Grilled Chicken Salad
Bjorn M.

My go to lunch spot when I don't know exactly what I have a taste for. I've had just about everything from here. The loaded salads, crispy chicken sandwich and the pick two platter (tenders and baby shrimp) are my favs. I always do take out but they do have a few tables if you prefer to dine in. Service is pretty fast and the food always comes out piping hot.

Crispy Chicken Salad

I ordered Big Apple Deli through our food delivery service at work. The crispy chicken salad with chicken tossed in Hot Honey sauce was delicious! The lettuce and other veggies were crispy and tasted really fresh. Their GOOD RANCH brought everything together. I also enjoyed the blue cheese dressing. They give you a ton of dressing with your salad, I actually had some leftover so you probably won't need to pay for the extra cup. I'll try more menu items next time I see them come across the lunch delivery service! Tasty.

Crispy chicken salad

I love trying small delis around the city and this deli is definitely a must try! The food is great! I ordered a crispy chicken salad and it was full! The service is friendly and patient! The inside is a typical deli style restaurant! I highly recommend this place for a quick lunch during the work day!

IT IS NOT A CHINSTRAP/DIAPER

GUY PREPARING FOOD WAS NOT WEARING A MASK!!! It's not a chin strap/Diaper..... WEAR IT CORRECTLY WHEN PREPARING FOOD!!! Sandwich was very good. 5 stars otherwise - but I like staying alive after eating. Don't make me sick from your laziness.

6 wings tangy gold
Ashley R.

After reading a post on Facebook about one of the best cheesesteak places in Charlotte my boyfriend and I had to give this a try. So we ended up coming for a late lunch not to many people in there but was happy that everyone was wearing a mask and was practicing social distancing. We ordered 6 wings, a cheesesteak add Mayo, and a double cheeseburger pita. The wings were fantastic meaty and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend loved his cheeseburger pita! On the other hand I was not impressed with the cheesesteak the meat lacked seasoning and I ordered it with grilled onions and there weren't any on there but they were happy to make us some so I could add them on there. But everyone was friendly will def be coming back to trying something new!! P.S.- If you order ranch they charge you .55 for each dressing.

Turkey Burger Special
Sedana N.

So have eaten here several times! The turkey burger is good special for lunch. I've also had a lamb gyro and a chicken lunch special which was good! I also have had the chicken Philly which is BOMB, just order the oil and vinegar on the side so your sandwich is not soggy! Great affordable lunch spot!!

Y'all about a GREAT HOT DOG, FRIES, and a DRINK for $8.00! Last week I tried Big Apple Deli for the first time in the shopping center on the corner of arrowwood and notions Ford. A place I've seen for years, never really thought about trying it. But my mom was craving a hot dog, and I sorta was too and she mentioned how great their hot dogs were. So our entire family met at this place after work with the kids for a random Thursday night dinner. Everyone ordered hotdogs and Friday except the kids. They ordered baby shrimp and fries but everything was great. The service was quick, restaurant was clean and even the cook area was clean. Usually in places like this the cleanliness isn't always that great but this wasn't the case for the Big Apple Deli. Plus their menu was very large! So many options to choose from. I would certainly recommend everyone giving this place a try for sure!

First time ordering (Postmates) from them and everything tasted really great! I just got a turkey sub, added and removed a few items (onion, add mayo and add mustard) with a salad as my side and an iced tea. Will definitely order from them again.

The restaurant was very clean and the noise volume low enough to where we could visit and comfortably carry on conversations. Our waiter was gracious and helped us to catch up with the rest of our party. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Nior and Dinner while the rest of our party finished their appetizers and salads. I ordered the steak frites and it was just wonderful! My boyfriend ordered the special which was halibut, asparagus, and mushroom risotto. Everything was perfect! The couple that was seated across from us split the special. The kitchen didn't hesitate to split this dish for them in the kitchen before bringing it out to our table. This is just excellent customer service! They are an elderly couple and could not possibly have eaten the entire meal by themselves. Our waiter was very attentive and nobody at the table ever had an empty glass. Also, your plate was cleared the moment that you finished with your meal. This was our first visit, but definitely not the last. Thank you for making our evening out with family and friends so very special. We will definitely be back in the near future.

