Someone told me to try chopped cheese in New York. This was a random shop I came across, so I stopped in. They made me the $9 sandwich in less than 10 minutes. It was pretty bomb. They also cut it in half for me and wrapped it in foil.

My first time having a chop cheese sandwich. It tasted like what I imagine a chop cheese sandwich would taste like. Cheesy, hamburger, with tomato and Mayo on a bun. I'm from Sf, so bodegas and chop cheese sandwiches are not common in the Bay Area. Yummy for a quick $9 cheap eats sandwich. Would like to check out another bodega next time I'm visiting.

Roll from Bodega, coffee from across the street.

My husband loves bodegas in NYC, this became our morning spot for BECs each morning, changing it up slightly every day, pepper Jack on a roll is the way to go! Even on our short stay we made friends with the cashier. The chopped cheese we got one afternoon for lunch though was fire! Best chopped cheese we've had!!

I would definitely order more food from the deli because the food is so tasty plus they got every single beverage

Spicy Chicken Cutlet with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and American cheese on a roll.

Good spot for a solid bodega sandwich and assorted groceries you need in the middle of the night. They use real bacon! This place is one of the many corner stores in the recently gentrified Williamsburg, and I hope that never changes. Sandwich chef is Hispanic so you know he will listen when you say make it spicy.

Pizza bagel. Looks can be deceiving, this was amazing.

Bomb BEC bagels with perfect ratio of each ingredient and chopped cheese. Everything bagels tend to sell out earlier in the day FYI.

I ordered a chicken fajita wrap, and it was so good! The detox drink is also delicious. Those good foods made my NYC trip even better.

3.5 stars I came to…read moreFarmer in the Deli cause of the hype it has on social media for thier viral chopped sandwhiches. I arrived and of course thier was a line. I waited for about 45 minutes, while waiting I picked up my chips and a white peach ginger ale. I also talked to the girl in front and she explained that you can get your sandwhich on a hero or roll. I ordered a chopped honey turkey with onions, pickles, lettuce and mayo. The guy who made my sandwich was soo friendly and patient. I just put my trust in him to hook it up lol. He also asked if I wanted to add the chips and I did. Overall my sandwhich was better the next day after it firmed up. The flavor was good but the texture was soft, mushy and just not what I want in a turkey sandwhich. It ran me about 12.00 and it was worth the experience.

I've have been going to farmer in the deli since I was a teenager and b4 any of the social media…read moreexploits. The original name was called laurose and tuna salad chopping has been happening for over four decades. My fort green family really know what it is. My cousin and I stopped by yesterday and picked up a couple of heroes. I had to get my beef salami and 3 pepper colby jack cheese, extra mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles, on a whole wheat hero (10.99) . Much love to a family staple for years. Definitely a place for you to pick up a sandwich that won't break the bank.

Brooklyn stays undefeated. Went to David's Brisket House -- a Jewish deli run by Yemeni Muslims in…read morethe middle of an Afro-Caribbean neighborhood. 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.

Losing stars. Because I don't know if anyone who works there has ever eaten or seen a sandwich…read more Asked for extra mayo. Maybe this made them mad. As there's barely any mayo. But a mess of green peppers. Like a whole green pepper on an uncut sandwich. Uncut! Let's be real. I'm at the mercy of the person who buys me lunch. And they eat brisket. So get the brisket. But don't dare get a simple turkey sandwich. And also, they're misrepresenting that they have chicken salad. They do not. Or maybe they've been lying about it.

I finally made it here to try any one of their legendary subs and sandwiches!…read more The deli is super old Skool Italian, cash only in a street not easy to get to without a car or taking the bus. But boy it is super worth it if you make the effort! The counter service is excellent and you place your order and wait for deliciousness! There are not many seats except for a few tables out back and a stand up counter to eat your sandwich so fyi! I ordered the Golden Boy Special ( Chicken Cutlet , Vodka Sauce , peppers , mozzarella and prosciutto) it was absolutely superb and the bread it was just incredible! My son and I shared a large plenty of Sandwich for two - and we got homemade meatballs to go ( 4 to be exact) - total bill $30 cash ! I wlll definitely be back to try a different sandwich but until then will remember how delicious this one was !

I had such high expectations of this place but sadly I was pretty disappointed with the food. I…read morefirst heard of this place featured on Diners Drive ins and Dives, the place looked super old school and a classic sandwich shop, more recently I heard of this place from George Motz talking about the roast pork sandwich. I went with two friends so were able to try three different sandwiches and to be honest, they were all just alright. The food: Roast Pork Special- Fried Eggplant, Provolone, Broccoli Rob- The texture of the pork came off a bit dry, the eggplant was good but kinda gets lost in the sandwich so if I literally had it on it's own I would have appreciated it more but who eats fried eggplant by itself? The rob was nice it added a nice crunch but didn't offer that much flavor. Giuseppe Special- Eggplant parm, meatballs, melted mozzarella. I couldn't get over how soggy the bread was. It was like wet paper towel to me. Soggy bread and everything kinda tasting the same made it underwhelming. Nicky Special- It just tasted like salad in between bread. There was so much veg, that was the main thing I remember in that sandwich.
