Jacks Meats & Deli

The philly cheese steak was great! and the service was good. The owner was nice. The only reason I gave four stars is because of the potato salad: it was decent at best.

Great place to buy sandwiches to take hiking the gunks.

Overall, didn’t love the atmosphere of this place. although it wasn’t terrible. I got a turkey sandwich that was mediocre. I would definitely go back here for other reasons, like buying a bottled drink or something but most likely not for a turkey sandwich, also the service is slow. I also noticed that that they have a card minimum… which is such an inconvenience as it’s the year 2015…

Food is decent at best. Woman making sandwiches is about as rude can be and pretty dirty looking. Will never return solely because of woman making sandwiches. Slow slow slow_​rude rude rude

I’m not sure about anything else, and I am not and have not ever been big into meat, but a breakfast sandwich from Jack’s is like heaven on earth. Seriously. If you’re ever in New Paltz, go to Jack’s and order two eggs and cheese (and bacon/​sausage if that suits you) with, this is the important part, a hash brown on it. Your life will never be the same. I wake up every morning wishing I could eat a Jack’s breakfast sandwich, but I live just too far away. You’re welcome.

Great food and love the organic choices. The man behind the counter is super nice! I’d give this 5 stars but there is nowhere to sit and eat.

Sandwiches very hit or miss. Sometimes they’re loaded with meat, sometimes they’re skimpy. I’ve become a little sketched out by the sanitary conditions here (blood collecting on the trays with the meat on it, sarran wrapped leftovers from God knows when). It ain’t terrible, but you can do better.

Just visited Jack’s for the first time. I picked up two 8 oz organic filets. Probably the best two steaks I have ever grilled. They were 24.99 per lb. In line with what I would expect to pay for organic filets. Looking forward to trying the NY strips next.

Great place to stop for breakfast and lunch sandwiches when en route to the crags and the trails. The fresh and frozen local meats are great. They stay open until 8pm on Saturday so we were able to stop by on our way back to NYC and buy good quality meat. I like the mix of staples — milk, newspapers, ramen noodles — and gluten free cookies, local salsas and spice mixes, and meat. The staff are helpful and chatty in a dry way. They have an ATM in the store.

Decent selection for the convenience. However, you may pay for that convenience on certain items such as gallon jugs of water — $ 2.50! I remember paying less for gas only a few years ago.

I stopped in on my way to a hiking excursion at Mohonk Mountain House. I was happy that there was parking right in front, and that it was not busy because I hate being that person in the deli looking at their menu to see for specials only to go with an original sandwich. I have to agree Terence’s review regarding the roast beef. I got a basic roast beef, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise on a roll. My wife got a ham and cheese sandwich. I would have gave it 5 stars however as others have said the service is just not the energetic piece that you receive at other delis. If I lived in the area, I would love to try some of their fresh local meats. Anyways, the sandwiches were amazing and the bread super fresh! Will definitely get another sandwich from here if I have to go hiking again with my wife.

This place rocks. I’ve been coming here for years.
It’s the best deli I’ve ever been to. They can tell you where (and when) every piece of meat came from. Most of their meats are organic and free range. They serve exclusively organic poultry. Their case products (hummus, grape leaves, etc) are also pretty spot-​on.
To respond to some of the other reviews: The sandwiches are NOT hit or miss. The place is NOT dirty.
The service is gruff? It’s kinda part of their shtick. If you notice, the regulars always go in there and jib-​jab insult the staff and then get insulted back. It’s that kinda place. All in good fun. Abdoul, Abe, Jenin, and James are all very cool once you get to know (and talk trash with) them. :-)
So, you might say that they are there to make amazing sandwiches AND discuss politics.

This place is DISGUSTING! My lady and I saw not 1 but 2 rodents running around on the floors. Some of the bread had mold on it and while I can’t speak for the meat it definitely turned me off to this place.
Buy your deli needs elsewhere!

Better than your average deli. Haven’t bought any of the meat for my own cooking, so I can’t speak on that.
The service is a bit… gruff? I don’t know, just not friendly. But who cares, they’re there to make a sandwich not discuss politics. The sandwiches are a little hit or miss, but definitely more hits than misses. The roast beef here is fantastic, and you really can’t go wrong with that, some chedder, salt and pepper, and some horseradish sauce.
Prices are a little high for pretty much everything, so that’s a little annoying. My suggestion would be to get the sandwich here, and stock up on drinks or chips somewhere else.

I am also a big fan of Jack’s Meats and Deli. They cram an UNBELIEVABLE amount of quality food in that tiny space. I could live forever on their turkey meatballs alone!
Abedul always seems to be expanding his business to include more and more and more. There really is no reason to shop anywhere else on Main Street!

This crowded little deli and meat market is one of the best places around to buy meat. They feature a lot of grass-​fed and organic meats, including more unusual meats like ostrich and buffalo. The guys who work there are abrupt, but nice, and they make a mean sandwich. There’s also a decent selection of beverages and other grocery items.
