50 Best Delis in Queens

“Well stocked true Italian deli with mostly Italian imports as well as an occasional American brand of coldcut or cheese. Five varieties of prosciutto to choose from and extremely sharp aged provolone and parmesagna are the real deal. Long serving deli staff are friendly and attentive, knowing their customers and their preferences. Around the holidays the deli has all the traditional Christmas foods especially panettone galore! The tops of the shelves fill with hundreds of Italian panettone of many elegant varieties: limoncello, hazelnut, pistachio, latte, nutella, even gluten free ppannetone. Prices are a little higher than surrounding import markets but not unmanageable so. This deli is a treasure of Broadway and a perennial favorite.“

“First time trying out , after seeing such great reviews and delicious pictures of the food, I was excited . I played it safe and got a BEC with avocado & it was sooo good! There was love in that sandwich and I tasted it . Super sweet and welcoming ladies , I can’t wait to go back and try something new“

“I saw that one review from the person saying their oxtail was bad, but saw a plethora of positive reviews standing against it. I decided to give them a go and do NOT regret it! Lovely little spot for a late night meal! The cashier was very pleasant with a great attitude. I came by after finding my Airbnb and ordered 3 empanadas: Jerk Chicken, Salmon, & Oxtail. This is not a standard menu option, but she told me I could mix and match :)

I loved it!!! WONDERFULLY tasty food and a perfect crisp to the empanadas - not too hard and not too soft/mushy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Nice good sandwiches.“

“Sometimes it's worth going extra mile to get what you want. 144 Rockaway Deli has REAL bacon, and other things .But This store has some good smoothies had to grab some before I headed out. It's usually a line because everybody's trying to get their order.But definitely worth the wait. I'm definitely going back to get a smoothie“

“I love a Deli that makes a sandwich you can bite every time! The bread is so soft. Sucker for bread. I just love it 😁. I ordered the Sweet Heart. Stop in if you want to know. My love decided on Chicken Philly. He said it's Great! This isn't our first visit😋“

“they are amazing, calm lil queens deli, but they can buss it down in the kitchen, chicken cutlet with bbq and turkey bacon slap, all halal, prices are fair. Typically cleaned, they need to fix that phone tho, I wanna order and have them hear me clearly“

“il gusto siciliano a New York e non solo“

“Excellent variety of feta cheese, at least 6. I don't buy feta from the supermarket, it's a waste of money, only from here. The frozen feta/ spinach pies an amazing easy dinner for both family and friends. The olives are amazing. I shop here at least once/ months. Parking in the back. Prices are good.“

“Prices for this economy aren’t terrible at all, he markets great, offered free juice (amazing btw) orange , ginger, lemon, carrots , very delicious and healthy, Carlos is just a positive and kind person and it’s a great personality to have in this business, he’s very very kind and this is definitely my new spot for the area. His omlettes and iced coffee are amazing, and the store is well kept and clean , you can tell it’s a clean business 10/10“

“We offer Free Delivery of all your prescriptions and medical supply needs“

Suggestive staff assists with selections.
Finishing touches still underway as deli is open for business. My chicken sandwich and steak sandwich neatly prepared and taste as I expected
*****“

“If you're going to go here for the sandwiches go here after 10:00 p.m. there is a kid working there He's Spanish The only Spanish kid working there, he makes the best sandwich. And don't be afraid to make an order that is close to a specialty sandwich he will do it and it will be a good price.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are safe here during the morning but late afternoon into the night I wouldn't recommend it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely not wheelchair accessible.“

“**Stephen Cafe / Deli** offers one of the most delicious Tuna Melt sandwiches I've had in years! The flavor is elevated even more with their packets of Cholula Original hot sauce. The cafe has indoor seating/tables for about 10 people and sports playing on overhead TVs. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to offer great recommendations. I will definitely be coming back!“

“🔥“

“I went out for lunch and found it to be a good choice. The food had excellent flavor, with well-seasoned dishes, and the service was swift, ensuring I was served promptly. This spot will definitely become a new favorite for our lunch breaks. I highly recommend trying the potato salad, which is creamy and flavorful, and the pernil (slow-roasted pork shoulder) that is tender and juicy.“

“This little bodega may not seem like much but it is pretty convenient, especially if you’re staying at the home 2 guest hotel down the block. They have drinks and snacks, of course. But also a pretty darned good sandwich deli and Mexican food bar.“

“Stopped by for breakfast to go. We ordered a toasted cinammon raisin bagel with cream cheese and a toasted poppy seed bacon, egg and cheese bagel and large coffees. Everything was tasty and fresh. Note that there is currently there is a $1 surcharge for any egg dishes. Payment by credit card and tap to pay available. The order was prepared quickly and staff were nice.“

“First of most 10/10 food and bevs.
pops did great building the deli,
Hawk is one of the best manager CEO mentality, with honesty and dignity.
Ezy the best worker I’ve ever met heart made of gold but don’t mess with him because he will crash out and you not going to be saved.
Watch out from AB something wrong with that guy he got demons in his head or something else and don’t ask him for credit very insane and mean worker.

