"No matter where I go I know where I came from From the Bronx" (Jennifer Lopez) Trivia Time! Q: Name the only New York City borough that's part of the United States mainland? A: The Bronx! Besides Jennifer Lopez, the Bronx may be best known as the birthplace of Hip Hop music, Arthur Avenue Italian bakeries and grocery stores, Yankee Stadium and the NY Yankees. It sure looks like the owners of Oxford's ''The Bronx Deli" are Yankee fans, because their sandwich menu has over 20 choices named after Yankee stars or baseball in general, plus hundreds of NY Yankee photos on their wall. Some of the sandwich names are The Yogi with chicken and eggplant, The Babe with turkey and pepperoni, The O'Neill Deal with ham, sopressata, salami, and provolone, Bern Baby Burn with chicken, hot peppers and mozzarella, and the coolest one -Robbie Cano, Don't Ya Know with Roast Beef, American cheese and red peppers. We wanted to pick up something to have for dinner last night and decided on a Goodfella grinder ($10.99) with Eggplant, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, oil and garlic, and a side of tortellini salad with peppers and sun dried tomatoes. The grinder was terrific -a big loaf of perfect Arthur Avenue bread, plenty of fresh eggplant and mozzarella slices, and nice marinated red pepper slices. (Pro Tip - the Goodfella doesn't include marinara sauce -if you want that order an Eggplant Parmesan sandwich). The tortellini salad was very good as well, plenty of pasta and tomatoes in a balsamic dressing. Our grinder and side totalled just $17 -not bad for a dinner for two. We dealt with two employees. The young lady who rang us up was a sweetheart -super nice and much more engaging than the young man who made our sandwich. As a former Bronxite myself, I loved visiting the Bronx Deli and checking out the photos on the wall. My favorite was an autographed picture of Yankee royalty taken at an Old Timers Day -Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Casey Stengel. All are Hall of Famers. Go check out the Bronx Deli if you're either a lover of Italian food, a Yankee fan, or both. read more

I haven't been to Bronx Deli in about two years. I was in the area so I stopped by and got two sandwiches. Both sandwiches had chicken cutlets, one was the Ozzy and the other was the Closer. I really liked their sandwiches when I last had them. Unfortunately, this time around, both sandwich were bland and not worth the money. The one that had roasted peppers had about five pieces of pepper on it. The tomatoes that were on both sandwiches were so over ripe and crunchy that I threw them out. The grinders were a good size but had very little flavor. There's other places around that have much better sandwiches for the price. This just wasn't worth it to me. read more

Five stars forever for the homerun grinder. It's my favorite hot grinder of all time. That is all.

We stopped in at 5:45 pm to grab a grinder for dinner. One girl was closing up the cold cuts and another was washing trays in the back. We weren't even acknowledged, nothing, not a word. We walked out and ordered a burrito next door. I understand this business closed at 6pm, but this was rude and disrespectful to a customer. If you're thinking about ordering here, they have great burritos next door! read more

When I am in the mood for an authentic NYC style sandwich, Bronx Deli is an absolute go-to. One of the bedrock principles of their grinders is the bread. That may sound like overstatement, but the bread is out of this world. And there is a reason for this: they source it from Arthur Avenue daily! A little taste of the City right in our area! As for the meats, they are also of top quality. And generously heaped on the sandwich. My favorite is roast beef as it tastes precisely as it should. Pair that with your favorite cheese, roasted red peppers, some horseradish . . . and ooh la la! If roast beef is not your sandwich meat, they have myriad other options: chicken cutlets, turkey, cappicola, salami, pepperoni, hot sopressata, mortadella, you name it. If you can dream a sandwich, they can create it for you here. On that magical bread. Did I mention the bread? read more

Picked up sandwiches to go from the Bronx deli following an online order and they were ready as soon as we arrived. The deli is unassuming, but the sandwiches were Bronx quality. The chicken cutlets were thin, crispy, and delicious. The eggplant was soft but perfectly fried. The sandwiches were embraced by fresh and fluffy bread that held together well following the ride home. Highly recommend the captain #2 and the closer #42. read more

After hearing great reviews from both coworkers and from seeing Yelp reviews, I am left disappointment. The sandwiches were meh and the service also meh. Pricing was expensive for meh. With competition near by that earned my 5 stars it's a hard sell for me. read more

I had the best sandwich of my life here! I was visiting this area and stumbled on this place. I still dream about my cutlet sandwich

can get a little hectic and i wish they took down your name but the food is always delicious

I still like the food there but the price has doubled over the past few years and the portions and quality has gone downhill

This was the worst experience I've ever had with a sandwich. I ordered a Chicken Cutlet with Provolone Cheese and Roasted Peppers on a roll. The chicken was so Grizzly I couldn't chew it. The garbage ate it. $13.99 down the drain. Never again will I go back there. read more

We ordered two giant sandwiches for a party and was really impressed. Staff was helpful in the ordering process. Sandwiches were ready for pickup on time which is always a plus. And everyone said they were delicious. We definitely ordered too much but people went home with hunks of sandwich so perfect party favor. Only downside was they were kind of hard to cut and without and condiments were alittle on the dry side. Ordered the Bronx American and another with a chicken cutlet ( forgot the name) read more

