As soon as we walked in the door, customers were telling us how good this place was...and they were not exaggerating one bit! Friendly staff, especially the girl working the counter, who raved about the deserts. I had a turkey sandwich (sub) and it was one of the best I've ever had. Fresh everything, perfect toast, and a dill pickle to boot. We were taken with the prices at first until we saw the size of the sandwiches. Worth every penny. Can't wait to go back! read more

Got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich this morning and it was so delicious that I called them to say it was the best I ever had in the city of Buffalo. Give them a try you will be glad you did. read more

Buffalo has a Jewish community that apparently is about 1/3 at it's peak from the 1950s.. back then delis existed primarily in the North Park area (esp Hertel Ave). The modern reality is that the community doesn't really have the numbers to support a community deli...but Jonny C came up from the NYC area and while it's more of a sub shoppe than a Jewish deli, the matzoh ball soup is really really really good (plenty of chicken and carrots). The turkey and Swiss on rye was ok...the bread was kind of the kids lunch variety rather than the baked sliced loaf most NY delis have...kind of skimpy sized sandwich for the price (turkey is not cooked in house), but they do it with proper spicy brown and Swiss. The Matzoh Ball soup is worth three stars alone. read more

If you are looking for a delicious sub, look no further than Johnny C's! Wow! So many different choices! The freshest rolls! Good quality ingredients! Great spot to come and sit down with friends, or to take out a quick good meal to go! I ordered the french dip. Loved the tender meat, the melted mozzarella and the toasted garlic roll! Warm Aus ju for dipping! I intended to save some for my lunch the next day, but just couldn't stop! Such a good sandwich! Would definitely be back when in the area! read more

My husband and I shared a lovely, well trimmed corned beef on rye sandwich. It comes with a slice of dill pickle; all sides are extra. I gave it a 4 vs. a 5 because it was generous, but not nearly as huge as corned beef sandwiches I have enjoyed at other delis. read more

$23 for a reuben sandwich and a drink? When it's this good, yes, totally worth it. Friendly service, fast and the best sandwiches around. Plentiful and perfectly made. read more

Their specialty subs are worth the money and maybe a trip past all the other sub places in the area. In colder weather their soups are perfect, homemade and comforting read more

Wow, this deli is special! I love a good deli. It was a bit overwhelming at the options, they have over 50 plus sandwhich choices, not to mention they have all day breakfast, wraps, desserts and more. So deciding what to get was difficult as everything sounded so good. But at end of the day it didn't matter because everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. I can't wait try more things. The subs are large. I ended up getting two half subs so I could try more and the half sub is actually the size of some full subs elsewhere if you ask me. The bread was fresh and toasted as I requested and like. Their options for mayo is just lovely! They also provide weekly specials. We tried the Jimbo(which was special of this week) this sub is loaded, mozzarella sticks, pizza logs, chopped steak, blue cheese and marinara sauce, it may sound like a lot BUT it works, was very good. The soul stealer was chicken fingers smothered in a honey garlic sauce, sweet chili coleslaw, Sriracha mayo and seasoned fries, and in the voice of Jonny NO you can't have the fries on the side haha. They have this same sandwhich but with chopped steak called the spicy dragon, we tried both and they were so good. The sweet chili coleslaw was amazing and a great addition. To lighten things up also tried the Soprano, which was a chicken cutlet with roasted red peppers, pesto mayo, balsamic dressing and mozzarella, this was my favorite of them all. The only thing I would change when ordering again is get extra mayo or sauces, I like my food saucy and messy. For dessert we tried the Oreo cheesecake. I am NOT a cheesecake fan, but I love Oreos so I tried it and OMG, I am now a Oreo cheesecake fan, at least from here! read more

The food is great. The people were awesome. Food ready quickly. Thank you for a great experience.

Honestly, what more could you want out of a deli. They have ~60 different sandwiches, to be honest maybe a little overwhelming because they all sound delicious, as well as salads and sides. Service is fast and nothing is expensive. A perfect lunch or quick dinner. Been a big fan since they were in the UB Commons. My only qualm is the location, I'm hardy in east Amherst, borderline Clarence, center or I'd come here regularly. read more

They have some Amazing Subs. I tried the Stinger and it was Delicious. My hubby tried the Reuben. We also get our Costanzo rolls here for $5. We will be trying more off the menu. read more

Matzo ball soup was freaking out of this world delicious. Chicken Caesar salad wrap was good but I'm picky about chicken and the chicken was alittle too thick for my liking sorta dry. Regardless, I ate the wrap. Would definitely return to try a different kind of wrap/sub and get the matzo ball again. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing deli. So many choices. All are excellent. Never had a meal here that I would not rave about, everyone must try this place.

