Ever since the deli was sold the sandwiches became horrible. Food overcooked and quality went down

They do not give you boats head, the ham had balls in it eww. I ordered Ham and Swiss on a roll w mayo. Sandwich had 3 thin slices of non boars head ham and one slice of extremely thin. $8.00 The whole sandwich was just a roll of bread. Scammers read more

A go-to for sandwiches! I love this place. It was close to my place of residence and there was a time staff ordered from here daily for lunch. The deli is close to St John's university so it has taken a very college ambiance especially with the sandwiches have such clever names. Food: i ordered the ROTC (no bacon). It was amazing as usual. They have very unique sandwiches you can pre order or make your own creation. Bread is always fresh and ingredients as always too notch. They have vegetarian creations as well. Ambiance: it's a deli. It's small but I normally order for pick up. There are regular deli items for for purchase. And a tv to watch while you wait for your order. Price: the sandwiches are on the pricy side but a hero usually lasts me two meals so well worth it. Service: store owner is very pleasant and funny. The man making the sad which is patient and quick with the orders. Overall if you're in the mood for something different and creative come here for a different hero sandwich experience. read more

Double J Deli - (Reheated) ROTC on garlic hero bread (no bacon) - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Double J for the win every damn time! I don't think there isn't a great sandwich this place can't make. I had a chopped cheese just now and finally writing this review that should have been written long ago. John is phenomenal. Great human being. Sandwich maker on the morning/day shift is awesome too. Just love going here! They do accept cards as of the past year or so. read more

Double J is one of the best sandwich spots in the area. Especially if you're a St. John's student. They're always open and the selection of sandwiches are endless! You have to try and find the right times to go because you can go in and get a sandwich in a decent time or you can go at another time and be waiting a while. Prices are good, service is good! read more

Absolute best deli, hands down I've been going here for over 20 years, whenever we leave Long Island, we stop off for lunch sandwiches here read more

This unassuming little deli has the largest selection of sandwiches I've ever seen. The owner is super friendly and I don't think there is anything bad on the menu. Cash only, FYI. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

Double J Deli - a sandwich on tin foil - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Need breakfast and I heard this was a good place for it. It's a small deli/convince store with a huge menu of hero sandwiches. I am pretty sure they can make anything you desire if it's not on the menu. I end up ordering the vegetarian option, which turned out to be an okay hero but not great. I would be willing to try it again and try something different. Price a little steep for just a sandwich. The service was pleasant read more

Double J is the little deli that could. A great neighborhood joint for great sandwiches, wraps & to-go breakfast. This is the type of place where the cops hangout, so you know the food is good and John the proprietor knows you by name. Open 24 hrs and only 2 blocks from St John's University makes it a great place for beer runs, late night eats, hangover & post-partying crawls. Recently, they've added all these funky sandwiches with wacky names and weird combinations you see at other college town delis. There's the Grill Man w/ cajun roast beef, grilled onions, chipotle sauce on garlic bread, the Fly Me to the Moon w/ turkey pastrami, chicken nuggets, cheese. There's also the End of the World (don't remember what's on it), a heart attack on a hero. Customize them how you want them, and eat them at anytime of day you want. The specialty sandwiches range from $6.50-$9.50 and it's cash only. read more

Double J Deli - Storefront - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

If I can give a negative star I would... The guy that took my order for my sandwich was really rude to me... I ordered and spoke English and he called me a damn Chinese... I'm seriously appalled you don't judge someone but the way they look and this type of behavior especially when this deli is Asian owned... First I'm not even Chinese and second you guys should never treat your customers this way... read more

Pre-pandemic, this deli always was busy (even into the wee hours) turning out fresh, hot, delicious heroes. I'm not sure if ownership changed, but the last two times I ate there I was really disappointed. Soggy fries, un-fresh cutlets, unmelted mozzarella sticks and in general re-used ingredients were what was in my heroes. I hope the ownership sees this and brings back the former deli staff, and commits to making fresh sandwiches again. Business has dropped so much for the deli, that they're no longer open 24 hrs and now I always see the store totally empty every time I pass it. A few years ago that would have been unthinkable. Please fix it read more

Great food and very courteous staff, also the hours are unbeatable. You can always tell that a deli is good quality when there are regulars lining up. 5 stars. read more

Good deli! Great staff and ability to order for pick up! Variety of options and friendly staff. Could be better organized.

The sandwich was amazing, and the service was super friendly! So many options and quick to get food out.

