I cannot tell you a time that I have stayed in the Quarter and not got a Po Boy here. We often stock the house with coffee, milk, gator aid, water and munchies with a stop here. Hot sandwiches and grilled cheese are great after drinking food. read more

The younger girl very cool and helpful. The older blonde lady is def. over it and it shows. The food was really really good and I could die if we had something that good and comforting here! read more

Quartermaster AKA Nellie Deli is my favorite spot to stumble into after a night in the quarter. Its a cool little convenience store on the quiet end of Bourbon Street and has surprisingly good food in the back (it reminds me a lot of Verti Marte in that respect). They're fast and won't put up with your shit if you're not ready to order haha. My favorite item on their menu is the Reuben which has been the best I've tasted in New Orleans so far, but this time around I went with the chicken fried steak on french bread. The sandwich comes dressed along with country gravy and I added provolone to it. Its odd because you wouldn't think all these ingredients work well with each other, but they do. I always recommend this place when it comes up and so I will do the same with you anonymous reader, check this place out! It will renew your faith in New Orleans after you're friends from out of town drag you to Bourbon for the 5 millionth time to get shit-faced. read more

Quartermaster Store - Chicken Fried Steak on French Bread - Convenience Stores Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Great little place on bourbon to grab a bite. A changing selection of specials. A local spot for sure!

This place is one of the French Quarter's greasy spoon grills. The grill is in the back of a rather grimy convenience store that sells cigarettes and some groceries. The burger is quite good, but I prefer Verti Marte for sandwiches because VM seems a bit -a bit- cleaner. read more

Got delivery. Food was good. Woman on the phone was polite. Delivery guy was quick and polite. Not bad for a 7am order on New Years Day.

What's to complain about? They never close and neither does their kitchen. The food is good and ready fast and nothing seems overpriced. They manage to cram a surprising amount of offerings in a small space. You need liquor, cat-food, and a po-boy at 5am? They've got you covered. read more

Great food. Love their turkey burgers and chicken and dumplings special on Saturday nights. Most of the staff is very nice, except for the older, snobby, rude blonde woman who works in the afternoons. Her horrible attitude and lack of customer service make me not even go in there when she's working. Matassa's gets my business instead on those occasions. No one to complain about her to, since the "owner" is never around. Too bad because everyone else is great, especially the woman with the curly, dark hair who works at night. read more

Food is good but the SERVICE is TERRIBLE. When I was told that you can not pay with card for delivery I apologized for not knowing the woman taking my order cursed at me. Bitching is not the way to get customers to return. How was I supposed to know that cards weren't accepted? This is Sunday, July 12, 2015 read more

This video is at the quarter master store on the corner of ursaline and bourbon in New Orleans. They have very good late night food and I order from them maybe 3 times a week over the last 3-4 years. I've never had any problems until today. I tried to place a delivery order over the phone and I was told that I didn't pay a past bill as well as didn't answer my phone for a sandwich order I placed a week ago and that I couldn't order from them any more. I called back to apologize and fix the problem even though I know for a fact that I didn't receive my order or a phone call that day so I just ordered somewhere else. The woman continued to hang up on my when I called back and tried to pay the bill and pick up an order instead. I then physically went to the quartermaster right after to see if the attitude and rudeness would continue as well as to correct the problem because I love their food and this was the result. I am from Michigan so I favor certain places and this is no longer one of them. I was also threaten soon after she found that I was recording her. She kept telling me to "watch myself closely or else" I really wish I could make this up but this woman used to be so sweet. I have two videos. I really wish this sweet older lady acted as such. I was told in the video "you can't even buy water from here anymore" as you will hear in the video. I'm simply posting this as an awareness. I'm scared to actually talk to a manager because I feel as though they may act the same as well or worst so I'm going to go with someone with me as a witness. I just wanted a sandwich... read more

Food. Was. Dank. I've been here on two occasions. The first, some time at night while slightly buzzed, and the second time, completely sober in the middle of the afternoon. I had a great experience on both occasions. I'm not really sure what people are expecting. It's a deli. Do you want them to chew up the food and feed it to you, baby-bird style? Do you want them to hold your hand and wipe your ass too? So they're not oozing charisma and friendliness. So what? I didn't encounter any surliness or rudeness of any sort, even when I went after midnight and waited for my sandwich in a sea of drunk-o's. And even if you're oh so sad because they didn't smile at you, the food makes up for it. It's deli food. I'm not sure if everyone understands that when they enter this place. I also don't get why you'd penalize a business for being cash only. How is it the business's fault that you don't have any cash on you? Stop being snobby, y'all. Can't wait to go back. read more

The service is horrible. I refuse to every spend money here again. 100% due to very rude service. The lady taking my order made me feel like I was bothering her. She was barking at me and I don't know why anyone would allow such a rotten person to work in customer service. Which is too bad because the food is great! read more

If you decide to wait in line long enough, and follow all of the ridiculous arbitrary rules to a T, and don't get grossed out by the rough-around-the-edges (to put it politely) look of the place, you might actually get some food, and if you are so lucky, you'll probably enjoy it. The food is actually good, which is why I gave this place two stars instead of one. The reason I gave this place ONLY two stars though, is because from my experience here, the people that run this place (the ones I encountered anyway) are absolute pieces of shit. Sorry, but they are. Look, I'm from Chicago. I have a thick skin. Blunt people that want things a certain way don't bother me. In fact, I respect people like that to a certain extent. And listen, I get it. The restaurant industry can be a bitch in general, but I'm sure that, given their location, they've got to deal with some exceptionally obnoxious, real code red Grade A douche bags at this place from time to time, and I'm sure it gets stressful and whatnot. But when you threaten to kick me out of your shop for "talking in line" like I was waiting for entrance into some prison camp, when all I'm trying to do is purchase a damn sandwich, then you can go fuck yourself. And yes, that actually happened, and no, I wasn't drunk at the time; just trying to be friendly with the local in line behind me. So in conclusion, the food is pretty decent here, especially when it's late at night, but at the same time, you're in New Orleans. You can find decent food in the gutter. So save yourself the trouble, and find food somewhere else. Trust me. The rats in this place are treated with more respect than the customers. read more

