Martin's Wine Cellar is always a favorite stop! Their chicken salad is absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and consistently made just right. It's one of those meals I find myself craving again and again. I also love their fresh lemonade, which is the perfect complement to lunch. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the service is always quick and attentive. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, picking up a bottle of wine, or browsing their gourmet selection, Martin's Wine Cellar is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back! read more

Picked up sandwiches to go with potato salad, all the food was excellent. Will go back for sure!

I come here at least once a month for a trio salad. Today it seems as though I got a half of a trio salad. maybe it's because of the declining economy that they are skimping on their portions. For $17 it was totally wasn't worth my time for money to stop there. The server asked if I needed any utensils and I said just some extra crackers she said they were in there and there was only three crackers. Mine you three separate scoops of three different salads. Don't let them take advantage of you like they did me. read more

Our office ordered food for lunch. Service was fast . We got a pan of the fried chicken strips , good flavor and crispy. Tray of finger sandwiches, they were not skimping on the meat. Also a tray of bagel sandwiches and fruit trays. All were good. We will definitely order again. read more

Clean fresh n tasty ! Get lunch specials and get full. Well portioned plates with good service this close to the hacienda!! Muy bueno!! !!

Knowledgeable staff. Love the atmosphere and the assistance throughout my shopping experience.

This is a great spot to get your spirits and wines without all the excessive foot traffic. There's a good variety of items also. They also serve things like sandwiches. I didn't try the food this time. But it was a pleasure to pick up what I need and be out quickly. read more

We went for lunch at 11:30 on a Friday and the dining room was busy ! Lots of people and movement. Ordering was fast and they bring to your table. I had the Martin salad which was amazing !! Had everything I on a salad. I ate every single bite. I also got the roast beef to go for my dinner. The bun was tasty and piled high with meat. It was very good my friend bought a grilled vegetable sandwich and she said it was ok. Not great not bad. Probably would try something different next time. I would most definitely get my salad again !! But there are other things on the menu that I also wish to try The lemonade is very good and in BIG glasses. Definitely will be back read more

So Martin's is no secret to the locals in Metarie as is evident any day during lunch. The bistro in the front of the store is always busy! The deli bar is over the top with selections of great meats cheese and wonderful pate'. They are primarily a wine/spirits retail and they always have featured wines throughout the store and the bistro. The breads or at least my favorite come from a local bakery. It is good to go a little early or stay a few minutes after to shop some of the interesting food and wines. Browsing can be fun and you will likely never leave empty handed! All in all it has become a go to place for me for lots of things! read more

The best catering and lunch spot for the last 3 decades and counting. Never disappoints. So many choices for gourmet food and wine.

Went for the Bougie Wine and cheese event this past friday. While the cheese selection was phenomenal the wine portions were dismal. There didn't need to be a half glass pour but more than the two sips that were given. Truly disappointing as the wine was delicious!! read more

Came by to order some food for a catering event and the lady at the counter was so helpful and friendly!! She helped me decide what to order and packed it beautifully!! The restaurant was super busy so it was a little bit loud but not too loud that we had to shout over each other. They have the best GOURMET sandwich tray !! read more

It's a sad day in paradise. I've been a regular customer of Martins for years. I love this place HOWEVER I just had the worst experience ever from there. I ordered my favorite Ruben after Steins. But this is not the same Ruben I typically get. They forgot to put sauerkraut on it and the Russian dressing. when I brought the sandwich back to the counter the cashier was dripping with attitude. But the worse part was the sauerkraut they put on it was minimal. Very small scoop in the center. I could not taste anything so I tried it by itself and it was tasteless. The corn beef was just ok . Worst sandwich as a whole that I have had in a long time. $18 for the sandwich and a Diet Coke and I still can't get over the attitude of the cashier. So Sad but I still have Steins for my Ruben. read more

Great service. Nice people. Always order Rueben or chicken and tuna salads. Always bring a few bottles home. Going back next week

I absolutely love Martin Wine. They have a great selection of wines and spirits... probably why they are changing their name to just Martin's. But this is a wonderful place to get wine and ask questions if you aren't sure, there are plenty of well informed and knowledgeable staff members eager to help you. They have free tastings every Friday. Like 3 or 4 wines to taste. They have their amazing events that include wine tastings and spirit tastings, but my ultimate favorites are the wine pairing dinners by my favorite chef in the city, Jordan! He can make me eat oysters because he cooks so freaking well! I would love for him to cook for me personally, he is truly talented. Also, other staff that are talented and knowledgeable are bow-tie Blake. He is passionate and really explains things so well, but not just well, he explains them and markets them, like you want to drink what he is talking about right now. He was really born for this role. Brandon is another wonderful joy as is Alex. I also enjoyed going to one of their Sunday brunch parties. My goodness, what delicious food on the buffet and botomless yummy beverages. So good, I hope they plan more of these. I absoltuely love the events and hope they continue and add even more events to the calendar. They are reasonably priced, planned and organized well, and just overall very fun and laid back. I LOVE Martins! I'd give it 10 stars, if I could. read more

