Memphis TravelFebruary 1, 2012There is a huge stage set up at the front of the bar for live bands. Reasonable prices and a wide beer selection makes Young Avenue Deli one of the best music venues outside of Downtown Memphis.
They have a few vegan/vegetarian options. There is a great selection for craft beer aficionados, draft and bottled and have a good selection of liquor and wine. Trivia & live music are offered also.
My favorite bar in Midtown (and not just cause you can find my name on the huge CocaCola sign)! Food is great and they deliver! Great beer selection. TERRIBLE employee attitudes, however.- Extended ArmsSeptember 30, 2016Great place. Comfortable & Friendly environment. Visit this place often for a relaxing time. Great Pitas on the Menu and lots of Salads, which is my favorite!
Quite possibly my favorite place in Memphis. Great beer selection, pool tables, jukebox, sweet potato fries are delicious.
The food here is great nice great area try the quesadilia pizza dress it up like a pizza with all the cheese and toppings u want.👍👍👍
- I just love the atmosphere in this place I always get my same seat at the bar and there quesadilia pizza is the bomb yet out the picture.
Glyn VandenbergJanuary 11, 2012pool tables and a juke box. pay the extra change to get your music played right away or else you have to wait through some heavy metal lover's idea of good music. great local crowd, loves it
Social News NetworkAugust 12, 2013Catch a show or event at this bar/deli's large venue space. An extensive beer selection is available. And ... sweet potato fries. Need I say more?
Ami ClaytonJuly 19, 2017Great place to catch a late night meal and drink in Cooper Young. The cheese sticks were awesome.
Their Hamburger Buns & Marble Rye are baked fresh daily at Bluff City Bakery. Delicious!
If you face the windows during a sunny day, you'll likely be blinded by the sun bouncing off the building across the street. Try facing the bar or pool tables instead.
Pretty much everyone who works here is a dick but the food and beer selection is awesome!
The fries are fine and dandy. The service might be slow some days but it is almost always worth the time. And beer beer beer!- First time here the philly cheese steak was stuffed with cheese great atmosphere.
Joshua PfahlAugust 8, 2012Mot sticks were the best I have ever had, blackened grilled chicken sandwhich was very good but spicier than what I expected. Not a bad thing. Great atmosphere though
Debbie StrobelSeptember 5, 2021They have the menus electronically. I can’t read them off a phone and asked for a menu. Wow, I was given a difficult time by hostess and server. If you are visually or technically challenged don’t go- The fast service and great food. My second time here.
Ashley StatonMarch 26, 2015Great food late at night!!! Live bands and the best sweet potato fries in Memphis!
Order the Chicken Salad Salad. Great bargain, and you will have leftovers. I am a regular of the P...B...R!
Ariel TaranskiOctober 5, 2015Close enough to campus for a nice lunch or dinner. Amazing fried pickles! Fun place to see friends.
When the foosball machine works, it goes well with a Ghost River and some fries.
Amazing food, so-so service. You could probably invent a successful drinking game around how many hipsters you see walking by. Drink up.
David ColclasureMay 4, 2013Great place. Food is worth the wait. Fried pickles and mushroooms. Most def.
Great selection of French pop music on the record playing machine!
Christopher BevelMay 19, 2013The Deli has a great tap wall but try the Marys and Mimosas Sundays..$3!- Good beer selection and great fries. Just discovered beer club - 10 drafts and you get a free beer or t-shirt. Woot. Good spot to play pool.
Try the habanero hot wings, great flavor with just enough heat. If you don't dig on hot wings, get a side of wing sauce with your fries. Too mfing good.
- Friday and Saturday night they get all parking Nazi on you. There is TONS of street parking so avoid the belligerent people by avoiding the lot. Not welcoming.
Carmen TaydusMay 8, 2014If you ask to not have a pickle on your plate they will say "we'll try not to" and then you'll end up with a pickle on your plate and pickle juice all over your fries. :(
You can get bacon bits on your cheese fries for no extra charge. You're welcome, bacon lovers.
They ain't kiddin when they say the service sucks. Almost every time, I end up with a surly waitress or dick bartender. Love the food, love the atmosphere, but the service is def driving folks away.
GUY EDDYSeptember 27, 2011Chz sticks r to die for, and the wings, especially the garlic BBQ, r perfectly cooked
- The muffalletta is big but doesn't have much meat. Order the Sam i am with sweet potato fries + honey mustard!
I happen to know some awesome people that work at the deli!
Johnathan ClaytonJune 16, 2011You have to try the sweet potato fries! They're the best I've ever had!
Best fries in town! Lots of vegan options. Try the hummus pita or the fried tofu pita.
NathanMarch 9, 2015If you like being talked down to by staff, waiting an hour for your food, and pushing quarters into malfunctioning pool tables - this is your place. Employee attitudes have KILLED Young Avenue Deli.
If there's a live band playing, don't hold out hope you'll be able to continue your conversation.- Johnathan ClaytonJune 16, 2011The chicken salad sandwich is amazing! Fresh tasting and not sweet. Try it!
