Ollie's Market & Deli

Ollie's Market & Deli - Review - Grant Park - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Ollie’s Market and Deli would fit right in in a small town. Waiting in line to order coffee, neighbors greet each other by name and chat about lawn care and upcoming vacations. If you sit outside, you can see a parade of stroller-pushing couples tackling the neighborhood sidewalks to get egg sandwiches with (or for) their kids. During the week, all-day breakfast and caffeine lure in the laptop crowds who make full use of the free wifi. But on weekends, the deli packs with people moving at a sloth's pace and soaking in nice days on the makeshift patio. Come for a midday pick-me-up when you’re nearby, whether that’s a turkey club piled with so much turkey and bacon it could be split into four separate sandwiches or a BEC on a fluffy biscuit that’s available all day long. And fortunately for all of the people carrying totes that say “shop local,” there’s a market area at this Grant Park deli and market with local produce and homeware for sale. It may feel like a shop in a small town, but Ollie's still has all of the ATL goods. Food Rundown Breakfast Sandwich The biscuit on these build-your-own sandwiches is light and fluffy. It's the best base of the bunch, no matter what cheese and meat you select. photo credit: Juli Horsford Ollie’s Club This sandwich is piled so high with turkey and bacon that it’s hard to take a bite. It’s got all the usual club components with a few slices of cucumber thrown in too, which makes the gargantuan sandwich feel refreshing.

It comes pressed like a panini so the swiss cheese is nice and melty, but it also makes the bread a little too soft and mushy. photo credit: Juli Horsford" - Juli Horsford
