I'm not in this neighborhood often so I knew I had to go with their most popular sandwich, the FDNY. Like everyone else, I first saw these guys online reppin' the deli. I have many of my friends who moved down south so when they see I'm at a viral spot, I'm glad to tell them about my experience. Anthony & Son Panini Shoppe is a typical New York deli but a little more bougie with TVs playing the podcast on a loop. I liked the large menu board explaining all of the sandwiches. I'm going to order my sandwich and head back to Ft Hamilton. There are lots of great sandwich choices, it's my first time here so my order will be be the FDNY: A huge hero stuffed with fresh fried chicken cutlets, melted mozzarella and the famous vodka sauce on garlic bread. Total banger! I'm glad I ordered the sandwich, chicken cutlet parm is my go to sandwich. The next day, I see a video with Sabino making the FDNY with a guy from Italy. They stuffed the FDNY sandwich with pepperoni? The cashier at the register, I explained to her my order. Mr Anthony stepped up and I said, I saw the sandwich online? He said oh yeah, he instructs the deli man to make the sandwich with the extra ingredients. I take a picture and send it to my cousins husband in Myrtle Beach. He's going nuts because we were both drooling when they made it. Anthony & Son Panini Shoppe, thanks for the great sandwich the other day! read more

Anthony & Son Panini Shoppe - FDNY Hero - Sandwiches Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Large array of sandwiches and paninis using fresh and gourmet ingredients. Portions are decent but overpriced imo - averaging $20 a sandwich. Recommend the anthony & son panini - chicken cutlet isn't dry, a good layer of fresh mozzarella with balsamic glaze and vegetables. Great proportions of ingredients and left you full. The cheesesteak was solid but not super standout. read more

Anthony & Son has HUGE sandwiches packed full of quality ingredients, all at a decent price around $20 per hero/panini. I had the Anthony & Daughter, it was great. Fresh burrata, a delicious fig jam, and a nice balsamic glaze to offset the salty prosciutto. Really delicious. It's a deli, not really meant for sit down meals, but there are a few benches outside for when the weather's nice. Definitely a great option for sandwiches in the area! read more

Pretty good spot , huge sandwich variety , the Fdny was pretty good and I added the onions onto it as well. But &1.50 to add onions really ? That more like a condiment it's not a meat or cheese so that I didn't like .50 cents maybe is ok. Also the side of the bread for hero's is smaller then normal , fresh but smaller for Sure . I'll stick to my other spots plenty to choose from And usually cheaper as well!!! They have a good variety snacks as well . I guess I wouldn't come back here. read more

The sandwiches definitely lived up to the hype!! There are many selections which I appreciated and all of them sounded great!! We ended up splitting an Italian sub and one with a chicken cutlet (sorry I forgot which ones). They were absolutely delicious. The bread tasted so light and fresh but with a great light crunch. There's meat was so fresh and flavorful. The toppings were perfect. There's no inside seating but they have tables and chairs outside. I also like that there was a wide variety of drink and chip choices. The service is standard...not great, but not bad. Overall, recommend!! 8.5/10 read more

The garden grill panini was tasty - full of creamy grilled eggplant and some other veggies, all on fluffy bread. It's a large sandwich, so $16 felt like a reasonable price. Some of the other sandwiches on the menu are well over $20, which may be a harder sell. read more

Exactly what you want out of a classic nyc sandwich shop- huge menu, delicious warm and cold cuts, and the owner of the shop at the register most days. I have been several times but on this visit I got the butch. Great flavor but I will say I wish I stuck to the godfather. It's what they are known for and it's hard to beat. Quick service and casual, relaxed atmosphere. No seating indoors but limited seating outside if you cannot resist the temptation of tearing into your sandwich right away. read more

I always order delivery from this place, and finally visited the store in person. They have over 50 sandwiches to choose from. My favorite is "The Daughter". They've been in Brooklyn for years. Good, speedy service. read more

Everything here is really fresh and HUGE. You can definitely split this betweenn 2/3 sittings depending on the sandwich you get. The SKO and Godfather, and anthonys daughter are my favorites, but honestly nothing here will miss. Cool merchandise and large drink selection with a great patio outside to sit and eat. Go on the weekdays during lunch and skip any kind of line read more

When in Brooklyn, check this panini shoppe out! I visited from California and made sure I had a panini! They are known for their regular paninis but also lettuce wraps. I had the Pistachio Papi and it was amazing! It had so much mortadella which is my favorite type of deli meat. I could only eat half cause it had so much meat. The potato salad was delicious as well! I can't wait to go back and try a different panini or a lettuce wrap! I got to meet the owner and he was very friendly as well as the staff. The inside of the deli took me back to my childhood. It had a family-friendly vibe! read more

