Quartermaster Deli — Restaurant in New Orleans

I have been a regular and faithful customer of Quarter Master since 2009, I also work in a hotel one block away and recommend QM to my guests on a daily basis. I have always been a fan and never had a problem until now. On a busy day after Ida, after power was restored, I went in to get food for myself and four friends. The menu was limited and it was cash only. I ordered 5 burgers and 5 fries and the cashier, Tina, gave me a total of $145. I knew that was higher than normal (twice the price) but I thought maybe the prices were higher given the circumstances. I could also see the store was very busy at the time and Tina was quite flustered. I am a kind, understanding person and I did not want to add to the chaos of the moment by making a stink of the price. When I got back to my friends with the food they were all outraged by the price and immediately talked of boycotting QM for price gauging. I talked them all down saying I could understand if they needed to charge more and that is was also possibly a mistake which I could also understand since there was a lot going on at the time. Again, I am a very understanding and reasonable person. Three days later, I went back to the store for another purchase and while I was there I asked if the kitchen prices had been higher, they said no. I said I paid $145 for 5 burgers and 5 fries, they said that wasn’t right. They told me to talk to Tiffany who was in the kitchen at the time, so I did. She said she would check on it in the morning and call me. Tiffany did not call me the next day, I patiently waited. I went back in a couple of days later, Tina was working and I asked her to remind Tiffany, who was supposed to be working the following morning, to call me. She did not call. I went in again, a man who’s name I do not know (same man I initially asked about the prices) gave me a rude and annoyed reply when I asked him if he knew of the status. Today, I stopped by again and finally caught up with Tiffany, she told me she couldn’t do anything about it because it was impossible to find the transaction and that I could take it up with her husband but then refused to have him call me and couldn’t give me an exact or even approximate time to catch him other than “the morning.” They were cash only at the time of the purchase and I was not given a receipt, I have no proof other than my word and the word of one friend who was with me that day. They know me, I come in multiple times a week and have done so for a very long time. I’m not a stranger, I have no history of making any attempt to scam them out of money. I do; however, have a long history of supporting their business, so it is completely unacceptable to be dealing with this now and facing both rude and dismissive treatment with absolutely no willingness to correct their mistake. Therefore, I am done with Quarter Master. They can keep the money they stole from me which is far less than the money they would have made from me in the future. Verti Marte is the exact same...

Let me let you in on a New Orleans favorite that flies under the radar unless you’re in the know: The Quarter Master, or as the locals lovingly call it, the Nellie Deli.

This joint has been slinging straight-up Southern comfort for 30 years, and buddy, they do not miss. I’m talking food so good, it’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about late-night eats.

And here’s the kicker—these saints will deliver it to your doorstep 24 hours a day. That’s right, anytime. Rain, shine, Mardi Gras madness—they’re coming through. Or you can do like I did: call ahead, place your order, and pick it up yourself, which is honestly part of the charm.

Their menu? Absolutely stacked. You want hearty? How about daily specials that taste like your grandma’s best Sunday dinner? Hungry? They’ve got half-pound burgers that’ll put your whole week’s calorie count in jeopardy. Feeling classic? Their po’boys are so loaded, you’ll be wrestling your lunch just to keep it in the bread. And they’re cranking this out every single day of the year—every single day, y’all.

So whether it’s 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning, The Quarter Master is holding it down. Nellie Deli isn’t just a deli; it’s a New Orleans institution. If you haven’t hit it up yet, go ahead and add that to your list of life mistakes—and...

Dont you ever forget this place is cash only! Very much a kinder way of relaying the rude annoyance mustered up when you realize you cant pay the old viper behind the counter. It's one thing to realize as an individual, happiness while taking on a gender reassignment of choice; its an entirely different malfunction of the human brain to embody everything to pass as a woman, live as a woman and be still so dissatisfied with ones life, after insisting upon what was supposed to make them happy, but only broadcast nasty mean hag to everyone that meets them. Saw this lady swear and refuse a customers business after harassing him, couldn't tale a joke. I missed the joke but figure one with such provocative life choices that effect everyone would also have a comprehensive humor. She snapped at me when I realized it was cash only and said sorry. Before I could say ill be back she butted in, have a nice life. sparse selection of Pepperidge farm products chips and terrible candy selection. These and a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks overpriced for your disappointment. the deli is terrible but. an over price food poison at this end...
