Love this place. The owner PT is very friendly as are Jack and Isabella. The food is very flavorful and well seasoned especially the Cheeseburger and Philly Cheesesteak. I frequent them daily except on mondays when they are closed. I see many reviews complaining about the pricing but let's be fair here. $20 for a sandwich is not expensive when you consider that they pack their regular sandwiches with so much meat that It basically comes out to 2 sandwiches worth of food vs one. They also use high quality meats. If you don't want what amounts to 2 sandwiches of food you can order their mini sandwiches which are actually one well packed sandwich for cheaper than most establishments on the north fork charge for one sandwich. I met the Owner PT on my 4th visit to wayside and having read the reviews beforehand I can tell you he is anything but rude, a very friendly guy. It has led me to believe that the negative reviews about him and his prices are most likely coming from the snob enclave of the North Fork, AKA Greenport. If you want great food, good portions and being serviced by a staff that works hard and gives you bang for your buck then this is the place for you. If however you are a Karen who thinks flavorless food at cheap prices is more your style I suggest hitting up Cracker Barrel. read more

terrible in every possible way. sandwich took 40 minutes standing in the store and was not edible for a human. I'd rather starve to death. Don't go to this horrible deli. read more

I went in to buy 7 beef filets..not a cheap order ... but he couldnt prepare them yet- made me wait because he said he had to walk his little dog first ..then came back in / didn't wash his hands..then prepared my filets ... I was pretty grossed out.. will never go there again ... read more

Tried roast beef sandwich one more time today 5/16/26. Still very overcooked. Truly tasted awful and tough.

it takes time to do things right. The roast beef sandwiches are special, along w the Wayside Chix cutlet . worth the wait. thx read more

Excellent burger that is made fresh from their meat grinder right to the grill. You can taste the aged beef flavor in their high quality chop meat. Very rare for a deli to do this. I highly recommend. The steak fries were also excellent. A dying breed of French fries that is extinct at most establishments. This place knows good French fries. read more

PT is the best!! I ordered the wrong cut of steak by mistake and he changed the order and helped me choose the correct cut for my 14 person dinner party. Everyone at wayside was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable!!! I highly recommend and the quality of their meat is excellent! read more

This is a great family owned place that makes fantastic breakfast and lunch sandwiches that are so big that there is usually leftovers for another meal. The meats are fresh and the staff is very friendly. One of our favorite stops read more

Isabella made some fantastic sandwiches for our outdoor event. They were delicious and high quality sandwiches that held up in the summer heat. The gluten free vegan sandwiches flew off the table! read more

Sold me Cornish hens that expired in 2018 and were rotten. Wouldn't refund my money. They said it's not store policy to refund money. Wanted to give me a store credit. I won't be shopping there anymore read more

This is among the best beef you will find anywhere! Prime beef, dry aged and custom cut by an experienced butcher. Sure, you'll pay more for it, but it will quite likely be the best steak you have ever tasted, at home or out at the fanciest steakhouse. read more

To start this review a roast beef hero, a ham and cheese hero, and a small Bag of chips was $56 . The worst part about this place is the obnoxious owner and the rude and snide women working behind the counter. The young girl made fun of us because we ask for napkins, and basically told us we should read the sign. The woman behind the counter asked if there was any more changes to our sandwich before she wraps it even though she was the one who made the mistake with the sandwich in the first place. I live close by and will never go there again. It's a disgusting my "neighbors" are this rude. read more

Tea sandwiches and potato salad ordered for a small family group on Saturday. Lovely sandwiches that were hearty and delicious. Potato salad out of this world! Reasonably priced considering the quality and presentation. Highly recommended...... read more

This place is WAY overpriced for what you get I ordered 2 sub sandwiches, one chicken and the other chicken Parmesan and the cost was $42!!! For 2 sandwiches! They are big sandwiches, each big enough for two people but $21 per sandwich is beyond reasonable. The sandwiches were dry and tasteless. And, almost immediately after eating the chicken parm, I had terrible diarrhea. I will never go back there. read more

Stopped in here for a sandwich and wish I had looked at the reviews beforehand. The sandwich itself was fine but the cost was through the roof, $19+ for turkey and American cheese. The woman at checkout was rude when I requested a bag. Go to Grateful Deli or Sterlington Deli for a better price and experience. read more

Used to work in the area and always had a good experience at Wayside. It was my go to place for breakfast or lunch

The experience was awesome! Great people working here and making Hella sandwiches!! This place is on point! read more

Southoldwaysidemarket - Italian with roasted & hot peppers - Meat Shops Near Me - Southold, New York

STAY AWAY! I ordered 12 lbs. of sirloin tips. I was told the price was $25 per pound, which is a very high price. It was for a big birthday for my son, so I agreed to this price. When I arrived to pick up the meat, I was told the price was $30 per pound and they had packed 16 lbs. When I objected to the price and weight, I was told by an obnoxious man that "that's what it is". Since I had 23 people coming for dinner, I was forced to accept this outrage. The worst part was yet to come-- the meat was very tough and stringy! Bad meat & obnoxious owner--STAY AWAY! read more

