“Thank you, Ray for the cowboy steaks. They were absolutely delicious. I came in wanting to get tomahawks and you told me about the cowboy steaks. You cut them fresh for me. What a great guy once again thank you Ray for making my party a success today the steaks were phenomenal. You told me how to cook them. They were absolutely perfect thanks to you ! ! !“

“Excellent food and bloody Mary’s - great staff and bright and airy decor. Perfect brunch and dinner spot!“

“I love there chop cheese and really every sanwich but I hate ordering at night because the young guy with curly hair always has the phone on so that no calls go through. It's pretty annoying especially when you see there's no orders at that time. Overall love the business.“

“The loaded fries are delicious. I know it looks crazy but this really hits the spot- they’re like hamburger fries. They are so generous with how much they make for you- I won’t have to worry about meals for a while. The good people here will make sure you eat well. SO GOOD!“

“I’ve always passed by this spot and today was the first time I walked in. Alex was very kind and hospitable and I will definitely be going back. If your ever looking for some halal breakfast and deli options these is the place to go. 100/10“

“Awesome italian deli with great bread and sandwhiches. They also have a small hot table w prepared foods and a small section of imported Italian goods and mets memorabilia. They own the bakery next door and I saw someone who ordered some amazing looking french toast and bacon egg n cheese on foccacia. They have a garden patio with seating and a fountain that you can sit at and enjoy. The garden area reminds me of my grandparents and elderly relatives. Love how the painted mural has the Bari mentioned.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was 10 years old, 24 years to be exact now, place gets better and better. Very home feel to the shop. A real staple in the community. Lovely family. If you want quality Italian food in Queens/NYC this is where you come to.“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“Great food, large portions and cheep“

“Fillmore Deli and Backroom is a pretty solid neighborhood spot with a surprising mix of options. The Korean fried chicken is actually really good crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. They also have a large variety of sandwiches, so there’s something for whatever mood you’re in.

One thing that always throws me off though is they tend to run out of the tuna pretty often, which is strange for a deli. But besides that, everything else seems to be okay. It’s a reliable place to grab a quick bite and the food usually hits the spot.“

“Great food. Nice clean space and all the guys there are super friendly“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“High quality food and top notch service. The online market and delivery offered this year have been fantastic and very convenient. Highly recommend.“

“The sandwich’s are priceless. The wait is worth it sometimes lol.“

“All 5's, because oh my god. It'll be best for the longevity of all of our lives to keep this place in business, because I have NEVER had such a great sandwich. The atmosphere is amazing, the food is amazing, coffee is bomb. The guys behind the counter are so kind and really quick. Got a breakfast sando, muffin, and parge coffee under $20 bucks in new york, and I don't think thats actually possible anywhere else, and it's better than everywhere else, so why wouldnt I. 100000000/10. Amazed. Go here!“

“The waiters in white coats are busy behind the counter, the menu has not changed for decades, and even the lighting seems to have remained in the last century - this is the old New York I want.“

“The best deli hands down! I’m a vegetarian and I LOVE how they have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Their veggie burgers are AMAZING and let me tell you about their Falafel burger!!!! DELICIOUS!!!!! The store owner and cook are so welcoming and nice! If anyone is around the neighborhood please pay a visit!“

“This place is a hidden gem. My first time going, im around the area and wow the food is delicious and fresh. Wish I knew about this place before, but this is going to be my new to go spot for lunch. Also the cook was super nice and the service was amazing and a super clean spot.“

“Wow 😮 who knew such flavors come from 🌱 basic wonderful fresh and delicious 😋 A.T.M Is original with a zestful layering ,each bite has bring an awesomeness!“

“I go here every day, i pass 3 or 4 delis on my way there because the service is exceptional, the sandwiches are classic and made with care, the coffee is cheap and surprisingly good, but mainly i go because i see how they treat people in a genuine decent way, in a world where love and care is dwindling, these guys have become part of my daily routine and its a pleasure to spend my money there and to be greeted every day by name with a smile .“

