“Thanks to the food here, I was able to travel to New York while recharging my energy. For me, who was embarrassed by the salty, simple taste and expensive food in New York... It was my 'oasis' while I was in New York. I visited it every day for 5 days. Boss, you will prosper!“
“Great service - order at the front, cook handles the sandwich in the back. Neighborhood deli that apparently made the OG chopped cheese. It's a bit less cheesy than I thought, but it's very juicy. Love that its panini pressed? Be prepared and grab paper napkins.“
“This precious store brings back memories for my family when back in the day as youngsters our parents would purchase freshly made soy milk here. Fast forward more than 3 decades later, we hold on to those memories every time we walk into this gem of a shop. We see young faces working here now, which we assume and hope are the next generation of owners. One thing for sure is their quality and freshness has kept up, thankfully, unlike many shops these days.“
“So I am not a local New Yorker but I often come up from DC to visit. My main goal when visiting New York however is discovering and devouring delicious food. That being said, my friends and I spent a long weekend in East Village partying it up till 6am each night! I still can't believe we did that. But in the midst of our late night partying, we would stop to refuel by grabbing a deli sandwich at this small bodega. You walk in and there is a wall full of colorful signs describing multiple types of sandwiches you can order. All looked spectacular but on the first night I ordered "The Biden". All the ingredients spoke to me and man what a sandwich! The flavor explosion was incredible with sun dried tomatoes and avocado on a croissant. I forget what my buddies got but they were raving about them too. The next night I got a meatball sub with grilled onions and once again I was in Heaven. We all were. So please keep this small business going strong and check out their sandwiches. All across their walls they have photos with celebrities so clearly they are popular. Thank you Sunny and Annie! Your food was one of the best highlights of our trip.“
“Absolutely the best deli around !! It is family owned and you can tell that everyone who works there, loves to be there. All the food is so fresh and amazing. We have been going for years before we moved, we made a trip out on Saturday and oh have we missed It. Rick took good care of us. We will definitely make an effort and take long drives to come visit more. 1000/10 recommend“
“This place is such a great addition to the neighborhood. Great music with tons of music memorabilia to look at. Excellent food and drink but the real draw is the atmosphere. The owners are awesome too - they just want everyone to have a good time.“
“Seneca Garden is a complete neighborhood gem! And I am so grateful for them! Gregory and his entire staff are always so friendly. The products they carry and their homemade food are of excellent quality, and incredibly reasonably priced. And I can’t forget to mention the pierogi are amazing as well!“
“Best chicken cutlet in the area. Left a note for an order specification that they were not seeing (that I was not aware about). I left a lower than usual review because it was happening more than once as I am a regular customer. Immediately they were on it. The next time I placed an order I received a phone call from the owner herself to make sure they knew what went wrong and how they could fix it. This business truly values their customers and really go the extra mile. Great food and great people make for a great experience! Highly recommend to all in the bayside area!“
“Super delicious vegan sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. These sandwiches really nail it! Bread is delicious, faux meats are very yummy. Also make sure that you go for the fries! ? This is not fast food, so order ahead if you need to make a quick pickup.“
“I just got a Chopped Cheese and it was quite possibly the best sandwich I've ever had. The vibe inside was so friendly. They new most of their customer's names and were so welcoming. I won't go to another neighborhood deli...this is the only one for me!“
“CHOPPED CHEESE! People, this is the best chopped cheese. It’s perfectly crispy yet still juicy from the beef fat and condiments. Nothing beats this. Every time I had it, it was like taking a bite as if it was the first. Name a better feeling.Major shout out to the staff at Smith, so kind and smiley even at 1 am, and an extra thank you to the man who makes me a chopped cheese every time I come in.“
“I tried the place for the 1st time around 1 week ago. I've been back again I really enjoyed the chicken wings and my smashed bacon cheeseburger I tried a beer called a Cloud in the Sky it was awesome I will definitely be eating there again“
“Let me tell you something about this deli, for it being my first time in New York and wanting to try a Chopped Cheese… it was 100000/10!Made with love and care! The staff was amazing af, welcoming, gave me tips and cracked jokes.The chopped cheese was phenomenal!!! I strongly recommend this place.“