I don't know what is going on with this place. I have tried them again and again and they have gone down hill. Last 2 times I ordered breakfast was wrong, even forgave them for an egg in my breakfast sandwich. I just decided to order lunch to give them another chance. What I got is inedible, I ordered a chicken caesar wrap, I got a bottle of caesar dressing with about 5 pieces of lettuce and some soggy chicken thrown in. The wrap by the time I got from southold to Greenport is completely soggy from the dressing and even if I attempted to eat this soggy sock of a sandwich it would be impossible. Sorry, I tried time and time again and that's it. Will definitely never return or recommend. read more

Southoldwaysidemarket - Eggshell in sandwich, ketchup I didn't ask for ! - Meat Shops Near Me - Southold, New York

See all

Ridiculously high prices. Not worth what they charge. I ordered a Turkey club hero and small potato sales at it was over $30?

I had the Wayside Market cater a lunch and a dinner for my weekend party. Isabella was wonderful and very easy to work with. The food was delivered each time on time and hot. The food was very fresh and abundant. I had ordered multiple platers and chaffing dishes and everything was prepared wonderfully and was delicious! All of my guests enjoyed the food and gave me many compliments. Wayside helped to make my party a success! It was outstanding value for my money. Nonna Mary read more

This is the best butcher on Long Island! The owner is beyond knowledgeable and knows his stuff! And the meat is top notch. Highly recommend!!! read more

Although the food is good, the women who helped us are the rudest people ever We phone ordered 2 - overpriced 3 foot heroes. No problem since I enjoyed their sandwich once before. The next day when I said we would pick up the order, the counter person told my son they had no such order and that they don't do phone orders. He left and came home. I called to ask what happened and the rude nasty woman lied with a reply to me that he came there late and that he left immediately. They lied to me twice, rather than tell me they were busy and running late with orders. I would have had no issue with that but proceeded to make me look bad. I asked them therefore to deliver since I was having a 40 person beach party. They told me they don't deliver and hung up on me. I would never step foot into this place again. They have they worst Customer service ever. My son said he has never been treated so poorly and will also never go back. In my opinion, food is way overpriced but can be worth it if you like being treated badly. Stay away read more

Very unpleasant experience. I never write reviews but was compelled by this revolting place. They had NO meats. No steaks no nothing. On a Tuesday afternoon. Owner gave no good reason and was quite rude. Got a gargantuan roast beef sandwich that charged 18 bucks. Really? I just wanted lunch. Mostly fat, thick slabs. Oh, and they're closed till Spring!! Disgusting food, place was dirty, false advertising. Parking area is ripe for someone getting run over. Speaking of running, don't even consider stepping foot in the place. read more

Great butcher shop ! Deli is the best ! Great selection !!! read more

Hours say they close at 5. We called at 4:15 and were denied sandwiches because they already cleaned the deli counter. Either change the hours or make the sandwiches. Bad way to run a business. Would have given more stars if we could have gotten service. read more

good food. agreed the prices are a bit high. but that's the price I'm willing to pay for knowing that they "back the blue" and support the NRA, per their front door. would've given five stars if there was a maga sticker or Russian flag. maybe next time read more

The arrogance of the owner is spectacular. Things have declined horrendously in recent history. Sandwich orders used to be perfect, now it seems ever order has an issue. Most recent order was completely wrong, called to let them know and the owner was quite skeptical but told us to bring them back. We did, but he quickly complained that he had to throw them out because of all the starving people in this country as if it was our fault. In an attempt to sound sincere with his apology it came across as condescending and rude. This places hasn't been the same since Billy left. read more

I went to the Wayside Market in Southold on Friday at about 2PM. I wanted to order a ham and cheese sandwich. There was a lady working behind the counter and she was filling an order for a woman at the counter. The two women appeared to know each other and they spoke non stop as the order was being filled. The counter lady was often distracted by the conversation as she made several sandwiches. After about ten minutes, the counter lady asked me what I would like. I gave her my order and she began to make my sandwich as she continued to fill the prior order. The two women continued talking and the counter lady finished two sandwiches and wrapped them for the other customer. At that point the customer said "those sandwiches are chicken cutlet, I ordered roast beef". The counter lady opened the sandwiches, took off the chicken that had already been microwaved and dressed with condiments and placed the cutlets back into the warming pan at the front of the counter with other meat for sale. My sandwich was still only partially prepared and I had already waited about twenty minutes. The counter lady began to make new sandwiches with the correct ingredients for the other customer. I left the store empty handed because of my concern about the safety of the food preparation at the Wayside Market. The store owner followed me into the parking lot. Among other things, he yelled to me "stick it up your ass". He said that I should go somewhere else and I took his advice. I went across the street to the Grateful Deli and got a ham and cheese sandwich in about five minutes. The fact that the chicken that had already been microwaved and placed on a sandwich with other condiments was then returned to the serving tray with other meat for sale, disgusted me. Being followed out of the store by the owner yelling obscenities at me was troubling. I suspect that the counter lady has not been well trained. I believe that if the owner, Pasquale Rutigliano, treats his customers with such disrespect, I can't imagine how he treats his employees. Please read other reviews of the Wayside Market and decide if you want to give them your business. I will not. read more

