“We had yaphank deli cater our Christmas Eve and Christmas day dinner. Everything was delicious! There was plenty of food and the pot roast was amazing! Thank your for making our parties a great success.“

“After being in Florida for 5 plus years I really wanted a New York egg sandwich ordered a ham egg and cheese was just what I remembered also had a buttered roll they had them great rolls two young ladies working we're very sweet definitely will be back before I go home“

“Omg this place was great. The food was delish. This is the cheers of breakfast spots. Everyone knows everyone and the are pure kindness.

Kid-friendliness: They were Great to my Granddaughter. Even the other patrons were kind“

“Looking for a delicious egg sandwich and a hard roll. Coming from Colorado and sure have missed these.“

“Hands down this is the best spainish food on Long Island possibly even the entire state of New York!

I recently tried them for the first time thanks to the too good to go app and I am so grateful they did! The first time I had a beef dinner and a fried chicken dinner. The way they chop the beef and add different seasonings to it is what separates them from the rest.

I'm 49 and back in the day 5th Ave in Bayshore had all the good Spanish food but after 911 they all moved to Florida causing me to go to another place in Brentwood I don't wanna say their name cause it's all about Beuno Deli right now.

When I heard the name deli and was going there for dinner for the first time I was skeptical cause of the word deli, most people dont think about a deli when they want dinner I think you guys should change your name because the food you serve and the times you operate is definitely not like a deli. You guys downgrade your business by calling it that you are a restaurant and a very good one at that.

Whoever is in charge of making the recipes and cooking the food must have a culinary arts background cause those are chef dishes and not your typical generic plates you see in every other place. In other words you're not just getting rice and beans you are getting dishes that come with brilliant recipes not only that taste good but the way its preped and served makes it top notch!

There's a reason I drive all the way from Islip to Coram and I do it with excitement cause I know whatever I'm getting I know it's gonna be the best, other places don't even come close. To be honest I can never go to my local Spanish deli cause Beuno deli opened me up to a new world of taste that I didn't even knew existed.

The first time I went there I was blown away because when you pull up, the entire front of the store is covered with their different menu items you can get anything from a entire Lobster dinner down to your typical Arroz con Pollo and they close late like around 11pm what deli do you know that operates like this?

Keep up the great work hopefully you guys can open a Buenos Deli 3 here in the Islip area you'd guys would have people lined up all the way to 5th Ave in Bayshore lol“

“One of the best stores in Shirley. The family running the store are very nice, kind hearted, and hard working people. They will go above and beyond when it comes to customer service and accommodations. And they're sandwiches breakfast/lunch always on point. Thank you guys for everything you do and many blessings to you all.“

“I just ordered the Ballfield-Chicken Cutlet, Bacon, Melted Swiss, Onion Rings, Russian dressing on Garlic Hero , It was the best Hero I have had in a long time. It was packed with Cutlets and was so filling I ate half then a few hours later ate the other half. I will def go back for another order soon.“

“Oh my God we just finished the best breakfast sandwiches of our lives. We ignored our mother's training to not moan and grown as we ate our food because it was so good. So good in fact that we went back inside to thank the owner Muhammad for one of the best breakfast sandwiches we ever had and trust me we're professionals. If you're in the vicinity of Holbrook market and deli don't pass it by. Thanks again Holbrook Market and Deli.“

“Called Friday: "are you open Monday?" "Yes til 3pm". On Monday: check Google, open til 3pm. Drove 25 mins one way, get there at 2:21 to find a lovely hand written sign "closing at 2pm"... 8 people very disappointed ? you can have the 5 stars back the next time I'm able to make the long trip.“

“This place is the best. My son had a birthday party last weekend, and they catered everything; heros, salads, dressings. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Food was ready when the owner said it would be. I highly recommend eating at this deli. Proud customer for many years, and will continue to be!“

“Pumpernickels Deli is an absolute gem—a small, cute spot that’s impressively clean with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff, mostly younger folks, are delightful, efficient, and incredibly organized. They’re also so sweet when answering questions, making the experience feel personal and inviting.

On this visit, I ordered a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, and it was perfect. Sometimes it’s the basics that say the most, and Pumpernickels delivered. I’m also seriously considering trying their catering next because everything I saw looked so fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared.

