The most amazing customer service ever. We walked in and were greeted like we were family. This was our first time in, and when the owners found that out, we were offered samples of the chicken salad, grilled chicken, and rice pudding. We were immediately sold. We then ordered the stinger sub and the chicken souvlaki sub with a side of the chicken salad. The food was 2000/10. We will be back again and again. What an amazing experience. I wish I could post a picture of our food but we ate it so fast! read more

Great food never had a bad meal! The service is the best around! I'm so glad they are right here in Lancaster! read more

The owners are from NYC, I love how welcoming they are, they always chat it up with a smile on their face. You get great service, a pretty darn good sandwich and will find yourself going back again to try something else. There is a seating area, this a great spot for lunch during the week! read more

Willy and Mae have brought that great family NY deli to Buffalo and love that it's so close for me to go! I have been coming here since 2015 and consider it a staple to my diet! Growing up I often visited family in Long Island and we'd stop at the delis for lunch daily and drive back to Buffalo with bread rolls to sustain us until we could get out there again. Something about a NY deli- they just do it right! My go to's from here are the grilled chicken salads (cheaper AND fresher than wegmans, especially for the size), these single handedly helped my mom and myself stick to a keto diet we did. We would order without the cheese and pita and balsamic vinaigrette and it would leave us full and satiated for lunch! I highly do recommend try it greek style as well! My other fave is the turkey bacon club on a roll! It comes in other sizes as well but I love a fresh NY roll! Everything is homemade and clearly made with love at this family deli- and now that Willy and Mae are friends, my family and I will find ourselves coming back and supporting them as long as they put up with us! read more

I will start this as I always do by saying that I do not give out five stars unless I am really blown away. So this is one of those rare moments where five stars is deserved. What a great deli. When I walked in they had a lot of options. The guy behind the counter asked for my order and I told him I wasn't sure as there was so much to choose from. He asked me if it was my first time coming in and I told him it was. He told me to come down to the other end of the counter so I followed his lead. He then told me I needed to try the chicken salad so he gave me a sample. It was delicious. Then he gave me a sample of the rice pudding. Also delicious. Then he introduced himself as Willie he was the owner. He also introduced May his wife. He introduced me to the chefs and the other guy behind the counter. Willie told me their story and how they came to be in this location. Willie was very personable and made me feel right at home. I ordered the 8 inch chicken salad sandwich and some rice pudding to go. They do have a very nice seating area as well but I had to keep moving. That was a mistake. The sandwich was hard to eat without making a mess but it was really good. I will be back every time I am close by. If you have not been here stop in and tell Willie it is your first visit and that Morgan sent you. You will not regret it. read more

Came back today and had another great experience! Everything we got was delicious! The crispy chicken salad sub is always so satisfying, and the Buffalo chicken soup was very good too! We also got Mac n cheese which was SUPER cheesy. My brother had the super BBQ burger, and said "it was the best burger ever, so fricken juicy!". The owners Willie and May are the sweetest people ever, and they get to know all of their customers. Come here for the great service and great food! read more

New favorite place!! We drove by here numerous time before, but never realized we were passing by a hidden gem! Not just a deli, but a friendly welcoming establishment that goes out of its way to make you feel at home!! They handed us samples of their homemade chicken salad, roasted chicken and rice pudding since it was our first time here. All of them were so good that after we ate our breakfast, we went to the deli to order some for home. The atmosphere here is happy!! read more

Depew Deli & Grocery - The nicest deli owner we've ever met! - Delis Near Me - Depew, New York

I was looking for a deli near my work to grab lunch one day and I decided to try here. There's a sit-down area where you can order & eat as well as a take-out section. I ordered a tuna sub and did some looking around while I waited. I picked up some pumpkin pie humus and when I went to pay at the counter, the man working raves about it! I told him I've never had it and that's when he went into a refrigerator, pulled out a tub of it, got a spoonful and told me to try it. I would go back again just for the customer service. I love going to a business where you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in and this is one of those places. The tuna sub was good too! Highly recommend! read more

