    Been coming to this location for years because it's in my neighborhood. Never had any issues until 6/20/26. Ordered a 6pc meal combo at 6:50. It was not crowded. I was told 15 mins for wait time I go in 20 minutes to check,my order still not done. So at 7:25 my six piece finally ready,I asked for a Jarrito for my drink I was told I needed to pay an additional 2.99 even tho I purchased the combo. I've gotten can drinks instead of fountain drinks before with no issues. The older Hispanic or she could be middle Eastern woman would not give me the drink. It should have been no issue especially because I waited 30 mins for a 6pcs. I was very disappointed. She never apologized for the long wait as well.

    Amazing wings, I ordered medium hot with lemon pepper sprinkle. My friend ordered hot chili all flats. Everything was delicious!

    American Deli, specifically this location only lol is very consistent and the food is good! I think the wait can be long and although I often call it in, there is still a wait when I get there which seems a bit backwards but ok! I do think the prices are pretty pricey though and that often makes me not as interested to go.

    Customers who have waited over an hour for third party, online and in person orders.

    Today was my first time dining at this restaurant after sitting for awhile trying to figure out what I wanted to eat for dinner. I decided to try American Deli since it's 5 mins away from home and always go to another chicken place. Today was by far the worst experience I've ever encountered. I placed my order at 7:18 and was told to wait 25 mins. I waited 30 and entered back into the business to be told to now wait 5-6 minutes. At this time, the business is due to close at 8pm. At this point, they've shut off there online ordering and not accepting any phone orders. Rather than stop accepting orders due to the excessive wait time; the cashier continues to take orders and telling paying customers it will be a 40 min wait, now past closing time. The staff is now overwhelmed and obviously stressed due to the amount of olo, phone and in person ordering. Now after waiting the additional 5-6 minutes, I was told to again I had to wait 5-7 minutes. At this point, the desire to try this place was completely turned off and appetite ruined. In the future, please stop orders at a decent time to allow staff to catch up. The overall experience was HORRIBLE & this is my review before even getting my order. I'm posting this review at 8:13 and have now waited for almost an hour for 2 meals.

    I it was a delivery order. Very efficient and quick wings were small and crispy. Vegetables fried rice was very good. I would say order away if in the lax area great service for sure.

    Garlic parmesan chicken, lemon pepper wings, and fries
    Samantha S.

    The chicken wings here are so good! Very crispy, fresh, and hot. They do not shy away from the seasoning as well. They are very generous with fries as well. The staff was very friendly to us but I do want to highlight that there are no places to eat if you are hoping to eat inside the restaurant. This was not an issue for us, but it's definitely something to be mindful of if you were planning on eating at the restaurant. Overall, a great place to visit if you want some flavorful, fresh wings!

    Large fry

    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.

    10pc Wings Combo ( sweet chili)
    Bobbi C.

    This was my first time visiting American Deli, and my expectations were moderate since I've heard it's a big deal down South. Upon walking in, I noticed the pace was very fast--definitely not the warmest or most welcoming vibe. It felt like you were expected to already know your order. We ordered two 10-piece wing combos, which came out to about $45. One combo was sweet chili with fry seasoning, and the other was honey hot and hot lemon pepper with lemon and parmesan seasoning. The sweet chili wings were solid--had a nice kick to them but still flavorful. However, the second combo really stood out! The hot lemon pepper wings were amazing, and the seasoning combination was on point. The fries were decent, though not particularly memorable. Overall, the food was good, especially the wings, but the lack of a friendly atmosphere and the price point make it hard to justify rushing back. If you're all about flavorful wings and don't mind the hustle, it's worth a visit!

    Receipt

    I paid over $32 for shrimp fried rice and 10 wings with a drink. Food tastes good, but this little portion of food is DEFINITELY NOT worth over $32

An extensive menu of sandwiches and hot food bowls makes it difficult to make a quick decision. Four of us and each has a different taste, including a preference for Vegan fare. The lovely missus already saw the Philly Cheese Steak which is neither an Orleans nor a York namesake....but she says it was warm melty and meaty sandwich second to none. My order was easy. I like chicken salad and it comes in a nice 10" bun with the toppings that are a must; tomato slices and shredded lettuce. The chicken salad Hero Special was a winning combination. The Vegan Shrimp Creole Bowl looked amazing. Pair that with another Vegan Chili Bowl and you've got outstanding flavors going to the palate. Real Shrimp is the main ingredient for a heavy bowl of Shrimp and Grits that brings you back to the Orleans side of the vast Orleans & York Deli Menu. All orders are prepared by a Lady Chef that invited us back for more of her culinary artistry. She began the chore of cleaning and putting stuff away as it was just about closing time... if you look outside you'll see the setting sun indicating the end of the day for Orleans & York Deli. We pack up some leftovers and are on our way. We will not hesitate to return for more.

I placed my order through their website, everything showed that their business is OPEN and running, nothing wrong. I arrive to 358 W 38th St and realize it's a food hub (multiple restaurants in one location) I call the restaurant to confirm my order and pick up time and the disrespectful service was what really made me write this review. He answers and says that the restaurant is CLOSED DOWN. The kitchen is not open and he cannot help me by explaining if there is an alternative location which I can pick up my food, goes ahead and says by good faith he will give me a refund and he hangs up. I attempted to try to see if anyone was here, the place is EMPTY. I rang the ring bell camera, no answer. I called back just to have the same person hang up on me 4 more times without taking the time to ask for my information to issue a refund, HE WAS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I clearly heard him taking an order while he was on the phone with me (he had me hold as soon as he answered) so why the unprofessional service? THIS IS A SCAM. There were more people in the parking lot trying to figure out how to get their food. This company should be ashamed of themselves for pretending to be in business and taking peoples money when they cannot provide a service.

I was worried that it was too many sandwiches on such short notice. I hesitated but ordered anyways and hoped for the best. I can't comment on the location but it's not too far from my building. On to the food! I ordered the Famous Figueroa Philly with cheese whiz. Although the sandwich was soggy, you have to understand that this is a hefty sandwich, plus it did travel 15 minutes to me. It was filled with a good amount of meat. I could used more peppers and onions but I could only eat half the sandwich. It was delicious with the cheese whiz. This is not your mall sandwich. The food was hot the fries were crispy and had fresh garlic. The food was absolutely delicious! It was so worth taking the chance. I called after I placed the order to ask for jalapenos because my boss wanted them. They did not skimp on them or ketchup or buffalo sauce or napkins....YOU WILL NEED NAPKINS. This is a juicy sandwich. I'll take a picture of the entire order. I let him know that it was a big order and that if it did take longer we would understand. I placed the order at 10:40 and it came at exactly the time stated on Postmates. 11:45. That is awesome! Icing on the cake...I noted names on each sandwich order and they actually wrote them on there....some places would've just let us guess.... Thank you! Overall this is a place you need to try.
