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
Mike S.

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.

Hot dog was ok onion rings were frozen. If you're looking for something fast and cheap it's worth it.

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.

I ordered the Bistro burger with a Turkey patty and added smashed avocado in place of the avocado crema. My patty was juicy and well seasoned. I loved the grilled onions and fresh arugula that came on it! I also loved that my tater tots were crispy but not over cooked! Everything was just delicious! My son did a create your own burger with 2 angus beef patties, fried mozzarella patty, garlic mayo, and pesto on a Brioche bun!! It was massive and he was in hamburger heaven!!! The parking lot is small but I'd pay for parking if I had to! The place is not big but they do have a nice size outdoor patio area! It is very casual and clean! It also wasn't too loud! All in all, I'm glad we visited!!!

The burger came out overly done and was paper thin. Honestly a McDonald's burger looked more appetizing. My salad was great, but the waitress got my protein wrong, and some of my salad add-ons. The order is personalized on a build your own salad pad, so I don't know how she messed it up. Additionally she missed our only side of tots. We waited 15 minutes with no urgency on getting my right protein and the side of tots. Walked in and all the waitresses were on their phones in an empty booth. It's a shame because I would normally rate this place at least 4/5 stars.
