The deli food was very good but the guy at counter was busy on the phone other wise very good experience

This old school Italian deli tucked away in sleepy Windsor Terrace makes the most delicious sandwiches in town at a very reasonable price. It's a family run business and has been a staple in the neighborhood for over 20 years + My favorite is turkey on a roll with lettuce tomato hot peppers oil and vinegar salt and pepper with some mustard and a side of macaroni salad! They do catering so keep that in mind ! read more

Friendly service....Delicious food...Easy to reach location...Reasonable prices... Many people go there specifically for their eggplant and chicken parm ~ so call and order ahead! Enough said? read more

Was waiting for my kids to finish at the photo store and I was hungry. Saw John's Dei across the street and ordered a ham, Swiss, turkey sandwich with lettuce tomato and Mayo. Usually, a lot of places mess up on this simple sandwich but not John's deli. Good portion of meats for the price. Guy working behind counter very friendly and nice. Great neighborhood spot. read more

See all

John's Deli has been a fixture in Windsor Terrace for more years that I can remember. I stopped in to grab a sandwich and I was disappointed. I ordered an Italian Combo, and I took it to go. This was the classic case of quantity, not quality. There was nothing remarkable about it, it had way too many roasted peppers, and way too much vinegar. I sorry, but I will not be back! read more

John's Deli - Cozy spot with consistently delicious sandwiches! - Convenience Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great homemade food from a great staff John and the boys are the BEST around Brooklyn! Stop in for a HERO sometime.

I eat here whenever I can- beef or chicken stew, meatloaf, lasagna, breakfast sandwiches, bagels (try the pumpernickel. Trust me!), coffee & soft drinks from the cooler- it's all good! I have been known to/rumored to/accused of planning my work schedule around the menu. Seriously. Excellent customer service. Incredible food. It's a win-win! read more

John's Deli Is the neighborhood go to for any small time groceries, like milk or bagels if you don't want to run to the supermarket. I apartment/cat sat in the neighborhood so John's Deli was easy go to for me read more

These guys are seriously the best. Great sandwiches and bagels and their prepared foods are delicious too. They kept Windsor Terrace stocked up when the pandemic was at its height, so all us KWT folks appreciate that more than their awesome food. The lads are all super nice too, proper old school NY vibe. read more

If you've lived in Brooklyn for a long time, like over 20 years, you're bound to know from a good Italian deli. I grew up near a place on Smith street called Joe's Superette, that made the most amazing prosciutto balls you ever did taste. Going to John's deli takes me back to that magical (long since closed) place. The joy of this place is the possibilities. When you walk in there, there's this whole amazing spread, that changes every day. There's really nothing like walking into John's at lunchtime. Are you going to get a perfect deli sandwich on fluffy as a cloud bread? Or pasta with clams sauce and a side of broccoli with garlic? Many props to Maria, the cook, who knows how to make things right. Her eggplant and chicken Parmesan is incredible. The beef stew is fantastic. I dream of the ditalini with bacon and peas, but I try to stay away for my waist's sake. It doesn't hurt that they also have a great beer selection, and the service is fantastic. I'm very lucky to be close enough to come here all the time. If you live nearby and you're not a regular, you're missing out! read more

Windsor Terrace peeps, you can breathe a sigh of relief. There's another option out there! Conveniently located next to the Ft. Hamilton subway stop too. This convenience store has just come under new management (which I only report because there's a giant sticker on the window that says so). So, whatever that means. They have another location in Bay Ridge. For being such a small deli, it's not too shabby, and actually much bigger and cleaner than the others nearby. Their menu boasts a lot of options. Breakfast (omelettes, french toast, sandwiches), Cold sandwiches, Hot sandwiches, Burgers, specialty sandwiches, platters . . . you name it! Their hero sandwiches are HUGE. I'm talking the size of my face huge. Their breakfast sandwiches have helped me through some rough mornings, if you know what I mean. And I think you do. They also have a lot of good beer options. So now I can come home from work and celebrate properly.* They're open 7 days a week, 7 am to 9 pm. There's an ATM that has a charge of $1.75. Free delivery with a minimum $12.00 order. And apparently they do a lot of catering too. It's a nice option for those of us in Windsor Terrace squalor (just kidding . . . mostly). __________ * By which I mean passing out and forgetting the past 9 hours of failure. read more

