Deli 101 - A True Local Gem Inside Gadsden Variety…read more I've eaten at Deli 101 several times, and it's become one of my favorite spots for a quality, no-fuss lunch. Everything I've tried has been excellent--classic deli-style sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. The Club Sandwich is a personal favorite, and the Southwest Wrap is packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. They recently added flavored lemonades, and the strawberry is fantastic--cool, fruity, and refreshing. But here's the tip: don't be in a rush. Deli 101 is located inside Gadsden Variety, a unique marketplace filled with vendor booths offering antiques, crafts, and vintage finds. It's absolutely worth giving yourself time to explore before or after your meal. Friendly staff, great food, and a one-of-a-kind setting make Deli 101 a must-visit in downtown Gadsden.

We made reservations for a Saturday night at 5:00, since we were going to see the light festival at…read morethe park. We did not know there was a pub crawl for St Patty's day happening on the day of our reservation. We were the first to be seated in the restaurant since it opened at 5:00. Once we sat down we found out there was a limited dinner menu. The waitress took our drink order right away, but it took 20 minutes for the drinks to be delivered. While waiting for the drinks the waitress took our food order, took our food a good 40 minutes to be served after we ordered. The waitress told us our food was delayed because one item was burned in the oven and had to be remade. When we finally got our order one of the entrees was cold and the other was luke warm. We had ordered both entrees medium, but they were also over cooked. I understand they were busy with the pub crawl, but that should not have impacted their service as much as we experienced. What really disappointed me that the restaurant did not make us aware of the limited dinner menu and that they also were hosting a pub crawl when we made reservations. We could have made a decision to cancel the reservation before we traveled to the restaurant I hope the owners of this restaurant will plan better in the future and make their patrons aware of special circumstances affecting the menu. All I know is that I will not be returning.

We came across this nice restaurant and decided to give it a try. We arrived just before the restaurant opened and had to wait, but it was well worth it. My wife ordered the All American Burger and fries. It was not your typical everyday plain ground meat burger, but an herb infused delight full of flavor and the fries were excellent as well. I ordered a cup of gumbo along with the shrimp and grits, and I thought I was dining down in New Orleans. It was some of the best gumbo I have eaten outside of Louisiana. We will definitely have to come back again sometime when we are passing through, or may just have to make a special trip over here.

Hilarious, they still have their Christmas lights hanging up in May. They were very busy and understaffed. Our overworked server was run ragged. The staff was definitely not allowed to be their best because of the understaffing. This can affect their tips.

My friend and I had a fantastic lunch at Union Jack Cafe and I can't say enough good things about…read moreour visit! The British-themed atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and genuinely makes you want to linger longer. We arrived on a Saturday just after 11 AM and the place was already bustling...a great sign of how much the community enjoys this spot. **Food:** - I had the Traditional Burger, no bun, and they easily accommodated my request for a lettuce wrap. The burger was beautifully cooked--crispy on the edges and juicy inside, with the extra pickles I asked for. - The House Potato Salad is hands-down my favorite side here: perfectly seasoned and generously portioned. - My friend got the Fish & Chips and raved about the crispy, perfectly-cooked fish and the addictively good house-made tartar sauce with lots of dill (pickle lovers take note!). - She enjoyed her fries and iced tea, while I loved my hot tea. They serve Twinings teas, which are my favorite. My only wish was for a classic teacup and saucer (rather than a Styrofoam cup) to complete the authentic British feel. **Service and Experience:** - Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, from accommodating special orders to promptly bringing refills on drinks and providing extra sauces with a smile. - We placed our order at the counter and our food arrived at our table piping hot and fresh, never left sitting in a window. - Although the restaurant was busy, we never felt rushed and were encouraged to sit and chat as long as we liked, which felt very authentically British. **Menu Variety:** - Union Jack has something for everyone: a wide range of burgers (like Black & Blue with blue cheese, Mushroom Swiss, Breakfast, and more), as well as sandwiches such as club and chicken, lots of fresh salads, breakfast items, baked muffins and scones, plus daily specials. - They offer both indoor and shaded outdoor seating--a lovely bonus on pleasant days. **Atmosphere:** - The location in Rainbow Plaza offers plenty of parking and the eatery is spotlessly clean inside. The warm, small-town vibe and British decor make this a cozy place to catch up with a friend or enjoy a leisurely meal. **Insider Tips:** - Try the potato salad and the fish & chips--they're local favorites for good reason. - Don't be shy about customizing your order; the staff handles special requests graciously. - If you go on a nice day, consider the shady outdoor tables for a true cafe experience. Union Jack Cafe is a true neighborhood gem with consistently delicious food, generous hospitality, and a community-focused spirit that's worth supporting. Highly recommended for anyone in Rainbow City or passing through. I'll absolutely be returning often, and encouraging everyone I know to do the same!

I placed the order via Uber Eats and when it arrived it was cold and not prepared properly. The wrong receipt was given to me so I'm not sure if that's why it was prepared wrong. I wasn't able to go back at the moment because it was delivery. I called back the next day and asked to speak to a manger (Allie) and told her the issue. She was uneducated and extremely rude. The level of customer service and professionalism was far worse than one star..but that's the lowest I could rate. It was my first time there and I will never support their business again.

Small place, limited seating--more like a neighborhood spot than a polished restaurant--but that's part of its charm. You're not here for atmosphere or fancy plating; you're here because the food's got heart. I ordered the Coconut Wrap with black beans and rice, and it did not disappoint. Good portion, well balanced, and just plain satisfying. You can tell it's made fresh and with care. I also tried an empanada--decent, but nothing that knocked me over. Still, the wrap alone made it worth the trip. Service was friendly, and everything came out quick. Just know you'll be eating off a paper plate (literally), so adjust expectations accordingly. I plan to swing back through next time I'm in town to try a few more dishes. Solid spot that's doing good food without the fluff.