The other, lettuce (never have seen that in a Maine lobster roll) and aioli). The one with butter had a nice brioche roll but most of the lobster was small claw ends vs nice chunks. The one on lettuce was better, more larger pieces of lobster, but meat was put onto a lot of lettuce to prop it up. It takes some effort, but buying a live lobster and cooking oneself is really the best way. I was hopeful- but ultimately disappointed.

Yuminess: 10/10 Allergy Safety: 10/10…read morePrice: 9/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Overall: LOVE Postino! The food is over the moon delicious with plenty of options and reasonable serving sizes. Even with the slightly high price point, it is well worth every penny. And they take allergies SO seriously! Literally went through a bunch of ingredients to find what would and wouldn't be dairy-allergy safe. Atmosphere is fun but cozy, too. 100% recommend! In-depth: Postino has quickly become one of my favorite places in the CLT area after my 10/10 experience here. To start, the food. My word, it's amazing! Everything my friend and I tried was delicious. The bruschetta is 100% worth trying (the spinach artichoke one is my favorite), and the west coaster panini + romaine salad was tasty at every bite. Their wine is also good quality, with a decent-sized portion poured. Allergy safety is a major thing for them, too. Our server (Lee = the best waitress!) and her manager looked through their bread and ingredients for about 30 minutes to confirm what was and wasn't dairy safe (I asked how dairy allergies are handled for when I bring my husband next time). They also had quite a few gluten-free options, too. The manager explained that she wants people to be able to just come in and relax for a few hours without worrying if they'll get sick, which I truly, truly appreciate. Lee shared a similar sentiment, which was amazing. Now price... Yes, it is a *bit* pricey, but it is well worth it. Nothing felt lacking as far as flavor goes, and the allergy safety is a huge thing. This is one of the few places I felt my sandwich and salad were worth every penny, even if it was $17. Also, their rewards program is great. I got a free bruschetta board, and they offer several other perks. Make sure to sign up before or while dining there to get some good deals! In addition to their sincere care for allergy safety, the service is fantastic all around. They do group service, meaning you'll have several servers, and they encourage you to grab anyone if you have questions. This takes the pressure off of waiting for one server to walk by and really helped me relax. And the atmosphere? I could stay there all day! It's a really fun vibe, but the lighting and seating are very cozy. Overall, I've already recommended this place to 5+ people and will be returning soon

Postinos is located in the main strip of the "bowl" and near the AMP. Parking can be located on the…read morestreet or in the parking lot adjacent to the building. It currently offers free parking for 3 hours and incremental of 1- 2 hours paid parking after. My wife and I came here on a date night. While her original visit left more than be desired management invited us to give them a second try and I'm so glad we did. We had an amazing time from start to finish. The staff was amazing and I was astounded by their dedication to their craft. The best part was the food. We started with the chefs board which had an array of cheeses and spreads. The most memorable was the whipped feta. OMG. The Ambiance was the only thing I feel could use some tuning as there's not enough sound deadening to make the music out? It sounds like a heart beat and makes it hard to make out conversations. Major shout out to Leigh for taking care of us all night and making it a memorable night. Also big thanks to Odhie for the tickets to the concert. This was definitely a night to remember. Thank you Postinos Staff!

The food is consistently good and the customer service is always good too. On this visit, I mentioned that it was my birthday and they surprised me with a dessert. It was such a courteous and kind gesture and truly made my birthday feel a little more special. I've actually been asked before what my favorite restaurant is in South Charlotte because so many of Charlotte's really good restaurants are Uptown or in other parts of the city. Every single time, my answer is 131 MAIN. The quality, price, service, and consistency keep me coming back. Definitely one of my South Charlotte favorites.

The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience feel special without being overbearing. We ordered the margarita, espresso martini, shrimp cocktail, salmon, crab cakes, mashed potatoes, and deviled eggs, and honestly, every single thing was spectacular. Everything was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and exceeded our expectations. The drinks were delicious, the seafood was fresh, and the sides were just as impressive as the entrees. I truly have zero complaints. It's not often that you leave a restaurant feeling like everything--from the food to the service to the overall experience--was exactly right. 131 Main definitely delivered. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience. 10/10!
