my wife is not getting around real well and we needed to take a dessert to a large dinner party. I called MSD and Chris made a few suggestions. he made us a carrot sheet cake that was the hit of the party. the price was reasonable and he made sure to protect the cake for a lengthy travel situation. we go to lunch at MSD occasionally but now view them in bigger ways than simply lunch. dave c read more

So delicious! Fell in love with the New Yorker! The staff is always so nice and make you feel right at home. Seating is limited if you go at a really busy time but besides that it's great! read more

You MUST be kidding me... This place actually exists?! In a society so full of chain restaurants and greedy corporations, you have this nest, this whole in the wall safehaven where one can come to enjoy a delicious and full hearty meal and an affordable price. Food tasted homemade and was of high quality. Their coffee is served in a cup where the owner or someone else writes an encouraging quote meant to be for the person who drinks coffee from that cup. It was incredibly timely and pivotal for me to read the message that was on my cup. My wife's cup seemed relevant as well and I recommend coming here, especially if you're all about supporting #local and trying to stop the #TidalWave of chains and franchises from opening and taking over our city. Let's help our local businesses, OK? Come on y'all... let's do this! read more

Been there a couple times and the sandwiches were delish. High quality ingredients. I wish we lived closer.

My family went here for lunch and got burgers, French dip, and Chicago style Italian style beef special! Everything was delicious and the girl up front was super sweet and attentive! We were all hungry so phone didn't eat first read more

Homemade roast beef for their sandwiches!! The sandwich was so good with that toasted beef. Definitely going back and I highly recommend it.

Great food and people. Chris rocks!!! He is a master chef with a flair for salads sandwiches and soups.

Received a burnt burger last Sat. Showed the girl who said in wasn't burnt.I asked why it was black and she said that's how it comes out. On Tues called the owner and all he did was yell at me. He said I was blackmailing him and he trusts his girls. I couldn't get a word in so I hung up. The burger was burnt and I have the pictures to prove it. read more

Great stop, this place is run by two genuinely sweet and generous people. I ordered the New Yorker and the pasta salad, both were absolutely delicious. They utilize two different types of bread on the New Yorker, two meats, sauerkraut, and a Russian dressing. The bread was crispy and toasted without being excessively greasy, the cuts of meat used were fantastic, and everything worked together cohesively. Between the phenomenal service, food, and reasonable prices I give this beautiful deli stop a 5 star. Nothing on the menu was over 10 dollars and the owners really care about their product and service. Do yourself a favor and stop in, you won't be disappointed. read more

Main St. Deli - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buford, Georgia

I wish I could give a small local business a higher rating, but unfortunately I don't recommend this particular one. We placed an order on Saturday for a salad and some other items. We paid extra for grilled chicken on the salad and a baguette. The order didn't have grilled chicken, no baguette, and the wrong salad dressing. People make mistakes right, well we called to get our 5 dollars refunded (it's the principal) and it just rings to a voice recording. The message directs you to their website. Okay, fine, I'll email. Nope, no response. The food isn't so great that this is worth trying again for. read more

Absolutely love this place. Friendly staff, the food is always amazing and they're always adding new specials. Can't recommend it enough

The first time we went here, the food was good; the second time the food just okay, but they served me disgusting, old potato salad, but the Reuben Sandwich was decent. The last time I went there, even the Reuben Sandwich was no good. One thing, though, the service is friendly--just too bad the food is not good anymore! read more

Main St. Deli - Main Street deli New York Reuben Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buford, Georgia

What an absolutely fantastic find! Growing up, my favorite place to eat was a small sandwich shop on the square in Marietta. Tommy's Deli is literally my childhood memory of a great sandwich shop, big kaiser rolls piled with thick sliced cheese and a stack of fresh meat. They closed over a decade ago and I've been without a replacement ever since. There are a few places around Atlanta that are very good but I have never had a sandwich like Tommy's until yesterday afternoon. I picked my lady up from the Ford dealership and we looked for something nearby to have a late lunch. Main St Deli stood out, so we went on by. It's right in the old downtown Buford on Main Street, obviously, and it reminded me so much of Tommy's, it's small with just a few tables, a very small selection of chips and bottled sodas, and then the ordering counter. They have several specialty hot and cold sandwiches and then they have the make your own section, which I went right at and ordered a pastrami and provolone and a turkey and Swiss because I couldn't decide which one I wanted more. I got the pastrami on a Kaiser roll and the turkey on a baguette, and they were both easily the best sandwiches I've had in years. The baguette was excellent but the Kaiser roll stole the show. I annihilated both of them and wanted more, unfortunately I was stuffed and decided it would be best to just come back. I know where they are now and will definitely be returning as often as I can. Price was a little higher than I hoped, but you get what you pay for and I got the absolute best. read more

Unreal gem right smack dab in the middle of Main Street in Historic Buford. Chris is the owner - New Yawka' and cooking and service is in his blood. He always is in a great mood and is ultra passionate about making sure that EACH customer is treated like family. That is a rare find and the food and atmosphere is quite infectious! Scratch made food with a crew that does everything in their power to make sure that you ALWAYS - enjoy your meal! You gotta try it - it's awesome to have personal chefs give you so much attention - and cater to your every whim! Just pull up, open the door and get ready for some fantastic food - for breakfast or lunch - you'll be back to order a bunch!!! read more

Main street deli has the best burger anywhere. Crisp outside edges, pink, not red middle, juices need a second to settle before your first bite. The grill is just 15' from your table so it will be served hot. Make it however you want, with egg for a farm burger or avocado for a cali style or Swiss and mushrooms, you can ask for grilled onions. At 1/2 pound no need to get a side but if you like they have lots to choose from. It will take 8 minutes to get your burger because he cooks it when you order. I have been coming here for a few years now and it was always pretty good, and I used to drive 30 minutes to a pub I thought had the best burger but... now This is my weekly fix. dang it this is not going to be good for my diet. read more

Great food, great service. Ambiance is tables and chairs - like a deli. If that's not enough, the deli was caught on camera during Ozark.