5 Stars for the excellent late night staff. Doug (guy with du-rag) was very helpful in assisting me with a proper cookie selection. Doug consistently maintains high inventory levels of all Pepperidge Farm products. Doug is no amateur when it comes to late night snacking. I appreciate the assistance and look forward to seeing you soon. read more

This place was our highlight while staying in New Orleans. We went here a couple of times and got delivery once. The delivery is free but you do need to tip the driver. The food here was the best that we had while in New Orleans. The kitchen itself is kind of scare but you need to just ignore that as the food is awesome. We had a variety of things to eat here and everything was delicious. We can't recommend one certain thing as it was all equally delicious. We would highly recommend anyone visiting New Orleans to stop by this deli as it was great. read more

The food is amazing, and in my opinion, worth some of the abuse you get from the staff, with exception to the young men back in the kitchen...they are pleasant. I make it a point to come here everytime I visit this wonderful city. As someone who has been coming here for the last 12 years, the sass you get from the counter was just cuter when it came from a drawing on the menu board. Cook may be a bitter bitch, but she knows what she is doing! read more

In New Orleans on a tight budget? Make your way here to The Quarter Master (AKA The Nellie Deli.) In New Orleans with a larger food allowance? STILL find this place. First, the employees were great ... very friendly, colorful as can only be found in New Orleans, and seemed to be genuinely happy to have us there. I had the Roast Beef French bread sandwich ... with extra gravy ($7.25), and really regretted that I couldn't eat it all ... it was huge. Then, there was the home made chocolate cake ... and that was chunk of delight too. Well, then there was the olive salad ... which was a large enough portion for three people to enjoy. Oh, wait. I also had the mac-n-cheese, which was gooey goodness. What can I say? I simply could not decide! The fact is, it's been three weeks since I returned from New Orleans, and the entire experience at this deli was so good that as I'm looking over the menu, I'm having flash backs. I enjoyed the food, the staff, and finding this neat little place. It's cash only, but you won't need much of it, and there's an ATM right there for your convenience. When next I return to New Orleans,I'm already planning to stop by (or have the food delivered!) It's just that good. read more

Literally the rudest lady answered the phone and was so short and snappy with me and I was looking for the exact address to my hotel for delivery service and it was about 30 seconds and she said "you can just call back when you actually have the address, ok bye" and hung up?? What kind of customer service is that? Needless to say I didn't call back and order from there and they will never have my business. read more

Hard to believe, but this place has the best burger in all of New Orleans. Make sure you get Jerry to make it, and make sure you ask him about his burger philosophy. Bitter and salty tastes on bottom, below the meat, sweet and tangy tastes on top -- the order in which each ingredient hits your tongue is orchestrated in painstaking detail to maximize the joy of eating. After all that, make sure you pay with exact change, so the horrifically unpleasant woman at the register doesn't try to shortchange you like she did to me the past 3 times I've been in there. read more

I spend a lot of time at in the French Quarter. Yes, the store is old and dirty. For about a year I would only go in there when absolutely necessary, to grab a bottle of water or wine or something. Then I was in bed recovering from a terrible cold, and a friend brought me a turkey sandwich. It was to die for! I almost did die for real, however, when my friend told me where he bought it. But, I was hooked. So I went in and took a good look and realized the food prep area is not dirty at all. (You can see it over the counter.) And I watched closely. They adhere to all food safety handling procedures. I have eaten from here (usually delivery which miraculously seems to arrive by bike messenger as you are still disconnecting the phone) dozens of times now and it has never disappointed. The food is simply awesome- although my fave is still a cold turkey on poor boy roll. As for the multiple comments about the employees being surly or rude - this a a a"locals" spot catering to its neighborhood. It happens to be plopped o the edge of one of the largest tourist attractions in the US, but its bread and butter (or perhaps mayonaise) is locals. Go in at lunch time and you will find crowds of construction workers from all of the French Quarter renovation projects, in the a.m. local seniors walking dogs picking up breakfast, etc. The employees here definitely do not go out of their way to make small talk with tourists. They are guarded and having seen all manner of ridiculousness, are justified (by my own observations) of expecting the worst. if you are pleasant, they are beyond nice in return. If you go in drunk or overly loud or in a huge rush - well, don't expect an overabundance of tolerance. But you will still get an overabundance of whatever you order - CHEAP! read more

I did some research before I came to N.O. for a five-night visit, and stumbled upon reviews of Nellie Deli. Some think it's the cat's meow, others think it worse than going to the Tower of London to get beheaded. I had to experience it for myself! Yesterday I went and had the special of the day, which was shrimp creole. Believe me when I tell you it was delicious. I went right outside and wolfed it down on the top of a plastic trash bin (since signs say you can't eat on steps). It came with two slices of fresh, buttered bread, and one side; I chose macaroni salad, which was the best I've ever eaten. I was so impressed that I went back again today for lunch. This time I got the bacon cheeseburger, and I can honestly say it was the best cheeseburger I have ever had in my entire life. This place is the best. I don't know why some people think the people who work here are rude; they were perfectly pleasant to me. I've already recommended this place to a friend who'll be visiting N.O. later this month. read more
