There's nothing to eat in Melville. This is the best out of every place I've been to so far. I've been going here 3 days in a row. I love the Bistro Panini. Melted brie cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, chicken, mmmmmmmmm. I do not love the JR Panini though. It was just alright. Everyone is friendly, which freaks me out because I'm used to the lack of customer service back in NYC. Today, I had their salad with the toss-ins. Spent $9.50 on such salad. It was alright. But not worth the price. My stomach hurts a little... read more

this is my Go To deli on 110. Weekday lunch time is a circus but a very well orchestrated one. Looks crazy until you slide into the line you want; fresh chopped salad, pizza or soup and the sandwich counter which is always full of fresh premade great combos. TIP- order first then go get your drink. then get in line to pay, if you're with a friend send them to go snag a table. Saturday (closed Sunday) you can be more leisurely about things. I've always wanted to order from their catering menu for a party but they are just too darn far from my home to make that a reality. read more

This is my firm's go-to lunch spot, for company sponsored lunches and special occasions you can be sure we are pulling out the Suburban Eats menus. We always order to the office and they've always arrived on time. Their food is all-around very good, and their catering menus are reasonable. It's great they have a big selection of food and I especially enjoyed the panini I ordered. For catering there is a nice spread of sandwiches/wraps, chips, soda, and cookies. The cookies are just 'meh' but at least the sandwiches are good and have a great variety. One day I will stop in the deli itself and report back what's happening inside, but for now it looks like I will be chowing down in the conference room. read more

Had this place a couple of times as a catered lunch (wrap, sandwiches, salads, and pizza) and it was great. I would highly suggest it for a company lunch or small party. Deli review: So I was in the area and decided to stop in. I decided to get a sandwich. Grilled chicken on a hero, lettuce, tomato, hot sauce, blue cheese dressing. It was just ok. I wasn't overwhelmingly impressed the way I was when I had their catered stuff. The chicken was super salty and the marinade they use overpowered the taste. It's probably good on salad or in a wrap but not for this particular sandwich. The hot sauce wasn't really that hot. Good: The sandwich was a good size for the price and well constructed. I've seen people complain about the prices here. $6.45 was more than fair for a hero like this one. Mac salad was good. The overall selection in this place is great too. I'm sure if you come here often enough you'd find the "go-to" items. Not so good: The grilled chicken: too salty and over seasoned. The kid behind the counter was SLOW. Kid moved like molasses and needed to speak up. Overall 3 stars is fair. I'd still come back here. It is one of the better choices in the area and has enough variety to give something else a shot. read more

Suburban Eats - Grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, hot sauce, blue cheese dressing on a hero. - Delis Near Me - Melville, New York

Suburban is an Oasis. There isn't much stuff on this portion of Route 110 except some of the worst examples of poorly run chain restaurants and one horrible dinner. So Suburban is significantly better than any of the places I just described as a group. But taken by itself, Suburban is an ok place with a severe case of multi-personality disorder. There's a salad bar (closed on Saturdays), a pizzaria, a Manhattan-esque deli and a froyo place all under one roof. Perhaps this works on the weekdays when employees of nearby businesses need some nourishment on the fly? Taken in this light Suburban is the oasis as I first descibed. Now for the food: I ordered a chicken cutlet panini sandwich with fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers. The silly clerk asked me if I wanted it warmed to which I asked if paninnis were served any other way? He then proceeded to place my pre-made concoction on a panini press for what seemed like half a second. When I received the sandwich most of the contents were cold. The cutlet was too thick and the mozzarella was all dried out. The bread however was exceptional! My munchkin had the chicken finger and freedom fries. My buddies munchkins had the pizza and my buddy had a roast beef whole wheat wrap. We were all hungry. While I didn't ask any of them what they thought about the food, I surveyed they plates at the end of the meal and gathered their votes by what was left on the plate. My bud ate most of his sandwich (three stars). One of his two munchkins ate all the pizza and the other didn't eat any part of the pizza except for the trial bite (fours stars and one star, respectively). My munchkin ate half her food and I ate all my panini despite it being called (three stars each), Verdict... read more

This is another fine suburban eats moment! I ask for 2 slices of pizza and the guys give me two slices not cut... I guess they expect me to have a pizza cutter in my back pocket! There are simply 3 women in that store that are the only reason I come back! read more

