    I was so excited to eat here again and SO disappointed in the atmosphere and the food. I had the Philly cheesesteak it tasted like it was from the freezer section, not seasoned. Then, one order of fries were seasoned but the other was not. I'm in no hurry to reorder I've eaten here twice one time had potential but this time. I am not interested anymore.

    This is half of honey turkey with cheese on a roll. Look at the meat, pitiful, skimpy $7.I do not recommend this place.

    This is half of the sandwich, very skimpy with meat. Other half was a little better never again.

    Probably the best sandwich shop in all of Charlotte. These guys know what it means to push out fast service food with the upmost flavor profiles in a sandwich, that I've ever had. Hats off to the customer service and recognition of regulars as well. When you go here, get a different sandwich to go, because they're all fantastic. It gives you the feel of being at your neighborhood bodega in any major city. Will be supporting this business til I die

    Lots of choice. Delicious flavor. Nice interior space. Bar, tables. Wonderful Columbian Burger and Cuban Sandwich.

    Been following this place on IG for a bit and finally made it! Got the chopped cheese (no tomatoes) and shared wings with friends. The sandwich and Fries were delicious! The wings were too! Nice and crispy!

    I really love this place!! It's an Albemarle rd treasure that can easily go uncovered if you don't pay attention. I stumbled upon it a little over a year ago when I was looking for sandwich shops and they had just done their grand opening. I adore their breakfast bagels, and they are so affordable at only $5. The only other items I've tried are the Cuban sandwich, which was delectable and one of the few authentic Cubans that you can get around Charlotte. There is a perfect balance of flavors, and no flavor overtakes the other. The tres leches is fantastic also, and there is a very large helping. Check this place out! Coming back for the Philly and burger next time.

    So @dailyspecialclt on IG posted about this "hidden" gem and of course I had to try it. I love these "mom and pop" type places because usually the food is more authentic, delicious and more reasonable in price. First attempt was a bust because just as we pulled up they were closing a bit early because they'd sold out so I vowed to return the next morning and I did. The place is clean, nicely decorated and lively with great Latin music playing over the television. I wanted a chopped cheese but it wasn't 11 yet so I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a Kaiser and a coffee(coffee bustelo) and then paid for a chopped cheese and a Cuban sandwich to pick up later. As I sat there, many people came in looking to get lunch not realizing it didn't start until 11 so keep that in mind. And they are indeed open on weekends despite what was posted on Yelp at the time. The breakfast sandwich came out with that good bacon in it, not like the cheap super thin kind at many breakfast spots. It was hot, cheesy and the Mayo and ketchup actually worked well on the sandwich. The bread was fresh and just the right texture! It was just like I used to get on my visits to New York and in some cases better. The coffee was hot and was pretty good but I would have liked it a bit stronger, though I'd order it again. The place really started to fill up at 11 and so I dipped out only to return 45 minutes later to pick up my lunch order. I arrived and it was ready and waiting for me, so I grabbed it and went to the car to indulge, post pics of course. Did you really even eat it if you don't take a picture and post it on Yelp or IG first? LOL! The chopped cheese sandwich was moist, with just the right amount of sauce and basically was a cheeseburger with a spin. Next time, I'm getting raw onions added because what's a burger without onions? Fries were good and the Cuban sandwich made with roast pork, ham, Swiss, mustard and pickles had a hot press to get that crisp outer crust and those grill marks. Sheer perfection! Next trip I'm trying the hot dog, burger and empanada because I feel obligated to try them to have a full understating of just what The Bodega Deli is all about. Be patient, they get busy and if you're a NY'er and looking for the bodega cat sitting on the loaf of bread, it's there's. Just look around and you'll see him. He's a cute little fellow. LOL! Disclaimer: no live animals are actually on the premise but they were clever to include their version of the bodega cat. Now go and get you something and tell me what you think. That is all!

    It was ok, this was my first time here. I had the chopped cheese, it was cool but it was dry they were supposed to put the pink sauce on it but they didn't they ran out of lettuce and it didn't have tomato on it either now that I think about it. I had to wait 30 mins for my meal and it wasn't a lot of ppl in there so pack your patience.

    This place made me LOVE Philly cheesesteaks. I never liked them (even when I was actually in…read morePhilly) until I came here. Now I'm obsessed. Absolutely incredible. The owner was also incredibly sweet and took the time to talk with us about how the team went to Philly and did so much research before opening this place. You can truly taste the care and effort that went into it! The prices are more than worth it in my opinion , and every time we're in Charlotte, this is a must stop for us. Mouthwatering, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth any wait. I honestly wish they'd open one in Raleigh because we'd be there every single week. This place is officially a staple for us, and I cannot rave about these cheesesteaks enough. Thank you for serving the community and honestly don't listen to any review that isn't 5 stars.

I was very impressed at how quickly and…read moregraciously they not only messaged me to apologize, but also that they offered to refund based on the situation. While it was not a great first impression, I will be willing to give this place a second chance based on the follow-up alone! In times where customer courtesy and being a customer-conscientious business seems to have fallen to the wayside of pure profit and capitalism, I have to give full kudos as to how quickly and kindly this situation was handled. Well done and thank you for making me feel seen, heard, and valued!!! Just goes to show, voicing your experiences on these kinds of platforms can result in action :)

Around 9:20 PM, I received a call from Olivia, the shift lead. She was incredibly calm, professional, and kind while explaining that she wasn't at the store and the employees working that night were fairly new and that they usually appreciate a little advance notice for catering orders. She asked whether I still wanted to move forward with the order. I told her I completely understood the situation and wouldn't be upset if they needed to cancel since it was so late and inconvenient. A little while later, Olivia called me back to let me know the catering had turned out great and that they could still deliver it if I wanted. When the order arrived, I was so impressed! Both catering boxes looked fantastic, and everything was prepared beautifully. I truly appreciate the employees who stayed late and put such care into making our order, and I especially want to thank Olivia for her outstanding customer service. Her kindness, communication, and professionalism turned what could have been a stressful situation into a wonderful experience. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond!

The waiter was efficient, not friendly but not unfriendly either, just doing his job pretty much. Would have been nice to have him check on us once or twice but again not the biggest deal. The pizza: my son really enjoyed it and gave it a 5/5 and hubby ranked it a 3/5. He thought the crust was a tad too soggy. Side Caesar: 3/5 had some pieces of the lettuce that should have never made it in the salad and the dressing was just okay. Morty: also a 3/5. Too much arugula, we took some out and then seasoned the rest with s&p and some crushed red pepper flakes. It just lacked a depth of flavor and the bread and arugula overpowered it. The seasoning helped a bit. I even added garlic aioli based on a review I read on here but I didn't taste it. The pasta salad it came with also lacked flavor, though very green and appearing loaded with flavor it was not. And when eating it, the texture was very gummy. Didn't finish that. Overall, it was okay but I'm not likely to return just because there are better options based on the things we tried. But taste is subjective and it just wasn't our vibe today. But check it out for yourself because we only tried three things and the pictures of the other pizzas do look amazing. That is all!
