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“

“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!“

“I absolutely love the attention to detail, the care and love of food that these chefs prepare. Love the surprise of not knowing what you get. They work with dietary restrictions.“

“I had a suprise 60 th and the Garage was excellent. Everyone loved the food and of course the main guy Big Frank Thank you again for everything“

“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.“

“Nice quick place to get food near the Ronkonkoma station! The kbbq is pretty good, I recommend having the rice on the side though. I really love the fresh drinks, it would be even better if it had Greek yogurt. I will definitely be coming back 😁“

“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‼️“

“So nice inside and the food is great!! it's about 10-ish bucks for a salad, and it's so worth it. I've gotten salads from the Pop salad section and i just tried a quesadilla with steak (omg soooo good, the steak is soft and juicy and seasoned just right). the salad is always fresh and tasty and the portions are big!! My quesadilla meal was about 13.50 without the drink but i have leftovers and I always have half a salad left so it's like 2 meals for 10-15 dollars...so worth it. The people that prep the food in the back are so nice too. Idk where they found these employees but they are just so genuine and friendly. Love this place. I recommend it to everyone lol“

“Food is excellent! Have used them several times over the past few years for corporate catering events, ranging from 40 people to 100 people and no complaints! Delicious food, both hot and cold, and excellent service! Douglas is great! Highly recommended!“

“Solid bagel place that's always consistent and fresh. Prices are high everywhere, but I'd say they are average and you get a nice egg sandwich for it. Best bagels in the area, but I may be partial considering its also the closest. Comparable to the top competitive ones for sure. You really can't beat a classic NY bagel, fresh out of the oven, fluffy and never skimpy on size or quality. It irks me when bagel places serve ones that are too hard, stale, or just taste like bread. These guys nailed it and I hope they are here to stay. Also, excellent customer service and staff. They keep the lines moving, are courteous and accommodating. Good variety of bagels, but egg everything and egg are always my go to 👍.“

“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.“

“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’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“

“Whenever it is takeout the food is DELICIOUS, even though the owners are Dominican, the cooks are from Hidalgo, Mexico and their Mexican food is top quality and good seasoning and the price is regular, it really is not that expensive for how delicious it is. this!!! ??, I RECOMMEND IT!!!“

“Great food! Fair price.
For those who are about to make a call for lunch I suggest call a head of time. Because keli s deli gets very busy during lunch hours.
Again great food!
Definitely recommended!
😋“

“We catered my son’s Graduation party and the food was absolutely delish! Good portions, kind friendly staff My only disappointment was that when the food was delivered the eggplant was not hot at all … just barely warm, however it was tasty even if it wasn’t hot!“

“Pete the owner is probably the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Always says hello and wgats going on. He make the absolute best chicken cutlets anywhere. The breakfast sandwiches with bacon are hands down the best I ever had. Due to his deli, I cant leave long island.“

“The best bodega in the area! Pupusas are always available & the food in the trays is super fresh! The owner is incredibly friendly and recommends a variety of dishes while you’re drooling over the buffet. We love building a plate of chicken & rice. Everything is delicious!“

“Great experience for a bbq at our home . Will definitely use again .“

“Best Spanish Food in the area. Fresh, delicious and good variety. Nice little selection of South American Fruits and Vegetables and bakery items also. And if your looking for the best sandwiches you'll find those there as well.. The owners is friendly and seems to really care about his customers and his business. The employees are great and always provide excellent service.. It's a must if your a local or passing through.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love their food made fresh daily. When you want to cook hot meals and not fast food this is the place to go.
