Absolutely the best sandwich shop in this area! Â Their quality bread and meats are so tasty. Even My picky 9 years old gave them a thumbs up and tried to finish his huge sandwich...
We had a hot tuna sandwich and the Tongue/pastrami/ corned beef sub with Swiss cheese! Â Serious. Â Goooood....
Have you ever had a sandwich and say to yourself there is to much meat in this sandwich? Well eat a Archie Bunker or a Honeymooner and you will! Best sandwich spot in the area by far. Great atmosphere and customer service. Glad I live 3 miles away. I used to ride by there all the time. Stopped by one day and Im hooked!
Review Source:I "heart" this place too!
I had the Tongue Fu sub, $8.99 size. Look on their web site for a description. OMG! Excellent! The sub roll, fresh baked makes it taste even better. I should have asked for a 6" size but did not know I could until another diner told me as he laughed at me and my huge sub. This diner wished me good luck on finishing my sub as he left. Since I am not as foolish as I look, most times, I ate 1/2 and took the other part home for dinner.
The business in this building keeps changing every few years. I hope this reincarnation into an Italian Deli stay around longer than the other defunct businesses. We need to support local places that are good, like this place, so we have more choices than run-of-the-mill, cookie cutter type joints.
They also have healthy eating choices. For example, order the Chef Salad (comes with roast beef, ham & turkey) if you want to lower your carbohydrate intake. Just go light on the salad dressing. For breakfast, order the egg whites with turkey bacon. If you want to feast out, order the "Hungry Man", gotta be enough for 2. If you have a large group, order take out. There are only a few tables to eat in.
Support a local business; GO!
My husband and I LOVE the NY Deli! Â My hubby grew up in NJ outside of NYC, and says this place is the real deal. Â Everything we've ordered has been delicious, and the staff are super friendly. Â We love the Times Square and always end up ordering the "Crazy Johnny" size - it feeds us several meals!
Review Source:This place is a little diamond in the rough. Â It is small and inconspicuous at an intersection that I have driving by for years and I never knew it existed.
1) The sandwiches are awesome (the Goodfella is a delicious gut bomb)
2) The selection is great
3) It wasn't crowded
4) Reasonably priced
5) Portions are big
6) Very clean inside (almost boutique-like)
7) Did I mention the sandwiches are tasty
I hesitated recommending it for fear of it getting crowded. Â It is strange that it is right at this massively crowded intersection and most people don't even know it exists.
This place is like a desert oasis! The best sandwiches and salads in the middle of nothing. About midway between the Branch Ave. exit for Walmart/Clinton and the street lights to Target in a converted house is some of the most well-conceived sandwiches. I love the Central Park- chicken breast, spinach or broccoli rabe, fresh mozzarella, banana peppers, ranch dressing on fresh bread. All the sandwiches come in three sizes and small is more than enough for me and prices are good for DC and a bit on the high side for Waldorf. They also make delicious and inventive homemade salads- mixes of pickled vegetables, artichokes, peppers, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, banana peppers, chicken, bacon, and the list keeps going. Pick one up for your next picnic adventure. Panini sandwiches are excellent as well but very, very filling and you may need to run a few miles to stave off feeling guilty. The owners/staff are great too- ring the bell by the register to tell them they're great!
Review Source:This place has the best subs around! Each one is delicious and huge. Their variety is wonderful. Don't bother with a sandwich, you have to get the sub. The portions are very generous, all their food is fresh, and they work hard to maintain the cleanliness of their restaurant. Every time I visit, they are always cleaning or refilling something and I have never been disappointed. Absolutely worth every penny and I encourage anyone in the area to stop by and try a sub. You will be extremely glad you did.
Review Source:After quite a few people told me I needed to check this place out, I finally made it on a Thursday evening. It wasn't crowded and there were only 2 orders ahead of mine. Very clean place and one of the employees was even cleaning the light fixtures. Impressive b/c I can't tell you how many place I've been to that had layers of dust collecting on their hanging lamps. I order the Empire State without the spinach and I added grilled onions. It was a HUGE sub! Great deal. Very good and tasted very Italian due to herbs and pesto mayo. I had a side of fries that was a mix of crinkles and steak cut--nothing special and needed salt. Â
I will definitely be going back. Can't wait to try more sandwiches.
Having a deli spot for out in the sticks is cool! I miss having a real sandwich, hot corn beef piled high made to order, nobody does it like Detroit. This place is good for lunches...and is sometimes hit or miss. I've had breakfast a few times and it was just okay.They have fun and different names for the sandwiches, but they are lacking flavor. That punch. The bread makes it hard to even enjoy the filling...In a pinch its a place to go. But overall...its just ok .
