“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“

“This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is stunning!! Some italian classics and some twists, amazing wines and for their prices it's 100% worth it. Love this place and I can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in NYC.“

“Loved the soup. Potatoes 🥔 were great and soda is plenty.“

“Ok, maybe I shouldn’t have picked marathon Sunday to finally hit up Frankel’s—it was packed! But what a great spot. I love their creative breakfast sandwich options, and the vibe was pure NYC energy. I got the pastrami, egg, and cheese on a challah bun, and it was exceptional. Perfectly balanced, rich, and just messy enough in the best way. 10 out of 10. I’ll definitely be back.“

“I’ve been in New York for the last three days and I’ve tried to eat at every great deli. Sharma’s is the best I’ve eaten while I’ve been here. It’s a little hole in the wall that makes a great sandwich.

This is what I remember New York deli being like years ago.“

“This is by far my favorite restaurant. Every item on their menu is amazing. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming as well. I make the excuse to visit the restaurant once a week from Manhattan“

“I taked to there "my kids" (im a babysitter) to have a açai bowl with a lot of tops. they loved so much and they tried the pao de queijo too, The Best.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“I believe I've found the locals' sandwich shop, where the pastrami is prime, and the soups are served piping hot. In my search for an alternative to Katz's, I stumbled upon this shop hidden in the shadow of the Flatiron Building. This place is so good that I went twice in one week. I'm a big fan of split pea soup, which was excellent, served in a bowl filled to the brim. The pastrami sandwich and the Flatiron Delight are both outstanding! Served with a pickle on the side. There is a bottle of mustard waiting on the side that is optional of course. I do believe this is the alternative to Katz, perhaps even better, avoid the tourist trap of Katz's and park yourself at the counter at Eisenberg's.“

“This place ended up being such a pleasant surprise. The menu had a really nice variety without feeling overwhelming — plenty of different meat cuts, cheeses, salads, sandwiches, and lighter options, so it felt easy to find something that matched whatever mood you’re in.

We started with the French onion soup, and it was honestly one of the better versions I’ve had in a while. The cheese on top was perfectly melted and flavorful without becoming too heavy, and the balance between the broth and onions was done really well. A lot of places overload the onions to the point where the soup loses its depth, but this one kept everything balanced and comforting.

We also ordered a panini-style baguette sandwich, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor. The bread had a great texture, and the mix of vegetables paired really nicely with the vinaigrette and mustard dipping sauces. The sauces actually stood out because they added flavor without overpowering the sandwich itself.

The atmosphere made the whole experience even better. The bright interior, cozy setup, and French snacks lining the walls gave the restaurant a charming café feel that felt both casual and inviting. It had personality without trying too hard to be trendy.

Another highlight was the staff. Everyone was incredibly polite, patient, and genuinely helpful when it came to recommendations. Even with the place staying busy, the food came out surprisingly fast, which made the experience feel smooth from start to finish.

And the Nutella crepe absolutely lived up to expectations. They definitely didn’t hold back on the filling, and it made for a really satisfying dessert to end the meal.

The only small downside is that indoor seating is limited, so I could see it becoming crowded during peak hours. Still, between the quality of the food, the welcoming atmosphere, and the friendly service, it’s definitely a spot worth returning to.“

“Wow!! I’m from France and was craving a Parisian style sandwich - so glad I found this place, it brought my right back to France. I had the smoked duck sandwich and it was so good. The place is very cute and they’re very friendly!! Will become a regular spot for me for sure“

“Caveat, I did go here pregnant after fasting for 15 hours for a blood test so this is a very biased review. I had the chicken parm on the rosemary potato focaccia. The bread was fresh. Sandwich was warm. It felt like a hug. It was just what I needed. Very small seating area so definitely more of a togo spot but I was ravenous, undeterred and a bit delirious so inhaled the sandwich there and then got a Nutella filled donut to go.“

“A local gem! They have the best Chicken Schnitzel in NYC! also one of the best pastrami in NYC!! Great sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and everything was delicious. Alyana was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive and also very informative about the menu. Excellent service and a great overall experience. Will keep coming back!“

“I taked to there "my kids" (im a babysitter) to have a açai bowl with a lot of tops. they loved so much and they tried the pao de queijo too, The Best.“

