American Deli, located at 795 Poplar Ave in Memphis, is a laid-back fast-food spot known for its tasty chicken wings and comforting comfort food. With a $1 price range, it’s a family-friendly choice for lunch or dinner. Diners can enjoy popular options like the Lemon Pepper wet wings or chicken tenders, though consistency can be a mixed bag.

Always wanted to try these since seeing them on the Atlanta TV show.Lemon Pepper wet are bomb.It makes sense why they're so popular.

Thank you so much for your 5-star rating! We truly appreciate your support, Evelyn!
We have a hard and fast rule of not going to restaurants that have no locals in the store when we arrive.Unfortunately, this lunch was chosen by a frustrated driver, and we had toddlers with us, so we were committed.We had the store to ourselves for the entire visit, at 1pm on a Saturday in December.No other customer ever came for dine-in (2 carryout orders). The gyro had only one slice of beef, and the pita was stale (hard edges).It was mostly filled with onion and lettuce, with 1.5 slices of tomato.The tzatziki sauce was average, at best, with no strong flavors, good or bad. My husband described the wings as very average.They originally gave us bone- in wings, not boneless, but made it right. My teenager had the tilapia and thought it was not bad, just different from any fish she has tried.Fries were never hot, although the chicken tenders were so hot we had to wait for it to cool.No other food was beyond warm. Kids ate the chicken tenders ok, but the store has no high chairs, boosters, or independent chairs - only booths.There is no public restroom, although they did allow us to take the toddler potty.
My orders are always right at 30 but there have been 2 occasions where there was a problem with my order and they DONT have a working number I don’t know about this location anymore sketchy business practices.Burned wing and missing items is not ok
