Great neighborhood deli 4.5 STARS…read more Found this neighborhood gem while visiting Brooklyn and was impressed enough to come back twice. I ordered an egg, ham, and cheese on a roll along with a freshly made smoothie, and both were outstanding. The sandwich was hot, fresh, and exactly what you want for a classic deli breakfast sandwich. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I returned on our last day and grabbed another sandwich to take on the plane home. Friendly service, quality ingredients, and great execution. If you're in the area, Smith Gourmet Deli is definitely worth a stop.

Simple, balanced, and exactly what you want when you're craving the real thing. The shop itself is tiny but spotless, the kind of place that feels efficient in the best way. You step in, order, and within moments the magic happens behind the counter. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was impressively quick without feeling rushed.

My favorite deli for BECs with hash brown inside and sandwiches on rolls!…read more The BECs always have so much cheese inside them and the amount of turkey in the sandwiches is so satisfying. They also give a large amount of crispy fries!

3.5 stars I came to…read moreFarmer 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.

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.

If that's not the most Brooklyn thing ever, I don't know what is. Same sandwiches, different blessing. Everybody says order the pastrami, so I listened like a grown man should. Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard absolutely slapped. Smoky, juicy, perfectly stacked, and messy enough to ruin your shirt with honor. Then came the beef brisket on rye with a cup of au jus for dipping... and brother, that dip should be studied by scientists. Pure perfection. Washed everything down with a Dr. Brown's root beer like it was 1957. No fake trendy nonsense. No deconstructed sandwiches. Just old-school deli greatness that punches you directly in the soul. Great food doesn't care where you come from -- it just brings everybody to the same table. That's New York. That's Brooklyn.

Chicken. Cutlet. Sandwich. If you want one you have to stop in to Defonte's. Make sure to have cash…read moreon hand because they do not accept cards, and if you're smart, you'll grab yourself some rainbow cookies before you check out. One long line for ordering but it moves quickly because they have a lot of staff. You order from your person and stay with them the whole time. They ring you up. Everything is fresh and so so good. No seating inside, but they have some tables on the side when you exit the building.

A little disappointed with my experience here…read more I ordered a hot roast beef with gravy and got a cold roast beef sandwich even after confirming with the lady at the register twice. My girlfriend has a sesame allergy so we asked for a roll with no seeds. They had no plain rolls but had a wheat roll. For some reason, the lady just decided to remove the seeds from the seeded roll and serve that. Those seeded rolls have seeds deep in the bread so we found tons of seeds in the bread still and couldn't eat them. Just feels very careless and these sandwiches ain't cheap. That said, the food was good, but how do you completely mess up the entire order like that?

Also, their lottery machine either never works--or the person who is attending the machine literally does not know how to use it.

Worth the trek from the city…read more Absolutely phenomenal sandwiches. The roast beef sandwich was the standout--thinly sliced, incredibly tender roast beef layered with sweet caramelized onions and gooey melted cheese, all brought together with a deep, rich beef gravy that was perfect for dipping. The Godfather, their Italian cold cut sandwich, was also a hit--bold, flavorful, and expertly balanced. Both were served on an Italian seeded hero that was impressively fresh and perfectly toasted, giving just the right crunch. To top it off, the owner personally came out to check on us and thank us for our patronage. It's rare to see that kind of hospitality these days. He also let us sample their buffalo shrimp was more of a sweet and sour style fried shrimp/prawn. Delicious An amazing local spot that clearly takes pride in both their food and their service. Highly recommend.

I know a lot of people love the provolone Phily, but I've always been a fan of whiz ever since I had it in Philadelphia! Bread was on point, meat well seasoned and the cheese hit the spot.

Other than that, I got the chopped sandwich. Turkey, onions, lettuce, provolone cheese, salt and pepper. The sandwich was good, but was slightly missing a flavor element. The chopped sandwich gave the consistency of tuna. The sandwich is messy so you def need to be sitting somewhere with a plate for the inside to spill out so u can eat that part as well. The location is inside a bodega, no tables, simple place. The guys making the sandwich are friendly. There's not really anything special about this sandwich, but having it chopped is a different flavor experience.