Double J Deli has given me some of the best meals of my life. Emotionally. Do yourself a favor and get a sandwich. Support a local business. Support your mental health. read more

It was my first time visiting this place and I loved the service. They were very helpful and there are so many options to choose from! I got grilled chicken with tomatoes and mayo and mozzarella cheese on a whole wheat wrap and it was the most DELICIOUS wrap I've ever had. My bf got the EXB wrap. Will definitely visit again soon! read more

The place was closed when I got there around 1pm, there was a sign there saying Closed but there was no explanation given. Surprising, given it was a weekday with college in session. Will try to come back. read more

3.5 I wish I head read the previous review before going to the deli because "the beast" sounds ammmmmazing! I passed by this place all the time but didn't go in to try till my coworkers recommended it (I always thought it was just a convenience store). They have a super extensive menu- which is actually one of it's drawbacks. I felt so overwhelmed trying to read all the different kinds of sandwiches and salads off the wall. It would have been helpful if they had a paper copy. I went for the egg salad both times which was good and a good dinner when I wasn't in the mood for pizza across the street. Also a good bet for buying water if you live in the neighborhood and can't grocery shop. read more

If you go to St. John's University odds are you've heard of Double Js. I transferred to this school and didn't know a lot of people. The first day I moved in and met my new roommates they got me in the car and drove me over to try it. It's a necessity to have every week. From the first time to now I've gotten a GDI sandwich which is a heaven on a hero. If you don't like what the GDI has then, they have another sandwich for you. Their menu is so big that they literally can't fit it on one page. Anything you can imagine in your wildest dreams in a sandwich is already in the menu here. read more

Oh Double J's. You're a St John's staple and it's become an unofficial rite of passage for SJU kids to try one of your sandwiches. Double J's is not your average bodega. They really do it all. Their sandwiches have a lot of whacky names, with most being references to organizations and insider jokes of St. John's students. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with the amount of sandwiches they have - they have a whole wall full of 'em! The guys who run the place are hard working and very nice. My sandwiches always hit the spot. read more

Been going to Double J's since 09. I make it a point to stop off and get a sandwich and iced coffee made with LOVE from Johnny whenever I'm in the area. A lot of options and they're always trying new things. Good food and good vibes. read more

If you even been to cherry valley, you'll notice that a lot of the sandwich listed here are the same as cherry valley's, word for word but this is no generic substitution. The sandwiches here stand out on their own. I've tried "the beast" (chicken cutlet, bacon, onion rings, swiss cheese and brown gravy) which is what cherry valley is known for and I have to admit, they do it pretty well here too. The chicken is very moist, most delis that I've gone to serve a dry cutlet. They also don't drench their sandwiches in sauce. I would avoid the pastrami though unless you come here after drinking. Its very salty and at times can be a bit much to handle. They have something called a chikastrami which is a combo of a chicken cutlet, pastrami and bacon, something you have to try if you can handle this heart attack of a sandwich. read more

Miss this place! One of my fav things about attending St. John's was how close to proximity it is to double j'a. Now that I'm back in my hometown I just randomly thought of it. Might even have to take a drive back just for the sub. Always made fresh and a guarantee that you'll come back. 4 star cause of the pricing but overall really great. read more

I didn't even know this place made such big sandwiches until browsing yelp. I really enjoyed the sand which but I only gave 3 stars due to the fact that they only take cash and it's extremely cold while you wait and the garlic bread could have been more garlicky. Also, there are so many different sandwiches, it takes forever to make up your mind. Other then that, I will be back as long as I have cash. read more

The owner john is a gentleman good Quality food breakfast and lunch choices are good .I recommend it !!!!

This is a dingey looking bodega from the outside, but inside they have all kinds of a-typical sweet and savory snacks, drinks and condiments. Most importantly, they have awesome super cheap heros with pretty much anything you want inside: Fried eggs, mozzerella sticks, chicken nuggets, bacon, deli meats, onion rings, hashbrowns, spicy fries, homefries, etc etc. There's not a whole lot of good food options in the area, but this is a great spot for a quick, casual bite. 24hrs is awesome, Cash Only is not. Thankfully nothing here requires having too much cash on hand. read more

Every college has that sandwich spot that dudes flock to. Double J is that spot for SJU. It is an absolute hole in the wall and it smell of fried food permeates the air (and the immediate vicinity). The place has a huge menu of breakfast sandwiches and sandwiches for consumption. My favorite here are the egg sandwiches for breakfast which are always fresh and tasty. Prices are a bit high but I've never had a bad meal here. Owner is always friendly so that's a plus. read more

They have way too many sandwiches. Their entire store is plastered with what seems to be community created sandwiches in which 2 sandwiches that share all ingredients but the cheese but are given two totally different names. Expect to stand there in the small cramped space for a while deciding what you want. Or you can just create your own sandwich. Prices are moderately high (8-9 bucks for a sandwich including tax), and the portion size is just enough. They also sell other convenience store items like drinks, booze, snacks, and plastic cups. Friendly enough staff. EDIT: Forgot to mention it's cash only. read more
