This place is something of a legend in the Columbus/West Point/Starkville area, and rightly so. The uninitiated might see it as just a gas station restaurant...but in actuality, its one of the best places to get a sandwich in Mississippi.United Deli is family run, and everyone is happy to make recommendations if youre not sure what to get. Theyll also be sure to remind you to grab a piece of baklava, too, which you probably should. :)When I visited with a friend, we got the grilled cheese and Johns Special. Both were mega tasty - the highlight is the bread, which is crunchy at the edges and soft at the center. No idea if its baked fresh, but it is GREAT bread. Everything, including the meats, tastes fresh here. The fries were a bit of a low point; they were hot and salty, but kind of unremarkable. Still, this is a deli, not a McDonalds - go get a sandwich!!

I love it! The sandwich is so good, yall have to try it...

Best Sandwiches in Columbus My favorite is the John Special

Mr. John is always friendly & his gyros are so delicious!

I am not a huge sandwich girl, but my husband works in Columbus and brought me home his leftovers to Alabama one day and this is the MOST amazing sandwich I have ever had in my life! Such a treat when he brings me home his leftovers (which, are an entire half of a sandwich- that for me, becomes leftovers as well. The portions are insane! I asked him the price and expected this to be a crazy $13 sandwich. Not the case, but the portion is worth every bit of that). I did go to Columbus and try to find it myself today, and sadly- the gas station across the rd from it said they had never heard of a great sandwich place (haters!) so I didn’t even give the deli a shot. Came home to Google it and I will for sure be going to the correct gas station next time! Five stars!

Phone doesn’t work. Decided to just go in to place a to go order and there was about 20 people waiting for their food.

This is definitely a place to visit for great food!!

Hands down one of my favorite places. Jon (owner) has the best all star class customer service and his food is to die for. Jons little deli has become a weekly regular for me and our business. Thank you united Deli for everything.

Hands down one on the best hole in the wall locations in columbus. It may not look like much but holy smokes they can make some food. On top of that all the meat is sliced daily and 100% fresh. Keep up the good work Jon. Love you guys. The Portions of the food is amazing. It may not be the cheapest in town but you will have left overs.

Excellent service, amazing food, very friendly and polite!

You would never know it driving by, but this little hole in the wall has the BEST sandwiches in town (and honestly up there with the best Ive had anywhere...). You have to try it!

This little hole-in-the-wall is a hidden gem. If you want a phenomenal sandwich, exceptional gyro, or delicious muffuletta you have got to get your tail down here!This family is hardworking and out their name on the line to get you great food! The secret is in the bread and theyre not telling.And if youre lucky...their little boy will come talk your ear off or play hide and seek.

Ive done a lot of traveling and would still rate these sandwiches at the top of my list. The bread definitely makes it top notch and they certainly arent stingy with ingredients. Love, love, love!!!

This place has the best sandwiches in Columbus! Great selection and very generous portions! A 6 sandwich is enough for a meal and part of your next meal.

Best sandwiches in town! Best prices too!

Great burgers! Huge sandwiches on soft bread. Amazing Gyros. You will not be disappointed with anything you pick.

Awesome food and great owners. Its in a gas station and doesnt look like much but is incredible. The owner even gave us free cookies for our family who was visiting! A hidden gem of Columbus.

Wow!!! The food is worth the price!! Good service, hot food, amazing taste. A must stop whenever you are in Columbus.

I love the gyros made with pita bread and real lamb and meat, cucumber sauce ! onions, lettuce, and tomato. PERFECT !! ( and very fattening- LOL). John, the store manager, and his family are wonderful people and make excellent sandwiches !!!!!!!!!

The boyfriend and I tried this place yesterday, on a whim. We WILL definitely be back. The food was absolutely AMAZING. Im from Illinois and a huge fan of Gyros. I have been disappointed about not finding a place (in Mississippi) thats a little close to the gyros Ive eaten in Illinois. . until NOW. United Deli does it RIGHT! Im excited to try more of their food! If you havent been to United Deli & Grocery yet, youre missing out!!!

Honestly one of the best local places in Columbus. In addition to tasty (huge) sandwiches, the owners are the absolute nicest people! Definitely recommend!!

This is truly a Mom n Pop hole-in-the-wall joint that you only hear about anecdotally. The restaurant is in an older fully functioning gas station, which might sound odd at first, but it actually totally works with the complete experience. The food - my God, the food... The sandwiches here are huuuuge, and most importantly: delicious. The family that own and operate this restaurant are so friendly and welcoming that it feels like youve been coming there for years. If youre ever in Columbus, you need to try this place. Trust me: youll come back.

Best deli sandwiches I ever had. Always love stopping in here to grab one whenever Im in town.

One of my favorite sandwich spots ever! The portions are great too! Very nice family with a cool story.

Awesome Deli

The John sandwich is one of the best I’ve ever eaten. We stopped by in the middle of the afternoon and bought a 9” to have for a picnic around 4:30. It was sliced into 3 sections, and we were only able to eat 2 portions. My husband finished the rest as a nighttime snack. The only way it would have been better was eating it fresh from the store.