Bronx deli has been a favorite of mine since I lived in Oxford, always amazing sandwiches and I always stop by when I am visiting from Virginia. But may I suggest to the owners, fixing the website? It takes you to whole foods if you click food, and if you click restaurant menu, it takes you to a Mediterranean restaurant. Not the deli menu you see when you walk in. read more

I've been to the Bronx deli several times and each time has been phenomenal! The food is fresh and delicious. The service is very friendly. They really appreciate their customers and take pride in what they make. I will definitely be back!!!! read more

I've had a lot of sandwiches in my life, but nothing beats Bronx Deli. The bread is always fresh and soft, I love the variety of different sandwiches they offer, and the grinders are a great deal. I'm usually a mayo person when it comes to my sandwiches, but I never put it on my sandwiches from Bronx because their balsamic vinaigrette that comes on most of their sandwiches is beyond amazing. I always usually get a side of it no matter what sandwich I get. Highly recommend The Godfather and The Goodfella. Also, the guy who is on the register every time I go there is always so genuinely friendly! My favorite deli--highly recommend this spot! read more

We're in oxford for work today so we decided to give this deli a try. Nice quiet place, really clean. Food was delicious. The bread was fresh and the chicken cutlets were great. I love the NY Yankee memorabilia on the wall! read more

I'm a big fan of Italian style delis and this one did not disappoint! I used to work at very popular deli in Hamden many years ago, so I like to believe that that I'm a pretty good judge of quality. The Bronx deli is the best deli in Oxford or maybe even the valley in my opinion! I got The Godfather the service was friendly and fast, the sandwich ingredients were delicious and fresh, and the overall structural integrity of the sandwich (which, I believe to be very important) was nice and solid! I ate it so quickly that I went back in to to order another sandwich off the menu and it was equally delicious! Needless to say I will be going back at the first chance I get! read more

The best deli around! I have never had a bad sandwich from here. We ordered sandwich trays for lunch for getting ready on our wedding day and everyone raved about them. Staff is super friendly. read more

This place is bomb. Got myself the spicy chicken grinder. It came on a very fresh sesame seed grinder roll w/ chicken cutlet, hot peppers, mayo, veggies, cheese, hot sauce. There may have been a fried egg on the sandwich too but I was eating it too quickly to notice. Everything was super fresh. I've been a Shelton resident for 4 years and this is by far the best deli I've been to in the valley. I'm not sure how the Nardelli's across the street makes any money with these guys around. Quality-wise, this place is on par with Gaetano's in Stratford. bronx far superior to nardelli's, supersandwich, etc. I'll have to try a hard roll sandwich the next time as some other reviews are raving about them. read more

This is a real NY/CT deli. Hard rolls - awesome; Boar's head meats and cheeses; and the girl behind the counter has that no nonsense east coast attitude that I appreciate so much considering I am born and raised in CT. My husband and I discovered this place on accident. He went in to see if they had fountain soda, which they did not but he spotted the hard rolls and told me how nice they looked. The next day we went back - nothing says you're in CT than getting an egg and cheese on a hard roll for breakfast. After being very pleased with our choice, my husband decided to go again a few hours later for lunch. He ordred the chicken breast sammy and was again very happy. From that day forward we stopped at the Bronx Deli almost daily. We even introduced this place to my grandmother who lives right up the street and had never been there yet. She, too, is now a fan and buys her hard rolls there along with their fresh made soups. I have to agree with other reviewers that say this is the best deli in Oxford. Kicks Nardelli's ass. read more

Bronx Deli used to be good! Went wayyyyy down hill!!!! My girlfriend and I used to go here all the time but the food started to go really down hill. We gave it another try today and were sadly really disappointed! We both got grinders and the bread was burnt to a crisp, it honestly tasted like a day old shoe! Don't waste your money on the macaroni salad bc they hardly even fill them. I called them to tell then about their bread and they didn't even care. We won't be going back ever again! read more

The Bronx Deli - Burnt bread that tastes like a old shoe in a smokers house. - Delis Near Me - Oxford, Connecticut

This place is as legit as anything in New York City. When I moved to Seymour, I was searching for a deli to handle my Saturday afternoon sandwich runs, but coming up short whenever I searched on the Internet (this was pre-Yelp). Lo and behold, one day I see a beat-up box truck, covered in graffiti, with an Arthur Ave address pulling out of The Bronx Deli parking lot. Yes, this is going to be perfect! Inside I went, and I was not disappointed. I'll forgive their love of the Yankees (Let's Go Met's!) due to their mastery of the Italian Combo (or "The Godfather," as they've coined it). The bread is fresh, soft and incredibly tasty. Boar's Head meats and cheeses, high quality Italian products, and a friendly staff make this place a no-brainer for anyone looking for a good sandwich at an affordable price. They also do catering, and have a few freezers full of ravioli, stuffed shells and other pasta. Their chicken cutlets are made fresh every day, and featured in a variety of sandwiches (I also like the yummy Buffalo Chicken special they feature regularly, with blue cheese, cucumbers and melted cheese). If you're in the Oxford/Seymour area, give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed! read more

Now we are talking. I have been on my Italian combo tour of ct as of late and this place takes the prize x10. This combo was every bit as good as any I have had at the market on Arthur ave. read more

Fantastic food from here. Chicken cutlets are my fav and there are a lot of different options to choose from. Great stuff guys.

