Always great food. Ribs fell off the bones and burgers made perfectly. Very sharp looking place. Great service is constant. Prices somewhat high. read more

Pretty cool environment. A little chaotic during lunch but we worked through it. The Rueben was very good! Only negative was they were advertising Buffalo Chicken but using Siracuse hot sauce. Buffalo Chicken should be a wing sauce like Franks Red Hot. read more

Here's the. Scoop: Ordered a fabulous salad and oh my it was filled to the brim. Chock full of Mesclun Greens, red onion, cucumber, roasted chicken, bacon, croutons, hard boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, with blue cheese dressing. Oops and let's not forget the black olives. Delicious and healthy. If you're hangry for some good food prepared your way check out the garage. Open for breakfast and lunch only. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. I'm enjoying this lovely salad. read more

The Garage - Chicken Caesar Wrap - Delis Near Me - Islandia, New York

I'm a Central Islip high school school teacher that has been going to this establishment since 2016!!! Why has it taken me this long to write a review for this place has certainly been a lapse in judgment because, I gotta tell you, this is the kind of establishment that makes you feel absolutely welcomed and well-treated, and deserving of a great review. I'm greeted with a smile and even when they are hustling, they are never rude. What's more, in exactly ZERO places have I've been, from to time, met with the owner coming around with warm cookies as treat to their costumers just because! I mean, dude... that's master; I can't imagine walking away thinking, "gosh, I'll never come here again." Quite the contrary. All of my colleagues have them as a default "Go-To" establishment and I think you should too. Their food is the Bomb Diggity (and yes, that's a technical and professional description). Very tasty and just packed with goodness. Please support them by showing up. They are the place I can't wait to go to during those annoying days I gotta proctor for hours. I can chill, relax, and be met by very nice folk with a ready smile. Give them a try if you haven't! read more

Boars head cold cuts. Made to order sandwiches and salads, plus burgers, pizza and assorted hot food. Good spot for breakfast and lunch. No waiter service, it's a counter service situation. Good selection of beverages as well. Ample seating as well. Overall a solid spot for grab a quick lunch or breakfast. read more

UPDATE: Thank you Don for calling me and rectifying my order. I appreciate it! Got delivery to the office. Order was wrong. Asked for whole wheat wrap with full eggs (with yokes), got whole grain, egg whites. Did get my extra chicken though. Still, never again. Check the picture. "WW" is whole wheat abbreviated. read more

Each time I have been here has been nothing less than wonderful experience.. The garage is a seriously hopping food establishment "old world cafeteria style" that offers a variety of just about everything. It's big, bright, spacious, (plenty of tables for in house eating) and comes with a very friendly and helpful staff. From the Tuna salad to the egg sandwich to the salads, they were perfect. Well stuffed sandwiches, always fresh. You can get anything here, Pizza, hot foods, colds foods and salads, fresh soups, and... they cater for the office. You can order one of their 'named' sandwiches or there is enough of a selection of meats, and salads to design your own. You step up to a counter where one of 25 people offer to help you. They defiantly get you in and out. You pick up your own beverage (hot or cold) and proceed to the cashier. Today, while I was having my egg sandwich they came by with a tray of cookies for dessert. In all my times at dinners and delicatessens, no one has ever offered my a cookie, and it was a really good oatmeal raisin cookie. I really need to come here more often... Brief update 7-7-2016: Today I finally purchased a "non-egg" sandwich. The chicken salad is outstanding.... Big chucks of chicken with some celery. The chicken is tasty and not floating in a sea of mayonnaise. I will definitely start trying more of the items,,, and there are plenty of them! read more

Great food and very nice people service was great a lot of choices to pick and everything was good

They have some big ones to charge $10 for this sandwich that took 25 minutes to make and was mostly bread. Barely any coldcuts on the hero. Last time i'm getting ripped off for shitty service and overpriced cheaply made shit food read more

The Garage - $10 for this terrible sandwich - Delis Near Me - Islandia, New York

Went to this deli for lunch wanting 2 regular slices of pizza. Well, I was told the pizza guy didn't come Today, so no pizza. There is a separate station for Pizza, how do you not have pizza at 12:30 on a Wednesday?! Not to mention their prices are way overpriced. read more

I returned to The Garage one day after the owner was kind enough to offer lunch following a not-so-favorable experience. I feel that the place is still a bit pricy for the food options there, however I'll reiterate that it's delicious. The manager and the staff were welcoming and made personal recommendations for the food. I picked up a dessert that looked like a parfait made with vanilla pudding layered with Oreo cookies and unbelievably fresh whipped cream. That thingy is worth it all in itself! read more

