The Bindy special was created by a very hungry 16 year old who had a massive case of the munchies. The sandwich which was already being made but called a "chicken cutlet sandwich" at the time had the classic russian dressing but lacked the bacon. I used to add the bacon. My friends and I frequently bought sandwiches, drinks, and dutchmasters late at night. So the manager at the time was very friendly with us. There were other sandwiches like an "Ed Special" and so on.. The name Bindy derives from my last name which sounds like bindy. So when i walked in the store they used to shout bindyyyyy. One night they were redoing the signs with the names of the sandwiches and fate have you we were there. So the manager asked if i wanted to name a sandwich and we agreed on Bindy Special. I always wanted lettuce on that sandwich. It was meant to have lettuce but i forgot to tell him when he was writing the sign which was just written on a paper plate and scotch taped to the deli glass at the time. So folks as the late Paul Harvey would say....now you know the rest of the story. Enjoy the sandwhich! I am Bindy. read more

Ordered a chicken sandwich to go. Small sandwich priced around $10. They didn't have cucumbers or peppers to make a salad, so I ended up going to another deli to pick one. read more

Good sandwiches, good service, and open 24hr. The bindi is a Long Island staple can't go wrong.

Death of the bindy. Was craving one now it's just microwaved precut chicken cutlets and Russian dressing served with no bacon or mozzarella. A once great sandwich is dead :( read more

I knew when they weighed the chicken cutlets there would be a problem. Only one cutlet thickness does not compare to any hero shops in Brooklyn or the Bronx read more

Open late the bindi hits the spot! Fast service lots of snacks to choose from! Delicious breakfast sandwiches!

I actually knew Crazy Mike who the sandwich is named after. Legendary you guys still have it up. Respect.

Too many gimmicks over here. After a certain time cash only? Grill off until 6pm? Come on are you trying to make any money at all? Phone barely answered? Terrible. read more

Was excited to try out another sandwich shop that was open 24/7. After reading the reviews riding the Bindy, I drove over to try it out. Painfully average. If you're up at 3am and want bread and the flavor of Russian dressing, the Bindy is for you. Because that's basically the only texture and flavor this sandwich has. For just under $10, you get to taste Russian dressing. I had to open it up to see if there were any other ingredients. I mean, I guess there technically was a chicken "cutlet" and bacon. If you mean half a chicken breast tenderized until it's less than a centimeter tall. Hardly any breading. The amount of bacon added in a hero was about the same as you can expect from a White Castle slider. This place is only good if you're up at 3am, don't have a vehicle, and are under the influence. Save yourself the trouble and just drink Russian dressing. I would rate this place a 2.5/5 but since it's open 24/7, i'll round up. read more

Bindy with no fail wheather it's late at night or a lunch break will always be delicious. I always get it with garlic for the Extra touch of flavor and the Russian sauce ties all the flavors all together read more

Love this place! The bindi heros are the bomb. I usually get it with pepperoni and bacon. Great place to eat late night when everywhere is closed. You will not be disappointed! read more

Green Deli - a sub sandwich with meat and cheese - Delis Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

My go to midnight snack place now. Their bindy sammich is great! I took a star away because they weren't wearing masks during covid times. Scarfed down the sammich anyways. lol read more

They never answer their phone but when they do the bindi is a great late night sandwich! Never ordered anything else before though.

Come for the Bindy! Green Deli is your typical Long Island hole-in-the-wall Deli, but that's a good thing! While parking here is tight, the visit is worth the effort to find a spot, although I'd argue that you could find similar sandwiches at other great delis, with one exception of course being the Bindy! So what is this Bindy I keep referring to? It's chicken cutlets, melted mozzarella and crispy bacon served with Russian dressing on a roll or hero (for a definite difference in price, with the hero costing $2 more). While other delis have similar recipes, this place really gets it right. The sandwich is served warm with tender chicken, savory mozzarella, and crispy bacon (as promised). I've tried this sandwich on a number of occasions and have always been impressed, so much so that I visit this Deli strictly for that reason. Others who have ventured here have had similar praises about the other sandwiches this place has to offer. For instance, Joanna L. has been coming here since childhood and was the first to recommend we visit. I was glad she introduced me to this place, which has become my favorite south shore Deli. Prices here are reasonable as far as Deli standards go, with sandwiches costing an average between $5 and $10. I am also pleased whenever I see the "Boars Head" seal on any Deli, which this place serves. In addition to sandwiches, you'll find your standard assortment of beverages and snacks to pair with your roll or hero. Service here is also standard: efficient and friendly enough. A solid 4 stars in my book! read more

