Fertitta's Delicatessen - Shreveport

The atmosphere was adorable!!! I have lived here 19 yrs and finally stopped in to get a muffy! I was so disheartened after taking a bite... I had to open it up to see if there was bologna in it~ gave it to my husband without saying a word he too opened it up to see if there was bologna inside.... The meat looked cheap like the kind kids bought in the cheaper packages from the grocery store when we were in college... Real bummer ????

My wife and I are slow food enthusiasts from New York. Yesterday we stopped in Fertitta?s and tried their Muffy sandwich. Years ago my wife had read about them, so when we planned our recent trip to Louisiana we knew that we needed to stop here. Wow! They did not disappoint at all! Their signature sandwich, The Muffy, was delicious beyond compare! The perfect bread to glorious meat, cheese and olive relish ratio. The Olive relish was not overly salty like you typicallyimagine olives to be, nor was it swimming in olive oil. The atmosphere was amazing. You just don?t see much history like this anymore, even in NYC. But the best part were the people. Agatha and her son run the deli. She has owned thebusiness 42 years. Her son, Patrick, was a pastor in Alabama for several years but after his step-father recently died he moved back to help his mother run the deli. What awesome people. They are willing to bend your ear with stories abouttheir family and history. It?s beautiful to see people who still have such a connection with their past generations. You also feel the warmth of love radiating from this place, it?s people and it?s food. They?ve been there in the same spotfor almost 100 years now and I have no doubt that they will be there another 100 years.

Excellent old-school Italian deli. Reminds me of the ones on The Hill in St. Louis. Great atmosphere, nice people running it and the Muffy is great!

I tired several places in New Orleans, but the balance at Fertitta's couldn't be beat. While there have been a few years between making it back the food has been consistently good.

Always a huge treat when I get to visit Fertitta's! This trip home there were three generations of us in the deli, buying takeout lunch for four generations. Amazing food, and even more amazing customer service. They treat us as though we were family too. Thank you! See you next time!
