Buddy’s Kosher Delicatessen
“I also recommend the matzo ball soup, a traditional Jewish favorite, it comes with a big matzo ball in a flavorful broth.”
“Smallish super casual (cafeteria feel) place so I wouldn't eat in, but I'll definitely come back for take out.”
“Luckily, my neighborhood deli, Buddy's Kosher remains The food here is excellent, the portion size is good and although the prices are high, they remain in line with other delis in New York.”

The closest Jewish deli to the neighborhood area. Matzo ball chicken noodle soup, what your mama ordered when you feel out of sorts. G was all out of sorts today so the request was answered in the form of the soup. Two small soups $10.00. I just think that is a bit expensive but probably not for New York rates.
G said the soup was good for what ailed him, but it was more of a need to have the soup vs. wanting to have the soup.
I would say ehh on most of the items here. If you need a real potato pancake, they have it, but the sandwiches are made with such small portions of filling you feel like you just got robbed once you bit into it. Who with the gun stole my meat.
Again, its ok, its soup…but pass on everything else. The cake too looks good, but they give you a piece so small again, stick up …gimme your wallet, here is your cake.
It's OK but there are better options. It also looked like a senior citizen convention inside.
The food:
The Blockbuster- I saw a Yelp photo and it looked fantastic. It's a standard knish with hot pastrami and mustard inside. The knish seemed pretty regular but the pastrami was just OK. I definitely have had better pastrami. I though the dish was pretty mediocre but way over priced for what it is. yelp.com/user_local_phot…
Knish- had the Buddy and the Knish Knosh versions. I really wish they heated them differently, I guess they used the microwave. They both had so much potential, but both came up flat. I've had Knish Knosh knishes from the actual store on Queens blvd and they are amazing, the ones here were different. The buddy one taste like home fries with a knish wrapped around it, meh.
Coconut cream Cake- this I did like. It was a nice moist yellow cake with a cream cheese type frosting with shaved coconut.
Lunch specials come with so much food I thought I was going to burst. It provided me with lunch for the next day. Friendly service, one of the only truly, "kosher delis" left in Queens. Sometimes you can find coupons in the local clippers sent around the neighborhood.
