Great food, good service, very friendly, and treat you like family . Great red sause, great roast beef, great pizza,

1st time there. Good selection of sandwiches, salads and plate lunches. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I had the chef salad. It was standard but was fresh and was very good. I asked for extra blue cheese and she delivered! My friend had the chicken wrap that she enjoyed. We split an order of onion rings. Hand cut and battered. Were very good! Waitress was super friendly. The owner came over to say hi because we were lingering just talking and hanging out. He was really nice and didnt try to rush us out. I enjoyed the background music, was 60,70,80's classics. I can't wait to go back, sorry I waited so long to try this place. read more

Nice casual restaurant/bar near Barnes and Noble. At lunch one of the specials was a pulled pork sandwich, which was delicious. All 3 meals were very good. Great service,too. Great place to grab a quick bite if you are in the area. read more

Food was excellent. Really enjoyed all they had to offer. I had meatballs and spaghetti. It was hot and delicious. The meatball were large, very meaty and the sauces was what mom use to meals. read more

I had passed by the street many times but never noticed Spitale's Deli so once i did notice we decided to try takeout. We ordered the eggplant parmesan poboy - which was very good; the grilled shrimp poboy, also goo; the cheese fries, which were decent; and the onion rings, which were average overall, decent size poboys with good flavor read more

Red beans and rice . Amazing . I got it delivered to me through Uber eats . Best I've had in a long time . There was a choice between hot sausage or smoked . I chose the hot sausage patty . It was incredibly delicious. .. I'm Definitely going to try other options . read more

The patty Melt is a great meal for lunch. 10/10 And customer service is amazing. The ambiance is family oriented read more

The allure of a small local deli only open during lunch hours has a quintessential American quality to it. While Spitale's gets that atmosphere down pat, unfortunately, it doesn't deliver on the culinary side. Spitale's Deli and Catering in Metairie prides itself on its presentation. A small, cute locale, the diner's welcoming aura definitely makes it stand out in a crowd of NOLA area sandwich shops. That being said, the food definitely did not live up to Big Easy standards. I ordered the "dirty turkey" sandwich and it tasted very bland and very wet. The fries that came with it didn't taste all that bad but they were nothing to sing praises about either. If you're looking for a decent sandwich experience, Spitale's covers it, but I'd have to reccomend a variety of other deli's in the city first before I'd mention this one. read more

Came here with a local flavor coupon. Was not disappointed. The place looks small and dated from the outside but it is actually pretty decent inside. Its clean and spacious. It wasnt crowded during lunch...maybe 3 to 4 other customers. There is a bar centered in the space. They have seating at the bar and tables off to the right and past the bar. Plenty of seating is available. The lady behind the bar is very nice and knowledgeable. She handed us laminated menus and gave us a detailed run down of specials and info on the menu. We went with 9"roast beef poboy and cheeseburger combo with 2 drinks. It was good guys. The roast beef was just juicy enough to drip on the tray but not make a sloppy mess. They make their own roast beef, btw. The gravy probably could have used a bit more salt but still not bad at all. The cheeseburger was a nice size. About the size of a whopper. Definitely tasted better than a whopper and juicy too. We rate it a 6.5 on a scale of 10. The fries were thick crinkle cut and fried well. The sweet tea wasn't that sweet and I didn't see any splenda. Luckily, I carry the sweetener on me. Free refills too! Bathroom was really clean and kept. Thats always a plus. Tvs all around and they played music. Just a good atmosphere. Seats were a bit hard on the butt (and I have a lot of cushion). Overall, this place is worth the visit. Food is good. Service is knowledgeable and sweet. If you use splenda, you might want to bring your own. USE LOCAL FLAVOR COUPON read more

I think that I found my new favorite lunch spot in Metairie! I love that they have lunch specials everyday. We went on a Monday and had the red beans with rice lunch special. It was a nice large serving. The smoked sausage was delicious! It made the dish. It came with two pieces of garlic bread and a salad. The bread was tasty and the salad was good. I opted for their house dressing. It was very yummy. I ordered an ice tea. They gave me a nifty plastic to go cup with their logo. I totally dug that. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The decor was fun. Very New Orleans! The place was clean. The TVs were much appreciated. I will be back! read more

Stopped in here to get a bite to eat while my car was at Delta World Tire. Tried the spaghetti and meatballs. Food was very good and it was enough for me and my daughter to share. Place was very clean and nice on the inside. Staff was very friendly. Looks like a local hidden spot. $18 for a spaghetti and meatballs, bread, and two fountain drinks. read more

Awful customer service from the manager. Spoke over the phone about an Uber Eats order and he could not stop interrupting me. He ended up hanging up on me. read more

This is the first place my family goes whenever we go to New Orleans (where my moms from) they have our favorite meatball subs of anywhere (we like them with provolone and extra gravy) and usually we'll try to get it twice during our visit. Their roast beef sandwiches and debris fries are also really good. read more

Sandwiches and salad dressing were great. Very garlicky. They catered another homebuilders association meeting. read more

First time at Spital's. Nice clean inside, has a great vibe to it. Staff very friendly. Ordered the a Philly steak and cheese it was very good. I enjoyed it on the French bread also ,tasted the roast beef it had a great flavor beef was tender and the dressing mayo, lettuce with gravy was perfect. I looked over the daily specials and peeked at peoples plates. Everything looks home made with a nice size portion. I must say the prices are very reasonable. Will go back to try the meatballs.... also Baked chicken sounded delicious read more

Spitale's Deli - Great place for lunch - New American Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

They make the best chef salad I've ever eaten. It's huge and topped with ample amounts of turkey and ham. The house dressing is also one of the best. We've had many salads from here and never been disappointed. read more

1st time stopping in and the place was super clean, people are great! I had the combo poboy and it was delicious!! I will be back.