“Greene Bites is one of those spots you go to when you're craving a bacon egg and cheese at 1 in the morning. From my first time walking in, I knew this place was it. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly, their coffee keeps me going and the music is always on point. They have so many options you can't really go wrong. If you're in the neighborhood, make sure to check this spot out. 10/10 for this place!“
“This place has been around for a long while, but I only came here for the first time this past summer, and now, whenever I find myself in the area, I try to come by here for a nice fresh sandwich for lunch. I'll usually get their fresh mozzarella hero, and I'll add tomatoes and peppers as well. They have hot tray daily specials, as well as other specialty Italian ingredients. I love that they're Mets fans and I want to try to support these guys as it's rare to see businesses last for decades now.“
“This deli is the best! I get a smoothie from there almost every day, and it is 10000% better than any overpriced chain you might find in the neighborhood. Victor is the sweetest and has made me feel right at home since I moved to Williamsburg. Hard workers, humble, and some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet :)“
“A proper authentic old school deli with real genuine kind owners who are passionate and care about their products and service. The food matches its authenticity. (They use regionally sourced Dietz and Watson and even have grass fed burgers) Other delis, restaurants, or any other type of business for that matter, take note - this is how it's done. One of NYC's best kept secrets and kind of want to keep it that way, but that would be selfish of me not to spread the word of just how good it is. As a NYC native, I can tell you I've tried my fair share of Deli's and finding the best BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese) around, and this one by far tops the list in any category.“
“There not racist like the 7/11 workers and they make great sandwiches and they sell a lot of snacks which is great for me when I go to school and there cheap un like 7/11. I like how they treat everyone with respect. Also good customer service“
“Needed something fast and this place was close to my hotel. Absolutely delicious. I got a bacon, egg and cheese bagel and it was cooked to perfection. Great flavor, hot and the bagel was delicious. Enjoyed it so much I canceled my dinner plans and went back for a Reuben and onion rings. Highly recommend. I will crave this place and can’t wait to be back in the city to eat here again.“
“Good Neighbor Queens is phenomenal! Being a person that goes to the gym, I am always looking for fresh, nutritious, and delicious food. Good Neighbor Queens checks off all of those boxes! Their smoothies and protein shakes are simply outstanding too. Lastly, they have impeccable customer service that makes the entire experience all the more better.“
“A New York institution. Expect queues but it moves fast. Love the pastrami and also the corned beef sandwiches. Do note portions are huge and one sandwich can feed two if you are not a large eater. Some other Jewish food available like Matzo balls, chicken noodle soup. Of course, having been the location for a scene in Harry Met Sally makes it even more popular!“
“Yes there food is great. But they like that disrespect women.they disrespected my mother's dead brother. My uncle , they also have a couple employees with drugs problems . I recommend u go there but give the upmost respect because if u don't they might just disrespect your mother. 3 tough guys that's aren't thankful for a thing. There father blessed them with a business and they should be thankful for that. I am being the bigger person and not going in there bc if I do it may not end well. Disrespect my mother one more time that's all I gotta say.“
“It was our place for all the days we visited New York, the attention received was excellent, the food very good and enough quantities that you would not be hungry until noon.The owner was a splendid person and Miguel, the person who attended to us at all times, was a great person.Thank you both for the courteous and close treatment you had with us, especially with our daughter.“
“There were not many places open on Christmas Eve in New York City and I knew that this deli, now named the "9th Avenue Gourmet Deli", its third name change in five years, would be open. It was really busy that evening because everyone had the same idea. I ordered a Cheeseburger Platter, which was a large hamburger patty that was perfectly cooked and served with a large side of fries. I had the Chicken Fingers that was a nice sized portion of nicely breaded breast meat that was perfectly fried out also served with a large portion of fries. The portion sizes here are really large. The service was really nice and is always so friendly and organized. It is a great place for breakfast too.“
“This is a hidden gym for authentic delicoius Korean food. Me and a friend went after watching a movie. Two orders of Bi-bim-baps took 20 minutes as she made them from scratch. She then gave us some free radish kimchi as a side. Very nice woman, and great food that is reasonably priced. I would gladly go again.“
“Amazing little spot that has excellent service, bagels and coffee! Coming from Canada it’s a joy to pop into places like this and still get amazing food. Going back for a bigger sandwich soon!Update: sausage egg and cheese is amazing. Better than the last one I had somewhere else!“
