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“

“Love Yaroa, hate driving to the city. The best Yaroa wasn’t in the city though, it’s a 15 min drive from me at bueno deli 2 🩷 just like they make them in the DR :)
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!

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.“

“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 😁“

“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'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“

“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.“

“The food here is consistently amazing and prices are reasonable. My wife and I have been here about a dozen times since moving into the neighborhood a few years ago. 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.“

“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.“

“The best bodega ever . Everything is always fresh and delicious. The food options are always extensive. The flavor is on point . The quality is consistent.

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...“

“I was craving chimi and dominican picadera and found them through Uber Eats. Omg everything it's soo good and the prices are very affordable. They are about 30 mins away from me, so it's better to order from them thorough the app. I'll be a loyal costumer from now on.“

“Ben, come to Texano Grill, we have a variety of food and delicious Mexican cakes that adapt to the customer's taste, as well as delicious baliadas to your liking.

“Awesome little place. Friendly, hardworking and polite staff and owners. I went there often while attending Suffolk Community. Cheap hot lunches, great food, clean and delicious. Chicken sandwiches are my favorite, always fresh and hot. I will definitely be heading back when I am on break from school.“

“I order from here on doordash quite often because the food is excellent, especially the tamales, pupusas, tortillas, potatoes, eggs and rice. I have only one minor complaint with the menu. Owners, if it is possible, PLEASE add beans to the menu, like pinto beans, black beans or refried beans. I love all the food and would love it even more with a side of beans.“
