American Deli

I like their hot with lemon pepper sprinkles, I have no complaints about American Deli, they have some of the best hot wings in LA thus far. Would always suggest calling to order because the wait time in person could be 20-30 minutes otherwise, which is understandable because they get quite busy.

They are so thorough, I mean napkins, straw, utensils, ranch sauce it was all there. Food presentation was on point. Aromas had me ready at the door!!

First time any place ever cooked my buffalo wings extra extra extra well-done the way I like them... Loved it

They are notoriously understaffed and extremely slow. Zero capacity to serve the surrounding community timely. Either staff up or close down.

The food was great and prepared in a timely fashion. They were busy for the dinner rush. The staff was attentive and efficient in filling all the orders. There is no place to sit inside to eat so all orders are to go. Maybe in the future this will change. But for now it is a great staple of the community to eat.

Customer service was milded best. No one answers the phone anymore. Call 3 separate times in advance because of my short window for the lunch Each time. I was left on hold until the answer Machine came on smaller portions than other location in general. Horrible experience. If you have transportation and willing to drive another ten minutes, there's one in Hawthorne that's way better all around.

This is one of those places that will hold up a line just to talk to the regular customers, & even serve them quicker. Ranch is free for regulars but if they don’t recognize you be ready to pay $1.75. Food is ight.

I placed an order for two number 5 combos with Philly sandwiches, wings and fries. Unfortunately, upon returning home to enjoy our meal, we discovered several issues. The fries were undercooked, both sandwiches lacked any protein, the wings had an off-putting sour garlic parmesan flavor indicative of being old, and my hot buffalo wings were burnt. Given that the restaurant closes at 9 PM, there seems to be no justification for the rushed and subpar quality of our food. Additionally, I need to highlight a concerning health issue. Following the meal from your establishment, my wife experienced consecutive episodes of vomiting. When I informed a team member about my wife suspected food poisoning, the response was dismissive, suggesting that it might be related to other food consumed and not specifically from American Deli. While I acknowledge the possibility, when the symptoms align with the last consumed meal, it becomes crucial to address and investigate the matter further. This health issue compounds the dissatisfaction with the overall dining experience and reinforces the need for a thorough examination of the situation. I would like to initiate the refund process for this unsatisfactory experience. Your company and staff must improve their service to better cater to the local community. I am dissatisfied with the quality of the food, the service provided, and the overall performance of the team. In the food industry, it is a fundamental principle that the customer is always right.

When you're in the woods craving wings I highly recommend this wing joint. You can't say no this place. Service is alright.

American Deli in Inglewood is a alternative to some of the other wing spots in the area. I've been here a couple of times, so, let's jump right into this review. Centrally located in a shopping center, about two blocks west of Manchester and La Brea. Pros 1. Customer service is excellent. From the person behind the cash register to the person handing you your order. I like that they show you your order prior to bagging it up. Any discrepancy, you can clear that up right there on the spot. 2. They offer all flats OR all drums. You can order extra crispy wings and fries. 3. Wings are good. Flavor is consistent. Cons 1. Wings are small but I prefer small wings. For me, not necessarily a con, but for the rest of society this may be an issue. 2. The inside of the establishment is run down. Ceiling panels ajar or missing. Thick glass barrier that separates customers from employees. Gives no contact jail visit vibes. 3. Wait times is long even on average. If it is busy, you looking at 30-45 minutes. 4. Online pricing differs than in-person pricing when you place an order through Grub Hub or Door Dash. The increase to order through a food app is substantial. Not sure why, but I would prefer to order online and pick-up to avoid sitting at the establishment 30-45 minutes. Overall, food is fresh and the wings are crispy and flavorful. If the inside appearance doesn't bother you than you will appreciate this spot. I am 50/50, appearance vs. food quality; I am not sure I can get pass how run down the inside looks.

Mid, too expensive, all hype. 3 stars. Customer service was ok, place was clean, food was fresh. Skimpy portions, call your order in even then it takes a minute to get your order. Food was ok, fresh hot but not worth the hype. I've been to 2 locations and the location does matter... its worth trying!

I used to love wings from here! The flavors are so good! But unfortunately the last handful of times I've went the wings have been old and dry. And the fries, limp. While waiting an 25 extra minutes in store for my order, I noticed the cooks didn't fry any new wings and they were actually grabbing wings from a previously fried bulk pile. I don't know how long they were out for, but our wings were cold. They barely coated the sauce into the wings and it almost had no flavor. Which is a bummer because I love the hot lemon pepper sauce, and garlic parm sauce. The fries were limp and soggy with hardly any seasoning salt too. It was disappointing. The wait time was 20-30 minutes longer than what it said when I ordered online, the management is rude, and when my husband complained, as it turned out, it was the manager he was speaking to! She told him, "give me your number and I'll call you later about it." Very weird. Please check your order is done correctly in store. It's ridiculous to wait 1 hour for 20 wings and a large fry and for our order to be as disappointing as it was.

