Great vibes, good selection and the veggie sandwich I got was delicious. A nice touch, the person who was cooking our food made a point to ask if cheese and Mayo was okay to put on my sandwich cause he picked up on me being a vegetarian/having dietary restrictions. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Art - Great Food Options- Fabulous Conversations As a Black women-- I say I don't think I ever felt more safe in a bodega. Super respectful and room for human behavior (mistakes, blips, awkwardness) My money will be going into this business at all cost. Nobody will admit it honestly-- but south Pearl has been waiting for something like this. **I also would like to negate another (non black) Yelper -- yes the food is affordable but it ain't meant to be 5 star restaurant prices! We want Food Near Me LLC to stay in business and we want the soul food to be affordable for who it's meant for... Increasing the prices IS NOT always the answer**

Low-end tall boys stuff the cooler. However... if you come here during the day they make delicious subs that put Subway to shame. Their regular subs are at least a foot long if not more but where the shine is in the fillings. Everything is sliced fresh to order from the meat, the cheese and the veggies. They have my beloved hot pepper relish as a condiment option as well as other hot sauces. I recently ordered a Buffalo chicken sub. They didn't skimp on the meat or cheese and dressed it exactly the way I asked with extra lettuce, onions and tomato. Again, I repeat, everything was sliced to order, meat, cheese, veggies and all. It was an excellent sub that put Subway to shame because of it's freshness, size and price. The bun was also perfect. I've attached a photo which really doesn't do justice to the sub and to how delicious, fresh and stuffed it was.

On the surface.. maybe it looks like your average store with snacks, drinks magazines and lottery.. but it's more than that... they sell hand made cards, made by the owner's wife, and Perry's ice-cream, and any number of other quick-grab items, Advil, Lotto, etc. The real value of Emil's are the people who work there, this is a family run business, Jerry and his son Anthony know their customers. They're friendly & take pride in getting to know the locals & regulars. With COVID causing office closures, their business has been greatly affected, less employees in the office is less foot traffic. I love this little mom & pop, shop.. remember to stop in, support local and keep the small business afloat!

They have a good selection of snack foods, beverages, greeting cards and reading material, lotto, a few toiletry items, in addition to hot coffee, sandwiches, soups (1 per day), baked goods, chili dogs, and several flavors of Perry's ice cream. The breakfast sandwiches are a steal. Deli sandwiches run about $5-6; soup $3.25ish. They aim for quality and do not disappoint... They get their meats from the Old World Deli. The roast beef is especially good - It's nice and rare, and absolutely delicious. (See food pics.) I love to support locally owned shops, and it doesn't hurt that Emil's does things right.
