Sol's Sandwich Shop & Deli is all about fresh and local. All of our burgers, hoagies, wraps and sandwiches are made to order with great ingredients and generous portions. Located in downtown Birmingham, just off 20th Street North, you've just got to stop by and try some of our delicious meals to believe what people are saying about Sol's!
Sol Bajalieh arrived in the United States in 1965. His love of 2 things: people and food inspired him to open Sol's Sandwich Shop & Deli in 1968 in downtown Birmingham at the original John Hand building. Sol provided the downtown scene with delicious meals until the building was condemned in 1995. Fast forward 13 years later, and Sol's three sons: Jeff, Chris, and Jason have revived a great Birmingham tradition to honor their late Father.

Had to wait an hour to get our food. They had a full house so I knew we would have to wait but people that came after us got their food. This is sad for a restaurant. Would have given one star but the food was actually good even though it was a smaller portion than I though. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with fries(which cost extra for some reason). The sides that you expect to come with the order cost extra.

I would not recommend this place. They are a rip off! I purchased two drinks 1 small fountain soda and 1 bottle of water. My total came to $4.95. I asked the cashier why was I total so high when the bottled water clearly said $1.99 and I was only ordering a small fountain drink...they have 3 different sizes. The guy told my the tag under the bottled water was wrong...false advertisement...and in fact all drinks was $2.25...Instead of getting the small fountain drink I gave the guy the cup back and got another bottled soda...Bet he didnt see that coming...Rip off...

Sol's always has great food. They have a massive menu and I guarantee you can find something on it that you'll like. The heat Burger is really good and the taco salad is good as well. They have a Cuban that they say is the best one in Birmingham and it may be now but only because the restaurant that used to be in the Innovation Depot went out of business. Don't tell them I said that.

Service and selection is very good. There are a number of specials and menu items to choose from. We chose the Reuben and the Philly cheese steak. The cheese steak was so-so, not bad, not great and was served on the proper bread but it seemed to be missing the authentic cheese whiz. The Reuben represented a great value and was excellent. It's important to know that this restaurant is very near the new transportation hub. If I were a Greyhound or Amtrak passenger you can bet this is the place to be. We will definitely return to sample some of the other items.

Well worth the six block walk to get there. Always packed, so you know it's good. Food is good burgers and deli type meals. Tables outside are in the shade, but remember to take extra napkins out there with you to level the tables and keep them from wobbling. Parking is the only issue I could see, but like I said, we walk because you'd be too full if you didn't walk it off afterwards.

In town for work training. Got there early, needed breakfast. And darn if I didn't luck up. It was amazing. 2 eggs over easy ( my preference) side of grits, 3 pieces of bacon I couldn't have cooked better myself, 2 pieces of toast and a drink...ALL under $8. Great service. Not busy at 8 am. Lunch is super too. Wow. Beats Wright's in Tuscaloosa and that's saying something.

You can grab a quick lunch and get back to work. Honest food. Serves meat and three and sandwiches. She had the chicken and wild rice soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. I had a hot spicy southern club with fruit. We were both happy with our lunch. About $20 for two and quick service. Only open Monday through Friday 7:00am to 4:00pm.