Staff is great & food is real good. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with wings, the hot lemon pepper was so good that I ordered more wings.

We looked forward for awhile now, to trying their wings, fries, Beef Philly cheese steak sandwich and the house fried Shrimp Rice. All were great. The review even made it to our YouTube channel @TripoutwithSadieandRandThom

I love the wings at American Deli, they are usually 5 Star plus! But on Friday 5/23/25, and on a couple other occassions, they have not been fried crispy as requested and almost tasted half done, which could cause illness. I think it depends on who's there and busy they are, it shouldn't matter, especially with the higher than average price they charge. Also the bbq sauce tasted watered down with no flavor and, just barely covering the wings. Please get it together American deli you have the best wings in town!

Had their fish plate. It was delicious. Fish well seasoned, fried to perfection, nice coating crunchy, and tender. I like my fries crispy no salt. They got my order right. I have had various flavored wings also saucy and tender. People are friendly, the wait time can vary depending on how busy. We have eaten here for years never disappointed.

Long wait times, but this is definitely a place for consideration you want to pregame before that concert at The forum. And when I mean pregame, I mean to eat. Otherwise, you're gonna get stuck ordering the ultra-hyper-super-mega prices for crap food at the forum. I haven't tried there wings yet, but I've had their Philly Cheese Steak. Twice. Yeah, it's kinda 'junk food' , and having more than one a month will for sure clog those arteries, but overall, on the above average side when it comes to what Los Angeles has to offer on this Philly classic. And like all other items on the menu, they're made to order. And I love the krinkle cut fries. A lot. Those and steak fries are my preference. Seasoned with some lawry's seasoning/cajun seasoning is highly recommended to optimize the taste.

Food was on point I ate there's 2 days in a row chicken wings was sooo good mild with lemon pepper sprinkles fries fresh customer service was on point I'm trying the Philly next worth the price the wait time wasn't bad 5 stars

Friendly staff with great food! Honey hot w/ lemon pepper sprinkles ‍ hits everytime! There's a pretty brown skin girl with natural hair, she's cool as hell and I think she makes the food which is prob why it's so good.

The Philly cheesesteak w/ wings on the sides busssin! Always a line though. Dont forget to order that peach lemonade

Fire wings and pastrami combo. I always go out of my way to drive out here and get my fix.

For this to be a place that accepts EBT & make fresh food - it's amazing! I ordered the salmon burger. Good price, tasty overall & not a long wait period. Peach lemonade wise also tasty.

Hope this doesn't come off as rude but the black homie put me on wings are fire !!! And I like the Philly beef combo . Fries wings and a sub . Fills you up ! Ask for light onions and bell pepper . Get extra meat and trust me it's good . Get the wings extra crispy and extra wet the homie gets annoyed everytime he asks where I wanna eat now cuz he know ima say deli

American Deli has a great ambience and nice service the staff was kind and attentive my food was fresh and hot and very yummy

Good service and the wings are always made the way I like them and they are consistent with quality

My boo and I love this location in Inglewood... you must call in because the wait be so long !! THE WINGS ARE FIRE and their Saucy Fries We always get the BONE IN , mild with lemon pepper sprinkles and BONELESS sweet chilli EXTRA WET , EXTRA CRUNCHY

My daughter and I recently visited AMERICAN DELI in INGLEWOOD, it's always a long wait but the food and SPECIFICALLY THE WINGS are amazing with fresh fries and many different seasoning salts. Great staff during busy hours!

My first time ordering from this place, open the bag taking out the containers, the bottom of the bag, one of my ranch containers was opened and spilled all over. The ranch sauce was actually very good. My wings were dry, like they were sitting under a warmer , or fried over. The fries were old and hard. I spent so much money and the food was a disappointment, I should have ordered from wingstop. I saw latryguy video, and the food look so fire, not the case for me. Also the size of the wings were too small, some of my wings look like pigeon wings, I don't like big wings, but these wings were too small.

