Jack’s New Yorker Deli

I had the breakfast panini. The food was good and the service was great. I’m new to the area and the staff were super welcoming and gave me recommendations of places to go. This is a great spot to just chill during down time.

Found this place thanks to my fellow Unilocal users and they were awesome. Colleagues and I greatly enjoyed eating here with their variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. The homemade fries and breakfast potatoes were awesome. A little too much pepper but still great. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the downtown Charlotte area. I had the breakfast panini with bacon, cheese and egg omelette. Yummy!!!
Friendly staff and option of outside or indoors seating. Beautiful area.

As soon as I stepped in I was greeted by the cashier. She was very friendly and informative about the menu. The restaurant offered casual food but had a trendy atmosphere. They gave you a lot of food and had the best potato fries I have ever eaten. No tip is required unless you want to put something in the tip jar at the register.

Looking for a place in Charlotte that has delicious deli food? Well, keep looking …
I went into Jack’s New Yorker Deli on a Saturday at 1:30 in the afternoon. I was the only customer. I ordered the New York Reuben with a side of fries. Here are the plusses and minuses;
Plus: the sauerkraut was cooked before it went on the sandwich and had a pleasant mild flavor
Plus: the fries were fried when I placed my order, so nice and hot! The seasoning is salt, pepper, touch of garlic powder … really nothing to rave about
Minus: the rye bread was «seeded». The caraway flavor was overpowering
Minus: the bread was toasted not grilled. The sandwich was DRY because of this
Minus: The Russian dressing was flavorless. I asked for extra on the side so I could overcome the dryness. It was just orange colored oily stuff that had no particular taste. In a blind taste test there is no one who would guess that this was Russian dressing
Minus: the meats were far too lean. This tasted like over-​processed lunch meat. They say «cut the fat; cut the flavor»
Minus: the cheese never had a chance against the caraway. No flavor contribution here
All things considered, this was a well below average deli experience. I won’t be back at Jack’s New Yorker Deli. I can’t recommend this subpar over-​priced restaurant.

One of the best sammich places I have EVER eaten at. The Reuben is amazing but the Roddie’s off the Books is probably the best sandwich I have ever in my life eaten.

I have a new job for which I travel to Charlotte on business once or twice a month. This deli is right next to the office building I am working in. One of the first days I had to get lunch on my own, I popped in here and I am glad I did. I’ve been here 4 or 5 times since. The service is quick and friendly. I’ve had a couple of different sandwiches and usually get the side salad for a $ 1.99 more. The Caesar and the Greek salad are both good and plentiful. You can also order a full-​size salad and add protein. I’ve also had the fries as a side and they are very good — crispy with a little bit of seasoning. I also love that they play alternative music over the speaker system. I will definitely be back!

If you love a good, loaded sandwich and amazing fries, this place is for you.
They put this special seasoning on their fries. And it works perfectly. They sell the seasoning, I guess cuz people love it so.
A huge selection of sandwiches. If you can dream it with meat, they likely have it. I like Corned Beef and Cole Slaw. Yep, they have it.
Parking is tricky at lunch. I go around 12:50ish and can usually find a spot.
Give it a try. I think you’ll like it.

Very yummy!!! The staff was super friendly and very accommodating! I will return when I’m in Charlotte again!

Happiness is a well put together corned beef Reuben and very well seasoned (and fresh!) French fries!!! Loving my visit to Charlotte!

I stumbled in here at 7am after a long night of drinking. The food came out quick, was the right price for downtown, and from what I could tell it was pretty tasty.
I’ll keep this one short. I had the salmon 3 egg omelet. For being downtown and less than $ 9, I can’t complain. It wasn’t amazing but did the job. I’m sure this place is slammed on weekdays.
I’ll be back.

Jack’s is a solid lunch choice in terms of the food and I appreciate that it’s 7 – 8 blocks from my office so at least I can feel good about taking a longish walk after ordering a delicious but probably less than health conscious lunch.
It’s a chain and despite the New Yorker in the name, don’t go expecting Carnegie Deli mountains of pastrami on a sandwich. Instead, you’ll get a reasonable portion of good lean pastrami that’s been nicely grilled and served with spicy mustard.
My go to sandwich is Jack’s Outlaw which us a sub roll stuffed with beef strip steak, pepperoni, salami and banana peppers all grilled along with hot sauce and covered in melted provolone. It’s got good heat but not in a too painful way and I love to get cole slaw as the side and just dump it all over the sandwich. Yum!

