Met my Brother here with my Son. One of my Nephews was here also. Later my Niece and other Nephew joined. I've eaten at the Village Deli in The Village District in Raleigh many times and alway had a great experience. The Wake Forest restaurant is the same quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was a great place to meet. Plenty of parking and lots of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter and they call you when your orders ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside in a covered area; it was a beautiful day. All areas are kept clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had chicken salad on a croisant--delicious. Village Deli also has fresh cut lemons for iced tea. Great experience--I'll be back! read more

Village Deli and Grill - Delis Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Village Deli is one of my favorite spots in the triangle. Everything I have had here hits that sweet spot of comforting food that feels like a home recipe. And the burgers are shockingly good. My favorite is the patty melt. Check it out! read more

This restaurant quite literally astounded me. First of all, the cashier Jayne was especially helpful when ordering. She had the most friendly aura about her and I just knew that I could trust her with my order. Secondly, the food was absolutely delectable. I tore that sandwich up like it was my last meal. Overall, this place was absolutely amazing and I will surely be returning in the near future. read more

I had such a wonderful experience. Great food and great customer service, especially the worker Jayne. Such a great help when ordering and kind soul. read more

At first when we passed Village Deli and Grill it looked like a place that would have sit down table service however when we got there we then learned it's a bit more casual, you order at the counter, they give you a buzzer and then you come pick up your food when it's ready. They have indoor & outdoor seating which is nice and a large menu which is also amazing. My husband isn't a "sandwich/deli" guy so I'm glad they have other things that he can eat as well! All of the food was good but let's get to the desserts.... To die for... honestly I am going to have to go get another slice of that lemon blueberry cake this week. They said that all of the desserts are made in house which is always great! For sure will be back to try more of the menu! read more

The food is good. However, the prices you see on the menu is not what you will pay. Now the prices are fairly high already but the menus are not current. So when they ring you out expect to pay 10-15 percent more. Also, don't bother complaining about it. The manager will let you there is jurying she can do. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Apparently, she can't turn up the thermostat either when asked. most of the patrons were wearing winter coats and blowing into their hands. Manager shrugged that off as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I usually order online and they fill my order properly. Food is on point. Always ready on time. One of my favorites in Wake Forest.

Food is fine however...service was horrible. Front girls treated us with no respect! When asked for a burger without all the fixings on it for my picky child we were met with the response "so what do you even want on it?" Unfortunately, we forgot to order one thing and had to relive the experience except this time we were blatantly ignored. My daughter was in line and was abandoned as soon as it was her turn to order, it took me walking over there for us to get a petty "someone will be with you shortly." [[HIGHLIGHT]]So sad such a cute and homey building is run by negligent and rude people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Village Deli and Grill - Southwest fried chicken sandwich - Delis Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Menu said the Philly was $12.50. Dude rang it up and it said $14. Apparently they raised prices (which were already high for a below avg sized sammy) but forgot to update the menu. Food is okay but won't be back. RIP OFF! read more

Before I state my complaint, I will say I do love this place. However my most recent visit I ordered a Rueben sandwich with onion rings and a bottle of water and it was $20... plus 3% credit card fee and then an ask for a tip afterwards. I doubt I will be back.... read more

Haven't been here in a few years, now I remember why. They were very busy on a Sunday at 1:30 pm, however, after being in business for many years, you'd think the kinks would be worked out. Nope. Ordered a house salad with grilled chicken and asked if I could please add hard boiled eggs, was told sure, paid for eggs. Also ordered turkey sandwich with fries. Sat at a table and realize the employee never got our name, so had to stand in pick up line and wait (again) to add our name to our ticket... Sit down again, wait about 15 minutes, call our order. Food was subpar at best. They did not add the eggs to my salad (paid for them), my friend said her turkey sandwich was completely bland and none of it had flavor. Also, it's not very relaxing to be out dining with friends and constantly have peoples names screamed out - the atmosphere in here has changed in recent years. Did I mention these two lousy lunches totaled $33? Waste of money. Better salad at Zaxby's drive thru! Think we're done with Village Deli. read more

Village Deli and Grill - No eggs and way overpriced - Delis Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

The fish and chips is suprisingly on point. The sandwhiches can be pedestrian though. I've always found them to be a little dry/bland. The chili always hits the spot. read more

Always a great place to grab a bite to eat whether it's the tuna melt, their salad sampler or the chicken salad wrap, it's always been great. The pricing runs a bit higher than your run of the mill sandwich shops, but you definitely get what you pay for in terms of quality. read more

excellent service and bussin chicken t's. Apparently it needs to be 85 characters so everyone go follow the iron bros

