The Real Deal is a lively local deli located next to a fire station, recognized for its legit food and friendly staff. The portions are large, featuring delicious options like the Grown-up Grilled Cheese, tender BBQ brisket, and the highly praised Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. The menu is underrated but great, offering fast service and good value compared to other nearby delis. Customers love the fresh ingredients and variety, especially the margherita pizza and the Pesto chicken sandwich. While the place could use a renovation, it has a vast menu to explore, and the owner supports local artists with upcoming photography shows. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for tasty food and friendly service, where people can indulge in comfort foods like the Uncle JR Panini and parm truffle tots with garlic aioli.