This has been on my fiancés "try" list for a while so we decided to stop in today for lunch. The place is quite spacious for a deli and had ample snacks, cool soda options, a variety of fresh bread, and even some clothing/merch! When we arrived I had to use the bathroom, and asked the woman at the check out counter if they had one, she said they did not (which is as expected for a deli) but kindly recommended I go to a coffee shop nearby. After ordering, and heading to the nearby bathroom, our sandwiches were ready. I ordered the NY Nico lettuce wrap which was SO GOOD and filled with fresh grilled chicken, avocado, pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, and chipotle mayo. It was fresh and delicious. My fiance got the FDNY which is essentially a vodka parm on garlic bread and really enjoyed it, although it could have been warmer. The portions are generous. It was a little pricey (came to $43 for two sandwiches and a small bag of chips) but definitely worth it for a hearty, quick, casual lunch. I'd also like to try their breakfast sandwiches next time. Don't forget to grab a free sticker at the register! read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say this place serves the best sandwiches in Williamsburg--maybe even in all of Brooklyn! This place has completely redefined what a great sandwich should be. Every bite is an experience. The bread? Perfectly fresh with the ideal balance of crunch and softness. The ingredients? Top-notch, locally sourced, and bursting with flavor. The vibe of the shop is exactly what you want in Williamsburg--cool, laid-back, and welcoming. The staff are super friendly and always happy to make recommendations. They clearly care about what they do, and it shows. If you're in Williamsburg and hungry, run--don't walk--It's a total gem, and I'll be back regularly! read more

Well, when you're looking for the best sandwiches in Brooklyn, if Anthony & Son isn't on that list, toss that list in the garbage. The Panini Shop is a Williamsburg institution. I've been eating sandwiches there since the 90's. Yes, they are pricey, but that's just what sandwiches cost these days. And they make it well worth the price! Huge, flavorful, unique combinations. The service is always great. The shop feels old school and current at the same time. No trip to Williamsburg will be complete until you have a sandwich there! read more

Local favorite but it's expensive for what it is. Sandwich ($20): Triple Decker (pastrami sandwich). It's got a good amount of meat but I wish there were some veggies and more sauce. It's a decent sandwich but not for the price point. Logistics: -local favorite (not sure why) -accepts card read more

Took the trip out to Brooklyn for this it's been a min since I last came here maybe 10 years. Today I had the FDNY on a Panini without the vodka sauce (I opt for pink because I don't eat pork) The panini was really high quality but I will say that it could have been toasted harder but whatever it's New York they gonna do it fast. The mozzarella was A1 , the chicken was really fresh. I just wish I tasted the garlic on the bread but I think that's only for the hero. Booo.. They play their podcast on the tv Italians with bust down chains lol yes embrace that hip hop culture .. I didn't have the Nutella shake I should have right? For old times sake. Would definitely come again whenever I'm in the mood .. Service was really swift nice ladies in the front no non sense bosses in the back don't try nothin funny! Shout out Brooklyn read more

Anthony and Sons Panini Shop has great catering! Every Super Bowl my friends and I always get the package for Super Bowl and we are always amazed. The food is perfectly prepared and the service is quick, fast, and they have everything organized well! The owners of the place are very welcoming like family! Thanks again Anthony! read more

Great hero sandwiches. The FDNY is the best in Brooklyn. The potato salad is plain, mostly mayonnaise, but good with the sandwich. The service is great. Even though they are busy they manage to move orders out quickly. Forget about ambiance, the food and service is all you need. read more

YUM! Anthony & Son make some of the freshest, tastiest sandwiches in NYC! Our normal order is a Healthilicious Panini and a Godmother sandwich. We also tried the seafood salad for the first time today, which was great (we spied it in the deli case last time we were there, and noted how fresh it looked). Always fresh, always delicious. Sometimes busy, so it can take a minute for your food but well worth the wait. I don't believe they do delivery, though you can order ahead for pick up, now at a window around the corner on Frost Street. You can't go wrong with this family run spot. read more

Anthony & Son is the deli I recommend to friends if they're visiting the area. They absolutely STACK their sandwiches with tons of meat, fresh leaves, and cheese so you will not go hungry. I love the Anthony & Daughter which is prosciutto, burrata, and arugula. I'll no doubt be trying more of their menu the next time I visit, although the Anthony & Daughter is so good that I might get that again too. read more

