One long line for ordering but it moves quickly because they have a lot of staff. You order from your person and stay with them the whole time. They ring you up. Everything is fresh and so so good. No seating inside, but they have some tables on the side when you exit the building.

A little disappointed with my experience here…read more I ordered a hot roast beef with gravy and got a cold roast beef sandwich even after confirming with the lady at the register twice. My girlfriend has a sesame allergy so we asked for a roll with no seeds. They had no plain rolls but had a wheat roll. For some reason, the lady just decided to remove the seeds from the seeded roll and serve that. Those seeded rolls have seeds deep in the bread so we found tons of seeds in the bread still and couldn't eat them. Just feels very careless and these sandwiches ain't cheap. That said, the food was good, but how do you completely mess up the entire order like that?

I had been waiting a year to come here after missing out on trying it while on a trip last year and…read moreI was so excited, I could barely decide which sandwiches to try. The owner has the typical New Yorker vibe--blunt and a fun character overall. We went with the chicken cutlet with prosciutto, artichoke, fontina, and herb sauce, along with the sausage with cheese and added broccoli rabe. Between the two, I'd get the chicken for sure. It was pretty tasty, but I must say I wasn't as blown away as I'd expected. The sausage sandwich got a bit soggy from all of the marinara (which I wasn't expecting based on the description), so I was less excited about it. It was way too much food for two people. Like one sandwich is plenty for two, but I got greedy with wanting to try too much. We had a ton leftover! I would have probably rated it 3.5 stars, but the German roach running around pained me to see and stole my appetite. I'd want to say I'd come back and try one of those delicious sounding breakfast sandwiches, but roaches are a hard sell for me.

I am an empanada fan, it's truly one of my favorite foods and they have an assortment of flavors to enjoy. Our favorites as a group varied - someone really liked the oxtail and mole, I really liked the potato and cheese and the pabellon. We also tried the morir soñando because I'm chasing the high of one I had at a cuchifritos spot in the Bronx and it might be a matter of preference, but this one was just okay to me. But def recommend the empanadas.

You can't go wrong with an empanada and these didn't disappoint. They had gf options so I went with…read morea few (in order of preference): - Sweet Plantain Pabellón was by far my favorite. The sweetness from the plantain mixed with the savory shredded beef was a magnificent combo - Corn Carne Mechada, similar to the above, the shredded beef was very flavorful - Corn Pollo, this was your basic chicken empanada so solid choice but nothing stood out, I wish it had cheese - Corn Pollo en Mole Rojo, I didn't really like the flavor profile and wouldn't order again They all came with sauces that were all so good and went very well with the empanadas. They had a spicy one, green one (avocado?) and pink (ketchup/mayo). The cashier was really nice and recommended some to try. They were out of the oxtail at the time. They fried up the empanadas fresh and were done pretty quickly. I do wish they would have labeled the empanadas so I knew what I was eating. The store is pretty small but there is seating and a bathroom. All of my friends enjoyed their empanadas as well and we would all go back!

What the heck did I just eat?…read more A taco? A quesadilla? A hamburger? Some moments of reflection in my Lyft ride back home had me thinking many things about what I just ate here. Allow me to put it in perspective, this is gas station food on steroids. Located in Red Hook (and all it takes is to go outside and see you are in Red Hook), this nondescript bodega serves up one heck of a sandwich that will have you thinking, did I just eat that? This is not your ordinary New York bodega, this is the shop of General Ock, who sells various sandwiches in his renowned Ocky Way. So what is the Ocky Way? The Ocky Way is not just a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and onions, it is also about presentation and style. The sandwich is made loudly with a flair for the dramatic, from the time your food hits the flat top to when it is center cut and put in a clamshell container. What about the food? It really is pretty good! I got the Chopped Cheese the Ocky Way and it was something I really enjoyed. I recommend you get it with the Jamaican Patty as that is what makes the flavors work best. You can also do it with a waffle or pancake or whatever bread you like. All you have to do is scarf it down. You can also put your own toppings on your sandwich if you want for an extra premium à la Farmer in the Deli style. Farmer in the Deli is another well known bodega in Fort Greene, known for finely chopping their meat into a sandwich, one I highly recommend as well. Even after writing this review, I still cannot believe what I ate here. Before I finish this review, I have to say one more thing. Neva neva neva forget to get a drink with your order!

What I really liked is that they also offer a sandwich + soup combo, which is perfect when you don't want something too heavy. I went with the chicken & rice soup, and it was exactly what I needed. light, comforting, and not overly salty, which I really appreciated.

If that's not the most Brooklyn thing ever, I don't know what is. Same sandwiches, different blessing. Everybody says order the pastrami, so I listened like a grown man should. Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard absolutely slapped. Smoky, juicy, perfectly stacked, and messy enough to ruin your shirt with honor. Then came the beef brisket on rye with a cup of au jus for dipping... and brother, that dip should be studied by scientists. Pure perfection. Washed everything down with a Dr. Brown's root beer like it was 1957. No fake trendy nonsense. No deconstructed sandwiches. Just old-school deli greatness that punches you directly in the soul. Great food doesn't care where you come from -- it just brings everybody to the same table. That's New York. That's Brooklyn.