Man this place makes some seriously good subs and sandwiches! They've got like a ton of different options so you can make just about anything available. The sides and home made everything is super tasty! We've been a couple of times now and I really loved the spicy steak sandwich number 61 I think. My fiancé had the 51 Asian style chicken with slaw and it was super great as well. Love the place can't wait to come back! read more

I'm always on the lookout for a good sandwich, so this place was an obvious good choice with 60+ sub options. It was tough deciding which one to pick with so many delicious combos available with a wide variety toppings, proteins, and spreads. I loved that there were unique fillings like sweet chili slaw, smoked gouda, hummus, and Doritos. They offer specials including sandwiches/subs of the week and sweets of the week. The specialty sweets are available for viewing at the counter and in the deli case. Warning: The sweets are difficult to resist. When we went, there was an Oreo cheesecake and Almond Joy bars that had us salivating. Soul Stealer: The sauce didn't have much a kick, it was more sweet than spicy. There were 3 good-sized fingers on the half of sub and just enough fries and slaw to fill it up without overloading it. I'm glad I tried it, but looking forward to choosing another of Jonny C's Favorite Sandwiches if I am able to visit again. Service was quick and friendly. I only waited about 4 min from when I placed my order to when it was ready. There are tables available both indoors and outdoors. And if you join their text club, you can get $5 off $30. The info is available on their site or in the restaurant. read more

Jonny C's NY Deli - #60 Soul Stealer on wheat - more sweet than spicy - Caterers Near Me - Amherst, New York

How have I never reviewed this place before? Definitely a hidden gem. ALWAYS and CONSISTENTLY DELICIOUS! I've literally NEVER had a bad meal here. The selection is enormous, everything is fresh and prepared to order. The pastrami is lean and delicious. It's hard for me to order anything but the pastrami when I come here, because it's so good. Fries are always crispy and golden. Having lived in NYC/manhattan for a year internship, I can attest that this is just like a NY deli. Except - it's clean, there are restrooms that are individual and clean, and I personally have never found it too crowded. Usually, it's empty. Which is hard to believe, because it's so much better than restaurants that are so crowded that you end up leaving. It's self seating. The counter staff are friendly, and the food is always prepared to order. I don't know why we don't come here more often. The soups are always good, with one rotating daily that is different. So good. A+ read more

Yesterday, I tried a sub at a place I never been before and it was so good, I wanted another one today! But they were closed by the time I was ready to come in, so I decided to try this deli. I went on their website first to make sure they were open, and there was an offer to take $5 off of $30, so I figured I would use it and order extra food to share. Walking in, you will see flat screen TVs above the counters with the menu. WOW! Lots of stuff!! It took me a good 5 minutes to make a decision because there were so many options. I'd also like to point out I regret not getting any dessert because their cannolis and peanut butter brownies looked good! I ordered my usual turkey sub that I order the same way everywhere, the nacho Philly sub, pizza logs, and macaroni salad. My order was prepared rather quickly, and I drove home. When I got home and started unpacking, I was really impressed with the presentation! They really pack everything nicely. Brownie points for this! I first tried the macaroni salad. I intended on leaving half for my son but I ate all of it. It was easily one of the best macaroni salads I ever had. Next, I tried my turkey sub. It was nothing to write home about. Not bad or anything, but nothing made it special where I felt I need to come back here for this. They also forgot to put the extra cheese on that I asked for (and paid for). Fortunately, I paid with card, and when I called back they gave me no qualms about refunding the $1.50 extra I paid to add on extra cheese. I didn't have to drive back or give them any info besides my name. The girl who took my call was very nice and did not seem annoyed that I called back about this. While I'm on it, everyone I came in contact with at the deli was very nice. I love great customer service! Keep it up ladies (and gentlemen), we do appreciate it and think about it after the fact! Each sub came with a pickle that was nice and fresh and crispy! It had a great crunch! Next I sampled the pizza logs. The pizza logs were nothing special either. Again, not bad, just nothing setting them apart from anywhere else. Except the dipping sauce. I'm not sure if they make their own marinara in house, but it was really good! It was a little sweet which is how I like mine. It made me want to try a meatball sub next time so I can have more of the sauce. Lastly, I sampled the nacho (it has Doritos on it) Philly sub. I didn't like it all. To be fair, I had a feeling I wouldn't, as they add cheese sauce to it, and I didn't think I'd like that. But I wanted to branch out and try something unique. It did not appeal to my taste buds. The meat was good though. I would probably just opt for a traditional Philly cheesesteak sub versus something like this again. Hopefully my teen son comes home with an appetite because I have tons of left overs for him lol. I'd also like to note they are currently not offering deli slices to go due to a staffing shortage. (Will life ever go back to normal?) And they have plenty of seats if you'd like to dine in. In summary, macaroni salad was awesome! Pickle spear is good lol. Desserts looked amazing but I didn't buy any to give a true review. Customer service was excellent! Presentation was amazing! This place is out of the way for me and just didn't cut it for me to drive out of my way for it. However, if you live nearby, it might be worth your while to give it a try as there menu is humongous and they have something for everybody by means of subs/sandwiches/wraps .. they also have burgers and all-day breakfast items. read more

