50 Best Delis near Rockaway Beach

“Great food, large portions and cheep“

“Good Times Deli is hands down one of the best delis in Brooklyn. The staff is always welcoming, attentive, and quick, even when there’s a line. I usually grab the Super Chopped Cheese Roll and it never disappoints,fresh, loaded, and full of flavor. Beyond the food, it always feels like a true community gathering place where neighbors stop in, chat, and feel at home. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and service is consistently great. Definitely a go-to spot in the neighborhood!“

“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 literally have been at this deli since they opened. I love them. They know their customers/remember their regulars. They are soooo nice and welcoming. It's a small deli but they got snacks for days ? I will literally go to them over any other deli.“

“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! ??“

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

“I wish you could put pictures because the picture of this Grand Slam that I got from there today. Yeah, it's where the million words huge will cut meat. Just everything about it.“

“Awesome service and delicious food. definitely 5 star Deli“

“Aaron's Deli is more than just a deli—it's a community spot. Mama Luv is there almost every morning, greeting folks with a smile and real love. She’s like the heartbeat of the place, spreading positive energy and good vibes.

They’ve got your NYC staples like a solid BEC or a chopped cheese, but what makes this spot special is the rare finds—Seamoss Gel, Mullein Tea, and fresh fruit cups. There are plenty of healthy options too, which is hard to come by at most corner stores. Whether you’re grabbing something quick or just need a moment of good energy, Aaron’s Deli delivers every time.

Support local and pull up—you won’t regret it.

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

“Fresh food … always delicious. We ordered chicken parmesan for dinner. Everyone loved it. Chicken was moist and flavorful! Side of eggplant rollatini was perfect! Crowd favorite! Highly recommend!“

“😍😂 Love from Toronto, Canada.
The chopped cheese from here is insane! First one I tried and was the best one I had!! I can’t wait to come back. Nice corner store with a lil food shop too! The employees were very friendly and nice despite being like 2-3am. And clearly the locals were just as lit 🤣🙏🏽 I’d definitely recommend.“

“I was working locally and decided to grab lunch from Wheeler Deli after reading the reviews. The deli is smaller and quaint but has a large case of Boars Head meats, salads, and desserts. I ordered an American Hero, sides of macaroni salad, and potato salad, and a piece of the banana bread. They got right to making my order and the wait time was less than 5 minutes. My sandwich was fresh, crisp, and delicious. The salads were creamy and had great flavor. The banana bread was outstanding; dense and sweet and flavorful. The total for food and a drink was less than $25 which was a great value. I’ll be back.“

“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.“

“Yeah, I'll definitely be back. The food is really good 👍. I am satisfied but not sluggish. They are so nice with awesome souls. I am super proud of them. My experience was pleasant, and my sister loved them. That's a plus. I see why they had me 😃 laughing. Videos and photos below prices fluctuate. Bless up.

“From the sandwiches to the smoothies; The fresh pan dulce that my son loves to the variety of Hispanic products in stock.. best deli in the area. Service is always quick and friendly & the music is always bumping. True community deli right here“

“I just got back from a trip to NYC and my brother-in-law treated us to dinner from The Halal Guys in Midtown and I knew it would be good since it was the only food cart with a block-long line after midnight. In fact I liked it so much I wanted to see if I could get something similar nearby... and I found it! I got the chicken and lamb over rice combo and while it wasn't quite the same it was still very good. The only difference is it didn't come with the pita bread and the white sauce tasted a bit different, but not bad. It also has more veggies so more "crunch" but next time I'm going to ask to leave them off (I just don't like the crunch...). I'm very happy to have a local option at a good price and generous portions. Thank you Sam's.“

“I love this place, I've been going here ever since I was a kid and everything about it is perfect! The ambience, the employees, the locals, this is a New York Bagel place at heart. Not to mention, the bagels, pastries and cream cheeses are incredible. I've moved away and yet make an effort to come here every single time I come back!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
525 Deli is a gem in Brooklyn! Open 24 hours, it’s always clean and well-maintained, which is so refreshing for a late-night spot. The staff is super friendly, making you feel welcome no matter what time you come in. The food is amazing — from fresh deli sandwiches to hot bites, everything is on point. Plus, they offer beer, liquor, and a wide range of snacks, making it a one-stop shop for whatever you need. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Great community sharing the mission of high quality, local, organic and all natural food. Right here in Bushwick!“

“B&B Deli is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh, the sandwiches are on point, and the service is quick and consistent. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast or lunch, they’ve got something for everyone.

Huge shout-out to Hassan and Mina — they’re not only great at what they do, but they’ve got amazing personalities and will definitely make you laugh. It’s more than just grabbing food — it’s a good vibe every time you walk in.

