Stacked Deli

fantastic sandwiches! great spot to pick up some lunch. the crispy chicken wrap was delicious and the chicken tenders are made in house. good-​sized portions. check it out!

Friendly staff! Delicious sandwiches! I strongly recommend calling ahead for pick-​up as it gets quite busy during lunch time. The fries are very flavorful and would definitely recommend splitting between two people. I love coming here during my lunch breaks. Their Reuben and deli meat sandwiches are delicious but don’t be shy to try their chicken sandwiches as well.

I had a bad experience last month where my whole lunch hour was wasted waiting for my food to be ready. I decided to try again today and ordered online. First off, in the extra section I asked for more than a couple packets of ketchup. How does 1 pack make sense for a sandwhich? Well, there is exactly 2 packs, so while I am being cashed out I ask for a side cup. The gentleman cashing me out talks over me and starts taking the order of the guy behind me. He finally notices I am still there, rolls his eyes and hands me the cup. I get back to the office and sit down to eat to find out the soup I paid almost $ 3 for is just liquid and onions. No noodles, no chx, no nothing. My sandwhich was stone cold when it was supposed to be warm. I call in to speak to a manager. The gentleman who picks up says he will take my info and call me back. I spell my name 4 or 5 times and he is messing it up bad. Then i give my phone number and he can’t get that right after 4 or 5 times. He starts to get angry with me after I have repeated it and he continually keeps making the same mistake. finally asks what it was concerning and I tell him, his tone starts to change. Rudely he asked «Are you looking for a refund or what?“I told him I wasted my lunch hour in line and can’t come back in, but needed to tell you about my poor experience. He finally says just come in and it will be taken care of, but the way he spoke it was like I was just trying to get free stuff. My experience was so bad, I doubt I will be back unless they can clean up the staff. Btw, the female working at the front counter was very nice and tried to help the gentleman messi g up, but he shot her down. She needs to be running the front of house.

Well, I’m changing this now to say that the shop has gone down. It used to be very good, but now I would just say it was mediocre at best. The sandwiches always seem to be very greasy and the staff not so friendly. I’m sure there is better places out there…

I only got a the chicken soup… but the soup was watery and bland. I was sick and just wanted some homecooked-​style soup. I figured a local deli with great reviews had to have soup that was better than what the Plum Market deli offered.

I ordered the «old Woodward» and waited the allotted 10 min to pick it up. $ 9 for turkey, lettuce, tomato and Swiss cheese? I figured it was just Birmingham prices so I paid the guy and went on my way. within ten minutes of eating the sandwich and limp, soggy pickle, I got sick. when I called the guy back just to let him know (I wasn’t even asking for a refund) he just said «not to be rude but it’s probably your fault, it couldn’t be the sandwich». considering I work in customer service down the street and now have to leave work early because I got sick from that sandwich, that was the WRONG way to handle that call. I just paid 9 $ to get sick.

Got very sick after eating here. I had the burger and onion rings. I asked for the burger medium rare and they gave it to me very rare — so I gave it back and said please make it well done — they had already cut it. They cooked each half and one came back to me still raw — even cold on the inside and the other half was slightly more cooked but cold too. The onion rings were very hot and very greasy. Stayed up all night with an upset stomach. Almost vomited it all up. Horrible experience.

I frequent downtown Birmingham, and I had never had such disgruntled service. First the a clerk overcharged the already overpriced sandwich and I’m indifferent about their squishy pickle on the side lol. But that’s not why I gave such a low review. Let me explain.
I ordered their Reuben sandwich which was exceptional. I really enjoyed their sandwich. The corned beef was cooked perfectly and their bread simply melts in your mouth. And whatever sauce they use to dress the sandwich? Two thumbs way up. No wonder this is one of your popular sandwiches! My mouth is actually watering thinking about it.
However this is why I dock your stars…
I dined in for 15 – 20 minutes and I can’t tell you how many times the young clerk rolled her eyes when phone calls came in. I’ve worked at a carry out restaurant before to tell you that she was not that busy. A happy family of four placed their order and sat outside. Apparently the clerk was extremely displeased with the inconvenience to walk a few steps out to deliver their lunch. She huffed and puffed and it was REALLY irritating. Her bad attitude was enough to somewhat ruin my first experience here. In fact, I think it even inspired me to eat faster so I could get out. So… I suppose if I were to go here again, I would just call carry out.

Wow! I just had the best lunch I’ve had in a while. Situated smack in downtown Birmingham, Stacked Deli offers a large selection of sandwiches, wraps, soups, burgers and dogs, and salads. The atmosphere is casual, and the interior is very nice; brick walls, vintage Detroit photographs, and a rack of «made in Michigan» potato chips give it an old-​school feel.
I ordered a #25, the veggie stack wrap (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, red onion, carrots, green pepper, and Muenster cheese in a wheat wrap). I thought the veggies would be cooked, not raw, but they were chopped fine enough that I didn’t have to rip a whole piece out of the sandwich when I tried to take a bite. Altogether it was a delicious sandwich! So full of fresh veggies, and the perfect amount of cheese.
The girl behind the register, Kyleen, was pleasant and helpful when I was trying to decide what to get. Everyone on staff was in a great mood and it was a nice place.
I would totally go back again. Great lunch spot!

