Sandwich menu
Nancy K.

Stopped here for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! The staff was friendly and helpful. I was able to try their signature beverages, Yerba Mate which I personally liked all of them! Their vegetable soup is like what your mom used to make and their steamed sandwiches are unusual sounding, but the Reuben I had was very good! I loved the interior of the restaurant and especially liked watching the beautiful dumb waiter bringing food from the main floor to upstairs. Great Hamburg find

Firstly, it is impressively clean inside this establishment. Like, extraordinarily clean. The floors, the fixtures, everywhere you'd expect to see dust or evidence of cooking/eating, there is none. The building, outside and inside, is absolutely beautiful. We were asked if we'd been in before (we had not,) and we were offered samples of each of their signature cold drinks. Each one was delicious, it was hard to choose, but we decided on the hibiscus deli cooler and iced dandy blend. The sandwiches are made on fresh, store baked bread, and served warm. They were also delicious. The gentlemen/ staff we encountered were each very friendly, polite, and welcoming.

2nd floor seating & seeing the kitchen in action.

Get out of the way subway, jersey Mike, etc. Amazed when stumbled on this amazing sandwich shop. The delicious smell strikes you walking in. Great service. Great atmosphere with a most unique origin. Breakfast seems limited selection but lunch is well rounded. Tried the beef/brisket sandwich with 2 cheeses on a homemade onion roll. Good size portion & reasonable price. Nice to sit & eat, too.

They have a 2nd floor which can accommodate a large group.

What a sweet surprise walking up the stairs to this beautiful restaurant in Hamburg. We were met by a veteran staff and given a brief history of the yellow deli. We sampled some teas and a turkey stew. The food was very well prepared and delicious and even though we didn't have room for dessert, there was quite a selection. The yellow deli serves as best that they can, the freshest of ingredients and flavorful as well. A must go to in Hamburg NY, a place where you are greeted by comforts of home.

I found The Yellow Deli in Hamburg, NY on Christmas Day 2024 and I'm here again on Christmas Day 2025. My wife had died three months earlier and after visiting her grave at the cemetery in Hamburg I was looking for a coffee shop to relax around noon. The only place open was The Yellow Deli at 327 Buffalo Street and the second I walked in I knew I was in the right place. Being a deeply spiritual person I was intrigued by this line on the cover of their menu, "We serve the fruit of the Spirit. Why not ask?" So I did and I was beyond overwhelmed by the people who operate this amazing restaurant at cafe and by their Christian beliefs. I love their story and what they stand for. The Fresh Green Mate was to die for and it was so good I purchased a brick and use it nearly day. The Bristol Fillet with the wild Alaskan Sslmon was the best as were their soups, which I have every time I visit. It's a great restaurant, kitchen staff is superb and the people are top quality. I have and will continue to return.

I grew up in Southern California and went to the Yellow Deli in my hometown very frequently in my college years. And to my surprise, they opened this new location recently, and I was ecstatic! Wonderful team, very friendly, all staff was greeting me as they passed by. My waitress did a wonderful job, even let me sit at their trademark chair on the bar! Food was marvelous, reminded me of the same great taste from my younger years! Deli Rose is a great taste of great meats and fresh vegis on homemade bread and fresh chips. And their chili hit the spot on a cold winter day! Absolutely would be coming back more often! If you haven't seen this place before, highly recommend it! Especially during the spring/summer days when their patio is open!

The owners of the restaurant aside, I have to say this is a pretty wonderful little deli. The inside is made entirely of wood and feels like a fairy tale. Everything is really just so cute. All of their homemade drinks are really delicious. The food is also fantastic. I recommend the deli rose, village gobbler, and Buffalo blazer. All have been delicious. The muffins with a daily featured flavor are really tasty too.

