Homefront Deli
“I usually order the chicken creaser wrap or the Athena wrap, they both are really good and for about 7$ and change, they are pretty big as well.”
“If you're near Grand Central and looking for fast, affordable and tasty take-out food – hot or cold – I recommend this place.”
“they'll make almost any sort of breakfast you can think of, and they don't charge too much for the extras.”

In midtown it's so rare to get a chopped salad for under $10, but at this deli, where there it's never a line, you can choose one meat and six vegetables with your choice of lettuce chopped up for $7.60. I mean I don't know where you can find a better deal. Not to mention you are served with a smile .
I used to work on this block many moons ago, but I still think about it from time to time. This little tiny place is always jam packed at lunch time. They have a great assembly line setup though so you're usually in and out relatively quickly.
The pricing here was pretty aggressive given that it's at an odd location… one block away from grand central, but this spot doesn't get much foot traffic. I absolutely loved their reuben sandwiches… one of nyc's best kept secrets in my opinion. The hot pastrami was pretty good here but their corned beef shines.
When I got on a health kick, I got their grilled chicken wraps on a daily basis and occasionally would splurge and get the Sierra wrap. I was never a big fan of their potato or macaroni salad….but I don't like that sorta stuff in general.
In the rare occasions that I got breakfast, I always walked away with a huge smile.
Homefront Deli definitely gives you more bang for your buck in overpriced Midtown. At a little over $5, I got myself a pastrami on rye sandwich that is leaving me full and happy. It was a little bit greasy, and of course nowhere near the thick-cut slices served up at Katz's or Carnegie, but it makes for a satisfying lunch. The line also moves really quickly during lunch time, so that sandwich moves from counter to tummy in no time.
Great, reasonably priced deli hidden in midtown east near grand central. Definitely recommend the roman hero!
Very convenient deli down the block from my job. Ordered my sandwich and was in and out in no time.
Nothing really special to write home about, the sandwich was good, the bread is ok, a little on the "getting stale" side but hey, they've been in a bin all day.
For the price, convenience and small amount of time it takes, I'll definitely be back.
Sometimes I do stop by at Homefront for my Gyro or Sierra Chicken wrap. I also like that they have more variety now like the skirt steak, which I will try soon.
The staff is very friendly especially the chef with the mustache.
I love this place! I can't believe I didn't review it earlier. However ,the only thing I've ever ordered from here is the Greek Salad with chopped cihcken on top (at least 3 dozen times) This salad is enough for 2 lunches in theory…that is if you can stop eating it. Mouth watering!!! You don't need extra salad dressing. This place is perfect for grabbing some grub and heading to Bryant Park on the nice days.
A few coworkers said that the corned beef is pretty good and the burgers are awesome!
My only complaint is the lack of desserts, maybe some cookies? Or some pudding in the fridge??? Then it would be perfect!
Today I ordered the chicken greek salad at 12:55pm. They arrived at my office at 1:02pm. My office is only 3 blocks away, but JEEZ!!!! that is fast!
They have the best egg sandwiches in the area. And their bacon steps are not paper thin like some. The line also moves pretty fast.
For lunch, they have great deluxe sandwich deals that come with French fries.
