Homefront Deli

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.

I heard Jimmy is not there anymore, I’ll never go back there again. He’s the one that had everything under control, without him the place is in a state of confusion. Jimmy you will be truly missed. Good luck with your new adventure.

I’ve been searching for a decent Corned Beef sandwich in my new work hood. This one is darn good and well priced!

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.

went back to finally get their eggs which are one of their specialities.
I got the 2 eggs scrambled with bacon and American cheese on a toasted everything bagel.
I got the 2 eggs scrambled with corned beef hash and home fries with whole wheat toast.
The eggs are OK.

Came here during my lunch break. After reading many reviews I decided on the Athena Wrap. It was delicious.
It came in a standard wrap with chicken, peppers, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese and tzatziki white sauce. A little heavy handed on the white sauce (and I love sauce) but very fresh and filling. I hate half and was full so I disagree with some of the other reviewers who claim the portion is too small.
This place was much more affordable than others in the area and they take cards ($ 3 min). It’s not the prettiest place but it definitely got the job done.
I’ll definitely return to try other items on the menu.

Incredibly fast service, tasty food. Found it very handy for grabbing breakfast on the way to work.

This place is great on all fronts. Its super cheap, close to MetLife building where I work, the food was great (I had the Athena Wrap yesterday) and plan on trying more things in the future.

Tasty, cheap, and good service. I Got the Sierra Chicken Wrap as everyone suggested (and was not the only one in line getting it).
I work nearby and definitely plan to come back to try the breakfast.

Wandered in this morning. Got a cappuccino (the sugary machine kind) and an oatmeal with fruit. Prices were cheap. Credit card minimum is only $ 3 which was a welcoming change from most places in the city. Food tasted as expected.
I was super impressed with how well the employees knew their customers and how loyal and responsive the customers were to staff. This place had a small town feel, even though sitting right on the corner of Madison Ave in city. Nice change of environment from the busy streets.

Man. Awesome breakfast !! Jimmy remembers my order everyday. Greek omelette is really good and so is the french toast.
Def give it a try

Sorry, home fries lovers, this place let me down. Omelet was fine but the potatoes weren’t browned enough nor adequately seasoned. At least it was pretty affordable and everything was hot. Next time I’m skipping the potatoes. Just a block and a half away from GCT, so very convenient, if you missed your train, like I did this morning.

Great for breakfast. I got egg whites, grilled mushrooms, and ham on a roll. Excellent! Coffee is pretty good. People are friendly and service is fast. Prices are good.

Great, reasonably priced deli hidden in midtown east near grand central. Definitely recommend the roman hero!

My breakfast go-​to!
They’re quick, inexpensive and so tasty! The guy at the counter is the best, is on top of everything, he remembers everyone’s orders after just 2 visits– however he will always check to be sure u want to order the same thing before starting it. The line moves very fast and everything is always fresh and tasty! And way better prices than their Essen competition.

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.

Seriously best breakfast deli! Small and to the point. I miss this place so much now that I don’t work next door and can’t even find anything around me now that comes close.
My go to, bacon egg and cheese with a hashbrown hot sauce and ketchup. YUMM
The lines get long in the morning but they move fairly quickly. And the staff is super friendly plus they remember your order even if you’ve only been there once or twice.

This place is a classic, hole-​in-​the-​wall gem. The food here is pretty fresh and cheap.
If it’s your first time, you gotta try the sierra wrap. It’s pretty simple, but really solid. Chicken, bacon, pepper jack, onions and peppers in a delicious sauce. Worth every bit of the $ 7. It’s not huuuge, so if you’re totally famished, maybe not the best choice, but it usually fills me up.

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.

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.
