50 Best Delis near Fort Lee

“Wonderful food and staff and very accommodating“

“One of the best “clean food” spots in Fort Lee. Prices are among the lowest around, and the food is consistently good. The menu isn’t very complex, but they really nail what they do offer. There’s enough variety to find something you like, plus fresh juices to go with it. It seems like a family-owned spot — I’ve been seeing the same lady here for about 16 years now. The location is super convenient, too. The food won’t blow your mind, but it’s solid and dependable.“

“After a long awaited trip to the store, it did NOT disappoint! I ordered The Casa, fresh mozzarella and burrata. Life may never be the same and I’ll be making more trips to the Bronx for the best cheese I’ve ever had!“

“Very welcoming and helpful. I felt out of my element but they helped me right away. 22 dollars for a sandwich that could definitely feed two and maybe three. Even gave us napkins while we were eating outside. Very nice and a very big sandwich“

“Mutz is a soft, mild cheese. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it would struggle to stand up to roast beef, roast turkey, hot peppers, sweet peppers, and the soft loaf encasing them all in a piled-high deli sandwich.

This mutz shines through. The stories about this place? The Biancamano lore? All true. This old-school deli shows why they're an institution.“

“I love there chop cheese and really every sanwich but I hate ordering at night because the young guy with curly hair always has the phone on so that no calls go through. It's pretty annoying especially when you see there's no orders at that time. Overall love the business.“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“Been coming here for their tofu pudding for awhile now and it’s my favorite thing to snack on on a chilly city morning. The people running this place are always friendly and service is fast. Definitely one of my favorite places in the whole city. Their moon cakes are pretty good too. 💘“

“Fillmore Deli and Backroom is a pretty solid neighborhood spot with a surprising mix of options. The Korean fried chicken is actually really good crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. They also have a large variety of sandwiches, so there’s something for whatever mood you’re in.

One thing that always throws me off though is they tend to run out of the tuna pretty often, which is strange for a deli. But besides that, everything else seems to be okay. It’s a reliable place to grab a quick bite and the food usually hits the spot.“

“The waiters in white coats are busy behind the counter, the menu has not changed for decades, and even the lighting seems to have remained in the last century - this is the old New York I want.“

“The best part of my morning is stopping in and always being greeted with kindness and hospitality. The menu is clear and simple, but it won’t stop them from suggesting something they think you’d enjoy.

It’s hard finding a place so quaint and personable in the city. For me it’s the fact that the owner will remember you and immediately welcome you as a friend.

I’m happy to have found this place and become a patron.

P.S. thank you for putting me onto the beef bacon“

“10/10 Delicious pho sandwich

Staff is very kind, friendly, & efficient.
The sandwich is stuffed & packed with flavor. Very impressed, and I can't wait to return to try their other sandwiches !!!

We walked over to the nearby park to eat on a park bench“

“Great food. Nice clean space and all the guys there are super friendly“

“Forget bout everywhere else. Joe’s is the place to go. Mozzarella is the best - light airy milky and when you ask for unsalted you get unsalted. Only problem is that they run out of items if it’s later in the day. So go early.“

“I love this place for so many reasons. They deliver. They assist and carry you purchase to your car. The food is verr good ! Get the White pizza with Broccoli and Meat Lasagna with Eggplant Parm.“

“This one the BEST rice ball I have ever had!!“

“Stopped before Jets game for sub…. Great people! Super friendly and the subs were awesome! So much MEAT!!!“

“Amazing food, very clean environment. Great staff. Beyond reasonable prices!!!! Strongly recommend.“

“Plain bagel with veggie cream cheese 👌 just amazing. Perfect about of cream cheese in my opinion, and triple wrapped so it stayed warm and soft to eat when I got back to my destination.
Staff were so kind. It was quick to get in and out also.“

“I recently stopped by this deli, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm smiles and quick, attentive service. The place is clean, well-organized, and has that classic deli charm that makes you feel right at home.

The food was the real highlight—fresh ingredients, generous portions, and flavors that stand out. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, fresh salad, or something warm and comforting, everything is prepared with care. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

Prices are reasonable, and the quality makes it even more worth it. If you’re in the area and want something delicious, satisfying, and made with attention to detail, this deli is definitely worth the stop. Highly recommended!“

“Best bodega!!! Lived in nyc for years and no place hits like slice n spice. Amazing halal, smoothies, every snack and the ppl have amazing vibes just good customer service. U know when u walk into a bodega and tbe vibes are just off…. Never happens here. Best food!!!“

“Went here with a couple of my friends the other day and ordered the knockout steak and fries and i’m not gonna lie they say colonial grill is the best, in my opinion this spot is where it’s at. Steak cooked just right everything just amazing keep up the good work terrace ave deli🙏🏾..“

“I cannot speak more highly of this deli. Everytime I come in, I’m immediately greeted, the cooks know my order, everyone is extremely friendly. The food is spectacular and fresh and the prices are FAIR, and service is FAST even in the morning rush. This is the absolute best experience you can have for a deli. Everything is clean as well, and nicely lit. You can tell the employees are treated well and the management keeps this place pristine.“

“Great owner, friendly staff, and an awesome deli counter. Fresh Mozzarella is store made and is some of the best I’ve ever had. The owner has special ordered coffee upon request for me. Ridgefield Park Liquor & Deli is a great community store!“

“This cafe was across from my hotel room. Happy I came here their coffee was the best I’ve had in New York and loved that it kept on getting topped up like in the movies (from Sydney). I had breakfast which was delicious but they also hace a wide variety, excellent customer service.“

“We’ve used Federal Gourmet to cater our annual work event for three years in a row, and they continue to be fantastic. Each year they’ve successfully fed around 300 people, and the food has been a hit every single time—consistently fresh, flavorful, and well received across the board.