Outstanding Sunday special at Village Deli. Saw a promo online with this description: One buttery fluffy Belgian waffle is made fresh and topped with our all natural chicken that is fried to a golden brown crisp. Dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of syrup. I mean... my mouth started watering before I finished the first sentence. And... It lived up to the description. Beautiful waffle, freshly made. Plump, moist, juicy chicken breast dredged in lightly spiced flour, deep fried crunchy brown. The perfect mid afternoon meal. read more

Their sandwiches are awesome and they pile on the meat. Have had their Rubin sandwich several times and never been disappointed. From ordering to serving they are fast, efficient and get it right every time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can eat inside and watch the news or weather on tv or sit on their terrace and enjoy the day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are great! read more

I wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the customer service service wasn't great and my order was inaccurate. I placed a to-go order online for lunch on a weekday since I was craving a sandwich. I parked out front and walked inside to retrieve my order. They have a sign indicating to pick up orders at the cash register. When I arrived there was no one at the cash register and a wall blocked the employees assembling meals from seeing me. They all seemed very busy so I waited for an employee to return to the register. Eventually an employee walked over and noticed me. I gave her my name and she handed me my order. When I got to work I realized I received the homemade chicken salad rather than the California chicken salad so it was missing the walnuts, apples, and cucumbers. Plus the bread wasn't toasted as requested. Not having the correct sandwich was disappointing especially since I paid $14 for it. The sandwich tasted okay and I enjoyed the sweet potato fries. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, but at least it filled me up. read more

It's hit or miss with the quality and quantity of food. We've been going to the Wake Forest location for many years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a nice outdoor seating area and staff are courteous.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, the food is not always as described, and portions can be skimpy, particularly the California chicken sandwich and BLTs. Having eaten at the Lake Boone Trail and Cameron Village locations, I know they could offer a better sandwich for the same price. Chicken gyro is so good, but I was very disappointed with the steak gyro. It was supposed to be sliced sirloin, but it was minced meat, so heavily spiced with chili powder and cumin that I couldn't taste the meat. read more

This is food you can prepare at home quickly on your own and most likely better. I had a veggie sandwich on chibatta bread and it was prepared as of my mom rushed it together for my school lunch. There was nothing special about this meal and not worth the $12. There are many other options in the area. The food is fine, but don't go out of your way read more

I love this place. Everything looks amazing, but I almost always end up ordering the Grilled Cajun Shrimp Wrap and Sweet Potato Fries. Both are outstanding. read more

Food typically good but bought a couple of pieces of cake for Christmas Eve celebration. Very stale. Disappointing.

The Ruben there is amazing! Haven't had a bad sandwich there tho. The staff is friendly and helpful. Inside area is always clean. Does get busy but is worth it! read more

I had a Reuben there, it was amazing. Full of flavor and moist. The cashier was nice and the building was clean and ambient.

Had a chicken salad wrap, it was ok. $20.00 with gratuity for a wrap and bottled water to go.

Visited today for lunch. Had high hopes. Hubby ordered French dip and I ordered the Po'boy. Disappointing to say the least. French dip was just ok. (Looked dry) Po' boy was shredded lettuce tomato and fried shrimp, dry and bland, no sauce, no nothing. The menu states comes with cole slaw but not really, that was extra (??). One soda total $31.00. A no for a return. read more

Came here for a quick lunch because we wanted sandwiches. Our lunch was WAY overpriced for what we got. $27 for two sandwiches is steep. I got the Avocado Turkey Brie (comes with a standard bag of chips) and my husband got the Reuben, which came with a pickle and he substituted the chips for pasta salad. My sandwich was just blah. It needed more avocado, and flavor all around. My husband liked his sandwich a lot, but couldn't eat the pasta salad because it was too bland. One perk is there are a couple of tables outside to sit at, which is why we chose Village Deli and Grill (dogs in tow). Given the price and quality, this isn't one we would come back to. read more

I just ordered a samich and I asked for extra au jus sauce. they did not disappoint. I was able to double dip. 10/10 would order again.

