I promise the picture does not do this place justice lol!! Soooo many food options. Everything looked fresh! First time here so I wanted to try a little of everything. And when I say everything was delicious, everything. Way too many dishes to name - I promise you'll be able to find something you're in the mood for. And the fresh juices is the cherry on top! They also have a huge section for desserts of course! Also just want to add that I loved how they have the disposable gloves upon entrance! Great way to minimize the spread of germs. read more

Gourmet Express - Buffet style - Delis Near Me - Pelham, New York

Im still exploring all my options through this place as the selection is extensive. My first impression walking in was that the cold bar looked great. Everything was fresh and looked appetizing. There is a station right when you enter with gloves for you to wear while you use the utensils to select your pickings from the hot and cold bar. The cold food was great, I really enjoyed the fresh mozzarella and the guacamole. The hot food was a bit overwhelming with all the different options. The chili was good. The fresh sautéed spinach was also very good. The meat options felt lack luster. They were mostly overcooked and didnt do anything for me. The sauces on the proteins were all tasty-- I'd prefer the vegetables and simple proteins which you can definitely find. You can find almost anything in this place! I am really interested in ordering a custom sandwich or flatbread at one of the counters I saw. Checking out, I thought it was alittle expensive for what I got BUT I think you can make it cheaper once you become experienced in knowing what you like/want. Im looking forward to changing my stars at a later visit but for now this is what I rate them. read more

I have been going here for over 10 years! Food always fresh, cooked all day long. Tasty, and they have fresh squeezed juices too. Don't forget the desserts. They got a gourmet baker in the house! Great music too. Awesome place anytime of the year. Their soups are to die for..........amazing! read more

Great buffet style eatery with almost anything you can ask for . So many different things to choose from. Vegetables, meats, salads, sandwiches, soups, smoothies and juices and much more. Service was friendly. Food was fresh and tasty. Kinda pricey read more

This place has to be one of my favorites to frequent. They have a fantastic selection of cold foods and antipasti, and their hot foods are great. The highlights of coming here, however, are their juices and sandwiches. Their options for sandwiches are good, but the real gold is the customization: whatever you can think of putting on your sandwich, you can (as long as they have it there, of course), which is perfect for someone that loves to combine specific flavors into their meal, like myself. The juices are all freshly made at their station-a bit pricey per bottle, but well worth it when you give them a taste. Their service is quick and helpful, and very accommodating to most things you'll want from here. All in all, the best way to put it is this: even as I write this review, I'm already thinking about going back! read more

Nice salad buffet but its kept too cold, and so every thing tastes the same. Still there's a good variety. This place is pricey though, you could get a tastier salad for less at Chopt or Sweetgreen. Happy Yelping! read more

First off, be warned, this place is expensive. Almost everything is by the pound and it's not cheap. For $35 I was able to get a chopped salad, a small soup, a green juice, and a very moderate serving of food (filled me and I have a very small appetite). With the said. The food is delicious. So much variety that you will have trouble choosing what to get..... and that's how they get you. The containers they provide are only the large circle ones. This just screams and begs for you to fill it. Which remember, you pay by the pound. The fish soup.... Amazing. The ginger carrot butternut squash soup.... Also top notch. The salad bar, fully stocked. All the toppings you can think of and dressing to boot. Also a juice bar. They have lots of juices already made but you can get something fresh as well. Oh and major points, they have so many vegetables and vegan options, so no one is left out. They also have a deli and desserts, but I've never tried either so I cannot speak on them. The place is clean and the workers helpful. There's only a small indoor seating area so it can fill up. There's a few tables outside too. Oh and parking. Hahaha. It's not easy to find. read more

Just as everyone has touched upon, it's a veritable buffet of everything you could think of. Salad bar for kings and queens. Hot buffet filled with fried everything. Assorted hot meats, pork -chicken- fish beef etc. Juice bar. Hot soups. Cold salad bar with every imaginable topping. Price seems fair and okay for what you get. And if you are thinking you need variety, we'll you've come to the right place. One size metallic plates with plastic tops for carry out. Haven't tried the juice bar but it seems legit. Try it. read more

I can't believe I've driven by this awesome buffet style food paradise for years without stopping. Smh. The amount of fresh prepared food is impressive! Chances are they'll satisfy whatever you're in the mood for. The selection is vast! Hot, fresh and delicious! You'll want to try everything but be easy, its by the pound and it adds up quickly. The jerk chicken/fish is better than some spots in the Bronx! Great heat! I really like the cabbage slaws and vegetables medleys. They are seasoned perfectly with great chew. My average plate is around $20 and I try and get a few new things to taste. I have yet to find something I didn't like. I've even been here for breakfast and it did not disappoint. This place is awesome, the workers are friendly and the place is super clean! 5 noms! read more

Gourmet Express - Chicken/White Rice/Cabbage..and a ROACH! - Delis Near Me - Pelham, New York