I've been going to Martins for decades and see a decline in quality lately. I ordered my usual Sena salad. It looked liked sliced chicken instead of pulled. About 1/3 of the chicken had a dark pink look to it and the other 1/3 looked hard like it was the end or gristle. Also, hardly any nuts or raisins in the salad. I left hungry cuz I was afraid to eat about 2/3 of the chicken on the salad. read more

Love the Californian sandwich. The staff is helpful with selection and purchase of wine. No discount on cases.

Food is always very good. Prompt service at the times I've been there. The wines I've purchased have all been very enjoyable.

LOVE Martin Wine Cellar & their deli! Their new Caprese sandwich was delicious--I ordered it pressed, which I highly recommend. The Lindy Special and The Sena Salad are classics of the deli, and I love them as well. I do wish the deli would start incorporating a side to come with sandwiches (bag of chips, side salad, etc.), but nonetheless, their sandwiches are amazing and this is a great place to grab lunch! read more

Martin's has been a part of my life for years, for so many reasons. When I need a hostess gift, birthday gift, or am having friends over, they are a great resource for this wine ignoramous. When it comes to wine and spirits I have very little knowledge, but the staff here is always helpful. They've never steered me wrong, and they carry good wines and cover all price points. And they have a great selection of gifts for wine drinkers, cute wine gift bags, party extras like crackers, candy, wine buckets, etc. Now for the food...... Their deli is amaze-balls. Awesome sandwiches, salads, soups, cheeses and ready made party food. Their burgers are top notch, but take a time to cook, so place your order and be prepared to wait few minutes. I promise it will be worth it. Their catering is great too. I've ordered most of their menu and have always been impressed. I just love this place. read more

I had the salmon board today for lunch. It was really good! Maybe a little bit overpriced at $18.95 for smoked salmon and some accoutrements, but it was nice to have a keto option. read more

Both locations highly recommended. Actually a great business model. Legendary gourmet wine, spirits and luxury deli items. And terrific on site dining. Place your order in line and await prompt preparation and announced readiness. No limit to what you can order despite popular daily specials and posted menu selections. Great mix of locals, business people, retirees, and visitors. Go, observe, relax, partake, enjoy. read more

Bait and switch. Martin sent out an email promoting a certain fine wine at a great price. I ordered it and two other bottles. Somehow their computer system cannot perform simple arithmetic. It was on inventory until I spent money on something else. Once they had my order for two more bottles, suddenly the advertised wine could not be found. Don't order on line front Martin. You will never get that which was promised. read more

My hubby was looking for Diesel alcohol (I told him that name sounds bad for you ) for a tincture he is making. Martin's had it for half the price as other big name stores. While we were there I did some shopping too. I mean 2020 got me wanting some of my favorite vodkas. They didn't have Ciroc but I did get Ketel One. Y'all they have a clearance rack at the back of store!! I needed a good excuse to restock my wine rack!!! I even squeezed in a bit of holiday shopping for my favorite humans! I think they will be happy with their gifts. Oh, and they have pocket size bottles too, ya know, in case your traveling for the holidays..... read more

Great place for all of your wine and spirits needs! Examples of the great service I've seen - * The store employees are super knowledgeable, especially compared to other shops in the area, and give really good recommendations. * Bottles are to be fairly priced as well, at retail or fairly above their cost of goods. * I've asked for specific items they don't currently have in stock, and if possible they've offered to track them down for me. I'll be coming back for all of my bourbon shopping in New Orleans. read more

Expected a little more toppings after 35 minutie wait on a salad. Granted this was probably not my salad. It was just taken off the counter after I asked for an update on my order and shoveled into a container by a counter girls bear hands(witch was fairly disgusting to watch after she was just touching phones, and money.)This box of plain lettuce that cost me 13$ will be going into the trash. VER highly recommend hiring a manager or expo. read more

The day after Christmas, my mother and I came for lunch. As you can imagine, Martin Wine & Spirits was packed. How refreshing it was to find the entire waitstaff from the wine store to the deli so helpful, accommodating, and happy. Our food was delicious and all areas were so neat and clean. Again, let me say this was the day "after" Christmas. One would expect everyone and every commercial venue to be out of order... not here. That's Impressive and didn't go unnoticed. Kudos to you and your team! read more