Turkey burgers didn't have any dressing on them and they look like they were just thrown together. We spend too much money there for our food to be delivered like that. I think it's because door dash delivers and we don't see the food until it gets to us. Shameful

There no prices on their menu and the prices on their website is not accurate because when you go in, they are much higher!

this one star is specifically cause I came to order some wings & I saw they have a new flavor Honey Hot. ... I ordered them and noticed they charge .50 extra when i was about to pay when it doesn't say that on their flyers I just felt it was weird. why would you be charging extra just cause it's new? Can we get a chance to try it first? A pet peeve of mine is money hungry businesses - especially when the customer service is not on point. there's really no need for that. They will tell you 10-15 min for your order and you be there for about 30. Get it together please! :)

Service/ cold food I picked up my order b-4 it was ready and my fries were just warm going cold. I brought it up to the cashier $18.69 order for a Philly steak sandwich & fries, and I wanted to try their signature sauce. DISMISSED your fries are fineMaybe because you're not eating them. I wouldn't spend another dime at a business that disrespects you. Maybe they'll change their ways. But that's a little late for that.

I am a regular customer of the Inglewood location. I live around the corner. I always order the same thing 15 barbecue wing extra crispy. I ordered on Saturday and walked to pick up my order when I get home they are the hot wings and not BBQ. I called and the guy was able to locate my order number 236 and said to stay close to my phone and manager will call me. No one has called. I've called everyday and spoke to the same man and he assured me the manager will call. I called today he said he can't help me and blocked my number. Not professional at all. I wasn't rude at all. Just want to know if I can get my order or a refund because I can't eat hot wings. I go to the restaurant and the lady was able to pull up my receipt and order but said she has to wait to hear back from her manager. This is so wrong! I have to wait so long to get my food or a refund.? It's disappointing especially when I have been a faithful customer Again my oder number was 236 my number 310-651-0249 Norva1967@gmail.com Norva Williams

Ordered wings and a cheesesteak sandwich. Wings were tiny, but the steak sandwich was just okay. Ordered the food 45 mins ahead, got to the spot and had to wait an additional 30 mins for fries (sigh). While waiting 3 customers played a game to see which one of them would pay for the group. All the loud laughing, yelling, bumping into other patrons (combined with American Deli's loud music) made my wait miserable. Their chaos backed up the order line. This may not specifically be American Deli's fault, but had they reached out to those in line (behind the players) at least it would have shown some concern for their customer's time. The food, service, and ambiance were two stars for me.

I've been looking for a great wing spot that does DRY lemon pepper wings and American Deli had great reviews, so I decided to try them out! Ordered on Doordash, when I arrived, the young lady behind the counter was just finishing my order. She poured my drink (peach iced tea) and handed me my order which smelled fantastic and was piping hot. The wings were delicious, crispy, well-seasoned, a real treat. The fries could have used a dash of salt, but the real reason I'm taking one star off is for the overly sugary iced tea! I took one sip and almost spat it out! It'll have to be watered down A LOT and will probably stretch to three or four cups of tea. Really overdone with the sugar. Parking is super easy, as this is located in a small plaza with not too much traffic. Overall, fast and friendly service, and when I'm in the mood for wings, I'd return here.

Il I like this place the wings are pretty good! But, I don't like there over the phone online ordering service!! Why order over the phone and then you have to wait additional time once you arrive to get your food.. they literally wait until you come in and pay .. before they will start cooking your food!! So irritating!! That defeats the purpose of pre-ordering!! She said 10 mins!! Once there 40 mins to get my order!! SMH!! People pre-order for a reason and this took longer than. If I had just walk-in to place a to go order!!! Do better!!!!

The wings are the best wings I've ever had. The sweet chili flavor is the best. 10/10 recommended for wing lovers.

I got the Philly cheesesteak. The food was really good. The sandwich was a bit small for $12 but it was very filling and tasty. I believe this place is listed online as accepting EBT, which they don't, just a heads up. The service was great and the restaurant was clean. I will definitely be back.

This spot is a hit or miss. Last order was a miss...stale French Fries and overcooked wings

The place is very unassuming but the food is good. It's fast food but tastes more on the homemade side.

Decided to give this place a try....contemplated on which one to try...we went with the one in INGLEWOOD always UP to NO GOOD!!! We step into the place it's one person waiting for their food. Hmm, it's empty in here am I making the right decision? Should I go elsewhere. Here's what we ordered: Pastrami Sandwich with fries and drink: Sprite Chicken Sandwich with fries and drink: Fruit Punch Philly Steak Sandwich with fries and drink: Fruit Punch 10 Piece Wings (Mild with Lemon Pepper Sprinkles) with fries and drink: Lemonade It took a while for the order to be fulfilled. While waiting here's what I observed: Even if you call in your order ahead of time, they do not began to prepare your order until you are present and the order has been paid for. The wings with Hot/Mild with Lemon Pepper are very popular. There are various seasonings available on the counter to sprinkle on your fries. The Philly Steak Sandwich seems to be popular. My thoughts on the food: The Pastrami Sandwich was on Rye Bread. The pastrami meat wasn't piled high on the sandwich. For the price and quality I'd go to Tam's before thinking about ordering it from American Deli. The Chicken Sandwich was piled high with thick or nice size tenders; it was siting pretty. Unfortunately it was a tad too much. The Philly Cheesesteak sandwich was flavorful with the meat piled up high; worth the charge. I got it with no mushrooms and added Mayo. The WINGS, nothing to be hyped about. Mike's Deli have them beat. The fries were a disappointment. You have the seasonings to top them off for perfect flavor BUT the consistency as to the way they were cooked wasn't there some soft some over cooked some cooked to a perfect crisp some not consumable. They were plentiful with the serving portion but it was the slack and lack of the consistency for me. The DRANKS...the fruit punch was overly suga'rish! I added ice and a splash of water to make it perfect. The lemonade was overly suga'rish too! The Peach Juice mixed with the Sweet Tea seems to be popular.