If your into deli sandwiches and wraps, you must come here. I had the chicken finger wrap, that consisted of coleslaw, cheese and a sweet tangy habanero sauce. I am not into spicy foods, but even I enjoyed the tangy heat that this wrap had. I suggest you get extra napkins, because this wrap is juicy. Johnny C's has so many options, that you can choose from. I would find it difficult, not to be able to find something you like. read more

Still reminiscing about last weeks sub of the week, so it's now a two week sub, in my mind anyway... you get my drift. That was a delicious, beefy, cheesy, spinachy sub called a Snake in the Grass. I must say, Johnny C's got an A on that one! For around $10 a hefty tasty sub you will enjoy. It's almost like eating a cheese burger but better. Of course I also picked up the famous Buffalo chicken wing sub, for my friend. I had to steal a bite, it looked too good! Order it medium and it has a little spicy kick- just perfect with the blue cheese. Only wish it came with a side of celery and carrots. Johnny C's is definitely a deli extraordinaire with a New York flair. A must try if you're in the burbs. And as Fox E aptly stated: it's up there in ranking with Marco's Deli on Maple Road. read more

This place is a sub gem! Currently 60 different subs on the menu and all of them are topped to the max. So far I've tried a couple different ones and haven't been disappointed once and am starting to think there isn't a bad option on the menu! Very reasonable pricing, food is ready quickly and great rolls to top off a loaded meal with all sorts of options. No doubt this is a place that you should stop at if you're in the area but be ready to leave either with a full stomach or with some leftovers. They also offer a few eating challenges to those that are feeling bold enough to test their courage. Highly suggest! read more

Living in Kansas City for three years, I knew they did BBQ right, but pizza and subs could never compare to what WNY offered. Since moving back to Buffalo, I've been craving a big, hearty sub and, I've gotta say, Jonny C's absolutely delivered! A bunch of co-workers and I went came here on Tuesday for lunch and we all left very satisfied. There was plenty of parking and when we got there, we were the only customers. The inside was spacious enough though for our group of 10+. It's set up like a deli counter. They sell subs, burgers, breakfast sandwiches, soups, salads, Italian cookies, and fries along with chips and pop (or soda...). Their sandwich menu is absolutely huge though! They even have a challenge where if you try each numbered sandwich, you get some sort of prize (a t-shirt I think). I decided to get a whole Buffalotta sub and nothing else. This was EXACTLY what I have been craving since moving back to WNY! The bread to meat ratio was perfect: there was plenty of meat piled on with the veggies and cheese and just enough bread with a little hint of Olive spread to not be overwhelmingly "bready". The meats tasted fresh and the rest of the ingredients were just perfect together. The "whole" size sub was the perfect portion size for me. A few co-workers ordered the "half" size sub with a side of fries and I was impressed with the sandwich size and the amount of fries they got. The prices were very reasonable too. They've earned repeat business from me from this point forward and I look forward to trying more of the subs on the menu! read more