Here's what you would call a hidden gem. The locals know it, and the out of towners need to eat here for a real taste of the Depew and Lancaster area. It's the perfect spot to chat while eating with a friend. Just a cozy little place. The food is fabulous ! You can order hot or cold meals with plenty of deli items to take home ( like I did, so I don't have to spend the entire holiday weekend in the kitchen ). read more

Got a hot roast beef sub today. It was delicious with the perfect amount of filling. Beef was tender, bread was soft with a good crust. Also got a container of chicken wing soup which was also very good. read more

The Depew Deli delivers every single time. I have never had a bad meal and they are always quick and friendly. I normally hit them for lunch once or twice a month and their Italian Combo is pretty much perfect. My son loves their meatball sub. The deli itself is very popular and is always busy when it's open. It's one of, if not the best, sandwich shop in the Broadway Transit area. read more

Great variety. Quality ingredients. Nice service. Eat in or take out. Definitely worth the stop.

Every since day, one of walking into the Depew Deli when you walk in, everybody has a smile on their face. They remember your name from day one you feel the love from everybody. They serve the most amazing food. I highly recommend the chicken Philly whether you are having it for breakfast lunch dinner you can have it anytime of the day, and it is amazing. The tables are always clean. The bathroom is always spotless. There's nothing that I could ever say where it would be bad. I've lived in the neighborhood for going on four years and been going there since and will not stop going. read more

Great local deli. Frustrating to stop for lunch, waiting your turn in line, for a man behind the counter to call out to someone he knows and take their order ahead of yours. read more

Best deli I've been to in this area. The owner, May, was super sweet and so kind. She allowed us to sample the chicken salad which is their best seller. Of course I had to buy it after one taste! Sahlen's ham is very affordable and so tasty as well but they offer so many different types of deli meats. This deli offers a full menu for breakfast and lunch. Although I didn't sample any of the sandwiches today, from looking at them being prepped they looked amazing! They use costanzo's rolls so you can't go wrong there! Overall I can't wait to visit this place again. I received true customer service and I loved feeling so welcomed. All the food looked and sounded great. read more

I have heard about this amazing deli in the village and never knew what everyone was talking about, so glad I do now! They have the best chicken salad you will ever have, on this trip we just ordered a few subs the chicken salad and the turkey. But I saw this amazing lasagna and and macaroni and cheese. Their breakfast menu looked amazing and they sell a lot of local favorites you may not find everywhere. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Excellent sandwiches, wonderful and friendly service! Will definitely be back when we are in town!

The sandwiches and subs here are INCREDIBLE. Such friendly, friendly people run the place too -- it's a treat to go in. If it's your first time, let them know and if they are not busy, they'll take some time to really show you what the place is about. Their big specialty is the chicken salad sandwich. I had a chance to try just the chicken salad and it was AMAZING. The onions leave a great crunch and the poultry tastes fresh and is seasoned very well. It practically melts in your mouth. Supposedly, they sell 30-40 pounds of it per day! They were closed when I pulled up, but May -- one of the owners let me in and made me an amazing chicken cutlet sandwich with tomato, onion and mayo. The chicken cutlets were once again super tender, lightly breaded and tasted perfectly. All 3 owners moved from NYC to start this NY deli about 4 years ago and they do a great job running it. I can't wait to be back and try more of their menu and to have an entire chicken salad sandwich all to myself. If you haven't been and are a fan of sandwiches/subs, you HAVE TO give this place a try. Their chicken salad sandwich is the best one you're going to find in Buffalo. read more

Like step back n history when you loved to visit the deli. Huge menu for such a small place, been working my way through the menu, got stuck on 'The Marshall' - so good - and everything has been great. Daily specials are awesome. If you go frequent enough they will remember you name and likely your usual order. A must visit. read more

Easily the BEST deli in the Buffalo area. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful. The chicken salad is a must. Sooooo good. Everything on the menu is delicious, I've tried just about everything and have never been disappointed. read more

Favorite lunch spot very good salads and subs.

