Mad Grocer & Deli

Mad Grocer is a chef-driven delicatessen rooted in Midtown Memphis. We opened with a simple belief: a great sandwich starts long before the bread is toasted — it starts with the meat.

Every day we prepare house recipes, stack generous portions, and serve the kind of food that makes you want to come back the next morning. No shortcuts. No mystery ingredients. Just honest, delicious deli.

Max has spent years honing his craft in professional kitchens before bringing that discipline back to something deeply personal: a neighborhood deli that punches above its weight. His philosophy is simple — treat every ingredient like it matters, because it does. When you make the meat yourself, you know exactly what’s in it, how long it rested, and when it’s at its peak.
Josie brings the heart and the details that make Mad Grocer more than just a lunch stop. From the carefully chosen gifts and trinkets lining the shelves to the warmth you feel the moment you walk in, her touch is everywhere. Together, they’ve built something Midtown Memphis didn’t know it needed — and now can’t imagine without.

Mad Grocer isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a place to browse. Alongside the sandwiches and house-made meats, you’ll find a curated selection of gifts, trinkets, and provisions hand-picked to delight. Whether you’re grabbing lunch or hunting for something special, there’s always something worth discovering on the shelves.