Good deli. Had the special; pastrami, bacon, and Swiss on a hard roll. Very good. They're located in a strip mall, so parking is plentiful and easy. I'll be back again read more

Just okay. Definitely not a NY deli. It's far better than other options around Oxford and Seymour, but if you have time to go further, I would. read more

I was excited to try this place seeing as there is not much to offer in Oxford. The other reviews seemed promising but it ended up being mediocre at best. The chicken cutlet was thick, soggy, and heated in the microwave. read more

Horrible. The heavy-set brunette at the counter rolled her eyes at me and said "Yeah buddy we don't have that" when I asked for bresaola on my sandwich. Also terrible attitude across the board. Definitely driving away business for the owner. Will not be back ever. read more

I love this little deli! When I worked in Oxford, sometimes I would leave for work a little early and stop here and grab lunch for myself. Amazing food! The sandwiches are amazing, they have a vast array of things you can choose from. The salads are HUGE and worth their weight in gold. The staff is super friendly and are patient while your trying to figure out what you want. Their selection of desserts are huge and they will suggest things to you if you don't really know what you want. The sandwiches are huge as well and a half usually fills me up. Awesome location, great hours. They are a *tad* bit pricey, but I'll pay a good amount of money for a REAL deli sandwich anyday. read more

5/5 the food was solid best breakfast sandwich in a while I had. The things I would improve as a business owner myself would be keep the store music on and not the radio on in back. Replace or paint the ceiling tiles with water damage, and upgrade the boars head lighting you have 10/10 meat but the lighting makes it look 7/10 in the cooler. I would recommend this place to anyone despite the minor cosmetic things read more

Incredible mouth-watering sandwiches. Whoever invented their sandwiches is genius. Best, tastiest food in the area by a long shot. They take sandwiches to a whole joyous new level! Staff is also very friendly. Its always a pleasurable experience coming here for lunch. I've tried quite a few sandwiches here so far, each as droolworthy as the last! Love, love, love this place!!! read more

So in the last 2 yrs I've tried this place 3 times and its always been a disappointment . Sandwiches are half heartlessly made. Ingredients and sides like broccoli rabe or chix cutlets don't seem to be made fresh. maybe they just don't have the volume to make them daily. Staff always seems to be part time and not greatly invested in the quality of product they are giving u. For a true taste of the Bronx I have to make the trek to either of the GAETANOS delis. It's too bad, I Really wanted this place to be delicious..... read more

What a huge disappointment, I was all excited to go there because I knew they had homemade gluten-free rolls. While I was waiting all I can hear is a microwave beeping nonstop, I was like I know they can't be reheating everything in the microwave. Yep... I was right, everything was reheated in the microwave. And I noticed that in the cooler they had premade meatballs so you know that they're not making everything homemade there. When they brought my gluten-free roll out of the kitchen I saw him bringing it over on a plate, I looked over the counter and the plate was dirty. I asked the worker what was on the plate and he said oh just chicken. I told him I was highly allergic to gluten and I wanted him to give me a new roll on a clean plate and he proceeded to mumble under his breath. And then I got attitude the rest of the time that I was there. Here's the thing, I am a culinary school graduate and I also have my serve safe certification so I know that there is cross-contamination going on with a dirty plate and my gluten-free roll. Of course I went home and threw out the sandwich because I figured he either spit in it or use the same roll that was on the dirty plate. I will never go to this business again. I don't know how this place can call its self a New York style deli, far from it. read more

Delicious sandwiches, super fresh ingredients and amazing combinations. Definitely as good as it gets!

Came in for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. Sandwich bread and meat were fresh and delicious. And there was a lot of meat on both mine and my brother's sandwich. read more

Can one say tasty boars head cold cuts!!! I'm there. Great deli in Oxford, they have many choices of sandwiches. Bread is fresh. Good service read more

The food is great honestly but the customer service is extremely poor, which is really unfortunate because although I've been there a couple times, the customer service makes me uncomfortable enough that I don't go very often. They don't seem very happy when customers just walk in, it's odd. read more

This is my favorite place to eat, which is saying something since I am a Mets fan. A majority of the sandwiches are named after famed Yankee players which is adorably cute! The Petite's Delight is my favorite, although I'd prefer it to be named Wright's Delight. read more

Soggy chicken cutlet on a DAY OLD grinder roll. Nothing worse than day old bread. Will never come back because of that.

They make the best chicken cutlet sandwiches around, always very fast and friendly too. A great place to go to eat in or take out. So so good!!! read more