Been here a few times and it’s a very good choice in the area for a deli-​style grilled sandwich. There lots of mediocre chains in Bham. This is a local joint and the guys that appear to run the place have been friendly and prompt. Sandwich chips and a drink is gonna be $ 12. Not a cheap lunch, but it’s good compared to the alternatives.
The menu is pretty extensive and check out the customer creations posted behind the counter. You might want to study up online if you are like me and get paralyzed by numerous possible combinations of cured meats, cheeses, slaws and krauts.
New seating and lighting apparently on the way for an upcoming remodel.

Great sandwiches! The guys who work there are always chatty, they held onto a bag I accidentally left behind there (silly me) and their bagels with lox have helped me survive lent!

Solid sandwiches & salads, and their fries are to die for. They get points for their customer service. One thing to note: Stacked is packed at lunch, so you usually have to wait a while for your order.

Let me start out by saying the food here is so delicious! My issue with this place is the service — speed and hospitality.
I tried this place today, after a long hiatus due to being treated rudely and served soooooo sllllooowllllyyy. Without fail, every time I’ve ordered anything from Stacked — whether it be online or in person, I’ve had to wait 20+ minutes over the quoted time, even when I’m the only person in the restaurant and have never been notified pleasantly about this by staff. In my opinion, the staff always seems overwhelmed and rushed resulting in poor customer treatment.
Today’s visit was an exception to this! Speedy service & friendly treatment. As I approached the counter, anticipating to be snapped at by staff then told my food wasn’t ready, just like every other visit, I was nicely surprised. I let the cashier know I was ready to pick up my order and was promptly & politely handed my meal — Right on schedule and friendlier than ever.
Unfortunately, upon returning to work and digging into my sandwich I noticed it wasn’t my order. I must have been given the incorrect bag or had the incorrect meal placed in my to-​go bag. None the less, as stated above the food here is delicious and this sandwich was no exception.
They just can’t seem to get it right for me. Maybe I’ll give it a try in another 6 months.

I work in Birmingham and this is probably my favorite spot to get carryout from.
Great sandwiches and soups hard working and courteous staff and quality ingredients. They do delivery in walking distance for downtown birmingham.
Cool feature is items not on the menu named after customers like the Lexa which is basically a chicken greek with avocado and it equals awesome.
I’m hoping someday that they add a fried egg and cheese sandwich called «The Parvez» after one of my coworkers. Highly recommended.
I’d advise calling ahead because they are busy and they have a wait time during lunch hours.
My personal go to right now is the tuna melt and cup of turkey chili.

My favorite deli, and one of my favorite places in Birmingham! I almost always get a #11, or the York. Corned beef, cheese, and a fried egg but I get Russian dressing instead of spicy mustard on mine. It’s so good! I’ve also enjoyed other sandwiches and wraps I’ve tried; the menu is extensive!

Been here twice just to make sure… both times with two different cashiers — they seemed put off by questions and my lack of knowledge of their process or their menu.
Place is clean and quiet — music in the background does not overpower conversation.
Food prepared well, served to the table, prompt. This place gives you a good value for your money.
Both times I ordered a normal pastrami reuben — not the stacked version. It’s an ok sandwich — its not something I would NEED to have once in a while — or honestly — ever again. Flavor is ok — but nothing WOW. Turkey sandwich, and burger were both ‘just ok’ as well and did not create a craving to warrant a special trip here for the food.
Kinda average. Most likely will not be back.

Just had my first experience at Stacked Deli and I was pleasantly surprised. I had «The Tiger» sandwich and the turkey chili and both were awesome! On top of that the cooks were super friendly and delivered my good right to the table. I will definitely be back for all my lunch breaks!

Great place for deli-​style sandwiches. Comparable to Al’s Famous on Woodward, but I like Stacked a bit better. Their sandwiches are creative, fresh, and definitely filling. The service is great and everyone is super friendly. The place is clean. Even their side items like fries, salads, and soups are top notch.
My only complaint are the hours. I’ve often had a Stacked craving in the evening or on a Sunday, to go with some NFL action, and I’m always disappointed that they aren’t open. I wish they were open until 8:00 during the week and for at least a couple hours on Sunday. I would probably go here far more often if they expanded their hours.

Just had a great meal here with my girl. I had a turkey sandwich and she had pastrami. The food was amazing! Fresh and affordable.
We also tried the fries and while I wasn’t a fan, my girl loved them.

Great little deli in downtown Birmingham! Not a chain restaurant and love supporting local businesses. I had a great sandwich and their soup was good too! Service was excellent too. Everyone was smiling. Can’t get that at a «chain» restaurant.
It’s on my rotation of restaurants!
