I love this place .. Love the people who own it and good place to stop in for lunch .. it's little inside I never have a hard time finding a place it sit .. a really nice days. It's really nice to sit outside as well for big parties. They have an area where you can go upstairs and eat if you want. read more

Really more like a 3.5, FWIW. Took a lil roadtrip out to Athens with my folks on a day off last week. We wanted to try this place. Since it is in the main part of downtown, super close parking is a bit of a big ask; we parked at a public government building about two blocks down and walked over. The inside is very small and only has a couple of two-seater tables and one bench setup, but there are multiple nice metal tables outside to sit at if the weather is good. Fortunately, we lucked out in that regard, as it was a nice day. The inside of the restaurant smelled absolutely amazing, so I was excited to order. Their lunch menu mostly consists of sandwiches and burgers, with limited sides like chips, broccoli salad, soup of the day, and so on. Bottled drinks and a couple of desserts round it all out. My parents split a Philly cheese steak sandwich with pasta salad; I got a chicken cheese steak with a cup of the soup of the day (potato), and we shared a slice of strawberry pretzel salad for dessert! The employees were nice enough to bring our food out to us while we were at a metal table on the patio, so that was sweet. Food came out relatively quickly and was definitely fresh. Overall, it was fine! My favorite thing was probably the strawberry pretzel salad; I wish I'd had a little more but I should've ordered my own portion! lol. The potato soup had really nice garlicky croutons on top that I enjoyed, though I wish there'd been bigger chunks of potato in it. I liked my chicken Philly just fine though I feel like it was missing some sort of flavor somewhere. My parents felt the same about their regular Philly. Unlike me, though, my mom unfortunately got several gristley bits she had to spit out. The chicken didn't have that same problem. Overall, a pleasant enough experience though I wouldn't say our socks were knocked off, haha. I'd return and try other menu options if I come back in the future. read more

Always enjoy eating at Wildwood. The Wildwood salad and the All American Burger are my favorites. Check out the fish specials on Friday Night dinners. read more

The food is fantastic! I had the BLT and it was UH MAZE ING!! My husband had the Philly cheesesteak and he loved it! Service is good but they are really busy! Well, at least whenever we've been there, they've been really busy. The ambiance is good for a diner, but I prefer takeout. read more

I had the all-American burger and it was perfect. The pasta salad was good as well. Amazing

Stopped for lunch on our way to Florida. Had the Dagwood and the sandwich was amazing and topped with tons of meat. Do t let the small size fool you, this place is packed with enormous flavor. Well worth the stop. read more

Salad was fresh and tasty and they let me make a few substitutions so I could really get the salad I wanted. only bottled drinks- even water and they charge quite a bit for drinks. The food was reasonably priced. read more

Just my all time favorite spot in the entire world. They have it all. If only they did breakfast too. I would eat here daily.

Great little sandwich shop in downtown Athens. The pastrami on grilled rye was amazing! Broccoli salad was on point. They have beer and wine if you want it too - not much room inside to sit but they have outdoor seating. I'd defiantly go back. read more

Wildwood Deli - Filet, garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed vegetables - Delis Near Me - Athens, Alabama

Food is very fresh, delicious and prepared from scratch. I got the steel head trout, blackened shrimp with pepper Jack cheesy grits. Friggin awesome. For desert I have a light and delicious chocolate cake with chocolate ganache glazed over the cake. Service: "1-10", I give "Taylor" the owners daughter, and "Rhonda", the owners mother (and hence Taylor's grandmother). They were fantastic and very nice, polite, professional. I would go back. Don from Indiana. read more

The restaurant itself was extremely small, with some patio seating. Their menu is limited but the style of the place is quick & easy. I tried the Wildwood salad. For somewhere fast to eat in a smaller town in Alabama, this place is a good option. For the food itself, I could have easily made the salad in about 5 minutes after a trip from Walmart. It was nothing special, but not bad. A good place if on a short lunch break, but not a quality or uniqueness that would compel a special trip. read more

Wildwood Deli - Philly Cheesesteak - Delis Near Me - Athens, Alabama

Very small place but a great find. We come to the area once a year and very happy to have a new lunch spot.

