chicken fingers kid meal. Their prices were reasonable because my $8 tilapia combo also came with a drink. My tilapia was breaded and then fried. There was nothing spectacular about the fish, but I got 2 decent sized filets, 2 slices of white bread and a small containter of tartar sauce. The fries were average as well. My daughter thought the chicken fingers were edible since she was hungry. We arrived in middle of lunch time and there were about 8 other people in the place. They were timely and we didn't have to wait very long at all for our food. I'm not sure how the gyro would've tasted or the other items on their menu, but I wasn't impressed with what we had. read more

Outstanding service and the wings are a five star all day! They have really stepped up their game since I last visited some two years ago! read more

The wings taste great, but they are the miniature size now. I know of another restaurant that had the miniature size wings, but they gave you more to compensate for the small size. This location is serving these tiny wings for the same price as if it's what you've always been getting. read more

Food is consistently good. Been eating at American Deli since they were in the old Century Mall back in the early 2000's. Only problem I have had is that post COVID the wings are pretty tiny. Whoever they have feeding those chickens needs to be fired haha. Otherwise great service, friendly staff, and good food. Get the Cajun ranch fries for an extra good time. read more

This is my all time favorite wing spot. Coming from Atlanta, American Deli is a staple in my diet. The food consistently tastes like the American Deli back home, which is great because American Deli was founded in Atlanta. The restaurant is always clean and the workers are always friendly. I never eat in the restaurant, but there is seating for about 10-15 people. Food is always made to order. I typically call ahead and the order is typically done within five minutes of arrival. However, sometimes you still have to wait longer. American Deli is known for their wings, but they also have subs, salads, philly cheese steaks, and fries. I recommend a 10 pc hot with lemon pepper sprinkles, extra hot sauce. read more

American Deli - Burgers Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

I'd give this restaurant 0 stars if I was able to. They brag about how good their wings are! They were the smallest, saddest wings I've ever seen. They literally had some pieces that were just bones. Even better than that is how expensive these wings are! But that's okay, that wasn't the worst part. The philly sandwich was equally as disappointing. And the salad. Nothing quite as bad as spending $80 on food that was not only NOT enjoyable, but then having to turn around and find something else to eat because you in NO WAY get what you pay for. I'll never eat here again, and I highly recommend no one else does either. Please enjoy the pictures of their food, and see for yourself. read more

American Deli - The best American deli location. Always quick and friendly. No complaints ever. I would come to this location at least 2x a week. - Burgers Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

Love American Deli but the one in Hoover, Al is about to lose my business. Food is good but the manager/owner and workers can be rube at times. I ask for an extra hot sauce and it water down or a different sauce. It almost look like something else was done to it. We are paying and regular customers and they don't even care. read more

My husband and I order from American Deli often. I usually order the 10 piece wing meal with mild lemon pepper seasoning. They are some of the best wings I have had. I have also often purchased the chicken philly (without mushrooms) and it is one of the best Phillies I have had as well. I have visited other pricier establishments and their wings not philly can touch American Deli's. read more

Get the Cajuns ranch cheese fries ! And wings make sure you tell them "everything fried hard "

If you want food poisoning, go here. Not worth what you pay. Bare minimum on costumer service. Won't be going backs

I've eaten here three times in the last week and I've had the wings every time. Wings have great flavor and I like their sauces. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is that the wings are very small. They are especially too small for what they charge. Service is very good and the staff is friendly. read more

Really sorry Reuben. Chopped up pieces of meat, a tblspn of kraut, and a pice of ? cheese. I was in there a couple of months ago and ordered the same thing Noticed that the personnel appear to be different, so asked and was told that the speaker had just purchase it. When I told him the problem all he could say was "So sorry!" I instructed him on the proper way to prepare a Reuben at that time. Back today, and it was the same piece of @#$%^%. Again, no offer of a refund, just the same "So sorry! I live close by and could be a regular customer. BAD FOOD, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WILL NOT RETURN.. read more

