    a variety of pastries on display

    I imagine this is a deli with an "off season" being so out of the way and I figure I just experienced it; if I lived in this neighborhood though, I reckon I'd be here on the regular for the sheer convenience. I like the small town deli feel for sure. The staff is friendly,l and the sands which was good. The chicken cutlet could have been fresher but I'm not complaining. I just can't wait until I can grab some more from them when I drop my kayak in down the road this upcoming season!

    Words can't explain this deli, gee I don't even know where to start. I've tried numerous times to give this place the benefit of the doubt because it is secluded in a great little town in great river. Well today on the Fourth of July decided to order the very basic sausage and Swiss on an everything bagel. Now mind you when we called and requested that sandwich, the response was like as if you asked for something from Mars. The response was umm what kind of sausage... as if there were a selection of sausages here lol!! Our response was yeah the frozen ones you have and it was like oh umm ok yeah...but in any event here's the lovely sandwich people. I mean when there making their food my god don't they look at it and say to themselves, would I eat this thing!! I mean take a look at the amount of Swiss cheese on this thing!!So here you go folks I'll let you decide for yourselves!

We walked in said 'good morning' to the two men (prob in their 40s) behind the counter, closest to the door - crickets. Then we were looking in the deli case discussing what we might like to order - we were the only customers there and the 'gentlemen' said what do you want..we replied just deciding.. then my GF ordered a sandwich and when he started to make it, we continued discussing amongst ourselves what looked good and what salads etc we would get to take on the boat - he stops making the sandwich and says what else are you going to get, I tell him 1/2 pd this, 1/2 pd of that, pd of the this, some cold cuts and another sandwich etc.. he then says 'forget it I'll just finish this sandwich first' - lol, ok, we didn't ask you to stop. We then order all of the other items and I said do we also order breakfast sandwiches and coffee here with you or at the other counter - he admonished me 'you should have done that first' - well so sorry we didn't know there were ordering rules.. the deli counter is right by the front door and cashiers in the back so it just made sense while it was empty to order our deli things first.. just overall not a pleasant experience - we spent over $100 on food and drinks with them. Place is clean and food was fine, just didn't feel very welcome.

I bought 4 sandwiches headed down to the boat, requested each half be wrapped separate, nothing crazy but 4 different types of sandwiches. Everything was great, enough food without being impossible to eat, especially without making a mess on the boat. The guy helping me wrapped everything as requested which I understand may be a PITA but I promise it's the best move for packing a cooler. The other employees were all super friendly and polite to everyone in and out of the deli while I was there. The place looks very clean and there's a great menu on the wall if you can't come up with your own sandwich. Definitely a 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 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.

I live a few streets over and I've never been happier to have such a quality deli this close. I have had breakfast and lunch multiple times from here. I have had egg white wraps, breakfast burritos & french toast for breakfast. I have also had a couple different sandwiches for lunch (El Guapo is so good, it's a must have), along with their iced coffee. Everything I have had has been 5 stars. The quality and portions of food is amazing. They have a very nice store, with a handful of tables to dine in. There are "to go" sandwiches freshly made that come with a bag of chips. Super convenient if you are in a rush and don't have the few extra minutes to wait for them to make a sandwich. Service is fast, and the staff as well as the owner are super friendly. I have had a couple of nice convos with the owner, you can tell how much he cares about his store. Go check it out!
