Nice spot for a quick breakfast. We got a BEC on an everything bagel and a Balsamic Griller panini. The bagel was easily the better item out of the two, can't go wrong with any of the ingredients there haha. The panini tasted good and was toasted great, though had slightly tough chicken read more

Stopped by Smith st deli to try some bagels. I dieted a tuna on whole wheat bagel and croissant with egg, bacon and cheese. The wheat bagel was tough and the tuna was flavorless. Didn't finish. The croissant was okay but the bacon was undercooked. Overall customer service was acceptable. Pricing was on the high side for what was purchased. Don't mind paying any price if the food warrants it. Unfortunately I cannot recommend based on this experience. read more

I have been to smith street deli about 6 times now. Every time it is consistently great. The staff are warm and friendly and service is great. They have a great selection on packaged products and seating to eat in. The sandwiches are awesome. I have gotten the garbage pail and the extra hero. The extra has eggs, bacon, sausage, ham and cheese. This time I added a well done hash brown for crunch. Delicious! The best deli around! read more

A short and sweet review must be left for Smith Street Deli, but there is a big emphasis on the SWEET. Their sandwiches are SO FRESH and SO DELICIOUS. The BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese) on a Kaiser roll is Long Island breakfast culture at its finest, and their iced teas, neatly wrapped in plastic, is such a trademark feature of Long Island deli life, too! They also have really tasty sandwiches for lunch and dinner (I've tried the Dagwood Hero with turkey, roast beef, American cheese, mayo, lettuce, and tomato), and their market selection is vast when it comes to cold drinks, salads, chips, and other little things your heart desires to make your meal complete. Smith Street Deli is definitely a noteworthy spot! read more

Smith Street Deli sits right off the Meadowbrook Parkway, making it an easy stop on the way to Jones Beach for a summer day. I went for the Super Beef Hero, a roast beef sandwich piled onto garlic bread with melted mozzarella. The sandwich was satisfying, but the price was hard to justify. What makes it more frustrating is that prices aren't posted until you pay. If they change often, a digital menu would be an easy fix. Like many Long Island delis, Smith Street Deli is spotless but undeniably pricey. It's a fun treat before the beach though I wouldn't make it a regular stop. Service was slower than expected given the small crowd, despite the number of staff on hand. read more

I have been enjoying Smith Street Deli for years. Whether I want a quick lunch or I'm catering an event, they have never let me down. The staff is wonderful. The food is fresh and delicious. AND ... best iced coffee going! read more

We hit this place up on the way to Jones Beach. EVERY person in here was bathing suit clad. Both the Italian combo, and the ham/cheese sandwiches we ordered were superb. The service here is amazing. Huge selection of chips/snacks, and this place has a decent sized parking lot. Shwing! read more

This place is a must visit while in Merrick. Great quality food and service. Always better to call in your order, or enjoy Yourself and sit in. read more

I have been here a few times. It is an expansive Long Island deli. You can your breakfast sandwiches, your heroes, your soups, your salads, you hot meals, etc. I went and got a chicken hero. The chicken wasn't dry, which is the worst. The bread was fresh. It was exactly what you would want and they made it quickly. The staff was friendly and professional. There was a lot of things I plan on going back to try out. From my few experiences, I would recommend it. read more

Best paninis, best sandwiches, best bacon, egg, cheese and best French vanilla ice coffees to get you through the day! Love stopping by here! Staff is always welcoming! read more

If I could give it 6 stars I would. I ordered my favorite deli Sandwhich, a roll with bacon, chicken cutlet, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Fresh cutlet and bacon, and always a kind and helpful server. Smith street has my deli loyalty . read more

Deli is way over priced, easily the skimpiest deli in the area, miserable employees. Example in photos: $14-15 for a psycho chicken on a roll, ONE piece of chicken cutlet cut in half and two pieces of bacon on the sandwich. Place is a joke and will avoid. read more

Greatly overated. staff is rude and disrespectful, ordered a bunch of sandwitches .for the beach, came back in the late afternoon, Jesse the manager was very arrogant and stated he was the owner. He isnt the manager and denied any part of my 150 dollar order being incorrect. grossly overpriced. read more

Back in the old neighborhood and in need of a sandwich, I stopped in at the Smith Street deli Catessen. Still operating a first class deli and tunafish with some chips and a bottle of soda made me happy this afternoon. Nice way to reminisce and satisfy my hunger at the same time. read more