I stop by here often for breakfast or when they have corned beef and cabbage, it's so good! They also have a really good salad bar ( love the chicken salad). You can also have a salad made, sort of a create your own. I hear that the soup is also really good, there was a line for it this morning. Oh, let me not forget the sandwiches, yep they do that too. I've only had the premade ones which are good but you can also have them make your sandwich to your liking. The one thing I must tell you is the price for the food is by weight so go easy or else :-) read more

This place got best food in New York City ,, I moved to Florida this is one of the things I miss the most

The BESTTTT buffet style takeout/dine in spot I've been too honestly. They have so many options of meats,fish,salads, veggies etc and most of the options are super healthy. Their natural juices and smoothies are amazing. So far I've tried the spicy lemonade which is good for the respiratory system, the protein almond smoothie and the strawberry mint lemonade & they did not disappoint.The prices are a a little bit on the high side but I don't mind spending for good quality food. I Will be coming back here for sure not once but multiple times. read more

Soup is very good too! -@AyoNish! #DTOD read more

This place is a winner, always good from the food service and ambiance. Great variety of different types of food everyday. I am never disappointed when I come here, I try to pick something different each visit. The parking and dine-in is great and available and always clean a comfortable atmosphere. read more

The food is very good. Alot of great selections but frankly the buffet is way too overpriced. It would have been a go to spot where I would grab food on days I don't want to cook but I likely wouldn't go back very often if any at all. I feel the weighted buffet is twice the price of Flaming Grill's(maybe slightly more). I hate when bad business ruins what could be a great thing read more

Love, Love, Love this place!! An impressive variety of fresh homemade hot and cold salad bar food. Caribbean, Latin, Italian, Southern you name it they have it. Vegetarian, vegan, Sandwich and salad station. Juice bar. Olive bar. Italian cheese and meats. All under one roof! I lived in the Bronx and worked in Connecticut and would pick up lunch the night before and breakfast on way to work. Yeah, that good. I love variety and they fit the bill. I recently moved to Charlotte and this is my first stop off the road when visiting home. Keep in mind that all food goes by weight so be careful. All the tempting food can cost you! read more

Healthy, fresh food. Great salad bar, really want to come back and check out the juice bar. Lots of choices, plenty for everyone to choose from. Salad, fruit, veggies. Yum! We will definitely be back. read more

This place is the best! Huge selection on everything from foods like baked and fried fish to brisket to select it yourself salad area, to high-end sandwich deli section, smoothie and coffee bar and bakery. Virtually whatever you desire you can have. AND...everything is done really well and taste excellent. Most food is sold by the pound, you eat out of those tin to-go containers and there's not a ton of seating, but you're going there for the food and selection, not the ambiance. I ate a garbanzo bean salad and a corn salad from the cold food section. I also got some cooked collard greens and carrots from the hot veggie section, and rounded that out with a few different proteins from the hot section, including pork sausage in red sauce, some fried and grilled fish, and some pernil. All delish. THEN, I had a tres leches cake for dessert--so good! Go and you'll surely be back for more! read more

So if you ever wondered where to eat healthy and have plenty of choices this is the place. They have a great selection of plant base foods and hot plate dishes. The prices aren't cheap so be prepared to pay 8 to 15 dollars for a salad. They also have a great deli and a juice bar. They have seating but parking can be a bit tricky. Overall the food is good and fresh. I recommend this place to anyone looking for great fresh food. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend. I am always sceptical when it comes to buffet style food but so many people I know have frequented the restaurant I had to give it a try. I am the type of person to take very small amount no more that 2 bites so I can determine if I like the flavor or not. I tried about 5 options and was shocked when I was told at register my food was $51 with my drink. I asked the cashier why she said it's not recommended to put gravy or salad dressing on food. Lesson learned. Food was average definitely not worth the price but it was fine. read more

Gourmet Express - Entrance to buffet - Delis Near Me - Pelham, New York

Oh My God! This is my favorite place to stop by and spend nothing less than $50 bucks I buy all my tastebuds desires. I return home with the best food money can buy and do my separations and freeze some stuff. I do this so I can have delicious food when I feel hungry. It's really convenient for me for the variety they prepare everyday except Sundays. But that is ok because I have a lot stored that last me for a week. Stop by this great food outlet and grab yourself some great food ! And don't forget your juices on your way out. PS Ask for your free treat And you're hooked like all of us who frequently stop for delicious fish and salads too. read more

Food is delicious with many healthy options salads , juices , and hot food . Always crowed !

