The Best Lemon Pepper Wings In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"What We Like: The crisp, perfectly citrusy, and extra saucy handhelds are trailblazers. You can’t rightly talk about great Atlanta wings without shouting out American Deli. In fact, a very credible scientific Atlanta study says that at least 80% of the chicken bones found around town come from this spot. OK, there is no research study. But with more than 20 locations in the city, American Deli has been an incredibly reliable spot for all things wings, but especially lemon pepper wet, which they played a huge role in popularizing throughout the city in the early 2000s." - jacinta howard

Where Shenseea Goes For Caribbean Food, Wings & Peri Peri Chicken - The Infatuation

"I was in a studio session with this producer called Tricky and one of the other producers ordered me some wings and fries. Let me tell you: I've never enjoyed American wings like that in my life. Wings in America...they put too much stuff in their chicken. It tastes like it's laced with some injections or fertilizer or something. Let the chicken grow with love. I never enjoyed wings in the U.S. until I tasted American Deli. The wings didn't look big. I chew the bones, and they were soft; the wings didn't taste like they were getting shot with anything. But that sauce. There's a sauce that they put on the chicken. It's a mix between tangy and hot. You know the program by now: when I like something, I'm gonna eat it again and again, so the wings were in the studio every day until I left. I went back to visit for one day and I had to get it again. My favorite wings in America." - brennan carley

My food was delicious. It meant my expectations and satisfied my taste buds exactly as I expected. Employees were youthful and full of life. They seemed to get along well with the community, especially considering this place is surrounded by half-dozen homeless people at any given time. A'daija was the life of the front end. She was tooting her own horn about how efficient she was as soon as I walked up to the counter. The bathroom was locked and the tables were unclean with visible crumbs and residues from previous customers, but the liveliness and politeness of the staff as well as the on-point taste of the food made all ok. I'll definitely return.

The cashier was amazing. She had good energy and provided great customer service all by herself. The food on the other hand…I use to come here mainly for their fried rice. It tasted different than any other location and my kids loved it. It’s been months since I’ve been here maybe over a year but the food was terrible. I don’t know if they changed staff or what but imma pass on this.

Philly cheesesteak ruined. Unfortunately it was FULL of onions and peppers, literally more vegetables than meat! Highly disappointed, meal ruined and money wasted. Never coming back. The atmosphere is also dark and dingy. The image is the veggies from only HALF my sandwich.

They greet you with a welcome in and smiles. I have never had any issues with my food. The salads are made fresh on the spot. It's totally delicious.

American Deli in Atlanta is that spot! I don't know how I've been sleeping on this place every time I visit, but trust me, I won't make that mistake again. The food was absolutely bussing and so fresh! From the moment we walked in, the lady at the counter made the experience even better. She was so sweet and super helpful, especially when I was struggling to decide what to order (too many great options!). The kids loved their fried shrimp and fries meal, and I went with the garlic parmesan wings--hands down the best I've had in a while. Dad had a wing meal with different flavors, and we all kept sneaking tastes off each other's plates because everything was just that good. I was pleasantly surprised by the pricing, too. I expected to pay way more for the quality of food we got, but it was so reasonable. Even though the location was busy, the food came out quickly, hot, and delicious. If you're in Atlanta and haven't been to American Deli, you're missing out big time. I'll definitely be back--believe that!

F this place. Someone stole my card to purchase 3 orders of food here. I called them to find out if the food hadn't been delivered and also to let them know that the card that was used to place the order off of Yelp, was stolen. The lady that picked up the phone said they were just leaving out the door to deliver it. When I asked her to cancel it she hung up on me. My account was still charged. Thankfully grubhub cancelled the charges

Food was good, received good a portion of fried. Customer service could have been better, as they almost forgot to give me my drink and didn't out any salt on my fries. Store was clean and ambiance was solid.

Great food for a variety of events or daily meals. We eat at this location all the time. They are clean, fast, and the food is always on point. Try each item on their menu, you will be extremely satisfied.

Unprofessional. I just came to this location and they closed before their established time. The service is always subpar. You have to sacrifice you're mental well being in the sake of getting food. Unfortunately this is the only quick restaurant near me and I have to make a choice as to whether I deal with the bull and get food.

This food gave me food poisoning, the food was fried in old grease! Do not order from this nasty place ! The worst American deli in Atlanta

Ugh. If I could give a half of a star I would. I went to this establishment at 8:00pm to order two philly's and was told the grill is turned off at 7:15pm. I asked what time they closed the guy told me 8:35, which is totally bs because everyone knows American Deli closes at 9:00.

