My favorite place for a cold cuts sandwich in Long Beach. They can get busy so I recommend calling ahead. Sandwiches are always large perfect for breakfast, lunch or a beach day. read more

Very un organized. Considering it's near the beach and train I had to wait 10 min to first order the sandwich and have him write it down. Then instead of proceeding to make it ,he took more orders. Sorry I walked out. Not waiting. Step it up ! read more

food was great, the service was excellent, and you can actually get a conversation from the people in the store they have a good energy in the store read more

My go to deli pit stop before trekking to Long Beach. This deli serves everything from breakfast, heroes and build your own salad. The prices are extremely reasonable, $3.50 for an egg sandwich! I know a business is reliable when it is always crowded but the line moves pretty quickly. The establishment is clean, organized and great customer service! All food I've ordered here is fresh and delicious! Brand's is conveniently located across the street from Long Beach train station and a five minute walk to beach. read more

See all

Satisfactory. Came here with wifey on a Friday morning, whilst preparing for our day at the beach. Our ham sandwiches were stacked, quite delicious as well. Although I didn't have the chance to give any of their signature sandwiches a shot, I could clearly see that Brand's has a robust menu. Decent snack and drink selection, and the space/small dining area looked to be clean. Service here could be slightly better. Me, and it seemed like everyone else waiting near the front counter didn't really know where to place an order, or where to wait for food. If you're visiting Long Beach for the day, this is a convenient deli to stop by. read more

First time at this deli after living in LB for 2 years. Let's just say I will not be going back!!!! Headed to the beach after work, and ordered the Big M. Sounded great!! WRONG the first bite I spit out, the grilled chicken was hard, could tell it had been microwaved... Unacceptable when you are charging $14 for this sandwich. Straight up robbery! P.s. the seagulls enjoyed it tho read more

I'm just curious why can you never get an order right? Ever!! Great salads , great sandwiches but you never get the order right!!!

Whenever I go to Long Beach this is the go to spot for sandwiches. The service is excellent. The grill chicken is fresh, not dry. The deli meats are fresh. This deli moves the meats. The sandwich combos are all delicious and packed with meat and veggies. The heroes are $14 and on a roll $11. The hero can feed three people. I ordered the "Mr Hockey". The sandwich is filled with Italian meats, cappy, pepperoni, Genoa salami, provolone and red onion lettuce, tomato and oil and vinegar. Located across from the LIRR station and you know when that train pulls in on a weekend there is a long line. This deli offers value and delicious quality sandwiches read more

Quality food and timely service. Never had any issues ordering from here. Iced coffee is fantastic. Space is quick and easy with some indoor and outdoor seating. Cookies are fire. Minimum on credit cards. read more

These guys know sandwiches. This place is super clean and serves great sandwich /deli food. Sometimes the lines can be long, but we know that going during the off hours are the best especially in the Summer. They use boars head cold cuts and offer specialty sandwiches. Breakfast and Lunch only, stop by and give it a try if you haven't already. read more

Brand's Deli - 2 Ham Egg and cheese on a roll. - Delis Near Me - Long Beach, New York

The food is always fresh & homemade; one of the few places in Long Beach, or anywhere, that makes coleslaw & other salads daily. I don't understand why people settle for salads that are delivered to a deli in 5 gallon stucco pails like Home Depot! I won't eat a sandwich on stale bread or covered with mass produced tasteless salads. Their roast beef is always rare & nicely seasoned to perfection ; they were made by the owner's mother! Their sandwiches are always creative & named after everything from hockey to kings; if you want to add something just ask! You can call in an order & bring it to the beach or bay & enhance the experience; you can also have it delivered quickly to your home. It has been in the center of Long Beach for countless years & always cooks quality meals for the whole family. read more

Great heros. Reasonably priced. Good service. Egg breakfast hero and a coffee for $11

