"Part sandwich shop and part package store, Diplomat Deli has been a Vestavia Hills staple since 1982. Eating at Diplomat can’t help but trigger nostalgia — the environment feels like you’ve tiptoed back in time. The entire sandwich selection has accolades, but favorites include The Senator (turkey breast with bacon, havarti, sliced egg, tomato, sprouts, thousand island, and mayo on wheat), The Californian (turkey or roast beef with sprouts, cream cheese, pepper jelly, and mayo on wheat), and anything with chicken salad." - Sarra Sedghi