We went to Friday night supper. Hands down the best filet mignon I've ever tasted. Enjoyed the cozy (main dining area only seats 14), family owned business atmosphere. After talking with the owner/mom about a special bread pudding with bacon they had made in the past, she doctored up their offering that night especially for me. Outstanding! read more

My $6.50 salad turned into $10.43. They nickel and dime you. Salad $6.50. Add bacon $1, water $1 and then for a credit card they add 3% more. Gave a bad taste before I even tasted my salad. Oh and they weren't friendly didn't really act like they cared I was here. Well I lowered it. Salad was just ok. They didn't even say thanks for coming in. Won't be back read more

My husband and I had lunch at this cute little deli. We ordered the Reuben and All American burger. Both of us really enjoyed the food. Got to meet the owner, Matthew. Great young man, so cordial to customers and staff alike. Highly recommend. You'll enjoy your trip around the Athens square on your way to the deli as well. read more

Everything from the people to the food perfection! The strawberry pretzel salad is homemade and so good. The Reuben, club, pimento cheese, strawberry salad, craft beer and wine - couldn't have been ANY more perfect! Love this place and can't wait to return! read more

I'm new in town and I've tried the Philly from here it was like 7 out of 10 in my opinion but it smelled amazing in there and I will be back to try more. read more

Tried this place instead of going to a chain deli. Nice sidewalk view of historic Athens Main Street. Got the 'Wild One' with corned beef. The Half is 12", so a good deal. However, the corned beef was too tough. I had two pieces I couldn't chew threw, wound up tossing them. Broccoli salad was good and a good selection of beers. read more

Absolutely amazing. By far the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had and I have had a lot of them at various places. Very quaint place with a great low key atmosphere!!!! read more

Wildwood Deli - Philly Cheese Steak - Delis Near Me - Athens, Alabama

Stopped for a quick lunch on our way through town. It was definitely better than fast food, though took a while and we had to sit directly next to an overflowing trash can under a stinky ginkgo tree. The shop itself is tiny and smells like grease. Even pre-pandemic I probably wouldn't have sat inside. The staff was friendly but forgot our sides. Sandwiches were just what we expected. read more

Great place to eat fir sure. If you blink you will miss it! You have to go in and try their all American cheeseburger! Full of taste and the temperature of the food is just right! The place is clean and the staff is very friendly! I highly recommend this place! The atmosphere is welcoming. The prices are not too bad. The food is simply tasty! read more

Quaint little restaurant. Service was excellent, the food was fast, and they had a 97 health score

We drove to Athens from Nashville for my daughter to take her GRE. I had a four hour wait so I walked around the sweet downtown area stopping here for lunch. Cute place but the food is SLAP YOUR MOMMA GOOD. I think that's the best sandwich I've had in a long time. Good job Wildwood. (Don't get me started on the deserts) read more

I remember when the original Wildwood Deli opened back it the day and it was amazing. I moved away, it sold, and now I've moved back. The food was still amazing and one of the best burgers I've problems ever had at a restaurant in Athens. But I'm only leaving 1 star because the entire time we were sitting in the restaurant, we had to listen to the grill cook talk bad and complain about the customers and what they had ordered. This might be okay if you are back in a kitchen away from the people you are cooking for, but you are cooking on the other side of the cooler and there is a table of customers there. Not good customer service at all. I will never recommend anyone to eat here again because no one deserves to be talked bad about for not wanting a tomato on a sandwich. read more

The food is consistently fresh and delicious. The crab cakes served during Friday night supper are the best that I've had. The servers are always attentive and friendly. read more

Amazing food, great service. Cannot recommend this place enough. Best food in Athens area, and I would put it up against any lunch or dinner spot in North Alabama. It is that good. Owner operated and he cares about his customers. read more

Love this spot. They make great sandwiches and have cooks beer and wine. Downtown athens needed this spot.

Great food and service for lunch thru the week n Saturday. They are open on Friday nights for dinner we've had the steak and it's very good.

Went for lunch, place already was closed an hour before the posted time. Not the first time. Sure it won't be the last.

The reviews are excellent so we decided to try it out. The Philly cheesesteak had more fat than meat. Had to take most of it off. The pimento cheese has very little flavor. Not sure I will go back. If so, will definitely get something different. read more

Order the BLT with Pimento Cheese. Excellent choice. The pasta salad also was good. I like the atmosphere. Cozy but enough elbow room to enjoy the adventure read more

This is the best food in Athens! The cheesesteak is to die for. The pimento cheese and chicken salad is a close second. Homemade banana pudding or bread pudding is the perfect way to close out a delicious lunch. But get the cheesesteak. You won't regret it. read more

This is the cutest, most delicious little place tucked away on the square. It serves the freshest food I've eaten in Athens! Their grilled chicken salad is simple and perfect. Yes, the interior is tiny, but I think that gives it a cozy atmosphere. If it's a nice day, get your food to go & enjoy it down the street at the duck pond! I try to make it a point to grab lunch here every time I'm in Athens visiting family. Reasonably priced, filling, quality food, friendly service - gets my highest recommendation! read more