Suburban Eats - Delis Near Me - Melville, New York

As I sit here at my keyboard, hungry, disappointed, irritated and feeling that I have once again wasted my time... I wonder why I continue to punish myself, or better yet why this establishment continues punish me and other patrons with poor quality food. I cannot comment on the service as I was the only person in there, which in and of itself is surprising for 12:30 PM on a Friday in a corporate area at lunch time. Onto the food, what I ordered was Roast beef, American cheese, lettuce and mayo on a hero. I have attached a picture of the "sandwich" that I received in return. It was an entire head of lettuce chopped up slathered with mayo accompanied by two slices of roast beef. Now I am not sure who I offended but you can rest assured I am beyond offended that this is what was passed off to me for $9 plus tax and called a "sandwich". Personally I feel less scammed by the constant phone calls about "car warranties" and the like, than I feel I did by Suburban Eats. If you're a glutton for punishment then please come here and try your luck. If you already have a headache avoid coming here or you'll get another. read more

Suburban Eats - Roast Beef "Sandwich" - Delis Near Me - Melville, New York

Holy cow this place is awesome!! I had a smokehouse turkey panini with bacon, cheddar and chipotle mayo on an onion roll and it was phenomenal. At $7.95 it is great value for your money. read more

Suburban Eats - My smokehouse turkey panini was so delicious I almost ate the whole thing before I remembered to take a picture LOL - Delis Near Me - Melville, New York

I got 2 of their salads and got sick. They charge you and extra $1 to chop the salad! Lmao and don't chop at all. Both times I found bad lettuce and they left out 2 ingredients I got charged for. No thanks i'll save my $10 and make my own salad.. read more

Suburban Eats - This isn't chopped.... - Delis Near Me - Melville, New York

This a gourmet deli. I ordered chicken cutlet in a roll with lettuce, tomatoes, and roasted peppers. The roll had golden brown color with seeds on it; it wasn't that ordinary beige roll without any flavor. The veggies had bright, radiant colors which made it evident that they were fresh well before I bit into the sandwich and confirmed the freshness. The chicken cutlet was juicy and flavorful. This deli is definitely better than many of the ordinary delis in the area. read more

My company recently relocated to the Melville area and I decided to try Suburban Eats.. I bought the premade salad for $6.95, it was plentiful and tasty.. I then looked into their prepared food case and saw MOLD, DIRT, GRIME on the entire back of the casing.. To the point that piled food FOR SALE, was also touching the cases. I brought this to the attention of 2 employees and they said the owner is redoing the place soon. Who knows if its true, but after seeing that I have taken my business elsewhere. 50 a week X 50= $2,500 loss due to not cleaning... Shame on you. read more

Smelled like burnt food as I walked in. The stench got worse as I walked around the shop. Pizza looks old. Will not be returning.

Chicken Française, cubed cut potatoes and vegges, everything was bomb 10/10 would come here again

I walk in and the place looks like they are closing. The coolers look empty the food has minimal items. I walk to the salad counter to have a salad made and there is no list of what you can put in your salad. You need to look over the glass on the side to guess what you want. The guy at the register who was very nice and accommodating only shaved half his face. Just not a good feeling about eating there or going back. Thank you read more

I've been catering food from here for years now and the food and service is outstanding. The people there are very nice people and the service is excellent. Everything is freshly made and great quality. read more

Love it here. They have soo many food options, a bunch of different types of sandwhiches, plus hot food, pizza, burgers, a salad section and the foods all really good :) read more

