Adams Street Grocery & Deli (UpTown)

Ordered here and got more then what I expected. I ordered the chicken strip plate and they are big. I got hooked.... highly recommend coming here to get you a plate and do a Lil shopping. Stay in business 🙏

My favorite local deli! Great food at great prices, I like to get the smoked sausage poboy. The rest of the store has a good selection, all with reasonable prices!

Adams is one of those jewel hole-in-the-wall spots that needs to stay hidden from tourist. The food via the deli is nothing short of exceptional. The po-boys, chicken sandwich, and crawfish pies are all those after-work and weekend delights. The staff in the deli, though very busy, are engaging and attentive. I do recommend Adams and will return, as frequented.

The shrimp po'boy was delicious. The bread was perfect, and the fried shrimp had a light and crisp coating. The sandwich was stuffed full and the lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise a welcome addition. The only downside (not really) was the shrimp wouldn't stay in the sandwich. It turned into finger food to eat with the sandwich. I think I appreciated the shrimp all the more for it.

Really really delicious poboys and good prices as well. The men behind the counter who made my poboy were very friendly and courteous! I got a ham and cheese poboy and they made it quickly and very well. They also have a wide selection of groceries and drinks. I’ll definitely be back!

A no frills neighborhood store for the essentials. Great food at a damned good price. Dong Phuong french bread and brioche buns! Lately my go to has been the grilled chicken cordon bleu on brioche, but all their sandwiches are great. Don't forget to tip the cooks! They're working hard back there.

Always a pleasure to be working in the area and get to order my lunch there. 😋

This place has the best I mean best chicken strip sandwich definitely a must try

Everything just clicked with this spot. Ignore the road construction and you'll find this tiny deli tucked away in a convenient grocery store. Menu is very clear and staff are friendly. I ordered the shrimp po boy and waited about 10 minutes for them to hand it to me. Cash gets a discount. Once I paid up, I dove into it in the car. The bread is fresh and has the crunch on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. Shrimp is battered and seasoned just right, and overflowing. All the dressings were just the right ratio. And I could only eat half of it with how big the sandwich is. For the price and quality, this is hard to beat!

Well stocked neighborhood grocery with hot grill in the back. Tons of foot traffic so that tells you about food quality. The guys serving up the grub keep things moving in a busy place. Stop by especially when they have king cake.

Love this neighborhood grocery gem. Best under $15 shrimp poboy and better than some of the $29 ones. Highly recommend. Also recommend calling and ordering ahead.

Friendly service. That chicken sandwich will make you do something strange to get another one. The oysters were fried perfectly. We went on Mardi Gras day right at opening. Great attitude from the staff and food was soooo delicious and well prepared. Soft bread. Think it was dong phong buns. My daughter wouldn't even let me have a bite of her burger she enjoyed so much. Fries were yummy and not greasy or soggy or too salty. Sooo good. Definitely a gem.

Always a neighborhood favorite. Price, Service and quality are aligned here. Solid poboys and burgers that are ready fast and won't break the bank. Love everything!

Great sandwiches at great prices and the friendliest crew of workers. The bread is top notch.

The guys here are super sweet and friendly. I ordered the ultimate club and the grilled chicken cordon bleu. Both were fantastic.

This is a convenience store and very small grocery with a kitchen in the back slinging food. The quality and flavor of the po boys is really more of a two star but the very cheap prices bump them up a star. This is probably one of the cheapest places in the city limits to get a po boy. They also have some ambiance and character inside with the best collection of beer signs of anybody in the city. The roast beef is not the best in the city but they do use a nice gravy on it. The seafood options are generous portions but the batter could really use some pepper or Tony Chachere added into it as the shrimp, oysters and soft shell crab really end up tasting on the bland side for NOLA food. They have a decent burger here while the best option to my taste is their onion rings. This store is really small and stuffed full of things so its really best to call ahead and have your order waiting for you to pick it up as there isn't a lot of standing room to wait and nowhere to sit and eat. My video review of Adams Street Grocery & Deli is here: https://youtu.be/4TWJok1yib0

