Toasties

Food is very good, quick, customer service could be better. I had the tuna melt on a hoagie with provolone cheese and it was the best. Bread nice and crunchy, tuna had the right amount of mayo, definitely going back again!

DFFF (delicious, fresh, friendly and fast) had an egg sandwich with egg, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and avacado.

Toasties is a pretty good deli chain in NY. Be careful with the sandwiches, some can be real gut busters. There was construction forever, and the lines were crazy at lunch, so I avoided this place for a while, but now things appear to be running more smoothly.

A lovely chain of Delis in NY, this place is in a great location post or pre or during shopping on 5^th Avenue or Madison Avenue. I wandered in here as I was waiting for some of the shops to open on a Sunday.
A range of available options — omlettes, bagels, granola etc etc. My favourite bit had to be the coolers of iced coffee. The guy ahead of me had an iced vanilla coffee, which I decided to copy. The coffee was really refreshing and not bitter, which many iced coffees can be. My granola was yummy and really filling. Pay at the counter and then head to the back for a seating area. My granola got a paid sticker on it, to indicate that I hadn’t stolen it!

Went there for late lunch to have some sandwiches and it was great! If you want a quick and cheap lunch go there.

Had a lovely, confusing, loud and utterly tasty New York morning. The breakfast from this place made it even better. Had the egg on a roll and a breakfast platter to share with my travel companion.

My husband and I came here looking for a quick lunch while on vacation. He had the French toast and said it was okay.
I ordered the roasted vegetable salad. It was a huge portion and I ate about half if it. Within 20 minutes of eating, I got violently ill. Definite food poisoning.

The food is nothing to brag about. Would rate it as average. Though service is great, staff is very nice and pleasant and the place is super clean and organized.

Great place for breakfast, quick lines, good tasting food, reasonable prices.
Ample seating
Nice staff

OMG! This place was great! The service is fast and the breakfast food was great! I had the healthy wrap and it hit the spot! Also the Greek omelet is delicious!

a very simple, basic, quick breakfast joint when you’re in a rush or just need something convenient
the food wasn’t extraordinary or mind-​blowing, nor did I expect it to be. everything was good though!

A decent lunch place in Midtown East.
I was recently scoping out new lunch spots and came across Toasties on the Unilocal app. I decided to give it a go since I wanted to try out a place that offered both sandwiches and salads. The line to order was long but moved fairly quick. I ordered a spicy grilled chicken on pita. Waiting for my order, after I paid, took a while. People were constantly checking the time since the food seemed to be taking forever.
I brought my food back to the office and while it smelled good, it tasted just okay. My pita fell apart from the heaviness of all the ingredients they used. The chicken wasn’t bad but definitely wasn’t the best I’ve had. Overall, Toasties is an okay place if you want something basic… Just prepare yourself for a hefty sandwich.

Not what we expected for BFast but it is safe place to grab a bite to go or to sit down cafeteria style.
Pretty much order form the counter, pay at register and wait for your food in a plastic container. We had a bagel with ham and egg and strawberry pancakes.
Good value for what it is.

I loved this place because it was really nice and really clean.
They have a variety of food.
I had a tuna melt, it was $ 8 but it was really big so I shared it!
Nice and affordable.
Definitely coming back!

Love this place! I have always wanted to try bagel sandwiches and this place is the perfect place to get them. I had the Dory’s Catch on a plain bagel and it was divine! They gave me an abundance of salmon, which was amazing. Their bagels also were so good! I think they add a little bit of honey or sugar to the batter because it is naturally sweet! This place is great for breakfast or lunch– and I definitely recommend it.

In midtown for an early morning event at Radio City Music Hall. Hard to find a place for a good breakfast that is open at 8 am. Stumbled upon this place with the help of Unilocal!Wow! Nice clean atmosphere, amazing food, fast service. Soups, salads, sandwiches for lunch. Breakfast a good menu and great H&H bagels. Great fresh orange juice. If I worked in midtown I’d be eating here frequently.

So around 530 I ordered to this location via Seamless and went to pick up at the wrong location: v
The place closed at 6 so i gave them a call and explained and they said no problem we will have it ready for you. So I ran over there, and by run i mean I walked slowly while attempting to read google maps so I dont miss it.
I had the Spicy Pastrami which was good! They put a good amount of meat and it was soft juicy and tender with a spicy chipotle sauce. I’d probably go again and hopefully make it there first try.

*Queue Biggie’s ‘Sicker Than Your Average’*
Really, Toasties is a much needed improvement upon your average sandwich from a New York bodega. The product is a bit fresher, and there’s way more options. The system of ordering, while confusing for the first time, is very efficient and works well for those in a rush during the lunch hour in midtown.
While Toastie’s is not your destination sandwich joint, it’s reliable. And who doesn’t love a reliably delicious sandwich?

Some co-​workers and I stopped over for lunch and I had an enjoyable sandwich.
Décor: It’s a Toasties, so there isn’t much that can be said here. However, it does get crowded at lunch and therefore figuring out what line you’re standing in can be a bit tricky. Also, there is a handful of tables, if you want to stay and eat, but you basically have to get lucky with someone leaving at the time you want to sit down.
Bathroom: I’m not sure if there is one available for customers.
Staff: They guy that made my sandwich was rather quick and the cashier was helpful for a n00b like me (patiently waiting as I grabbed a bottled drink).
Food: I had a pastrami sandwich (which was actually pretty tasty and a decent size for the price) and a bag of chips with a bottled drink.
Value: You pay about what you’d expect for a chain sandwich place. And the food is decent so you only feel like you’re overpaying by just a dollar or two.
It was a fine experience and sandwich, something new for me, but I won’t be placing this into the normal list of lunch spots as it really didn’t «wow» me.

Toasties is your run-​of-​the-​mill overpriced midtown deli — nothing to run across town for, but irresistible only for its convenience. If you work at 488 Madison, you can also ask the security guard about the not-​so-​secret door that leads you directly to Toasties without having to leave the building!
I use seamless (by googling «Toasties 51») to check their daily soup menu, and make the trip downstairs for lunch when they’re serving the creamy Corn Chowder or Spicy Kale with Tofu options.
Their sandwiches are made extremely fast and fresh, and I love the eggplant parmesan on whole wheat bread with avocados for $ 1 extra (you know, to make it healthier!)
They have well-​stocked shelves of potato chips, but they often run out of the Deep River low-​sodium kettle-​cooked chips I lean towards (when that happens, I usually just «settle» for barbecue.)
I’m not really a salad person, but next to the salad bar they serve a hot lunch buffet. Their mac and cheese will usually hit the spot for a comfort-​food craving but it’s CREAMY not baked, and the cheese tastes like processed American (not cheddar, gruyère, or any of that fancy stuff!)