The Reuben is as good as any that I have had in the City. Lots of corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut-nicely grilled on rye. It takes a big appetite to finish in one setting. Great sandwich. read more

I have been here a handful of times. Looking for appetizers and finger foods, a special cheese, wine or champagne. They have a large variety with everything well labeled and sectioned off. Employees seem friendly enough. I have eaten at their deli and that is pretty good also. No cheap Boones Farm to be purchased here. Everything seems reasonably priced and everything is neat, clean and well organized. read more

Martin Wine Cellar is well known for their great selection of reasonably priced wines and higher quality vintages. There is also quite a few reviews on their great lunches. We've now stopped in several times with friends on Friday nights to take advantage of Martin's for Dinner. You have to plan on eating early as they close at 8 pm. But that isn't a big deal for us. Both my wife and I are partial to the Californian sandwich, which is turkey, Havarti cheese, avocado, and sprouts on creole mustard in a toasted wheat pita. It almost sounds healthy. It's also very good. The Executive club is another good choice. The Steamboat is a large sandwich on an onion roll stacked with corn beef, ham, and bacon. I tried the Hamburger I had read so much about. I don't know if was dinner rather than lunch time, but it just didn't live up to expectations. But I didn't let that one experience ruin the review. So far, all the named sandwiches have been great. When we know we're going out later, we've had the cheese and fruit plate. They rotate the cheese so it's a different plate each week. Each time I buy the plate, I generally end up getting one or two cheeses I've never tried before. And that is what dining out is all about. Martin's offers several small plates as part of their dinner menu. Friends like the seared tuna, but I haven't tried it yet. I trust their judgment when it comes to tuna. There is also a small pizza on the nightly menu. It's one choice and it changes every week. The one pizza I ordered was a mushroom and veggie combo (meatless) on a thin crispy crust. Very light sauce. You have the option of soft drinks with the meal. Or you can wander out into the retail area and pick out (and buy) a bottle of wine to go with your dinner. I take advantage of this option and we have a bottle with dinner. And compared to what wine would cost in a restaurant, I get a tremendous upgrade in the quality of the wine. They have a nice dessert counter. I stand there and look at the various cakes, pastries, and pies... all crying my name, tempting me. It's such a hard decision, until that jealous glass of wine beckons me back to the table. And I drink my carbs... The prices are very competitive. Customer Service is great. read more

Loved it!!! Went for lunch and some browsing through the beautiful wines and spirits. The food was so fresh and the service was friendly and prompt. I loved being able to enjoy a glass of Cava with my lunch. We'll be back when we're back in town. read more

I've eaten and purchased wine at Martin's for years. I'm still sad they haven't reopened the deli Uptown again since Katrina but I still go to the Metairie location often to eat. They usually have multiple specials for lunch everyday. Over many years I think there was only one special I didn't like and it was due to just a bad and tough piece of meat that was a fluke. I have to say I did an experiment with eating the "Healthy" lunch option for 3 months and I actually gained weight so it is healthy in a New Orleans dining sense but not for the size of the belly :) They always have a great selection of wine, beer, and liquor with some very knowledgeable people to assist you. They have an amazing deli counter with all sorts of tasty looking desserts and food choices. They also have an entirely separate deli counter for a selection of some great cheeses. They also have a great sandwich and salad selection. Martin's also has pretty good & large burger that they fresh grind (so expect to wait at least 20 minutes for it) and they usually have a different daily burger special during lunch. I also enjoy the Sunday brunch here with the only complaint that I've heard is that they usually don't have bloody Mary's. The Metairie location has a decent size parking lot but it fills up fast around lunch. On really crowded days it can be hard to find a place to sit and they sometimes run out of silverware so there can be a bit of a wait. The best bet is to get there before the noon rush so you can enjoy yourself. read more

I love this place! I had actually been here one time for a wine tasting and it was an awesome experience! When Covid hit I actually started following them on Instagram and come to find out I saw that they did curbside pick up! It was so easy to order, their prices are so reasonable for delicious wine and the processing/ pick up time was excellent. I am still not sure if they're still offering curbside but for a mom it makes it so convenient. This way I'm safe, baby is safe and mom still gets her wine! I have heard that their deli is amazing, will have to look into picking up lunch one day ! read more

The prosciutto brie and fig compote sandwich on sourdough was divine today. Martin's was wonderful as always.Sally F.

Amazing sandwiches and fabulous selections !!! It's the perfect place to grab a great lunch and goodies for after