I keep giving this place a chance but their service is so horrible I think I'm officially giving up after today's experience. The organization here is just totally non-existent. Every single time I get a panini it's the same stupid issue - they take your order and put it on the panini grill then they send you to go pay. The problem is, no one takes ownership of your order and ten minutes later you're wondering where your damn food is, until you realize that no one ever took it off the grill and it's now burnt to a crisp. This happened to me multiple times and it's difficult to prevent because the place is so chaotic that it's hard to get someone's attention and ask them to take your food off the grill before it turns into a brick of charcoal. And why should I have to worry about this? Should it really be the customer's job to manage the cooking process? Today I was trying to get a salad, which usually isn't an issue. It was 10:55 and many of the salad toppings were still covered by the metal lids. I set a package of lettuce on the counter to reserve my place in line and the employee standing there rudely told me that she wasn't ready yet. I said it's okay I'm just waiting and she gave me another rude look then continued doing... whatever it is that she was doing. After a few minutes of pretending to work and realizing I was not going to disappear, she sighed and grabbed the package of lettuce and dumped it into a bowl, and asked me what I wanted. I asked her if the toppings were available (they were still covered) and she said no. I said I don't understand you just asked me what I wanted... and she said WELL I have SOME things under here so why don't you just tell me what you want. I explained to her that I need to see the toppings to pick what I want (I'm sorry I am inconveniencing you so much but I actually have more important things to think about than memorizing the dozen or so toppings that are available at your salad bar.) She just rolled her eyes and sighed so I told her you know what forget it, I'll get something else. And I walked out. I really don't understand why this is so complicated. If the salad bar is closed, politely tell me that and let me know what time it will open. If it's not closed, get off your lazy butt and open it up and take my order, POLITELY! It will probably take a miracle for me to set foot in the place again. It sucks because they have decent food but it really takes a lot of patience to actually GET it! I understand you're bound to have a bad experience ONCE IN A WHILE almost anywhere. But about half the times I have eaten here there have been ridiculous problems like this; it's just way too much nonsense to deal with. read more

Came here due to a friend's recommendation and have to say I was deeply disappointed. Walking in unsure of what I wanted I was rushed into a decision by the employees and asked for a simple Tomato and Mozzarella Panini. My sandwich wasn't what I ordered, not even a Panini, and had turkey on it. In addition, the sandwich was cold and fell apart in my hands (not In the good way). Meanwhile my friend waited about 20 minutes for his steak-bits sandwich. Which consisted of only 4 small slivers of steak on a tiny kaiser roll. Certain not worth the $16 spent on two sandwiches. Needless to say, I won't be coming back. read more

Suburban Eats - $6.99 for this, no thank you - Delis Near Me - Melville, New York

I decided to try this place because my co-workers couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. After my experience, I can say I've had worse, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going back again. The line was at least 20 minutes long, and interacting with the staff was painful at best. I asked a few questions, and was met with such hostility that I felt they didn't want my business. After finally getting served, I got a turkey pot pie to go. It was good, but there were many many bones in it. read more

I've been going to this deli for at least 10yrs and while the service is not like it was the food is still really great. They have the best salad bar that I have ever been to. I love to build my own salad and it seems like they have everything there is to put on a salad. There sandwiches and panini's are excellent. I highly recommend three: the Londonport pub, the 110 express, and the bourbon street. The sandwiches are always fresh and if they run out of a certain one they will offer to make one for you. I've eaten there and it's nice but most times I take out. The staff is friendly but the service is way slower than it once was. I will have to take pictures the next time. All said and done this is an excellent way to place to pick up breakfast lunch or a light dinner as there hot food is also very good read more

it's pricey, actually very pricey... If you eat here for lunch please at least bring your own drink from home lol. It's PACKED! During peak lunch hours as everyone from the corporate offices closeby flock here. Service is efficient tho... Just keep moving in line and decide fast! I died and went to heaven when I had their pastrami sandwich on sliced bread. It was just so *tears* delicious. All the other pre made sandwiches really are a hit or miss, I suggest you order a customized sandwich to your liking. I love, loved their squash soup. Their pizza shop section has really great options for a fair price... I love the salad pizzas. Their actual salads tho... Very expensive. Their prepacked desserts at the counter are just okay. read more

Only place of its kind in Long Island that I have seen. This place looks a lot like cafes in the city where you pick your food, get on line and pay. There's a salad bar, sandwhich line, hot food, pretty much anything you're in the mood for you could find there. It's pretty close to the offices in Melville so you get tons of working people during lunch hours. Def a good lunch spot. When I went I got a chopped salad with I think 6 ingredients, I don't think I paid more than 6 or 7 dollars, so def a lot cheaper than other places I've been to in the area. read more

This is my first review on yelp, honestly I use yelp all the time and I never felt the need to review but this place is really good and I wanted to let everyone know. I am very picky with my orders both over the phone and when Im there and they have ALWAYS gotten it right. ALWAYS! So I decided to give them 4 stars. The food is above average to very good and the service is excellent. Hope this review is helpful read more

