Manhasset Delicatessen

I have never had anything bad come from this deli. Almost everything is made in the small kitchen in the back. All the real meats (not the processed cold cuts) are cooked on premises — Roast Beef, Turkey, corned beef make for a great sandwich. Turnover is so fast food is always fresh. Try the homemade salads — not filled with preservatives like the crap you get in supermarkets. Soups are also great.

I love our Deli! It’s a true old-​fashioned type deli with an above average selection of delicious food. Yes there may be a lot of customers in there when you arrive (and why wouldn’t there be?) but there’s also a large staff of pros behind the counter so it doesn’t take long to be served at all. And now when you’re really pressed for time you can text in your order!
Also, these guys have helped raise money for many local causes and have been supportive of our school activities.
I’m happy to give them 5 stars!

I have been coming her for over 25 years. There is always a line and always a lot of help. I never have to wait more the a minute. I really enjoy their Tuna sandwiches. I am living in CT now but, when ever I come back to visit I have lunch here.

The chicken cutlet sandwich was to die for! Amazing sandwich enough for two people. Don’t forget the Russian dressing!

Your average deli with above avg. prices. The staff are friendly and the place has a good reputation in the community. The food is good but the portions could be a bit bigger on the sandwiches for the prices they charge. They only accept cash.
All in all I’d recommend them over the other Deli’s in the area by far.

After reading the Unilocal reviews I stopped by the Manhasset Deli for lunch. I noted two problems about them. First everything is to go, no where to sit and eat. The second problem is the selection. Too many great choices. It probably took me 10 minutes to decide what to have. Everything looked and smelled great. I finally settled on the tuna on white bread and was not disappointed, the tuna was awesome. I can’t wait to return to try some other selections. The staff was very friendly.

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 décor
Good location

really nice Deli In Manhasset
Always full, but if you know when to come you are in for a treat
One fo the best sandwiches Ive had this past years
Will come back

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
2^nd 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.

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.

Best sandwich and cold cut spot in Manhasset. No need to go anywhere else. — 2 eggs, bacon and a hash brown patty on a whole wheat roll with hot sauce.

This place has great food. The staff is very friendly. I would say that this is one of the best delis in Long Island. The food is always fresh.

Has the most delicious Italian panninis I’ve ever had. Seriously amazing. The menu is and the store is a little cramped. But that’s the price you pay for such great food.

Solid deli, friendly staff and fairly quick even when busy. But far from «best ever» or «best deli in LI» the breakfast eggs are okay. The chicken noodle soup wasn’t even Luke warm and the chicken pieces looked suspect. The Consultant is pretty good besides the bread they put it in. I’ve been here a fair amount of times when I’m in Manhasset it won’t blow you away but at least they don’t have Bill O’reileys books all over the counter like Orlando’s Deli down the block. They do have some hot food that looks pretty good but I’ve never tried it. Keep your expectations moderate and you’ll be happy.

Best deli on Long Island!!!
Great coffee and staff is very detailed with each order. Tom takes pride in his business… I am sure they will receive landmark status soon…

The meats are Boar’s Head & other mainstream brands, the salads generic, for the most part… in other words, this deli is average, despite so many great reviews. I ordered a chicken cutlet on a hero with melted mozzarella and it was quite satisfying. But I’d be exaggerating to rate it the *best* of anything. The accompanying bean/​chick pea salad was good too. My friend ordered a ham & American cheese hero, which is probably the same in countless similar delis. His potato salad was dry and uninaginative; again: generic.
It’s obvious this place has firm roots in the neighborhood and has a community outreach presence, which I admire (an extra star for that). The guys behind the counter are friendly and accurate with orders. And you will probably get a decent sandwich here. Best to keep it basic, and keep expectations in check.

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.

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.

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.

I’ve been here several times over the course of the last 7 months and I have yet to be disappointed. My favorite sandwich is the Wall Street Ruben, which is fantastic. I love Rubens and try them nearly everywhere I go. Take my word for it: this is one of the best out there.
They also have a large variety of chips, soda and deli stuff like potato salad, macaroni salad, etc. Several Entemann’s products can be found, including the black & white cookies, which are fantastic.
I’ve met the two owners Tom & Kenny and they are good dudes. Stop by for a sandwich, you will not regret it.
Pro Tip: The deli is a short walk from the Manhasset LIRR station and is cash only.