I'm not a local of the neighborhood but started working around the area doing overnight shifts. Being that I work overnights or anyone that does around here, It's hard to find places that are open 24 hours to find something to munch on. Like the few reviews listed here, you find this place by word of mouth. The first thing asked of is if you've had the bindy. When asked, I replied with, what's that? And then received the biggest "what!? Are you kidding!?" From there we went straight to get one. It's heaven wrapped up waiting to be eaten. ITS SOOO GOOD. Nothing more to say then get one. They have a bunch of other sandwiches/heros to choose from along with many other snack foods to grab. The staff is super friendly! Deff a hidden little gem. read more

Green Deli - The Bindy Special: Chicken cutlet, bacon, mozzarella, Russian dressing on a roll or hero, your choice. - Delis Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

If I could give this deli 0 zero stars I would. Customer service is horrible. I called to place an order and the person who answered was very rude and had me on hold for 20 minutes without saying anything. He calls me back 30 minutes later and asked if I was coming and I told him no he had me on hold for too long so I don't need it anymore. He starts yelling at me and hangs up. Why not apologize for having me on hold and ask me if I still would like to place my order. Very rude and unprofessional. read more

Sunday morning. 9am. Only 1 person working.-As in taking orders and cooking them up himself. Very time consuming wait since there were 4 other people. They didn't have any type of greens besides iceberg lettuce for a wrap I had wanted. The place however, is clean and the guy was very friendly. *Minimum 10$ on credit cards.* read more

The workers there do not wear masks and when asked to wear one they tell you to leave their store. They are extremely rude and nasty people. read more

The Bindy Spot has it's own reputation around town so it's not surprising why very few people would think to go to Yelp to find this place; some way or another you'll just happen to find this place in search of munchy foods. For those of you that haven't had one before, order a Bindy (chicken cutlet, bacon, mozzarella, Russian dressing) on a hero. Simple as that. FYI, Cash only. read more

Bindi Hero with extra dressing best late night post drinking stop. Heaven on a hero. Bacon, egg and cheese on a roll with the free coffee is my morning go to. Best sandwiches/Heros in town. read more

I blindly tried Green Deli and it is REALLY good. The sandwich I got was really good and the staff was super friendly. I will definitely be back sometime read more

First off, I can understand why no reviews as of yet. I can't see anyone Yelping Green Deli. It's a spot very well known through 'word of mouth'. It's honestly not even called Green Deli. They're very well known as the House of Bindi. Chick cutlet, mozzarella, bacon and Russian dressing! They also have a wide variety of sandwiches like the Bobby, the Yankee, etc. 24/7. You cant go wrong. Best munchie spot for years!!! read more

Green Deli - Bindi. Or a part of one. Sorry. I was hungry! - Delis Near Me - Lynbrook, New York

The bindy sandwich is the best. Definitely stop in here and try it if you're in the area.

Absolutely love this deli!!! This has been in Lynbrook for more than 15 years. It literally has everything from ranging flavors of different candies to great drinks. This deli is not halal for anyone who wants to know! My friends who don't have any restrictions tell me about how great the bindi sandwich is, and even though its called the Green Deli, the snapchat location is "the bindi spot" which is pretty cool. Definitely worth a go! read more

I've got to give this place five stars because it's been 10 years since I've had a bindy and stepped into the green deli. The store has changed alot and so have the people behind the counter but the Bindy was impressivly still the same! And the man woking behind the counter Charlie was very nice! And made a great sandwich. Glad something from my childhood hasn't changed too much!! read more

Home of the famous and iconic Bindy (chicken cutlet, bacon, mozzarella and Russian dressing either on a roll or hero - a definite must try once in your lifetime). You won't get a bindy of such high quality anywhere else. In my experience, when there are a high amount of customers at once, the service becomes​​ worse compared to when there are fewer​ people. read more

I'm a local and have been eating bindys for about 20 years now. So today, I see them making the chicken fresh, whilst nuking chicken cutlets for my sandwich. I was warned about this. When I asked for some fresh chicken, I was denied. Suffice to say I won't be visiting anymore. And the store is pretty dirty too. read more

I finally had to try the Bindi. It's really very good. Better than the typical deli sandwich. Other sandwiches have been good, too, in the past. Otherwise, it's a typical deli. read more
