3.5 stars I came to Farmer 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. read more

I've have been going to farmer in the deli since I was a teenager and b4 any of the social media exploits. 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. read more

The whole time I was seeing this sandwich be made, looking at the sandwich afterwards, then eating this sandwich, I had to keep thinking the same thing over and over again. This is not a tuna sandwich. Sure, yes, you could get one here, but that would be missing the whole point of this deli/sandwich shop, where for a few extra dollars, the staff will finely chop everything you want in your sandwich, compress it into a block of unrecognizable wreck, then slather the whole thing onto your choice of bread (get a hero here). I went here on a weekday during a lull between lunch and dinner, and there was still a decent line! Rumor has it on weekends during lunch rush a line can form out the door! At least it moves when somebody is not ordering for their entire family or apartment. Before I came here, I did my research and discovered turkey sandwiches are the big ticket. I ordered a honey turkey hero with lettuce, tomato, mayo, deli mustard, American cheese, oil, and red wine vinegar. Some things cost a bit extra, but that is okay. I also got it chopped because that is the thing here. You do not have to do it that way, but honestly, you should. The sandwich is made before me, all the chopping, piling, spreading, slicing, it feels like you are watching your sandwich come to life! After 10-15 minutes of ooh's and aah's, it is brought to the cash register, rung up, thank you have a nice day, and off you go. There is nowhere to sit as it is really a glorified neighborhood bodega. Thankfully, Fort Greene Park is only about a five minute walk from the deli, so I made a beeline for the park, found an empty picnic table, and made like Aqualung as I opened the wrapping to see my newborn child, um, I mean my chopped hero. Again, upon opening, I had to keep saying to myself, this is not a tuna sandwich, this is not a tuna sandwich. After one bite, I could tell coming here was the right move after a long day. Taking a bite of the sandwich in between watching videos of this made me all the more excited to keep at it. In fact, I found as I took more bites I found the sandwich gets better and better. All the bites had everything I ordered in the sandwich. Best of all, despite its size, this sandwich did not fill me up like I thought it would. Manhattan has Chopped Cheese in Haji's, but this is a unique Brooklyn treasure. Between this, Defonte's, and Lioni, Brooklyn has a Holy Trinity of sandwich shops, with Jimmy's as their jester, or if I want to keep with the piety, the pope. Before I wrap up this review, I want to thank two Yelpers for recommending me this spot. You know who you are. I will keep you nameless because the best heroes have to remain anonymous in order for them to keep up the good fight. No, not those heroes silly! Although I do hope after you read this review you will go and get one of these sandwiches on a hero roll. read more

Will have anything chopped in a hero from Farmer in the Deli. Got my first chopped sandwich here & have been going back because they do it so well here. Meat is sliced fresh & they have a large selection. Tons of toppings to add on & chop - including a bag of chips!! I like mine chopped a little less than they usually would + add mayo & honey mustard on the hero & I looove it. Have tried honey maple turkey & pastrami smoked turkey and both were great. Trying hot pastrami chopped next 1000% read more

Chopped sandwich was delicious! If you come during the day expect to wait on a line potentially wrapping around the store. It doesn't move as quickly as I had hoped. While the wait may have been a big of a downer, the sandwich wasn't! I went with the honey turkey with lettuce, tomato, pickles, swiss cheese, pepper, and an old school Dipsy Doodles as my crunch factor and it didn't disappoint. This sandwich is also very shareable for two. The price also didn't disappoint either. I cant remember the last time I got a really kicking sandwich for less than 13 bucks. read more

This was a late night snack. Honey turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oil and vinegar. It wasn't as crowded as usual. Only had 2 lines open, but it was moving quick. Sandwich was great as always. The store looks a lil renovated. New fridges and sandwich meat cases. Doesn't disappoint. If you on the area. Please try it. read more

I love the fact that Famer in the Deli is open 24 hours! This place has a pretty extensive menu, offering breakfast options, different types of sandwiches (turkey, chicken, and beef), as well as chopped sandwiches. We came here super early in the morning, and the fact that this place was packed tells you something! We ordered a Honey Maple Turkey chopped sandwich on a hero, with pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, salt, oil, and vinegar; the amount that this was inside the bread was ridiculous! The bread itself was fresh and soft, and the filling could equate to another 4 sandwiches; you could also use it as a spread for crackers! Don't forget to add a Hans Jurgen pickle - they have 2 kinds, but get the larger of the two - these are pickled perfectly, super fresh, and also big enough to share between 2-4 people! There are about 4 staff members behind the counter who take your order(s) and keep the line moving - they are all super friendly and kind! The place also has a good selection of drinks and chips to add to your meal. A great spot to fulfill a good sandwich craving! +Hans Jurgen pickles +chopped sandwiches +friendly service read more