This place easily outshines Bagel Express down the street. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!“

“I have had the pleasure of being a Thrifty customer for 44 years.
The owners are my friends, my family.
I have always loved them, their store, their food and their beer!
Recently, they have again shown their kindness, generosity and care for those in their community.
They graciously donated food to a family who lost their child after a lifelong illness.
Please support this kind family with your business!“

“Wonderful people. I was lost and needed directions. The owners not only helped with directions, but brought out fresh iced cold water and orange juice bottles and INSISTED that I take at least one.
Helpful kind and generous ...lovely people♡

Parking: In front of the store.
There were about 10 parking spaces that I noticed.“

“Fantastic food and nice people a must for good Italian food 😊😊😊👌👍“

“Awesome variety of food and service always with a smile. Would definitely recommend ❤️“

“What can I say this is one of the better delis I've been to. Good quality food, the chef knows what he's doing, the prices for some things are above average and for some things it's below average but it doesn't matter. When the food is this good, you don't mind paying a little bit more.“

“I've been getting my salads from Lake Deli for many years. I use to live in Medford now in Bohemia. It's over 45 minutes round trip but this is the only place that has the best salads I've tried other Delis. Just not the same. My sister loved them too whenever I went to Pennsylvania I had to bring 2 or more lbs.of potatoes“

“There is a great family and crew operating this deli. They are local to the area and know the people. The food is great and prices are fair. I can't think of a deli who's egg sandwiches can top theirs.“

“This place has really improved with the cooking and with the layout of the store the owners seem to care but the location is just a poor location because you always find riff raff throughout the store that seems to be the case when I go anyway I used to go to store all the time but not anymore too many badd people come in-and-out I try to stay away if I don't have to go..“

“We had our sons graduation party catered from here and everything was delicious!! Everyone raved about how good the food was … the owners are super nice and great to work with.. would Absolutley use them again ..“

“Lake Grove Deli excels in every way. I have lived in LakeGrove for 59 years and it has always been the go to place for all ages. When my children came home from college, their 1st morning trip was there. Their breakfast specials are renowned. Their sandwich offerings superb. The Staff complete the ambiance. This is a “must stop” that should not be missed‼️“

“Great place! Food is amazing. Very fresh and prices are as expected. I finally found a place that I can get real food in every way possible, breakfast and lunch. Great wraps, sandwiches, paninis and so much more! Just wish they were open later so I can get food for dinner :)“

“We catered my son’s Graduation party and the food was absolutely delish! Good portions, kind friendly staff My only disappointment was that when the food was delivered the eggplant was not hot at all … just barely warm, however it was tasty even if it wasn’t hot!“

“Great food always! Never had any complaints“

“I've been addicted to their homemade macaroni salad since the late '90's at the Middle Island store. The Selden store is the same. Don't know how they make it but it's honestly, the best I ever had. I've told them, PLEASE do not change the formula or i'd have to go to Macaroni Salad rehab. lol“

“I went there around 12:30 or so. The food looked delicious. The fish, the chicken, the beef steak, it was all fresh and well made and smelled really good. Their pupusas are good too. $3.00 compared to some other places where they are $2.75 the size of the pupusas was decent too. It didn’t fit properly in the container because it was larger lol.“

“First time going here and was greeted by the owners, very accommodating and friendly. They have a great selection of food and reasonably priced. They also have a great selection of fresh juiced fruits/vegetables. I had the BBQ Korean meal and it was delicious! Will definitely be coming back!“

“It was a very wonderful experience. The food was great and we got a lot for our money. The service was amazing and they do an amazing job taking care of the customers. Overall, it's such an underrated place that deserves more recognition. The wife was satisfied and so was I (:“

“Firehouse Deli is one of my go to stops every time I visit home. BEC on a roll w/salt & pepper/ketchup!“

“Never truly have been a fan of bagels, but stumbling upon this gem has changed that. Staff is always sweet no matter who I get, owner is always present and ready to step in when busy and check in with customers. Environment is always clean and presentable. Now let’s talk about their Asiago toasted cheese bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese! Amazing! All their bagels are delicious and always fresh. They have a variety of specialty bagels which are always fun to try out and make a great breakfast sandwich out of. 5 stars are fully deserved, thank you Bigger Bagel!“

“Whenever it is takeout the food is DELICIOUS, even though the owners are Dominican, the cooks are from Hidalgo, Mexico and their Mexican food is top quality and good seasoning and the price is regular, it really is not that expensive for how delicious it is. this!!! ??, I RECOMMEND IT!!!“

“I always loved the food here, especially the banana pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs. The coffee and omelets are also terrific. Homefries are tasty too. I was very sad when Danny's Deli a.k.a. Carman Street deli left doordash! I hope so much you guys will return to doordash so I can order some more super yummy breakfasts!“

