Known about Otto's for years. Never been to until a few days ago. This is an old school deli. The best potato salad anywhere. Staff is fantastic. Love this place. read more

I ordered a custom hero, it had Turkey, Roast beef, ham, roasted peppers, pickles, Swiss and coleslaw. It was . I can't wait to go back!

Run don't walk to Otto's. Old school classic deli feel with prompt service, and clean cut staff. I love the ties and how they made that part of the identity. Hard to beat the bacon egg and cheese. Love Otto's. read more

Stopped into Ottos deli when a note on the door caught my eye. I purchased 3 meats a blueberry muffin from the many different kinds to choose from, and a bag of fresh Unique shell pretzels. Place is clean,server friendly. I saw a sign on the inside of the counter ( see pix) noting if one buys a cup at one of two delis the refills are 2.00 dollars.I also saw a few very pretty ornaments as a miniature coffee grinder. I'll be in another time to check out the Otto specials. read more

The food at Otto's is always excellent. My family frequents this deli. Today my husband had the ciabatta mac daddy, I had the buffalo chicken panini, and my son had the little league. All of our sandwiches were delicious. The staff at Otto's are also very kind every time we go in. There is never a long wait since they have many employees who are ready to help. I highly recommend Otto's! read more

Best deli with the friendliest staff!! They literally have the BEST SEAFOOD BISQUE AROUND !!!

I recently ordered food from Otto's Delicatessen, including a 3 foot hero. The sandwich was overstuffed and delicious. Food was ready on time and staff friendly and helpful. It is my new 'go to' place for catering read more

All I wanted was a BECSPK instead, I got 23 minutes of this whacko going off about Joe Biden. Listen man, you're a white middle class home owner from Long Island. You drive a pick up truck. We know who you voted for and it could have been Jesus coming back and running as a democrat you'd hate him too. Biden ain't special, it just ain't your guy. But please, for the love of GOD, I do not care nor wanna hear or see your one personality trait posted while I'm waiting for a mediocre bagel. Stop blaming Biden for your problems. Your vendors raised their prices on you just because. Why did they do this? Because they knew you'd blame Biden instead of them. I mean I'd raise my prices on my film editing for major studios if I knew they would pay up and then blame the Nassau comptroller lololool. Anyway, take your own advice when it comes to NFL players and stick to what you know. Which is cooking 3/10 breakfast sandwich and refilling the coffee once a week. No one cares, you're alienating half your customer base for no reason and fyi, I'm a registered independent, so I'm not writing this because I love Biden. Couldn't care less about him. I just find it cringe when breakfast boys with no background whatsoever in economics besides calling a meat guy constantly complain about things they don't understand. They should change the name to Otto's winter wonderland because honestly this place is full of snowflakes. read more

Ottos has lost all the "old school" deli charm. They nickel and dime you for every ingredient. They have taken total advantage of "inflation". I understand there is inflation... then there is gouging... I've been a loyal customer for almost 20 years. The other day I got lunch for my family of 4. $80 for 4 sandwiches , 4 drinks, 4 chips and half gallon of milk. 2 years ago that was a $40 ish bill. I had a reciept printed.. It was $7.80 for the sandwich... then charged $2 for the hero bread! whats the sandwich? The cold cut? Itemized tomato... Itemize lettuce? Cheese was added extra. 2 bucks for the bread? Isnt that what makes a sandwich a sandwich. $2.59 for a small bag of chips. Charged for a credit card. I used to go to Ottos 3 or 4 times a week.. I love the food, and still do... but now I go once a month.. Ottos Im truly not interested in your reasons why... In 2 years you have gone up almost 100%. I know inflation is historical... But you have added on top of that...You took a hometown old school deli... and you got greedy. You will still make your profits .. Im only 1 customer. I knew when you took over how this would play out... There use to be a John Thiessen jug for donations.... you replaced it with a tip jar! That in itself sent a message. Milk us for more! Enjoy my $80 a month instead of my $500 a month. Shame on you. ps. I know Mark from theold Ottoswould donate at least a couple thousand dollars a year from the donation jar. Id like to know if the new Ottos donates anything? read more