I made a 45 minute walk all the way to try this spot that has gone viral for their chopped turkey sandwiches. When I arrived on a Saturday at 3pm, there was a line that wrapped around the store. While waiting in line, you can grab a bag of chips and drink. The tip is to get a bag of chips to add into your sandwich for some extra flavor and crunch. For my sando, I got the Chopped Honey Maple Turkey on Hero ($11.99) with Pepper Jack Cheese (+$1). Also got all the fix-ins: lettuce, tomato, mayo, salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil. I added half my bag of Utz Crab flavored chips ($2) as well. When I went to pay for it, they even staple my opened bag of chips to "seal" it back for me. It's definitely cool to see them make your sandwich in front of you. Because everything is made to order, the line moves slow thus the long wait times. I ended up waiting 50 minutes. Also, grabbed a bottle of Arizona Green Tea ($1.25) to enjoy my meal over at Fort Green Park. You know how they say you gotta get a bite of everything? This is what makes a chopped cheese so good-- because all the ingredients are well infused together. It might also look like a lot of mayo, but it gives it such a creamy and moist consistency like a chicken/tuna salad. The sandwich is also super filling as I only ate half and then finished the rest for dinner when I got home. Honestly, this sandwich is worth the hype and it's so delicious. The thing is that the wait is so long and it makes me wonder if I could get some similar at another bodega without the wait. read more

No lines when I went, not the usual experience so I was glad only 2 people were ahead. The sandwiches artists here are friendly and will make your sammich exactly the way you want it. They are very proud of their craft. You can get traditional layouts and choose from the board. The lure of this place is the chopped up ingredients and you have the option to be creative, adding chips or anything from the grocery shelves onto the chopping board. On prior visits I've seen some combos that either made me sway my own order or give the silent eye roll. Today I was getting it for my hubby who likes to keep it simple. So no Buffalo flavored chips or salsa etc that I've previously seen. He got pastrami ,pepper jack cheese ,lettuce tomatoes onions and banana peppers. Either way you're gonna leave with a satisfying sandwich and they also have great fresh pickles. Cash or card. ATM in store if you need. Delicious is clean and the staff is friendly. read more

Very good sandwiches and the guys who work there are really nice. Great deal for the price. I went on a Saturday at like 2:30 and the line didn't look super long but it took a really long time. I probably would only return if there were a couple people in line, though I really liked my sandwich. read more

I've been hearing about "Farmer In the Deli" for years. People talked about the amount of food you get for a great price. That sounded like music to my ears, so I had to check it out. If you are driving, parking in the areas is a pain, so give yourself time because it will take awhile. The outside of the building speaks history, it's older and not modernized. Inside is about the same, but it is tight in there. They have isles packed with groceries, but offer no seating. That's the trade off to sell more product I guess. You line up around the back of the store and wait. I mean really wait. The line is slow and takes time. I spent a lot of time just waiting. However, I finally got to the counter and was able to order. This delis claim to fame is that you can make sandwiches anyway you want and I mean anyway, you can choose chips, sauces, and meats to go into your sandwich. After the chop, they put it between a hero or roll and your off. I decided to get turkey and cheddar, bacon with a few toppings. After I went to the counter paid and had to sit in my car to eat, if you go there to get full, mission accomplished! This sandwich is massive. I almost didn't finish it, I said almost. But the sandwich was lacking something. I guess, I want to say flavor. They didn't put enough cheese on it, the bread was a bit hard, and the mayo was kinda bland. All in all, I really wasn't impressed. Full, yes! But that's probably not enough to get me to go back....I mean come on, food is great when you enjoy it. read more

Super delicious chopped sandwiches here! Don't forget to add a bag of chips to chop into it :) I like this location a lot and have tried the chopped sandwich at this location and in midtown. This is definitely a much larger and older deli, which has some chaotic charm. The line moves quickly and the staff are super quick and skilled. I highly recommend getting the toasted hero sandwich and adding some chips. I enjoyed my turkey with cool ranch Doritos, and added some chopped banana peppers and jalapeños as well. It is a bit pricey for sandwiches, and one hero with some additions came out to ~$15. Be warned it is a very heavy sandwich, as the base relies pretty heavily on mayo! I felt full just eating half of the sandwich. Would come again if i'm craving a chopped sandwich! read more

