“As it says on my profile, a chicken cordon bleu sandwich with honey mustard sauce is my ideal last meal on earth, and I'm not kidding around.”

“His favorite was a turkey sandwich with Russian dressing, and soon I started ordering that too.”

“Pair with a large half and half, and a bag of munchos and your dining in heaven.”

  1. Disclosure: I know these guys.

    Not from anywhere other that going here for 20 years, but I got to know these guys pretty well.  

    These guys are real countermen.  I worked deli for 3 years in high school.  I know from deli.  I know to ask for my roast beef "trimmed close" so I'm not paying for gross stuff I don't want to eat.  I know the difference between half-sour, sour, and garlic.  I can slice ham so thin you can read through it.

    And so can these guys.

    Great mac and cheese and the beef stew they make can't be beat.  Scrambled on a toasted roll with ham and cheese at 6:30 am? Coming up.  Want coffee with that? Into a bag, napkins, fork, ketchup if you want and you are out the door.  Next.

    Seriously.  They serve good stuff.  They make their own salads and the like. They pay attention to what you want, they do it right, then pack it like professionals.  If only everyone worked like these guys.

    Cash only, kids.  Bring a little extra: they have Dr. Browns.  Who doesn't love a good cream soda with a ham on rye?  That's a rhetorical question, don't answer, just go.

  2. There's always a line here at lunch time and for good reason. The sandwiches are big and made like you want it.  I had the Turkey Club w. bacon and it was over 2" high and warm!  Its not fast, like us New Yorkers like it.  It takes them about 10 minutes to make your sandwich, so you stand there until they call out your sandwich or pick you out of the crowd to tell you, your order is ready to pay.  It seems most people here are regulars from the hood.

    The cons:   there are no price lists anywhere.  Menu and offerings are listed on boards overhead and you never know what they're gonna charge until you get your order.  Mine cost about $10+?  with chips and drink, you're prob. pushing about $15, which I think is pricey, but the sandwich WAS really good.  I guess they can get away with this in chi chi Manhasset. I've also had the regular turkey sandwich/tomatoes/lettuce and it came out to $8+.  I just like to know what things cost b4 I order.

    Another thing I don't like is that they have these specials, like empanadas or some other pre made food, that are set up on the counters that are about chest high, right in front where all these people stand, waiting for their orders.  The foods are not covered or anything, so anyone can cough or sneeze on them.  I never order anything on the counters.

  3. This was my first time at Manhasset Deli and it was a cozy little deli right on the main strip of the town and has a parking lot in the back which is nice.

    This is your full service deli with a big display of all their meats, sides, and pre- made sandwiches.

    I went for breakfast and ordered a bacon 2 eggs and cheese with over easy eggs it was good but they cooked the eggs through :/ so I am taking a star off for that. I also got a coffee and the total came to $7+  that is a little steep for what I got so I'm taking a star off for that.

    Pros:
    Only good deli in town of manhasset

    Cons:
    Unfriendly staff
    High prices

    2nd update:

    So I went back here and they cooked my egg sandwich correct this time but somehow the price went down when I order the same thing.

  4. Everything is fresh and delicious.  We especially like their roast beef and their potato salad.  Even when there is a long line it goes quickly.  Service is great.

  5. I love Manhasset Deli! Their deli meats are fresh, the salads are unique and the service is always quick. They only thing I wish they had was credit card service. Luckily there's an ATM in the front of the deli.

  6. have mixed feelings about this place. The quality of the ingredients was very high. But, the recipes are a bit unusual, and kinda of rushed together.

    Cons:
    CASH ONLY
    Steep prices for a deli
    Service is kinda slow

    Pros:
    Good portion sizes
    Nice decor
    Good location
