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.“

“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!“

“Bought a turkey club hero and was surprised at how big the sandwich was for the price. $12 and i almost had to unhinge my jaw to fit it. Service was prompt not only for me but every who came thru the door. No one waited to be served. The restaurant was clean and well organized. Plenty to chose from on their hot buffet .. and fresh too. Good spot.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing spot! The food here is authentic and delicious some of the best Dominican food around. Portions are great the flavors are on point and everything tastes homemade. The prices are very good especially for the quality and freshness you get. Service is friendly and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Definitely a go-to lunch and dinner spot for me. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Extremely friendly staff. Asked what was the best sandwich and was recommended the number 8. Sandwich was delicious.

You can really tell they appreciate your business!!! That means a ton…Kindness and good energy goes a long way. Will be back“

“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!“

“Great“

“This place is one of those spots where you can get a good bagel/breakfast sandwich and make sure it’s made to your liking. The owner is very accommodating and will make things that is not on the menu. I was craving a Pizza Bagel and he was able to make one. Good and honest people- they are on DoorDash and Uber too. Hope they create a rewards program!“

“I can't say enough about this deli and the family who have been running it for years. Hands down the best egg sandwiches and my mother absolutely loves their potato and macaroni salads. They always go out of their way to get to know their customers and have gone above and beyond for my elderly mother on many occasions.
They are not just a deli, they are an important part of the community.“

“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“

“**Rating: A+++**
I had a fantastic experience at Deer Park Deli! From the moment I walked in, the **customer service** stood out—the staff was friendly, polite, and professional, making me feel welcome immediately.
A special shout-out to **La Flaca**, Marcela and Monchy who was impressively quick and accurate with my order. The establishment itself is very **well-organized and clean**, which creates a great atmosphere for diners.
As for the food, it was absolutely **delicious**. I highly recommend the **Mofongo**; it is easily one of the most authentic versions I’ve had, staying very true to traditional Puerto Rican flavors. I will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Food is excellent! Have used them several times over the past few years for corporate catering events, ranging from 40 people to 100 people and no complaints! Delicious food, both hot and cold, and excellent service! Douglas is great! Highly recommended!“

“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 😁“

“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‼️“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“I’ve been going to this deli for 30 years,, At least 4 or 5 owners I know of, The latest owners continue the great tradition of the perfect,, two egg with meat,,breakfast sandwich and platters,,French toast is good,,never tried the pancakes,,home fries are good.. Always fresh rolls, good service,,normal wait times, For breakfast,,this place is the best!!!“

“Went at 11AM on a Sunday. The parking lot was a puzzle of cars trying to get in and out and just parking anywhere they could. There was a minimal line inside. We had the steak, the chicken and the Cuban sandwiches. They were all AMAZING. The chicken and the Cuban melted my fat heart. I then ordered some to go for later on, since I live in Queens. I hope I'm out by this area again so I can order it again. Cash only, and don't look for cleanliness, just order and enjoy.“

“I’ve been a regular customer for a while and even though prices have escalated every where they continue to provide only the best branded ingredients that make you appreciate their business and food , you want quality food this is the place I recommend“

“I was skeptical at first but seeing how clean the place was i was intrigued to try it out. Not really knowing what to order i took a chance and was pleasantly surprised how delicious everything tasted and looked especially from the buffet. This place is a must in lake ronkonkoma. So glad I walked in and will be back to try other things on their menu.“

“I’m writing this review because places like this genuinely deserve recognition, and I want more people to support a business that clearly cares about its customers.

For about a year now, I’ve been going to the West Islip library to study (I’m a student at Suffolk County Community College). I live in Deer Park, and the Deer Park library just doesn’t compare—it’s not a great environment. West Islip is quiet, comfortable, and actually lets me focus. On the way there, I’ve passed this deli countless times and never bothered going in.

A couple months ago, I noticed they had burgers on the sign, which made me think they probably had more variety than just typical deli sandwiches. Today, after class, I was craving a bacon, egg, and cheese and decided—on a whim at a red light—to finally stop in instead of going somewhere else.

Right away, I could tell this place was different. They had CALPICO and RAMUNE in multiple flavors, plus a variety of ramen and Asian snacks. That’s not something you usually see in a deli, and it immediately stood out to me.

But what really made this place unforgettable was the service.

It’s run by what seems like an older Korean couple, and they were some of the kindest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met in any food spot. Not the usual rushed, impatient “what do you want?” kind of interaction you sometimes get at delis. They greeted me warmly and made me feel completely comfortable—like I was being welcomed into someone’s home.

When I grabbed a room-temperature drink, they immediately told me they had cold ones, walked me over to the fridge, and helped me pick a flavor. They even took the warm one from my hand to put it back for me. It was such a simple moment, but it showed how much they genuinely care.

For context, I study culinary arts and I’m currently trying to get into the food industry, so I pay attention to service and how businesses are run. This is exactly how it should be done. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in their business.

The food was great too. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese with hot sauce and ketchup, and the hot sauce was different from the usual—in a really good way. It wasn’t just thrown together; it felt like they actually cared about making it right.

I walked in feeling kind of down—it was just one of those Mondays—but I left in a completely different mood. Hours later, I’m still thinking about how kind they were.

I’m not even exaggerating when I say this—I would take a bullet for these people. That’s how genuinely good they were to me. If they were hiring, I would work for them in a heartbeat and stay there as long as the place exists. I truly want nothing but success for them.

The total came out to about $17, but that included two imported drinks, so it makes sense. And honestly, I don’t regret it at all. I’d gladly spend my money here again.

This is officially my new go-to spot every time I go to the library. I’d rather come here than go to Dunkin’, 7-Eleven, or anywhere else.

I love this place. I mean that seriously. Even if I’m not getting a full meal, I’d go out of my way just to grab a drink or a bag of chips to support them.

If you’re anywhere near West Islip, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Businesses like this deserve to succeed.“

“Great food! Fair price.
For those who are about to make a call for lunch I suggest call a head of time. Because keli s deli gets very busy during lunch hours.
Again great food!
Definitely recommended!
😋“

“This place hands down has the best pizza in all of fire island, I tried to order a slice however a personal pie was the only option. When I paided 20 dollars, who knew I was in for such a treat. As jake(whom is a very fine gay gentlemen) crushed my pizza in the dough smasher, my mouth was watering as the edges of slowly protruded around. Then make sure to ask for gay jakes special sauce, wow, absolutley delicious, as he smeared it on the pizza, then put it in the rotating brick oven I could only think of the memories this pizza would have. Eventually jake(whom is gay) finished my pizza, and wowzers, the correct mixture of moistness, soft cooked perfect inside, with the rough exterior, it was perfect and slide down my throat in an instance. Spectacular job Dockside pizza, and you to jake(who is a kind gay gentleman).“

“So many delicious choices,I had the corned beef hero hot and it was Delicious! Foods always fresh and everyone is friendly and nice. Great selections on the menu for hot food and Halal food.“

“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!“

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

“great food wife loves there chocolate and tea“

“This place has good food and very rarely uses salt in their food, very healthy for you . There very nice people and prices are good
The only reason they don't get a five star is because they are often so busy, it worth waiting a little bit if you can for there delicious food.“

“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!“