Ordered lunch for 3 at 10:57am through Seamless. Delivery came in at 1:09pm, well over an hour after the estimated 11:45-11:55am estimate. Called after 1 hr 15 minutes and was told the driver had left (no apology or other helpful information). He showed up another hour after that. Fries and slices of pizza were ice cold. Roast beef sandwich had only meat on it, no toppings (note to garage: if your menu selections include choices for extra cheese, extra lettuce, and extra tomatoes...that implies that the regular sandwich comes with them in the first place). I do not recommend ordering from this place, especially if you get delivery and don't have all day to wait for lunch. Horrible experience. read more

Great good great vibes and wonderful owners my second time coming here and it gets better every time the corvette is delicious and the ready to eat hot food tastes so comforting and homey. We met the owners and they are so hospitable and have a very warm presence it feels like home we will keep Coming back :) read more

Neat place. A cafeteria setting without the cafeteria feel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You won't have to wait for your food even during a mad rush; they are well staffed. I had the New Yorker. The roast beef was fantastic! The bread wasn't quite as soft as I would like, but still good. read more

The Garage - The ordering area, just before the lunch crowd arrived. - Delis Near Me - Islandia, New York

This place is on another level. Soon as you walk in your breath is taken away. Starts off with pizza and then turns in to a smorgasbord of the most beautifully presented food you'll ever see. And if you think for one second your going to walk out of there with only one thing, guess again. Because these reasonably set prices for these wonderful portions of incredible food will entice you to break your bank. If you are in the area or are bored looking for a filling adventure this should be the next destination in your gps. Staff are extremely kind and the atmosphere inside the place are incomparable to any restaurant experience I've ever had. Salute to the Garage! P.S. the corvette is hands down the best sandwich I've ever had in my own opinion! read more

No one would serve me soup. The place is generally divided into two sections: ready made food and made to order. The soup, however is in the made to order section, which works off slips submitted for sandwiches and wraps. Because of this, the employees in that section didn't pay any attention to the customers waiting there and only look at the submitted slips. After waiting there for 10 minutes and unable to get anyone's attention I went over to the ready made section. The employee there told me I needed to order soup in the other section, however. So after waiting a few more minutes I left without any food. If you want anything from the made to order section, be prepared to wait a long time. read more

I ate here a few weeks ago. We got cold heros. They tasted like any other average hero Ive had, nothing special. Yet it was very expensive, Over $20 for two heros and two drinks. Will not be coming back with those prices and just average food. But on a lighter side, the person working there was very nice. read more

This CA-centric spot is perennially slammed for weekday lunch, a large converted space inspiring the name but not much in the way of an appetite. They serve up a passable egg salad peculiarly set on poppy-studded roll, octo spilling over the sides in a messy rather than luxurious way. Alongside comes a decent fruit/pickle/side salad & brownie accouterments if ya fax/call in your order. PS: their pizza is borderline awful. read more

I work at a nearby business and I am impressed at the responsiveness and the happy personalities when placing orders at The Garage. They helped me place two days worth of catering orders cheerfully. They did not forget a thing and delivery was on time. The quality was good and the price was right. I would totally recommend The Garage. If I had more time, I am sure they would customize a menu for me, but as it was, I was able to pick off their regular menu and find all the things I needed. Great Service. read more

Been going to the Garage since they opened. Great deli food plus pizza. Worth the stop, large selection all fresh.

I recently hired The garage eatery for our company BBQ. The food was delicious and the staff did a great job making sure everything was ready on time and accommodated any requests. Them cooking onsite was a great touch. I would definitely recommend them for your next event! read more

The whole is less than the sum of the parts. Just discovered this place and have now tried it for two days in a row. Both times the service was exceedingly slow considering the number of staff and time of day (2 PM). Yesterday I had a hot pastrami with swiss on rye. This is a basic sandwich that any deli should nail every single time. Toss the rye in a toaster or on the grill, slice a pile of pastrami, top it with the cheese, drop it on the grill and cover for a few minutes. Stack it out, slap the brown deli mustard on and call it done. The best versions should have at least an inch of meat. This sandwich wasn't even close. It had maybe 5 slices of meat. Perhaps in North Dakota it would pass. Untoasted bread, unmelted swiss, good pastrami but skimpy and cold. A $6.00 Subway sandwich at best. All of this took about 10 minutes too. No records broken here. Today I chose a "Signature Sandwich" listed on their board. "The Continental" was hot roast beef with "melted" cheddar, and onions on a roll. $8.50. While waiting, I decided to add a Berry Protein smoothy for $4.95. Berries, yogurt, protein powder. The sandwich took so long I actually struck up a conversation with another patron. When it finally arrived and Iasked for the smoothy, surprise was not the reaction I was expecting. Apparently, smoothies are made by someone special. The person that delivered the shake shouted out the price to the staffer at the register. Payment is sort of like a cafeteria setup. The price, of course, was wrong at $5.95 "because of the added protein powder." Obviously, the staff had no clue what their menu stated. The signature sandwich was a major let down as well. Skimpy meat, no flavor, lousy bread. Today, I dined in. Everything in this place is sticky...seats, tables, countertops. I watched the staff "clean" a few tables while here. One guy used a dirty paper towel to wipe at select parts of selected tables. The next cleaner was a bit better but still cleaned only most of the visible crumbs. All in all, this place was disappointing. The only reason this place does well is because there is little or no competition and the bar is set pretty low. read more