I heard rave reviews.. We bought some soup and sandwiches.. The person taking the order seemed in a hurry, which might have been the case. Our order was messed up as we asked for a patty melt with American cheese received swiss. No biggie, Right? But when they packaged our 3 soups up, they did not tighten the lids down. So when he got back to the office expecting hot soup we had a bagful of 3 different kinds of soup. Thank goodness it had not soiled my employees new car.. The sandwich was ok at best, more hamburger than patty melt. Will need to rethink another visit. read more

Best subs around and not overly priced. I never had a royal sub till I came here and now it's my favorite and won't go anywhere else for one. read more

Best customer service I have ever received in my life. I have never met business owners that care more about their customers like they do. Delicious food and amazing prices! I love supporting this local family run business! read more

If they hand you a sample, take the sample. TAKE ALL THE SAMPLES. You will be left in a conundrum, but it's ok. All the things are good. I chose the grilled chicken melt (because samples) and my husband chose the chicken salad melt (because, you know). Can I tell you, I was so satisfied because not only was the delicious sampled chicken on my plate but it was loving stacked with mozzarella, cold crispy lettuce and slightly toasted warm Italian loaf bread. Oh my word, such a completely rewarding decision! Anyway, the owners were just as delightful! I felt as if I was welcomed into their home. They made the effort to remember my name and you know, load me with the samples. Hence my aforementioned sandwich selection. Please make an effort to try this place if you live in the area. If you live in or are visiting Niagara Falls, drive to Depew. If you live in Syracuse, drive to Depew. Seriously, just drive to Depew. And tell them we sent you, Frank and Brenda. read more

I love the D. Everyone knows this. But I don't love the D-pew Deli. Nope. New review: Shockingly, shockingly overrated. Let me tell you something. When I'm getting sent hate mail from one guy with 0 reviews on Yelp and patronizing "persuasive" mail from another guy with only 1 review which is a 5 star of Depew Deli, all concerning this place, I get suspicious that it's not actually coming from random people. It's enough to make me reduce it to 1 or 2 stars. The "persuasive" guy assures me he's not an owner or employee. (Shrug) Since I wrote the review below (but before I got any "persuasion" from anyone), I've come back (because everyone in real life kept telling me to) and tried 2 or 3 different things. A very average Chicken Parm. A very average cold cut sandwich. Something else I don't even remember except that I didn't like it much. Very average is all I can really say. Nothing here does it for me. I don't find their sandwiches to be that good. I don't get the massive hype. I've tried 1,000 different delis. Some were worse than this. Most were better. I fully support family businesses and I'm glad everyone is enjoying their food madly, but I highly doubt this is ever going to be my thing. My things are the Sinatra at Marco's On Maple, the Hangover at Joe's, a lot of stuff at Johnny C's, and all the Italian Delis in Hoboken, as well as the Caruso's Proscuitto Sandwiches on Hertel. If you are even 10% as good as any of those, you will get 4 stars or even 5, from me. Depew Deli gets 3, and only because it's family owned. And if I get more hate mail from supposedly anonymous users concerning this review I'm definitely lowering it because that's no way to operate. Original review: This Deli is located in a church. The deli counter is right next to depew. Get it. Depew. OK. Moving on. I have to say this is one of those places which I do not understand the fascination and obsession from so many of my friends regarding. It's a clean, spacious, airy, bright deli with some of the friendliest service around, but given that I judge places solely on food, I can't possibly give this deli more than a 3/5, although for service it would get a 5. The only thing I've tried is the thing that everyone and their mother tells you to try which is the Chicken Salad Sandwich. The bread was fluffy and good, but that's where the love affair ended. The chicken salad was utterly tasteless and bland and boring and honestly inedible to me. I didn't finish it and would never get it again. The person I was eating with liked it a bit more than I did, but not much. I could understand if this was just one person's fave sandwich, but the fact that the place makes it their selling point and that everyone that loves this place, seems to love it because of this sandwich, perplexes me. Clearly it is just "not my thing", but I find it amazing that it would be anyone's thing. Nevertheless, it's a matter of taste and just because this is not to my taste, doesn't mean it won't be to yours. I will have to go back and give some other items a try, but when everyone is raving about one thing (including the sign out front, and the owners and employees), and that one thing is so underwhelming, it's hard to expect other things to be better. But perhaps if I order some things that I know I like at other delis, that I may be able to bump this place up to a 4 or 5. But since this place seems so shiny and new, I will say what they say in India: there's always room for a New Delhi. read more

