The ambiance is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Been coming in for over a decade and it's one of my favorite spots to date. Every time I have out of town friends come in we always stop in, and it instantly becomes their favorite spot in Chattanooga. The country Ranch sandwiches, the best thing on the menu in my opinion, and even when they brought out the big ranch, it was phenomenal!!! They will always have my business and provide the best sandwich I've ever eaten

What an amazing and unique place! The moment I stepped inside, I felt a warm hug from all the beautiful wooden structures and decor. My first thought was feeling like I was inside a hobbit's house with all the glorious earthen features, but by no means was this place small. It was like a wonderful adventure walking through all the various rooms and levels. A lovely spiral staircase takes you to a second story where you'll find more table seating, a cozy cafe couch, and one of my personal favorite rooms which was the sunroom (also where the restroom is located). Pictures don't depict the true scale of this place and its ambiance. The beautiful building is just the beginning. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff is very friendly, and the food is delicious and fair priced. There's a dog friendly outdoor patio that's lush with greenery, too. One thing to note is parking; there's only 5 complimentary parking spots for the entire building located at the back. A handful of parking spaces are at the front of the building and are metered parking. For our lunchtime visit, we ordered a Deli Pesto Sandwich with coleslaw side ($10) and a Reuben with chips ($10). Since we were eating on the patio with our dog (no table service on the patio), we were advised to place our order as "to go" at the front register. We did, and it was out in a jiffy, and everything was scrumptious. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Another great part? The Yellow Deli is open 24 hours, 5 days of the week! Convenient, relaxing, and good food WITH healthy options - it can't be beat! The Yellow Deli is an absolute MUST visit.

Spouse has heard of the Yellow Deli for years but never tried it. Stayed with some friends who highly recommended it, so we had to go. The deli has two floors and the host said the food always tastes better on the second floor. Can't argue with that. We were seated at a corner table with a view. One thing we noticed was that they don't abide by the "first come first serve" rule. But they are quick, so it didn't really matter. The staff is what one might consider quirky. They have a... certain belief that's a mixture of hippyism and Christianity. They won't talk about it unless you ask, although the cashier did try to guide us in that direction. It didn't bother us since it was just a blip in the entire experience. We instantly decided on The Deli Rose with some changes... only to find out they will not change anything. You have to build your own. The Deli Rose has corned beef, roast beef, pepper jack and provolone cheese, onions, tomato, butter, mustard and their own spicy red sauce served on an onion roll. So we went with the Kaiser roll with everything in the Deli Rose, save the onion and for me, no tomato. We had a side of kettle chips. The Kaiser roll was soft and so tasty! The ingredients were jam packed inside. The kind of food you want to wolf down but on the other hand, savor it for a few hours. We loved it! Then we ordered each a slice of carrot cake. While dense, it was moist and the icing just put it over the top. This entire restaurant is an experience. The food, the ambience, the staff... A must go to.

I had to come here again for the deli pesto. 10/10 per usual. The service is always great. This time I tried the iced St Joe and wow it was actually really good. I didn't have any expectations but it really surprised me. Definitely getting that again. My friend got the mango mate and that tops the hibiscus drink for sure.

This restaurant was okay to begin with. The service started going down hill as we sat down. Our server said, "if you have any questions please let us know." My wife Angela is allergic to some dairy products and she has a gluten allergy. My wife asked for her sandwich to not have any cheese on it and gluten free bread. The server said there was no gluten free bread which was fine with my wife. When the food came out there was cheese all over my wife's food and gluten filled bread. The food had this smell that made my wife feel sick to her stomach and when I smelled it smelled like a rotting corps. I told our server and he said that there was nothing he could do about it. I finally asked for the manager, to be clear the manager was a very young looking guy and told us that we should not be criticizing there food. In my opinion it seemed very odd and as I looked into it I figured out that the Yellow Deli was full of people who run a cult. My wife and I are not okay with this. As a Christian based family we do not agree with anything that these people stand for. This place is not worth your time.
