Good Deli sandwiches here too. I was impressed with the big menu choices. I love the Turkey sandwiches with everything on it. Love the service, and the food. Id come back for more. read more

Good deli this spot has been up on hillside Ave for decades. I have stop in there numerous times over the years for soda's and snacks etc. I even brought a pair of head phones from this deli.I have to admit I never tried there sandwiches or hot food. But I will give yall a update review on the food.I also use to take the F train local that's literally right out side of the deli. The subway is attached to the deli ,cool for any one coming home from work or going to work via the F train . you can get some breakfast ,lunch or dinner right in side this deli.Thats one of the reasons this deli separates its self from other dell's besides the food. A little trivia don't forget Donald Trump former president, us to live across the street in Jamaica estates. read more

Excellent spot to get food. Great drink selection, fairly priced and filling. Saw some expired snacks and such in the store (by a week or so) but I loved what I had. Definitely would have purchased some Drake's funny bones if it wasn't a week past their sell by date. read more

Hillside Deli Snack Bar - Money Haze - Delis Near Me - Jamaica, New York

This. This is no ordinary deli. It's the greatest little gem that I ever came across. Great for drunken nights, study nights, every night. Maybe day time too. Philly cheese steak. Chicken parm. This surpasses Cherry Valley. Oh yes that's right. I said it. They take just as long to make the sandwiches. But the difference is, you can get a whole hero for 4 bucks. No, you don't get onion rings inside your sandwich. But at least here you will take less risks with your health. read more

We stopped in Sunday night in a drunken stupor. The good kind! Chopped cheese for everyone across the board. I should've left the review yesterday. Some things taste better drunk. I've never been here or had their chopped cheese, but I'm sure I could eat it sober and it would still be banging. Even at 1am the bread was fresh, which is no small feat for corner store. This sandwich totally hit the spot. I was with two girls and it was their first chopped cheese ever. I think I made the right call because they both loved theirs. I just read all the reviews and if I'm in the area I'll be trying out some different sandwiches (and a chopped cheese again also.) I would certainly recommend this place. Go get a few sandwiches and ENJOY!!! read more

Good deli!! Good sandwiches and chicken over rice nice people behind the counter check em up

This nondescript little deli located by the always bustling 179th Street train station at Hillside Avenue churns out solid sandwiches at a great price. At first glance, one may not think to step in for a (hearty) bite to eat but try them out and you just may find yourself back soon. They have a board full of their favorites but they can just as easily whip up anything else you may be in the mood for. We picked up 5 sandwiches for our - all ranging in heft, taste, and contents - and all of us seemed content. I had the Woodchopper which featured corned beef and pastrami and was left full and pleased. Looking forward to trying out other offerings in the not-too-distant future. Beware that parking isn't always the easiest so grab the 1st spot you get within a block or two and hoof it over. If you park and take the F train from this station, this is not a foreign concept to you. Also, if you're in a rush, factor in the parking time plus the fact that they take a little extra time to make the sandwiches correctly. They don't just throw things together in the interest of savings 30 seconds...and I'm totally fine with that! read more

Oh my God, Hillside Deli Snack Bar is certainly rather darn cool. The location is unbeatable. Our order came out quickly. I really liked the service as well, they are very friendly and attentive. I just wish I lived closer so I could be a regular at Hillside Deli Snack Bar. read more

Fact: In the Fresh Meadows area, all delis either suck or are too expensive. Or both (too often). In other cases, they're not open late enough, so a late night sandwich run is out of the question. BUT, I suppose these are the sacrifices we make to continue living in a quiet single-family house neighborhood that's easy to find street parking in. For now, I will take that sacrifice to travel the 1.5 miles to the Hillside Deli Snack Bar (a name I never call it; I simply know it as the 179th St station corner deli). Now onto my review. My standard sandwich is simple: A cold roast beef and cheddar on a hero with mayo & LT. The Snack Bar makes their own roast beef, going through a few roasts a day. It's a very good roast, with nice flavors and texture. It's not the best roast beef in Queens (best I've had was at the Butcher Block in Sunnyside), but it is exceptional value for the price. You get 1/3 pound (yes, they weigh it) on your hero. No dried out, over-salted generic Boars Head roast beef here, folks. (Not to say all pre-made roast beef is mediocre. The Goose deli in Bethlehem PA uses a very nice roast beef made by Dietz & Watson.) Their Hero bread is nice and soft, with just the right amount of chewiness. I'd love to know where they get their bread from. Along with a nice hard cheddar and LT, you get all that made quickly in a nice tightly packaged hero for the un-princely sum of $6. To me, this represents the best one-meal sandwich deal in Queens. (This excludes the monster sizes heroes that you can get at some other delis which take two meals to finish) Other sandwiches that I've had: - The Reuben is OK - great price (less than $6), but the bread is toasted too hard and the overall flavors run a bit salty. - They make a nice egg and cheese sandwich. - The various Cheese steak sandwiches are good, but I'm partial to my standard roast beef sandwich. That said, this seems to be their most popular sandwich at less than $6. In all, the deli hits all the right notes for me where the Fresh Meadows deli fail. - I've never had a sandwich from any of the Union Tpke delis (between 188th and Utopia) because they all stop making sandwiches around late afternoon. - Double J, which seems to be a go-to spot for SJU students, has tons of sandwich choices and is open late at night. But their pricing is not transparent, and they charge too much (over $7 +TAX!) for what's ultimately mediocre sandwich. They also have an angry glowering Korean cashier/owner taking your money. - Ditto for Fresh Meadows Natural, but with more transparent pricing and without a glowering Korean cashier. - See my review for the Fu Long deli. Ugh. Only get an egg and cheese sandwich here if you must. Overall, it's not ideal, yet I'll gladly make the 1.5 mile trek to get my favorite sandwich. read more