OK, so I've been visiting these guys for almost 1 year now. I can't say this about many places: I visit John's at least once a week. I love it. I'm upping my stars to 5 because these guys deserve it. The service is consistent, the place is always spotless, and they always have everything I need in stock and at very reasonable prices. The owners at Blonde's, the other deli around the corner, stand outside their store and smoke cigarettes every time I walk by. I see them when I get off the subway after work every day. Maybe it's just their designated smoking time? Maybe they do it all day long. One more reason to visit John's over that place. read more

Glad we explored John's Deli, wanted really good roast beef, not boars head, but the kind that is made in house. John's had it and it was excellent!! We got a pound of the roast beef to take back to Pennsylvania and had them make a sandwich for us to take to Dyker Heights for the lights. I had a lot of special requests on the sandwich and all were satisfied without any fuss. 100% EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE A+++++++++++++. Will make this our go to place when traveling from PA for good roast beef, sandwiches, bagels and bread!!! read more

A friendly, family-owned deli. Right on the way to or from the subway. A must go-to place for the neighborhood.

Great local deli, with fresh bagels from La Bagel Delight. Seriously one of the cleanest, most orderly delis I've ever set foot in. Friendly staff, too. read more

Very good neighborhood deli. They make their own food and will make any kind of sandwich for you. Their snack options are always fresh and pretty diverse. read more

Honestly, my favorite Deli I have ever patronized. My friend's live above it, and John's become my go-to spot for the week. The "boys" as they say are the most welcoming and charming men. The bagels are bomb. They even had kombucha in stock. I owe my sanity to John's. read more

A family run/owned business with consistently great food and service. Honestly the food is better here than at a lot of the restaurants I go to in park slope. read more

I like this place, I really do. I really enjoy their sandwiches and cole slaw, I'm happy that they are conveniently close to The Juice Box and have pretty much anything I need in a quick fix. Are they over priced? Yes. Do they sometimes have an attitude? Yes....and this is why I can't give them 4 stars. I have been here at least 30 times in the past year for various products, the convenience, cleanliness and selection are what keep me coming back. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago I was in there with two friends from out of town and watched the employees not make eye contact and almost act annoyed at my friends ordering. It was mid-afternoon, they weren't busy, I'm not sure what the deal was but it was obvious they (not the owner) were being snotty to us. Sorry Mikes, I really like you guys and sometimes I still come in, when I do, you're spot on and super nice again?!? read more

super friendly staff member made me this incredible chicken parm i was in and out in 5 minutes highly recommend read more

John's Deli - chicken parmesan hero - Convenience Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a Deli like the delis I grew up with... Food in trays-- damn good. Fresh and home cooked (not greasy). Great for a quick meal. They bring their bagels in from La Bagel Delight, they are good. However, the odd flavors are sometimes a day old. They have a few good household items and well-stocked fridge of eggs, butters, soy milk, cheese etc etc. They are not cheap but they are certainly not gentrified Brooklyn prices. read more

Been going here my entire life. This place always has the best freshest food and they have never gotten an order wrong in the hundreds of times I've ordered. The folks are friendly but no-nonsense and remember their customers and take special requests within reason. Always a great selection and a clean deli counter. read more

DON'T buy food from here. I should have learned my lesson when I bought milk from here and while the date was over 7 days away, when I got home it was curdled! Then I stupidly got one of their "homemade" dishes. I got food poisoning from chicken cutlets! They can't be keeping the food at appropriate temps! Dirty read more

I stop at John's deli at 8:40 in the morning sorry to say my experience was not good at all with the food. The place is very clean, the stuff seems nice but they keep to themselves. There was only 2 or 3 people there. I guess it was too early. I had sunny-side up, home-fries sausages with toast and a large cuppa coffee. The eggs were not well done they look gooey and mushy the potatoes were very orange and hard. The sausage was OK. My toast was cold and had way too much butter. I was hungry and I really needed to eat before going back to work. I could not eat all my food. I had to throw away more than half of my food because it was hard, cold and gooey. The coffee was OK. I'm sorry but I will never eat my breakfast there again. read more

I dont love this place. I find them to be overpriced. also, the people there can give off a douchy vibe.