I went in today in the midst of holiday scoping and shopping just feeling the bottom of my stomach yearning for substance. I stopped in here after over a year of looking it over or wondering how decent this place is. I walked in and exchanged greetings and asked for the most popular thing on the menu - "everything." They easily recommended what I believe was the number 8: a Philly cheesesteak and a handful of wings and a drink for roughly $10. If you're getting a Philly cheesesteak, don't concern yourself with the cost unless it's TOO cheap because you want high quality steak on your sandwich. I didn't know what wing flavor to get, and I'm that basic consumer who always sticks with the flavor I've always gotten, but the cook recommended lemon pepper when I was prompted to pick a flavor. I'm a BBQ woman typically, lemon pepper is good when I'm in the mood though. I go with the flow and watch the cooks take genuine care making the food. That alone was impressive! They handed me my to go box and I opened it up and tried a bite of the steak, juicy and flavorful and delicious! I applauded the cook and thanked him for his care. I tried the lemon pepper wings and they were literally crispy to perfection- juicy and tangy and sweet! I applauded the second cook and thanked her for her recommendation. Really really impressed by this little hole in the wall. Go there. Get the Philly cheesesteak. Get the wings. I'm typically a Philly chicken woman too, but this steak is worth it! I will ABSOLUTELY be back for more deliciousness! read more

Paid over $30 for two orders and received the wrong orders! American deli refuses to remake our order and the manager states that is our problem. What piss poor customer service from a restaurant that needs customers to stay in business! read more

If I could give it zero stars, I would. I don't usually leave reviews unless absolutely necessary. However, this was the worst experience that I've ever received at any establishment. I can only eat fried chicken cooked a certain way, otherwise it will make me nauseous or sick. I have always, at any American-Deli, ordered 10 piece combo cooked extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra hard. Upon receiving my order, it was not cooked hard enough and I asked them to cook it longer. The manager got upset regarding the request but he took the order back to cook it longer. About five or ten minutes later, my order was ready and it was satisfactory but could have cooked longer. I accepted the order but the manager instructed me that they could not cook my chicken that way, holding up a fryer basket just for my order. So I told him that in order words that he was refusing to serve me and cooking my food the way that I want it. My daughter came up and said that they should have declined the order over the phone. He said that I should have called it in, I stated that I did call the order in. I will NOT be eating at this location any longer. read more

First time here! I got the 20 wing combo. You can choose more than one type of sauce, which is a plus if your sharing. The fries were good as well, especially with the fry seasoning. I would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

Very good wings, plenty of flavors to chose from. Love the ranch fries here!

Ran in here for quick bite as I was late for an appointment. I ordered the gyro as it seemed to be the only relatively 'healthy" item on the menu. The guy behind the counter seemed to be in a huge hurry and almost on autopilot. He quickly tapped on the cash register and handed me my drink without even so much as a thank you. The fries were bland and undercooked and the gyro was less than average. Can't say that I'll be back. read more

The food is ok. The onion rings were less than to be desired. They were made of pressed onion pieces. Husband's Reuben was ok. It was weird that the meat was chopped into small squares. I had the philly steak. It was ok, but needed more meat. Lemonade was really good--had a good tsar and not to sour or sweet. read more

The wings are horrible, they are flash fried. No flavor and to top it off, they sprinkle the season on top of the chicken when you check your order. Not prepared the traditional way. Stay clear!! read more

Wings were deep fried and greasy with a ton of sauce squirted on top. Would not recommend.

This was the sorriest excuse for a gyro I have ever had in all my 30 years on planet earth. When I walked in I was wondering why they had zero customers. After eating my "food" i was left wondering how is this place still open? Then I found out it has several locations. Do these people not have taste buds? Awful is not a strong enough word to describe what I just ate. They should be ashamed of themselves. Horrendous!!! read more

We stopped in while waiting for our dog to be groomed. It was our 1st time and the food was really good. I had the Philly steak with fries and my husband had the Reuben with fries. Both sandwiches were delicious and the fries were absolutely the best. Not greasy at all, good and crisp. Service good too. Will eat there again. read more

My family stops in from time to time for the Philly Cheese Steaks and wings. Always a pleasure...always good food.