Still one of the best wing spots in the A. Menu changed... But still the same food. Prices increased, but only at the mall locations. Single stores prices are good.

Stopped in here one day to use the bathroom. While I was there I decided to grab a menu and after reviewing it, I decided I would come back later and place an order. They lose a star for not allowing orders to be placed over the phone and picked up later, the employee told me their phone doesn't even work (what the hell?)!! When I was there to order, there were maybe 5 people in there ordering/waiting for food. They had 2 people cooking and 1 taking orders. I was 2nd in line, but it took me 15 minutes just to order because the woman taking orders was slow as hell...she was also handing people their orders and it seemed every person had an issue, delaying my order placement even further. When I finally did get my food, it was decent. I ordered 10 wings and fries...tasted good, but the wings are those tiny, baby little wings. I prefer normal sized wings. Overall, decent food and a fair value...I'd go back without hesitation.

These wings blowing up! On a Tuesday. These were the best lemon pepper wet wings I've had in a very long time. I will continue to make this my goto lunch spot.

7 of my 10 piece wings were old, like too old to eat or chew. Like how do you serve food that can't be eaten to people. They should shut this place down or at least inspect to be sure it's up to code, I'm sure it's not.

I hate to say it but this is the absolute worst location I've been to CONSISTENTLY. The two girls working the front have the WORST possible attitudes imaginable, the food is never ready on time, and again THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. They need new staff or to close permanently. PERIOD!

An Atlanta staple, I can always count on American deli for some great wings. Super flavorful, some would say it's salty but I love it. Most recently they added more side options (such as fried okra and sweet potato fries) as an alternate to the typical French fries. They have 3 punch flavors- lemonade, fruit punch & orange- ask for a mix of all 3. 4 stars cuz the cleanliness was a tad skeptical- observed one cook not wearing gloves, one small bug by the window and the cashier on her personal cell in between orders.

So... I literally just ordered from American Deli about an hour ago, and I am leaving this review due to the poor service. Although, our food was hot upon delivery, I was FLOORED to find out how rude the American Deli front counter cashier was being to my Door Dash Driver when he asked for status on the order. Also, I called this store about 20 times to emphasize that I requested Add Jalapenos on my chicken Philly and no ice in my drink. Not only did they not answer the phone, which is unprofessional in itself, but also they had an attitude, when my Door Dash Driver attempted to ask for any details on the order. I was on the phone with him, so I heard the person from American Deli being extremely aggressive and rude. I just want to say that it is fxckxd up that we, as black people, are constantly spending our money in our community to support these raggedy axx establishments, and I'm tired of the treatment we get in return when we are simply supporting local restaurants in the middle of a God dxmn pandemic. They claim they need our business to stay afloat, then when you give them some business they act a dxmn fool. Like seriously. I am unsure if this establishment is black owned, but it services the black community and employs a lot of minority and diverse employees, so I would appreciate it, if American Deli stop treating us patrons and delivery drivers like we are fxcking inconveniencing you, when we are the ones spending our God dxmn hard earned money to support your fxcking establishment. I am sure this restaurant will continue to thrive because the food is very tasty, but I beg you, if you're reading this to please put the pressure on these ppl to treat the customers and front line delivery drivers with some level of respect.

This was next door to the salon I was visiting. I ordered the shrimp fried rice combo and it was loaded! I wasn't expecting so much. I always enjoy the peach drink that they offer.

I try and cook my lunch everyday but when I don't I'm here.... It calls me and I come. These wings are amazing.... My first time getting a salad had me skeptical but I went for it and "pow" it happened! It was pretty good. I could've used more grilled chicken on my salad but I guess since I had a 6 piece wings to go along with it I can't really say too much. Lol

The impressively slow service only enhanced by the wonderful group of aggressive panhandlers hitting you up for money. The food was hot and worthy of consumption. Go to watch the parade of characters. Adds to the jury duty experience!

Yelp
The sign on the door says "Mask Required " and NONE of the staff were wearing a mask!!! How is it not a requirement for the people taking the orders and preparing the food not to be required to wear a mask?!! And the drinks are made when your order is placed and sit until your food is ready 20 minutes later... And to top it off, the aggressive, rude and angry cashier must be on the work release program!!! I will swallow an alternator before ever visiting this location ever again!!!! Sad that this kinda service is mainly in our black communities!!! When you know better, you do better!!

