I was craving a chicken parm sandwich and am new to the area (Windsor Terrace) so when I found this spot I was stoked to go in and see what looked like a classic NY deli. Customer service was great, the guys were friendly. The sandwich was huge and hit the spot. You can definitely split it with someone else and be plenty full.

Wheelchair accessibility: I believe the entry was flat and wheelchair accessible.

Sometimes, the best plans are the ones you don’t make. That was exactly what happened yesterday when a leisurely stroll through Brooklyn took a spontaneous turn. A right instead of a left, and suddenly, my casual walk morphed into an unexpected food pilgrimage. No destination in mind, just letting the city guide my steps, I found myself standing outside John’s Deli—a true gem stocked with anything and everything you might crave.

Stepping inside, I was greeted by the comforting sounds of Sunday football—though these days, Giants fans might not find much comfort in it. The counter was packed with premade delights that made my stomach rumble on sight. But the real draw? The sandwiches. Specifically, the Italian, a staple that never disappoints. This one was a masterpiece: layers of cured meats, sharp provolone, shredded lettuce, marinated peppers, and ripe tomatoes, all generously doused in oil and vinegar. It’s the kind of sandwich that reminds you why New York deli culture is iconic—no pretensions, just pure, unadulterated flavor that hits the mark every time. So, if you ever find yourself wandering without a plan, make your way to John’s. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

Great food but constantly making mistakes on my order. I came home to find two large teas instead of two large coffees in my bag today.

Real throwback. Good beer selection and even a front counter with stools in the deli oasis that is Windsor Terrace.

The chicken parm was so good that I didn't even mind they disrespected my mother.

Yes there food is great. But they like that disrespect women.they disrespected my mother's dead brother. My uncle , they also have a couple employees with drugs problems . I recommend u go there but give the upmost respect because if u don't they might just disrespect your mother. 3 tough guys that's aren't thankful for a thing. There father blessed them with a business and they should be thankful for that. I am being the bigger person and not going in there bc if I do it may not end well. Disrespect my mother one more time that's all I gotta say.
