“I just ordered the Ballfield-Chicken Cutlet, Bacon, Melted Swiss, Onion Rings, Russian dressing on Garlic Hero , It was the best Hero I have had in a long time. 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.“

“Bought a turkey club hero and was surprised at how big the sandwich was for the price. $12 and i almost had to unhinge my jaw to fit it. 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.“

“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“

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.“

“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 😁“

“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“

“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 went yesterday and met the new owner and she was great. Go support this place the egg Sami is just like in the borrows and was best egg sandwich i had around here for sure. You will not be disappointed. Great place. Clean. The fridges are ice cold and the food was top tier. Got curly fries and chicken fingers too and also recommend. Support your local business. Give this place a try“

“Easily one of my favorite deli’s in smithtown and all the surrounding areas. Been going almost every weekend for 1-2 years and haven't had one bad experience yet. The food is always amazing, fresh, and never small portions. Not to mention all the staff being very helpful and polite every time i come in, it really makes you feel appreciated as a customer !

Thank you for all the great food !“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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 mean they have so many cool creations. Definitely recommend choosing this as your go-to bagel spot if you’re near by!“

“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.“

We usually get a few tamales (green, red, and/or rajas) and they're always hot, fresh, and delicious. I've also gotten a few breakfast sandwiches here (bacon, egg, avocado) and they're also great.“

“My favorite place to get a BECSPK! (Bacon, egg, cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup)Plenty of other amazing food options as well. Free coffee before 11am with the purchase of a breakfast sandwich! While I didn't get the coffee this time, (juice instead) it's great to know it's an option!“

“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.“

“Had a steak melt hero (Manhattan) solidly packed with meat and not too much cheese - was pretty hungry as was a 3pm lunch. Hit the spot just right. Good value for money + Friendly staff as well. Would definitely come back next time I am around the area.“

“The young ladies that answer the phones and take the orders at the counter are the sweetest . I have never gone to Andersons and they are in bad mood. I tell them all the time I hope the boss knows how good they are. And they answer yes with a smile. Oh and food outstanding !!!“

“La comida bien y mui atenta de la chika de lentes de farmasia“
