    Small Gumbo. Pretty tasty for mall food.
    Edwyn A.

    Was looking for a snack to tide me over before an early dinner while staying dry in canal place shopping center and picked this spot over the Chinese fast food spot in the food court. It's a good option as they have a variety of items. Sandwiches and soups and even corn dogs. I opted for something quick so I got a cup of gumbo. The gumbo had lots of chicken and even a couple pieces of sausage. The rice is packed on bottom to make it easier for takeout. A small cup was around $5. Enough for a rainy afternoon.

    Don't judge the food by the appearance of the place. The food and service was great. The chicken gumbo, my God, so good,flavorful and full of meat and spices. Also, had a shrimp po-boy with the works. Tasty and full of shrimp. French Bread was toasted just right.

    I had just finished visiting the aquarium and was figuring out where to eat. I decided to give the food court a try at Canal Place. The food court is on the third floor. I found Centre Deli and gave it a try. Being Canadian, the curious and cool spelling of the business caught my attention. I liked the look of this place in the middle of the afternoon. You had the option of getting hot or cold items. Since it was hot and humid outside, I went with a sandwich instead of a hot dish. Considering that the shrimp po boy that I had at a different establishment wasn't all that great, I gave it a try here. One word: redemption! The shrimp po boy here was outstanding. Flavourful, yummy shrimp in a bun that was perfect. So good! Sometimes, you find gems at a food court. Centre Deli is one of them. I would come back here in a heartbeat. (34)

    I love the Centre Deli. Located on the 3rd floor in Canal Place, Centre Deli is a solid lunch option if you are in the area. My office is very nearby, and this is my go-to spot, especially when I am in a hurry; as the service is always quick. The deli is actually 2 delis in one. The left side is the hot foot bar. They feature a plethora of local comfort foods such as baked chicken, fried chicken, baked fish, baked salmon, fried fish, meatloaf, stuffed bell peppers, lasagna and a variety of vegetables. My favorite is the baked chicken, as the pieces are HUGE. I always get the steamed veggies which consist of a blend of cabbage, broccoli and carrots. However, I've had the fried fish, the salmon and the gumbo and have never been disappointed. I don't know her name, but there is a wonderfully nice hispanic lady who always works the hot line and enthusiastically greets her regular customers. The right side of the deli is for sandwiches. Their hot sausage po-boy is my favorite in the city. Yeah you heard me right when I said that my favorite hot sausage po-boy comes from a deli in a mall's food court. They have NEVER overcooked and dried out the patty style sausage, and it is always dripping with fatty flavorful goodness' and the french bread is always fresh. If you are in the area around lunchtime, give this place a try. It will forever change your viewpoint on food court food. They damn sure made a believer out of me.

    ***As of 6/4/15, Centre Deli is NOT closed!*** I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if you're like me and work in Canal Place, you don't have a whole lot of options in the building. The ladies that run the deli are quick and efficient and very sweet. The hot foods are very good and I've had some really good meals here under $10 including salmon, fried chicken, and lasagna. I am more likely grab a small hot sausage po-boy and fries for about $7 or if I am having a bad day I splurge with a grilled cheese with bacon. The deli also has breakfast items like bagel and croissant sandwiches, grits and eggs.

You find your own table inside or outside. Sides are separate order and price unless you order the special of the day amd it'll say what it comes with. 1st time ordered le pig. It was good, a little salty. But its not as tender as a beef burger. It was a nice change up. The pickles were good. We ordered some to go. ( take with you or they can ship to your house). The burger itself was filling to me. Rest of my party bbq pork and fish platter. Hush puppies were okay, they give so much. I could honestly do without it. Everyone was satisfied. 2nd visit ordered the porchetta . That was really good. Ordered a mac and cheese. It has breadcrumbs on top it comes in a small dish that i feel like is shareable. It wasn't bad actually ( ive had worse lol). One of the workers did really suggest it. I was willing to try it. It was edible, no cheese pull but also not just buttered noodles. Depending on my mood I might get it again. Porchetta and the leadership pig, I think the porchetta was better but both are great and filling.

The bologna sandwich and the collard green melt are two of the most creative, satisfying things you can eat anywhere in this country.

