This restaurant lives up to its name! Pastrami was cut so thin it melted in your mouth. Best thing I have eaten in a long time! Now if I only lived closer I would be here everyday. Service was top notch everyone there so friendly. I implore you if you are in vicinity to try out this authentic deli!! read more

I ordered a deli platter to send to friends who were mourning the passing of their mother. I spoke to Annie who was fantastic over the phone making sure she had all the correct details. My friends sent a picture of what was delivered and it was exactly what I hoped they would receive. I'm posting the picture not in the image is a second loaf of rye bread that came with the order. This was an order for 10 people and I have no doubt everyone will have enough to eat. I live in California if I was a local I would definitely be a regular customer of Pastrami Express. read more

Food was excellent!! Service on point. Classic NY Deli vibe. Enjoyed the Pastrami sandwich with a pickle. Old school style good food.

A tiny small storefront with a distinguishable sign on busy Merrick road lead us into the most delicious meal of corned beef and pastrami. The food is everything you would hope deli food would be. The pastrami and corned beef were lean but not dry. Overstuffed sandwiches on toasted rye . The meat is melt in your mouth tender and flavorful. Thick crinkle cut French fries that arrive table side hot and crispy . Cole slaw was tasty. Pickles were garlicky and crisp. The eating area is small, not fancy, but clean; the staff and owners are friendly and above all appreciative of our business. Huge parking lot in the rear of the building . We didn't realize this until after we parked on Merrick road. Make use of the parking behind the building for safety. We are glad we found this gem . read more

Service is very nice and friendly. The knish I had was very good. The place was busy and that says a lot about the place.

I use to live on the LES and Katz Deli is my benchmark when it comes to Pastrami sandwiches. Since moving to Long Island, I haven't found a deli that came close to Katz...that's is until recently, when I found this place. Their sandwich is almost identical to Katz's: meat is just the right color, cooked to perfect tenderness and is sandwiched between bread that's soft but not soggy. While at it, get a cream soda, throw on some retro disco soundtrack and you got yourself a food porn scene. Annie also makes a killer cheese cake and Abe is the best cutter our there. When ordering, just make sure you ask Abe for fatty meat and extra thick cut...THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...otherwise you will get the regular lean cut and will not look anything like the photos. It's also a good idea to order an extra sandwich, because there's a high probability that your spouse or roommate will eat yours. Btw, repeat trips will make your butt wide. You've been warned. read more

As a Black person beware coming here ! I simply just tried to throw my garbage out in the restaurant ( a small bag I had in my car ) after picking up an Uber order here . The business owner then comes around the counter as I try to leave & yells at me "Hey , Hey is this your garbage !? I'm sorry the garbage can is for customers only ". ... the people there are straight rude for no reason I've never had this happen to me at any other business . Moral of the story don't go there ! If I could've given zero stars I would have. read more

I heard a lot about this place and went out of my way to go here, so I was disappointed it was mot any better than any other pastrami joint. There are a lot of Pastrami Places in Long Island and most/all are good. The pastrami was just as good as any other pastrami place on Long Island. read more

I have been craving a good hot pastrami sandwich for a while, I yelped it and pastrami express popped up. It was a good deli would like to go back and actually sit down in there and have lunch, I liked the look of the place. The pastrami sandwich was good, I had to spread the meat out across the bread because they just pile it up in the middle of the bread. The seedless rye bread was delicious. The pastrami was good but sliced too thin for my liking but next time I go I can ask for a thicker sliced sandwich. The corned beef sandwich was ok nothing to write home about, I just mentioned it because I also had it there. Overall I will go back, they have a very variety of sandwiches on the menu. read more

Five star reviews are well deserved. I haven't had pastrami this good in a long time!

This is the 1st time I decided to try this place and boy all the other yelpers were not wrong this is the place to go for pastrami! It is melt in your mouth tender! It's a tiny little place that's right on Merrick road, which is tough to find a parking spot. Not to worry if you are not familiar with the area there is a HUGE parking lot in the back. To be honest you would not think it would be this large, but you will see for yourself. The place has all the reminders of a kosher delicatessen but, they are not kosher! Everything on the menu sounds great! Also the pictures on Yelp made it even better! I have tried out the classic with a dr browns cream soda, and a small coleslaw. I have finally found a pastrami sandwich as I said melt in your mouth tender OMG! The coleslaw is on the peppery side, not sweet like Ben's, but it's good! Definitely try this place out before going to any place else! read more

Quality meats, freshly steamed, never dry. The pastrami croquets are my favorite small bites. They hit the spot