My favorite wings in LA right now! I'm a huge sauce fan, and that lemon pepper wet is perfection!! The service is ok, you'll have a bit of a wait but it's all worth it! (Also, try the fruit punch lemonade mix)

Excellent service and so Yummy, the boys loved the chicken wings specially. Will definitely be back !

One of my favorite restaurant, I really enjoy the wings here and fried rice everything taste authentic.

The food here is delicious!! The Lemon pepper wings are my fave! Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Lemon pepper wings are my go too the wings were season right the fries were okay not the best and the service was good

Ordered my food it should've took 18 minutes however it's a 35 they gave me a peach juice it was disgusting so I asked for water instead she told me she'd have to charge me for the water because she already gave me a cup. She was very rude about it it didn't make any sense so I just asked her for a refund and she told me not to come back. Save your money! Customer service save your money.

The food is FYE! For sure. However, the service is slow asl. Like why do they accept phone order and when you arrive it's still a 20 min wait. The point of make a phone order is to minimize the wait. Y'all gotta do better. But like I said... food is fye (fire).

While I sincerely hope these are not the best wings in LA (as a native Buffalonian and Buffalo wing purist), these wings were quite good and definitely hit the spot. American deli coats them with cornstarch before frying, which gave their wings a texture I wasn't used to (more akin to General Tsos chicken when sauced), but it wasn't entirely unpleasant. It was also gluten free which I loved. The sauces I tried (lemon pepper and hot lemon pepper) were also quite good. If you are used to a crispy wing however I'd definitely get everything made dry because the cornstarch coating + sauce makes for a little sliminess.

This is too mfn good! The quality of the chicken shows, they don't use those big ole gmo dinosaur buff wings. Everything is prepared to order so its HOT and FRESH. I don't know what they're putting in the sauces but its addictive. I don't live anywhere near this location and I make sure to stop every time im on this side of town. They got me in a chokehold I fear.

raw food from doordash that I got it came with no seal on the drink as well I usually go for the food irl but the one time I doordash the food is raw and un sealed

I ordered 10 piece hot lemon pepper chicken combo with fries and a drink celery and carrot sticks and the carrots and celery wasn't in there plus the lady at the counter must have been in a bad mood. Not sure if I'm going back.

Haven't been here in a while... garlic Parmesan wet and regular hot wings. Both were salty but the regular hot were extremely salty, could not eat more of 2 of those. Probably won't be going back

Good food made to order, great hospitality and reasonable prices. Turkey burger and wings combo was bomb!

Since this was a new spot. We wanted to try a few different sandwiches. Pastrami on Rye, they wouldn't allow me to order over the phone. Because I wanted pickles and mustard. So, I go in, order sandwich. No one said they didn't have rye bread. Instead, just gave me marble rye bread. After receiving sandwich I had to wonder if I ordered off the kids menu. Because it was smaller than a homemade sandwich. To top it off, it lacked taste. Gyro Meat Gyro, NO feta cheese, the tzatziki sauce had no flavor, I didn't taste any cucumber in it. But my dogs loved the meat and bread. Beef Philly, best of the 3 sandwiches, but far from Real Philly. A total waste of money.

Garlic Parmesan Wet, Family Gold, and Sweet Chili flavored wings! 10/10 everytime I am never disappointed when I come here!

This is more a 2.5 than a solid 2. The wings are actually good. That's pretty much the end. There is parking if you care about that. The place is small and there's a crooked table inside with 2 flimsy chairs. But apparently this "fine dining" establishment takes reservations and guests aren't able to use the very subpar seating area. Long story short my friend came from North Carolina. After a long flight we stopped to get wings. I don't live in the area so we sat down to eat the wings before hitting the road. 3 wings in and we were told the table was reserved and nobody could eat there until their guest came. We left! And obviously would never go back. How is there nowhere to eat your food? But again... the food was good. Just not good enough to be kicked out.
