South Bellmore Deli

Love this cutest deli ever!!…read more The hubbs and I usually come here for breakfast pick up. We phone in the order for two sandwiches and they are usually done in about 5 minutes as we are walking through the door. Coupled with some coffees, it's a good start for the day. The decor of this deli is so Old-world Italian. Little roosters around, frozen fresh pasta and ravioli. They usually also make special deserts/sandwiches to the right of the cash register that look so tempting. A bit expensive...yes...but it's just a neighborhood treasure that you just love going into.

This has been my go to place for heros since I moved to Merrick over a decade ago. My favorite…read morecold sandwich is the All American with the works. It's a great combination of cold cuts that just synchronizes so well with the American cheese and oil, vinegar, spice concoction of the works. As for the hot sandwiches the eggplant parm has been my favorite. The eggplant is smooth and binds with the red sauce perfectly. Today they released a new contender for the best hot sandwich with a catchy name: The Rolling Roaster. It had roast beef soaked in Au jus enhanced with extra beef tallow blanketed with a layer of homemade cheese. The result was the juiciest roast beef with a deep beef flavor. The soft bread interior did a good job catching all of the excess juices as it was not as messy as I anticipated. Hope this stays on the regular menu as I will be adding it to my order rotation. My Hero is old school only accepting cash or checks. Along with that comes the great service and charm that makes this place what it is. In recent years they have made an improvement in the parking situation. Now you can park in the carvel lot next door.

I hate to say this, but, today I ordered an All American after having been away from My Hero for a…read morewhile, and... it was not the quality I've come to expect from them. The sandwich was the same size as always and was decently filled, though there seemed to me more ham and less roast beef or turkey than normal. The most glaring part was the taste overall - the cold cuts and cheese didn't quite taste the same, but most glaringly, the mayo did not taste like Admiration Heavy Mayo, which has always kind of what made their sandwiches really pop. Hopefully, it was just an off day, but the last time I was there, the chicken club also had some issues.

One guy kept looking me up and down, another looked irritated before I even said anything -- overall, the vibe was uncomfortable. When I went up to order, the man at the register got annoyed because I took a moment to decide. He slammed the register shut and muttered something under his breath, which didn't help the interaction at all. I ordered the "Psycho Chicken," which sounded great on the menu -- chicken cutlet, bacon, mozzarella, and chipotle mayo. But the execution wasn't there. I asked for a hero and got a roll. I asked for the sauce on the side and got a sandwich completely drenched in it. The chicken wasn't sliced, so it fell apart immediately, and they forgot the bacon entirely. On top of that, I waited almost 30 minutes for a $15.50 sandwich that didn't taste good. What really threw me off, though, was what I noticed while waiting. I saw employees vaping right in front of the food, and I watched them handle money and then touch the food with the same gloves -- which makes wearing gloves pointless. On top of that, the staff seemed irritated with each other the whole time, like nobody actually wanted to be there. The place feels rundown, the service is uncomfortable, and the food didn't deliver. Based on what I experienced, I wouldn't recommend it.

I was told by a co-worker about how great South Bellmore Deli is. I decided to take a ride there. I was very impressed. The place was immaculate, the staff was very helpful and polite. That's something you don't see to much. They seemed like they enjoyed their job. Anyway I ordered a burger with pepper jack cheese, lettuce and tomato and their special sauce. It was cooked to perfection the way I ordered it. The showcase of salads looked so yummy. My family and I are big foodies so I decided for the fight night to have it catered from there. The chicken cutlet hero, wings and salads that I got were off the hook. I will definitely cater from there again. Thank you for great food and courteous service. read more

I used to live in bellmore a few years ago. Came to this deli at least 3 times a month. They Always put a good amount of cold cuts on the sandwich. They are new owners now. I came here last week. Got an Italian hero with ham, salami, and pepperoni. They put about 3 slices of ham, 2 slices of salami, and 4 small slices of pepperoni. But tons of lettuce and tomato. I was basically eat a lettuce and tomato sandwich. Hardly tasted the cold cuts. Won't be coming back. Go to super hero deli on Newbridge road in bellmore. They actually pack the sandwich with meat.
