Reuben sandwich. Un-melted cheese with a cool center.
Danandjen M.

So-so. Ordered the Reuben sandwich and a cup of tortilla soup online with drive-thru pick-up (to-go option). Arrived at listed pick-up time (15 minutes later), waited behind two cars in line for another 15 minutes, only to arrive at the window and wait another 10 minutes while they started making my order. The two folks working the line/register were very friendly and apologized for the wait. Sandwich was made with decent ingredients (good bread and pastrami), but cheese wasn't melted, bread wasn't really toasted, and there was minimal saurkraut. And for the price, portion size was small. Tortilla soup was a more creamy variation, albeit well flavored, and the highlight of the otherwise under-impressive meal. Didn't seem like that busy of a day (Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m., but maybe was just an off day for them? Either way, I might go back but I will probably get something different next time. IMHO, it's hard to screw up a 5-ingredient grilled sandwich but maybe the Reuben isn't their specialty...

We had an excellent experience for lunch today at McAllister's! Latoya the cashier/deli server who works there truly was so friendly, helpful and efficient. Her coworker that was arranging to go orders was also appearing so careful while putting orders together and was communicative with Latoya (name was on our receipt and we asked for it since we were so impressed). It is so nice seeing teamwork, efficient service, and friendly helpful customer service. The food is perfection--just the deli taste we were craving. We ordered two clubs, potato salad, the veggie, broccoli and cheese soup, four cheese sandwich, and the Godiva double chocolate cheesecake. Also--fellow military families--they are loud and proud here at this establishment about discounts for all military (including vets)--every day. We also noted they give discounts to teachers. There may be other professions discounted, it's worth an ask. Nice clean, friendly deli--making me wishing we had one where we live (just in town visiting family).

Stopped here for a quick lunch while heading out to the beach. They had lots of salad, sandwich, soup, and spud options making it hard to pick just one meal! I chose the pick 2 option and got the Savannah Salad and Grilled Chicken Sandwich - it was delicious! Other members of my family got the Garden Turkey Sandwich and Southwest Chicken Salad. Everyone really enjoyed their meal (and sweet tea)! The service was fine and we had no problems. I would definitely stop again!

Serving expired food.

Really have attempted to give this establishment the opportunity to provide a great meal and customer service but this is the second time we have had a negative experience. This one including expired food with the label clearly showing it was indeed expired. Incredibly disappointing and a shame considering this so close to our local Air Force base.

Waited 30 minutes to get 1 of 2 orders. Took another 15 for the second order. Food is marginal at best.

After a fun day at a local Jeep event bestie and I decided to give Peach House Restaurant and we…read morewere so glad we did! The restaurant was clean with beautiful decor inside, nice clean bathroom (a definite plus), and friendly staff that were happy to help! Bestie and I both ordered a Bird Dawg Club with pasta salad. Every layer of the Bird Dawg Club was fresh, crisp, and flavorful, making me want to go buy some Boar's Head deli meat the next time I'm at the store! The pasta salad was fresh as well with a nice Italian Vinaigrette. I got a Southern pecan bar for dessert which was ok but you know not everyone makes pecan pie bars to my likings. The Guinness Cream Cheese brownie really stole the show as it was warmed and I'm so glad my bestie shared a bite with me! We will be back the next time we are rolling through town!

A little disappointed there were no peach items on the menu…read more The food was good, but kind of ordinary, the soup tasted like canned soup, and my sandwich was ordinary, basically what I could have made at home for far less. My wife was disappointed in her sandwich. She found it bland and dry. No soft drink fountain, so I bought a bottle for 10X what it costs to buy in the store. I get markup, and I don't deny any business a profit, but the drink was like buying a soda at movie theater prices.

New York Corner Deli was our breakfast place when we stayed at Topsail Beach in the summer of 2022,…read moreand at Surf City in the summer of 2025. Conveniently located in the center of Topsail Island, it was a 15-minute drive from our 2022 Airbnb stay. With our stay at Saltwater Suites in 2025, the drive was less than 5 minutes. With four mornings between the two stays, we dined in at NY Corner Deli four times. It had everything we wanted. My son and I are sticklers for routine. In every visit to NY Corner Deli, we ordered the same thing: 2 scrambled eggs with toast & potatoes for me, and pancakes for him. Orders were placed at the counter. Then we went upstairs to the dining area and waited for the orders to be served. There were no issues with the order, food or service in the four visits. In both 2022 visits, I had coffee; in both 2025 visits, I had Mountain Dew. Refills are free for both coffee and soda. My order tasted better than a similar one at Tick Tock Diner in NYC. It was great value for money. I always felt that I ate enough to last me through lunch. There was no reason to try anything different. Unlike Tick Tock Diner, NY Corner Deli did not have any TVs in the dining area. We go to the beach to get away from the world. TVs keeps us connected to the world and the negativity that comes with it. Furthermore, there weren't many people in the dining area whenever we were here. I had only seen up to two other tables that were occupied. If you like a decent breakfast and a quiet atmosphere, NY Corner Deli is the place to be. I'll be back the next time I'm in the Topsail / Surf City area.

Tbh it's okay. The quality of food is never disappointing. But this is something I've debated for a…read morewhile and asking if their prices are fair. I can totally understand on why but my visit today felt like it didn't match. Just everything felt weak; both quality and quantity. Service has always been a real hit or miss too. You either get okay service or they just don't care, whether on the phone or in person. It used to be a really great place to go to for food but now just feels below average. It's a place I can only really go to every once in a while because of prices. I wish it was a place I could frequent more often.
