    Let's just say, when my friend moved to this area of TN I had my doubts. But they suggested this place for us to go while I was visiting. To my surprise, it was very warm and welcoming. From the atmosphere, to the hostess, and down to our waiter. I was even more surprised at how fresh everything tasted. As if everything was made there and sourced locally. And to my surprise, it was. As it is there goal to provide food that way. I had a simple sandwich with some chili and it didn't taste processed at all. Not even the sauces on my sandwich. Definitely would go back if I'm back in the area.

    Come to the house, I guess you all know why you're here.

    I didn't know what to expect of this place. It's operated by Twelve Tribes, an "end times" Christian organization. Most said that the food was good, some said that it was sketchy, and others were worried that they'd be recruited into their cult. Well, I'm here to put it straight. Luckily, you have me to guide you through the weeds of doubt. I shall deliver the definitive word on what you should think. You will listen to me and be rewarded. For I am the soul of YELP, and you shall follow the path that I blaze. So it is said, and so it shall be. Now that we have an understanding, you can rest assured that you won't be recruited while sitting at your table. Pamphlets at the door will fill that purpose. You don't have to pick one up to read, but I do suggest that you bring some reading material, because there'll be quite a bit of empty time between when you order and when your food arrives. When your food does finally make an appearance, you'll thoroughly enjoy it. Fresh as fresh can be. The place is cool inside. Rustic and very clean. The servers (which were all men) are very congenial, and they definitely remind me of my days in the late 60's. The women were behind the counters or in the kitchen doing women's work? I'll let you draw your own conclusions on that one. You now have my permission to visit The Yellow Deli and partake in their fare. You WILL go, and you WILL enjoy. Quick Tip: To the lady who was sitting across from my daughter and I, for Gods sake...uh, oops, for Twelve Tribes sake, please do your insulin injection at home, in your car, in the restroom, or some other appropriate place. NOT while sitting at a restaurant table, and NOT while sitting across from me. Though the restaurant has a hippie vibe, it's not a shooting gallery.

    Pretty cool place. I was seated upstairs and I felt like I was in a treehouse. The sandwich I ordered was hot and tasty, but the service seemed a bit slow

    The food was delicious and the service was great. Loved the decor. Everything locally grown and fresh.

    Yellow Deli definitely has an... interesting backstory... to say the least, so eating here was kind of a true YOLO moment for me. Let's just say, this place has a history of very CULTured people. All jokes aside, my friend and his partner swear that they have the best sandwiches and smoothies and eat there occasionally, so why not try it out? I went with the Deli Rose sandwich, which has roast beef, corned beef, pepper jack cheese, provolone cheese, onions, tomato, butter, mustard and their own "spicy red sauce", all packed onto an onion roll. Definitely not a sandwich for the faint of heart lol. As for the smoothie, I got a basic strawberry smoothie made with frozen fruits, juice, and honey. Everything was honestly delicious, I was very surprised. Would I go back? I definitely think so

    01/17/2021 Great restaurant near downtown Pulaski TN. The food is really amazing... they bake their own bread (which you can purchase). The unique cold beverage selections are refreshing, my favorite is the Hibiscus Deli Cooler. The best hippie rustic vegan restaurant in Middle Tennessee.

The building was built in 1860. The original storefront was a pharmacy with rich woodworking that still existed; it is a very cool atmosphere. You'll enjoy hot, fresh plates, friendly service, and a true small-town vibe in a town with nearly 200 years of history. We started off with onion rings and wings. I wanted to try the fried green beans but did not get the chance, as I wanted to really try what's advertised as the best burger in TN. I ordered the 1/2 lb Double Bacon Cheeseburger, while my wife opted for the small 1/3 pound double bacon Cheese Burger. They both come with standard toppings of Mayo, mustard ketchsup, lettuce, tomatos onloin and pickles on a fresh sesame seed bun. I have to say that they lived up to the hype; we both agreed they were some of the best burgers we have had. The steak fries are also excellent with just the right amount of doneness and crispiness. My wife had the sweet potato fries as her option with the same opinion. Also, the railroad museum and the Colonel Littleton store next door are great places to shop and enjoy local culture. While I opted for a double-dipped butter pecan, which was excellent as well. My wife went the more traditional route with a hot fudge and peanut milkshake. While things were a little slow compared to other places, I was reminded by my wife of one the other reviews we read: " remember they are cooking your food fresh so it's not McDonald's..." This is in line with the slow, laid-back, relaxed atmosphere that makes this place all the better. This is a must-try if you are in the area. Highly recommend
