50 Best Delis near Ocean Beach

“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).“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“My friend s try the new leggios deli the new owner s are amazing they make a excellent Italian chicken bacon ranch hero and an amazing pastrami sandwich they also make egg sandwich s“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“I love the food here omg I come here everyday“

“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 went yesterday and met the new owner and she was great. Go support this place the egg Sami is just like in the borrows and was best egg sandwich i had around here for sure. You will not be disappointed. Great place. Clean. The fridges are ice cold and the food was top tier. Got curly fries and chicken fingers too and also recommend. Support your local business. Give this place a try“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Superb Deli, Very Clean, Friendly, and Fast Staff. Great Coffee Bar, Out Standing fresh german style salads old-school way. Kitchen Grill is always going open till closing.“

“This place is honestly a hidden gem. My dad actually put me on to it, and now every time I’m in NY I’m feening for their Cuban sandwich, it’s that good.

It’s a small hole-in-the-wall spot, but honestly those are always the best, and this place proves it.

I’m super picky when it comes to food, and they completely exceeded my expectations, everything is top tier.

I ordered the Cuban sandwich and it was made to absolute perfection. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and high quality, and you can tell they use really good cuts of meat. No excess fat, no shortcuts, just clean, flavorful food done right, exactly how I wanted it.

The bread was perfect, the balance of flavors was on point, and you can tell they take real pride in what they’re making.

On top of that, the prices are honestly unbelievable for the quality you’re getting. You’d expect to pay way more for food like this.

It’s a true Dominican deli vibe, authentic, no frills, just amazing food. Definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to.

Highly recommend.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The service was outstanding—everyone was warm, professional, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal. I can’t wait to visit again!“

“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.“

“This might be a little delayed of a review, but I loved this place and am looking forward to coming back soon! I came here during World Cup season (huge World Cup fan, btw!!) with my other half, and the food, service, and atmosphere was great, I’ll never forget it. I got the Papusas with beans in them and some steak. Both were super flavorful, the papusas weren’t extremely greasy (woohoo!), and the steak was cooked perfectly. My Spanish isn’t great and neither is my boyfriend’s (I’m Italian American, he is Pakistani), but we were still able to order and communicate without any issue. Staff was so polite, beyond patient, and super welcoming. A family came in and my Spanish is broken, the family’s English was broken, but we did our best and ended watching the Spain v France game together and having a great time as a group (I was hoping for France, but Spain won lol). We WILL be coming back, and I’ll never forget this (and I miss World Cup season!!) 🫶🏻♥“

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

“Excelente servicio, variedad de comida, todo delicioso...se los recomiendo...“

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

“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.“

“Angel, Jose, Norma, Karen are alway very good“

Pleasant smiles?And they play cool music to help wake you up in morning and keep you going in the afternoon.Prices are great...quickly served...great prices.5 outta 5 stars for me....This is my deli now ?“

“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!“

“An absolute delight at any time of day. Unlike other similar eateries, this place has great food from morning to night. Really great breakfast sandwiches, great meal varieties and a welcoming feel. Coffee, cold drinks, international homemade drinks, fresh cut fruit, and all sorts of bare essentials. Fully recommended for a quick stop or to try some of the food.“

“Ben, come to Texano Grill, we have a variety of food and delicious Mexican cakes that adapt to the customer's taste, as well as delicious baliadas to your liking. Over a year ago, the place has changed a lot with more space and varieties of tasty and tasty food ? bread and also natural juices ? for ?% natural sugar free

“rica la comida y el ambiente agradable“

“I have eaten food from Captree Deli on various occasions through the years. Always very good, fresh food. Yesterday, 8/3/24, I catered a small hero, salads and pickles for a small group of friends. I was very happy with everything! The food was fresh and delicious, they did a beautiful presentation and provided great serving utensils with the order. Made it all that much easier. They are seasoned at this. It was an easy, seamless process. Thank you Captree Deli!!! You get high marks from me!!!“
