| - I live close to Uptown Charlotte, so it's a bit of a drive to get here. Twice I made the trip and it was closed (on a Saturday), but deli is my fav go to food, and I was in the area. For a newly opened place in a growing area the interior decor person needs to be fired...or one hired. It's brown...dark, medium and darker brown. They have a huge space and could be a busy thriving deli, since you can eat breakfast ALL day, plus a huge selection of deli foods. It pretty much ends there. When I closed the menu, and saw Phil's is also one of their restaurants (Providence & Sardis Rds in CLT) my heart sank...been there and stopped doing that years ago. I had already placed my order for a reuben on rye and side of slaw....$9.
The sandwich pastrami was completely tasteless, although it appeared to be 'real' cooked at the restaurant pastrami. It was tough as shoe leather, to the point I had to disassemble the sandwich and cut the meat with a knife. It was a fair amount of meat, but not 'piled high' like a Jason's reuben. The coleslaw was 'from the bag' type slaw, without any celery seed or other seasoning and just a mouthful, nothing I would serve as a side.
I am truly disappointed as I LOVE deli foods, but the Bible Belt cannot seem to get deli food right. I got mine to go, so really didn't deal with the waitress, buy she was working alone, and I can see where that might be over whelming to any waitress. I might try again, just because I go to Indianland every few weeks and try not to judge any wateringhole by one attempt. These folks could 'rock it' where they are located...please read these reviews...DO BETTER!
