Kellie's Deli

Food was great and so was the service. I was torn between the Italian and the Scooby doo, gave the Italian a go for our first visit here. It was 💯 great sandwich, I added hot sauce at home cause I like mine spicy. The potato soup was delish! My wife got the grilled cheese and tomato soup and it was also great. Kellie also sent us home with treats for our pup. Great spot downtown for sure, we’ll definitely be back!

I LOVE when I am genuinely supposed by how good food is. I ordered from here on my lunch, because it’s cold and I wanted something quick and warm. I ordered the chili, add jalapeños and (because I was prepping to be underwhelmed) hot sauce on the side. When I tell you that this was the most perfectly seasoned bowl of chili I’ve had in a very long time. The consistency was perfect, not too thick but not soupy at all. I could’ve done without so many tomatoes personally but honestly it didn’t take away from the chili at all. It was perfect and I’ll definitely be back again!

We stopped by for a quick lunch but we could easily have stayed for a leisurely lunch and visit with friends. The special was a Pastrami Reuben on Marbled Rye which was delicious. Others in our party got a Turkey Reuben and they seemed very pleased with their selection. There is ample seating and even a small porch with counter outside for a stand-up eating and dashing (weather permitting). Service was quick and very friendly.

The aumbiance from the street side sitting to the inside … BEAUTIFULLY LAID BACK & CLEAN!! Service is on point, friendly, knowledgeable & ready to take care of you. The smell of all the delicious choices will make your belly growl with hunger. The food is perfect & delicious. Definitely recommend this new deli spot in Memphis! PS the pricing will shock you! I thought I spent $40, nope less than $20.

If you’re looking for the perfect lunch spot in downtown Memphis, look no further than Kellie’s Deli! Tucked away within walking distance of the Blue Monkey, this place is an absolute hidden gem. My work sista and I stopped by, and wow—that’s an understatement. The atmosphere was so inviting that we ended up staying and chatting for two hours! The food was just as impressive, and let me tell you… the spicy mayo deserves its own shoutout! Kellie’s Deli has officially earned a spot on my list of go-to lunch spots for 2025. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!
