50 Best Delis near East Islip

“I have been getting egg sandwiches from 117 for a couple of years now. We already know that no one makes a better egg sandwich for multiple reasons BUT LET ME TELL YOU. I just got a chicken cutlet sandwich for the first time from them and i feel obligated to let everyone know it was HANDS DOWN THE BEST CHICKEN CUTLET SANDWICH I HAVE EVER ATE IN MY LIFE. This whole time i always got egg sandwiches and today for lunch i went with the cutlet sandwich. I still can’t believe how good this was, and i have tried almost every egg sandwich and chicken cutlet in the islips. I promise you there’s no one that makes them better.“

“The food is delicious, fresh, fresh cooked and healthy. Sandwiches on fresh bread, tomatoes,lettuce, cooked and prepared with love. Served with a smile.“

“Bagel are good!! Service needs an upgrade. Usually bagel shops have 2 lines so that when u just want a dozen bagels there is no need to wait for all of the deli orders to be taken and then rung up. Wait today was crazy ! I only wanted bagels to go. Everyone in front of me was ordering sandwiches or toasted bagels. I am thinking those items must be good too because of the crowd size.“

“A landmark in Islip! New owner John and staff are awesome. Kleibers Deli has improved in so many ways but still has that down home country charm. The food is amazing!! So happy to have them so close to home. Love walking there for breakfast with my dogs who are always welcome and treated to some bacon every time we go. From small snacks, sandwiches to catering Kleibers is a hidden gem you’ll definitely want to try!!“

“Leggios saved my friends life. Craig walsh was riding his electric bike through the trails at Gardner Park. He became disoriented and got lost for 2 days. If it wasn't for his ham and american hero with lettuce tomatoes mayo and onions he would of starved to death. Thank you leggios. Your a life saver!“

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

“Best deli in the area and even in these hard times theyve managed to keep my family fed, while still maintaining our safety, by offering curbside to go. Awesome food (gotta try their new soups!), awesome people, and just really appreciate them giving a little piece of normalcy during these trying times.“

“We visited Vargas Fam Deli and had a great experience. The service was really good, and a big shoutout goes to Delmi, who made us feel right at home. Our breakfast was absolutely delicious everything was fresh, flavorful, and just perfect. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 experience, and I highly recommend stopping by.“

“Found this deli by accident when my co workers ordered from there and I am beyond impressed, food was so delicious, cooked perfectly and the staff were the sweetest people you will ever meet! Highly recommend!!“

“I stopped by this deli for the first time not knowing it was cash only. Without hesitation, Tammy kindly let me Venmo her, and on top of that, she welcomed me with free muffins. She was extremely generous and nice. Great food, great service. I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Tammy!“

“Great“

“So happy I discovered this place! Right across from the hospital and run by a really wonderful family, super quick and inexpensive too. I work down the block and have gotten breakfast and lunch here every day for the last few weeks and never been disappointed. One of the best bacon/sausage egg and cheeses i’ve had on long island. Chicken cutlets are made fresh and lots of good drink options and snacks as well.“

“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!“

“I traveled all the way from the Bronx to try chicharron with yuca. And the second time around no matter the time I order it, it’s always delicious and freshly deep fried. The Tropical Market II have great selection of Dominican eats. If You’re feeling soup, sancocho, arroz, yellow, white or empanadas .. It don’t matter you have choices. Come and check it out. TM II is the place to order and definitely don’t forget your merengue soda.“

“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“

“We didn’t have the food long enough to take pictures 😅 but we are so happy we stoped at Salpino’s to try them out. We purchased three sandwiches 2 of “ the classic “ and 1 of “ the supreme “ . We also purchased the Farfalle pasta salad and chicken Caesar pasta salad. The chicken Caesar pasta salad is my new favorite thing in life… I want it every day 😂 We also purchased the prosciutto bread. Everything was amazing. Including the employees. It was an all around great experience and we cannot wait to take the 45 minute drive to go back!“