Vanessa she is the best when it comes to breakfast she make breakfast meals that feels like its fr iHop her french toast is S tier!!!“

“I have to say, the workers are kind & speak with respect. Rare to get in customer service these days, but all in all they have the best chopped cheese! Definitely my go to store. I live right down the block, I just moved here recently & I have to say 10/10! The smoothies are very fresh & I always get the mango,pineapple,banana smoothie & it never goes wrong. One of the best delis in the area.“

“love their food and the new design of the store“

“Great quick service. Clean.“

“This is my go to spot to get any type of sandwich I am craving! From breakfast, lunch and dinner everything they make here is 100% fresh and made with love. The employees are amazing, so welcoming, and understanding. I sometimes order on the phone and if you order often they remember your order! Now to me— that’s an excellent way to keep and maintain rapport with customers. The buffet is amazing as well, they have a variety of proteins and carbs to choose from which is great.“

“I would highly recommend Apple Gourmet Deli LIC. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I have never had a bad meal there. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is also very inviting. I would definitely go back there again“

“Do not ask for anything in Salsa Roja. I eat very spicy but the cook here likes to practically put excessive amounts of Chile de arbol salsa and now I know why the cashier and the cook were laughing while making my dish. Totally wrong for them to do that. Salsa Verde is a better choice and delicious“

“Ahmed and the boys make phenomenal food. This an automatic purchase whenever I’m around. Not the healthiest option but definitely the tastiest option. 10/10 spot and awesome banter. Place has been around since I was a kid, love the food love the prices!!!“

“Open 24/7!This is my go to spot for sandwiches ? I call them up to order and by the time I get there, it’s always ready! A roll cost $4 - $5 depending on what you get.My go to sandwich is:- Honey Turkey ? ?- Mozzarella cheese cheese ?- Mayo- Ketchup ?- Lettuce “

“they have friendly staff and their food is always fresh“

“A true neighborhood deli! Run by a terrific family, each one is kind and friendly. Always clean and well stocked. Great hot food, too! We are in here once a day (and sometimes more often), and I can't imagine my routine without saying hello to my favorite brothers.“

“So glad they took over that spot, good food at good prices“

“I came in earlier this evening just to get a regular sandwich. Everyone was super polite and attentive. The young man who prepared my sandwich asked all questions to ensure customer satisfaction. And it was certainly made with good energy. I enjoyed it. Thanks!“

“I ordered a sandwich and a juice from them yesterday . The Sandwich was pretty good , but the juice that I ordered wasnt even filled close to the top , and in no way 24 oz. And there wasn't even a trace of ginger in the juice . The juice was still good though, but I really like the ginger spice which I think they just forgot to put any ginger in so that was a little disappointing. But overall good“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Big Apple Deli is hands down one of the best deli spots around! The food is always fresh, portions are generous, and everything tastes like it’s made with real care. Their hero sandwiches are loaded and packed with flavor, the breakfast options are hearty and satisfying, and the daily specials are a great value.

The staff is friendly, fast, and they really make you feel welcome every time you walk in. The place has that classic New York deli vibe — nothing fancy, just great food done right. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or catering for the office, they never disappoint.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a deli that delivers on both quality and service. Big Apple Deli is definitely a neighborhood gem!“

“You get what you pay for in these neighborhoods, and while this deli might price a thing or two above the competition, the service, skills and food are a cut above the rest. I can save a dollar and get a disappointing sandwich that was made wrong or with cheap ingredients in Bayside, or I can have a sandwich that is so good it makes literally makes my day. It’s an easy choice at this point. Best guys behind the counter, with decades of experience, and good will. Save yourself the frustration with the other delis around little neck, Douglaston and Bayside, and call in your next lunch here. Cheers“

“Friendly neighborhood deli which has good sandwiches, chicken wings , fries , shrimps and many more to offer. Their staff are always very welcoming. They'll smile at you and ask you if you need any help. The coffee is good too! They'll always go overboard in to get you a better service. That's why I keep going back.“

“Nice and clean deli beautiful and delicious 🥘 😋😋😋😋😋“

“Good Food, wide selection, of drinks, snacks etc. My favorite thing is the machine to make fresh squeezed orange juice- 7$ for regular, 8$ for large. However, the sandwiches and the food is expensive. Had a lamb quesadilla and Large orange juice was $19+.......it was good but expensive.“

“i'm a local for this spot and have been going here for years. i can tell you all if you are looking for some good quality food and quick this deli is THE place. hands down the freshest and most tasteful food from a deli i have ever had. apart frm the quality of the deli, after hours on late nights i often see clerks giving the homeless food and drinks. we need more delis like this in new york to restore what nyc was once meant to be!!!!“

“The best place in the area, to find or order hot and fresh food when I don't want to cook. They have for every palate, they have sancocho, rice with corn, white, Moors, stewed beans, stewed meat, stewed or baked chicken, mangú, cod, yucca with onions, etc.Good price!“

“Bretty good. Love the subs and convenient for Broad Channel.“

“When it's cold/rainy this is what I yearn for. She makes delicious tofu pudding/ douhua /Taho (whatever name you know it by). It's made warm and you can include the toppings of your choice. I just usually order tapioca. Make sure to get the syrup too (she usually gives it without asking). I tend to order 2 large with tapioca which equals to $10 ($5 each). Overall, this is perfect for a dessert or a quick meal. It's soft, sweet, savory, and every bit satisfying. This is a must have for me. So, I highly recommend the douhua.“
