Which by the way come with homemade ice tea, lemonade or oj, come to find out a very nice gentleman had come out from the back and said next time we come we need to try the empanadas! He had just made them and well we can’t say no to an empanada fresh made!!! Well let’s just say they barely made it to the car, had to go back in and let him know how good they were!! Everything was delicious and we will most definitely be back!! Filling and delicious!!“

We look forward to returning when we are next in that area of town to enjoy more of your superb Spanish food. Thank you once again.“

“Busy place when we visited for weekday lunch. What a selection of sandwiches. Fast service, fresh ingredients, great tasting hand-helds. Even the small sides of fries & tots are large servings. Mostly take-out orders. Couple of tables in and couple out. It's going to take a while to sample even half of their extensive menu, but I look forward to it.“

“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.“

“Great convenience store/ deli. They have a little of everything in there. Delicious sandwiches with generous portions on fresh bread and a wide selection of snacks and beverages, including wine and beer. Staff is friendly and service was fast.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Italian hero delicious thank you so much that was so good 💕“

“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.“

“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 ordered a 3 ft hero, the presentation was fantastic! All cut up in a basket. The bread was so fresh and tasty! Will differently order from them again.“

“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 ..“

“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.“

“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.“

“YUMMERS breakfast sandwich“

“So nice inside and the food is great!! it's about 10-ish bucks for a salad, and it's so worth it. I've gotten salads from the Pop salad section and i just tried a quesadilla with steak (omg soooo good, the steak is soft and juicy and seasoned just right). the salad is always fresh and tasty and the portions are big!! My quesadilla meal was about 13.50 without the drink but i have leftovers and I always have half a salad left so it's like 2 meals for 10-15 dollars...so worth it. The people that prep the food in the back are so nice too. Idk where they found these employees but they are just so genuine and friendly. Love this place. I recommend it to everyone lol“

“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.“

“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.“

“Solid bagel place that's always consistent and fresh. Prices are high everywhere, but I'd say they are average and you get a nice egg sandwich for it. Best bagels in the area, but I may be partial considering its also the closest. Comparable to the top competitive ones for sure. You really can't beat a classic NY bagel, fresh out of the oven, fluffy and never skimpy on size or quality. It irks me when bagel places serve ones that are too hard, stale, or just taste like bread. These guys nailed it and I hope they are here to stay. Also, excellent customer service and staff. They keep the lines moving, are courteous and accommodating. Good variety of bagels, but egg everything and egg are always my go to 👍.“

“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“

“The most amazing BEC in a roll, seriously! Traditional deli. Family-owned deli. Adore this place. If you want a timeless bacon egg and cheese sandwich. You can't miss out here. The ultimate morning treat. Flawless. Simple yet scrumptious and attentively managed. A spot where they'll recognize you. I'll continue returning. My toddler had his inaugural BEC here. Grateful for the kindness and acceptance.

Kid-friendliness: Ideal for kids.“

“Bought chopped salad here two days in a row and they were both amazing!!! Fresh ingredients and made exactly how ordered!! Very well run, friendly staff and great food!!!!“

“Delicious sandwich’s and potato salad Chicken was great as well“

“Food was great as expected. I thought Tj Hero here and in Mastic Beach were associated but was told they are different owners. A little confusing since Mastic Beach is Tj hero s and Patchogue is called Tj Hero II. Was disappointed that they dont honor the specials of the Original but live and learn.“

“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!!!“

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

“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!“

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

“The food here is consistently amazing and prices are reasonable. My wife and I have been here about a dozen times since moving into the neighborhood a few years ago. We usually get a few tamales (green, red, and/or rajas) and they're always hot, fresh, and delicious. I've also gotten a few breakfast sandwiches here (bacon, egg, avocado) and they're also great.“

“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!“

“Pete the owner is probably the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Always says hello and wgats going on. He make the absolute best chicken cutlets anywhere. The breakfast sandwiches with bacon are hands down the best I ever had. Due to his deli, I cant leave long island.“

“The best bodega in the area! Pupusas are always available & the food in the trays is super fresh! The owner is incredibly friendly and recommends a variety of dishes while you’re drooling over the buffet. We love building a plate of chicken & rice. Everything is delicious!“

“The food here is delicious. I ordered a pastrami sandwich and my partner ordered a monte Cristo sandwich. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. We ordered some of the salads on the side. I wouldn't really get those again but those sandwiches were perfection. I will certainly be back.“

“My Husband bought me a bacon egg and cheese on a roll. Eggs were scrambled bacon well done and the roll was fresh, DELISH! A must try!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is delicious and so is the price !!! Highly recommend 👌“

“Best Spanish Food in the area. Fresh, delicious and good variety. Nice little selection of South American Fruits and Vegetables and bakery items also. And if your looking for the best sandwiches you'll find those there as well.. The owners is friendly and seems to really care about his customers and his business. The employees are great and always provide excellent service.. It's a must if your a local or passing through.“

“Omg. Quick Stop is under new management/partnership and there a noticeable change! A few months ago back I gave this place a horrible review because the food was old and other issues. I continued to frequent the store for non food items. Lately I noticed a change! New staff, a super clean store and the smell of freshly cooked Spanish/Mexican cuisine. So today I bought some chicken & potatoes that was in a delicious tomato sauce, white rice and plantains. All of which were freshly made and delicious! A large tray is only $8 but I stopped him from filling it as it would have been too much for me! I went into the store just before lunch so more food was still being prepared to be put in the trays. They also serve breakfast (fresh) and will have dinner options soon. Their prices are more than fair and cheaper than others. The staff are friendly and courteous (I was so busy taking it all in that I didn’t get anyone’s name). The guy in the photo let me try a sample of a food that I’ve never had before and it was delicious! Stop by their store and see for yourself. There are a new variety of foods, snacks and drinks to choose from as well as some household goods! Good Eats, Good People & Good atmosphere make for a good experience! He said there’s more to come and I’m looking forward to it! My new favorite place!“

“Love this place! Come here often for lunch during my lunch break and order breakfast for my family on DoorDash a lot. The staff are wonderful and food is always amazing and made/delivered quickly! I always recommend them to anyone looking for great breakfast/bagels/and or lunch who are local!“

“Small bodega with an variety of latina food. I have been here about 4 times the food has always been good, affordable and better than most others I have tried. The owner has always been pleasant as well as the cook. If you want Latina food that's affordable dont hesitate to drop by.P.s due to the area...expect some???? ???? happy individuals hanging outside.“

“I dont know if its their signature sandwich but my folks have been taking me to The Wunderbar for breakfast sandwiches for years. I always get 2 eggs over medium with bacon and cheese. They are very consistent, always delicious and use about a pound of bacon per sandwich. I look forward to it every time I visit.“
