As someone who gets sandwiches out at many delis in the area, this place has some things going for it and I wish it was a local place I could support. They have a good drink selection, pretty good coffee, and a sizeable drink selection. The sandwiches are usually quite big and usually the prices are reasonable. However, I use the word usual for good reason here. I have gotten the same sandwich here and ended up once paying $13 and once paying several bucks more. I have gotten a sandwich that was jam packed with ingredients and another time where there is a distinct lack and they both cost the same and in one case was the same sandwich. The presumed owner in front is in the most polite and that's putting it mildly (I'd use other terms but then this review would be removed likely.) I'm not sure if it's because I look young or because I'm not a frequent buyer but he's cold with me while chatting with others. The guys making the sandwich aren't friendly either with similar coldness. For the exact same price point and with consistent sandwiches, go several blocks away to Smith Gourmet Deli which is also 24 hours. If you want an Italian spot with better sandwiches, Dellapietras is close and the even better Caputo's is a few blocks further away not to mention the many other better spots with actual friendly staff such as MozzLab and the like. If I was to judge this place based on the usual price point, the drink selection, and the occasional quality compared to the size of the sandwiches, I would likely give this place a mid 3 or something similar to that. However, if I was instead judging this place on all of its faults, I would get this place a 1. The fact that the people here aren't friendly and the quality control is non-existent gives this spot closer to a 1 than a 4. If this was the only place in the area, I'd put up with it but luckily it's not. I just stopped going here because the attitude and issues overrides the fact that the sandwiches are reasonable and that takes a whole lot for a reasonable price point. read more

Randomly found this deli while walking around Brooklyn! I had the "Godfather" and it was AMAZING!! We enjoyed it on the pier overlooking the city! read more

While the sandwiches are good, prepare to be talked to like you're an idiot when in the store, especially if you're a woman (and in that case prepare to be ignored while you wait to place your order too). I used to go here often but the last few times I've left annoyed and swearing I'll never go there again. PS this is my first negative review but wow at least try to put some effort into treating your customers like humans. read more

I've lived in Brooklyn Heights for many years and never really thought twice about Brooklyn Heights Deli. I just thought it was a typical bodega type store. Then I spotted it on seamless and looked at the menu. Hmmm. Some very interesting looking sandwiches. I tried The Godfather sandwich and I was done. Fan for life. This is the best sandwich spot you'll find just about anywhere. The London Broil Roast Beef sandwiches are my latest discovery! Absolutely delicious. If you're not in the mood for a big meal at dinnertime, a sandwich from Brooklyn Heights Deli is an awesome experience. Combine your excellent sandwich with a Stewarts Birch Beer, Cream Soda, Black Cherry or Key Lime soda. If you never heard of Stewarts sodas then I just filled you in on another great treat!! read more

First, the make great sandwiches and have a nice selection of things. But after ten years I decided to stop going in here. They are really rude to people but it's gotten to the point where I actually think it's mean and cruel. I saw one of the owners just scream at a disabled woman for coughing too much and called her disgusting. This despite her being masked and weak looking. She was just waiting for her order to be done...I can't with these guys anymore. I too have heard racist comments and noticed them being rude to customers unnecessarily. That being said...good heroes! read more

BHD is your standard NYC bodega (but no cat that I have seen inside). After walking by this establishments many, many times over the years, but never entering, I decided to give it a whirl. They got tons of snacks and drinks for sale, and the deli makes any kind of Boar's Head sandwich you want. I got The Godfather sandwich and it got the job done. Pretty standard with acceptable prices. I might try them a second time. read more

I was in the area so I stopped in for a sandwich. Tried The Godfather on white. Flavorful and fresh ingredients. Definitely worth checking out if you are nearby. read more

One of the worst places I've ever been. The taste of the sandwich I got here should've been warning not to eat it. I felt horrible for days after. Everything else is horribly overpriced. If you value your wallet or your health DONT GO HERE read more

Two stars because the food is occasionally very good. Most of the time, however, the order arrives with dry chicken, parts of a sandwich missing (talking about half the meat left out), or with the wrong bread. Don't get me started on timing. I'm lucky if an order arrives within an hour, and sometimes it takes upward of two hours. I live a short walk from the restaurant, making the timing especially odd. Order from here at your own risk. Sometimes it pays off. But most of the time, well, you get the idea. read more

At first glance this looks like a simple grab and go shop. But it actually sells some of the best and cheapest sandwiches in the area. I've had a few different ones but the one that keeps bringing me back is The Godfather. Far beyond your average Italian meaty sandwich, they just simply do it right. It goes beyond the meat, it's stuffed with an appropriate amount of veggies and topped with olive oil and vinegar. For around $8 this sandwich makes this THE place to get some of your classic favorites without breaking the bank. read more

a sausage egg n cheese here is 4.30 which I guess is on the cheaper end for Brooklyn heights price: 4/5 when did sandwiches get so expensive roll: 4/5 nice kaiser roll sausage: 4/5 slipperiness: 4/5 pretty clean to eat the rest of their sandwiches are pretty good too read more

