This place was great! it's very convenient that it's open at 7:00-12:00, because most places near the area open at 11:30. The food however, lived up to its name. It really was a stage star. I order the Philly cheesesteak sandwich- it was amazing! The service was excellent, the cashier was bilingual in English and Spanish. The ambiance was lovely. Usually in NY, stores are packed but this little shop had a section at the back called the 'backstage'. It's a calm seating area with beautiful colors and decore. read more

We stopped here on our most recent trip into Manhattan. This is a family run business and they very friendly and welcoming. We ordered breakfast order to go and thought the bagels were great. Even with me adding some protein (fried eggs, sausages & bacon). Yum. LOL read more

Service was great. The food was fresh and good. I had the Ruben and fries, wife had the toasted Monte Cristo panini. Both were very good. Prices were very reasonable, and selection of items ran the gamut. Everything from sandwiches, Tex-Mex, burgers, and custom built salads. I wouldn't hesitate to come back. read more

Stage Star Deli - Food prep and order counter. - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Deli with a speakeasy?!!! Came here for the Reuben, but was caught checking out the happy hour specials. There's a velveteen curtain next to the deli that I otherwise wouldn't have noticed that leads to a large bar/speakeasy area. Food was delivered to us in the back as I enjoyed the ambiance. Service was friendly and welcoming. Oh right -the Reuben, the reason I was here to begin with was quite delicious. The triple decker is made with Cole slaw, ask for kraut if you're looking for tang. Great value and delicious! read more

Stage Star Deli - Triple decker with fries - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

I haven't tried anything in the front, this review is for the bar in the back. I came in here with a friend the other day, I got two coronas and a Cesar salad for $27 before tax and tip. The Cesar was really good, lots of pepper so if you don't like spice it might not be for you, but I would come back for that salad. The bar tender was really nice even though we ended up talking for a while after we ordered our last drink. I sat at the bar which was nice but nothing special, they also had coaches. Over all pretty good experience and I will be back. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The salmon cream cheese bagel was incredibly fresh and delicious--perfectly balanced and so satisfying. Great spot for a quick, tasty bite. Will definitely be back! read more

A nice find in Manhattan. I got the triple decker sandwich and it was delicious and a great value in a city that can be expensive. The staff was friendly. Not a ton of seating but not a bad experience at all. read more

Stage Star Deli - Triple Decker - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

See all

This is the blandest, most overcooked food ever. Really disappointing. Also the cleaning mopping is done while you are sitting there. Really unpleasant. No "excuse me". Just a mop on your feet. read more

Stage Star Deli - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

4.5 stars rounding down to 4 Super cheap food that tastes good Would eat breakfast here like everyday guiltlessly $1 more to breakfast items after 11am read more

Food 4.5/5 - I am judging this Deli based on its genre. For a sit down deli this was an excellent Reuben sandwich, good portions, solid amount of fries, yummy dressing. The bread tasted like rye but wasn't marbled, not sure why. They also had some pre-made paninis and hot bar items I did not try. Ambiance 4/5, classic New York mix between a diner and a deli with seating for about 15 people. I saw some young couples here on dates which was cute. It's definitely a spot for people who live here not tourists trying to have a flashy time. It was reasonably crowded (I grabbed the last seat at 3pm on a weekday) but I could see it being packed during a lunch rush. Service 5/5 - everyone was super friendly. They gave me honey mustard on the side and were prompt with the service. Price 5/5 - in the inflation era of Manhattan being able to sit down and eat a meal in Midtown for under $15 ia increasingly rare. read more

Stage Star Deli - Tabasco chicken w. rice & vegetables - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

They have any sandwich you can imagine. Order at the deli counter up front, then sit in the bar/speakeasy area in the back. Perfect place for lunch while walking around the city read more

I discovered the speakeasy over the Summer but only could fully appreciate the pub in back today. Was nearby so I stopped in during Happy Hour at 6:10pm. Pulled up to the bar between a white bearded bartender just 4 feet away but he never greeted me or acknowledged me. There was a much younger gal mixing drinks for the back room and her only concerns were mixing those drinks and the guy chatting her up. People came in, wave after wave, some whitebeard apparently knew but still he refused to turn his eyes 15 degrees in my direction and ask me what I would like. After 30 mins of being ignored and whisked past, I left. It was NOT that busy - If I could rate this place lower I would. read more

Great food and super fast and affordable. Super neat back room too. Everyone was nice.

Love this place! Whenever I'm in the area during the mornings, I'd stop by for a sausage, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious! They're also on the Too Good Too Go app so I've gotten a random box of food at the end of the day and that was also delicious as well. read more

Fine place to grab a sandwich but there are so many places to eat I would not go out of my way to go back. Plus, they made two mistakes with our order. Tight and crowded space to sit. We went down the street and found a nice place outside. read more

This place is amazing! Food was excellent, reasonably priced and portions were great. True taste of New York with a wide range of selections. If you can't find anything to eat, you probably aren't hungry! We ate here 3 times in a 5 day trip to New York read more

Stage Star Deli - Pastrami Sandwich and chip and a Philly cheese - Delis Near Me - New York, New York

Breakfast in NYC. Fresh and delicious, menu is above you and take your time in ordering. Gets busy fast. There is a seated area where you can sit and eat. Very clean . read more

Great food, people, and prices. This deli was very close to our hotel and recommended by the desk clerk, so we tried it out. Friendly people behind the counter, tons of options, and everything looked good. My nieces both had smoked turkey sandwiches with Brie. They're picky teenagers and the guy making the sandwiches was patient with their customizations. They both enjoyed, one said it was the best sandwich she's ever had. I had a chicken pesto panini. The flavor was good, but it was pretty dry. read more

Their pastrami sandwich was pretty darn good but I dunno about the fries LOL. I would come back here and would recommend to others.

Easily ordered online through Grubhub. Food was ready when I arrived. Breakfast sandwich was very good. French toast was excellent. Be aware that the papas are on the smothered/ mushy side but still very good. 5 minutes from the Hilton Mid town. Very nice staff . read more

Ordered a two eggs, ham, and cheese on wheat, two hash browns and coffee. The sandwich was decent, but nothing special. The hash browns were disgusting. One (photo) was completely old, burned to a crisp, and inedible. The second one was not as burned, but barely edible. The coffee tasted watered down and flavorless. Not your typical NYC deli coffee. On to another! read more

Been going here weekly for the last 6 months to get a salad. Will not come back. Was given such attitude at the salad station, that I named soy beans - beans and were given a lesson how i should name items, absolutely redic. Went to pay and was told 20.99 I asked did they just changed the prices when I used to pay 11. Absolutely redic with bad attitude. read more

I'm not sure where they got the photo of the tall stacked delicious, looking corn beef sandwich, you see advertising this place, but it sure wasn't here! I ordered the corn beef and it was pretty much the run-of-the-mill variety. Absolutely nothing special. read more

Five stars for this deli!! It has a little of everything, from all day breakfast to sandwiches to Mexican and even Asian dishes, with a really fresh salad bar. Service amazingly prompt and nice. Coffee is GOOD. Shockingly good, no canned crapola this was sippable savorable take it black and go mmmmm. Bacon, egg, hash brown, toast platter all spot on and filling- perfectly cooked eggs, bacon nice and crispy and lota of, two hash brown patties, and toast was whole wheat by default - which I like! My wifey got a gut-busting egg, cheese, bacon croissant - she really enjoyed it! Best of all - all that, two coffees, an orange juice (bottled) - under twenty bucks!! I love this type of NYC deli!!! read more