The Garage - Sticky table - Delis Near Me - Islandia, New York

This is a great place to go for breakfast or lunch. The sandwiches are always freshly made. There are great suggestions off the menu or plenty of options to make your own creation. I've had The Corvette with a chicken cutlet, ham, cheese and substitute honey mustard for the Russian dressing. It is consistently a great choice and the ingredients are of high quality. There are also great selections of hot food like the macaroni and cheese, sausage and peppers or kielbasa and sauerkraut. If you're in the mood for some sweets, the selections of pies, brownies and cookies are great options. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The prices are a little high compared to other delis but you get what you pay for. read more

I work across the street at Gibbons Pools so I eat at The Garage often all I have to say is awesome. From pizza to cold cut sandwiches also hot dishes like honey mustard chicken, mac and cheese cakes and puddings for desert they have it all..even Chocolate covered twinkes Prices are easy on the wallet as well and you will never see a worker that is not smiling or unpleasant to deal with, wish I could give a rating over 5 stars. read more

Below average portions, average food, above average prices. Unfortunately the only deli convenient to me and a lot of others at work. Order is also wrong half the time even though you use sandwich order sheets that specifically say what you want as well as having the sandwiches written with clear instructions above the workers heads. read more

Been having lunch there nearly daily. Hot food servers last two times seemed confused. Today got the chicken stuffed with broccoli and cheese. Got 2 halves, usually get 3. Mashed potatoes last 2 times are pasty, soggy and like paste, what happened ? For this combo used to pay $7.75 now its $8.50. read more

Can be rough getting a seat during peak lunch time, but the food is good. I usually get the chicken cutlet with two sides, topped with some gravy. They don't skimp on the portions either. So i usually leave this place ready for a nap. :) CA employees get a discount, just show your badge to the cashier. read more

A huge sit down Deli. Pricey and off the beaten path.The employees are pleasant and quick. I guess the ingredients are a bit better as the food is better quality and not a huge quantity. Generally it's packed inside people come from all over. The Coffee is a bit weak and typical Suffolk County deli style- medium and lacking any robust flavor. They make their own baked goods and if you time it right you will catch someone zipping around with a platter for you to try samples for free. read more

This is a nice place to eat for lunch. It has a "garage" motif interms of the decorations; from the repair signs, miniature cars, car named food on the menu.... It's more than a deli, it sits about fifty people inside. Nice and clean inside and setup more like a fast food place interms of seating, than a deli. The staff wears gloves when they prepare your food which is nice to see (atleast today they did)... They serve breakfast egg sandwiches, pizza,deli sandwiches, hot lunch dishes, salads, etc. It's average interms of price for a lunch. Its going to cost you atleast $10 for lunch, but thats becoming average nowadays. All in all a good place to go for lunch, you can pretty much get what ever you want here..... I recommend this place if you work in the area.... read more

I work in the area and have been here a few times. on my last visit, I ordered a kale salad with a bunch of toppings. I had a few bites and there was clearly dirt in it. very gritty. not a very pleasant lunch. i guess they don't wash their lettuce/kale before they serve to you. read more

My business gets a catering order from the Garage every so often. This past week, we ordered a fairly large lunch catering order from the Garage. I just want to say that everything was handled perfectly. The food came at the predetermined time, the person who delivered the food helped set it all up, and the food itself was absolutely delicious. We had an assortment of sandwiches that were all very good, even the veggie eggplant sandwich was super tasty. We also got some fruit that tasted incredibly fresh. The potato salad tasted like I had died and gone to heaven. Whatever they are doing there at the Garage, please keep doing it. We'll keep ordering from you!! Highly recommended! read more

I have gone to the Garage many times, usually have to wait 10-15 minutes to get a sandwich with no customers even there, service is horrible. You have to fill out a slip to get a sandwich and than you watch 8-10 employees working there walk by you and ignore you, and than other customers come in and go to the separate hot food side and get served a hot meal before you, waited 20 minutes the other day for a sandwich. No customer service, guess they only care about there take out customers only, I have never been in a place like that with so many people working there and have been totally ignored, I watch people come out and look at the display case and look at you and ignore you while you stand there, even the managers and owner. After this last time will not be going back, have better things to do with my time. read more
