Right across the corner of Rufus King Park, Matty's is, unfortunately, one of the better places in the area to grab lunch if you work nearby. It's a deli/convenience store, so you can find the following: a huge selection (7 fridge displays) of bottled beverages/sodas/juices/etc, tons of chips, candy, granola bars, Hostess cakes, gums, mints, and junk food in general. In addition to that, they also sell sandwiches and salads. A meat and cheese sandwich on a roll is about $4-5 and for $1 more, you can get it on a huge ass hero, which is totally double the size. Lunch and dinner? I think so. I believe they also sell some hot food like french fries, but I haven't gotten that adventurous with this questionable place.
With the new awning and recently reorganized shelves, you get the appearance that the place is sorta clean, but not really, but better than the other places in the neighborhood. The place is packed during lunch at noon on weekdays. You'll get the normal people who look like they don't belong in Jamaica, and then you get the crazies who are the kind of people you wouldn't want to be stuck with on the same subway car.
If you're desperate, a foreigner to Jamaica, or just kind of hungry and feeling scared to be in the neighborhood, go to Matty's for a sandwich and snack. Then at least you won't be hungry.
Morning breakfast at it's best, fast, fresh, and cheap.
Cooks were fast in taking my order and punching it out within minutes. I was out the door in under 5 minutes.
$2.50 for Egg and Cheese on a roll. Rolls were fresh and soft, eggs cooked perfectly and cheese still oozing out.
Good spot to get some sandwiches during lunch or breakfast.