The new location is AMAZING!! Check it out right next to Barnes & Noble. Same great food and customer service. PLUS the new Caesar wrap is to die for! YUMMMM read more

Got a chicken parm sandwich, two bags of chips, and a mac and cheese from uber eats to split. The sandwich was way to small to split. Especially for 17 dollars. Chicken was even smaller. Average flavor at best. Only received one of the bags of chips. The mac and cheese was decent and was free due to a online deal so that was good. Won't order from here again. read more

Excellent food & service. Parking can be a problem, but that's rare from our experience.

Very over priced. $20 for a 6inch meatball sandwich with 2 meatballs on it. $1.25 for a 2oz cup of salad dressing.

This place is my hidden gem in Metairie. Food is fantastic, and the owner is a great guy. Reminds me of places I used to hang out in Boston. Highly recommend this place to everyone who loves good food! Great bar selection as well read more

We visited today for our first time, and it was great! We started with the fried pickles which were fried to a perfect crisp. I got the philly steak and cheese poboy, and it was huge, loaded with steak and onions, and delicious. The food came out quick and everyone was so friendly! read more

I have given glowing reviews of Spitale's before this one. We picked up our order instead of eating in. The meatball Poboy was good. Next time, I will request they toast the bread. On a hot humid day like today, it's just too gummy. I asked that mozzarella cheese be added, but it wasn't. No big deal, though. We also ordered fries. Well, they were horrible. They were tiny pieces of crinkle cut fries. They were fried to a dark brown and had a burned oil taste. I never usually eat ketchup on fries, but it was definitely needed to make them taste better. I hope to be able to write a better review next time. read more

Amazing food and super sweet staff ! I got the roast beef poboy and husband got the muffuletta. Both were super tastee! Sampled their house dressing and now headed to Rousses grocery store to purchase!! read more

Stopped in today at lunch to check out the new place. Happy to see the old favorites still there. On the Menu and in the Kitchen. Had the Homemade Lasagna and it didn't disappoint in any way. If you are in the area you should stop by for lunch or dinner. Have Fun! read more

We sat at the bar for lunch, and the server was friendly and welcoming. We both decided to order the Phillly Cheesesteak sandwich (we never normally order the same thing). Probably a Philly native may say it's not a true cheesesteak, but we both enjoyed it very much. Good flavor and served piping hot. Nice casual restaurant. read more

Went there yesterday with three others for lunch. First visit...now I must say I eat lunch out at least 4 times a week and the food was so very delicious. I am so sorry we didn't take any pictures but we had two Fergies, a hamburger steak lunch and debris ff's with cheese. Our cold drinks were served in wonderful cups..great smiling person behind the bar who greeted us, great food..I'm hooked read more

Roast beef sandwich is above average and "the dirty bird", featuring turkey, rb gravy and grilled onions is quite good. Located on a block w/ a lot of construction supply houses and you kinda get the feeling you're in a supply house for po-boys when you're here. Been here about 10 or so times and never had a reason to complain. read more

Spitale's Deli is a typical, hidden lunch place for the local businesses. They are family-owned and operated. You order your food at the counter, pick it up, and find your seat cafeteria style. They have really good po boys and their bread is soft - just the way I love it. If you're in Metairie looking for a low-key place to grab lunch, you won't get much better than Spitale's Deli. Their portions are generous, and you can get po boys in all the different sizes for satisfying whichever appetite you bring. Their website - http://www.spitalesdeli.com/ - is fancier than their dining location. But, their food tops all. Solid four stars for great food. As I try more of their selection, I can see a five star update coming in the future. Business Hours (always important): Mon-Fri from 10am to 3pm Saturday from 10am to 1:30pm. read more

The guys at Spitales are always friendly. We like to get the Dirty Turkey poboy from here. It's really yummy. We have tried their other poboys and they are alright. Their house salad dressing is excellent. We would come here more often but the hours are really limited. read more

First time here! Roast beef poboy is awesome! One of the best I have ever had! Nice and messy! The hostess Ruth was very polite, very professional! Kept smiling! Will be back! read more

We stopped in for lunch after making the turn to cut through to pass up traffic, so glad we did. I had the roast beef and she had the dirty turkey and we shared the dirty fries. Great friendly atmosphere and the service was really fast. Will definitely return. read more

I had lunch here today and had a fantastic turkey and swiss poboy. The bread was delicious. The cooks/staff were super friendly; they knew many of the patrons by name. It felt like a real neighborhood place*. They also take orders online which surprised me. *It's a little hard to find, so map it out first. read more

If you're looking for a friendly greeting or happy staff, keep driving. The "gentleman" behind the counter may or may not be the owner, but he's a gruff, unfriendly jerk. That having been said, the menu from Charlie's Deli is still great - the roast beef po-boy, The Moon, and the shrimp po-boy are still some of the best around. Just don't expect service with a smile, a please or a thank you. read more

We are in New Orleans for a wedding and had to return the tux after. We wanted a muffuletta so we tried it here. It was very good! The debris fries were delicious and the service was great! Highly recommend! Great food, great service and nice escape from the tourist trap of the French Quarter. read more

Short on decor but long on flavor. I had a fantastic shrimp Po boy that was huge for a "regular" size. The decor is old school with emphasis on old, but the staff is friendly, the food is excellent and the price is fair. read more