Chop cheese never fails, drive out your way every time for this one sandwich. Always friendly and welcoming no matter what time of day. I recommend calling and pre-order so you can pick up with ease! See you soon! read more

Commonly known by the locals as "The Spot", this particular deli is well-known in the area for it's deli sandwiches. The sandwiches here are extremely delicious in terms of flavor and the sandwiches are wrapped neatly. For the prices of the sandwiches here, this is as good as it gets. There are no frills, or misconceptions. You get what you order and you will enjoy it almost every time. The Philly Cheese Steak with Egg and the Ruben Sandwich prepared here are amongst the best I have ever tasted. Open all day and all night long, this is THE SPOT where you can satisfy all of your cravings night and day. read more

As a previous review noted this is the neighborhood spot for late night munchies. On numerous occasions I've stumbled in after a night of drunken antics to grab a sandwhich. Which is what seperates this deli from the others, their sandwhiches are always on point. I get the New Yorker extra pastrami, the Phillies are good. I mean they're not like the best deli sandwich you can get. But you can't beat a hot pastrami sandwich with melty cheese at 3 o clock in the morning, all the while battling a mean hangover. Five stars! read more

My review for this place is ridiculously overdue. This has been my go-to spot since I stumbled in back in 1999. The hero sandwiches are cheap ($5 - $7), generous portions of meat, fresher than any fast food joints, and open 24/7. This place also makes chopped cheese sandwiches, which for some reason is almost impossible to find. Major cool points from me! Even though they have a sandwich menu, they have more options outside of their menu. If you're drunk, hungry, and on a budget, this is your spot. Another added perk about this deli? It's hipster free! read more

The locals refer to this place as, "The Spot" or "179 Deli." This deli is a regular deli, but with amazing sandwiches for an even more amazing price. You'll spend aobut $5-$7 on any given sandwich. Some of my favorite nights ended with a hero from here. Please believe the hype. The only thing Cherry Valley and Christina's has on this place is that they put gravy on their sandwiches, but that isn't that big a difference to me. Some of my go-to sandwiches are the Chicken Philly which is basically a Philly cheesesteak, but with chicken instead of steak. You can also get an old fashioned cheesesteak and hey if you're feeling up for it, get it with eggs. The Woodchopper is probably the most popular with pastrami, corned beef on a hero. My favorite is the Cuban, which has salty ham, cheese, pickles (I love pickles so I ask for extra), and then is put in a press to make the bread flat and crunchy. It's a religious experience trying any of their sandwiches for the first time. Don't expect to eat there since there isn't any indoor seating. If you're a girl and going late at night I would have some protection with you as the Spot attracts some of the creepiest people in Jamaica. It doesn't bother me, but I would imagine I would be uncomfortable if I was a female. If I were to judge the place on food alone I would give it a 5, but I'm really picky at who I throws 5's to so I'm giving this deli a 4/5 overall. It might come off as strange, but the appearance from the outside is a major turnoff for me. They basically have their whole menu covering the exterior. With such a high demand for their sandwiches, you would think they would have less emphasis on other stuff in there. I think they should get rid of most of the grocery stuff in there and focus more on their deli menu and have a more open space for waiting. However, at the end of the day, I just want my Cuban sandwich with extra pickles please. Pro tip: Call and make your order ahead to save you some time. You won't be able to understand a word the dude says though. read more

Good sandwiches every time...cheap prices...whenever i pass the 188 street exit on grand central pkwy i think of this place. The neighborhood isn't the safest place especially late night but worth the trip out. Been hitting this place up for sandwiches for a long time now and there still selling them just as good! read more

