| - As has been mentioned recently, there are not a lot of places around Charlotte that are not chains of some sort or another. Picadeli's is one such location that is most definitely not a chain. In fact, it is rather difficult to describe just what it is.
Up front, it's a bit of a deli (you might have figured that part out). But I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually order meat to go, like you might at an actual deli - though they do have meat in cases, like you may see in a grocery store deli. I suppose you could, I've just never seen it done.
Instead, you are generally seated along a somewhat narrow space and order from a menu. There are certainly a number of dishes made from that meat (or some meat, it could be that meat is just for show), and most of it is done fairly well.
There isn't anything purely outstanding here, but you do have some excellent service - they may not know your name (or maybe I haven't been enough yet), but it is certainly a great place to pop in for a sandwich, catch a game and get a bite to eat that is most definitely not a chain.