Great service and choices such as Boars head. Baklava was excellent. I had them slice deli meats for the week. But they offer sandwiches and subs too read more

Depew Deli is a hidden gem in Western New York. As a sandwich lover, I have yet to be unimpressed by any sub I have gotten. Their Turkey club and chicken salad are the best in town. Get the Rachel if you're feeling adventurous. Great people working there too. Always kind and courteous. read more

Wow I'm taken back by how amazing their food is! Such good quality and most friendly staff. I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner! read more

BOARS HEAD BRAND MEATS AND CHEESES Boars Head brand deli meats are epic. If I were Christopher Columbus, I would have sailed all seven of those seas to find a water route that led to Boars Head meats. But I don't have to sail anywhere to go to the Depew Deli & Grocery, and neither do you; you just have to drive down Broadway. I was extremely impressed with the huge menu selection, prepared meals and various salad dishes for sale. It was actually a little bit overwhelming, and so I floundered and got a familiar sandwich: roast beef, lettuce, tomato and onion w/ mayo & provolone. Now, a cold sub like this is a favorite go-to of mine when I'm hungry, but it's rarely impressive wherever I get it. This sub was impressive. It was so good that it caused me to question scripture. I began to not comprehend why Jesus would waste so much time eating crusts of bread and fish when he could have turned that nonsense into Boars Head roast beef subs from Depew Deli. The service here was fantastic. The smiling, friendly woman behind the counter went over-the-top for me. I stopped in to pick my sick wife up some soup, and so I got some Italian Wedding. The lady (who's name I wish I knew) first offered me crackers and I declined. She then asked if I wanted some mozzarella cheese for the soup, in which I accepted. She gave me the whole bag of cheese just because. I wish the soup selection was a little deeper. All that was available was the Italian Wedding, which was fantastic, and broccoli cheddar. You would think they would have more soups considering how many other menu items available. read more

We were working in the area(from out of town). Took a look at yelp and found Depew deli. Originally came in for some soup, ended up getting a Philly cheesesteak, grilled chicken sandwich, and an order of their homemade chicken salad. Everything was amazing, highly recommend this place! Never ended up getting soup read more

The depew deli can than Yelp for my patronage as I saw the great reviews from my fellow yelpers. I had never been here once the employee found that out I was offered samples.

Depew Deli & Grocery - Loved the chicken salad sandwich and can't wait to try more menu items! - Delis Near Me - Depew, New York

I am one of many. To avoid the repetition and repeating all our great experiences at this place. My wife and I are coming back over and over to try something new each time. We started like all the others with the chicken salad subs. We both got one with homemade soup , the chicken soup is just like the way we make it.... Hot pastrami subs and their Reuben on Rye were up there as one of the best I've ever had. Warning: if you give in to the samples they give you, you'll never make it past the chicken salad!! LOL It is the best I've ever tasted. Their Rice pudding is something we took home for later with coffee. I just had lunch there with a friend (first time for him) and he walked out after lunch saying that Pastrami Reuben sub was the best he'd ever had. We'll be back soon. !! read more

Extremely clean place, walking in this was the first thing I had noticed. The owner "Willie" was wonderful from his peppy positive attitude to the quality of food he prepares! They have daily lunch specials and homemade salads and antipasto etc. They have a flat screen television and some tables in the deli area which is a very decent size! They are currently in the process of expanding to accommodate more people with a large dining area! (Freshly painted and hardwood floor!) Everything about this place screams quality guess service! The owner talked about how he moved from NYC and how the "famous chicken salad" is a top seller. I mean I could not believe how friendly the owners were! They gave samples (without me asking) of the homemade chicken salad and chicken cutlet! Absolutely delicious!! They use Costanzo's sub rolls which is a bonus in my books. Found my new deli that's for sure, I love small business. So happy I decided to come into here!! Do yourself a favor and stop in just once! Willie and his wife will gladly make sure that you leave with a smile on your face! read more