“I love this Deli and how convenient it is. The foods always on point and they’re very hospitable and kind. Chico, Raul, and Danny are always super nice and treat their customers with nothing but the best customer service. Keep up the good work!!! I’d rate this place higher if I could ????Dietary restrictions: They have practically everything, so no matter what lifestyle diet you have, they can provide.Kid-friendliness: they’re very friendly with anyone who comes in regardless of age“
“This store is very friendly and helpful many times I didn't have enough to get my toddler the snacks he desired but the guy would often let me slide in the most nice way and I noticed the kindness and sit I appreciate it wish there were more people out here like him because a lot of us single moms struggle low key“
“They absolutely cater to you. If you visit you have to try the Boar's Head Pastrami coated Turkey. DELICIOUS!!!!!!Vegetarian options: The sell sandwiches, you can do no meat no dairy options.Wheelchair accessibility: It is ground level access.“
“Excellent, everyone is super friendly, the food is very fresh and everything is served in the day and the prices are very good. You can eat there, you buy drinks in the supermarket. We went as a family and we loved that place. We always eat there after long days of exploring NYC.“
“Nothing but good things to say about Olive and Garlic! Solid selection of snacks and lighter fare; great deli counter; and hours that can't be beat in this sleepy corner of Brooklyn.It's like an elevated corner deli, definitely one of the best options for over the counter food and snacks in Montague.“
“When I come in I am always treated with respect and the owner and his wife are always respectful. I’m surprised by other peoples comments. This is the fourth time I come in and this time I asked for a western omelette with egg whites and avocado ohh yeah and I added some jalapeños. This order comes also with two slices of buttered bread. Let me tell you it was delicious and it was just $8! Can’t get better than that!“
“I work in the area & have been sleeping on this place for years because I assumed it would be overpriced but boy was I wrong! Probably the most affordable deli in the area - I have been getting my lunch here now - usually a BLT, chips & chocolate & its less than $10 & very satisfying for the day. Staff are very profession & move exceptionally fast - even at 1pm on a weekday I'm in there for less than 10 minutes total. My partner has gotten the fresh juice (ginger + orange) there & thoroughly enjoyed it as well - a standard medium-large cup was about $7 I believe not bad for the area for sure.Dietary restrictions: All bacon is turkey bacon“
“I got the jerk chicken empanada and a breakfast bagel with hash browns, egg and cheese. Everything was solid - they did not skimp on the quantity and the flavors were amazing. Definitely ordering again and looking forward to trying their sandwiches!“
“Love their Ice coffee! It's real not cold brew. They make great smoothies and sandwiches. Breakfast wraps always got a good mix of treats. Freshly baked muffins, croissants, good bagel choices! And best of all the staff has always been warm & welcoming! My go -to when a deli is called for.“
“We recently had a retirement party with food catered by Benateri’s. I dealt with Benny the owner who is a true professional. We walked in with no idea how much food to order. He gave us an estimate on how much food we needed to feed the entire party, and he was spot on with how much we needed. The party turned out to be a big success, there was more than enough food for everyone. I was constantly being asked where the food was from as it was the best they have ever at a catered party. All their food was amazing but the standout was their penne with vodka sauce, is probably the best I’ve ever had, it’s amazing. We also ordered had some Spanish style Pernil which is super tender and a surprising real hit, yellow rice, the classics chicken parm, eggplant parm, ziti, Jack Daniel’s Pepper Steak(amazing!), a couple of chicken cutlet hero’s and much more. All in all 22 trays of food packed very well, on time, and neatly for pick up. We will definitely be back. Prices are very reasonable and food quality and customer service is excellent. Highly recommended, one of the best spots in the city.“
“I haven't been here in a few years. Food is good. The decor needs updating and cleaning. I would recommend giving them a try. Prices are okay in this economy, everyone has raised their prices. My only real negative is it could be cleaner looking. ? if you agree“
“Layout/atmosphere*German deli; hot/cold food; takeout onlyFood/drink*Reuben (with corned beef) on rye - Good; tender beef; melted Swiss; little messy but bread didn’t completely fall apart from its contents*Macaroni salad - Good*Cucumber salad - Good“
“Best Deli in the neighborhood hands down, no doubt about it. From the Food to the hospitality, and Welcoming atmosphere overall. As you walk in you are greeted with a smile and a nice Hello that is rare nowadays lol. The Food is amazing my favorite is the Quesadillas , Tacos and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. They are super sanitary and the food always taste Fresh. 10/10 would recommend 1 million times again!! Forgot to mention this is a Family owned business !Vegetarian options: Vegan and gluten-free and vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: Many options for any diet or allergy.Parking: In Front of Deli always has free street parking space availableWheelchair accessibility: Spacious and easy accessible.“
