It's almost always open (except super late at night) and the same guys are always servicing the counter and are very friendly. I love coming here for a late night fix that is beyond affordable. Keep in mind that at this price point, you aren't getting anything fancy! It's simple, good food. FOOD: Chicken over rice: a very solid option, one of the core offerings of halal carts. Can't go wrong. $6, easily lasts two meals! Pro tip: if you like spice, ask for the "extra spicy red sauce"! (Bacon) cheeseburger: great choice. Get the deluxe option, comes with fries and a soda. I love their curly fries! Crispy chicken sandwich: also super great. The chicken is juicy and filling, and the sandwich alone is only $3.50. Can't be beat. Chopped cheese: ok, THIS is the holy Grail. If you are a New Yorker, you need to try this. It's an iconic NY sandwich originating in Harlem and the Bronx and only the truly authentic bodegas do it right. This place does not disappoint. Come experience the underrated icon of NY. (Oh, and gotta get it on the hero, you'll thank me later) Tip: everything is customizable. Prefer pepper jack cheese on your burger? No problem. Onion rings instead? You're the boss. A neighbor of mine mentioned he switched out chicken tenders for the chicken over rice. Game changer. Give it a go, you can't go wrong. Thing to note: they have short breaks where they close the shop to pray. I think it's around 9pm-9:15pm everyday. You can call ahead to check, order, and walk over to pick up. All in all, not only is this a great shop, I think it stands a head above other bodegas given the selection of food, service, and their adorable cat that roams around the shop sometimes. Check it out :)

Food: 4/5 With a great variety of deli classics and piled-on…read morespecialty sandwiches, Wise Deli & Grocery, makes for a great neighborhood option for a bite to eat. We explored both ends of the spectrum in our visit. My wife had the turkey on a roll which was delicious as expected. It was also nostalgic as it brought up memories of New York Public School field trips. I had the BK-9 sandwich - spicy grilled chicken, chopped curly fries, beef bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayo. It was pretty decent but I would go for something else next time ... like the chopped cheese. Service: 5/5 Service is friendly and prompt. They extend the extra effort in getting your order right and serve up the food nice and hot. Well, unless its a cold sandwich. Ambiance: 4/5 A major step up from your neighborhood bodega while still retaining that Brooklyn charm. It's comfortable and clean. No cats lounging on the bread.

This deli has to be one of the best I've visited in New York. Not only was the vibe of the spot…read morevery nice, they also keep it very neat and clean. The service is impeccable--you're greeted with smiles and very kind interactions. And then the selection of drinks are the best I've seen and experienced in New York--they have drinks I've never seen in other spots, like better flavors and choices. AND THE CHOPPED CHEESE is ELITE. It makes me not really want to have chopped cheeses from other spots, this is the only spot I want for the rest of my time here.

A neighborhood institution. The grocery side of the operation features a small produce section,…read morerefrigerated/frozen goods, and a selection of meats and poultry. There are also plenty of canned goods, a healthy assortment of snacks, and of course, beer. The deli side is where it's at. When I don't feel like making breakfast, I'll come through for a bacon egg and cheese on a roll ($3.50), which they quickly make to order. The other food delicacies they offer seem to be a hit; there's often a lunch crowd ordering food. Prices are reasonable for this part of Brooklyn. The business feels honest, unlike the deli across the street. I enjoy shopping at President and I wish them all the best.

Definitely not your average bodega/corner store...they have more groceries than most. I've come…read morehere many times to get things that I can't find at other bodegas/corner stores and don't want to trek to Key Foods for. They have a pretty good selection of meat and chicken...no ground beef though which I'd like to be able to get. Produce sometimes looks kind of old, but other times it looks fine. Sandwiches have always been good - their hero bread is better than other spots in the area. Prices are on point with other stores. My only complaint is their hours..they close so early and it can be inconvenient.

They have a big menu and they can back it up. Wraps, salads, sandwiches - you name it, they got it…read more A lot of places these days use their menus as decoration. But here? You can order anything and they'll serve it up without a fuss. You can find all the features of a convenience store and then some. Rows of floor-to-ceiling chips, and snacks, dozens of cookies, It's amazing how much can be packed in such a small space!

Totally over stocked small space, with great smells, and excellent prices. This bodega has everything. I thought on a nasty day like this, something bright and cheerful would be nice. So I chose a cider I'd never seen before. Austin EastCiders Rose' Dry Cider $2.50. Not bad for Brooklyn!! Tasted great too. It was refreshingly pleasant. The staff is super friendly. Though I didn't eat here, everyone in line ordering food seemed like they knew a secret about how great this place was. I'll have to come back when I'm hungry.

I didn't realize it was actually a shredded chicken chipotle cold cut. I love cold cuts, but unfortunately I can't have them at the moment, so I asked if it would be possible to substitute grilled chicken instead. They were so nice and made me a whole new sandwich. I felt bad, but they were very understanding and took care of it without any attitude. I come here from time to time whenever I'm in the neighborhood. I live in Downtown Brooklyn which isn't that far away, but it's also not close enough that I can just walk a few blocks to grab a sandwich. One thing I really love is their extensive menu. They have all kinds of sandwiches, wraps, breakfast items, and smoothies so there's always something new to try.

They're open 24-7, so they're also a solid place to go if you want to pick up some late night post-bar food (or a protein shake after an early morning workout). The team is always friendly. Prices are fair. Quality is good. They have a million options to pick from. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes even with a line of people in front of me. I've been here twice this week, and I'm sure I'll be here many more times in the future.

Was in the area and looking for a quick sandwich option…read more Came into Albemarle and they seemed like they had a variety of options (breakfast sandwiches, rolls/hero's etc). I chose to go with the JJ Sandwich (breaded chicken, mozzarella, jalapeños etc). I get to the cash register and a woman rings me up and mumbles something in another language to the man who's preparing the food she then proceeds to add a dollar onto my order and doesn't tell me why. Upon opening the sandwich, the chicken cutlet is soggy and seems like it was made days ago. Not sure if there other sandwiches are better but this sandwich for $13.50 was extremely underwhelming. I could've gotten a lunch special at a Thai restaurant down the street for cheaper and better food.

I will get the occasional breakfast sandwich (like an egg and cheese or bec), or a turkey/cheese sandwich for lunch or dinner. Otherwise, they have a pretty good menu of other types of sandwiches. Depending on who is making the sandwich, it will vary. Definitely a safe bet either way. They also have your usual snacks like potato chips, sodas, beers, and what not. I've been here a number of times because I'll be in the neighborhood. This is definitely one of my favorite bodegas around. My favorite part being how personable and friendly the family who runs it. They've now become a familiar face. Overall, a recommend for if you happen to be passing by. It's conveniently located by the F/G subway stop, so it's hard to miss.