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

“I always come in the afternoon and evening but the employees are a bit rude and not attentive to details, i was out late with my husband and we were shocked to see it open by 12.30am, we were told later its 24hours.
The manager on duty moe was great, pure example of great customer service and great with people, amazing multi tasker, he was doing our orders and food delivery orders at the same time.
Store was clean and music was beautful, atmosphere was great. I actually sent my husband twice last week late in the night to make sure we are served by moe.
Thanks.again moe. You are the bestq“

“Travels great for any tailgate!! 10/10“

“I attended an event that had rented this space. It is very clean, well lit, everything with the space seemed to be working well. It is in a complex that faces a parking lot. My only suggestion would be better signage as to where the entrance is at. (Hint: look for the blue door)“

“we loved it!“

“Service wasn't to slow and it's a cute small spot so pretty chill. Family's frequent, however, I didn't like the stares tho felt like they've never seen POC but the food was really good. Definitely would go again but order to-go for sure“

“Sandwich was delicious. Loved the 70’s & 80’s movie posters on the wall. And the staff was helpful and had great vibes!“

“Great food! Had lunch catered to my business and everything was superb!! Thanks Guys!“

“I was craving for katsu sando and found the right place to have it. The bread was so fluffy and soft and pork katsu was so tender which went well with the sauce.
I also ordered fries with furikake but it wasn’t cooked well :(
It was so packed so I decided to order a takeout instead.“

“This was our first time trying this famous sandwich place. Thus, we were not sure what were the options. Unfortunately, they do not have a list of menu. However, they were very patient with us and told us what the special sandwiches of the day were. We got that day's special which was roastbeef. It was quite delicious. Next time, I would like to try a sandwich with bresaola (if they have).“

“I came today and tried Pietro sandwich and it was amazing! Tasteful and huge! It’s definitely one of the best sandwiches I ever had and I totally reccomend it! I live in Greece but I visit often NY and from now on I will visit Capone’s every time I will be in the city!“

“Great lunches very accommodating for small lunch gatherings. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Delicious home cooked food and Italian specialties“

“We catered a picnic for 25 people from them. The team went above and beyond, very communicative, thoughtfully asked how and what guests enjoy, worked with us to craft the perfect set of sandwiches… then came the actual day. They put together a very easy to transport box setup. I was just as enamored with that as I was with the food itself. Nothing shifted, spilled and arrived exactly as was packed.

The sandwiches were a huge hit with creative combinations that hit your taste buds in all the right ways. We had all ages enjoy them, from
5 yr olds to 70 yr olds. Huge thank you to the team for making my wife’s 40th picnic birthday a success!“

“Flew from LA to New Jersey and this was the first food place we had. It is sooo good we came back the next day after 😂 shout out to Ashley, shout out Vanessa, Shout out to Jose. Shout out Gerald. They’re incredible people and treated our team like family. The place is clean. They have free dog treats. They have little activities at the tables. They have good music. They have books and accessories. And the food is a little too good!!10/10 recommend 🙏🏾“

“Drove by this spot a couple of times and was intrigued by their decor. Decided today I was going to try it and I was really happy with the atmosphere and the sandwich was excellent! I had the “Lady Lover” cuz you know… I loved it!“

“I order from here a few times per week because I work in the neighborhood and Sandwell has become one of my favorite spots on the UWS. Creative and delish sandwiches (especially the Toasted Rivalry tuna melt please make that permanent lol) and the employees are very sweet.“

“Five stars all the way around. I’ve been in love since I first walked in. From the staff to the contractors that eat there it’s always a vibe. Yasmine is adorable and goes above and beyond for her customers. 💕🥰 lots of the to the management and staff“

“Omg the sandwiches are great and big 20$ it’s worth every penny!!!!“

“Delicious wraps! We go to the one on 102th st and Broadway.The only bad thing is poor service,workers have bad attitude! Makes your wrap taste bitter!“

“Cheesecake is one of New York City's most iconic desserts, and no visit to NYC feels complete without a stop at Junior's. Known around the world for its legendary cheesecakes, this classic bakery has been serving up rich, creamy slices for decades and has become a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists.