This place makes me so happy(and so sad when I finish their food). I've been coming here for years after my best friend started working at Estelles and we used to go on her lunch break. This place actually reminds me of a typical New York City deli(with the lunch time crowd to go with It). Despite the long lines I will keep coming back again and again for their Longwood sandwich..grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, lettuce, sundries tomatoes(I pick those off) and its covered with this dynamite pesto-honey spread. It makes the sandwich come together nicely. They use a lot of pesto(pesto bread or pesto spreads) on their sandwiches which I'm fine with(love the stuff). They really do have something for everyone. While I stick to the sandwich case(chicken griller is my back up if the longwood is out), someone like my BIL the vegetarian would visit the salad bar(where you can mix and match pretty much and salad ingredient you can imagine). They even have a pizza case(where you'll find my sister ordering her food). Of course no meal would be complete without dessert! My go-to is their to die for crumb-cake. They also have HUGE brownies, cookies, muffins etc. Lunch not your thing? They serve breakfast as well(they open at 6am). Great egg whites and Turkey sandwiches as well as your standard bacon and eggs. This place is great for anyone working along 110 as well as anyone just looking for amazing food. The counter people are great too. read more

A little on the pricey side for me. Rush hour during lunch on week days from all area companies. Tried several of their pasta salads. Can recommend the sesame. Interior is clean with many options to eat. read more

Suburban Eats - Farro salad with chicken and a small coffee for $5.75 - Delis Near Me - Melville, New York

Went in early afternoon one Saturday. Impeccably clean, and beautifully set up - as always. I knew what I came for .. my favorite Bourbon St Panini & their amazing fries. What I love about their fries is that the "batter" on them reminds me of Checkers or Popeyes style fries and they never disappoint. I was helped immediately and waited maybe a little less than 10-minutes. I also had to help myself to a damn donut (which I didn't want to admit lol). All-in-all still very happy with one of my fave delis on Long Island! read more

Haven't been to this place in years. Forgot how well they do lunch. They have a lotta fresh salads and cooked food choices. They make their own pizza and it's good. If you work on rt 110 you'd be hard pressed to find a better selection for a quick lunch. They do chopped salads made to order, and have a great selection of sandwiches. They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. read more

To start off, italian sausage slices were attractive and thick, yet I was able to bite into it without the rest of the slice breaking off! A small moment like this means the world to me, especially if I come with a coworker. There's nothing worse than a hands-on entree falling apart right before company. The music was so pleasant that I feel like singing along. "Mr. Sandman...", yeah it's that happy go lucky kind of place! To be honest, I feel like nothing can go wrong during my lunch break. Suburban Eats has an incredibly outgoing staff! Everyone has a bit of character. Their smiles are painfully contagious. Just ask my sore cheeks! Rather than rant my opinions, I'll fill you in. Right off the bat, I'm on my way towards the pizzeria. The courageousness in me always looks for the chicken roll, a childhood obsession that will never leave my life. Fortunately, I restrain myself and go for a slice. First timers should always try a regular slice before taking the next step in the relationship. At that moment, I became a hypocrite because I ended up ordering an Italian Sausage Slice. At $2.50 for this speciality slice...how could I refuse? The guy over the counter challenged me to go for two slices. I replied "How would I function at work"? The cafe provides wifi, which is a huge bonus! Left hand, my slice. Right hand, the center of any modern citizens universe (smartphone). Not only did I fall in love with Suburban Eats, but I also felt accomplished as a working man, a rewarder, and most importantly, a Yelping machine. read more

Upon entering the business, i looked around because its a pretty big store. No one greeted me at the counter for 5minutes , they continued casual conversation. The sandwich was mediocre at best. Bacon taSted like it had been cooked then microwaved, you know when its all dry and the juicy taste evaporated. Lettuce was brown. A tad bit pricey and no side salad. Nothing to rave About... read more

This place has gone down hill. Went in today and they had a very small selection of deli salads, hardly any drinks in the case. My husband ordered the London port and asked for extra chipotle mayo and the guy just slapped on plain cream cheese. Very sad place now. I will never be going back. read more