Usually I'm not too fond of buffet style restaurants but Gourmet Express has exceeded my expectations. Their food is FRESH & there are several food options to accommodate everyone's dietary preference & restrictions. If you're a fish lover, their jerk sea-bass is to die for! It's spicy but it's good. read more

This is my favorite place to eat near me. Lots of options. Fresh food always. Never disappointed. Amazing fish, amazing chicken, and just overwhelmingly delicious options. Lots of Jamaican style dishes. You can dine in or take it to go. You won't be disappointed. Best time to go is lunch time or dinner time. Food will be super hot. It's not like ordinary buffets for sure! I send all my friends and family here read more

I've always loved grabbing a bite from Gourmet Express. I'm surprised that I've never written a review for them. This would be our go-to for breakfast sandwiches before a long drive. They have some really good wraps and you get to add whatever you'd like because they're made fresh to order. The size has gotten a little smaller than I remember but they still taste great and I can nerve eat a whole one anyway. They have nice salads as well. You pick the leaf and your own choice of add-ins including egg, cheeses, veggies, proteins, etc. Their pizzas are good. They'll heat up slices for you with extra cheese so it's extra gooey. Now they have cold brew coffee now which is modestly priced compared to other places. They have a well-stocked salad bar with everything you need to make a salad as well as chicken salads, pastas salads, egg salads and any accoutrements to bring out that flavour. Their desserts are really good, too. You can tell they're made fresh and don't stay on the shelves for long. They also have a hot food bar with chicken, fish, veggies and some great sides. They are so busy all day with people stopping by for breakfast, during lunch breaks and for dinner before heading home, that the food turnover ensures you a fresh meal any time you come in. I've only recently tried their juice bar and had mixed experiences. I've noticed that a lot of the time they don't have some of the ingredients for their juices but allow you to supplement the items with other you may prefer. I always add in wheat grass shots and chia and for the most part, they've tasted good. I'm not too keen on the wait for a juice but I'm patient and usually satisfied. This is the only reason I've docked them a start. They need to work on the efficiency of the juice bar area, make sure it's well stocked and ensure that the fruits and veggies that are going bad are disposed of (I found a bunch of moldy fruit on my last visit and pointed it out to the staff). They have plenty of space to eat and enjoy your food with a few outdoor tables available for fair weather days. I would have to say that even with the addition of Fairway Market across the street, Gourmet Express is a better option because their food is much fresher, tastes better and supports small business. Come eat here. read more

I went to Gourmet express in June of 2023 for my Pre-k class graduation. A colleague of mine suggested this place to eat together on our lunch break. it was fantastic! I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, and the selection. You can get a wide array of food to suit any pallet. The cold food was cold and the warm food was hot. I really enjoyed the rice, chicken and dessert ( Fudge chocolate cake.) They weigh the food so I would be cognizant of that before loading your plate with too much food I had a great time and the staff was very nice. read more

I'm in the Bronx for a residency program interview at the Jacobi and Montefiore Medical Center and was looking for a healthy place to eat. I came across Gourmet Express and decided to give it a try. I found parking easily on the side of the building next to the restaurant. I walked in and was confused at first how the restaurant worked. It's a buffet style take out or dine in. You grab a container and then put whatever you'd like to eat into the container. You pay by weight. They had a great selection for the salad bar, many healthy cooked vegetables, and lots of hot food with flavorful meats & rice. They also make fresh juices ready to drink! This would be my go-to spot if I worked at the medical center next year. read more

Gourmet Express - Delis Near Me - Pelham, New York

Normally the food is on point but I've had a few problems and have been told to bring it back but after 3 minor incidents they act as though their policy doesn't apply. I'm buying from this place at least 3 times a week. Their explanations Don even make sense! I will no longer recommend this place to people again. I will also warn people about their poor customer service. I hate establishments that are happy to take your money but when there is a problem all of a sudden they forget that you are a paying customer!! read more

Stopped in with a co-worker along our route and took a gander at what they had to offer. It was early yet so not all the food was put out for the lunch crowd. They had all the basic breakfast staples such scrambled eggs, omelette, hash browns, and sausages. They stock a few grocery items as well as pre packaged specialty foods. The set up of this place is so that each food group has its own sections. There's a deli section where they prepare sandwiches, a pizza area, and a mid sized buffet area. They even have a fresh juice area too! The bathroom is kept locked to ensure only paying customers use it. Don't expect a toilet seat cover either. Oh and don't be freaked out by the large mirror in front of the toilet, that's probably so they could secretly spay on you. Hehe. Beware of stockpiling your plate as this place goes by the pound and you'll find yourself spending $$$ on some basic stuff. All in all its ok as its your only option in the area. Try it out I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

I had to come on Yelp just to write this review. This place is AMAZING. As a plant based eater, there are SO MANY OPTIONS! And not just your boring vegan food, I mean REAL TASTY, SEASONED food.

I was getting so tired or chipotle! I will never buy food to go from anywhere else. Love this place, I come here everyday! read more

Gourmet Express - A variety for for a King! - Delis Near Me - Pelham, New York

I really want to like Gourmet Express. The people are very nice and it's a Pelham institution dating back to its days at 4 corners more than thirty years ago. That said, incorporating the word "Express" into the name is laughable. The line at the main deli counter is agonizingly slow. If it takes 15 minutes for the four people in front of you to get their sandwiches, the true cost of yours is $8.50 plus fifteen minutes out of your life, which is a lot for a simple sandwich, especially if you can't get what you want. Today I asked for a smoked mozzarella, artichoke heart, sun-dried tomato and arugula sandwich. No smoked mozz, no artichoke hearts. For desert, I was looking forward to rice pudding. Not in stock. What's going on there? read more