This place is quickly becoming a favorite for everyone in the household. We had Johnny C's last night again. This time I got the ranch rover sub. It was a little spicy, messy and so good. As usual, I ordered online. We also had The Memphis, Soul Stealer( another favorite of mine!), and The Transporter.If you can't find something on this menu then you have a problem. This place is so so so good! read more

We had Jonny Cs cater a party this weekend for 80 people and we got rave reviews from every single person. Most banquet food, buffet food is barely tolerable....the catering we got from Jonny C's was legit INCREDIBLE. We had roast beef that was tender even after an hour in the chafing pan. The chicken was the hottest item on the table and the salad was fresh, crisp and super tasty. I cannot say enough good things about dealing with Darcy and the incredible service he provided as well. Highly recommend their catering for any and all events! read more

Best subs in buffalo in my opinion. Their chicken salad is amazing with grapes in it. This is not your average sub shop. read more

Amazing sandwiches. The sandwiches are so good in fact, they've let their burrito game slip. Like, where even are the burritos? It doesn't matter, get a sandwich instead. You don't ask Bach to paint you an impressionist style Oil on Canvas and you don't ask the folks at JC's to make you a burrito OR WRAP. This is the type of shit that would give Tony Soprano a WET DREAM. And the sandwiches are so big that Pauli Walnuts and Silvio could only SPLIT one of these sandwiches, with 7:10 odds they'd leave meat on the table. Pro tip - lift HEAVY before you get a sandwich from JC's. Your quads will pop right out of your jeans and you'll feel like you could take on a silver back gorilla in a fight after eating one of these sammies read more

Jonny C's might be the best sub joint in Buffalo! The subs are huge, the bread is fresh, and the variety is amazing. I usually always get their chicken finger subs, they really load on the chicken fingers but they are flat enough so the sub doesn't fall apart after each bite. I usually go hot on the sauce, which the breading on the tender soaks up so its not messy and doesn't make the roll soggy. The Pittsburgh sub has tender chopped steak with a sweet kick of coleslaw and fresh veggies - it's usually my "dessert" sub after a hot chicken finger one! I grew up around the corner from Jonny C's, so we'd get it all the time.. but now even though I live a little more than 15 min away, we'll still make the longer drive for their great takeout service. read more

Jonny C's NY Deli - 1/2 Pittsburgh sub and 1/2 Chicken Finger sub - Caterers Near Me - Amherst, New York

Have had this place bookmarked for a while, but it's a hike from where I live so just got around to trying it! I will start by saying the menu here is extensive! You will get a filling lunch or dinner with just about anything you order here, but expect to pay for it. This place isnt expensive but it isnt cheap! Ended up trying the #50 on the menu board, Spicy Dragon Sub or something to that effect which was very tasty and had a really nice kick that had my nose running, which I love! Also got to taste the Pastromi on Rye with Swiss which was $10 and nothing too special for the price. You get a good amount of meat but it was stringy and the bread was soggy. Before you enter, be prepared to read an extensive selection and do neck stretches beforehand because it is THAT long and detailed! Stand off to the side or know what you want ahead of time if there are others in line. Dont be afraid to ask the person at the counter for a recommendation and there is always a soup of the day! Overall I'd give this place a 3.5 star if I could but went with a 4 star just because this place is trying to replicate a NYC Style deli which I love and they are hand crafting the food to order, without much of a wait. Pricey but good. Not something I will drive 17 miles for again, but if Im in the area maybe! read more

This place is close to home and being new to Buffalo -I am enjoying trying new spots. I ordered a small Casey sub, small fry, and chocolate dipped cannoli. Here's the breakdown: Casey- really good flavor, great sub roll, however the chicken breast was tough to bite into- it may have been reheated. I could have done without the mayo plus they had a lot of other sauces to try. The small fry- never got em. My order was to go and when I reached into the bag to try one I had onion rings. The bad part is I've been craving French fries. The good part is they were darn good! I'm not sure if I was given a small or a large order,but either way it was a big basket of rings too. Cannoli- the best I ever had! yummmmmmmmy!!!! I'm going back but I won't get grilled chicken again. The service was great. The guy ringing me up was extremely polite and nice and told me about some of his own sub creations that have been the sub of the week. Sub of the week this week is a turkey Rueben...might get that tomorrow- why not!? read more
