Super USA and Ed's deli — Restaurant in Lauderdale

I just randomly came across this Super USA (and Ed’s Deli) on Larpenteur, off 280 and popped in to get some food (was thinking a bag of Doritos and a Gatorade). But then I see “Ed’s Deli” when I walked in there, which is like a Subway setup but a lot more eclectic and with better smells and a really friendly guy (Ed… the owner?) there. Well, no Doritos for me today, thankfully. I ordered a Beef Shawarma Wrap, extra spicy, and had a ton of fresh veggies added into it. And also got a Shish Taouk bowl (think chicken and garlic w/ an awesome dipping sauce)… so glad I have pictures to help me remember how to spell this stuff. I just did a lot of pointing. And as I was with my wife, we also got some Falafels and some house-made pita chips and hummus to round it out. Nowhere to eat it onsite, but that’s okay, didn’t expect a dining room at a Super USA. Very affordable (I think our total bill was like $30 for the 3 entrees). Ed and Mike (I think that was the other guy’s name?) were super friendly. Engaged us in conversation, helped us pick out the perfect lunch. How often do you chat with and exchange friendly banter with anyone in a Super USA or SA, etc.? It seemed like this is truly authentic Lebanese food, made by Lebanese-Americans, in a very cost-efficient, convenient place.

All the locals probably know about this awesome find already, so sorry if a suburban interloper is ruining the secrecy of this place, but wow. What I wouldn’t give to have this place a mile away from me. I’d be a regular. We’re so glad we found this authentic food gem in a very unexpected place and will definitely be going back anytime we’re cruising up 280 around Larpenteur. Thanks, Ed and Mike. Keep on rockin’ that tasty, homemade-like authentic food for us. And keep being as friendly as you were today…. Such a rare find in today’s crazy take-out food environment we’re in.

Gush gush gush… which I rarely do, unless warranted. But just go there to confirm how warranted...

I stopped in to do a service for the gas station today and as I drove up I saw their sign for sandwiches. It was a little past lunch and I was a bit hungry after completing my service of the gas station I just couldn't help myself I had to try something. I got a steak Shawarma it was amazing the meat was super flavorful and all the veggies in it were nice and fresh I'd definitely recommend you try this place out if you're thinking about. This was the first time I've have had a Shawarma I've have had a ton of gyros that the only thing I could somewhat compare to this but the Shawarma is like a gyro on steroids much better. The staff was super friendly and helpful in helping me pick out what to get for my first time. If I didn't live so far I'd probably be in once a week but that won't stop me from making special trips in the future to try out more of their food. Thanks Ed and everyone else working there keep up...

My husband & I frequent this store and always receive awesome service. The Father & Son are always super friendly and helpful. They offer many different snack items that we are otherwise unable to find elsewhere. The most amazing thing is the made from scratch hummus, tabouli, and deviled eggs that are prepared fresh daily by the Father. You know that this type of fresh, delicious food is prepared with both skill and love. It is very rare these days to find such kind, generous, and humble people as them. I can’t say enough nice things about this little store and the wonderful family whom dedicated themselves to providing the surrounding community with such a happy little oasis in the midst of the big city. Thank you for always having a smile for us each day we come, YOU ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