The best deli sandwiches in the city. I kept seeing videos on social media, so I went myself and it checked out. 10/10! Great customer service and they're helpful if it's your first time going in there. The sandwiches are pretty good as well. I will go back. read more

This place had been in my bucket list forever and we finally made it to NY. The sandwich was worth the trip from Manhattan. It was so good. They have loads of specialty chips on the other side of the store to pair with your sandwich. I got the chopped mesquite turkey and honey mustard. They hand chop the smithereens out of it. The guys making the sandwiches were nice. There is no place to eat inside b/c it's like a corner store. Parking is a bit of a challenge if you drive there and if you go at night there can be some weirdos outside. I'd go again in a "NY minute" next time I'm there! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Farmer In the Deli. I used to live close by and go pretty frequently, but despite living further, we still make sure to come by when we can. Walk in and head straight to the back to get in line. Grab some chips while you wait! Chopped, chopped, chopped, they do it best! Be warned, there will likely be a line, even at 2am, but it moves fast. I really love getting tuna, chicken and turkey pastrami but really, you can't go wrong with any of their cuts. Same goes for the cheeses. My favorite thing about this place is they do NOT skimp on portions. You'll need a fork to catch everything as you eat. One thing I really like about these guys is they have an option without any bread, where you get all the goods but in a plastic bowl. If you're cutting down on carbs, it's a great option. Worth the stop, worth the wait, and worth the carbs :) read more

I'm already trying to plan my next visit to the store! My friend and I were in Brooklyn for the day and I found this location on tiktok because it went viral. We needed to try it before we went back home to Jersey and I'm so happy we did. Yes it is a corner store with your convenient needs but the chopped sandwiches are the star of the show I'm not sure why the chopped Ingredients make the sandwich 10 times better but it was worth the visit. I can't remember the exact price but it varied between $11-$14 and well worth it. You can have it on a hero (long sub bread) or a roll. You can also opt to add chips in your chopped sandwich just hand them the bag. I got the honey maple turkey provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, extra mayo, oil, vinegar, and pepper and a oregano on a hero. Staff was very nice but as you wait in line, make sure to look at the menu so you can know what you want to order to keep up the pace since it does get busy. Overall 10/10! read more

Loved the concept of the chopped sandwich- I got chicken, cheese, banana peppers and jalapeño potato chips for some crunch, vinegar and oil etc.... I don't like mayo at all so I didn't do that and the same was a little dry. Having some ranch to mix in would have been perfect (I know it's mayo based). Anyway the sandwich was good and super good price for the amount of food you get which is shocking for NYC. I'd go again! read more

This place is iconic. I used to live nearby and never got a chance to try but I've always wanted to try. There's always a line but it moves fast. I love that they make the sandwich in front of you and all ingredients are fresh and to your preference. The big catch 22 is that they don't have any pork/ham/bacon/salami which is terrible for a sandwich shop. My son and I loved our sandwich which was honey turkey, pepper jack, jalopenos, onions lettuce tomatoe mayo oil and vinegar. Sandwich was HUGE and reasonably priced!! read more

Came at 11:20 AM on a Sunday and there was a long line; we had our food in hand about 30 mins later. Chopped honey turkey sandwich on hero was absolutely incredible - just get that, don't even think. Chopped tuna on roll was good, but more bland. Stick to the turkey. The guys making the sandwiches were super nice, and their skills are so fun to watch. 5 stars for the chopped turkey alone. read more

First review of 2024! Like almost everyone I'm starting the New Year on a fitness/weight loss journey-- with that being said, on my final day of poor eating, I wanted to get a sandwich from here. This place is relatively famous and usually has a very long line. I figured the line wouldn't be too long, but it was-- also, the line moves rather slowly because people usually get multiple sandwiches. Onto the sandwhich, the ingredients are chopped and diced, which actually enhances the sandwhich. I went with turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato and honey mustard on a hero. For a decent price of $13. I would say that both the sandwhich and the experience is well worth it. read more

Wow! It was my first time trying a chopped sandwich & it was divine! We randomly came here as it was near a yelp event we went to. We ordered a chopped sandwich on a hero: honey turkey, american cheese, salt&pepper, oil&vinegar, pickles, honey mustard, lettuce. The staff chopped all the items into a big paste & placed it on the hero. Wow! So much flavors - I felt like I was eating a special chicken salad concoction (the vinegar definitely helped with the taste). The hero was so soft & fresh. This place was so popular that there was 8 people in front of us, but it was worth the wait! This bodega sold a lot of products (beverages, chips, etc) that I haven't seen in other bodegas near me. It was pretty neat! read more