We decided to keep it simple and try two classics: the Original Cheesecake and the Key Lime Pie. The Original Cheesecake was exactly what you hope for from a New York-style cheesecake—smooth, dense, and incredibly creamy without being overly sweet. The signature sponge cake crust added a unique touch that set it apart from other cheesecakes we've had.

The Key Lime Pie was equally impressive. It had the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, with a silky filling and a light whipped cream topping that complemented the citrusy lime flavor beautifully. It was refreshing, rich, and the perfect dessert after a day of exploring the city.

Whether you're a cheesecake lover or simply looking to experience a true New York food institution, Junior's lives up to its reputation. The desserts are delicious, the portions are generous, and it's easy to see why this spot is considered one of the city's most famous sweet destinations.“

“Honestly, this place is so slept on... Krave It has the best pizza in Bayside— by a LANDSLIDE. I love that they use unbromated flour and I appreciate that every piece (even the specialty slices with many heavy toppings) has great structure, no flop. Thin & crispy crust, great ratio of sauce and cheese. I also love how clean the restaurant is. They have some incredible specialty slices that I never knew I needed in my life until I tried them! Especially the “Desi Boy” slice and the “white truffle chicken cutlet” slice. I also have to mention their vodka slice with sesame crust 🤤 Everything in this place is high quality, even their regular slices. Their sandwiches are pretty incredible too, and you can tell that the bread is fresh made in house— you don’t feel bloated or overly stuffed after eating them! The owner is super friendly and even gave us a couple extra slices to try to complete our “pie” when we had already ordered a small variety of slices. The staff are all very friendly and it feels very comfortable and less stuffy than some of the other pizzerias in the area. Happy to give this place my business. Give them a try, you will be back for more!“

“This week I had the best sandwich at this place! The flavors are fantastic, and each bite is packed with freshness. The ingredients are fresh , and you can really taste the quality. Whether you're into classic combinations or something more adventurous, there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for a delicious meal, you definitely need to try their sandwiches!“

“Ordered delivery a few times. This place is a savior when you need dinner working an overnight shift. The cheese burgers are amazing and the coffee is amazing as well. The delivery guy are amazing. This place is amazing and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Highly recommend.“

“They have the most beautiful chip display of any Subway I’ve ever been to - it’s just so perfect & organized & it made my OCD brain happy when I walked in. My boyfriend always gets the nachos and they’re (surprisingly) really good.“

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

“It’s really good the food portion is excellent the taste and flavor is good I highly recommend to try out Al chile I rate this a 9/10“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“Deliriously delicious shop in the East Village! The sandwich rolls were the best I've tasted in NYC and perfectly toasted. My love and I enjoyed The Hog, a vermicelli and meat salad with the best fish sauce, and a lamb taco. I especially was impressed with the cleanliness and food handling. Go to "about us" to read the interesting story of the two friends/owners who we were so fortunate too meet at Wheelers in Sheepshead Bay.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ COMPTON’S is the kind of neighborhood gem you want everyone to know about — but secretly hope stays just yours. The sandwiches are massive, flavor‑packed, and clearly made with care. From the turkey hero with lime aioli to the Jaclyn with eggplant, every bite hits that perfect bread‑to‑filling ratio. The Reuben is a must‑try, and their chop cheese deserves all the hype.

What really sets COMPTON’S apart is the vibe: the owners make you feel welcome the second you walk in, and the service is as good as the food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite at the counter or settling in at one of the few tables, you’ll leave full and happy.“

“The restaurant's position gives them good foot traffic, but their service creates regulars. Staff members deliver decent service. The food tasted nice and service was top-notch. The positive feedback made me excited to eat here. The workers provide attentive service.“

“Amazing place! Quality food, everything fresh, very friendly environment, multilingual staff and enough space for lunch/dinning. Prices very low and food portions are huge! Returning daily during my stay in NYC!“

“Loveee this place. I always get the chipotle avocado wrap and the mango tango juice and it never disappoints. Fresh, quick, and just hits every time. The recent renovations look great too. The place it’s really clean and updated, and it makes the whole experience even better.“

“Was a pleasure visiting this Deli the moment I walked in i saw a very clean place and the fruit the deli meat section was spot less With fresh looking fruit .they were very nice people had a great egg sandwich made perfect with a outstanding smoothie I will definitely recommend stopping here for sandwiches and smoothies and juice great place and clean.