Good, fast food typical of American delis but the customer service at this location is TERRIBLE. The lunch-time cashier was extremely off-putting from the time I walked up to the counter. When she called my order for pick up, she 1.) Never looked up from her cell phone, 2.) Didn't respond at all when I said thank you. I thought maybe she didn't hear me so I said thank you again but not once did she reply nor look up from her phone. If an establishment doesn't want customers on the phone while giving their order they definitely shouldn't tolerate their front line employees on the phone while in front of customers either. A simple smile, welcome, thank you and have a nice day goes a long way to maintain returning patrons. Also, this location also NEVER answers their phone to accept call in orders! Extremely frustrating. I gave 2 stars for the food but I'd much rather drive an extra five minutes down the road for much better service at another American Deli

This place has really gone down over the years...the customer service is horrible. The last time I visited there was an incident with the cashier of unsanitary food handling. If you are going to do both jobs, stop and wash you hands before cooking food. Well, I called her out on her handling of the food. She informed me she was making her own lunch so it didn't matter. I decided to spend my money elsewhere. IF THEY WILL DO THIS IN FRONT OF YOU, NO TELLING WHAT THEY DO THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE!

This is the worst American Deli I have EVER been to. First they didn't have celery to go with the wings. Then they wouldn't allow me to get all flats even though I was willing to pay. Since they didn't have celery I ordered a chef salad as my side and was told they were out of cucumbers. BUT TO TOP ALL OF THIS WHEN I RECEIVED THE CHEF SALAD AND TOOK A BITE THE TURKEY WAS SPOILED!!!!! I usually smell my meat before I eat it and I totally was not thinking. I soon as I took a bite the taste was terrible so I smelled the turkey and almost threw up!! I highly don't recommend going here!

Best looking American deli I've ever been in and the cashiers were actually pleasant. Weird comment, but the other customers have always been respectful and nice too. I've been in a few American Deli's where customers are annoyed by people loitering/begging/ etc. Had NO issues even close to this here. Foods good, hot and made to order. Always get the wings and every now and then fried rice. Can't comment on much else but I always notice how customers order everything on the menu so it must be decent. Considering its the ONLY 'fast food' place on my way home to Grant Park, I REALLY hope they stay here because it always seems to come in handy when I've had a long day and don't feel like going through the whole cooking process. Very thankful for the location, the good food and service is just a bonus. Only down side is I try to call to go orders in all the time and they never pick up their phone. I'd give them four stars for this but considering their food always comes out fast anyways, I won't hold it against them.

The service was friendly and the food was food. I'm worried that the upkeep of the place is going down fast. When they first opened the owner was there frequently and it was the best American deli I'd ever visited. On my last visit there were flies everywhere! I counted at least 7. I was sickened.

Brand new American Deli by my house . Upon walking inside you can smell that this place is brand new . Nice clean restaurant. Friendly cashiers. I tried a new flavor called HONEY HOT! BABY THAT HONEY HOT WAS SNATCHING THE CAT BACK!!!! I LOVE IT!!! Thank you American Deli for being so close to my gouse

It used to be pretty good, went down hill, i thought under new management it might have gotten better. Nope. Ordered a cheese steak and there was only meat on half of it. I asked about meat for the other half and the manager explained that i'd have to pay for extra meat. I really enjoyed the food from this place when it opened, but no more. I am done.

Great local deli. Their combo meal portions are great (crinkle cut fries!) and the sandwiches are delicious. Just moved into the neighborhood and am happy to support local businesses. This place rocks! Their Philly sandwich is awesome.

I've eaten at the American Deli in East Point and absolutely them. This location on Hill was horrible! How do you screw up wings? Oh yeah some crappy sauce that was added. First and last time eaten here.

I had the WORSE experience ever at this American Deli. I walked in because I had to use the restroom. I made a purchase of something small, a fountain drink and small order of fries. The woman who took my order says she was the manager. The whole time she's dealing with money, wiping her nose with her bare hands, and scratching her head. I ask her to WASH her hands, she pulls out sanitizer and tells me the soap breaks her skin out. She got an attitude, telling me what does it matter she just making my drink. I asked for a refund because I didnt like there french fries. She said there's no refeund. This happen Friday March 23, 2018 and this was the time I will ever go back to this location!!! Who gets an attitude because a CUSTOMER ask you to WASH YOUR DIRTY HANDS!!!!

This place has the lousiest service ever! On two separate visit I've been greeted by servers who act like they don't want to work there. The first time I placed a call in order which they didn't start until I got to the restaurant, making me wait 20 minutes. The second yime, they 1) didn't answer the phone for 30 minutes and 2) they refused to serve me although I arrived before the restaurant closed. These people are losers. Stay away.
