It's so far ahead of all delis and sandwich spots you've been. This is Long Island's gem. Five stars only is an injustice. It's one of the country's finest spots. It's what George Washington hoped for when he crossed the Delaware. It's what Qin Shi Huangdi believed would come when he unified China. It's what Moses split the Red Sea for. If aliens really existed, they'd be spotted here. If I ate one a day I'd gain 2 pounds a day and that's fine. I wouldn't care. 400 lbs? Ok. Bring it on, I say. Don't test me. As I sit on the John - Delta forcing out a few nukes - I think to myself... oh what a wonderful world. What a wonderful world I live in that I could experience the (and a) Gasm. The Anthony Kay. The Steven Matz. The Boone. The list goes on and on. The amount of underwear I've gone through from ordering the Gasm. Worth it. The M&M cookies on the counter that look at me as if I'm the newest bombshell on the island... oggling and boggling baby. The rumor is these guys churn out millions of cutlets a year. And that's just for me. - Sidebar: Weak sauce LB. Weak. Don't fall into the dad jokes just yet. Don't embarrass me in front of my people. Don't do it. - Anyways. As a poor young man(not that my circumstances have changed) I used to save up my measly funds for just one sandwich on the weekend. It would consume me all week and then I'd consume it in mere minutes. Every time me and my rapscallion crew would come we'd be certain that we'd eat half there and then eat the half later or save the rest for the week. Others had self control to stick to the plan. But I did not. And I'm proud of that. I'm proud of the man I've become. But not proud enough. For one day... one day... I'll go to Se-Port and I'll order The Linguini B. Only on that day, will I be allowed to die. To escape the brilliance of the world and head to the distraction of darkness. Until then - There is much to do. People to influence. Persuasion to persuade. Lust to lunge for. Sandwiches to feast on. The glory of Se-Port. I live a tender distance from this master factory of a deli; however, it's one of the few pieces in this world worth traveling a ridonk distance for. I will walk the Whitestone Bridge to be reacquainted. I would slosh around in the sewage of the Sound to make my way to this Mecca. I am currently working on my masters in astrophysics solely with the purpose of conjugating and coagulating a way to build the first wormhole - From my bed, straight to the parking lot of Seport. Few failed attempts, so far, but thankfully I'm not self-testing. Don't report me. Jokes on you... I'm closer than you'd think. Well. I'm sure you get my notes in the mail, so I'll wrap this up. One day, my love. One day, again, as we had it before. You and me, on the water, whisking the waves with the palms our feet. Our luscious hair sweeping the wind. Stopping time with the strength of our shared gazes. Our hands interlocked, just like our shared destinies. Yours tenderly and truthfully - LB.

It's a deli that has become extremely popular due to social media sharing…read more It is clean, there is plenty of space to sit and they have an immense number of specialty sandwiches that are posted on boards all around the counter. They serve hot food as well as standard sandwiches and they stuff the sandwiches quite a bit, almost too much. The service at the counter is always friendly when they take my order. The issue is, they are extremely overpriced. A bologna sandwich on a simple roll and a seltzer should not be approximately $20. The chicken cutlets are microwaved when they are ordered and they just aren't good and they are very pricy. Also, they don't sell drinks in cans, which would be a bit cheaper because a bottle of soda for $4 is just not fair. If you want a standard deli sandwich, at a reasonable price, I'd try a different deli in the area.

