    Jerk Turkey with Swiss, lettuce and honey mustard.
    Alyssa R.

    This place is, as far as I'm concerned, the best deli in Clinton Hill... for a multitude of reasons: #1 their name is annoyingly clever. Farmer in the Dell/Deli? Come on - tell me you don't remember singing that silly nursery rhyme way back in like 1st grade? The farmer in the dell The farmer in the dell High-ho the derry-o The farmer in the dell I've caught myself humming it twice now while waiting for my sandwich. :-X #2 They've got a good lineup of meats, cheeses & condiments available for sandwiches. Options include the classics honey turkey, roast beef and grilled chicken; plus spicy options like jerk turkey and buffalo chicken. Cheeses range from good ol' fashioned American to Muenster and everything in between. #3 Prices are on point. $4.50-5.50 for a roll, $5.50-$6.50 (I think) for a hero. And they don't cheap out on the meats either. #4 There's a plethora of snacks and drinks in the deli as well. Arizona teas (still just $1!), Vitamin Water, Pepsi, etc etc. #5 The Staff is so welcoming and have been so nice each and every time I come in for lunch. I've been there several times in the last few months and have no plans to stop. They make a good sandwich so why would I? If you stop by for lunch - I highly recommend the following: jerk turkey, Swiss, bacon (it might be turkey bacon), honey mustard and lettuce. So good, especially when they warm it up.

    Hi-ho the Deli, yo!! We stopped here and got a couple sandwiches to go - a turkey pastrami and a roast beef. We walked, bused and trained to our location - about 3 hours - before cracking open that little gift wrapped torpedo of flavor. When we opened our sandwiches and bit into them, there was no way of knowing they had been sitting in the bottom of a plastic bag for hours, being crushed. When I bit into my roast beef, it's as if the gods delivered a message to my mouth, saying "we aren't worthy - there's only one true God and it's evident in the craftsmanship of this sandwich." When I was in the deli I tried to make small talk with the sandwich king behind the counter. He's not one for small talk. I asked him if he recommended anything. He said, "place your order." But when he started slicing the beef and slapping onto the bread, it's like he said "I heard you and I love you, but I've got to keep up this facade behind the counter. I'll make up for it with an amazing sandwich." So he did. The turkey pastrami was also really good, but my heart belongs to that roast beef.

    Go to Pratt gourmet deli instead. The staff is actually pleasant to be around there unlike at farmer in the deli

    I've have been going to farmer in the deli since I was a teenager and b4 any of the social media…read moreexploits. The original name was called laurose and tuna salad chopping has been happening for over four decades. My fort green family really know what it is. My cousin and I stopped by yesterday and picked up a couple of heroes. I had to get my beef salami and 3 pepper colby jack cheese, extra mayo, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles, on a whole wheat hero (10.99) . Much love to a family staple for years. Definitely a place for you to pick up a sandwich that won't break the bank.

I waited for about 45 minutes, while waiting I picked up my chips and a white peach ginger ale. I also talked to the girl in front and she explained that you can get your sandwhich on a hero or roll. I ordered a chopped honey turkey with onions, pickles, lettuce and mayo. The guy who made my sandwich was soo friendly and patient. I just put my trust in him to hook it up lol. He also asked if I wanted to add the chips and I did. Overall my sandwhich was better the next day after it firmed up. The flavor was good but the texture was soft, mushy and just not what I want in a turkey sandwhich. It ran me about 12.00 and it was worth the experience.

    Brooklyn stays undefeated. Went to David's Brisket House -- a Jewish deli run by Yemeni Muslims in…read morethe middle of an Afro-Caribbean neighborhood. If that's not the most Brooklyn thing ever, I don't know what is. Same sandwiches, different blessing. Everybody says order the pastrami, so I listened like a grown man should. Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard absolutely slapped. Smoky, juicy, perfectly stacked, and messy enough to ruin your shirt with honor. Then came the beef brisket on rye with a cup of au jus for dipping... and brother, that dip should be studied by scientists. Pure perfection. Washed everything down with a Dr. Brown's root beer like it was 1957. No fake trendy nonsense. No deconstructed sandwiches. Just old-school deli greatness that punches you directly in the soul. Great food doesn't care where you come from -- it just brings everybody to the same table. That's New York. That's Brooklyn.

    Losing stars. Because I don't know if anyone who works there has ever eaten or seen a sandwich…read more Asked for extra mayo. Maybe this made them mad. As there's barely any mayo. But a mess of green peppers. Like a whole green pepper on an uncut sandwich. Uncut! Let's be real. I'm at the mercy of the person who buys me lunch. And they eat brisket. So get the brisket. But don't dare get a simple turkey sandwich. And also, they're misrepresenting that they have chicken salad. They do not. Or maybe they've been lying about it.

    I finally made it here to try any one of their legendary subs and sandwiches!…read more The deli is super old Skool Italian, cash only in a street not easy to get to without a car or taking the bus. But boy it is super worth it if you make the effort! The counter service is excellent and you place your order and wait for deliciousness! There are not many seats except for a few tables out back and a stand up counter to eat your sandwich so fyi! I ordered the Golden Boy Special ( Chicken Cutlet , Vodka Sauce , peppers , mozzarella and prosciutto) it was absolutely superb and the bread it was just incredible! My son and I shared a large plenty of Sandwich for two - and we got homemade meatballs to go ( 4 to be exact) - total bill $30 cash !

I…read morefirst heard of this place featured on Diners Drive ins and Dives, the place looked super old school and a classic sandwich shop, more recently I heard of this place from George Motz talking about the roast pork sandwich. I went with two friends so were able to try three different sandwiches and to be honest, they were all just alright. The food: Roast Pork Special- Fried Eggplant, Provolone, Broccoli Rob- The texture of the pork came off a bit dry, the eggplant was good but kinda gets lost in the sandwich so if I literally had it on it's own I would have appreciated it more but who eats fried eggplant by itself? The rob was nice it added a nice crunch but didn't offer that much flavor. Giuseppe Special- Eggplant parm, meatballs, melted mozzarella. I couldn't get over how soggy the bread was. It was like wet paper towel to me. Soggy bread and everything kinda tasting the same made it underwhelming. Nicky Special- It just tasted like salad in between bread. There was so much veg, that was the main thing I remember in that sandwich.
