50 Best Delis near Setauket East Setauket

“Pumpernickels Deli is an absolute gem—a small, cute spot that’s impressively clean with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff, mostly younger folks, are delightful, efficient, and incredibly organized. They’re also so sweet when answering questions, making the experience feel personal and inviting.

On this visit, I ordered a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, and it was perfect. Sometimes it’s the basics that say the most, and Pumpernickels delivered. I’m also seriously considering trying their catering next because everything I saw looked so fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared.

This place easily outshines Bagel Express down the street. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!“

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.“

“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“

Also noticed they carry a lot of Dominican products I can’t find at other stores! So glad to have found this place while door dashing“

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!“

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.“

“Stopped for a quick bite on the way to an appointment. Let’s just say it was the best stop ever! Service was amazing! Food was amazing! Just was going to grab egg sandwich’s! Which by the way come with homemade ice tea, lemonade or oj, come to find out a very nice gentleman had come out from the back and said next time we come we need to try the empanadas! He had just made them and well we can’t say no to an empanada fresh made!!! Well let’s just say they barely made it to the car, had to go back in and let him know how good they were!! Everything was delicious and we will most definitely be back!! Filling and delicious!!“

“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‼️“

“The most amazing BEC in a roll, seriously! Traditional deli. Family-owned deli. Adore this place. If you want a timeless bacon egg and cheese sandwich. You can't miss out here. The ultimate morning treat. Flawless. Simple yet scrumptious and attentively managed. A spot where they'll recognize you. I'll continue returning. My toddler had his inaugural BEC here. Grateful for the kindness and acceptance.

Kid-friendliness: Ideal for kids.“

We will definitely be recommending Douglas & Simply Devine to all of our friends and family. Thank you, Douglas!“

“I've been addicted to their homemade macaroni salad since the late '90's at the Middle Island store. The Selden store is the same. Don't know how they make it but it's honestly, the best I ever had. I've told them, PLEASE do not change the formula or i'd have to go to Macaroni Salad rehab. lol“

“I ordered a breakfast bagel of sausage, egg and cheese on a toasted sesame bagel with a side of the potatoes.
I have to say it was the best breakfast bagels I have had in well over a year!!! Thank you!!!
I had to have it delivered and honestly thought it would be cold, boy was I happily suprised!!! It was still hot after a 20 minute car ride!!
I will definitely order from this deli again!
Once again thank you, I look forward to tasting other items off your menu, as will many others I recommend you to.“

“Centereach Deli, cuz, that joint the north side trophy, feel me? Sittin’ right there on the corner, easy pull-up, no stressin’, no need riskin’ yo’ life crossin’ that wild-ass Middle Country Road. Everybody in the hood know that strip be chaos, so if you on the north side, you sittin’ blessed ‘cause this deli got you locked in daily, ya dig?

This ain’t no new hustle neither—been holdin’ it down since back in ’69, family hands keepin’ it pushin’, servin’ the block wit’ love. Slide through them doors and it smack you in the face—bacon snappin’, eggs sizzlin’, coffee bubblin’, whole smell like comfort wrapped in a paper bag. Ain’t no corporate cookie-cutter vibes, nah, this that homestyle grind, real-deal Centereach flavor.

Breakfast here? Straight legendary, nephew. Them egg sammies hittin’ heavy—bacon crispy like a fresh hundred-dollar bill, eggs fluffy like clouds, cheese melted down all drippy, roll warm an’ soft like it just came off grandma’s counter. That Hungry Man Hero? Yo, that a beast—eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese all fightin’ for space on one monster hero, heavy enough to lay a grown man flat. And them home fries? Golden, crunchy, seasoned like somebody auntie out back blessin’ every potato by hand. Ain’t no weak eats here, this a full belly guarantee.

Lunchtime? They still flexin’ on fools. Hot heroes drippin’ wit’ cheese, cold cuts stacked fat like shoebox money, wraps packed tight like a blunt, bread fresh on every move. You unwrap one, and it screamin’ “we feedin’ family, not rationin’ scraps.” That’s love in every bite, homie.

And peep the staff—real cool, real quick, always show respect. Call yo’ order in, and it’s hot an’ steamin’ when you pull up. Walk in, they greet you like kinfolk, treat you like you been down since day one. That hometown energy, nephew, that what make it stick.

Caterin’? They kings at that hustle too. Six-foot heroes runnin’ long as a limo, pasta trays stacked sky-high, salads crisp, whole table look like a banquet. Birthdays, game days, block parties—they keep the squad fed right, portions fat, prices fair, everybody leavin’ satisfied.

The streets already stamped it official. Yelp talkin’ “best egg sammie in the hood,” TripAdvisor droppin’ perfect stars, locals steady praisin’ the food, the flavor, the family vibe. Ain’t no mystery—it’s consistent, it’s proven, it’s Centereach pride, straight up.

Centereach Deli the one, fo’ sho’. North side corner champ, old school love, food hittin’ like G-funk basslines. Five stars, all day every day, no hesitation.“

“I am re reviewing due the improvement I see on this place that I frequent. Girls are more friendly and efficient I meant they are more focus on customers. Food it's good but some they look a little grease. Place looks clean all the time and very stock of products.“

“This place is owned by a sweetheart of a man,his kitchen guy Darrin is great also .The. Major problem is the help ,Brianna is horrible,along with another women the one that where's her hair up with blond streaks.There rude to the customers and also there own helpers,I have never in my life have come across such offensive. Uneducated people .also Corrine is a sweetheart.But it's sad that this guy has to employe these people he can't find any help he deserves better .Like I said he is a great guy.And he makes great food on that grill.Best of luck Jesse...“

The staff were patient with us. No issues at all. And the food is great. Clean. Can't ask for better than that. I'm sorry to hear the negative reviews.“