“Great fresh food. Love the burgers“

“Simply the best! Una vera esperienza italiana!“

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

“Nizom is one of the nicest people you’ll meet at the deli. He always makes the food fresh, takes his time to get everything right, and treats everyone with respect and a smile. You can tell he really cares about the people he serves. He makes the whole place feel welcoming.“

“They say never judge a book by its cover ..
If it wasn’t for my friend who took me I would never have tasted a super tasty delicious toasted bagel with running eggs, melted cheese and extra grilled bacon topped with black peppers …

Just yummy yummy for my fat, well fatter tummy as I ended up asking for another one …

Super great and friendly staff made the whole experience even better.

Thanks for taking me there Jay …
Let’s go again :))

And so we did go again as I had to have that tasty bagel again. Yes I ended up having two more …

And I went one last time as I was leaving Kew Gardens and this time I had two more bagels added with fresh tomorrows and avocado …

So yummy …“

“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.“

“I went here today to get a beef bacon, egg, and cheese on a butter-toasted everything bagel with onions and salt/pepper. I also got the Power-C Machine smoothie from Naked. It was soooo good. That’s bagel sandwich was just how I liked it. It was perfectly seasoned and the onions were at my preferred texture. The bagel was as crispy as I liked and buttered. I recommend this sandwich I ordered for a fueling breakfast that’s packed with protein and carbs. The smoothie was the best I ever had. I think I might try their own smoothie blend that can be made in front of you“

“As a family, we’ve had chicken and beef Philly Cheese Steaks since we were teens. I don’t know how they’ve kept it consistent for over 20 years. We are life time customers and always visit whenever we go to NYC. Canada has nothing that matches this place.“

“Stopped in late with my wife on our way to LaGuardia for a red eye flight. My wife had the chopped tuna on a roll and I had the chopped cheese on a roll. The sandwiches were fantastic and we both regretted that we had not ordered more to take back home to Texas. Friendly and helpful staff. We will be back here every time we visit NYC.“

“**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!“

“Best deli and corner store in the entire city! Insider pro tip: they have awesome Indian food! They always overfill your plate and the prices are very reasonable so it is an incredible value. The curry chicken and curry goat both taste just like home. They also have Dal and Saag. I could not get enough. And unlike every other deli, they have a small intimate dining area in the back. Highly recommended!“

“Recently went here to buy some food for my family and they made it really quickly with good customer service. The store just recently added a ventilated fruit stand as an expansion and so far it’s pretty reliable and affordable.Love coming to this place whenever I visit this area“

“I'll say this if you're of Latin descent Or Hispanic this place will definitely suit you, it'll be way more accommodating for that culture while at the same time it doesn't feel like it's alienating other cultures black white or other all in all I like the place“

“I went in for the first time 8/15/22 they were very nice to me I told them it was my first time in the store and that saw their reviews on a great sandwich and I told them I would like a Italian hero with a lot of meat they didn’t disappoint on that at the end I introduced myself as Ray and to let them know I just want to let you know who I am because I’ll be back again as a steady customer and Carlos introduced himself this place is heaven thanks for being nice appreciated the service.“

“Places like this are why I say Long Island NY has the best food in the world. The staff looks and acts like they're focused on quality food and service. The deli itself is clean and organized. Get one of their sandwiches (I recommend corned beef) and for about 12 bucks you have a fine lunch or dinner.“

“Some of the most amazing tasting vegan food ever!“

“I celebrated my nomination this evening in this gorgeous place. Well we had a delightful evening and the venue was definitely the reason for this strong celebration. The crew collaborated in a very nice way, the cuisine was extremely good and my guests were so joyful. We shall no dout come back again for more joyful events. thanks very much.“

“Man working was very nice! I ordered the chicken over rice with everything on it. He asked me if I like spicy and I told him I like it extra spicy. He told me this would be the best chicken and rice I’ve ever had and have to say he is right! Food is amazing. Perfect walk from the hotels near the airport and well worth it and a very good price as well.“

“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.“

“This is an amazing deli. This is from the owner: We provide great food,our workers are kind. We welcome all our customers.
Our prices are decent. We recommend you to try out the food. Also, we provide fresh salads with anything you want and freshly made smoothies/protein shake. Always Fresh! Come try it out!“

“What can I say about Natural Farm Market, formally known as Your Deal Food Corp. It is my go-to stop for everything I need. You name it - produce, snacks, meats, cold cuts, everyday grocery items, and let us not forget the best part - their deli. Time & again I rely on my guys over at the market to whip me up a hot meal when I'm in a pinch, and the times when I'm feeling like making myself dinner they always have the ingredients I need. For living in a quiet yet inaccessible part of Bushwick, this establishment not only provides us with food in our shelves but connects us with our community.“

“Kimball Delicatessen is always a welcoming place, and the staff makes me feel right at home every time I visit. Their food is pretty good, although there can be improvements made. The service is friendly and efficient as they always welcome me by name every time I walk into the store. This deli remains a go-to for a quick and easy meal and a nice conversation. They always let me off if I'm missing some money or let me come back to pay later and greet me goodbye as I exist the store.“

“We had a special request with our catering order and they handled everything perfectly. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. Thank you!“