We were driving through on a long trip & found this place researching on Yelp. Its ratings were…read morehigh and we were hungry for a good nice meal. We thought because we would be arriving at an early 5:30 pm that we would be seated fairly quick. Upon arriving the majority of the restaurant seating was empty, but we were informed that the bar open seating and our only option. Since there was no one else waiting, we decided to wait for two seats at the bar. As we waited, several other people came & also were waiting for one of the few seats. We waited approximately an hour for seats. Apparently the bar patrons like to go through every course on the menu & several drinks. So I'm thinking this place must be awesome to have to wait so long for a bar seat & the whole rest of the place having been reserved. However, we were not impressed, it was just okay. The bar staff does work really hard & has some very crafty drinks on the menu. My husband had the flatbread pizza & it was nothing special. I had the crispy ribs & they were barely okay. They lacked flavor & the polenta was like eating dry paper. It was hard to tell what on the ribs was crispy & possibly parts of the rib bones. The only thing that gave some redemption to the dinner was the key lime brûlée. The bill we got had a cab charge that we did not order and a $1.00 mystery charge. So this did not turn out to be the best meal of the trip like I was hoping.

Headed to the counter and showed the app, they said have a seat we'll get your bag ready. The place is cute inside kinda homey with little kiosk with stuff for sale. She brought my bag over and had a cup for coffee. She let me to the coffee station & I had the coffee of the day. I normally don't drink flavored coffee but it was real good, a nutty and creamy flavor combined. My bag had a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup and slice of blueberry crumble pie. The table by me had sandwiches that looked good, will definitely be back.

For those who have never been, there's two entry points; the front (from the street), is wheelchair friendly, while the back (from the parking lot) has some stairs. There are two single bathrooms available in this place. If you're dining in, you can order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. Regardless you need to order at the counter anyway. They always have a great selection of baked goods and coffee, plus specialty drinks on rotation. They offer light breakfast and lunch if you don't want just a coffee and pastry. They sell gifts and ground/bean coffee along with flavored syrups. For this particular trip, I ventured in to get lavender syrup (Torani). I treated myself to a specialty rotating drink (Hansel and Gretel frozen coffee - frozen coffee with gingerbread and white chocolate). I also purchased a blueberry muffin and a pumpkin cream cheese muffin (also a rotation dessert specialty). All were excellent, as par for course here. I don't hear at all but speak well, so the kind lady at the front grabbed a pad and writing utensil to communicate with me, which was very helpful and so we both were on the same page. It was very appreciated. Another reason I love this place, they're so accommodating

Upon arriving, the hostess told us that the outdoor reservation actually means nothing and its first come first serve for seating. So, that wasn't great. As always, the space was great. The rooftop bar was fantastic - great weather and a live DJ made it a really fun place to hang out on a Friday night. The bar upstairs didn't have as good of a cocktail menu as inside, which was okay! We ordered our food directly at the bar. Black Smoke used to have a delicious BBQ inspired menu. They have recently updated their menu, and I wasn't impressed. We ordered the Mac and cheese croquettes, the steak flatbread, and the chips and dip. The Mac and cheese balls were good but they were very heavily seasoned with Italian seasoning - it was a little overpowering. I had heard great things about the steak flatbread - steak, goat cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh spring greens. The flatbread arrived and was cut into these little triangles and was stacked on top of eachother and the spring greens seemed like they were cooked on the pizza instead of sprinkled on after. This made the flatbread taste kind of swampy and completely negated the delicious onion and flat cheese combo going on. If you got a bite without the spring greens it was tasty. The chips and dip were the one thing I had no issues with. The chips were thick and homemade and the dip was creamy, oniony, and delicious! Overall, the bartenders were amazing, the drinks were good, and the vibes were top tier. I just won't be back for dinner any time soon.

She needed a place to eat and as I was looking at her location I seen this wasn't too far off from interstate 90 where she was. Read her the menu options and she wanted mac n cheese. I called it in and explained that she's handicapped and I am ordering this for her. They were super accommodating and even brought the food out to her when ready. I surprised her with pretzel bites which she enjoyed. Her only real complaint was no utensils came in her bag so she had to wait to eat the mac. I had some when she finally came home, we reheated it the next day. I thought it was ok. I enjoyed toasting the pretzels in the toaster more. I'm sure a good dine in spot with a vibe but.