Brooklyn-Heights Deli - two halves of a sandwich - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very poor. I would give zero or negative stars if I could. Grubhub delivery was 30 minutes late and when I called to ask about my delivery the man who answered the phone was extremely rude. Very, very poor experience read more

This is my favorite sandwich spot in New York. Parisi Bakery in NoLita is a close second, but Brooklyn Heights Deli is #1 in all the boroughs for me so far (lived in NYC 6 years). The staff (Frank, Sergio, Mario, Saul, Gus, Jose) are all veteran New Yorkers and care about their work and it comes through in the food & service. Brooklyn Heights Deli makes the best Italian Sub in NYC in my opinion. I like a non-dry Italian (oil and vinegar + Mayo). If you're into that kind of thing you're going to like it as well. I get it on a hero if I'm really hungry, or a roll if not. Ask to add Mayo because it doesn't come with Mayo default. read more

This is the sort of corner deli that makes NYC great. A decent selection of dry goods line the shelves, and you can get yourself some fruit, coffee, and a good bacon egg and cheese. The guys that run it will offer up jokes and a pickle to go along with your sandwich, and make you feel like a regular even if you aren't. While I appreciate the pickle gesture, I do wish they would wrap it better. It will soak your sandwich through in no time flat, and even your pants if you wait too long to eat. Then you smell like pickle the rest of the day, and nobody will love you. And thirty years later, you'll wonder if it was that one leaky pickle that doomed you to a life of loneliness, or if it was just your personality. I think it was the pickle. read more

This spot is the only one that sells alcohol in this area, I am almost 22 with a driving permit as my only form of ID. They were incredibly rude to me and enormously condescending he did not allow me to purchase alcohol due to his "belief" that it was fake. I offered to scan it and showed him other sources of proof. He refused me service and treated me incredibly inconsiderately. read more

Ordered lunch from here for the first time. Got a chicken cutlet sandwich with extra hot peppers. Delivery was quick and the sandwich was ok. Unfortunately, the cutlet was so fried (or old) that it had the texture of jerky, which was too bad because everything else was pretty decent. read more

place is geriatric. too old and past it's prime. cool old sign. but nope. tried and won't return.

Great place for lunch came here once and I'm in Love , I work about 10 mins away walking and I would eat here everyday if I could . There sandwiches are great , and they don't skimp on the meat . Would recommend this place if your in the area . Love the out side decor , feels like an old school corner store that nyc was built on . Must try !!!! read more

Brooklyn Heights deli is different. At first glance, it looks like an out-of-place established deli in Brooklyn Heights minus the intimidating bodega cat you wanna pet and take pictures of. What kept me away for so long is the preconceived notion that they didn't accept credit/debit cards. Pretty ignorant of me, I must admit. As you walk in, it looks a little confusing. There are two long aisles total. Don't be alarmed, though. There is a very big chance that they have exactly what you're looking for. One night, I was looking for a La Croix water (in tangerine) in a can and some Kettle Brand salt-n-vinegar chips to go with my sandwich and had no difficulty. The service I received was exceptional. These guys know how to make a sandwich. The chicken cutlet with mozzarella, avocado, mayo, and onions became my go-to. If you live/work nearby and opt for delivery, you'll be greeted with a smile upon receiving your food like I have. Imagine that. read more

I've always wanted a deli to call my own. You know, the sort of place where you walk in, and the guy behind the counter waves and says, "The usual, friend?" and then passes you a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with extra cream cheese on the side, all perfectly packaged in a nice little paper bag that's already been sealed up because said deli guy knew you'd be coming in at 7:24am. On the dot. Dreaming big, you say? Never gonna happen, you smirk? I was skeptical, too, until I started frequenting the Brooklyn Heights Deli, where, when I walk in the door, I'm always greeted with beaming smiles. These guys love me.* I love them. This is MY deli, and it's a good one. The food here is solid. There's a nice little outdoor seating area out front. During the holidays, there's a singing Santa outside that hypnotizes small children. It's a jolly place. *Sidenote: I've witnessed the same I've-never-been-happier-to-see-anyone-in-my-entire-life exchange with other customers. So I guess this isn't an exclusive affair. Sigh. read more

Rude ass bastards. I was waiting patiently in front of the counter (only customer in store, thursday afternoon around 2:30pm) made eye contact, smiled, looked at paper menu- nodded- and folded it, eye contact again- and 3.5 minutes later two ladies off some tour bus come in the doors and talk to each other about tuna salad for a minute---- and the guy at the counter then turns to them and asks them what they want. He saw the look on my face, and continued grabbing rolls to make their sandwiches. A US Postal Service courier came in just after the two hags and witnessed this and was shocked to the point of her jaw dropping. But I was already on my way OUT the door. Totally horrible. I'm not used to bad service. True, I'm basing this review angrily and on a one time experience-- but I'm never going back to revisit this shit. The guy was a douche bag. And shame on the two old hags who KNEW i was next and continued to order. I hope their tour sucked. read more

