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.“

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.“

The prices are very good especially for the quality and freshness you get. Service is friendly and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Definitely a go-to lunch and dinner spot for me. Highly 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“

You can really tell they appreciate your business!!! That means a ton…Kindness and good energy goes a long way. Will be back“

“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!“

“What a delightful little local deli! We were visiting from out of town and filled up on all types of New York staples - Drake's cakes, Wise potato chips, pumpernickel bread, all the staples that make New York iconic for certain foods. The staff was very helpful and it was overall a great experience“

“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.“

“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.“

“YUMMERS breakfast sandwich“

“Lake Grove Deli excels in every way. I have lived in LakeGrove for 59 years and it has always been the go to place for all ages. When my children came home from college, their 1st morning trip was there. Their breakfast specials are renowned. Their sandwich offerings superb. The Staff complete the ambiance. This is a “must stop” that should not be missed‼️“

“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“

“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’ve been a regular customer for a while and even though prices have escalated every where they continue to provide only the best branded ingredients that make you appreciate their business and food , you want quality food this is the place I recommend“

“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!“

“I was skeptical at first but seeing how clean the place was i was intrigued to try it out. Not really knowing what to order i took a chance and was pleasantly surprised how delicious everything tasted and looked especially from the buffet. This place is a must in lake ronkonkoma. So glad I walked in and will be back to try other things on their menu.“

“great food wife loves there chocolate and tea“

“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.“

“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.“

“Pupusas of different varieties. I always have a hard time finding pirque chicken, I don't eat pork and here they make them. The Pupusas are of the best quality from various restaurants nearby. It is similar to the flower recipe but less peppers and that is how I prefer.
