If you haven't eaten here I HIGHLY suggest you give it a try!! This place has the best potato salad, egg salad, sandwiches, soups... pretty much you order it and it's going to be awesome!! Chris' Deli has been a staple in Charlotte for as long as I can remember. It will blow any other deli out of the water in taste, quality, and cost. Seriously I can't rave about it enough. I love that you can by everything by the pint/quart as well. Seriously I'm going to have to go this weekend now lol.
The only downside is it's hard to get to since Independence underwent all the changes it has over the years. Many many businesses have had to close up shop along that strip but Chris' Deli prevails!! *thank goodness* You seem to be doing A-okay as their parking lot is always pretty full. This is a hole in the wall, local kind of spot so don't expect a lot in the decor department etc. However if you are looking for amazing food this is the place to go... I mean it's a deli who cares about the decor :-)