I stopped on July 5th 2024 to pick up three sandwiches to go to the beach. I got the LEETCHIE (Fried Eggplant, Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto, Roasted Peppers & Balsamic Vinaigrette). When I opened it up, about 15 minutes later, I found a soggy mess of too many, very thin, slices of eggplant that were deep fried in breadcrumbs and oil, several wedges of peppers, and a strip of non-fresh prosciutto. The bread was wet with the deep-fryer oil, which made it chewy; the eggplant was mostly breadcrumbs and oil, the peppers were meh, and the prosciutto was dry and old-looking, my guess is that they freeze the prosciutto and just defrost enough each afternoon. I ate just a few bites and had to throw away the rest; I tried to fish out the better parts, but didn't really find any. My kids ordered different sandwiches and also didn't enjoy them but I don't have a description of their grievances. I think this place is used to serving tourists who don't know better and are already far at the beach when they come to see that their sandwiches suck. However, they were open on july 5th and they had a fridge with slightly cold drinks, so I guess that earns them two stars. read more

- Solid, local deli. - Walking distance from the beach. - Much cleaner/nicer than the average deli. - Sandwiches are big and good for sharing! - The gentleman helping us was so welcoming and pleasant. I had the "Big M" - grilled chicken, prosciutto, mozzarella, balsamic vinaigrette, red peppers ($10.86). So good and so worth it. The hero was huge but not overwhelming or falling apart or all over the place. They give you a decent, normal amount of meat unlike some delis that go overboard and then charge you an arm and a leg. I would recommend. read more

Great specialty sandwich menu! ....These guys know sandwiches. - clean/friendly - great sandwich /deli food. - breakfast and lunch only... would like sandwiches for supper too. :( ....stop by and give it a try if you haven't already. read more

Whoa!!! Was just looking for something open, now this is the spot for breakfast. No bad choices here!!

Very good sandwiches. My wife previously brought home the ham, cheese, egg breakfast roll and it was good. We went back today. I got the sausage/egg/cheese on a roll and it was equally tasty. She got the "chicago blackhawks" hero and the meat and ingredients were very fresh. It was tasty and the bread is fluffy with a nice outer crust. Service was good, there were 2-3 folks in front of us and our food took perhaps 5-10min. Interior was newly renovated and very clean (much cleaner than all the other delis). They have indoor seatings and 4 outdoor tables w high chairs. Most importantly, the boss (I assume he was) was super friendly. The staff were all also friendly, cheerful, and efficient. I wasn't aware they sold bagels but saw that they had a small selection. It was good as well. We'll probably make this our go to place for sandwiches and deli. Everything is hockey themed which was kinda cool. Oh they also deliver to the beaches! Awesome! read more

This deli is great! It has all the workings of a typical LI deli, but is larger and cleaner than most. The specials are written in chalk on the wall but feel free to snag a menu to see what other pre-made specials are around. Obviously, they'll make you whatever your heart desires if you're a custom sammie kind of guy. My order of turkey with L T and honey mustard was perfect. Lots of meat, not stuffed with weird, pale tomato slices, and some really good honey mustard. Snagged a chicken soup which was solid too. Although it's in a pretty busy area food-wise, Brand's happens to be a great deli and is worth a visit. Protip: Eggs until 2pm read more

Brand's Deli - Turkey L T honey mustard - Delis Near Me - Long Beach, New York

This small, unassuming deli has been a Godsend to the LB area! The sandwiches are freshly made, quality is good, subs are creative! They have call ahead service and the place is clean. You get your money's worth here. Worth a visit if you're craving deli! read more

I've been a loyal customer for years but lately the customer service has declined . "It always , well what you want me to do"? when your delivery order is wrong after repeating it enough times to make sure they get it right . For the price of the sandwiches which I'm in love with and don't mind paying. I deserve the same service they require. I'm a great tipper just saying . Going to take a break for awhile before I get too upset with them . read more

Ordered a BLT on grubhub and it came with no mayo. Who gives a BLT with no mayo? That's criminal. Also the BLT was very small and skimpy considering the price. Definitely won't go back here again. read more

Here's what I love about this place: -They keep things moving quickly. This is critical on a gorgeous beach day! -The service is super friendly!! -I ordered The #4 which was grilled chicken, spinach, red onion, melted asiago cheese, and honey mustard. The guy who was making my sandwich suggested I put some hot peppers on there; this was an excellent suggestion. My sandwich was soooo delicious. The subs were a tad bit expensive, but I could tell mine was made with love so I'm willing to let that go. They were also large enough to share if you really wanted to. I'm not going to subtract a star for this, but I really like when delis give complimentary pickles on the side. read more