Cute store that's obviously been there forever, but skimpy sandwiches and they overcharge you. Prices are clearly listed on the board:$4.35 for a sandwich on a roll, $0.50 for tomato, $0.35 for onion (don't get me started on charging for two little pieces of onion), should be $5.15 plus tax. How do you get to $6.85 total for the sandwich?? Are you charging for mustard now too?? And then when I open the sandwich up, it was the tiniest little bit of meat I've ever seen on a sandwich in this city. Insult to injury!! Another disappointing deli that feels the need to nickle and dime their unsuspecting customers. Good for them, you got me for an extra buck but lost out on my repeat business. Just beware if you come here, they're gonna try and pull a fast one on you. read more

The shop is clean. It has a few tables outside and it makes a great sandwich. The best I have had in Brooklyn Heights. I finally tried this place after walking past all the time. The man made me a great sandwich. We had a good discussion on not putting too much on the sandwich because if you do you simply lose the flavour. We both agreeded that too many condiments are a bad thing. I have found my new sandwich shop. I will be back. read more

While getting lost in Cobble Hill i stumbled upon this deli. I was in desperate need of something to drink and wandered in where i was greeted with a big hello and two smiles from the people behind the counter. As expected from any deli/convenience store the isles are small and tight in order to offer you the large array of items. The small deli counter contained what looked to me like very fresh and yummy deli meets and salads (though I did not order any food). Theres an atm here and the fee is super low, too (they only accept cash) upon purchasing my soda i asked for directions and not only was i happily given great directions but a nice conversation about the area as well. The staff were very nice, helpful and a pleasure to run into on my adventure. read more

Cute little corner store with a small but reasonable selection of food and drinks. The service here is exactly what you need for this type of business. Nothing over the top but very efficient. Eye contact, greetings and farewells give a personal touch. read more

Great sandwich nice and fresh, For the area a drink muffin and sandwich for around 10.00 ..Not bad! I am coming back. read more

I love this place. Truly a neighborhood gem! They're reliable, affordable, and always on time/early. The food is great. Always delicious. I order at least once or twice a week, sometimes more. It's always a great experience. I really love Brooklyn Heights Deli, they're my go to! read more

I had requested/created a sandwich today that I recommend you try. They made it very well. Toasted Poppyseed Bagel With Butter, Warm Roast Beef, Pepper Jack Cheese, Hot Sauce and a few light dabs of Ketchup. No mayo, no lettuce, no tomato. My golly that was the best sandwich I've had in a while. And it was just perfectly made. The man behind the counter was just the coolest guy. he was the owner read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The owner is a complete imbecile. I ordered a monte Cristo when I went to pay, he told me my money was fake. I gave him a 20 dollar bill that was a 1963 circulation, legal tender and I just got it from an atm machine. He showed it to the other genius working there and he said it was fake too. I told him to keep his sandwich and ate at place down the street where they had no problem accepting my money. read more

We order from here quiet frequently and occasionally go to pick up our order. It's our favorite go-to deli. We tend to stick to their sandwiches and haven't tried much of their menu. Their sandwiches are awesome - we usually order the turkey and the fat boy and both are great. The bread is fresh and there is the perfect bread/meat/cheese ratio. read more

Wonderful service. Delicious sandwiches. Beautiful old building. Great place to sit with your dog on the front patio and drink a coffee.

Ok, the Prices are out of this world for what you get. Guess what America You are in Brooklyn Heights, where a 1 bedroom apartments cost $4500 a month or 2 Million to purchase. So its a neighborhood deli that the people who live in the neighborhood can afford to pay more. All I can say is the Fat Boy is incredible. The Staff is friendly (except the Bald Guy) You just need to get to know him. The place is clean. who ever had a bad experience might have a bad experience anywhere. read more

One of favorite spots in the neighborhood. Amazing breakfast sandwiches, which are always delivered in a timely manner! My boyfriend and I order from here every weekend! The Henry Street wrap is the best :) read more

Lousy sandwiches and lousy delivery times. It's hard to believe that a sandwich could be prepared this badly. I'll never order from here again. Here's a tip. When preparing a hot sandwich you don't microwave the bread you microwave the insides, then put it on a toasted piece of bread. Otherwise you wind up with a soggy disgusting ball of dough. Delicious. read more

I like going here when I go to New York. They prepare my order as I like and with a friendly expressions. People are friendly and willing to help. Thumbs up! read more

I love the bagels at this place. They are one of my favorite parts of the weekend. The sandwiches are pretty good too. This deli also offers many choices in beverages, chips, treats and groceries. The staff members, especially the owner, sometimes give you a hard time but just give it back and you'll be fine. It just feels like part of the charm. read more

I love to order from here! Their sandwiches are amazing and the delivery is always super fast. Everything I order comes as it should and I never have any complaints. I mostly enjoy the prices. You get a great deal with the prices of the sandwiches and you never feel like you are being ripped off. It's a good size sandwich for what you pay for. read more

Great deli of the kind growing rarer and rarer around NY. Excellent selection of cold cut and prepared items and coffee still served in the old blue, gold and white "pleasure to serve you" paper cups with faux greek lettering. A few tables out front for al fresco dining. read more