“I had a suprise 60 th and the Garage was excellent. Everyone loved the food and of course the main guy Big Frank Thank you again for everything“

“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‼️“

“This deli is truly a gem! You can immediately feel that it’s a family-owned business because of the warm and welcoming atmosphere the staff creates the moment you walk in. The workers treat you like family, always friendly and attentive, which makes every visit a pleasure. The quality of the food matches the kindness of the service—fresh, delicious, and made with care. A beautiful spot that’s become my go-to, not just for the great food but for the genuine people behind it. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fast friendly service Healthy portions!!“

“The best macaroni salad we have had in a long, long time! Even my picky husband agreed! And the muffins (double chocolate and banana chocolate chip) were absolutely wonderful! Can't wait to go back and try more items (as well as buy those again)! And not to mention the prompt, attentive service!“

“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“

“Nice quick place to get food near the Ronkonkoma station! The kbbq is pretty good, I recommend having the rice on the side though. I really love the fresh drinks, it would be even better if it had Greek yogurt. I will definitely be coming back 😁“

“If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Dominican food at a great price, this is the spot for you! The menu offers a huge variety of options daily, and everything is super affordable. There’s usually a line, which says a lot about how good the food is. The owner or manager is always kind and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. The atmosphere reminds me of Queens—casual and lively. While there’s seating available, it’s more of a grab-and-go kind of place, and I always take my food to go. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“This place is home to whoever comes here. The food is home to whoever tastes it. This place is whole heartedly the best place on the island. Everything in one. This place makes the spirit and the soul happy.

Kid-friendliness: Family.“

“Staff was very friendly.. place is nice and clean“

Always fresh rolls, good service,,normal wait times, For breakfast,,this place is the best!!!“

“I wish I can give new owner 10 stars he is very good and knows how to welcome & treat customers , food quality is very good you can see when you walk in all salads and my favorite chicken cutlets prices are reasonable not a ripoff. Thanks keep it up.“

“We worked with Douglas to cater our company picnic this past Saturday. He was absolutely phenomenal! The food was delicious and he was able to grill everything fresh for us at the park. We will definitely be recommending Douglas & Simply Devine to all of our friends and family. Thank you, Douglas!“

“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“

“Great place. i go before work but sometimes the dressing on the sandwich is to much and the bread starts to get wet. I would say prices are kinda high but then again i like to get extra food incase a coworker doesn't have any food or to bring home for dinner. I do wish the bagels were a bit better. The workers are nice but one time i was getting food for a coworker and me and one of the guys said "what are you doing? getting food for a date" 1. i'm single 2. Bro i was ordering a Texas chainsaw sandwich. i don’t think a girl would eat a sandwich that big loaded with nothing but beef and bacon and cheese drenched in sauce. I brushed the comment aside but maybe next time just mind your business. other then all of that i love this place“

“My family and I have been going to this place when they opened Los hermanos. We constantly go there almost daily to get what we need and the people are nice. They now serve hot food and we just got breakfast sandwiches and they were awesome. Always going back.“

“Great deli, generous portions, quick service, awesome staff.“

“Excellent food and lovely service, can’t recommend enough!!“

“Best Food and Best Service on Long Island hands down! Can’t wait to go back 🙌“

“I've been going to this deli for over 10 years for breakfast sandwiches! They are literally THE BEST! I call in my order to Joe or one of the great ladies who cook and within 15 minutes it's ready and I'm on my way to work. Great food. Great service. Great people!“

“We got a chicken cutlet 3ft hero and deli wraps platter for an office party and everyone was raving about them. super easy to order and they delivered. we're already talking about ordering from them again.“

“Check out the secret menu item. New York Bodega Chopped Cheese! Why travel to the Bronx when you can order the Chopped Cheese in your own neighborhood. Chopped Beef, Cheese, Onion, Lettuce and Tomato on a Garlic toasted hero roll. Anthony Bourdain Approved!“

“The best bodega ever . Everything is always fresh and delicious. The food options are always extensive. The flavor is on point . The quality is consistent. I have come here several times over the years and I am never disappointed. Always delicious. And the people cooking , the severs are always full of smiles 👌🏾“