I read about this place, and let's say that it did not disappoint! I had the shrimp po-boy with a side order of fries. The bread was fresh and soft. The shrimp were well seasoned and tender. Generous amount of shrimp for the sandwich size. I did opt for the full size. The fries were nice and hot, even though they came out minutes before the po-boy. If you are not looking for this place or using GPS, you will miss it. It sits in the middle of a neighborhood. It will take you about a 15-minute wait, depending on when you get there. But it's worth it! The fries did not make the ride back to the hotel.

I adore this spot. Food is great, staff is always kind. We love love love this hidden gem. Adams Street itself could use a little work, but this grocer is always on point. Don't sleep on the roast beef or fried chicken po boys.

I don't know what was better - my delicious oyster poboy or the price of my delicious oyster poboy! A friend of mine has been raving about Adams Street grocery for weeks and I've been curious to find out what the fuss was all about. Now I know. The hubs and I ordered and picked up oyster poboys today. He had a large for $10.49 and I had a small for $5.49. I KNOW!!!!! Five dollars and forty nine cents!!!!! And y'all, it was gooooooood! I'm blown away and am going to get in touch with my cheapskate brother who whines about restaurant prices like nobody's business. Rarely do I get to choose our lunch spot, but I think he'll be thrilled with these prices. And he's not hard up for cash, so please don't misunderstand. But I digress. I'm looking forward to my next poboy from Adams', and I think I'll bring my bro next time. #yelplove

One of the best places in town for a great shrimp poboy or other deli favorites. It has a great selection of beer, liquor and other essentials.

New Orleans is a place where you find just as amazing food from gas stations and corner markets as you did established eateries with table cloths. I don't know how this came to be, but this just is. Shortly before Hurricane Ida, my neighbor suggested we go there to stock up on some hand pies for ease of eating during the storm or if the power went out. I don't know how many we originally bought, but hand to God, it was like the loaves and the fishes. Those meat pies and crawfish pies took us through the initial power outage week and when everything was coming back to normal and Adams St. was open now and again, they just kept the food pouring out the front door and it was all delicious. The guys there know all the locals, the cost is spot on for such amazing food. It's not just the handpies, but anything you get there is really great. Sometimes there's more of a wait than I'd like, but you can always call your order in before heading over there. And? It's still a convenience mart so if you need more beverages or a razor or whatever? Chances are they have the rest of the stuff you're looking for, too. Definitely a must enjoy place for anyone in the neighborhood looking for good/mostly quick food. Great service and absolutely delicious!

Great sandwich. Totally affordable. Close to me in the n'hood. I'll be back. It's a small grocery store reminiscent of Verdi Mart in the FQ.

Great customer service and has anything someone might need in a pinch. However, in the great year 2024... why are we still not seasoning our fries?

It's a small store- but with a sandwich shop in the back. Po-boys are good- we got the roast beef. It's not Parasols, but it was good. Bring cash to avoid the 4% upcharge.

Friendly. Quick. Great prices. Tasty food. While I can say I've only tried the hot sausage po-boy, they definitely did not mess it up. Crunchy, fresh bread. Pretty standard po-boy, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to mess up. Will try the fried shrimp or oyster next time. Was told the fried shrimp was good. In a neighborhood, fairly nondescript. But good bang for your buck.

Really enjoyed our fried shrimp poboy from Adams Street Grocery. The location: we were surprised that this shop was on a very residential street. We thought we had actually gone to the wrong place because it was surrounded by houses. Street parking was pretty easy, but note that there were a lot of one way streets and that the streets in the area are very narrow. The process: the sandwich counter is at the very back of narrow convenience store. You order and then stand on the side and wait (we waited about 10 minutes). Lots of people walked in to pick up phone orders, which we will definitely do in the future for convenience. We arrived around 3 and by the time we left they were sold out of poboys (I think they close at 4:30), so go early or call ahead. The menu: so many options!!!! Poboys seem to be the big thing, but they had a number of other sides and hot dishes. The food: we LOVED the shrimp poboy, which was HUGE and around $10 for the full size. The bread was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I actually picked this place because of the bread to filling ratio. It looked like they actually press down or scoop out part of the bread to make more space for the filling... and there was A LOT of filling. It was stuffed so full that shrimp were falling out!!! Just what you want.

