The food here is exceptional. I love the thin sandwiches, with generous portions as well as the unique kinds of dressing. The cheddar chutney is a must and their own special chips are a home run! When we are in the city, we grab and go. It's a real treat! Highly recommend if you are not simply looking for the standard fare at a NY deli.

William Poll is a very elegant shop where you can buy delicious sandwiches as well as cheeses and all kinds of prepared foods. They also have lovely edible gifts, granola, nuts, chocolates and other treats

First time in NYC — all three in my group tried the Poll Special and loved it! Flavorful bread, stuffed full of fresh meat, and sauced just right. We really enjoyed the thin sliced bread— a nice change of pace from dense sub rolls you normally get at sub shops. We also got the homemade baked chips, and cucumber salad (delicious!!).

Dietary restrictions: I have a milk allergy, and was able to eat the Poll Special by just dropping the cheese.

William Poll, which has been around for over 100 years, makes the most fantastic gourmet sandwiches in New York City, in my opinion. They are great to take to parties, very tasty, and make quite an impression with everyone. William Poll is famous for its chips and baked goods, too. There is a reason why this business has been around so long. I highly recommend it here!

Kalvig & Shorter Veterinary Associates

As business neighbors for many years around the corner from William Poll, our veterinary hospital team and many of our mutual clients loved deliciously prepared classic gourmet food that was served and delivered with a friendly smile to our Upper East Side community. Always, a personal touch and a warm neighborhood welcome awaited you when you walked into their bustling and cheerful shop of delicacy creation. From brownies for our staff, hot meals, sandwiches, potato crisps with delicious dips, and unique specialty food baskets, we loved it all and still do! It is heartwarming to know that this family establishment of high-quality customer service and classic specialty food has stood the test of time in New York City since 1921! Although we have moved further downtown, we proudly call William Poll our neighbor.

I was quite charmed when I walked in but it all dissipated when I saw and bit into the $13 Turkey and cheese sandwich I was given––perhaps the smallest and blandest I ever had. I went and had a real lunch elsewhere afterwards.

Caroline Curley

Cute place that seems like quintessential old New York and would love to try again BUT -Turkey sandwich was $12 for a small slice of essentially wonder bread, two slices of Turkey and one slice of cheese. Public school cafeterias have better sandwiches.Also a tiny single serving tin of Mac & Cheese was $15.

Me and my family just decided the chicken cutlet was a 10 out of 10 we are so ecstatic

My mom has been shopping at William Poll since I was a kid. My best memory was always of the Watercress dip she would bring home. I loved it, and still do. I was blown away when I went in and saw all the other insanely good options. I also recommend the Bacon Horseradish. It was amazing on my baked potato.

Good stock, kind staff, but hilariously overpriced. I bought a $13 sandwich that was disrespectfully small. Normal adults should order at least three sandwiches per person.
