The food is first rate and freshly made .I particularly love the breakfast sausage patties they serve .There are lots of good choices to try. Service is efficient and simple ,upon walking in place your order and your food is brought to your table . The ambiance of the place is a little low-key .The star of this place is the food not the atmosphere .The food's quality overshadows the atmosphere. That's the real reason I enjoy this little place so much.

I love their food. Good price. Nice staff. It's got a cool atmosphere…read more This place hasn't been consistent with hours. Frustrating because I drive out of my way to eat there. Just last week on Jan 13th or 14th..... it was 730am. The door was locked. I see someone clearly back there behind the kitchen doors. It sucks because now I don't feel like driving down anymore. I have been recommending this place to everyone too. Customers shouldn't have to call ahead of time to see if you're open during your normal hours of operation. Great food though. A successful restaurant requires consistency, and unfortunately for this business, it isn't consistent. Damn shame.

New York Corner Deli was our breakfast place when we stayed at Topsail Beach in the summer of 2022,…read moreand at Surf City in the summers of 2025 and 2026. Conveniently located in the center of Topsail Island, it was a 15-minute drive from our 2022 Airbnb stay. With next two stays at Saltwater Suites in 2025, the drive was less than 5 minutes. In the three stays, we had breakfast here six times. It had everything we wanted. My son and I are sticklers for routine. In the first four visits, we ordered the same thing: 2 scrambled eggs with toast & home fries for me, and pancakes for him. Orders were placed at the counter. Then we went upstairs to the dining area and waited for the orders to be served. There were no issues with the order, food or service during these visits. In both 2022 visits, I had coffee; in both 2025 visits, I had Mountain Dew. Refills are free for both coffee and soda. My order tasted better than a similar one I had at Tick Tock Diner in New York City. It was great value for money. I always felt that I ate enough to last me through lunch. There was no reason to try anything different. Unlike Tick Tock Diner, NY Corner Deli did not have any TVs in the dining area. I appreciated this as we go to the beach to get away from the world. Furthermore, there weren't many people in the dining area whenever we were here (before 9am). Can't speak for the dining experience at any other time of the day. Things were slightly different when we visited in 2026. Pancakes were not available, so son had french toasts in both visits. In the first visit, I ordered my usual; in the second visit, I tried something different and ordered western omelet (with toast & home fries). Don't let the photo fool you. The western omelet was bigger than it looked. "Hearty" is an understatement. It was so filling that I skipped lunch and had a light dinner. Mountain Dew was no longer available as the establishment defected to Coca-Cola, so I had Coke Classic both times. If you like a decent breakfast and a quiet atmosphere, New York Corner Deli is the place to be. It will continue to be our breakfast place whenever we are in the Topsail / Surf City area.

Welcome to the NY Corner Deli, a bizarre, whiplash-inducing cafe located just a seashell's throw…read morefrom the ocean that is trying hard to mimic a gritty Manhattan bodega, despite the fact that you can literally smell coconut sunscreen from the front door. The walls are covered in black-and-white prints of the Brooklyn Bridge, sepia-toned yellow cabs, and metal street signs screaming Broadway and 5th Ave. The seating is divided into two thrillingly average, non-beachy options: Upstairs or Downstairs. Both levels feature the exact same standard-issue, wobbly metal diner chairs, with vinyl tables upstairs. The menu is an everything menu, nothing specific, no specialties, consider this a one stop shop for anytime of the day. It serves up a breakfast that is heavy, completely unpretentious, and designed to fill you to the brim. Like the rest of the menu, it doesn't aim for culinary innovation; it aims for maximum density and they are open when everyone else is closed. By the time you scrape the plate clean, you are utterly, heavily full and ready to take on the day. Cheers!

DH and I discovered this little Italian deli and market, so we decided to buy some sandwiches for…read morelunch. There's no tables, but we were able to sit at a counter. I ordered the chicken parmesan sub sandwich, which was good but it seemed mostly bread. The chicken pieces were small and also breaded. Too much breading for me. The red sauce was excellent. DH had the sausage and pepper sub, which he really enjoyed. We had a choice of a size ,so we both ordered the macaroni salad. Not my favorite, as it was a little too sweet. They sell meats, cheese, cured meats, olives, canned goods, various pastas, sweets, etc. Having read the reviews here, I may try the Reuben sandwich next time we are in the area.

Small store with good dry foods selection, dedicated to sauces, pasta, frozen Italian dishes(I'll get to that) cookies etc...in back, is take out magic (selections are frozen too, great choices/prices) ...sandwiches choices make it hard to pick one...I chose an Italian classic. It may seem pricey, BUT the small sandwich is piled high with meat and trimmings, the large is absolutely huge, would end up with 3 servings for me...I would say stop by this place every week or even twice a week for a sandwich AND pick up a frozen main dish for dinner...you'll love this place, it's quality, taste, and value for FRESH made Italian!!!!

Sfoiatella pastry is to die for its very authentic freshly made crispy. They do put powdered sugar on it so if you pre-order for pick up on another day, they will do it without the sugar. I'm not a big fan of the egg and cheese sandwiches. I'll be honest I think it's just me finding what the right cheese mix is or maybe it's the role because it's very like a Kaiser roll but very fluffy. Maybe I have to have that scooped out. The eggs just don't do it for me and I can't put finger on it! They made great deli sandwiches though for my friends and I boat trip!
