Bedder Bedder & Moore is a weekday lunch deli in Charlotte — open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The menu reads like two places at once: straight-down-the-middle deli classics on one side, and a run of sandwiches named after regulars on the other. If it's your first time, here's where to start.
The Rosemary Roast Beef ($14.99)
The move if you want a classic deli sandwich done a notch better. The roast beef gets a rosemary lift that keeps it from feeling like the usual cold-cut stack — a safe first order that still isn't a boring one.
The Reuben, Cali or NY ($13.99)
You pick your coast. The Reuben comes two ways here, so it's worth asking which is which when you order — and then arguing about it with whoever you brought to lunch.
The Philly Cheese Steak ($14.99)
The hot, messy, grab-extra-napkins option. When you want lunch to feel like a real break from your desk instead of a snack over the keyboard, this is the one.
"The Dan" Turkey Avocado Wrap ($11.99)
One of the wraps named after a regular — turkey and avocado, on the lighter end of the menu. Order it and you're basically a local. (There's also "The Wayno" chicken salad wrap and a "Tim" Firecracker wrap if you want to keep working through the roster.)
The Horseradish BBQ Cheddar Burger ($15.49)
Carolina heat meets a cheeseburger. Horseradish and BBQ together isn't something you see on every lunch menu, which is exactly why it's worth trying here at least once.
The "Ole CLT Y'all" Quesadilla ($14.99)
The most Charlotte thing on the menu, name and all. If you're going to try the one item you can't get anywhere else, make it this.