The entire process is incredibly smooth. Communication is easy and responsive, there’s a wide range of tray options with lots of flexibility, and the menu does a great job accommodating vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary restrictions. Delivery and setup have always gone off without a hitch. On the rare occasion when an issue came up (a missing tray), it was handled immediately and professionally, without any stress.

Overall, everything runs seamlessly from start to finish. I highly recommend Federal Gourmet for anyone planning a large work or corporate catering event—they’re reliable, accommodating, and consistently deliver great food.“

“One of the best, hands down.“

“I agree with everything you said there’s a really delicious wherever you eaten there and even service and everything God bless them“

“The best sandwiches in the area“

“Best deli in GP no competition, best Philly in the city, trust me I tried them all, scrumptious food. The Guys who run the place are super chill and welcoming it’s amazing they don’t rip you off like other stores, always have my precious red bulls and monster energy, not to mention the absolute gas import chips go here once and you’ll never look at any other deli again“

“Best downtown Deli. Manu sandwiches are phenomenal but they can also make whatever you want. Ingredients are always fresh and clean. Busy for a good reason but never a long wait. Been coming here for the past year and wouldn’t go anywhere else“

“The Real Deal In Italian Deli.“

“We visited this spot specifically for the pastrami, and it did not disappoint. It has a milder flavor compared to Katz's, which I actually prefer since it allowed me to finish the whole sandwich in one go. Katz's meat is so intensely flavorful that I usually need to take a break and cleanse my palate before I can finish later. This place is a fantastic alternative if you're in Jersey. The prices are reasonable, and the 8 oz option is perfect for satisfying your craving without breaking the bank. The Knish and macaroni salad were delicious as well. They give you delicious pickles. We’ll definitely be returning often. Update January 2026. Stopped by for some pastrami sandwiches. They are still delicious and worth every penny. Hot dog special this week, $2.00. They were flavorful with an awesome snap.“

“The reviews are all true . This is real deal Italian neighborhood food ! Homemade soups, cold sandwiches that don’t cut corners, hot subs done properly, liquor available, and genuinely good service from a family-run spot planted in one of New Jersey’s strongest Italian communities.

The power move is the steam table in the back. That’s where the nonna cooks whatever she felt like winning with that day.

Daily specials, rotating, well seasoned, zero shortcuts. I’ve tried several. They don’t miss EVER 🔥🔥

Daily specials change constantly and are posted on their website. Skip the trendy places pretending to do this. This one actually does“

“Blue Star always comes through in the clutch. It pains me to have moved out of daily range of this place. Vic, Mo, and Rudolpho are truly the best- never failed to make me, my roommates, and friends feel welcome and always took care of us with excellent service.

Will be back soon my friends! ??“

“everything is great“

“Best meatball parm in NYC“

“This place has been around for as long as I can remember. I vaguely remember them being in a different location though.....on the corner adjacent to them.....where CVS is now (they expanded that space. The place is small with no tables. There's just a couple of stools by the window. We always order delivery though. Family run by husband, wife and son. They are all very nice and delivery is always within 30 minutes. I've tried a bunch of things from there. Egg sandwiches, cold cut sandwiches, BLTs, burgers, pasta salad, fries etc. I haven't disliked anything. Their fries are a must get! Not sure why they're so good, but they are. As for the pricing, everything is under $10 which is great! Definitely check them out!“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“The #1 and the Chicken, Eggplant, or Meatball Parmigiana Sandwiches are literally perfect on every level. Expertly sliced, sized and also very fairly priced. The Daily Homemade soups are great as are the Daily Specials. If I lived closer I'd eat lunch here daily. Cash $$ only.“

“WOW…EXCEPTIONAL food and service! I got spicy japchae with shrimp and egg. This tastes like a home cooked meal and is the best japchae I have ever tasted. You can tell that the Chef poured so much love into it. She even had me taste the sauce while she was cooking! This place is a hidden gem!!! The kimchi is also the best kimchi I have ever had.“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“Vegan food that makes love to your mouth! My first time having Jerked Seitan. OMG! Definitely worth getting with the avocado.“

“Sandwiches are good, but I’m not sure what’s wrong with people taking the orders at the sandwich counter.

Probably a dozen or times I’ve asked them to add certain ingredients… it’s probably there maybe 3/5 times. They’re good at making their own menu items but lo and behold you spice things up with a little remix and you may not get so lucky. By the time you get home, slip into bed and crack the foil, you’re missing the fresh red onion! Or that banana pepper tang?! You gonna go back and complain? Nahhh - but it does get my proverbial panties in a twist.“

“Great deli that you can always count on for consistently good food. I went in and asked for something fresh and filling and got a wrap called the knock out. One of the best things I’ve eaten all year and will be back to try more unique sandwiches that they are cooking up!“

“Simple excellent food.“

“I recently tried the pastrami sandwich at Gurkha Deli, and it was absolutely fantastic. The pastrami was tender, flavorful, and perfectly layered, and the bread had just the right balance of softness and crunch. Every bite felt thoughtfully crafted.
If you’re looking for a delicious, satisfying sandwich in a warm and inviting setting, Gurkha Deli is definitely worth a visit!“