The food and service were excellent! After moving to Nassau after many years in NYC we were looking for a good kosher style deli and found a keeper! read more

Good food. Excellent pastrami.,soups, small location hidden away. The lights in the restaurant need to be upgraded. The place seemed dark. Friendly service read more

One word. Outstanding!!!!! I've never written a review before but I felt that I just had to. Everything was so fresh and simply amazing!! My husband is a pastrami connoisseur and he can't stop talking about how delicious it was and how it just melted in his mouth! My turkey sandwich was excellent served on fresh rye and to it I added their delicious homemade coleslaw and Russian dressing. Yum!! There used to be this excellent deli located in Rego Park , Queens, called Ben's Best ( not to be confused with Bens) that my whole family used to go to as a child growing up. We were so heartbroken when this deli closed down after many years of being in business. I thought aside from the 2nd Ave Deli in Manhattan that Ben's Best was the best deli in New York. Boy was I wrong! After googling delis on Long Island I came across this deli located in Seaford. Score!! My husband and I are so excited about this hidden jewel and I'm sure we'll be running back again and again! read more

I liked this place. We had pastrami sandwiches and they were good. Now I'm spoiled by Katz, but compared to some of the other pastrami options on LI, I liked this little family owned joint. read more

If you're a fan of Ben's you should really check out Pastrami Express. I think it's better than Ben's. They STUFF the sandwiches. Excellent Roast beef, turkey, pastrami, corned beef the list goes on. They give you a side of pickles with your sandwich. One half of a sandwich fills me up. Service is fast, you're in and you're out. Great sandwich spot! (Also get yourself a knish while you're at it) read more

Pastrami Express - Roast beef, lettuce, tomato on rye - Delis Near Me - Seaford, New York

Great Jewish style deli on the south shore. It is not kosher, but the food is what you would expect at a kosher or Jewish deli. I dined in and had a Reuben sandwich with pastrami instead of corned beef. They started we off with some complimentary cole slaw along with a half sour pickle and a sour pickle. I'd definitely recommend trying those. The Reuben was ready within a few minutes. The pastrami was sliced thin. The sandwich was delicious! It was hot with plenty of flavor. I'd definitely recommend it! The service was quick and attentive! I'd definitely try some of their other items next time such as their knishes and the chopped liver. read more

Credit card fee of 3.99 is too much for me. They forgot part of my order to but at least they did not charge me. They were not very nice at all however the service was prompt. The Pastrami was below average. read more

small place, a few tables inside. plenty of parking in back & back entrance. Popped on quick for the first time today. checked out the menu they had many things to choose from but i just got a simple pastrami on rye. was excellent & quick. will deff be back & try a few other things! read more

After missing good deli food for the longest time; I didn't realize this gem was located less than 2 miles from home. Small and no nonsense inside. The food was amazing. I stuck to the basics; we started with coleslaw accompanied by a mix of sour and half sour pickles followed by a corned beef sandwich on fresh rye bread; spicy mustard on the side, a homemade square knish and a Dr Browns black cherry soda. Amazing! My wife had an open faced turkey sandwich with a crispy potato latke - apple sauce on the side for dipping. My friend enjoyed round potato onion knish and a pastrami sandwich. I noted several other classic dishes on the menu that I will surely be back to try soon! read more

Everything was amazing Started with potato pancakes. My wife had the matzah ball soup she considers herself a expert on that topic and she said it was great. Then I had the pastrami nice and lean & juicy my wife had the chicken salad on rye with a side of potato salad then if it couldn't get any better this wonderful woman comes out with homemade cheesecake drizzled with Carmel as a thank you for dining there Place is great will be back soon & so should you read more

This place reminds me of a Grandma's Kitchen. The food is good, and I would give 3.5 for food, but am rating at 4 Stars overall for sense of home and the care the Owners take for their restaurant. I enjoyed the stuffed cabbage, my delicious Rubin, and the kids loved their meals and of course the Pickle tray they give you when you Dine-In!!! I will be back as there are a few items I am looking forward too, and of course for the sense of home the place offers... read more

Abe put together two beautiful platters of pastrami, corned beef, roast beef, and turkey sandwiches accompanied by delicious cole staw and potato salad. We live in the 5 towns area and have plenty of alternatives, but it was well worth the drive to Seaford for Abe's wonderful sandwiches and salads. read more

I give a zero for the sandwiches imitation Corn beef and Pastrami. Very friendly they have no idea what they are serving

