| - I have been here a few times in the past and decided its time to put in a review. Used to live out here near the Lakes area and passed by this place on the daily. One day we decided to drop in after a co dub told me how he loved the place. Can't quite remember what I had, maybe the Brooklyn, but the main squeeze went the the soft shell crab sandwich. "Buggah wen broke da mout..." Since then I went there for the lobster Stromboli that was delish...especially with the butter sauce that accentuates each bite with gooey goodness.
The last time I decided to go and bring a bunch of us from the office since it was my Bday...shhhhh, I didn't tell them or else I would have went bananas ordering everything in sight...uh yeah that sign and register, go ahead and throw that in the trunk, that butcher saw for sale??
This go around I went with the Innwood Triple Decker sandwich. Like most NY Deli sandwiches it was packed with meat including corned beef, turkey and roast beef. But aside from places like Bagel Cafe, where you get eye popping meat but hardly anything else besides bread. The Innwood was served with cole slaw and Russian dressing, making it a hit.
Portions are large and made to order fresh. The place includes tons of ingredients and other goods that look authentic to the motherland or the East-coast. Ever heard of Birch Beer?? This was the first place I seen it.
The staff is friendly and provide that NY feel. The place looks like someone could get wacked at any time. Definitely a favorite for those from the region. So either hot or cold sandwiches, entrees, pastas, etc. are just some of many offerings.
The deli serves fresh meats and sides as well. Mad peeps would come in just to pick up a pound of potato salad or prosciutto. The salads looked pretty good and what is a NY Deli without pizza? Pizza comes out fresh made to order as well. The only thing I suggest, get the Stromboli or pizza pre ordered, otherwise that bad boy takes a minute to get out.
I have yet to go back to try other dishes that I couldn't bang on the first couple times, let me know how they are if you tried them already. Oh yeah, check in order gets you a free cannoli...yum.
Here is the online menu