I'm in the area about once a month and never stopped in. Usually because when I make the trip to BK I have a few things on the agenda so I stick to my schedule. Well a few Saturdays ago I had some extra time after an appt and decided to see what the hype was about that was recently circling on social about Farmer in the Deli. It should be noted that most of the hype was from tourists. As a native NYer (born & raised) deli sandwich from the corner stores (bodega or Ock) are not anything new to us. They are staples for both field and road trips. However, here they chop up all of your ingredients and mold it to fit your bread nicely. There was a line and will probably always be a line but it moved fairly quick and the gentleman that assisted me was very pleasant and fast. I did my typical honey turkey and swiss with brown mustard, lettuce and tomatoes. I added black pepper, pickles, banana peppers and oil & vinegar. It was chopped and assembled on a roll. I grabbed a beverage and some chips. Was the sandwhich was good?... Yes! It's my typical go-to ingredients for a sando at the bodega, so I didn't expect anything different in that regard. Was gentleman nice?... Yes Was the price decent?... Typical Was it spectacular?... No It is chopped deli ingredients that may look like mush to some. Yes, you get a taste of everything in one bite but in all honesty having everything chopped makes it extremely messy. If in the area with some extra time and I have a taste for a sandwich I will probably return. Will I have the chop it? Undecided. Just A Note: There is pretty much always a line. It moves quick so if you want to give them a try, just be patient. read more

A solid late night eats. Staying in Brooklyn for a trip, and looking for something that's open at 12 am, and I happy stumbled across this sandwich shop. I've never had a "chopped sandwich" before but it's going to be the first of many. I ordered the honey maple turkey with a bunch of add ons, along with salt and vinegar chips chopped in, and for the size of the sandwich and the value, this definitely hit the spot. read more

You must visit this spot when in Brooklyn! My friend suggested this spot for lunch after exploring Brooklyn and I'm so glad she did. We visited on the perfect day too since it was memorial day and everyone was at the beach or on vacation. There is always long line here and this day, it was cut in half. We got to order fairly quick. I ordered a tuna fish sandwich with banana peppers, pickles, mayo, salt, pepper and vinegar chopped into a roll of choice. You have to get it chopped up it's sooooo good. You can even add a bag of chips. It was a solid meal on a hot day and I will most definitely be back. read more

Came here after reading so many great reviews but I didn't think the 30 minute wait was worth the hype. The portion size is definitely large for the price and the ingredients were fresh, I really appreciated the soft bread however it tasted like an average sandwich for me. I arrived too late so the grill had been turned off and I had to eat the sandwich cold which I'm usually not fond of. I got a chopped honey Turkey, provolone & lettuce sandwich with pepper, oil & vinegar for about $11. Probably wouldn't come back here read more

Isa and Sadm are so nice and the sandwiches are amazing and at fair prices for Manhattan. The chopped sandwich is al such a cool concept!

This makes me think of all the happy thoughts from my child hood. This place is just a deli, but for me and my people it is THE deli. The bread is fresh and the sandwich hits every time. I would say if you are anywhere near the Brooklyn Bridge , Manhattan bridge are, if you are any place in Brooklyn, go pass here and wait in line, you won't be disappointed ! read more

Been meaning to try this place and def worth the wait despite the long line (~15-20mins wait) when arriving. From the outside, it looks like any regular deli. They have a wide range of chips, drinks, cookies, candies and cereal. Keep in mind that this deli does not serve ham or any pork cold cuts iten. Only chicken, turkey and tuna. This spot is also open 24hrs so it's great for late night bites. I ordered 2 chopped sandwiches; a honey turkey, small tuna, pepper jack cheese, banana peppers, lettuce and tomatoes on a roll with honey mustard, and mayo (pictured). The 2nd; bbq chicken, American cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on a hero with mayo (forgot to take a pic). I wanted the roll sandwich in a wrap but they were out of wraps that night. The sandwich is different from your usual deli sandwich, having it chopped was so good! Next time I'm gonna try to get the chopped sandwich in a wrap or maybe I'll bring my own wrap to have them make it on that wrap. Service is great, they're patient and are serious with making sandwiches to ensure they don't make a mistake in your order. I highly recommend trying a chopped sandwich from this spot at least once they you'll understand what they have a long line at this deli. Def coming back again next time! read more