“I got two bacon cheeseburgers with fries. The fries were crispy to perfection the bacon cheeseburgers or bomb absolutely an amazing experience food was so delicious... ? mom and pop were so kind had Smiles on their faces and treated us really well.“
“The store is small and plenty of items available. I have bought turkey wraps and salads from this spot. Prices are reasonable. The wraps are made fresh and pretty thick with deli meat. Fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Good place to get a quick bite to eat or the many beverages available“
“I enjoy this place so much and their wide variety of food and drinks that even if I have to go out of my way to get there I will quality of food a solid 10 quality of service a solid 10 quality of people a solid 10 and what else would I say I am always happy to go in for a few minutes and enjoy the conversation of the staff and the quality of their work“
“As a Haitian, I'm very critical of other Haitian restaurants. This was my first time trying Blueline and it did amaze me. The griot (fried pork) in the sand which was so well seasoned and well cooked. It was soft on the inside but crispy on the outside, everything you could ask for with griot. It included a secret sauce that was INCREDIBLE. The place was a cute takeaway spot with a few seats. I began to chat with the woman at the front and asked her who's recipe was the secret sauce. It was hers! She was so nice and had a wonderful energy. Definitely coming back here soon, will become a Brooklyn staple for me. (To the owner: don't give that secret sauce recipe away!)“
“Stayed around the corner from this fantastic store. Arrived as tourist and left feeling local.The guys here sorted out anything we needed any time any day, literally got treat like royalty with the staff.The food is impeccable, I was told to try a chopped cheese on my travels, I had nothing to compare it to, but delivered! As did the bacon egg and cheese and french toast, hot chocolate and coffee.Nothing is too much trouble, clean, fresh deli counter with an amazing selection!Looking forward to coming back to the neighbourhood and revisiting these guys!“
“We are from the west coast and fell in love with this place. Saw lots of local types here which is always a good sign!Great food, good portions and more than fair prices. I had a Ruben (delicious!) and my wife had a BLT. Perfect fries!Sadly we only discovered it on our final day here…guess we will have to come back.Vegetarian options: Wouldn’t say large selection but a decent one considering all salad and wrap options.“
“Chicken parm hero. Boom. Do it. Cash prices are cheaper as is the status quo in this neighborhood. In addition to sandwiches and the beverage cooler you can get cold cuts and a few other items here. It's a small space but the service is good and the sandwich is unrivaled.“
“This unassuming sandwich shop is an homage to a bygone era of Italian sandwich shops I grew up going to. The walls are littered with vintage photos from a family photo album. And the shelves are covered with Italian olive oil and other staples of Nona’s kitchen.The shop is small, with only a few two-top tables against the walls. The menu is also small and features a small selection of classic combinations of Italian deli meats, a few based on chicken and at least one of chicken of the sea. There are also salads, but I didn’t see anyone ordering one, so let’s say a sandwich is the move.Each sandwich is about 8”-10” and is made on classic American Italian bread—firm on the outside and spongy on the inside to absorb the EVOO (extra virgin olive oil.I ordered an Uncle Jimmy (see photo) w/o cheese, and my buddy ordered the Uncle John. Both are classic and as advertised—just the right balance of protein to bread to vinegar and veg.I think this might be my new favorite spot. I can’t eat deli meat every day, so I might only be able to make a pilgrimage once every couple of weeks, but I know my fictitious Nonna would be proud that I am eating well.“
“Wow what can I say this place gives you 5 stars service, the quality of food is great and the staffs are friendly. I recently grabbed classic Philly cheesesteak and they made it so well, loaded with meat, and it just hit the spot. This place will be our go-to place in the neighborhood for sure. Great value, five-stars service!“
“Wonderful food at Barney Greengrass- as always! Go support an excellent NYC family owned and operated restaurant with amazing food and great service. They same family has been lovingly running the place since 1908! In 2021 they have Lots of spacious outdoor dining. Super attentive waitstaff - our waterglass was never empty- and just a happy peaceful atmosphere- hard to be sad when your belly is full of delicious food made with love. Get the latkes- they are to die for! Best lox we’ve had in the city and the #9 sandwich really should be renamed the Bubbe Zayde - it’s a double decker on rye half pastrami half corned beef coleslaw and Russian dressing- tasted as amazing as it looks, and truly brought back memories noshin with my Bubbe and Zayde. Also the Blintzes are incredible“
