"So I bet this place was spectacular in its heydey. This is an old school deli that is going the way of the dinosaur like many of the great delis of the past. When I pulled up I thought they were closed. There were only two cars in the gigantic parking lot and they were around back. I was meeting friends and I was early. I walked to door and they were open. You order at the counter and they will allow you to eat your order in dining room but there is no table service. I went with THE SUBMARINE. The menu said A MEAL IN ITSELF. And they were right! This thing is hefty and dense. It's a couple types of bologna with salami and I opted for the slaw and hot peppers. This is one fine sub! I also got some pastrami to go and they serve Dr Browns and Stewart Sodas. My dining partners got Devils Delight, soup, knockwurst (they were out of liverwurst) and German potato salad which is available hot or cold. They both liked all their food. I got a pound of sliced pastrami for the home front. It was top notch."

"Came to New York Deli because i was in the mood for a Rueben Sandwich. Not a lot of cars in the parking lot so we were skeptical. You walk in and its a full service deli. You order at the counter and they call your name when your order is ready. We were eating in so we grabbed a table, for lunch there are no waitresses, no big deal. Now about the food, it was awesome and the portion sizes were impressive. As we were waiting and eating we got a pretty good idea on how this place survives, it was constant traffic for pick-up orders and the phones were ringing constantly."

"Great classic deli. Out sandwich was massive, hit and fresh. We also had the shrimp salad, traditional potato salad, a pickled green tomato and bag of Toms’s chips.great price. Not currently allowing in-house dining but no biggie for us."

"As a Roanoke native, The New Yorker Deli has a special place in my heart. Their sub sandwich with slaw & hot peppers is what my family has ordered for decades- and it's reliably, delicious. The quality and taste never change - it's consistently amazing! Something we look forward to every time we visit home."

"So disappointed, I've been eating these subs since 1974. The last two times I ordered one of their famous subs, there was hardly any meat or slaw on the sub. I couldn't believe it ! When i took it out of the brown bag and foil, I knew right away something was wrong. The sub was lighter than a Subway Sub. Why would you mess with the sub that made you famous?"
