Big City Deli is located on the west side of Highway 41/Cobb Parkway across from Aldi, just north of the new Oyster Cafe.  The bright yellow building makes it hard to miss if you are looking for it.

The menu here has a little bit of everything: burgers, hot dogs, turkey legs, and hot wings; but it is the sandwiches that you should come for.  I had a grilled bologna sandwich, chips, and water for $6.65.

The sandwich was awesome and when they say the bologna is “thick cut” they mean it.  The chips are made on-site and seasoned well.  A word of warning though, you will not leave hungry.  Save a little bit on lunch and split a side of chips or fries between 2 or 3 people.

My $6.65 was the cheapest lunch out of the group I went with.  We all agreed that in order to attract a better lunch crowd the owner needs to create a lunch menu with combos that include a half sandwich, half order of fries/chips, and a fountain drink for the $6 to $7 range.  Expect to pay $8+dollars for most of the other sandwiches on the menu (not including a side or drink).

Overall the food was excellent, the place was nice, the staff were friendly, and they were displaying a 100% health department score (bonus).  Next time I am in the mood for a sandwich I will be going back.  Hopefully there will be some lunch combos by then though.