Ordered: - Collard Green Melt - I was unsure about this one at first but honestly the flavors work really well together. - Fried Bologna - this one was also very yummy. I think if i reordered I would probably do not mustard (but that's just a personal preference since I don't like mustard). This sandwich had a lot of height to it, my TMJ was not happy but it was good. - Crinkle Cut Fries Both of the sandwiches were good but they're quite rich. I wouldn't be able to finish one by myself I got a little flavor fatigue by the end. Having a hard time picking between the two sandwich which one I prefer more so I would just get both and split it with others. Wait Time: Arrived around 1PM on a rainy Saturday, line was out the door. It was about a 30 minute wait until we ordered and got seated. Restaurant had slight nostalgia vibes to me, it almost felt like the sandwiches were something someone made after school with leftover ingredients and it works.

I will say I planned on ordering food here no matter what but my total was around $45 so keep that in mind, the price can come for you quick! That is my main quip. They had a bunch of options such as lasagna, chicken, and different kinds of cooked fish The store is kind of tight so not recommended for someone who's handicapped. They're open 24/7 so I'm sure it can be a good place to pick up something good once you leave Bourbon Street!

I come to central deli whenever I'm with someone not from New Orleans due to the fact their muffuletta is quintessential! I would like to reiterate nothing was wrong with the food , great food purely with the lady taking orders. I got a classic half muffuletta and a "glass" San pellegrino. The lady then told me open glass is prohibited in New Orleans , I retorted with "o really I didn't know that , since when?" Before I could finish The lady then yelled with "SINCE FOREVER, IM SORRY YOUVE BEEN TO BAD BARS WHERE THEY SERVE YOU GLASS ITS BEEN ILLEGAL SINCE THE 50s" which isn't true the city changed the law in 2001. She then proceeded to open my glass bottle even though I told her I didn't want it open, so I the asked if I could get another one since she was in rage mode and didn't understand that she just contradicted herself. As I asked for the second San Pellegrino, she then takes the first one and goes "NO PROBLEM THANKS FOR THE FREE DRINK", and starts to drink the San Pellegrino infront of me as I check out, making thirst quenching noises like "AHH". As I leave she can't help but remind me for her free drink again. I'm pretty sure the management witness this whole situation and I hope they do something about, that lady doesn't realize what hospitality is and needs to be fired. I did nothing to her and I bet I wasn't the first she has blow up on. But in my eyes absolutely unacceptable.

I'm not an authority on poboys, but I've been told this is not really a traditional poboy and that it's more of a cross between poboy and bahn mi, with all the pickled vegetables.

I placed my order and then went to the front of the house to grab a frozen Irish coffee. There's one six people ish table and some small bar space in the Killer Poboys area, so I sat by the bar solo until my sandwich came out. I got the grilled shrimp poboy-- it reminded me a lot of the grilled shrimp sandwich from Num Pang, which is an NYC institution I miss dearly. But the bread is much softer and plentiful. The mayo and the overflowing pickled carrots makes it a messy experience. For Gulf shrimp, the fishy taste was almost nonexistent, a testament to the good seasoning and grilling. I wish we would all be so lucky to have late night bar eats like this.

If you read…read morethe whole review I'll give you the best tip on how to skip the line (insert shushing emoji) and don't cheat by skipping to the end! Hands down, the best po'boys in all of NOLA. Everything is made from scratch (except the bread, which they source locally), and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorites are the Surf & Turf and the James Brown. The Surf & Turf gives you get the best of both worlds (shout out to Hannah Montana). Look it up kids. You get the slow-cooked roast beef with gravy plus fresh Gulf shrimp. Shut the front door! The James Brown is just as incredible: juicy BBQ beef, pepper jack cheese, fried shrimp, and a hot sauce mayo. Bring napkins - you'll need them. Pro tip: go with a group and order a few different po'boys to share. You'll want to try everything. You made it to the end, so here we go. I feel like gate keeping (look it up old-timers), but I'm going to be generous because I love y'all. In order to skip the line, go to the bar area and find a high top or seat at the bar. A seat always opens up quickly. It never fails. You can order from the bartender and the service is top notch. Cheers y'all!

Fries are nothing special (IMO). While service was good, because they allow ordering food from the bar and because the bar is encountered before the regular ordering window... people tend to order there and make it difficult for people like me to obtain a second Mango Margarita. I did score a 2nd one, but I almost didn't... we need to figure out how to keep the drinkers happy