Great deli selection good pasta with meat sauce every Saturday and Wednesday better than most red gravy restaurants. The best meatballs around fantastic roast beef and good made in store potato salad read more

I like going here to get bagels in the morning. It's so clean and everything is always fresh. There is a real sense that they care. The subs are also really good, my kids like them too. They also have those Arizona $1.00 tallboys like the Arnold Palmer lite kind. They provide excellent customer service and they are reliable. Can't beat that. read more

This place is better than all of the new "upscale" places combined! They make a mean chicken parm, and they have stouffers French bread pizza in the freezer! What more could a guy ask for? If they got manhattan special on tap, I might just have to move into this place! read more

Love this place! Always friendly! Always good- real neighborhood place. Real Brooklyn. Although it's Mikes Deli now- same place - I believe Mike is John's cousin who took it over when John fell on hard times. Good guy! read more

My husband and I are late bloomers when it comes to John's Deli. We only recently started patronizing them even though we've been in the neighborhood for years, and we're hooked! The guys are old school Brooklyn sweethearts and the prepared home-cooked food is out of this world. We've tried at least 7 or 8 different dishes there and they've all been great -- both the entrees and sides. We also enjoy some of their daily specials like the crumb cake. Lastly, John's is literally the only place in the City where I will still have an Italian deli meat hero sandwich. Love them. read more

It is conveniently located. It is clean. Those things are true, just as the previous reviewer said. But there's a reason this place is empty every time I walk by. The prices are absolutely absurd. When I got a breakfast sandwich (2 eggs, cheese and bacon on a roll) and was charged $4.25, I grabbed a menu on the way out to see if he had made a mistake. It was no mistake, but it *was* a rip-off. Then I had a look at the other prices on the menu and compared a basic: a turkey hero. To get the sandwich the way I like it (which is nothing special), it would cost $7.50! How is this possible? Because the base price is $6 and then you start getting nickeled and dimed for everything. Lettuce, that'll be another 25 cents. Tomato, same thing. cheese 75 cents. And the list goes on and on. Maybe I've just been lucky, but every place I go has all of that included in the base price. Keep in mind that this is all with the same Boar's Head products that everybody else uses. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Well stocked, fresh donuts on Thursdays and Saturdays, friendly staff...a great neighborhood deli. I'm in there several times a week and have found obscure common baking supplies as well as basic staples. I wish the people working in every store I went into were this friendly. On a first name basis with all their regular customers and know the quirks of your order before you have to say it. The promise of their fresh donuts every Thursday and Saturday (brought in from some fabulous place in Bay Ridge) is how I get my kids out of bed! We'd be lost without John's Deli. read more

Food is excellent, service is great. It's nice to have a family business in the neighborhood. I highly recommend!

The breakfast sandwiches like egg and cheese are delicious! Also has a mini grocery store for many food items. Convenient and clean. Good friendly service too. read more

Pricey but they can get away with it, being one of the only bodegas in the area. But it is a nice, clean place, the sandwiches are decent enough and the service is speedy. read more

Nice neighborhood deli. They are kind and hardworking people. Their sandwiches and hot food are amazing ! I catered a tray of sandwiches for my daughter's birthday.. yummmyy! read more

Nice place with great food and customer service is great. I can get an awesome cup of coffee and a bagel, have a seat and wait for my doggie to get groomed. read more

This is the real deal deli. They make great sandwiches. They have great coffee. They have everything you need. The best part about John's deli is John. He is kind and always has a great attitude. It's a family business and his family is lovely. It has an old school charm. I sometimes pay early in the week and get my coffee/water/quest bars before I hit the subway. Their bagels are great and you can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches or pre made food. They are good people and run a great, hard working and honest business. read more