“This place is amazing! They are compassionate and empathic. We should have more of you around.So I live in Texas, and my father in law was admitted in the hospital for a life threatening condition. I was trying to order food for family member that was taking care of my father in law in the hospital. I tried to use Uber eat but all effort was abortive.Then I google this beautiful hero place, when I called, I was told that they don’t deliver, but when I explained my situation, they told me they will take my order and they will deliver the food to the hospital. They exceeded my expectations, they broke protocol just to make sure my family member ate. Thank you so much! You are a true definition of serving the community where you transact business.“

“Pupusas of different varieties. I always have a hard time finding pirque chicken, I don't eat pork and here they make them. The Pupusas are of the best quality from various restaurants nearby. It is similar to the flower recipe but less peppers and that is how I prefer.

“Love this spot we’ve been ordering takeout from here for a few years. They have great Dominican food and awesome chimis sandwiches. My favorite is the bandeja de $50 with pechurina (fried chicken strips), chuleta (fried pork chops), Tostones (plantains), fried batata and longaniza (Dominican sausage) its fire. The food is very consistent and always delicious. I recommend giving them time since they’re always very busy. That is why we always order takeout. ?

Parking: Parking is easy to find either in front of the store on the sides. There’s parking as well and there’s a supermarket across the street with a large parking lot.“

“Centereach Deli, cuz, that joint the north side trophy, feel me? Sittin’ right there on the corner, easy pull-up, no stressin’, no need riskin’ yo’ life crossin’ that wild-ass Middle Country Road. Everybody in the hood know that strip be chaos, so if you on the north side, you sittin’ blessed ‘cause this deli got you locked in daily, ya dig?

This ain’t no new hustle neither—been holdin’ it down since back in ’69, family hands keepin’ it pushin’, servin’ the block wit’ love. Slide through them doors and it smack you in the face—bacon snappin’, eggs sizzlin’, coffee bubblin’, whole smell like comfort wrapped in a paper bag. Ain’t no corporate cookie-cutter vibes, nah, this that homestyle grind, real-deal Centereach flavor.

Breakfast here? Straight legendary, nephew. Them egg sammies hittin’ heavy—bacon crispy like a fresh hundred-dollar bill, eggs fluffy like clouds, cheese melted down all drippy, roll warm an’ soft like it just came off grandma’s counter. That Hungry Man Hero? Yo, that a beast—eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese all fightin’ for space on one monster hero, heavy enough to lay a grown man flat. And them home fries? Golden, crunchy, seasoned like somebody auntie out back blessin’ every potato by hand. Ain’t no weak eats here, this a full belly guarantee.

Lunchtime? They still flexin’ on fools. Hot heroes drippin’ wit’ cheese, cold cuts stacked fat like shoebox money, wraps packed tight like a blunt, bread fresh on every move. You unwrap one, and it screamin’ “we feedin’ family, not rationin’ scraps.” That’s love in every bite, homie.

And peep the staff—real cool, real quick, always show respect. Call yo’ order in, and it’s hot an’ steamin’ when you pull up. Walk in, they greet you like kinfolk, treat you like you been down since day one. That hometown energy, nephew, that what make it stick.

Caterin’? They kings at that hustle too. Six-foot heroes runnin’ long as a limo, pasta trays stacked sky-high, salads crisp, whole table look like a banquet. Birthdays, game days, block parties—they keep the squad fed right, portions fat, prices fair, everybody leavin’ satisfied.

The streets already stamped it official. Yelp talkin’ “best egg sammie in the hood,” TripAdvisor droppin’ perfect stars, locals steady praisin’ the food, the flavor, the family vibe. Ain’t no mystery—it’s consistent, it’s proven, it’s Centereach pride, straight up.

Centereach Deli the one, fo’ sho’. North side corner champ, old school love, food hittin’ like G-funk basslines. Five stars, all day every day, no hesitation.“
