America’s Finest Deli

Food was good, prices are very fair, and the service was friendly. And they’re open late!

I ordered pick up here last week through Eat 24. My order was ready when I arrived 15 – 20 minutes from ordering. I got a chicken club panini and a brownie. The panini was delicious and the ingredients tasted fresh. The brownie, however, was very disappointing. It was more like flat chocolate cake with weird frosting. Not too happy about that but I’m glad it was my dessert that was mediocre rather than my main meal.
Today I ordered pick up through
, my order was ready when I arrived 25 minutes after ordering. This time I got alfredo romano penne with broccoli and a bottle of rose green tea. Their create your own pasta is a great deal ($ 3.99 base price, $ 1 for sauce, $.75 per add in), however, I question the quality of these ingredients. The pasta (I will upload a photo) was very disappointing. The texture of the «cheese» was questionable and everything tasted previously frozen and just not good at all. I feel like I should have went with vodka sauce instead, but who knows if that would have even been good. I’m not sure that I’ll be trying their pasta anymore after this. Sucks because the portion was pretty good for just under $ 6.
I definitely recommend this place for sandwiches and such, but stray away from their cheap pasta.

Not fancy but fast and good. This is a kind of place where one could eat everyday. They amount of people they are able to get in and out of here is amazing. Only a few tables to eat in as most people look like they take out. Made to order, fast and friendly.

I’ve been coming to this deli a lot and has fresh food alot of variety and the worker’s are nice.

Nothing to dislike here. Fast, friendly, clean, big variety and delicious. The lox bagel is a tasty classic. Fresh and flavorful with great portions.

The bread for the sandwich was oh so soft! The toppings were meager, not enough to fill an athlete’s stomach. Some menu items ran out. However, the mentioned is not keeping me from them as my go-​to-​choice for quality food.

I do not usually write a review of a restaurant. This place is a not only a good place to eat they aren’t the typical NYC attitude. My family of 4 had breakfast for less the $ 25 which is pretty epic in NYC. Then when I went to pick up the car from the garage my wife texted me she left her retainers at the store. I dropped her off at the store again within 10 minutes. The people working there gave her glove and helped her look through the trash. They even dumped a bag of trash on the floor in the back room to help find it. This place have fine upstanding people and I want to give them my thanks for helping my wife this morning. When I come back to NYC I will visit them again and tip heavy. This is truly a special place downtown. I want to give the guys that worked there more thank you’s! I enjoyed the hospitality.

Great chopped salads, the sandwiches looked good delicious too, and very nice and helpful employees!

I can up this review to 5, as the food is consistently good, affordable, and the service always friendly.
Their sandwich menu is consistently tasty compared to other local places. I distrust most delis and tend to stick with a singular sandwich (lest I ruin my whole day). But America’s won my trust after I monkeybarred across their sandwich menu and was pleased every time.
(DISCLAIMER: I am a sandwich SNOB. Like the aggravating kind. My friends hate me. Yall dont, though.)
NOTE: They also enable my regular addiction to Peanut butter-​Banana-​Protein shakes. This cut my 15 minute walk (30 minutes both ways) to Fulton Street for a soy/​almond milk base — America’s didn’t carry soy milk, but they soon stocked their counter with it and now I drink it too many times a week. I’ve also started ordering juices from them — they’re only a dollar or two more than the random stands around FiDi, but the quality is fresher.
If anyone health-​conscious or sandwich-​particular works in the area, put Americas on your radar. They are stocked with vegan snacks, juices, smoothies, and fresh veggies.

Good place for breakfast, where the locals go. Lox bagel and the pancakes were both delicious.

Bacon, egg and cheese coupled with the freshly squeezed orange juice is truly the finest around. Highly recommend.

Delicious lunch and catered fare, a noticeable cut above most NYC delis. I particularly recommend the philly cheese and avocado sandwiches. Great breakfast too.
And the staff is so friendly! Kind, thoughtful, and friendly staff is the hallmark of NYC delis, and America’s triumphantly upholds the tradition.

At last! Another restaurant in the area! I live close by and I’m glad we have another deli with many options at a reasonable cost other than Café De Novo down the block. I’ve been eating here over the last couple weeks, consecutive days (sometimes consecutive meals lol) to check out what they have to offer and I’m pleased. Awesome people, good food, great prices, many options and they make it easy to customize without hassle or added charges. My favorite is the Make-​Your-​Own-​Pasta option with protein for around $ 10 — can’t beat it!

I live in the neighborhood. I like this place and I met the owner, who is very nice. I am glad to see this place open up because that particular block doesn’t have much on it since Sym’s closed. I actually enjoy the deserts and apparently they are from Martha’s Country Bakery in queens. I don’t expect it to be as good as a famous desert place but for a quick deli is a great addition to the neighborhood. I have been there a few times since they have opened. I recently also tried the coffee here and enjoyed it… I like that they put the sugar and cream in for me and it was perfectly sweetened.

Had a chance to give it a chance today.
First glance, it’s clean and bright. Looks great to the eye and very appealing.
It’s been open for over a month so I was happy to finally stop in.
Those same eyes were elated when I saw the pastries and desserts. The first thing I spotted was the cheesecake. So I ordered that and went on my way.
I couldn’t wait to get home and finally eat it. To my horrific surprise there was mold embedded inside the cheesecake!!! MOLD! The place has been opened not that long so there’s no excuse for there to be mold inside the cheesecake. Are they not keeping an eye on the freshness? I think not! It just shows that everything is all shiny but not fresh! I’m really disappointed and I will not be going back. First impressions are everything!!!
I guess I have to stick to Juniors in Brooklyn premium cheesecake.
Such a shame, such a disappointment.
