Tucked away on Adams Street in Uptown New Orleans, Adams St Grocery & Deli has become the kind of hidden gem locals brag about and visitors stumble on and never forget. Part corner grocery, part hot deli counter, it's the spot where you can grab milk and bread for the house and a made-to-order po'boy for lunch, all in the same stop.
The menu keeps it classic: golden-fried shrimp po'boys stacked on fresh, locally baked French bread, hearty roast beef and fried chicken po'boys, a stacked Chicken Club, and a Chicken Cordon Bleu that regulars swear by. Everything is made fresh, made to order, and priced so a good lunch doesn't wreck your day.
Even with the road construction that's come and gone on Adams Street over the years, the crowd never really thinned out — that's the neighborhood telling you what it thinks of the food. Friendly, familiar faces behind the counter, a full grocery shelf for the essentials, and a menu that never misses. That's the whole story.