“Amazing deli. Talked to Mohammed a for a few minutes while I was waiting for my food to get ready. Everyone was coming in and out quickly. I had the chicken quesadilla which Mohammed recommended, and it was probably the best I’ve ever had.“

“Deli Bite is truly a neighborhood gem. Open 24/7, it’s the kind of spot you can count on any time of day for a freshly prepared sandwich made with care. The variety is impressive so many excellent options, all made to order, and always tasting as if they were crafted just moments ago. The location couldn’t be more convenient, and the service is consistently warm, quick, and attentive. It’s clear the team takes pride in what they do. Keep up the great work places like this make the community better.“

“Check out my IG @lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more footage of our experience. David’s Brisket House in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, is a real piece of NYC food history. The shop has been around for more than 50 years and still serves some of the best sandwiches in the city. We ordered the famous “3 The Hard Way” to try all three classics: pastrami, brisket, and corned beef. Each one was stacked high on rye, and the flavors were incredible. The brisket had that perfect smoky edge, and the pastrami was full of spice and tenderness. You can feel the legacy in every bite. It’s casual, local, and full of character. If you want an authentic deli experience in Brooklyn, this is the spot to visit.“

“Best deli sandwich of all time. Make sure J is on the grill he’s top 2 and not number 2. Prices are extreme reasonable especially for the area. Make sure to give it a visit. Bonus everything is halal and organic and locally sourced!!!“

“Delicious Breakfast Poutine!!!“

“Vegan food that makes love to your mouth! My first time having Jerked Seitan. OMG! Definitely worth getting with the avocado.“

“Friendly staff good food highly recommend this deli“

“Always enjoy coming to this deli. Always being one of those late customers, coming in around 1-2am or close to when they closing. Always greeted, friendly guys working here, and the food. Even if I order the same thing as usual. Always the best! Will continue to come here and plus with more selection of snacks and treats. Don’t forget the cat. Yall should definitely give it a visit too!! ‼️💯“

“The lunch specials are delicious! Quick delivery, large portions, food hot, need the meatloaf recipe!!!! lol!! Thank you!“

“Blue Star always comes through in the clutch. It pains me to have moved out of daily range of this place. Vic, Mo, and Rudolpho are truly the best- never failed to make me, my roommates, and friends feel welcome and always took care of us with excellent service.

Will be back soon my friends! ??“

“Please don’t change what you do, just keep doing what you’re doing. The food is awesome no complaints from BEC to sandwiches or wraps, its great overall. The owners know me well, very nice folks and the cooks are awesome as well. I live in Coney Island and I go here to get my BEC because thats how good is it! God bless 🇺🇸“

“I recently visited Habib Deli and I can honestly say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, they have a wide variety of options that will satisfy any appetite.

The service was top-notch as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. I didn’t have to wait long for my order, and they were more than happy to provide recommendations.

The location is perfect—easy to find with plenty of parking, making it a convenient stop for both locals and visitors.

A special shoutout to Ali, the owner, who greeted me with a warm smile and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s clear that he takes pride in both the food and the atmosphere of his deli. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Habib Deli to anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming experience!“

“Kips Bay Deli is my go-to spot! The food is always fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly. Their sandwiches are generously packed, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Great selection of snacks, drinks, and everyday essentials. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the neighborhood!“

“Sunny & Annie’s Deli in New York was a place where you could truly feel the authentic vibe of everyday local life blending with a wave of creative energy. I highly, highly recommend their signature menu, the Pho Sandwich—it is absolute perfection!“

“The food is excellent and their customers are important to them. They always go that extra mile to please them. The food is always fresh & “delish” (from their wonderful breakfasts to their homemade salads, chef’s salads, sandwiches…especially their Tambi’s Special…to their hearty home cooked meals). I don’t know anyone who doesn’t speak highly of Tamburino’s.“