This place is absolutely nuts. I must visit while in Williamsburg to get the Mike and Steve 2.0 the sandwich is insane. It has chicken, cutlet, bacon, and french fries. It was so delicious. The vodka sauce is so tasty. It served hot and ready to go. I would go with somebody else And split one you really don't need the whole sandwich for yourself. I love the branding and the merch inside is pretty Swaggy. I'm gonna think about this sandwich for a long time. read more

Have only tried the Anthony & Daughter sandwich, I'm absolutely obsessed with it. The combo of the saltiness from the prosciutto balances perfectly with the fig and balsamic. The ricotta is the perfect cherry on top. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had if not the best. I recommend extra fig/balsamic if you like extra sweetness / sauciness !!! 1000/10! read more

I saw this deli being represented on tiktok and I checked the yelp reviews that were great and led me to check this place out for myself. When I arrived, there was a small line that grew as it was lunch time. The staff were real sweet and the place was busy. They have small grocery items you can pick up like chips, baked goods etc... I was in awe of all the variety of sandwiches you can choose. It took me about 5 minutes to read what's available and then go back and forth about what I was ordering. Then I called my mom to see if she wanted a sandwich and had to read the different options. I decided to get the popular "FDNY" which was the chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella and vodka sauce on a garlic hero. OMG, that hero was delicious and so fulfilling. I ate one half one day and the other the next day. The next day, my bread was still soft and the taste was even more tasty. My mom ordered "the BUTCH" which was grilled pastrami, pepper turkey, pepper jack cheese bacon, avocado, caramelized onions and ranch dressing and she loved it minus the avocado. LOL There was a little wait so have some patience. The supervisor was on site and gave us a complimentary zeppola straight from the oven and it was delicious. I only took a small taste because I wanted to enjoy my sandwich first. This is definitely a spot I will return to and check out some other menu items. read more

Sandwiches are expensive but that's because they are huge and loaded. Can't go wrong with the chicken vodka parm.

If you are a sandwich lover this spot is not to be missed. Has to be my favorite sandwich shop in Brooklyn. Vegetarians and carnivores will find more than enough options here. All of the ingredients are fresh with plenty to choose from. Friendly and prompt service with a table out front but not really a spot to dine in so don't count on it. The Eggplant Special Panini was absolutely delicious and more then enough for me, half now half later ;)! Fried Eggplant, Fresh Mozzarella, Roasted Peppers, Spinach, Red Onions with Oil & Balsamic Glaze on Rosemary Panini, Yum, Yum YUM! They have a ton of other chips, sodas, cookies, coffee and whatnots to choose from. I love seeing business stand the test of time so I hope to see them around for many more years. I'll be back. read more

Not again. Because I ordered a make your own sandwich and they turned a beautiful caprese into a warm sandwich/grilled panini. Gross. I guess everything is a panini? Bread is hard, arugula is slimy and don't get me started on the mozzarella. How dare they? read more

it's good and very fresh! the food: i got the lettuce wrapped caesar salad. it's fresh and exactly as you expect, i will say it's lacking a litttttle bit on the flavor profile and quite pricey. if i came again i would def get the actual sandwiches! the space: they have some seating outside the service: quick read more

Awesome and massive sandwiches! We ordered the Matt and Steve 2.0 and the Godfather. When I say these sandwiches are massive, I mean they were exhausting to eat (in all the right ways ). The only downside for us is that the service wasn't overly friendly or helpful. They seemed very nice and chatty with the locals, but the tourists seemed to be irritating to them. We enjoyed sitting outside, eating at the picnic tables. Great lunch on a leisurely day! read more

It's OK, but it's not worth seeking out. The bread is really lackluster. The marinara on the chicken parm sandwich doesn't have any significant flavor. It's a cool spot and I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. read more

Alllll of my NYC sandwich dreams came true here! They legit have every single type of sandwich combo in the world so truly anyone can find something they like here. We had the hardest time narrowing it down to just 2 because they all looked so fantastic. We landed on the Anthony & Daughter which is overflowing with fresh prosciutto and burrata, perfectly flavored with fig and balsamic glaze, and the arugula gives it a sharp bitterness to help balance out all of the sweetness. Sooooo good The Big Bang is a decked out chicken parm with a bit of a spicy kick. I loved the addition of broccolini to give it a contrast of texture! Portions are massive - 3 of us shared 2 of these (massive) sandos and couldn't finish them. We ordered online ahead of time and they were waiting for us to pick up and easily grab ourselves by the time we got there. Employees were friendly in pointing us where to go. There's plenty of benches outside to eat your sandwiches fresh on the spot. It's a short walk from the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn with other cute spots nearby, so it's worth the visit even if you aren't super close to here! Can't wait to come back to NYC so I can try more! read more

