Dishwater tasteless chicken soup
Lala C.

Omg, this has to be the worst chicken soup ever! Dishwater has more flavor, yuck! Matzoh ball is ok, kinda of slimy and over blended. This place has NO idea of what a NY deli offers for chicken soup. Side note, bagel was ok, not very chewy. Better than Bagel Boys but not close to authentic bagels found at Brooklyn Bagels.

This place is ducked off in an office park area woth plenty of parking. It was clean and the employees were very pleasant! Even gave me a compliment! This Turkey Rueben on rye was chefs kiss and I think I have to attribute this to the bread lol everything was great but the bread made the sandwich! I also got the lobster bisque soup as my side. I was pleased but note* do not expect lobster meat IN this soup. Overall, I'll be going here for lunch often I'm sure & you should too if I'm the area! Like i almost didn't get a pic lol

Flavors were pretty good. I got a reuben with potato salad on the side. My friend a Greek bowl. If you're going for large portions this is not the place but again flavors are there. The potato salad isn't what I'm used. It wasn't bad but not my favorite. There are booths & chairs/tables for sitting. It was pretty busy during lunch time. You can tell they have regulars. I'd visit again to try the different options on the menu.

Bathroom plaque that employees ignore.

I've been here twice for breakfast only and they advertise a NY deli which is at the least a bit misleading. No salt bagels and only 7 bagel flavors available. And how about adding a roll to the menu? Nothing is more NY than a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll. Every employee I spoke to during the 2 recent visits, English was clearly not their first language. The food was fine but lacked flavor. A $9 breakfast burrito was nothing more than eggs, sausage and cheese in a small flour tortilla. They need to flavor it up somehow. The kicker was the cook in the men's restroom the same time as me who pissed in the urinal and walked out without washing his hands. Maybe he washed in another sink after touching the door to exit but not cool, especially in front of a customer. It's really not that difficult to do when there's a sign posted on the restroom wall. Everyone was nice but it definitely shouldn't be represented as a NY deli because it's not. Maybe lunch is better, but after 2 visits, I doubt I'll try a 3rd time. It's no wonder there were only a few customers there for our 45 minute breakfast. While I'm at it, Covid was in 2020. It's time to update your ridiculous website as well as the sign on your door about social distancing. Pro tip- it's 2026. Get with the times.

1/2 & 1/2 Lobster Bisque Soup & Grouchy sandwich A
Jennifer J.

Great menu. Pastrami and reuben sandwiches were very good. Lots of meat. Lobster bisque was pretty good, but the real winner here was the potato salad. Absolutely delicious. And NO ONIONS so that's a huge positive for us. Red Velvet cookie was decadent. Place was clean and staff was nice. We'll be back!

I had lunch here with a co-worker one afternoon.... If you didn't know the place was here it would be very easy to pass it right by. Inside is a nice eating area with about a dozen tables and an order counter. The menus is extensive with many different sandwiches, soups, or salads. Everything is put together fresh right there. I was here for lunch but from all appearances it looks like they have a pretty good breakfast available as well. I ordered my sandwich and was given a number. I then sat at a table and waited.. it was not long and my food came out. It was a good sandwich! Good size with great flavor! I also ordered my wife a salmon salad to go. The prices were quite reasonable. Service was good, the food was great, the location nice.. this is one of those spots that you could make a habit out of going to easily... I suggest trying this little breakfast or lunch spot.. I'm certainly glad I did!

I've driven by Grouchy's NY Deli in Alpharetta many times, but typically it was late in the day and they were already closed. I finally saw an ad they posted on Facebook which ultimately directed me to their offer thru Groupon. So, I purchased one of their Groupon's good for three individual sandwiches or breakfast items. When I entered the restaurant for the first time, Katie greeted me immediately. She was very friendly and welcoming. She gave me a good overview of their menu and recommended a number of items. Katie explained that they offer breakfast all day on the weekends (Saturdays only, closed on Sundays). They also offer breakfast on weekdays until 11:00 am. I visited on the weekend, so the entire menu was basically available. I couldn't decide whether to order lunch or breakfast, so I decided to do both. I ordered the Grouchy Sandwich, which is a New York classic, with thinly sliced pastrami, piled high, melted Swiss cheese and deli mustard. It comes with a side, and Katie recommended the potato salad, which is delicious. I then decided to try one of their omelettes. The first time I built my own with ham and cheese. The second time I tried their Times Square Omelette with grilled pastrami, corned beef, and melted Swiss cheese (no grilled onions for me). The food was great. Everything tasted hot, fresh and flavorful. The omelettes come with your choice of toast or a bagel. I ordered a toasted Asiago cheese bagel with cream cheese. It complemented the omelette very well. Based upon Katie's friendliness combined with the taste and quality of the food, I would definitely recommend and consider returning to Grouchy's NY Deli in Alpharetta. I'm going to bring some friends and family next time. Cheers

