About this business
Best known for its Muffuletta (which has been featured on the PBS special, "Sandwiches You Will Like"), this Italian deli-grocer has been owned by the same family since it opened in 1906. For the uninitiated, this is the place to acquaint yourself with the classic Muffuletta, a massive round loaf stuffed with Italian meats, cheeses, olives, and more. Central Grocery has become more of a grocer than a deli over the years (the Muffuletta is the only sandwich you can order prepared) and offers towering shelves of imported goodi... read more

unsatisfied – Muffaleta was dry, not enough meat, not worth the price.
much ado about nothing – We went here to get the much praised Muffuletta, however it was prepackaged and hardly any meat to it!! We were very surprised it was almost $9.00 for a sandwich (we did split it)!! They seem to have forgotten their roots of what made the sandwich great at one time.
overrated – $9.00 for a mostly empty sandwich, pre-made on stale bread. What's the big deal. I tried it twice just in case 1st was an accident. The 2'nd one was as bad as the 1st.
Absolutely the best!!! – As a native of the greater N.O. area I have had many muffalatta's from Central Grocery. There is no other sandwich like it! It is absolutely the best sandwich ever!
Muffelletas are outstanding – This is a great lunch spot. My wife & I split a sandwich and we were full when we left. This is a "must do" when your in the Quarter.
interesting – Sandwiches are wonderful! My husband & I split a muffeletta for lunch and had major leftovers! The place was a little crowded. You want out immediately if you are like me and dont like small crowded areas. The sandwiches are great though!
Whata muffelatta – First trip to N.O. so I carefully planned every bite I would take. The CG is one of the last places on my list and I'm glad I didn't miss it. No frills, no fuss. Wait in line, buy your sandwich and retire to the spartan back of the place to jam it into your face. Great bread, great cold cuts and olive spread. NOT to be missed. I ate well in N.O. for five days, and the muffelatta was the best thing I put in my mouth. As to the (very few), there is always someone who is not happy, who want to tell how much b... read more
I still get cravings.... – This is one of those true New Orleans experiences that you can't miss. Years after moving away, Central Grocery still tops my list of Must Dos when I visit New Orleans...you haven't lived until you have had a Muf from Central!
Muffelatta Madness – I still think Central Grocery has the best muffelattas in town. And for $8.95 (plus tax), it's not a bad deal, either, considering it will feed two people. I always buy one to enjoy on the plane during my flight home; the other passengers look on with envy while they munch on their peanuts!
