Deli On 5th

This is my regular lunch spot! And their daily lunch specials are awesome.

Stopped here on the way to New Orleans. I had the Elvis Special — a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich with honey. It was delicious and surprisingly inexpensive. The sweet tea was on point, as you would expect in Mississippi.
This is a good spot and close to Interstate ²⁰⁄₅₉. Highly recommended.

Great, small-​town deli/​coffee shop, with high-​quality sandwiches, wraps and baked goods. My only complaint is the lack of espresso drinks (machine out-​of-​order) and a ridiculously early closing time (2pm). In a downtown lacking other options, please consider staying open until at least 3:00 to allow for a relaxed after-​lunch coffee and cupcake.
All-​in-​all, Deli on 5^th, is well worth the five minute drive off of I-​20, if you’re looking for a great lunch (before 2pm).

This place is overrated. I see now why they are only open 4 hrs a day. I had looked forward to eating here for some time and finally found myself downtown when they were open. I’m sure their food is good, I just had the misfortune of ordering the Reuben. They have no concept of what a Reuben is as I was presented with a very thin, pressed (way over-​toasted) sandwich. It had all the ingredients, with the exception that marble rye was substituted for rye, but the execution was terrible. You don’t toast or press a Reuben for starters! The pastrami was of dubious quality, and extremely stingy. The sauerkraut was way too watery and ruined the the already burned and extremely thin bread. Cheese unmelted but meat clearly microwaved as it was extremely hot. Just a horrible inedible sandwich by any stretch. They were kind enough to refund my money, but when she asked the reason I was dissatisfied and I began to explain what a Reuben is supposed to be, she became defensive and condescending.
If you are going to open a sandwich shop, you should know how to make the classic sandwiches that you advertise on your menu. If you alter a classic, re-​name it! Call it something else, but don’t call it a Reuben and then deliver something else entirely! I won’t be back. And what’s with the gloomy references to Elvis? His obit’s, really? Give me a break.

My fiancé raved about this place. As does everyone else. I’m now left wondering why. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. For $ 6. $ 1 extra when I swapped out chips for a fruit cup. And by cup I mean teeny tiny cup. The chicken salad had potential. But a small sandwich for $ 6, it should have been amazing. Jimmy John’s has way better food for a more reasonable price. And that’s a chain!

Very unique place and good sandwiches. I just happen to show up before the lunch crowd. My only complaint is that I wish they had a better soft drink selection.

Stopped by for lunch recently. Food was fresh and prepared quickly by a friendly staff. Get there early as the line gets long quick.