The owner of this store is one of the most overbearing, obnoxious people ever to run a business. He has taken the old adage "the customer is always right" and turned it into "the customer can baciami il culo (kiss my tuchus)." What a rude jackass. Even if he weren't blasting Fox News all day, I wouldn't go back; that was just the sh*t icing on the sh*t cake. Never again. read more

The owner PT is extremely disrespectful. I asked how much something cost and he started to attack me verbally saying that if I am asking about prices then I am in the wrong store. He continued saying that the steak I was inquiring about was 29.99 per pound today and that I should go to Walmart to buy my meat. There were several other customers present and only when another gentleman said something did he stop badgering me. He was unforgivably disrespectful and arrogant. As I read the reviews, it seems that I am not the only person that he has done this to. Not recommended. read more

This place is the freaking best. If you like your food then this is the place to go. Large portions, great meat cuts, tasty food and great customer service. I've been going here since I was in high school and now moved away. Anytime I'm in town I always make sure to get my meals here. It's a local place that I'm always craving for. Don't listen to the bad reviews on here, they're a bunch of BS. read more

I was recommended to go here by a few folks - unfortunately, I didn't have the same experience they did. These guys have a very nasty attitude, they are quite expensive for steak by the pound, you ask for a pound and they give you a cut that's 1.36lbs which they say is "slightly over". I had to ask if the guy ever took math in high school because 36% isn't slightly over. Sorry folks but... save your money and go somewhere else Avoid the nasty attitude these guys have towards customers THIS has been a review by Gaurav read more

Ok I saw reviews been passing by on the way home for years. I said let me by local. I ordered a tuna melt and soup. Soup was ok nothing to rave about. Tuna melt was gigantic. I should have know better. The guy melted the cheese on a tuna melt with tuna on it in a microwave. Tuna was warm and had a tangy taste. Bread was tought as of it being microwaved vs grilled. 10 usd for a huge but terrible sandwich. I normally give 2 tries if I have a bad experience and if improved try again and write a review. Not here as Htf u mess up a simple melt. read more

I've shopped Wayside off and on for decades. Their lunch and breakfast sandwiches are widely acclaimed for good reasons, although now I am gluten free so no more sandwiches. They have always had excellent meat but do have a reputation for being less than cordial except, maybe, to those they know real well. My wife went there several times and can't stand the butchers plus she paid way too much for a rack of lamb, but she should have asked how much before buying. Anyway, no matter, their beef (all grass-fed) and pork (all Berkshire) are top shelf. If you are looking for a "deal", this is not the place but they are generally 20/25% cheaper than Whole Food's comparable quality meats and there is nothing like a WF for 50 miles. I don't go there to socialize, so I don't care about the rest. read more

This is NOT the Wayside of old. The sandwiches and hero's are not what they used to be, the staff is rude and pressures their customers to buy more. No is no, don't you get that? I've been here three times this year and that's enough for me. Today they made my sandwich wrong, and when I asked about it, she lied to my face and said it wasn't so I took it home. Got home, wrong sandwich. She knew what she was doing, what a disgusting liar. And below quality junk sandwiches to boot! This deli fell apart and I won't be coming back anytime soon. I'm glad to take my business elsewhere. 1 Star. read more

thickest sandwich I've ever had! delicious. best homemade muffin seriously I've ever had. reasonable prices, nice staff, etc.

This place is great ! The Butcher Shop is Amazing and the Owner PT and the Staff are awesome !!!

What a run down place, customers are greeted with sarcasm and treated like shit. I watched as the owner treats his own employees like shit. Even loves to get political in front of other customers. Really sad how this place is ran with hatred and unfortunately taken out on customers. Poor hygiene, customers are not obligated to wear masks in this establishment exposing themselves to everyone inside of the store. 6ft apart signs on the floor and people are still close enough to each other to give kisses on each other's lips. Deserves 1 star at best and should have change real soon. read more

This is the best deli on the north fork of Long Island. I've been going there for probably around 15 years. They make very good sandwiches, they don't skimp on anything, and the prices have always been good. They've recently been renovated after a fire and it's actually much nicer inside. There's a little room to sit and eat, though this is mostly a deli for all the people working in the area. I personally like their chicken caesar wraps on whole wheat, roast beef, chicken parmigiani, or hot pork heroes. They are actually a small market though. You can buy very good quality meats, drinks, chips, or anything to make a good lunch. The grill does close at about 2pm though, so if you want something hot you should get there early. read more
