The Yellow Deli Chattanooga

The veggie burger is still vegan! Yet I didn’t order that. I had the yellow submarine, had to swap the non vegan pesto for hummus. And man it was so good. The old st. Joe latte (I think it was called) was the best coffee I’ve ever had!

The Yellow Deli has a charming atmosphere, and the servers were genuinely nice and friendly, which I appreciated. However, my experience was still pretty disappointing. I ordered banana milk, but they brought me banana bread instead. I didn’t eat it and politely asked them to correct it, which they did, though it took a long time. The same issue happened with my deli pesto—it was completely forgotten, and by the time it was sorted out, everyone in my group had already finished their meals. While the staff was kind and it didn’t feel disorganized, the long wait times and mix-ups really dampened the experience. I left feeling hungry and frustrated, which overshadowed the positive aspects of the visit. Hopefully, they can improve their efficiency in the future.

I don’t care that this place is a cult. The deli pesto sandwich was the best damn food I had in Tennessee. Is the service slow? Yeah. I wouldn’t do shit if I was working for slave labor too. Is everyone geeked out of their mind? Yeah but they are nice so go in sit down and enjoy the whimsical atmosphere.

It's run by the 12 Tribes Cult and really shouldn't be listed on this site.

If you eat here you are supporting this cult. 0/5 stars recommended

Great place for healthy meal options in Pulaski, TN.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My son and I stopped by The Yellow Deli after a trip to Children’s Hospital, and it was such a pleasant surprise! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding—warm, welcoming, and attentive. The menu looked so good I wanted to try everything! We also got to sample their house-made teas, and each one was excellent. I only wish I had the appetite to enjoy more of what they offer! Truly a delightful experience, and you won’t be disappointed dining here and supporting such a wonderful restaurant. Highly recommend!

Food great. Service is the worst service ever. Couldn’t get worst. Over a hour to get a water. How shameful. Food is good. But not worth the wait. Jesus will be here before I get my food.

We love this place! Great atmosphere. The interior design and decor is stunningly quaint, unique, and profound. Our latest visit was shortly after midnight on new years and the place was packed, but we still received the same great service you'd expect at any other time of day.

This is definitely the most unique eatery in Chattanooga. I love how all of your food is very natural and you feel very light. The atmosphere is excellent and it feels like you are in hobbiton. The only thing I haven't liked about this place is that sometimes the service is very slow. This last time that we were there we only ordered a few sandwiches and water and you took 45 minutes to get it. I'll still go and visit but I really hope they can speed up their service.