I have tried pretty much everything on the menu at this point and WOW they never miss! Such wonderful and friendly staff, amazing food (my favorites are the onion rings and the chicken cordon bleu), and such reasonable prices! If you want to support a local, small business please check them out.

Best Po-boys. Reasonably priced! Convenient to order and pick up. Viva La local grocery!

I ordered the first po'boy (I'm told it's not catfish but another white fish). It was very very good! Only thing it needed was the hot sauce! The grocery store is a small neighborhood convenient store a few yards from the corner. Since it's located in a neighborhood, parking can be difficult. The hot food counter is located in the back of the store, and since the store is so small, I had to order your food and stand outside. It didn't take long for the food to be ready. I order a side of fries as well. They were softer than I like, but cooked all the way. This place is a hidden gem.

I fucking love you Richard. Flawless style. Great cheap food, stock pregnancy tests please.

The absolute best value for po-boys in New Orleans. I love the shrimp and club on french.

A neighborhood small convenience store with an excellent little deli in the back. The poboys are overstuffed and well seasoned. I hesitate to say their prices are cheap but honestly must when compared to other NOLA sandwich spots. I suggest seeking this place out when in the Big Easy.

In Los Angeles , delis are places to get cheap greasy burgers. I didn't expect much beyond that here. I ordered a chicken sandwich and expected a cheap boring thing. Instead, it was delicious. It didn't just taste like a heart attack , it had actual flavor. I'm definitely making this a spot.

Everything I've had from here is hands down delicious. The burgers are unmatched. Super nice people from the back of the store to the front. All around good place to go.

The place is hands down are favorite place to get a fried shrimp po-boy. It's such a hidden gem that I hate to share. It's tucked away in the back of a convenience store. The po-boy is the fraction of the price at more touristy spots in the French Quarter. Added bonus is that it's two times the size of what you'll get at a fancy restaurant. The bread is perfectly crusty, soft and chewy. They don't skimp on toppings. The service is great - would highly recommend calling ahead especially during lunchtime rush.

Amazeballs. Love this place! Get the fried oyster po'boy, or any po'boy as I understand.

Love the people. Love the space. Adams street has great food and excellent. Service.!

Delicious poboys!! It's a little hole-in-the-wall place located in a residential area. The streets are pretty narrow and there are always cars parked outside, so I would recommend walking if you're in the area. Also, the orders can take some time, so I'd recommend calling ahead and picking up in 10-15 minutes. There's a ton of options, but my favourites are the shrimp and oyster poboys!

The poboys were delicious and freshly made. The store is tucked away in a cute neighborhood, out of the way but a definite go to location!

Amazing customer services!! Friendly and EXTREMELY FAST services!! The po-boys are stuffed very generously..and the price is great!! If u are looking for a friendly and quick service...go here. The place is super clean and organized.

Delicious. I ordered on UberEats and got a catfish sandwich on wheat with my choice of fixings. Also got fries and they gave a great amount. It was pretty cheap too! Will order again!

Po boys always on point. Fast, tasty, cost effective. Keeps the neighborhood well fed.

Had a roast beef po'boy here and it was solid. It's kind of the traditional hole in the wall establishment (grocery store) that made this sandwich what it is. It's not the best sammie you'll ever had, but it's good and super cheap. They stop cooking around 4:30 and I almost missed it... good spot

I rely on Adams for the go-to neighborhood store. They have EVERYTHING. And the guys who work there are really great and very sweet. Their Po-Boys are awesome.