Came here as the search said it was a hero shop. It's not. Just a typical deli. Not bad. But, NOT a hero shop. Nice guys working there

I was on my way to the wantagh library, had some studying to bang out. I just left work and needed to grab food asap. I hate giving new delis a shot to be honest, I stopped at the nearest deli I could find. I figured it was hit or miss... whole staff was cool, down to earth, polite. Chicken cutlet hero's are not easy to master. I don't fake my reviews... I don't get paid for leaving a review, I do it to return respect, for good service. Food was a 9.5 out of 10 easy. Next time I'm trying the panini sandwiches, they looked on point to say the least. Will be back! read more

Yes!! Great service! Great people! Great fresh food! I was unfamiliar with the area and wanted something to eat to take home. All the people behind the counter - kind, knowledgeable. Lots of choices- sandwiches, homemade salads, paninis. And the homemade chicken pot pie!!! Boar's Head. I will definitely be back to try more things! read more

Quick and delicious. The man helping us really put the finishing touches on our sandwiches making it look so well stacked and wrapped. Thank you Ottos Deli! read more

Salads leave a lot to be desired. No flavor at all. Like eating styrofoam. The German potato salad was decent (not good - edible) but the mac salad, pot salad and slaw wound up in the trash. read more

Everything we've ever ordered from Otto's has been excellent. There's no better potato salad!!

Very good! Boars Head products. They sandwiches actually have a good amount of meat when you order, unlike many other delis. Orders are always made exactly how I request. read more

Have never gotten a bad meal here and I visit 1-2 times a week. Staff is dressed old school in white collared shirts with ties and always friendly. Always fresh food and cold cuts. read more

Excellent quality food At its finest.Jeffrey is Amazing The Service was Stellar and everything ordered was Perfected By Mark,Kieth and there staff Hands down Best Deli In Wantagh and of Long Island NY Thanks Otto's read more

Every town in America should be lucky enough to have an "Ottos" Deli. Yes... perhaps I'm biased but I don't think so. I've been coming here for decades. Always... Before the beach. It's just a right of passage if you grew up in Wantagh. Rating is based upon 1) quality of food 2) customer service No better sandwich. Everything is always very fresh. I enjoy the rolls... Crusty on the outside & soft on the inside. Every sandwich whether it's an egg or a roast beef.. Just exactly what you would expect & hope for when you bite into a sandwich. Customer service.... Easy going, friendly . It always feels like home even if u haven't been here in a yr or 2. Even if you're a stranger... You won't be. It's Ottos... The guys that work here are happy & friendly & laid back!!! read more

Ottos is hands down the best deli in the wantagh area. This local staple serves great sandwiches, dishes, salads, and catering all from well dressed deli clerks. They moved from their original location a few years ago so everything in the store is brand new and clean. Their egg sandwichs are great and their homefries are a nice addition to any breakfast sandy. Lunch wise their major league hero is great as well as any other cold cut sandwich or panini. All sandwiches offer a nice amount of meat and are served on fresh rolls or heros. They also have some great salads which are all homemade on site by their cook karen!! Not many delis these days have homemade salads but ottos does. I personally like their macaroni salad, coleslaw, chicken salad, and broccoli salads the best. Salads are great for summer bbqs. Their homemade ice coffee and pink lemonade are also great. read more

I've been a customer of Otto's for over 30 years before Mark Scofield sold it. I just left there after ordering a tuna fish sandwich. While I'm waiting for the sandwich to be made I'm calculating the price of the sandwich I ordered with prices posted on the board which should have been $7.95 with a $3.98 mac salad. I paid $14 and then asked about the price and was told that the computer prices have been changed and they are waiting for the new signs. I tried to explain that they shouldn't charge more until updated prices are posted. The guy behind the counter was less than cordial and suggested that I "take it up with he owner". Don't need to, in the future I'll go to my other stand-by deli - Beck's. read more

The place use to be good. Now they use one day old bread for their sandwiches. The salads in the case are a least one week old. They don't throw their salad out after a couple of days. I would reframe from the chicken cutlets they sit in the walk-in for at least a week or more. Pretty much the staff that is there is good. read more

