Chicken over rice - without the sauce

My food was absolutely delicious! My friend recommended this place to me, and I finally came. They gave me a HUGE portion, which I couldnt finish (and I normally do). I was very pleased with my food. They did take a little longer than expected to make my food. It looked like only two people were working in the kitchen. So, next time I'll definitely order ahead of time. They do have a few seating tables that you can have a quick bite at. This place is huge, on the other side it has a deli section. I can't wait to try everything. All the food that I received (in the photo) was only $7.00! Definitely try this place! They do take card as well.

BEC croissant

This deli is ginormous! Half of it is a Vape shop and the other half is the deli with the order here/cash out lines. The two are separated by the beverage fridges stocked with everything from milk to beer. Not sure how I feel about that vape section. I don't feel like it's sanitary and I sure as hope they don't actually have people trying flavors in there. The left hand of the store looks like it use to be operational but it looks pretty deserted. It at this size I can see how filling the space as a deli has made itself difficult. I placed my order for BEC on a croissant. He asked me if I wanted SPK and I said absolutely. Nice catch! They don't make iced tea or lemonade during the winter. :c So I ventured the fridges to find an Arizona. No Arizona; I settled for a peach tea Snapple. The sandwich was out in what felt like 3 min. The line to cash out ran even faster and I was out the door on route to work before I knew it. Perfect. I was upset that upon opening my sandwich there was no SPK. Why ask if you forgot faster than I said yes? Anyway. The croissant was bigger than the fillings so I literally had a mouthful of bread for the first few bites. I ate the middles of both halves and threw the rest away like cutting off the crust. Lame! Next time I'll order on a roll and see if they fill it better! Not enough to make me avoid this location because it's conveniently located next to the highway but trust me next time I'll be grabbing a Yoo Hoo to nurture my wounds!

Stopped in for lunch today. The staff are very friendly and they can make a sandwich in no time! I ordered the italiano and asked for s&p and oil and vinegar to be added...made very well and had lots of deli meats (maybe one more slice of cheese...) and had it on a roll for $5.99! My boyfriend ordered a large penne ala vodka (they don't weigh it they just fill the container for $10.99...and I mean FILL IT) and it was your average pasta considering it's not an Italian restaurant...the sauce could've used a good pinch of salt and the penne was definitely overdone but what can you expect when they make large trays to serve for the day. It did have chicken in it and prosciutto (and he had plenty leftover) so overall a decent dish for on the go lunch. They also have tables to sit and eat at which is a plus as well.

WARNING!! This place is nothing to look at. The perimeter fence is dilapidated and a little rusty. The outside of the building looks like there has not been maintenance person on site in eons. But once you get inside, well honestly the scenery doesn't really change. Everything looks just old. The deli counter old, the pizza ovens also old, the small dining space with horrid mechanics break room quality Formica tables and chairs, that are so old that maybe they're coming back in style (not), are incredibly old. Let face it the place is nothing to look at in any regard. If you can get over that issue, you can get a very nice sandwich. Their deli section looks rather ordinary but the creations that come out of here are truly delightful. I've eaten here twice doing some work in the area and the first time I orders just what someone else was having not knowing the menu. It was a chicken type here with some muenster cheese a special dressing and some peppers . This was on a fresh hero with tasty chicken and a dressing that I could not recognize. Trust me I really tried even resorting to licking it off my fingers (purely for investigative purposes you understand). The second visit I had them make on of my favorite sandwiches, hot pastrami and bacon with spicy brown mustard and provolone. They nailed it. I was sold. One of the my great barometers for lunch time is the quality of the bacon. A lot of placed cook their daily requirements in the AM and live off it all day. That means the lunch bacon is old and stale and usually pretty tough on the chompers. Bacon that is still crisp at lunch time tells me they know how to manage the kitchen. I have never had their pizza but folks report it as being OK. In general when other report OK it's usually a FAIL for me, but I'm going to ignore the pizza for now since I haven't tasted it. In the end I'm going three stars. Four might make people think I'm exaggerating out the aesthetics. "How could a place with four stars have such poor aesthetics?" some might ask. So to avoid this confusion three stars is my final answer. Figure four star food with a one star penalty for ambiance, 'cause there is none.

Since writing my first review, my intrigue turned into a weekly visit! The food is unreal!…read moreAbsolutely delicious and I keep trying these new foods I would never eat. I wish I ate bell peppers, because a lot of their dishes have them. So even on a limited selection for me, they always have Plenty of fresh variety. If you are lucky enough to be there when the fried, butterfly shrimp tray comes out, be prepared for a "Wall Street like" experience to erupt! Lol. I have had amazing Yucca, beef patties, fried shrimp, pulled chicken and 12 things I can't pronounce! They don't have signage and if you speak Spanish you can order in Spanish also. Best hot food you can buy and you get charged by the container load, so you get nice portions for the money. If they were going to fix anything, they would have better signage that explains what everything is. But it gives it a mystery appeal I guess that makes it desirable. Definitely eat here for the ultimate bodega hot food experience.

This is a local bodega serving Dominican food. It's clearly a neighborhood staple, with a steady…read moreflow of customers coming in on their lunch break. I stopped in to grab something quick. They offer a large plate for $14.99 and a small starting at $9, which comes with rice, beans, and a choice of meat. There are also fried empanadas and a cold salad section available. I ordered arroz con gandules, beans, and half of a small roasted chicken. The food wasn't as hot as I expected for items sitting on the line. Flavor-wise, it was decent but nothing that stood out. Pricing felt a little high--my large meal and a Coke came out to just under $19 with tax. I'd probably stop by again if I was in a rush and craving Spanish food, but overall it was a lackluster experience.

Heroes were amazing, and literaly the best potato salad I have had , since 1999. The year I moved. Thinly sliced and just delicious. My wife and I stopped in on our way to McCarther Airport. We were greeted by 2 very nice counter workers. We both ordered different roast beef subs. And potatoe salad with bacon. My sandwich was the munchie. A staple at Bagelicious. Plenty of meat on both . We ate half our sandwiches at the outside table, and finished the other half at the airport. If we move back to Long Island, I would get a sandwich , every weekend.

I had thought maybe they just ran out the first time I went, so when I went back a month later, to my surprise, they still didn't have that. I was able to get fried chicken cutlet instead, which isn't what I truly wanted as I am trying to eat better, but it was good, just not what I had wanted. They did not have whole wheat wraps, the did not have avocado and they did not have chipotle mayo. I really struck out on this deli. I had also ordered a sausage egg and cheese which was good, but the bagel was just ok. It's truly been an issue finding a good deli around Bay Shore.

This is your classic Long Island deli with bagels. I grew up about 7 minutes away. I love it so…read moremuch! Bright Bay definitely has the best egg sandwich in Bay Shore! Their poppy seed rolls are so fresh and their eggs are always cooked to order. The quality of their bacon and cheese complement the eggs so eloquently to make this BEC sandwich the best tasting in Suffolk County. My mom says their chicken salad is very tasty too and their lunch sandwich options are banging! The workers are very kind and make your order just the way you like it without any flaws. They have a large fridge with plenty of beverage options and a coffee station to brew up the Joe prepared to your liking! The vibe inside reminds you of home if you're from the island.

The workers greet you with a smile and once they get to know you they remember and call you by your name. Great customer service. The food is delish. I usually get the breakfast, but everything I order even the home made muffins are good. Prices are very reasonable. The only issue is the parking lot. Hard to find parking during the day and evening. This deli is located in a little strip on Bayshore Rd with a bar ,Carvel, pizza shop and a lotto store. Great deli for breakfast sandwiches and sub sandwiches. Great for catering as well.
