    grilled cheese and potato soup
    Maia B.

    ever since hurricane ida (august of 2021) this location has been closed and it's now FINALLY open on the inside. i have a few issues with this location. the inside has many tables with their chairs on top of it not for use for some reason. and when they finally brought my food out the waitress SLAMMED it all on the table. besides that, though, the food was pretty good and their sweet tea is actually amazing.

    WORST McAlister's experience EVER! If I could give zero stars, I would! I ordered the Avocado BLT with side of mac & cheese to go and it was disgusting. The macaroni was ice cold, like they just took it out of the fridge/freezer, put it in a bowl, and served it. The BLT did not have a single whole slice of bacon on it, just a few burnt crumbles, no avocado at all and the bread wasn't toasted. All of this AFTER I had to wait 30 minutes past the scheduled pickup time!

    First noticed the extremely sticky dirty front counter, then went to go find a seat but was nearly impossible because all of their tables were disgusting. Then...went to drink my sweet tea. It was unsweet. Proceeded to go up there to change it out to sweet tea. Still unsweet. Had to go back up to get it changed again.. asked for no black olives on spud, had black olives all over spud. Probably won't come back. Kenner location is better.

    My husband and I always order two different sandwiches and then share! The carrot cake is good, too!

    Good was tasty and fresh! Employees were friendly, including the supervisor who appeared to be training a new employee.

This fun joint also provides a good choice of daily specials. You walk in and get in line then start looking at the menu and checking out the daily specials to decide what you will eat. The ambiance is very interesting with food items all over the place like a little tightly packed grocery store. This spot is VERY popular which leads to the biggest problem here which is parking. The parking here is very limited and it is a bit of a challange to get in and out of the parking lot. Many people say this is their favorite spot to eat and it seems a lot of folks come here nearly daily to get their World Deli fix taken care of. Overall you have a lot of great options and they have enough variety that most folks should find something that will make them happy.

My MIL brought me here for the first time in '93 and she and her friends still come for lunch a few times a month as do most people who've lived here their whole life. Parking is tight but don't let that keep you away from the World. Yesterday, I went in for meatballs and red sauce but quickly took a detour when I saw the daily special, Crawfish Monica. If you're visiting for the first time, crawfish or shrimp Monica is a local favorite that's getting harder to find on restaurant menus partly because every family has their own version of this special party dish. The Monica special was outstanding. I got a plate full of spicy crawfish cream sauce mixed with rotini pasta, a side of spiced corn and garlic bread, enough for lunch and a midnight snack. I also couldn't pass up the shrimp remoulade salad for my lunch the next day. The shrimp were seasoned, the romaine greens were fresh, and the remoulade dressing was a knockout. If you're not feeling like a hot plate special, World Deli has a big list of sandwiches and poboys that are super popular, as well. But whatever you decide, don't skip out on dessert. This is one of the few local sandwich spots with a homemade dessert menu as big as the sandwich one and these desserts cater to the local palate. Yesterday they had plain cheesecake, cheesecake with cherry sauce, Tuscan cream cake, rum cake, pineapple upside down cake, wedding cake, pralines, and tiramisu. Don't ever pass up the rum cake in Louisiana. If you're in town for the weekend and have access to a fridge, buy some spinach artichoke dip and crab stuffed mushrooms from the ready-prep fridge for a late night snack. This place is the real deal. Stop in and see where y'at.
