Blueberry milk tea with blueberry popping boba.
Wilsy A.

After having this in my list for like EVER! I was in the area & decided to stop by, regardless of the low reviews I saw on here. When arriving the ambiance felt ok, the staff could've been a bit more welcoming but I had no issues on my visit. I decided to go with something simple on the menu like the Honey Bee on a hero just as is. It had chicken cutlet, bacon, pepper jack cheese, & honey mustard. I thought this option was straight, nothing crazy. The chicken cutlets tasted really good & I love honey mustard, definitely felt like there was no bacon. If you didn't know, they have another counter inside that serves bubble teas, & other drink options. I went with a flavor I haven't tried before; a blueberry milk tea with blueberry popping boba & it was really good! If I'm ever in the area again I would stop by to give them another shot. I wish I could give this establishment an overall 3.5 rating on here but I can't.

67. Heart Attack - Roll

Food: The Hank (Platter) - Very Filling. Wishing for more gravy throughout the meal. I also wished the items were more intertwined instead of just sitting on top of each other. Heart Attack on a Roll - Fantastic Sauce. There is a reason why this item is one of the most popular items on the menu. The grease will give you heartburn later in the day but it was good while having it. On to my next food adventure...

67. Heart Attack - Roll
Darren X.

The Heart Attack never fails. While the chicken can occasionally be a bit dry, it's usually solid and flavorful. HIGHLY recommend getting it on a hero (forgot to ask today) to help hold all the sauce and ingredients together and adding avocado. It adds moisture and makes the sandwich creamier, especially if the chicken isn't super juicy that day. Also call ahead for pick up as wait times can get pretty high late at night!

This deli has the absolute best sandwiches!! I've had it twice now and both times were 10/10. Their special sauce is delicious, and it's a a lot of food for a great price. Can't wait to go back!

Heart Attack on a Hero (~$15) - subbed avocado instead of bacon
Aya E.

Ordered: Heart Attack on a Hero (~$15): chicken cutlet, melted mozzarella cheese, spicy French fries, onion ring, avocado (instead of bacon), and Cristina's special sauce. Aya's take: Wow, I have been missing out! I've always heard of the infamous Cristina's but never had the chance to give it a try until now! This hero is exactly what you'd want on a cheat day that will 100% give you the itis after. We called in our order about 10-15 minutes before arriving and it was ready when we got there. The chicken cutlet was seasoned and fried well, the fries were crispy, it was loaded with mozzarella and delicious Russian dressing. The avocado really gave it some freshness and cut through a lot of the greasiness of this insanely satisfying sandwich. I finally understand the hype of this place; do yourself a favor and go!

I'm allergic to BACON ASSHOLES

Worst customer service ever. I told them no bacon my wife is allergic yet do you know the ambulance had rush her to the ER because they don't care about people's lives they only want to collect money. Worst food ever no top of that they be scamming people for there money. Always ask for a receipt they hesitated when I ask for an item receipt because they knew they overcharged me.

BUYER BEWARE: RACIST PRACTICES! It's so upsetting to be writing this review but after many years of coming to this place they've changed so much. They're "famous" now so if you're white you will be taken care of first, your sandwiches will be prioritized and they'll allow you to use the restroom. If you aren't white, be prepared to wait mad long for your sandwich to be made and for the Asian guy at the register to be rude to you and talk down on you. You're also not allowed to use the restroom if you aren't white. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere if you're a person of color.

First time my friend and I decided to get a wrap from here. I made an order for pickup for two chicken caesar wraps (ONLY ONE LIGHT DRESSING) & small waffle fries. Unfortunately both wraps ended up having barely any dressing & all you could taste was the chicken and tomato. I also wish they would have had a restroom for customers! Good thing was they had blow pops lollipop so it made up for that downside lol

I wanted to try Cristina's Deli after I saw a youtube video of a couple raving about the Heart Attack sandwich. The hero was quite filling as it was large enough to feed me and my boyfriend. It contained Chicken cutlet, melted mozzarella cheese, spicy French fries, onion ring, bacon, and Cristina special sauce. The secret sauce was a little bit overpowering, though the chicken looked well-seasoned it was a little dry, I saw the fries and onion rings but couldn't taste it over everything else. Prices are fair and the order did not take long, but it's not something I would crave again.

The Hank large size
Irene C.

Heard a lot of great things about this place and finally decided to check it out. I ordered the famous heart attack on a hero which was pretty good and enough to fill me and my friend. The chicken cutlet in the sandwich was a little tough but not dry and went down easy. The Hank which was just chicken and spicy fries with cheese and gravy tasted decent too. I only wish they had added more gravy to the fries. Prices are fair and I would definitely come back. Recommend grabbing a sandwich and taking a walk down to Francis Lewis park to eat and enjoy the view.

Waffle French Fries
Bentley H.

One of Whitestone's late night places to get a meal. Ordered the roast beef delight which comes with roast beef and mozzarella cheese plus sauces. You can choose between a sub, roll, or other breads. Sandwich was ok but the waffle fries are crispy and seasoned. Will be back to try other interesting sandwiches on the menu. Order ahead on the phone as lines and wait can be long.

The Heart Attack (#67) on a Roll
Emmilee M.

I've been coming here for years for late night, you'll-regret-this-in-the-morning kind of eats and it never disappoints. It's always packed with a young New York crowd, so order ahead if you want to save yourself the wait. The chicken cutlets have gotten thicker on their sandwiches and the secret sauce is still just as good as ever, so always get extra. A place worthy of the hype and checking off your list at least once in your life.

The sandwiches from here are always amazing; best to eat at the spot than to order because the sandwiches are wayyy better fresh.

Steve's Deli & Grill - French Philly Cheesesteak

Steve's Deli & Grill

4.8(10 reviews)
6.0 mi•Jamaica

I stopped by Steve's Deli after work cause I was crazing a good chop cheese. I saw one review where…read morethey stated they had a good one at this deli. There are no options by where I work and this was not too far away from fresh meadows where I live. I must say 5 out of 5. It was perfectly made and bread was lightly toasted and it hit the spot !!! I hope that next time I crave a chop cheese it will be just as good as it was that day.

L was in the area so I told him to go try this place out. Only had one review so I was a bit…read morehesitant...I guess this place is new since the cook didn't even recognize the items on their own menu and had to check what was in it...so of course L got annoyed cuz I chose a sandwich they didn't recognize. HTF should I know that the people who work there have no clue what's on the menu. Yeah I chose the weird Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It sounded much better on paper than in reality. It didn't taste like a real Philly cheesesteak sandwich. It had a lot of mushrooms in it but the gravy sauce tasted weird and it barely had any cheese. He also ordered a halal gyro over rice. Not sure which protein... chicken probably... I really didn't care for it. It didn't taste like anything you'd expect from a halal place. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh but the seasoning on the food was non-existent. Where are all the spices! Didn't taste cumin, coriander.. garlic, etc! So bland. No heat whatsoever from the sauces? It tasted more like creamy bbq sauce. Don't serve halal food for the sake of having variety on the menu. The texture of of the rice was a lil odd for me and it wasn't basmati rice. I'm giving it 3 stars cuz it really was just okay, if anything, I'm being a bit generous. I didn't feel like cooking lunch on a Friday but I could've easily made something tastier for less money.