Brand's Deli - Sandwich board - Delis Near Me - Long Beach, New York

This is it! I grew up in Bellmore going to My Hero. This place beats My Hero and there douchery attitude. The sandwiches are like no other. Stacked and great quality! Oh and look no further for your classic bacon, egg, and cheese(add some home fries for an out of the park breakfast sandwich). It's great to see the owner making sandwiches alongside the employees. Everyone working there is super friendly and welcoming. read more

Brand's Deli - Turkey, ham, pepperoni, fresh muhtz - Delis Near Me - Long Beach, New York

This is the saddest review I've ever had to make. The reason is that when Joe Brand owned this store, it was the best deli I have ever had! We went to it for years and then he sold it when it was on Lindell and Magnolia. The people that bought it were horrible. Upon walking in, instead of it smelling like fresh cold cuts it smelled like floor detergent. We tried the food, in plain English, it sucked. We never went back. It soon closed. After a few years we saw 'Brands' opened up on the block of Gino's! So happy! Not so fast. Whoever owns this store now is NOT Joe Brand. My husband went in and got two hero's which was $35.00. One bite in and I put it down. It was 'King Henry' and I got a taste of garlic that overwhelmed my taste buds. The pastrami was like rubber and the bread was mushy. The other was a 'Super Mario Brother'. We have gotten them both for many years. The person that made it placed all of the peppers and lettuce in the back and the bread so mushy it was falling apart and the peppers fell out. There was a strong mustard that burned my tongue. We stopped eating it too. So $35 down the drain and the very last time we visit here. IT is NOT Brands from days of old with Joe Brand. It is a shell of it's former self. The sandwich makers do not know what they are doing and the store is not what it used to be. read more

(I've only been here once) Wow. The Big M is an amazing sandwich! This place makes serious, true deli sandwiches with fresh cut meats and cheeses. And they don't skimp. Bread has a perfect crunch. Service is very friendly while also being efficient. Prices reasonable, especially on LB. I'll be back again. read more

Best damn egg sandwich I ever had.... got mine with the 3 pepper Colby cheese, MAN that was good lol

Every sandwich from the bacon, egg and cheese on a roll to the yummy amazing subs is delicious. Like really good. Friendly and nice service. I heard this business gives back to the community too. Thanks, Brand's. read more

Very disappointed. We had a family reunion at the VFW hall in Long Beach and had Brand's cater the get together. I had been in contact with the manager at least a half dozen times to review the order and with another individual (don't want to mention names) prior to the event. After several phone calls when I arrived in LB, was told to call back because they were busy and attempted to, but again..too busy to talk. Assuming that all was ok because of my previous talks with them and having gone over the order multiple times....but they left part of the order off the delivery! Was told it would be 30 minutes to get the rest of the order, took about 1 1/4 hours. There was no catering, just delivered the food. Kudos to VFW for setting up the food and making sure everything was laid out for us! I am posting a review mainly because of the response from Brand's, she said it was a "miscommunication" and did not take any responsibility for it. Yes, I did pay and tip 20%, don't want to stiff the staff for management's mistake. Good food but would not recommend for catering. read more

First, the good: great fresh, quality ingredients! huge sandwiches with no shortage of meat. Nice workers and quick and fast service. Clean Cons: the construction of these sandwiches are awful. They make them like a "taco" where the bread is not cut all the way through so all the sauce is at the bottom and all the meat in in the middle making it dry as well. Doesn't stay together either because of the way it's made. Would definitely order from here more if they changed the way they made the sandwiches and actually stacked and layered it correctly read more

Bring back Joe Brand!!! First I think it's wrong that the employees don't get the tips. Tips go to the house. Sounds like a episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Just ordered two egg sandwiches. The best part, the peppers and onions and the sauce I added. The eggs were disgusting, no flavor. My dog didn't event like them. Come on, what happened to Brands. read more

I ordered a salad from Brands for delivery and the order was incorrect. I called and asked them to send the missing ingredients. The woman on the phone was incredibly rude and did not believe me that my salad was missing ingredients. First she told me that they did not charge me for the chicken or avocado that was missing. I explained I have the Order form used and see the items all listed, and the receipt reflects the price of all ingredients I requested. She argued with me for over 5 minutes. Then, she wanted to send the delivery person to my house to pick up and inspect the incorrect salad before sending me a replacement. I was shocked that I had to spend so much time arguing with her to correct their mistake. The customer service was horrible. I am hopeful that they correct their mistake. read more