Otto's is the best deli on the South Shore! The staff is friendly and accommodating, the store is clean and all sandwiches are made-to-order! 5 stars all around! read more

We went to Otto's after a day at Jones Beach. My brother in-law recommended it since he's from Wantagh and it did not disappoint. We ordered a sandlot I think, it was the Italian combo and a chicken cutlet sandwich. The Italian combo was legit. Excellent hoagie, fresh cuts of meat, good size and portion too. The Chicken cutlet was alright, not the best but still very filling. I definitely prefer the cold cut sandwiches here over the cutlet sandwiches. Otto's was very busy, parking lot was jammed pack, the only small downside of coming to Otto's, it's cash only I believe. Other than that, Otto's is a great stop before or after a day at the beach. read more

He proceeds to grab my drink with a glove on and says it is COLD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!! ??????? WTH????? I would not ever recconend this place!!! read more

Since moving to their new location Otto's has gotten even better if that is even possible! No deli around has more staff churning out great sandwiches from morning until night! Everyone is professional and friendly. And Otto's still has the best tuna fish in the world (in my opinion). read more

Great local deli. They are one of the few local deli's that still make many of the items fresh daily. Their macaroni salad, cole slaw and potato salad are all fantastic. The German potato salad is my husbands favorite. Authentic German potato salad, yum. My favorite is their rice pudding. They also make their chicken salad fresh daily. There are large pieces of real chicken, not a big mush like its tuna salad. They also make this kringle cake, that is a buttery delight. If in the area I would highly suggest you check this place out for lunch. there is usually a line but it goes quickly because often there are quite a few people behind the counter. read more

Today we went to get some sandwiches at Otto's new location. The sandwiches were great. Turkey was fresh and just how we wanted it. We also ordered the tuna salad, perfect. The fresh rye was also great. Will be going back soon read more

Just on my way to work in the morning and needed some grub looked this place up. Ordered a BEGSPK on a Roll DAM! it was so good the right amount of Egg, Cheese, and the Bacon was cooked just right. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had definitely started my day right. read more

Quite simply the best deli maybe in the US. Why? Quality and recipe used for the roast beef is outstanding and when eaten solo or in a sandwich it is the best. Also the team working there is helpful efficient and nice. Otto's gets 5 stars. read more

This place is 5 star all around. Workers are great. Home fries are the best in town or actually in Nassau county.

Solid deli in Wantagh, been a staple in town for a very long time. They do have the best potato salad ever but the sandwiches can be weak. Nothing beats an egg sandwich and theirs aren't amazing, they're just ok. One thing that is not good is their bacon...they microwave their bacon....it's just all wrong read more

I have been coming to Otto's on the weekly lately cause im pretty much addicted to their iced tea Im pretty sure there is crack in it. Their german butter kringle is the SHIT. so tasty and good. I got their burger special the other day and its a steal for 6.99$. the burger is HUGE im pretty sure its a bubba burger but i don't give a shit it was really good. FF were meh. I also got the "homemade" meatballs which def weren't homemade and not good. Stay clear. The homemade Dave's pickles are really good and spicy. I want to try their "famous" meatloaf but by the time i get their its usually sold out. They also have munchos which i love and never see around anymore. All in a all a solid deli. Don't go to the pizza place next door it SUCKS read more

Hands down my favorite Deli around... Maybe I am partial b/c I worked there as a kid but the sammy's are excellent as are the salads. Delicious - get the Jr League and lookout for excellent soups in the winter time. Their split pea and potato leek are excellent! (Chili not bad either)... read more

I used to come from Norwalk Connecticut for their Penn Dutch Mac with BACON!!!! and their Penn Dutch Potato salads. Now I live on Long Island. A local place and its a hidden gem. Great location on the west side of Wantagh ave near the train station. Home made soups and catering. It's a one stop shop for you or your party. read more

Otto's is bit pricey, especially with the sandwiches. But nonetheless, my sandwiches are always delicious and well-made. Also, the staff is very friendly. This is a place you could easily miss since it's a bit tiny. But if you're ever going to the park/beach stop by here for a good meal. read more
