Favori Deli

Favori Deli is a little gem that we found one day looking for a quick spot to get a sandwich in Uptown. I didn’t really get how it worked when I walked in – the place also doubles as a tiny little convenience story. What I loved most about this spot was how cheap all the sandwiches were! And not only were they extremely inexpensive, but delicious AND huge! The only thing that we didn’t like was how long they took to give us our food. I don’t know if always takes long, but either way, it’s a great spot!

My absolute favorite hangover food in New Orleans. If you start your day with a pounding headache, don’t reach for aspirin, just go into Favori and grab a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit/​croissant/​sandwich and soon your previous night’s regrets will sink into the best afternoon nap that you’ve ever had (hot tip: add sriracha, trust me). Not only that, if you’re in need of hydration, Favori has almost literally every drink you can think of. Remember Mystics from when you were in middle school? Yeah they have those. Arizona Teas? Of course. Coconut water, Snapple, anything your heart desires.
Favori is also a great spot for quick and simple sandwiches. Their hot pastrami sandwich is delicious, and a great power lunch. Throw on some mustard and you’re good to go.
I have to mention that the owners of Favori are also some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. You may be hit with a «Favori hold please» when you call, but that just comes with the rush. When you arrive you’ll be met with pure courtesy.

Really good food. Love how I can order cigs on my splash card

Great subs with affordable price!

Great comfort food at an even better price. Delivery times can be inconsistent but still worth it every time

I love this spot for quick and casual lunches. The steak and egg breakfast sub was very good, and we also tried the spicy chicken wrap after a recommendation from the guy taking our order. I’d get both again! And I know I will, since the prices are low and it’s right around the corner.

We love this place. From the spicy chicken wrap, to the steak egg and cheese, to the Philly cheese steak. This place always satisfies my cravings when I’m hungover or just generally depressed. Don’t expect to go run a marathon after though, its heavy food.

Favori is one of my favorite spots to hit when I’m out in New Orleans. I frequently visit NO during Mardi Gras and although the wait is quite long (which is expected during this time), I must say it is well worth the wait.
The food is fantastic! My favorite is the grilled shrimp poboy on french bread and the spicy chicken wrap. I heard the steak and egg is excellent as well. They actually have a variety of different sandwiches for the meat lovers as well as the seafood lovers (shrimp, oyster, catfish) and they do not go skimpy. Each sandwich I ordered was loaded and made fresh to order. They also have really tasty side dishes such as the mac & cheese and jambalaya.
The owners/​staff are quite friendly as well. I believe the owners had some family helping them at the store during this past Mardi Gras. The new guy taking orders in the back was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. He was very pleasant and was able to answer all my questions regarding the menu even during their busiest hours with a smile. The new girl takes a bit to warm up to but she was polite as well.
All in all, this is a must place to visit. The prices are reasonable given the amount and quality of food. I even saw a few Jimmy John employees ordering sandwiches from them… that says it all!

First off, the delivery took an hour and ten minutes. They told me it would take forty-​five. Also they did not have the Mac n cheese I ordered, but instead of telling me so I could order a different side they just didn’t bring it upon delivery. Finally, as if this wasn’t enough, I called to check the status of my order, and the working manager hung up after saying she would check on the status of my order. If I could close this business right now I would, a thoroughly classless establishment.

«Favori hold please.»
This is the first thing you will hear when calling in an order. Besides that and the long wait for delivery, the food is super bomb and the prices aren’t bad either. I like their breakfast sandwiches the best and they have a great House sauce.

The delivery times have been consistently reasonable the last few times we’ve ordered. One of our stand-​bys for ordering in.

This was the worst meal I have ever had. Soaked in grease and leaked all over the take-​out bag and onto my floor. It took an hour and a half to deliver. The employees kept «accidentally» hanging up on me. They treat college kids extremely disrespectfully. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE.

Favori has the best food in town! You can’t go wrong with most anything on the menu! I suggest the Maple Feast or Spicy Chicken Wrap. And as for sides, well, good luck finding better Mac and Cheese or Jambalaya in the city!
As for the atmosphere, the owners are great and always eager for some great conversation. Kids are especially welcome!

Thanks for suddenly changing your delivery footprint and not including that in your info not to mention taking my order AND credit card info only to call back and basically explain that your one driver is too lazy to cross Claiborne today.
You can keep your mediocre food. I should probably thank you for keeping me from eating your trash.

Had excellent po boys here after a long day of drinks. Fried shrimp and sausage. Omg.

The food only tastes good when you’re drunk. Don’t expect fresh cold cuts or bread. They really skimp on the meat, so $ 7 – 8 dollars for a sandwich is not a good deal at this place.

I love ordering from this place, very friendly staff and delicious hot food.
only open from 10:30 am — 4pm W through M

I like the menu. Traditional poboys and some non traditional items like rubens, tuna salad, and philly cheese steak. They also have breakfast sandwiches.
At first the breakfast sandwiches seemed expensive, but they are huge and worth the money. The biscuits are delicous. The steak and egg is a full size 12″ poboy. TIP#1: The hashbrown overpowered the sandwich so take it off and eat it on the side. TIP#2: Theres alot of bread, (and sauce) do yourself a favor and double up that egg/​steak filling and discard other half of french loaf. Now THAT is a sandwich!

The steak n egg. Nuff said. Oh and be sure to ask for extra sauce ;)
I order from here quite often, REALLY nice owners (i guess they are) stupid me does not know either of their names, and after all this time (and as i’m typing this) i feel bad.
It’s either a toss up between the steak and egg (with extra sauce) or the sunshine special. Can’t go wrong. Plus add a bag of chips and an Arizona energy drink with it all for about eleven bucks?! can’t do better!
Trust me, try that steak and egg, but i hope your mom isn’t around because you’ll definitely be wanting to slap her right in the face it’s so damn good.

I discovered Favori long, long ago when, without car as a freshman at Tulane, I ventured down Maple Street for an alternative to PJ’s (aka Starbucks). Little did I know this «hole in the wall,» I suppose, existed. We peered in the window curiously. looked like a convenience store. But oh, we easily found out it is so much more!
Favori is a good option for greasy, delicious food on the cheap. Many students and New Orleans locals alike deem it the perfect hangover food. It is close to campus, they serve up any food you may crave after a long, indulgent night, and they deliver (which is especially advantageous because you may not want to revisit that nearby street where you may or may not have made some bad decisions the night before).
My personal favorite? The egg and cheese croissant, which is about $ 5 with a can of Coke. I first had it when I was sick, hacking up a lung and such, and therefore not hungover, and it is the perfect comfort food. I don’t know what they do to make it the absolute PERFECT combination I could eat every day. I think it may be the melty, delicious cheese. Or maybe the layers of fluffy egg. Or maybe the buttery, so-flaky-you’re-going-to-want-several-napkins-but-will-still-end-up-with-crumbs-on-your-shirt croissant. Whatever it is, you need one. Now.
Tip: Much to my recent despair, I noticed it is closed Tuesday. Which is why I went today (Wednesday). And why I have half a croissant sandwich nestled away in my work bag for later snacking. Yum.