The place is on the Money - hidden Gem in Seaford ‼ The pastrami is sliced super thin and it's mouth watering buttery... I usually get the club and American and cheese and Rye w Swiss... The Russian sauce and Mustard is phenomenal This place is really amazing - better than Katz IM. I had to update my review, after popping in on @Irving Pastrami in Woodbury.... Don't let the pictures fool you... Irving's is not worth the trip or money ... compared to Pastrami Express, Irving's Pastrami sucks ‼ The meat is rubbery and just ok. On the other hand, Pastrami EXPRESS is the KING of Pastrami on Long Island.... The meat is butter soft and melts in your Mouth .... You want an AMAZING sandwich - Go to Pastrami Express - Nuff Said read more

Finally found my delicious pastrami sandwich go to near my home! Food is wonderful, prices are fair, service with a smile and lovely owners who put their heart and soul into this business. A perfect combination! If your hankering for a that salty treat, head over to Pastrami Express! Oh, great home made apple strudel to boot!! read more

I order delivery via Grubhub and the food ALWAYS comes really quickly- always within 15-20 minutes of ordering. Someone who works there delivers it with a smile and a sincere thank you! Impressive. The matzoh ball soup is my favorite - this is one of the only 2 places I'll order matzoh balls from. The matzoh balls are always super light and fluffy. They often serve them separately so they don't get compromised from sitting in the broth too long. The chicken broth is delicious. Not too salty, always tastes fresh. My coworker got the hot corned beef sandwich- which she said was very good. The split pea is pretty good- but I prefer the matzoh balls. They make a mean hot corned beef & pastrami on rye sandwich- spicy mustard on the side. (Order the "2 meats special sandwich" and select your meats and add your condiments.) Onion rings are great, even when reheated as leftovers. I'm so glad I found this place on GrubHub. I've ordered here 3 times already and they always impress me. read more

Excellent every time. They make everything fresh every day. So when they run out, that is it. Nothing served it sub par. I rotate between the hot open sandwiches and the cold sandwiches. Brisket and gravy, roast beef, pastrami, corned beef. the sandwiches have all the new style of sandwiches and all the classics. Really fits everyone palate. The knishes are homemade. Everything is just outstanding. I always start with the Mushroom Barley soup, I like that a lot. My wife always gets the cold roast beef with cold slaw and Russian dressing. My daughter loves their hot dogs and perogies. They do take out and dine in. Wife and husband run place and they are always there. Gotta try this spot! read more

Best Pastrami around. Been here many times. I drive all the way from Huntington, we always get fatty & thick cut. Today we had the best pastrami sandwich so far. read more

Best pastrami I've had in a long time! We had a table of 6 people, and everyone loved what they ordered.

The food here is fantastic but I had to come here to say I find it incredibly ridiculous and bad business that I spent $50 on food from here and 1) with a 15 dollar sandwich they up charged me for a couple extra pickles which prob cost them close to nothing and 2) in the bag was no utensils, no napkins. Nothing. Just very inconsiderate and comes off as incredibly cheap. Very nervy! Food is great but beware of the penny pinching! read more

Solid. Drove by this place a million times. Finally stopped and ordered take out for my family. You would never know by walking into this "joint" you are going to have an incredible sandwich at a fair price. The sandwiches are overstuffed and fresh, just like a nyc deli (nowhere else on long island have i seen it this generous) and at half the price. Had the pastrami and corned beef combo on rye, perfect. Had a turkey with swiss, cole slaw and thousand island dressing on rye, was told it was incredible. Ordered Hebrew National hot dogs that were humongous. Mix all that in with a super nice couple who owns the place and you have a recipe for success. read more

Ok just back from this nice little cozy spot. My wife ordered a chicken wrap and said it was very good! I ordered hot pastrami with grilled onions on a club roll and side fries. It's was good, not the best tasting I have had but it definitely mad my taste buds happy. They also start you off with pickles and a dish of cole slaw. I don't eat cole slaw but my wife said it was very good. The waitress was very attentive as it got busy after we sat down but she handled all 4 tables. The place is clean and I would definitely go back. I also order a hot dog, it was warm not hot like it but it was tasty. This place hits the spot!! Their pastrami is some of the best I have ever tasted! I'm glad that I went tonight!! Man did it satisfy my craving!! read more

My boyfriend and I have been waiting to try this place for a while. We split the pastrami and corned beef Reuben. Completely inhaled everything in a record breaking probably 3 minutes and the sandwiches were a good size. Felt like I was in a scene from Hannibal lecter. So tender. So juicy. I smothered Russian dressing all over mine & my boyfriend liked the spicy mustard on his. Highlight of my week. Will be back asap read more