I've been working in the area and this Deli makes it convenient for me to park the truck & grab something to eat. A solid 3.5 stars but I'm rounding up to 4 for variety. I've been here several times and the service is good. It's a super clean deli & the location is odd but it works. It's in a residential area next to a gas station. The best thing I've had so far has been the breakfast sandwich. I wasn't impressed with the BLT or the Cuban. They were decent just not the best I've had. But they have an awesome variety & several items like soups & salads already packaged up to grab & go. Overall a nice deli. I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area. 12-27-2017 read more

One of my favorites! Clean and friendly and everything I have ordered has been delicious!! Highly recommend

I paid $8.24 for an egg white bacon and cheese on a bagel only To come to work and see that they forgot the cheese!!!!! $8.24 for a BEC without the freaking cheese!!! What a rip off this place was !!! To make matters worse half of the sandwich didn't even have bacon!! Scam!!! never again!! read more

I always look forward to my morning visit to the Smith St Deli when I visit my brother Tom in Merrick NY. Deli is always very clean, staff is friendly and quick. Deli food is terrific. Start my day off with coffee and breakfast at Smith St Deli and off to a good start. Wish I had a Smith St Deli in Pacific Beach San Diego Ca. read more

Smith Street Deli - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

Your friendly, neighborhood deli (with emphasis on the word friendly). The staff here is great and always welcoming. Portions are large and the food is good. Menu is just what you would expect from a traditional deli. Also, their "text in your order" capability is CLUTCH (and came in handy during the recent Isles playoff run)... BEC SPK all day. read more

Best of the Best This place has the quality meats And ingredients. With home cooking on premises. Hello James read more

One of the best delis in town ! Tiny treasure that is always busy so food is always great and fresh . They are always very nice , I would recommend this deli to everyone! read more

This is a wonderful delicatessen. We love their chocolate pudding but they also have great sandwiches and salads. The staff is always very friendly and everything seems reasonably priced read more

First time visiting this deli. Very clean and awesome service. As soon as they see a few people waiting they automatically help if you're being helped. They even have a text in number so you can order ahead, perfect for when you are in a rush. I made my own sandwich and my boyfriend got the Reuben on a hero. Both were great, filling, and fresh. Not badly priced either. Will definitely be back!! read more

Good clean deli with great service. They have a wide variety of fresh sandwiches and homemade salads. For breakfast their signature smith street wrap is great and all their homemade muffins are also awesome. Lunch wise they have a ton of sandwich board ideas along with fresh chopped salads, premade wraps, and tons of cold salads. My favorite salads are their Waldorf salad and chicken cranberry. Place gets packed but is worth the wait. read more

I'm beginning to agree about customer service, size of sandwiches, utensils or lack thereof. A man was just awful today. I drive 1.2 hr to get something to eat aylt what " I remembered" to he an AWESOME friendly place and I was not greeted, welcomed or asked for assistance by this man at the counter. The lady was nice but got stuck w negativity 101 .... 50 ish heavy set set guy . Place is beautiful, lines short, quality good. Although your employees can decrease your business traffic bc of their attitude towards women! So disappointed bc my 1st time was 5 star. No more after that I ABSOLUTELY left feeling awful from a local Small. Business who should be grateful for customers in this climate. Wow! Maybe staff education on customer service should ensue as I'll never drive all that way EVER again.RUDE MAN read more

Unfortunately I will never come back here again. I just recently moved back into the area and this used to be my go to deli but today I paid $30 for ham and cheese on a roll, chicken cutlet with cheese on a hero, and a small soup. I could not believe it. The food is good but way overpriced and I refuse to be taken advantage of. Never again. read more

The food and options are good. Arrives early when delivered. The muffin tops and breakfast and lunch are good. Good coffee.

Ordered a wrap platter for a family gathering. Was presented very nicely and all the wraps were delicious. Staff was friendly would recommend read more

It was fast service and I found a great variety of products. I found it as a great surprise! But it is located not on Sunrise Highway Long Island NY it is a little off the main road. I felt very satisfaced with a good bagel sandwich and coffee. It was clean and I met locals with interesting conversation. I found my way back home to Sunrise and Meadowbrook ... I was thinking what a nice place. read more

Best deli in Merrick. Lots of staff which helps with getting customers out the door quickly. My go to deli.

