I don't usually complain about this place because I get excellent service from Eduardo and the other employees. But this new guy (mustached) comes along and he seems to do wild estimates on prices. Why is a bagel with cream cheese, two 50¢ chips, and a small bottle of Coca-Cola $15? Are you out of your minds? Watch out for these crazy estimates and inquire. I didn't question him the first time he pulled this off. Don't make my mistake.

Was suppose to get $13 back not $3,no point in arguing about it after the fact but considering the price changes on the same purchase multiple times I have to say I’m no longer a fan. 1 of the guys working in the morning tried to charge me $3 extra on a purchase I always get not realizing I’ve been there plenty,I want a place I can trust with my $ that I don’t have to pay attention,no longer a fan,noticed too many times now&kept my mouth shut

Great deli, friendly staff, always clean in there too. Been going there almost 10 years now.

It's a decent Deli but not the best and it's not the cleanest for sure.
I wrote up this review summer of 2015 and tried to post it on yelp but I couldn't log in. So finally posting it here.
I just had the probably the best deli experience of my life or at least as far as I can remember. I moved to the neighborhood 2 months ago. My first experience with this deli was a little disappointing. My friend and I got cheesesteaks but we both thought they were lacking flavor. I thought maybe just a little A1 sauce or buttering and toasting/grilling the bread might do the trick and thought about ordering one again with those instructions but never did. Then I got a ham, egg and provolone on a toasted buttered roll (which is how I order it everywhere) and it was the best I had in months! So good that I think my girlfriend got tired of me talking about it! So then I got another, and I think it was the same cook, but he forgot to toast and butter the roll, probably because he was distracted being on the phone (shoulder to ear), and so it was not anywhere near as delicious as the one he made before. This morning I went to get another ham, egg and provolone, and Nesh (who isn't the regular cook) not only made it better than the last time I had it from the regular cook, but did such an all around great job that this will not only be my goto deli. Whoever owns this place should give him a raise. You must understand that it is rare for me to give such praise, for example I had such horrible experiences with Dell and Verizon that I will never ever buy anything from them again. Even though my experience with Empire State Deli hasn't been perfect, its has been rather good compared to other places and with Nesh's great customer service, I will go here more often. Oh and before going to this deli I read reviews here and I remember one mentioning teens hanging out and it being an issue but I've never seen nor experienced anything like the no matter what time I have gone over the last two months. Then I went back and got another ham, egg and cheese by the regular cook and it was only so so. I guess they should make Nesh the cook then it would be 5 stars!
Awfully aggressive employees.