I enjoy this deli/pizzeria quite thoroughly. The people who own this place know what they are doing. I have never ordered delivery, but judging by other reviews you are better served going to pick up your food. Every time I have visited the place is jamming, but I have never experienced an overly long wait at the counter. All of the panini and pizza items are sitting in a case already prepared. You are not waiting for them to assemble sandwiches, only heat them. That is the only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5. I would prefer if the panini were assembled to order, however the place is so busy that this would make the pace unbearably slow. The turnover seems very high at lunch time and I've never gotten something that was old, so I deal with the pre-made sandwiches. Most of the sandwiches are $6.25 which I find quite reasonable. They are all on very nice breads and fair in size. Considering most places will charge you 5 bucks for a regular cold cut sandwich on a standard poppy roll, being able to get nice bread, cheeses & meats for the extra $1.25 is worth it, IMO. I can't speak for the salad bar and other prepared foods, though. Some of my favorites include the stuffed garlic knot, vermont maple panini, and sicilian panini. The garlic knot is jumbo in size and stuffed with prosciuitto, mozzarella, and tomato. They also have one with chicken in it if you want a real meal. Vermont maple panini is honey turkey with some kind of almondy spread and brie, delicious. The sicilian panini is a good vegetarian option if that's your mood and has layers of fried eggplant, roasted red peppers, provolone & artichoke spread. Sometime when I am not stuffed from all that, I will move on to the desserts which look very good as well. read more

We catered my son's graduation party today from Suburban Eats and we will definitely use them for my next son's party next year! The Backyard BBQ was great! A ton of food. Delicious burgers, hot dogs - freshly grilled, pulled pork and chicken. Everyone raved and enjoyed. And a great value. Thank you Tim. read more

Wish I could give 2.5 stars. This place is really confusing, when you walk in there's 3 different lines that are for 3 individual reasons but no signs as to what each is for. I got in one line & was told to go to a different line, by an unfriendly deli counter person. My sandwich ended up being pre-made (Nantucket) it was OK but not fulfilling & I'm still hungry. It shouldn't cost almost $8 for a pre-made sandwich that comes just like the ones you see in gas stations. It's very packed & noisy. For how many deli/ sandwich places are in this area, I think you'd be wasting your time & money to choose this one. read more

We had a party for 60 people. Did there catering menu for Traditional BBQ. They were right on time, setup, kept pumping out the food, in a perfect timely manner. Helped clean up the food after they were done. All the food was very good. Pulled pork, burgers,hot dogs, and bbq chicken. All the family and friends enjoyed the wonderful food. Nice job to Alex and Victor the two chefs. They made the day that much more special. The price was right on point. We felt the money spent was worth it. Thanks guys for a excellent time. read more

Love Suburban Eats! When I worked in the area, my department used to order from there regularly. It's usually pretty bustling during lunch hours but happily, they deliver. It's also super close to where I live and often I stop in to grab a small take-out meal for dinner. Their staff very friendly and accommodating, even if I'm taking a bit of time to decide what I want.... not too hard considering the really broad selection of choices! : ) Everything is fresh and delish, from salads to sweet treats. I'm crazy about their chicken caesar salad!! Yummmmm. read more

Fresh food, quick turnover, always busy and lots of breakfast and lunch variety. Specialty sodas and snacka, especially for a barren part of the strip. Call your order in, check it before you leave. They also cater. Have gone back lots of times. read more

One of, if not the best Deli around. They have everything from sandwiches, salads and paninis to hot food specials, pizza and baked goods and it is all delicious. You won't be disappointing. read more

For deli fare, Suburban is tops. We routinely order lunch delivered to our office. However, you must be prepared to wait up to 2 hours to receive the delivery. And sometimes the grilled chicken (or various other ingredients from "build your own salad") may be missing from your salad. This is the reason I stopped ordering salads from Suburban long ago (even though some of their homemade dressings are delightful). The soups are overpriced and not as good as you'd expect, judging by the quality of their sandwiches and hot food choices. You cannot go wrong with any of the sandwiches or wraps. My favorites are the JR Special or the Longwood. Delicious and well worth the price. I would avoid going there at lunch time. It's packed and you will wait almost as long as if you have it delivered. read more

Suburban is an excellent deli. Many different hot or cold sandwiches. Very unique menu, they also make great huge salads. I love their Cobb salad as well as their hot roast beef sandwich with i think russisn dressing. They deliver which is nice if you work on 110 or if you live here in the area read more