Love this deli!! Everything is always fresh and delicious. I love that they serve breakfast later than most delis and the cheese steaks are the bomb. I either go to this deli or get delivery at least once a week. read more

Everything you could need before heading to Jones Beach! Taking one star off because the second time I went there, around 11am on a Saturday, the guy who served me was rude. He seemed rly peeved that I placed an order through Grubhub, and even more peeved that I asked if the online order could be placed like those at counter (to avoid waiting another 30mins). I realize it was crowded and the majority of their customers are locals, but at the same time, the attitude I received for not knowing better was not necessary. Good thing I'd already had a very pleasant experience and exchange the first time I stopped in on my way to JB! read more

I'd give 0 stars but that isn't a option. Ordered via the text to order which they don't give any care about because twice I showed up and it was never ready. "Ordered Gave name - wild turkey on a hero Gave name - Chicken tenders honey must and BBQ on the side & well done Gave name - Order of small mozzarella sticks with chicken tenders Gave name - Cobb grilled chicken salad add feta cheese and extra bacon 2 salad dressing Caesar and balsamic vinaigrette and small seasoned fries Please label the food with our names Thanks & see you soon" Was told to wait 30 minutes I show up after 40+ minutes and first the very nasty employee tells me I show up early, than lies and says it'll be ready in 5 minutes and I'm watching them still making everything....... The worst parts below: He rings me up and lets me walk out only to tell me more food is yet to be prepared after calling me back... I called back to speak to the boss the terrible employee connects me to this NASTY owner who curses at me says I can come get my money back and they rang me up and let me walk out to make it faster for me. He said this with the most disgusting attitude. All the Caucasian regulars after me were in and out no problem. Who didn't have orders placed either...hmmmmmm. Owner cursed at me and said to not come back because they work too hard. Yea ok and I'm the queen of England. Morons give me the dipping sauces for the tenders no tenders and forgot 2 out of 4 items. Never had this issue with the old owner. Boswells is better. Don't go here. I'm a Merrick resident and have never been so disrespected by a local business. This is how they treat a 29 year old on a hour break getting lunch on him for his coworkers. read more

Smith Street Deli - Racist owner of Smith Street Deli doesn't do right by the customers they screw over and lie to. - Delis Near Me - Merrick, New York

Great spot if you're heading to the beach! The sandwiches are all great (seriously, I haven't gone wrong with a single sandwich choice). They also have fruit bowls and plenty of drink options for your beach coolers! Pasta salads are good but way overpriced for what they are IMO. read more

I've been here around 5-6 times and the food isn't bad but they have managed to mess up my order every single time. I ask for whole wheat bread and they give me white, i ask for no butter on my toast and they smother it in butter. Today i ask for a toasted sandwhich and they didn't toast it. Also the people there are kind of rude. Go to MY HERO instead, much bigger and better sandwhiches and they actually listen when you order! read more

They don't take phone orders because they're "too busy" guess they don't need my money either. It's 2022 and you can't order from their website or call to place an order. Horrible customer service read more

The Sandwiches were fresh- soft rolls- decent amount of meat and cheese. Perfect amount of mayonnaise and mustard. Nice selections of other snacks/ watermelon cups, cookies. Quick service, friendly staff. read more

The Balsamic Griller nothing near balsamic at all. It was bland. Chicken breast was too thick of pieces (or lumps) for pre-sliced (thin) bread. Mozzarella slice was too thin to compliment the taste and balsamic (!) pesto was just spread thin (lik mayo in McDonald's burger) that almost only the name of it was there. The menu reads: "BALSAMIC GRILLER: Balsamic Marinated Chicken Breast, Fresh Sliced Mozzarella Cheese, Roasted Red Peppers, and Balsamic Pesto." I like Smith Deli and get my lunches from there now and then. Their wraps, salads and sandwiches are usually good. But this one (text order#228) was just not! read more

Smith St is a sleek and spacious deli. The layout is spreadout making it easy to walk around the deli and find exactly what you'd like. The menu is prominently displayed along the perimeter of the upper wall, so it's possible to see the menu from anywhere you stand in the store. The quality of ingredients is very good. There is a large selection of pre-made sandwiches and lunch options in case you're in an exceptional hurry. Smith St also offers the option for you to text in your order. read more
