Village Deli
After being closed for an expansion and renovation The Village
Deli in Cameron Village is back open with a new kitchen, dining
room, and expanded menu. The Village Deli has been around for
quite a while and it is a favorite place of many people in Raleigh.
It has a sort of rustic country feel inside and plenty of seating
outside. It's always busy and now that they have expanded, it
gets even more busy. So if you don't want to wait in line you
can call ahead or get one of the box lunches to go. The Village
Deli is popular for their deli sandwiches, sweet tea and desserts
like the pineapple cake. I really like their bacon. It's always
nice and crisp and goes great with the turkey sandwich.
Today, I wanted to go over to The Village Deli and skip my normal
turkey sandwich and try out some of their new menu items. There
are several appetizers added to the menu and many seafood entrees.
Things like oyster po boys, shrimp burgers, grilled tuna sandwiches,
and flounder sandwiches. I know what you're thinking...Seafood
at a deli?? I was thinking the exact same thing. How are they
going to pull this off? So today I convinced everyone I was eating
with to try out something from the new section of the menu. I
ordered the flounder sandwich. It consists of a fried flounder
filet, tomato, lettuce, onion, and remoulade on a hoagie. Pretty
simple. We also ordered fried oysters and a shrimp burger. Overall,
I would probably skip the flounder, the shrimp burger was decent
and the oysters were surprisingly good. So there are some good
things and bad things with the new menu. However, it's hard to
go wrong with some of their deli sandwiches, that they have always
had on the menu.
The Village Deli is having some growing pains from the new expansion,
but all the improvements are great. They even plan to add breakfast
service in the near future. I'm sure that they will continue to
be successful.
