    Philly Cheese steak and 5pc wings. Also, there were fries, but threw away when I made it home.. Food has zero flavor.

    The food had no flavor. You had to add seasoning from the counter. The fries tasty like they were still frozen. The wings were supposed to be Garlic Parmesan, but they had no taste. McDonald's would have been a better bet.

    The family gold wings were delicious! They had great flavor and weren't too spicy for my girls. The wings were fried naked and had a nice crisp. The crinkly fries were also crispy and delicious. I would definitely recommend American Deli to others. The food was delicious and the service was good. However, I wouldn't get the chicken Philly again. It was just okay, and there are other dishes on the menu that I would much rather order.

    American Deli located off Scott St. In Houston Texas. The food & Service was good,, restaurant was organized with a nice ambiance. Mimi took my order provided me with fantastic service. Free Parking & this is a busy shopping center.

    First time coming here and once i walked in it felt like i had walked into a club lol the music was really loud and it was packed but that wasn't a problem for me at least. I ordered the 6 piece wing combo and even though the wings were quite small i couldn't finish them ! The fries were good and they sprinkle it with slap ya mama if u ask . The sauce for the wings was just ok hence the minus 1 star. I would def recommend this place for someone who's looking to eat good on a budget!

    Best wings & peach fountain drink in the city! We have a location in my hometown in Jackson & this is all folks would talk about. Now I see why. Anytime I'm in the area I would stop here to eat. I usually get the wings & mix 2 sauces, with the fries and peach drink. Food is always hot and crispy, definitely eat it while it's hot. They sprinkle a little seasoning on the fries so I would ask for more or dip it in my wings sauce. But definitely my favorite place to go for wings.

    Same as the ATL!

    If you are wondering...yes this is the same American Deli from Atlanta! So excited to see that someone decided to put a location right down the street from my job! IMO, I like their wings better than Wings Stop and better than Hooters (yes! I said it!) Just like the locations in Atlanta...expect the wings/sauces to taste just like they do in Atlanta. Expect customer service to be.......flirting with average. For those not familiar with American Deli, the name is VERY misleading. Do not expect a sandwich shop with healthy options. Expect a fast food spot with great wings, fries, burgers, colored sugary beverages...basically lots of calories from yummy fried food! . I usually order a 10 wing combo with half hot and half lemon pepper. The hot sauce - imagine hot sauce with seasoning mixed in; the lemon pepper sauce - imagine a wet (versus a dry rub) tangy lemon pepper sauce. They keep seasonings and ketchup at the counter to add to your fries before you leave. I also had peach drink. It was good! But, again...just sugary, peach flavored drink. The guy at the counter was completely unfriendly...which is consistent with the ADs in Atlanta. I actually tried to engage him in friendly conversation by saying, "smile". He replied with a straight face, "I don't smile". ‍ I don't have a photo to share. Why? I was too excited and ate my food before remembering. Yes, I will definitely be back and will do my best to exercise restraint and try not to go too often.

    Trill Burgers | Houston-Made, Houston Proud…read more If you haven't made your way to Trill Burgers yet, let me be the one to put you on,because this place is absolutely worth the trip. From the moment you walk in, the vibe hits different. The neon "Keep It Trill" sign sets the tone perfectly: bold, unapologetic, and full of culture. The murals paying homage to Houston legends like Pimp C let you know this isn't just a burger spot it's a love letter to the city. And the food? It backs up every bit of the hype. The burger came out fresh and I mean fresh perfectly seasoned, stacked just right, and wrapped in the most buttery, golden bun I've had in a long time. That bun alone deserves its own review. It was soft, slightly toasted, and held everything together without falling apart. The meat was well-seasoned with great flavor in every single bite. This is smash burger done right. The presentation was fun too served in their signature yellow box with the Trill Burgers branding front and center. It felt special, like the food was meant to be experienced, not just eaten. The energy inside is cool and laid-back with just the right amount of Houston swagger. Clean space, great aesthetic, and staff that keeps it moving. This is Black-owned excellence on full display, and it shows in the quality and the pride behind every detail. Definitely worth every dollar. I'll be back ,no question.

I got a single pickle, barely any sauce, and they charge extra just for onions. If you have to drown a burger in sauce for it to be good, it's not a good burger. The saving graces were the service and cleanliness; the staff was incredibly kind, the food came out fast, and the place was spotless. The fries were also hot and fresh. Still, for a 5/10 meal, the price just isn't justified.

    In the past, I never understood the Jollibee hype. Being a Filipina, I know that's unusual... But,…read moreI do appreciate it much more as of late. It's been YEARS since I've visited a Jollibee, and it seems both the individual locations and the brand as a whole have made a lot of upgrades and changes for the better! The kiosk ordering system is a nice convenience, and (specific to the Houston restaurant) the establishment has been renovated for a more modern & minimalist look. Also worth mentioning: The restaurant was clean, and the crew was organized and efficient. Go, H-Town! Now, the food: I don't dislike the spaghetti, but it's still not my cup of tea... I still can't wrap my head or my tastebuds around the sweet & sugary sauce, and the addition of fatty hot dogs just don't do it for me. The adobo rice is overrated, in my option... a lot of garlic and salt, but missing the essence of adobo. I'll also pass on the biscuit next time (dry and didn't have much going on). However, I totally get why the fried chicken has become so viral! Super crispy, but not greasy. Great flavor & seasoning without being obnoxiously salty (think Popeye's cousin who went to college). And, thanks to TikTok, I enjoyed a chicken skin taco (skin stuffed with rice and drown it in brown gravy). Yummmmm! ChickenJoy is definitely where it's at.

Bucket of chicken, white rice, gravy - I am satisfied. Crispy, hot, fresh. Spicy is better than regular. Dip that chicken in the gravy ... soo good! Now Service - it's a fast food joint, don't expect much. Ambiance - while the restaurant is clean, we ran into a situation where there was someone (who definitely wasn't a customer) who kept asking patrons for food/money. There was nothing the employees could do, they said. 5* for food. Ding two stars for ambiance unfortunately.

Let me begin by saying the atmosphere of the store was best described as abandoned. No one at the front to greet and no patrons. There was no music or sound at all in the entire restaurant which was a little creepy but it was late so we figured it was close to close (they didn't close for five hours we later found out). When we got our food we were incredibly disappointed, one hot dog was missing key components and the elote was true crime to humanity. I genuinely don't know how you can be a business in Houston and not know how to make a elote. It had almost no Mayo on it and had Parmesan cheese....they also had some toppings listed as options (specifically the pickled red onions which were a main part of the brisket dog) which they were out of stock of. The attendant told us specifically "we don't have that at this location". The saving grace of the meal were the bottled beverages which were incredible, but also entirely not of the establishment and I don't want to credit them with another businesses hard earned rave review. Overall we are rarely disappointed by hot dogs, an item in and of itself which is hard to mess up. Now looking at other yelp reviews it seems we aren't the only ones who were expecting a little more. We won't make a repeat visit, but hopefully the business can attempt to fix some things for other patrons in the future.
