    Here's what this dump sent to my wife today. 2 or 3 slices of turkey for $12. Nothing else really needs to be said.

    FAST, CLEAN, FRIENDLY If you're in a rush order via phone for pick up. Sandwich was prepared properly. Lettuce and tomato were FRESH!!! Overall good place for a breakfast sandwich.

    Fantastic old school deli with best potato salad. Gotta try it to believe it. I also loved coffee

    Who wants to eat Yellow lettuce?

    This place is horrible and I can't believe how deceiving the ratings are Pros- the homemade turkey breast is delicious -Bob and the other older guys put in great effort and make very good iced coffee Cons- when the older guys don't work(WHICH SEEMS TO BE EVERY SINGLE AFTERNOON): - The iced coffee is terrible(light and sweet Iced coffee is always bitter and has an inch of sugar sitting at the bottom to crunch while you drink) - Very high prices for iced coffee(like $6?)and low quality sandwiches - Burnt my bread completely and still served it to me - Months later I gave them another try and received a pile of Yellow lettuce on my expensive sandwich - Ordered two of the same drink and received two completely different looking drinks Overall, other than walking in and confirming that you will be served by Bob or one of the other older guys; I would find a different deli

    Can you spare some turkey on my $10 sandwich??

    This is my neighborhood deli and I keep going back 2x/yr in the hope of a decent experience. Yes, they have good potato salad, yes, they have good crumb cake, but so do ALL deli's. A good deli makes reliably good sandwiches that make your mouth water when you drive by. My experience is that the Douglaston deli sandwiches either have too much salt or are lacking in the ingredients (I now ask purposely for no salt). Today I ordered one of their 'special' sandwiches, a turkey with avocado, onion, lettuce, and tomato. Add in a bag of chips (2 items) and it was about $16!! Ok, a good sandwich is worth it. I get home open it up and I was so disappointed, very disappointed. Barely no turkey (1/4 inch at its thickest), avocado on each half of the sandwich was about three thumbnail size pieces!! And the roll was a bit stale and crusty. I was so angry, and threw half of it away, and then had to floss and brush my teeth to get the flavor out of my mouth. And also, all day since eating it I have had gas attacks. This place may have had its day, maybe the costs of ingredients and rents mean they have to over charge, OK, but why is the sandwich quality so poor and inconsistent?? Stay away from this place unless you need some milk, some twinkies, some potato salad, and some crumb cake, everything else you can get at the grocery store more cheaply and without the pain to your wallet and your gastrointestinal system. Please guys, your our neighborhood deli, where's the beef, where is the service, the quality control???

    Great classic new york deli. If you have a craving for a cold cut sandwich, why go anywhere else. They also have large coolers of homemade teas and lemonades. Potato salad is a great side for your meal. They have a great selection of cold cuts. Anytime you have a craving stop by, the staff is friendly and helpful

I…read morelove that they use unbromated flour and I appreciate that every piece (even the specialty slices with many heavy toppings) has great structure, no flop. Thin & crispy crust, great ratio of sauce and cheese. I also love how clean the restaurant is. They have some incredible specialty slices that I never knew I needed in my life until I tried them! Especially the "Desi Boy" slice and the "white truffle chicken cutlet" slice. I also have to mention their vodka slice with sesame crust Everything in this place is high quality, even their regular slices. Their sandwiches are pretty incredible too, and you can tell that the bread is fresh made in house-- you don't feel bloated or overly stuffed after eating them! The owner is super friendly and even gave us a couple extra slices to try to complete our "pie" when we had already ordered a small variety of slices. The staff are all very friendly and it feels very comfortable and less stuffy than some of the other pizzerias in the area. Happy to give this place my business. Give them a try, you will be back for more!

I had their chicken Caesar chicken wrap, Krave bomber, birria sandwich, and tikka masala wings and everything was delicious! My family and I enjoyed this (which says a lot bc my dad is a huge foodie like muah but a hard judge so when he said everything was really good I was pleasantly surprised haha). Also beware, some of these menu items are SPICYYYY! Tastes great but spicy, so if youd like to stay away from spice I wouldn't suggest the birria or the Krave it bomber! The service was great as well, everyone was very friendly. The ambiance is a laid back vibe. Great for any time of day. Parking is metered though so be aware of that as well!

    It's been six years since I last came here. The food is still pretty good and the service was…read morefriendly, but overall I found the sandwiches a bit overpriced. The menu has very detailed, almost elevated descriptions that make everything sound spectacular, but in practice the flavors don't quite come through, especially the sauces, which are barely noticeable. Our server was flexible when we asked to swap the potato chips for fries on the kids' grilled cheese meal, which we appreciated. However, we were then charged $1.40 for a side of ranch for the fries. I understand they have a range of specialty sauces and dips that are clearly priced on the menu, but that still felt steep for ranch. They also offer a combo option to add fries for $5, but the portion doesn't really feel aligned with the price. The steak sandwich itself was surprisingly tender, even though it looked like it might be tough. That said, I couldn't taste the roasted red pepper sauce, and the "sweet onion jam" turned out to just be caramelized onions. My mother actually ended up picking them out because she doesn't eat onions. (she won't eat onions that she can see) The buffalo cauliflower was tasty, but could have been crispier. The "serves two" description also felt a bit generous given the small portion. I also ordered a brisket sandwich to go with fries. The coleslaw sounded great on the menu, but in reality the flavors didn't stand out, no real hint of jalapeño, just a fairly standard slaw. Overall, the food descriptions felt more impressive than the actual execution, though the to-go fries portion was more generous, which was a nice surprise. Would I go back? I'm not sure. Maybe for a casual visit with a few beers and fries with an assortment of dipping sauces...I am a sucker for those.

    Food: 5/5 We had the #45 ($20.21 +$5.05 side fries) and #46…read more($19.08 +$5.05 side fries). These were some of the best sandwiches in the area. They perfectly combine tender and flavorful meats with hot pressed bread. Service: 5/5 The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. They checked in at all the right times without being overbearing, kept drinks filled, and made sure everything came out smoothly. Ambiance: 5/5 Press 195 has a cozy, laid-back neighborhood vibe. The space feels warm and inviting, with exposed brick, wood accents, and a casual bar area that makes it feel like a local pub without feeling too loud. The atmosphere feels comfortable, like a go-to spot you can visit any night of the week.