Wonderful friendly service, and portions are huge. Allowed me to customize my sandwich and even made suggestions for the handmade desserts.

So glad we found this place. We were looking for a breakfast place and found this on Yelp. This is our first visit here. The place is clean with lots of appetizing deserts in view. We like places like this...family owned and friendly. The owner Chris was friendly and very personable. There are some creative, original menu items including some tasty and healthy ingredients. Everything Is cooked from scratch and no canned stuff. I had the Country Breakfast with pork and chicken apple sausage). They don't usually have the chicken apple sausage but today they did and it was delicious. The corned beef hash plate that my husband has comes with diced corned beef brisket, sweet and regular potatoes with green peppers. They are so tasty. Cinnamon rolls look so good. Would definitely come back here again. So many nice choices that we have to try! read more

I'm giving back my star I took away because my last visit was off. I was sure it was just an off day and it was. The owner responded with kind words which was appreciated. Went back and everything was back to normal glad to say. read more

The New Yorker was awesome!! I got it "Barry" style. Geez! It's legit and and the sandwich is massive. I was hungry when I walked in but stuffed when I walked out and didn't finish the sandwich. The smoky Gouda pasta salad is phenomenal. I will be back and bringing friends with me. read more

Very busy place. Also a busy street. Hard to find parking. I ordered a pastrami sandwich for my mom and ham for myself and it was very good. I ordered ahead on the website - not user-friendly, but my sandwiches were ready as soon as I walked in. They have a variety of desserts that look good and I will get some on my next visit. read more

I was looking for a place to eat in the area to kill some time and came across this little gem! I ordered a breakfast sandwich on their homemade challah that had egg, provolone and tomato. It sounds like a simple sandwich, but it was absolutely incredible! Then I ordered their cheese grits.. was expecting a plain cup of grits and instead got the creamiest best cheese grits I've ever had! I do not live close to this little sandwich place but I will make the drive to visit again. read more

My review is late. My son and I found this little gem a few weeks ago through yelp. I can't believe we didn't know this place was here. It's a small place on Main Street in Buford. Don't blink, you'll miss it. We were looking for a local, family owned spot for lunch. So glad we found this place and happy they were open. I had the B's Favorite with home fries. Hands down the BEST home fries we've ever had!! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Staff was very friendly and personable. We will definitely be back!! I'm ready to try their breakfast. read more

I went there to get a coffee to go. I saw from other they have A pistachio cake and i was really excited to try it. They have a few tables inside. 1- coffee : just regular coffee from the big pot I am fan of good coffee so I was a little disappointed but my fault it is not really a coffee shop 2- pistachio : was surprised by the texture it tasted like a cheesecake and you could barely taste the pistachio flavor Not a great for me but I tasted a very limited selection I might come back for a full breakfast ! read more

Came here with my mom to try something new and wasn't in the mood for something heavy. We sat by the counter against the windows. It's a cute little deli and they play oldies, so it's a nice atmosphere. We ordered the Mediterranean sandwich and a bowl of soup. The cashier got our order wrong (the sign wasn't updated) we were served the Asian shrimp wrap and a cup of soup. We were a bit confused but the wrap was not bad and the tomato basil soup tasted homemade and fresh and not your typical heavy cream based. The cashier lady gave us more soup upon getting our soup order wrong. Later, the owner Chris checked in with us and we told him our experience. He offered to comp our meal/give us the correct sandwich. But, we were not that hungry anymore we just were confused more than anything about our order. He explained to us the confusion and the different specials (the board was incorrect). He gave us a brownie and cookie upon leaving. Both were good especially the brownie! We both loved loved the brownie. We'll definitely be back (to try the New Yorker). We definitely feel appreciated and valued as customers. Thank you Chris! read more

I did not know this place existed till today and I am so glad I found it. The staff are so sweet and amazing. I got the New Yorker (rueben) with pasta salad and My Goodness it was good.

Main St. Deli is located in the beautiful and quaint downtown Buford. It's a small shop with street parking. One afternoon I was meeting my brother there for his lunch break. He's a regular there and was ranting about the soups and sandwiches. In my opinion soup and a sandwich is the perfect pairing for any meal of the day. I was there a few minutes early and was walking up to the store front when a man walking ahead of me held the door open and said he should've let me walk in first. We laughed and smiled and after walking inside he asked if I was meeting someone. He walked behind the counter and I was pleasantly surprised to find out he was the owner. His bright smile and sense of humor made me feel comfortable and the shop began to feel like home. When my brother arrived, Chris the owner immediately greeted him and called him by name. I let my brother order first, I wanted to try everything on the menu so it took me a few spare moments to finally decide while he ordered. I ended up getting the black and tan sandwich with a cup of creamy vegetable soup. Not only is it homemade but it's delicious! As we ate my brother told me about other items he has tried and breakfast options they have as well. He also chatted with Chris while I was stuffing my face and wishing I had more. I was sad to go but I happy I came. I will definitely be back to try other menu options, probably just go down the list so I can try them all. Come check them out, you will not be disappointed! read more