Hillside Deli Snack Bar - Delis Near Me - Jamaica, New York

See all

I would recommend the Philly cheesesteak w/a ginger ale. That's my favorite. The only thing is parking is not to convenient. But the sandwich is well worth the double parking. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! The sandwiches are the delicious! They are better known for the PhillyCheeseSteak! It hits the spots. Overall I go there for the sandwiches, also the the pastrami sandwich is amazing must try it, well done with pepper jack cheese honey mustard jalapeño lettuce mhhhh mhhh mhhh! Def recommend this place to whom ever is ready to munch out or even to whom is looking for something light not too heavy! read more

Meh...don't know why it's got all 5 star reviews. Ordered a Philly Cheesesteak with jalapeños and just got a regular one. Waited 10-15 minutes for a rather large sandwich that had more lettuce than beef. The sandwich itself was average at best, but what annoyed me was 3 or 4 people who ordered after me, got their sandwiches first and they all needed to go on the griddle as well. When I confronted the (who I assume to be) owner, he came up with some bs that I ordered something with beef in it and that's why it takes longer. Suffice to say, I probably won't be going back. read more

Duuuuude even though this can be pretty far out of the way for me and my friends their Philly cheesesteaks are AMAZING! Always so good for the drunk munchies or even a regular meal. They come in pretty big sizes but i just share or save my other half, or I'm really hungry I can finish the whole thing! You wouldn't think they're so good from the outside but man it's a hidden gem. read more

Amazing sandwiches at this deli. Looks unassuming from outside, I was introduced by my cousin who lives nearby who gets food regularly here. The cheesesteak is delicious and huge. Service is quick and it's very cheap. Not sure about opening times but they always seem to be open! If you somehow end up at the end of the F train - check them out! read more

Best Deli ever, chicken Philly is the bomb!

Official after hours sandwich spot! All the sandwiches are great but my go to is always the deli special.

What can I say I've lived near this deli for over a year and let's just say it's been one wasted year not knowing these cheap and delicious sandwiches were at my sober fingertips. Both the chicken club hero and chicken gyro on pita were the best I've ever had, and all that plus a Snapple and bag of pretzels was $11. Open 24/7 so my drunken fingertips can be happy too. read more

Can't go wrong with the place! The Cubans, Phillies and everything in between ... I don't think I've had anything bad from here. Great late-night spot they're just always busy If you can call ahead, it'll save you a lot of time! read more

By far the best sandwiches you can get in queens. Chicken Philly is the most popular. I love the chicken cutlet and grilled chicken. So tasty and it just hits the spot. read more

If your hungry and in need of good food for a cheap price this is the Spot! I have been going to this deli for more than I can remember. Mostly favored by the locals, MTA, police, and of course the hungry peeps after 4am when all the bars close. Open 24/7 makes it even better, I have woken up in the middle of the night hungry and just walk there and get a hero. Philly, Chicken Philly, & the Cuban are my favorite. read more

I've been coming here for well over 10 years, and from near (queens) and far (long island) For lunch, dinner, late dinner, midnight snacks, early breakfasr, and breakfast. They have some of the best sandwhiches. I started with the philly cheesesteaks, went on to chicken clubs, grilled chicken sandwhiches and I literally have tried different versiosn - that everything is so good here. You cant go wrong! read more

Their sandwich is the bomb! The Dagwood and Philly cheese are ridiculous!

Chicken Philly with Jalapeños everythjng no tomatoes...thats my order. Always call ahead. They take pride in cooking and I take pride in eating. Their chicken cutlet is also banging. Reuben is yum and they can custom make anything. For example...I get jalapenos and a fried egg on top of everything. Love the night crew. Fav sandwich spot. Also very well priced. If you're ever in the area. Give em a try read more

If you are coming home from a long night of drinking at a bar or club, you must come here for a sandwich. The Chicken Philly and Cuban are top of the line. However, I suggest asking for the Poncho Special with everything on it. It is spicy, however, this is the perfect meal to put an ending to a great night. read more

You want a "chopped cheese"(or "chop cheese" or "chopped cheeseburger"), this is your place. I've only had about two or three other sandwiches so far since I've found this spot, and so far everything has been delicious, and priced VERY reasonably. There aren't many places like this in Queens, so I actually travel from about 15-20 minutes away(longer even depending on traffic). One time I was waiting for an order, and the owner came over and chatted me up. Very friendly guy. I'll definitely keep returning. read more

Best Sandwiches! Ask for Papi....get Honey Turkey and Swiss or Mozzarella...lettuce mayo salt pepper oil and vinegar...you'll die!!!! Make sure you get it hot. You can even call them before hand and then go and pick it up. read more

This place is on a main drag in Jamaica Queens, tough to find parking, but do your best. They have a nice menu with Boars Head meats. The place is very tight, they are NY friendly (which, is up front and just like to know what you want), and the food is extremely reasonable for NYC. Try something from the grill, you will be pleased. read more