Pastrami sandwich and crinkle fries.
Doug B.

My darling wife and I are both native NYers so pastrami sandwiches are a natural delight. Groupon in hand we visited Grouchy's for lunch and were greeted by Katie, whose charming and helpful personality were noted by other Yelpers. We split a Grouchy's special - pastrami sandwich with some crispy French fries and a dill pickle spear. I did think the sandwich could have been served with pumpernickel and rye bread and a little more pastrami. All our lives we knew of Matzo ball soup but had never ordered any (shame on us). So we also shared a hot bowl of Matzo ball soup. It was very good and had a soft dough ball swimming in chicken broth with carrot shreds. A little bit like a Jewish version of egg drop soup IMHO. Grouchy's has many other items on their menu and the breakfast offerings looked worthy of another visit soon.

For the past few months, I've been traveling through Southeast Asia. While the food and experience…read morewas amazing coming back to the states I was certainly ready for some food that reminded me of Home for me. That includes some amazing home-cooked Polish food. Baltic deli did not disappoint in the slightest. Everything was so fresh and delicious, the pierogies were perfectly pillowy. The service there is truly amazing as they were out of some of the cheese and potato pierogies when I arrived, but they quickly made a fresh batch to order for me. Outside of the counter service, Baltic deli also has a great market where you can purchase goods to prepare your own meals at home. This place feels so authentic and brings a new meaning to comfort food.

Baltic Deli is a cute Polish deli selling fresh food, meats, and snacks from Poland. It is like an…read moreEastern European grocery store combined into a deli. After going to the Atlanta Christkindl Market and trying pierogis for the first time and falling in love with them, I wanted to find a spot that actually sold them in store. The lady behind the counter explained all the food available to us so service was very friendly. There are a small number of tables for seating, so the ambiance inside is not loud. We got the Pierogis (Meat & Potato + Cheese) and Cucumber Salad. I loved the potato and cheese pierogis! I got them with caramelized onions and a cucumber salad on the side (there were other salad options), which had a nice dill dressing on it that paired well with pierogis. The pierogis were really soft and chewy, which I think is how they are meant to be made, but I wish the pierogis were a bit less doughy for my taste bud preference. My friend really liked the pierogis with meat, although I am not sure what kind of meat was used. This is a really quaint eatery! I think if you have not tried Polish food, then this is the place to go. I will say it was a bit pricey? Almost $16 for five pierogis (albeit they were large and filling) and a side of salad. Overall, I would probably rate this place a 4.5/5 stars if I could.

The new…read morevegan fava "cream cheese" is a tasty if very expensive treat to bring home along with our fresh bagels. Always busy with diners inside and out, we love to place our orders, sneak next door to pick up our Starbucks mobile order, and then zip back to pick up our food. Remember to request plastic bags if you are going to freeze any bagels. Service is prompt and courteous despite the ongoing lines of patrons! Plenty of parking in the Publix lot. Support your local businesses!

The last couple of times we've dined here, the staff's attitude has been borderline rude, and at…read moreleast one or two of our orders have been wrong. For example, baked salmon requested, but received lox; no onions requested and got onion but no tomato; missing sides. Each time the line was too long to get the issues fixed, so we didn't bother trying to get the right thing. Oh, and the "side" of fruit or potato salad? It's barely 2 tablespoons and laughably small. The only positive is that the bagels and contents are still pretty good. The other continuing issue is the place is always super messy, with trash cans overflowing and tables covered with debris from other diners. You will have to clean your own surfaces. I hope the manager/owner is reading all reviews, because the John's Creek location needs an employee attitude and cleanliness overhaul. They should hire an extra person to bus/clean tables during peak hours.