This is one of my favorite lunch places in Wake Forest. The menu has a good variety of soups, sandwiches, salads, and burgers. My favorite us the pear and gorgonzola salads with chicken. It is fresh and delicious. Their sweet potato fries are also amazing!!! The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. They also have a wonderful assortment of desserts that look delicious. read more

Excellent chicken salad and potato salad. The BEST sweet potato fries I've ever had. All the cakes looked delicious but I chose the pineapple coconut cake which was delightfully refreshing. read more

I am absolutely floored by how I was just treated at WF Village Deli. It used to be such a nice place. I went in today as I was doing some food deliveries. I am out of work full time work right now. I had been waiting about 10 minutes, no big deal, it was lunch and they were very busy. But knowing I would have to serve the drink myself, I went up to ask if I could have the cup so I could go ahead and get that ready. I approached the young lady sending out dine-in food. Before I could get out a word, she rudely said, you have to go over there, meaning the space right next to it. So I went where I was told and again tried to ask for the cup so I could have my customer's order ready to go. Before I could get a whole word out, the lady there started YELLING at me. IT IS RIGHT HERE, I HAVE IT, IT ISNT READY YET. I tried a couple times to again ask the question, but couldnt be heard over her yelling. When I finally got my food, she yelled after me, DON'T EVER COME BACK! Well, dont worry, I never will. read more

I don't usually complain about the price issues. But this last trip was ridiculously expensive for lunchmeat sandwiches. We bought 3 deli meat sandwiches with fries, 3 soft drinks & 1 piece of cake. Our bill was $70! One of the melts was cold. The other looked burnt & skimpy. They have just become way overpriced for less than mediocrity. read more

I really love this place and have been going for years but the things I don't recommend is the chicken tender and burgers, the chicken tenders aren't juicy they are very dry and the burgers are cold and the meat isn't the best. What I would recommend is the panini or fish they are so good the coleslaw and the french fries usually come complimentary and they taste amazing. The service is good unless you go during a pretty busy time they will take 30-40 minutes to take out the food which is long but the food is usually fresh. The setting of the place is beautiful. They have lots of seating inside and outside. If you prefer outside they also have a shading. I would recommend this place. Food is good. If you get what is good workers are really lovely and let you take your time read more

I recently ordered the California Chicken Salad sandwich at the Wake Forest location. The sandwich comes with sliced apples, cucumbers and walnuts. A better name is the cumber and apple sandwich with a little chicken salad. There was a very thin layer of chicken salad on each slice of bread with a lot of apples and cucumbers in the middle. I have had the same sandwich at the Village Deli location in Cameron Village and it was a real chicken salad sandwich. Too expensive for what I was given. read more

I'd always enjoyed their food until Monday evening. Ordered through DoorDash . Delivery was great. The food? SO salty that I actually had to toss it out. I don't know whether the pulled chicken is normally a salty dish but it seemed to be coated in salt. I tried just scraping it off the panini to no avail. Hopefully it was just an off night. read more

Nice decor, including works of art for sale by a local artist. The restaurant is self-serve. Menus are available as you enter, you order & pay at the counter and pick up your meal at another counter. Large variety of sandwich choices, including burgers, chicken, subs, and seafood. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu sandwich, and the others in my party ordered the Carolina Burger & the Chicken Salad Sub. Portions are large, and were ready with not too much of a wait (menu states a 10 minute wait). Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich - the lettuce and tomato overpowered the flavor of the chicken and ham. Beverages - self serve - the tea canisters were not well marked so I poured unsweet tea instead of the preferred sweet tea. Price - I though it was a little high priced for self serve. Ample portions on all items, but an average of $11/person for our party seemed a little high for a self serve meal. read more

Love the convenience of this place and their menu is extensive. However, I always leave this place feeling disappointed with the food. It's mediocre at best and if you are in the area and need a bite, it will do. I've had a few selections here, the most recent being the chicken salad sandwich and it was rather bland. I love that they offer gluten free bread as an option, but I just haven't fallen in love with any of their menu offerings. read more

COVID-19: This was our second time ordering Village Dei for take-our since the stay-at-home order. It was our last, and perhaps ever last time. No employees have been wearing masks or any type of PPE, even when we ordered before restaurants were allowed to re-open dining rooms (which is why we did not return after the first visit). Today was particularly disturbing because their dining room was completely packed. No one was wearing a mask, except for my husband who picked up our food. No social distancing was in place. I want to give my business to local companies. But I feel this is a deliberate message that does not show concern for at-risk members of our community. I care for my elderly parents. I can't return. read more

Still a solid place with tons of options to choose from. The family and homey vibe is great too.

Love this place for a quick sandwich or salad for lunch. Currently the chicken salad is my favorite on a croissant. The crinkle fries are always crispy and not too salty. So thankful I live close by. Lots of nice healthier options as well! read more

This yelp listing is inaccurate. They do not open until 11am and close at 8pm. Which is wild considering the menu is loaded with breakfast stuff. They have banking hours yet are a deli. Go figure. Any way if you're looking for breakfast stuff the NY Deli on Heritage Lake Rd has all sorts of stuff read more