Sandwiches were pretty good. My Philly could have used mayo and the meatball sub was lacking marinara. Both sandwiches were packed with flavor and the cheese was plentiful. The potato salad and fries were great, as was the service. We will be back for sure.

Had an awesome chicken parm sandwich. Took a little longer wait but at least they warned me about it on the menu. Taste was great. Only complaint is sandwich «sloppiness” – meat and inside didn’t fill the hoagie so got plain bread at finish and was unevenly toasted… burnt edge and uncooked bottom. Now understand, I am being picky… it still tasted awesome. Good marinara, melted cheese, grated parm. Just wish it was a little more stuffed. Will definitely return though.

The sandwich gets 2 stars, the extra star is for the service.
The Hubs and I stopped in today for a bite and ordered the special, which was a BBQ roast beef sandwich with onions, mushrooms and bacon. It was quite underwhelming, especially for the price. We enjoyed the Zapp’s voodoo chips way more than the sandwich. :(

Thank you for being across the street from McGlohon Theater and filling our Northeastern food desires while in Charlotte. You were super helpful taking my order over the phone and filling it for my hungry band in a jiffy. Sandwiches were delish and hit the spot. xo

Delicious and fresh food. Fast and friendly service. Clean environment. beer on tap and bottled available. Linden Club is a must try!

My first time ordering and overall was pleased with the quality of the food. We ordered an Al’s Big Ass Roast Beef sandwich and a Ryan’s Wiseguy both with chips. Apparently, they were busy as it took about 20 minutes to complete our order (ordered on the phone for p/​u). We realized later that we never got our chips, so a little bummed about that, too. However, the «brownie» made up for our concerns. It really is a wonderful hunk of fudge masquerading as a brownie – awesome! I really liked the Wiseguy with the salty Italian meats taking center stage. My only criticism is the Russian dressing on the roast beef sandwich was too thin and too sweet. It did not pair well with the beef IMO. Next time I’ll request horseradish on the side and dress it myself. The good news is there will definitely be a next time. Jack’s has caught my attention!

Great simple lunch spot. Nothing crazy just great sandwiches at good prices. I assume if you brought a New Yorker here they would complain that «you call thatttt a NY deli?» Just ignore them and enjoy your tasty sandwich and fries. Perfect for a big group getting lunch you can all order separately up front and there is a ton of seating inside and out. I had the mad Italian and enjoyed it.

In a hurry? Looking for a big salad? No frills, No problem.
We work in the same building as this Deli and when I am crunched between meetings, I run down here and get the Greek Salad with Chicken on top. It’s really fresh and the dressing is a balsamic that is yumtastic. The serving is huge too — no skimpy salad.
It is super fast service, you can be in and out of there in 15 minutes including sitting down and eating. If you just want to pick up and go, that is even faster.
Good range of soups, sandwiches and salads — items come with a side and a fountain drink. They have fries, coleslaw, chips etc.
I always have the salad and dine in or take out — it’s always fresh and fast and about 10 bucks total including a tip.
If you work in town — this is a good spot — parking here might not be possible — it’s a foot traffic location really.
I just saw on someone else’s review that they serve breakfast all day — I do low carb, so an omelet mid-​day, Yup. i will do that on my next visit.
Lots of booths and tables too — so finding a seat is not a problem. They have TV’s running and I should mention that they do discounts for Military, Police and Firefighters — so that is great too!

So I finally got to try this place that has opened right where the old Therapy Café was. It’s a true Deli style place with fresh meats and philly sandwiches, etc. My favorite part is the fact that they serve breakfast all day. For someone that likes to eat low carb, this is fantastic! I had a tenderloin omelette, side of ham and side of bacon. It was delicious and the servings were plentiful.
The parking is pretty much non existent so if you’re not working or living uptown then this is going to be a tough place to visit. The interiors are very simple but they have huge TV’s that will make this place a good sports bar once they get their permits in order. I’ll be back for sure to check out their beer selections at that point.