If I can do negative stars I would . So completely disappointed in you , John…read more Maple St. Deli has been a huge disappointment, especially considering it's within walking distance of my home. It's a quaint neighborhood deli with over 100 years of history, which is why I kept giving it chance after chance. I've ordered from this deli many times. They have frequently gotten my order wrong, but I never complained. I simply accepted it and moved on. On Father's Day, I ordered three egg sandwiches around 10:00 a.m. I arrived at 10:30 to pick them up and still waited another 15 minutes. After spending about $35, the order was wrong. Again, I let it go. Today was the final straw. I ordered two egg sandwiches and a small deli iced tea for delivery. The total was $33 before tip. The owner, John, delivered the order himself. He rang my Ring doorbell twice but never knocked. We completed the exchange without issue. When I opened the bag, the order was wrong--again. I called and politely asked to speak with the owner. I explained that my order had been made incorrectly. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, John hung up on me. I called back three more times, and each time either he or his staff hung up on me. I drove to the deli to speak with him face-to-face. His response was simply, "That's unfortunate," and he refused to remake the sandwiches or offer any refund or solution. Everyone makes mistakes. What separates a good business from a bad one is how those mistakes are handled. I wasn't angry about an incorrect sandwich--I was shocked by the complete lack of customer service, accountability, and basic respect. After years of overlooking mistakes and trying to support a local business, this experience has guaranteed I will never return. There are plenty of delis that appreciate their customers and stand behind their service. Unfortunately, Maple St. Deli isn't one of them.

The place also felt messy and unclean. Maybe the quality and cleanliness would have been better if I got food first thing in the morning, but I don't think I'll be heading back here anytime soon given the other options in the area.

So I made my way over there to try em out. Long Island really rapes you on a bacon egg and cheese, or at least this crap-hole does. Paid something close to $9 and it was god awful. I have a hard time believing this ever could have been good. I see 80-90% of the pix on here are from one dude three years ago, some look good n all, but this place is anything but. Hard pass.

Next stop on my tour was Joe's Italian Deli. The timing was perfect, as it had just started to rain…read moreand we needed shelter- and Joe's is very roomy inside, with seating for those who wish to eat in. The interior of Joe's is awesome, with the walls stocked with a great supply of Italian cooking fare. As you journey towards the deli counter you're immediately greeted with an offer to sample the fresh, house made mozzarella. Captain obvious pro tip: SAMPLE THE MOZZ To put it plainly, this was the best mozzarella I have ever had in my life, and I am someone who enjoys his mozz. It had a delicious milky flavor, was extremely smooth, and had a wonderful salt profile that took it to another level. It was truly amazing. I could go on about it forever, but in the essence of time... Our intent was to order 2 chicken parm heroes, but the man at the counter who gave us the mozz sample recommended the 'Brontese' and after reading the ingredients (Prosciutto diParma, fresh mozz, wild arugula, Sicilian pistachio cream, evoo, cracked pepper) I went for it. Needless to say it may have been the best deli sandwich I've ever had. The way the pistachio combined with the prosciutto and mozzarella-but didn't overtake it, was amazing. So to go along with my Brontese, we ordered a Chicken Parm, and a Bronx Bee (crispy chicken cutlet, hot honey drizzle, fresh mozz, sweet soppressata, hot cherry peppers, baby arugula) and loved them all. Outrageous value as sandwich prices are extremely reasonable. Awesome experience at Joe's. The staff was incredible...helpful, kind, and went out of their way to talk food with us. The location and atmosphere were perfect. And the food....you have to try it to believe it.

All in all, it's a great spot, and I can definitely see us coming back the next time we're in the area. The interior is classic Italian deli market, lined with shelves fully stocked with great Italian cooking staples. It's a classic, perfect neighborhood deli setup that gives you that local little Italy vibe. The Italian sandwich was really good--packed with ham, cotto salami, and mortadella, with incredible, well-balanced flavors. All on a tasty sesame seed soft roll. Even my daughter, who isn't usually a sandwich person, took a few bites! Prices are fair for what you get. The sandwich was so large, we saved 1/2 to eat in the Zoo later in the day. The staff was solid--helpful and kind. I was a little sad we didn't get the fresh mozzarella samples that a lot of Yelp reviews mentioned. The other minor downside was the wait: it took nearly 15 minutes to get our sandwich, which is probably the longest I've ever waited for an Italian sub. Still, a great overall experience. More importantly, the price to value "mathed!"