“TJ’s hero is a go to sandwhich shop in the area. I live local and have never had a bad experience at TJ’s. The staff is very friendly and efficient in getting you in and out. The food is top notch and never disappointed. Absolutely love getting the breakfast sandwiches as well. Best quick breakfast and are very cheesy. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a good sandwhich and they just extended their hours as well!“

“YUMMERS breakfast sandwich“

“Really good breakfast sandwiches here. My go to is egg and cheese on a roll. I would just like it if they would have a dairy free milk like oat or almond for the coffee. They also should make sure they clean the grill and use a side that is specifically for cooking eggs only, one time my sandwich tasted like bacon and I am vegetarian.“

“I have never had fresher food at a deli for individual meals and even the catered food. Nor have I ever seen a deli look or smell cleaner- I guess that's the owners nursing background. I highly recommend the kale salad rice pudding, catered heroes, salads.... I've never had party Heroes catered with such large portions of side salads. Simply da best“

“Food is excellent. Prices are great. And the staff are amazing. Nicest place to go for a freshly made meal or snacks.“

“Just moved near here from Brooklyn. Amazing fun staff. amazing menu selection... great atmosphere ... awesome tasting food. SLAM DUNK wow I'm picky but this is great. I'm literally in the parking lot eating and couldn't leave without raving about it.“

“Hands down the best place to get authentic Mexican food and all the amazing Mexican items the local store doesn’t carry. The desserts are amazing and the owners are super friendly! The hot food is awesome too, I really enjoyed the ribs and Mexican rice with some maduritos :) also those churros and tamales are like no other!! 10/10Also, boyfriend ordered a breakfast burrito with chorizo and egg, AMAZING!“

“Good food here ! Come try the wings“

“Great local bodega. They have many dishes to select from and it's tasty. The prices are reasonable and the people that are working are nice. My go to is usually the yellow rice with beans and then some sort of beef or lamb. They don't disappoint. Go early though, because towards the end of the day, the options are limited.“

“They have a better cook now! Oxtails are great! Fresh fried chicken is good! Love the fact the greet and we get our Spanish speaking on so I can stay of my P's and Q's. My son's nick name is bacon egg and cheese for good reason.“

“If you are hungry for lunch have Georgie make you a hard salami on a kaiser roll or for breakfast have Peter make you a double egg,bacon on a roll with side home fries and you'll leave a happy man. Great staff, clean deli and good prices. What else can you ask for! Oh wait, and fantasic food. ;o)
PS. Have Ray make you his famous roast beef hero, melted mozz,brown gravy,on hero. Trust me, it's amazing!!!“

“I went in to this establishment this morning, as I entered I first noticed that the place was clean, then as I observed further, they definitely were organized by how much product was out thus emphasizes freshness, the front counter girl was very outgoing and had a personality to match, so far so good, I ordered a hungryman breakfast hero, a cup of coffee, and drinks. The order was handled in a timely manner, and the hungryman was actually the way a hungryman was supposed to me made, kudos to this establishment, not only was my breakfast made correctly and efficiently, I got the old tradition of service with a smile. Thank you guys! Definitely will be seeing me in the near future.“

“I never heard of Setauket Gourmet until a month ago. I've been back numerous times, and try something new each time. great selection, great specials, and all of their food is delicious.“

“Very cool and nice in here. I go here weekly. Best things is the hashbrowns and empenatas (not sure if I spelled that correctly lol.) They also carry beef bacon and beef salami which is halal and kosher the salami. Its boards head so its not some off brand cheap shit the salami.
I also had a chop cheese here which I thought was very interesting it was basically just a regular cheeseburger chopped up.
My regular for lunch is a BLTEC (beacon, lettuce, tomato, egg and cheese) next time I might get pastrami instead of bacon or I like a hungry man on a sub/hero in the morning because I'm a very hungry man in the morning lol.“

“Got Great 5 Egg Omellette with Unlimited Toppings for $13.50
they Dont Skimp on the toppings I got Bacon, Ham, Sausage, Tomato, mushroom, Chedder Cheese (plus 2 Egg add on to make 5 Total eggs)
Tasty & Chock Full of every topping
Great Place for Omelletes & Breakfast“

“Excellent selection of quality foods.Sandwiches and Eggs all day!!! Great homemade iced tea and brownies. It is immediately obvious upon entering why they've been open so long. Quality and cleanliness are paramount to a successful food service business and they know it. Delis come and go,but this place is staying. Practically a historical landmark.“
