I saw Momofuku noodles, Italian ingredients, artisan cheeses, and Jen's ice cream in the freezer. Even though the items on their shelves were interesting, what they're really known for are their sandwiches. Their spicy Steve is an Italian sandwich on house made focaccia and it's their best seller. The sandwich was well dressed and loaded with flavor. I also got a "steak BLT", a delicious roast beef sandwich on sliced country bread. Olives is not scared of acid , which gives great tangy flavor along with their creamy aiolis. My wife and I enjoyed both of these sandwiches and I'd definitely come back for that spicy Steve

Recently stopped by Beach City Deli & BBQ after seeing recommendations online and decided to order…read morethe Big Kahuna. Honestly, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY…read more Free 8 inch cold sandwich for VIP members (6 Way Italian not included) Big Bucky (choice of 3 meats) 6 way Italian is my usual go-to, so it's unfortunate the sandwich is no longer included in the birthday month promo. But, I understand. That particular sandwich is loaded with 6 kinds of meat. The contingency sandwich became the Big Bucky, w/ the choice of 3 meats. Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.

They have all your typical liquor store needs: alcohol, sodas, snacks, beach items, etc. But they also come packed with fruits and veggies and favorite premade lunch/dinner items. You'll find an extensive selection of coleslaw, sandwiches, desserts, pre-marinated meats and more. I recently grabbed a turkey sandwich on a hoagie roll and a slice of lemon bundt cake (my payment for doing a social activity.) I noticed several people ordering their large steamed artichokes, so I'll need to return to fully understand the hype! Their catering menu is pretty extensive - it legit includes 20+ meat options. I definitely plan to take advantage of this when my parents visit next.

The location is convenient and right on the corner, with decent seating and a good vibe from the music. I was also greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff was quick to start taking my order and directed me to the burrito menu. I did have to take a moment to look over everything, but service overall was friendly and attentive. The coffee was actually pretty good, priced around $2.99-$3.99 with a few creamer options. As for the food, the burrito itself was okay--good, but nothing extraordinary or better than what you could make at home. It comes with meat, egg, cheese, salsa, and additional add-ons like potatoes and extra cheese are charged separately. My main concern was the condition of the space: it felt very cluttered, with items stacked everywhere and a noticeable lack of cleanliness that made it hard to overlook. While the atmosphere and convenience have their appeal, I would rate the experience a 3.2 out of 5 overall, mainly due to cleanliness concerns and the food not quite living up to the hype. Total $18 large coffee no refills and the burrito pretty pricey

It doesn't get much more authentic than Angelo's Italian Deli…read more A few of my LB local friends had raved about this sandwich shop, so it easily rose to the top of my must-visit list. These sandwiches are absolutely stacked. In fact, mine lasted 3+ meals. I ordered the turkey sammie, which came layered with the most delicious cheese, thin slices of turkey, tomato, lettuce, on a fresh hoagie. Their interior is the cutest Italian grocer, stocked with any product you might need to transport you straight to Italy. Angelo's truly thought of all the small touches and I can't recommend this local biz enough.

I tried the Torpedo sandwich, and while it was good, I realized I personally prefer hot sandwiches over cold ones so for me, the food was just okay this time. That said, I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying other items on the menu. The ambience is pretty quiet since most people seem to grab their food to go rather than dine in. It's more of a quick stop spot than a place to hang out. Overall, a solid place to check out if you're in the 2nd Street area, especially with the great service.

One of my favorite guilty pleasures is the recent chopped trend that's been occurring on social for the last year or so. As a vegetarian, I tend to do a lot of my cooking at home as it's ensures I know exactly what's in my food and I don't have to second guess if I'm not at a vegan / vegetarian restaurant. NYC Chop Cheese has came across my fed a few times over the last year, but I hadn't had a chance to go until March of this year. My friends and I were leaving the beach and decided to finally give it a try. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a very personable front house lady named Shawntail who walked us through the menu and kept the vibes just right. She even informed me that she person was plant-based and shared that they're looking to expand the options for those that are interested in plant-based eating. We love inclusivity. I got the beyond chopped cheese... when I say fire, I mean . It was full of flavor as it was but the condiments kicked it up a notch!
