Decided to pop in for lunch a few Saturdays ago, and witnessed the unconscionable...we saw the tall man get in a girls face, he literally was inches away from her face and made some nasty comment that we could not hear, absolutely disgusting. Then we witnessed the girl almost burst into tears. When we inquired who the tall rude jerk was...we were told it was one of the owners!!!!! That girl ended up helping us and she was one of the nicest ones there. After that, there's no way we will ever go back, and they have permanently lost my companies business as well. The food is moderate at best, and way overpriced. It's like if they could get away with charging an extra dollar or fifty cents they do so. These people love to hold onto the fact that they have been there for years, maybe they should bring themselves into 2020... Learn how to treat people read more

There are no words to describe this place. Called to place an order, couldn't get one word out before being placed on hold, hearing the phone dropped on the table. As if I have nothing better to do on my only day off than sit on hold for 10 minutes listening to you help other people? That is if they even answer the phone at all. Tall guy is nasty and rude.... Found another place less than 3 minutes away, better people, better prices, better food... NEVER COMING BACK and I suggest anyone who reads this to follow suit- read more

Every lunch sandwich will taste like onions because they don't properly clean the meat slicer after slicing onions. After going here with friends once, we all got sick that evening. Bang on the coffee counter and bugs will scurry out. You'll be charged a different price each time you order. Staff is stoic but kind.

I then went into the store, where I confronted the owner, and we proceeded to argue for a 10-minute period, with him implying that he can't have feelings--when, as the customer, I believe we should be right, no matter how he feels. He then proceeded to not have any remorse for my inquiry, implying that he's been there for 30 years. Side note: I go to this deli often, and if you do not speak Spanish or don't look Spanish, you get poor service often. Please do not support this deli anymore.

It's so far ahead of all delis and sandwich spots you've been. This is Long Island's gem. Five stars only is an injustice. It's one of the country's finest spots. It's what George Washington hoped for when he crossed the Delaware. It's what Qin Shi Huangdi believed would come when he unified China. It's what Moses split the Red Sea for. If aliens really existed, they'd be spotted here. If I ate one a day I'd gain 2 pounds a day and that's fine. I wouldn't care. 400 lbs? Ok. Bring it on, I say. Don't test me. As I sit on the John - Delta forcing out a few nukes - I think to myself... oh what a wonderful world. What a wonderful world I live in that I could experience the (and a) Gasm. The Anthony Kay. The Steven Matz. The Boone. The list goes on and on. The amount of underwear I've gone through from ordering the Gasm. Worth it. The M&M cookies on the counter that look at me as if I'm the newest bombshell on the island... oggling and boggling baby. The rumor is these guys churn out millions of cutlets a year. And that's just for me. - Sidebar: Weak sauce LB. Weak. Don't fall into the dad jokes just yet. Don't embarrass me in front of my people. Don't do it. - Anyways. As a poor young man(not that my circumstances have changed) I used to save up my measly funds for just one sandwich on the weekend. It would consume me all week and then I'd consume it in mere minutes. Every time me and my rapscallion crew would come we'd be certain that we'd eat half there and then eat the half later or save the rest for the week. Others had self control to stick to the plan. But I did not. And I'm proud of that. I'm proud of the man I've become. But not proud enough. For one day... one day... I'll go to Se-Port and I'll order The Linguini B. Only on that day, will I be allowed to die. To escape the brilliance of the world and head to the distraction of darkness. Until then - There is much to do. People to influence. Persuasion to persuade. Lust to lunge for. Sandwiches to feast on. The glory of Se-Port. I live a tender distance from this master factory of a deli; however, it's one of the few pieces in this world worth traveling a ridonk distance for. I will walk the Whitestone Bridge to be reacquainted. I would slosh around in the sewage of the Sound to make my way to this Mecca. I am currently working on my masters in astrophysics solely with the purpose of conjugating and coagulating a way to build the first wormhole - From my bed, straight to the parking lot of Seport. Few failed attempts, so far, but thankfully I'm not self-testing. Don't report me. Jokes on you... I'm closer than you'd think. Well. I'm sure you get my notes in the mail, so I'll wrap this up. One day, my love. One day, again, as we had it before. You and me, on the water, whisking the waves with the palms our feet. Our luscious hair sweeping the wind. Stopping time with the strength of our shared gazes. Our hands interlocked, just like our shared destinies. Yours tenderly and truthfully - LB.

It's a deli that has become extremely popular due to social media sharing…read more It is clean, there is plenty of space to sit and they have an immense number of specialty sandwiches that are posted on boards all around the counter. They serve hot food as well as standard sandwiches and they stuff the sandwiches quite a bit, almost too much. The service at the counter is always friendly when they take my order. The issue is, they are extremely overpriced. A bologna sandwich on a simple roll and a seltzer should not be approximately $20. The chicken cutlets are microwaved when they are ordered and they just aren't good and they are very pricy. Also, they don't sell drinks in cans, which would be a bit cheaper because a bottle of soda for $4 is just not fair. If you want a standard deli sandwich, at a reasonable price, I'd try a different deli in the area.

Best breakfast I have had in years!…read more I tried Deli Button on a whim because they were in my area and were on Doordash. It was a great decision. We ordered the steak, egg and cheese on plain rolls. It comes with coffee, tea or an orange juice. The prices are very reasonable. This is a total old school breakfast special. My compadre also got a hash brown to make the minimum for Doordash delivery. Again, a lot of food for a terrific price. The food arrived quickly, fresh and hot. The sandwiches were huge and made perfectly. The roll was so fresh! The steak and eggs were amazing. I specified swiss cheese and the instructions were followed. I was told the hash brown was delightful. The coffee was made exactly as specified. This was an absolutely amazing breakfast, and they serve many more great looking meals if you do a quick online search. I can't wait to try their sandwiches and hot meals as well. Thank you for superior food and great service Deli Button. Even your name is cute!

Now they re located on a point of land so we ended up coming in through the back and leaving out the front where the parking lot was located. Lots of folks up and ready to eat at 7:30a on a Sunday. They have a lot of options here for breakfast and lunch. Hopped in line and ordered our sandwiches, I then had time to take pictures and check it all out. Seating available with tables for about 25 people. Coffee station with the staples plus many dairy free options available. Chips, dips, jerky, candy, snack cakes and multiple beverages. Sandwiches were up in no time. We grabbed our goodies and headed out. It blew my man's mind when he saw how big my sandwich was, I ordered extra bacon. Very good! Happy we decided to stop for this.