My 5 star review is for the awesome oyster po boy I just ordered from here. It's loaded with oysters and plenty of lettuce, mayo and tomato. That's the standard dressing so I added hot sauce and pickles. Excellent crusty roll with a soft interior perfect for absorbing all the ingredients. And the price is only $11.49, which is much lower than an oyster po boy from the more well-known establishments. For comparison I paid $16+ yesterday for a shrimp po boy at Domilise's. The oyster po boy at Adam's is far superior to Domilise's in terms of price and value! Definitely a hidden gem since it's located in a residential neighborhood a few minutes away from the Tulane campus as the roads are typical New Orleans (bumpy, uneven, narrow). Take out only.

Great poboys at a very good price. A very solid 3.5 star place for food. Probably 2 stars for the actual store. Most sandwiches are about $5 for a full foot with the fried seafood ones being a little more. If you get them dressed, they come with just the right amount of mayo, lettuce , and tomato. The shrimp and fried fish were pretty good and worth trying. No skimping on the meat. The bread is perfect poboy sandwich bread (supposedly from dong phuongs--- only the best bread in NOLA). Overall, a very simple, straightforward, poboy. The ambience? Ehh well it's in this dinky little convenience/liquor store with no seating.... But it does mean you have every selection of drinks and chips. Pair it with hard liquor if you would like! Also don't expect speedy service. You may find yourself waiting a while. And nobody ever answered the phone to take our order ahead of time... Sweet place for a very budget friendly, tasty poboy. But don't expect to get your socks knocked off.

best food in uptown hands down! and super cheap!!! great people aswell! get yourself a po-boy and a beer!!!

This is the go-to poboy spot for me. Love the shrimp poboy. They just started delivering which is lovely because I moved away from uptown and I am obsessed with these poboys SUPER cheap too!!

A shrimp poboy for $9.99 before tax?!? SAY LESS There's no place like Adam's Street Poboys! They have the best prices in the city and absolutely great customer service. Delicious and fresh food!

Adam's Street Grocery is a small and easy to navigate through. With things ranging from groceries, to household items, beer, and hot plates/poboys! They never disappoint, therefore making it my favorite place to get my favorite sandwiches. Thank you Adam's Street for existing.

Best Po-boys I've had- and cheaper than anywhere else around this area. I VERY regularly shop with them, so I just "re-upped" my review (which already was at 5's). These are baller-class meals, at half the price you pay at tourist traps, and probably most *essentially*, their food is absurdly consistent. The bread is ALWAYS fresh, soft inside with flaky crust...shrimp (for example) is ALWAYS on point- since we know a minute too much or too little will ruin shrimp. I enjoy other options as well (burger- def go w pepper jack, club, AWESOME fries, etc. I eat here LITERALLY every time they're open when I'm available to come by (f'n work, ugh); and therein lies their only downside- they're not open 24/7...which made me die a little bit inside just to imagine. Try it...then get out your daily planner- you'll be returning the next day!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Great people, great food, always open, good prices. All around a great deli. I recommend the chicken tender sandwich, all their poboys, and their seafood plates. They do great business. Give this place a shot if you're in New Orleans

Amazing sandwiches!! This is a great place to truly try a classic New Orleans poboy and cola. They will not let you down! Maybe call ahead because it might take a while if you walk in and order since they have a lot of clientele.

I wrote a review giving this a 3/5 but that was the immature move of a fool, it's a beautiful place where dreams are born. The meatball poboy, what a meal. The hot Italian? Devine. Adams Street will give your life new meaning and give you the boost you need to finally give your wife the quivering orgasm that will finally make her delete her ex's number. The corn dogs are pretty good too.

Went back again for round two. This time for their fried chicken special on french and on Hawaiian bun. This is over the top delicious and jam packed with flavors.

This place is the best. Best sandwiches for such a reasonable price. I moved away but miss this place with all my heart. Go go go!

Very good poboys! nola neighborhood gem, not too many of these sorts of places left around
