Matty’s Deli

Morning breakfast at it’s best, fast, fresh, and cheap.
Cooks were fast in taking my order and punching it out within minutes. I was out the door in under 5 minutes.
$ 2.50 for Egg and Cheese on a roll. Rolls were fresh and soft, eggs cooked perfectly and cheese still oozing out.
Good spot to get some sandwiches during lunch or breakfast.

Literally one of three places to get decent food in Jamaica, NY. Both hot and cold lunch is served as well as breakfast.

Only because I work in this area.
Matty’s Deli is a convenient place for me to buy lunch while at work, which in this case is a nightmare between the hours of 12pm and 2pm. Expect a long wait during these times because it is a popular lunch choice for the professionals in the area. I find that they make mistakes when its crowded due to trying to get the rush of people out, so if it is busy when you go I recommend keeping your order simple (or call ahead). They have an excellent selection of snacks (I LOVE SNACKS) and the staff is pretty friendly. Its one of the cleaner deli’s I have seen especially for Jamaica. My personal favs from Matty’s is the philly cheese steak and a grilled chicken salad with all my favorite fixings.

Right across the corner of Rufus King Park, Matty’s is, unfortunately, one of the better places in the area to grab lunch if you work nearby. It’s a deli/​convenience store, so you can find the following: a huge selection (7 fridge displays) of bottled beverages/​sodas/​juices/​etc, tons of chips, candy, granola bars, Hostess cakes, gums, mints, and junk food in general. In addition to that, they also sell sandwiches and salads. A meat and cheese sandwich on a roll is about $ 4 – 5 and for $ 1 more, you can get it on a huge ass hero, which is totally double the size. Lunch and dinner? I think so. I believe they also sell some hot food like french fries, but I haven’t gotten that adventurous with this questionable place.
With the new awning and recently reorganized shelves, you get the appearance that the place is sorta clean, but not really, but better than the other places in the neighborhood. The place is packed during lunch at noon on weekdays. You’ll get the normal people who look like they don’t belong in Jamaica, and then you get the crazies who are the kind of people you wouldn’t want to be stuck with on the same subway car.
If you’re desperate, a foreigner to Jamaica, or just kind of hungry and feeling scared to be in the neighborhood, go to Matty’s for a sandwich and snack. Then at least you won’t be hungry.