Placed an order through Ubereats. Ate some of the sandwich (eh) & started on the desert (toasted almond cake slice). Put a whole forkful in my mouth, tasted strange, spit it out and saw that there was blue fuzz mixed in with the cake. Upon checking the rest of the slice, turns out the entire top of the cake was covered in mold. Gross, made me question the quality/cleanliness. Threw everything away. read more

I ordered the FDNY chicken cutlet sandwich because the menu clearly states it does not come with bacon. In the past when I ordered it here, it never had bacon, so I trusted what the menu advertised. This time, the sandwich came with bacon. When I went back to have it corrected, they refused to give me another sandwich. Mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability and unwillingness to fix the problem is unacceptable. What made it worse is that this wasn't an issue before, which shows a decline in consistency and customer care. Very disappointing experience -- not only was my order wrong, but the customer service was dismissive. Unfortunately, this will be my last visit. read more

This place is a sandwich lovers DREAM. They will definitely have a sandwich for everybody with their huge menu and everything looked so good. I really wanted to hate this place because it's so far from me and not super wallet friendly but sigh... it's just too good. I came on a Monday afternoon and it was already packed inside. The menu definitely takes a bit to get through but I opted for the godmother ($19) because it seemed to have a bit of everything. I waited around 20 minutes to get my food and took it outside to eat. Tearing open the sandwich and seeing the cross-section is a glorious sight and let me mention that these sandwiches are HUGE. I shared with one other person and it was plenty. The bread is nice and crusty to hold all the fix-ins in place and it was absolutely stacked inside with cold cuts and veggies. It surprisingly wasn't too salty and very well balanced especially with the addition of oil and vinegar. I highly recommend checking out Anthony & Son's the next time you're in Brooklyn. Yes there's usually a wait but it goes relatively fast and it's worth it. It's not the cheapest sandwich you'll find but they're big sandwiches and filled with very high quality ingredients. I mean c'mon, look at the photos read more

I stopped in after hearing several people talk about this place and got the Matt & Steve. It's a good size hero or sub depending on where you're from, but should be for about $22. It's got plenty of chicken, mozzarella sticks, fries, bacon sauce. It was salty for my taste, maybe because of the bacon, which could've also been crispier. I'd give it another shot. Plan on spending plus or minus $20 on a hero/sub. read more

Great paninis! Anthony & Son is mostly a takeout spot, but there were plenty of roomy outdoor seating right outside the store. You will find yourself getting happily lost in their menu, stocked with extensive and creative ingredient combinations. After much deliberation, I went with the FDNY to try their vodka sauce. The staff were quick to take my order and made my panini on the spot. Although these go for a hefty price (around $18-20) the portions were huge and made 2-3 meals for me! The ingredients also felt fresh and went well together. Overall, I would definitely recommend if you are craving Italian paninis; I would love to visit again to try their other options if I'm in the area! read more

Fully packed sandwiches and so damn good. Heard so many good things about this spot decided to give them a try. Will definitely come back. It was definitely crowded at lunch time and pretty busy. Friendly staff. Wait time for my order was about 10-15 minutes. They do not do pick up orders FYI.. but totally worth the wait! Filling and satisfying. You also have the option of building your own sandwich. Great location. But no parking near by. Will definitely come back!! read more

I've given this place three separate tries over the course of several months, hoping the hype would eventually make sense. Unfortunately, it hasn't. I've tried both their hot chicken cutlet sandwiches and, most recently, a cold cut -- and each time, the food has been consistently bland and extremely overpriced. On my latest visit yesterday, I ordered pepper mill turkey and repeated it clearly four times, yet still ended up with honey turkey. At nearly $19 for a basic cold cut, that's unacceptable. I ended up eating half and throwing the rest away. To be fair, the staff isn't rude -- customer service is decent -- but the wait is consistently longer than it should be for what you're getting. There's just no value here. I really wanted to like this place, but the food doesn't justify the price or the reputation. There is no world in which a turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato should cost $19, especially when it tastes like absolutely nothing. No flavor, just a forgettable bite that somehow keeps getting more expensive. If you're craving a quality cold cut sandwich, Sal, Kris & Charlie's in Astoria is 10x better -- a few bucks cheaper and easily twice the size. Don't fall for the hype. read more