So new it smells like fresh paint! It's bright and airy, and they have a decent selection of specialty sandwiches. They're also pretty cheap, and the people working here are quiet friendly. It's in a great location, right across from the train station so you don't need to waste your money at Starbucks or that little deli inside the train. I hate when delis make a breakfast wrap, and they don't wrap them tight, so the eggs smush out the bottom....they don't do that here. Since my cooking gas still doesn't work, perhaps I'll hit these cats up for lunch today too! read more

This place is the best deli that no one has heard about. If you live in Long Beach and haven't tried Brand's either for breakfast or lunch then you are a cookoo crazy person. By far one of the best deli's as far as portion size and taste on Long Island. Al the sandwiches are named after hockey terms or players. The people working the counter are NY business-like and move and NY pace so you better know what you want and be ready to go! While there is no true signature sandwich at brand's...I would say this is r type of place you can go to and order any hot sandwich and it would be epic. Go there. Now homie. read more

Long Beach is an expensive area. Band's Deli while not cheap, is a great value given the location. Located only a few blocks from the beach and in the heart of shops and other restaurants. The first thing you will notice is the extensive and creative menu. This goes well beyond a standard deli. As and example I was torn between the The Hammer - hot roast beef on garlic bread, melted mozzarella & gravy or The Messiah - hot roast pork on garlic bread, melted mozzarella, gravy & duck sauce. I chose the Messiah at $9.25. It was a great choice. Not something to be eaten while on the move I found a spot next to the window and took a bite. First it was hot, second it was delicious. The gravy and duck sauce were perfect with the pork. The bread likewise. Messy and over stuffed this was a damn good sub. BTW - The gravy would be great over some fries. You will not leave hungry. Service was super friendly, the place was very clean. Two things to keep in mind, there is no restroom for customers and $15 minimum charge on credit cards. Due to this I would give 3.5 stars, so I have to round up to 4. My advice hit the restroom before you come and bring cash if you're alone. Enjoy Brand's Deli, it's worth it. read more

Best deli in town. This place is great, also perfect location across from the train station. Non locals - hit this place before heading to the beach! Or they will also deliver :) The staff is awesome and truly feels like 'home' when you walk in. I've had a lot of items from the menu, all of their sandwiches have a hockey themed name. My go to for breakfast is a classic bacon egg cheese on a roll, can't go wrong. Try one of their heros for lunch, they pack on the meat! My only hope and dream is for them to have brewed flavored coffee, I'm not down with the creamers. read more

Decent, clean, and efficient deli on the main drag in Long Beach, central to both the LIRR Long Beach Station and the beach itself. It's a decent place to pick up a good roast beef sandwich and a bag of potato chips* for a satiating lunch on the beach. * - a.k.a.: Seagull bait. read more

I'm really glad this deli exists in the area. It's new. It's clean. It's got an awesome beach feel, and the people behind the counter were friendly. It's so the antithesis of nearly every deli in Long beach that I really hope this place takes off and doesn't conform to the norm that besmirches LB quick-service eateries. There are a ton of specialty sandwiches to choose from, it would be hard to know what to get. So far I've only been their for breakfast, but their bacon, egg and cheese was delicious, and so is their BLT. I kind of wish their breakfast sandwiches were a little more substantial, but they taste great and are not expensive. read more

Super friendly, delicious, no frills sandwich place. We ordered breakfast sandwich and Chicago steak sandwich and it was delish. Quick taste of the place--fruit salad crispy, not watery. read more

Came here after the beach. We got here like 15 minutes before they closed and they were packing everything up but were down to serve us which was cool. My friend and I shared a hero sammy and it was bomb. We had corned beef, Swiss, sauerkraut, and mustard. They heated it up it was delicious. If I'm ever in the area again I would for sure come back. read more

Completely rude manager. Terrible experience with ordering. Brands used to be a very friendly and organized business.. Not anymore! Won't be ordering from them anymore! read more