“Service was absolutely 💯
Walked past looking for a quick meal after a long day of walking around town as a couple of tourists. Saw the proprietor outside and he welcomed us in and took care of us like family 💗

We'll be back tomorrow morning for breakfast 🥚 🥓 🥑“

“In my opinion best bakery in the Neighborhood. From the cook shop in the back to the pastries in the front. Unlike a recent review I saw I recently got their Flan and it was so delicious. I recently got their tamales and pancita this weekend and also the best in the neighborhood. Let’s not talk about the fresh concha’s all time. When it comes to Birthday cakes this is also my go too. My picky child loves the Cafe con Nunez cake!!! Now speaking about today for three kings day the Rosca was a must. I went around 8:45pm and they still had a line outside. I even bumped into my child teammates who came from the other side of Brooklyn just for the rosca!! Mind you at 8:45 they were still taking out Fresh rocas from the oven for us on the line. Needless to say that even when I got home the Rosca was still very warm. Everyone in my family really loved the Rosca. Its fresh warmest just got prefect with our coffee… Oh and the prices were the best. They did not overcharge like other bakeries in the neighborhood. Price was prefect!!. This Bakery is just the number one for everything so far!!“

“Best meatball parm in NYC“

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“I'm there pretty much every day, and honestly, you can’t go wrong! They have some of the best sandwiches and wraps, and the Caesar Wrap is definitely #1. Food is always fresh and great, and the service is just as good. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference when you’re there all the time. Definitely one of my favorite places!“

“I’ve visited Gorkha Deli & Cafe multiple times, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with care. My favorite is the chopped chicken sandwich, and the fries are amazing too. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a great experience. Definitely one of my favorite local spots!“

“I’ve been to Bombom a few times now and it’s always a great experience. I recently got two sandwiches from here and they were really good, made just right. The cashier is always friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. They also carry a variety of snacks, and they’re happy to accommodate special requests as best they can. Overall, it’s a solid local deli with good food and great service. Highly recommend! They also have a Cat she’s awesome and friendly .“

“I really like Fancy Deli. The food is always fresh and tasty, and the staff is very friendly. Everything I’ve tried so far has been really good. Great place for a quick and delicious meal. I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“The food here is very good and reasonably priced. It’s clean, bright, and has lots of menu options to choose from with new specials ask the time. The workers are very friendly and make the trip there enjoyable. Highly recommend this deli!“

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“

“I’m new to the Neighbourhood, but I just found my new spot. Tommy’s deli Is a nice convenient and well Established. The owner Angela was very nice very respectful and the way she ran her business and the entire presentation is a five out of five. It’s A+. She’s a great individual.
More so I had a dilemma and I just casually run it up with her, A stranger that just met while she was making me a sandwich
She gave me amazing advice and she made me feel a whole lot better About myself
The drinks and the food that I ordered from the place were delicious and I will find myself going there again.“

“Excellent tuna! Service was really friendly.“

“Nothing too extensive to say about Clinton Fruit Market. The actual store itself is your quintessential NYC bodega & deli, offering a wide variety of groceries, along with an extensive deli menu (not vegan). What makes them stand out, though, is their partnership with Plantega. They offer the standard 12-item Plantega menu in-store, but you can order from the full menu online through Plantega's ordering site. During my visit, however, the employee working the flattop knew about the vegan options but did have to look at the customer-side menu for the ingredients. As well, I originally tried ordering the Shrimp Po' Boy; however, they were out of the vegan shrimp until a new order arrived. This creates the common problem that I've found at these types of locations: the menu in-store does not seem to be as extensive as the one online, & sometimes you're gambling with the availability. This wouldn't be a problem if the prices online (even when ordering for pickup) weren't $5+ more expensive than the prices advertised in-store. Otherwise, I received a quality sandwich; I got the Cubano, and there was no mix-up with non-vegan ingredients. The flavor was fantastic on the sandwich, and as a little side note, the employee at the register was also very kind.“
