We recently decided to give Sammy's NYC Deli a try, and unfortunately, it was a decision we quickly…read moreregretted. When my partner and I walked in, we were greeted by a man at the counter and mentioned it was our first time visiting. His response was about as uninterested as it gets. Instead of offering a menu or any guidance, he simply pointed off to the side and told us to order when we were ready. Not exactly a welcoming first impression. The space itself was small, with a few tables, drink coolers, baked goods, and smoothie options. After placing our order, we waited...and waited. After exactly 40 minutes, I finally asked about the status, especially after watching another couple come in after us, order, and leave with their food before we received ours. I understand that takeout and delivery orders are part of the business, but in-house customers should not be completely overlooked. There was no communication, no sense of urgency, and no effort to acknowledge the delay. It genuinely felt like we didn't matter as customers. And for what? Two sandwiches--a roast beef and a turkey. Having worked in restaurants myself, I can confidently say that should not take 40 minutes under normal circumstances. I don't enjoy writing negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough to warrant one. We will not be returning. Save yourself the time and look elsewhere.

I am proud to say that I like to write honest reviews based off my experiences with local…read morebusinesses. I try my best to not really shine the light on negative experiences because it does impact the businesses. Unfortunately- we had such a poor experience at Sammy's that I felt the need to share. The space itself is fine. There are a handful of casual tables that if you were just grabbing a bite you could sit for a little. I was actually really excited to see all their menu items but we had intentionally gone there because we were in the mood for sandwiches. I just had gotten out of work & was excited to just have something quick & easy for a "deli" to make. We ordered the Roast Beef Supreme Hero & the Caesar Squeeze Hero. It wasn't busy at all when we arrived so again believing it would be reasonably quick. It took them 40 minutes & us having to address the team about our sandwiches to get them. I believe there was even a comment made that they had some how forgotten our ticket as they did have many DoorDash orders coming in. We finally received our sandwiches & waited to open them once we got home. It was highly disappointing to open our boxes only to find lazily made sandwiches that we waited 40 minutes for. The cheese in the roast beef was just a folded slice of store bought cheese slices. The roast beef was fine but there really wasn't anything else to note about the underwhelming sandwich other than I did like the roll. The Caesar Squeeze was equally underwhelming & the fries we got were sparse while also being cold. Paying $30 for a highly underwhelming bite to eat- I wouldn't even call it a meal- was disheartening. They had a vast menu so who knows maybe on the off chance we're in the area & everything else is closed we MIGHT try them again.

The place was bustling, all seats taken, people standing waiting on their order, and others dashing in for their carry out orders. There's good reason for that, the food, the coffee, the service, the vibe was all excellent. Inside is clean, simply decorated, and everything from the food to the kitchen is visible. It's simply part of the decor. We purchased some bagels from the previous day, some breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The coffee was bold, rich and fresh. The bagels delicious, all of the sandwich parts cooked to perfection. There's a friendly, warm vibe inside that extends from the staff and is entrenched in the food and coffee. Just a fantastic place for bagels and, I have to admit, NY bagels are next level. If you're in Syracuse, I highly recommend you make sure you make Water Street Bagel one of your stops.
