Hard Times deli is one of those Memphis staples that I can't help but coming back too. I think…read moreabout their eggplant parm sandwich at least once a week and eat it as often as I can! Their menu isn't huge, but what they offer is all phenomenal. I want everyone to experience the joy of hard times in their life!

This place is fantastic. I have gotten sandwiches here a few times and they never disappoint. They…read moreare packed full of meat and toppings and many of the sandwiches put a unique spin on classics. The staff are always super welcoming. The only downside is the price, as spending ~$20 on a sandwich is never fun, but it seems like that's just about everywhere these days. However, if you're not that hungry, these sandwiches can be stretched to 2 meals to keep the cost down. A few of my favorites are the Turkey Bacon Ranch and the SSS Chopped Cheese. THEY ALSO HAVE CANNED GATORADE. IYKYK Being able to pop over to Slowdown Dry Goods next door while you wait for your food is a big plus. They always have some cool stuff to check out while you wait.

The shrimp was seasoned with cajun flavors and chili pepper flakes then dipped in a tempura like batter and fried. The shrimp was paired with a soft but yet crunchy bread. The sandwich was topped with lettuce and tomatoes. It did not have a sauce but would have been even better with a spicy aioli. Very GREAT SANDWICH. My friend ordered The Madness that came with a variety of meats topped with lettuce and tomatoes with an onion marmalade. My other friend chose The Philly Cheese Steak. Looked really good. The restaurant/deli is located inside of the grocery store with the same name. The place is nice and organized with snacks, local sweets, drinks, wine etc. The deli has other wonderful options in the case as well. Service was great. The gal that took our sandwich order was so nice and friendly. This grocer is found in the Crosstown Concourse. We decided to eat outside of the grocery store at a table. I will return to try some other scrumptious sandwiches.

At $13.00 plus tax, it's priced similarly to any of the fast food sandwich shops. However, the quality and freshness of Buster's version is unsurpassed.

Thankfully, right…read morewhen I walked in, someone pointed me in the right direction and said, "If you're trying to decide, go with the Redheaded Stepchild." I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.

The bread out here in Memphis is absolutely terrible which ruins the taste of many subs. NOT AT THIS PLACE!! Their bread comes from New Jersey par baked and they finish it off fresh in store. I got the New York sub with added banana peppers and it was SUPERB. My husband got a hot sub uomo arrabiato and it was also lovely. The staff was very very nice and helpful. Answered every question we had and were more than eager and happy to help. Price is very fair for the amount of food you get especially. I am beyond glad we finally had a chance to stop by here and try it out today. It was great. The place inside is large with ample amounts of seating. Parking right outside on the street or at the Gilmore apartments lot directly behind the deli down McLean. Overall I give this place a 12/10. Superb all around. HIGHLY recommend.

We thought it was going to be a bit more substantial than it was in terms of food, but overall a really fun time. In fact, since we were a large group, about half of the entire restaurant, they threw in a few more cheeses and things to snack on as we went. What made the experience, however, was our server and wine guide. He was very entertaining and knowledgeable and played well with the group. Excellent cheeses. Nice variety of the champagne in the tasting. It was $75 per person, so go for the experience and entertainment, not for the sustenance you receive. I would also not go in a group of less than 6 people. Less people would rush through too much. Although speed of service (we took a couple hours) was not an issue as the pacing could have been a bit more frequent.
