At night Barbie's screaming and groanin And then squealing and cooing and moanin But it's not from being sexed In fact she is quite vexed It's the runs from her dinner from Ronan. Ronan's Deli was somewhat delightful because the guy was so enthusiastic about his own food. He basically has a buffet and when you go late, it's cheaper - but it's been sitting out all day so they should probably be giving it away LOL. Anyway all the food here was pretty good and the pricing wasn't too bad either. I would have gotten a lot more food except I didn't really want to get full so I didn't get that much and still had to pay the same price which is kind of annoying. Still a good place to eat some great food and they have a lot of Irish dishes on their menu which I'll have to try another time. Except it says they're closed down. Ugh. I blame Ronan Keating and Ronan The Barbarian. read more

Authentic Brazilian food - like the best your mom would make. Delicious!!! It may not a high end restaurant but I would eat there every day if I could! read more

When I arrived at the restaurant, there was only very slim pickings. I got stewed meat, rice and zucchini. The food was not fresh, but I was very hungry. I paid $37 for what looked like leftovers. read more

I learned the hard way today to not order sandwiches at this place. No one behind the deli counter knew what they were doing. I ordered an Italian sub and it had the wrong meat, no veggies and some kind of cheese that at first I legit thought was slices of potatoes. Never going back. read more

Oliveiras Deli Market - "Italian sub" - Delis Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Pros: -Interesting deli/prepared foods/convenience store combo! -International (primarily Brazilian/Irish) sweets/groceries -Owners running register/deli were very nice The owner's husband is Brazilian and they took over an Irish deli, so Ronan's now serves Brazilian, Irish, and American fare at the deli and they have several aisles (yes, full aisles!) of Brazilian and Irish sweets and groceries in addition to typical American convenience store items. -- Caprese Sandwich ($6.96 with tax) About 8". Featured large pieces of mozzarella, nicely sliced tomato, and basil. However, the balsamic was barely there. While I prefer less instead of too much, more would have been better. read more

Ronan's Deli just opened, hooray! Ronan's is a deli and convenience store that offers sandwiches, soups, and assorted hot specials. They feature fresh meats such as chicken and steak. I had their steak tips that I grilled at home and they were very tasty!! I have had the potato soup and the beef stew and they are excellent! Homemade taste, absolutely delicious. They also have a convenience store section with snacks and other things to grab and go. The owner and his crew are extremely warm and friendly I am excited to see what other deliciousness I will have from there in the future! read more

At Ronan's Deli, you are guaranteed great customer service and easy access to authentic Brazilian and Irish goods in their product aisles (ex. chocolates, crackers, spices, drinks, desserts, and etc.) However, Ronan's Deli is more than just a convenience store. What makes this place so unique is their hot foods. My fiance who doesn't enjoy eating meat at all, fell in love with their marinated steak tips. I was also blown away by how well they marinated their steak tips. Not only that, they cooked the steak tips to perfection. I also tried their steak bomb sandwich and it did not disappoint. This place also offers breakfast food all day so if you are ever in a mood for some delicious breakfast food in the middle of the night, make sure to hit this place up. This is definitely a great addition to the neighborhood and I really do think their steak tips will take over the entire Brighton area pretty soon. If you live in the area, MAKE SURE TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! read more

I spoke too soon with my previous review. Oliveira's is, in fact, NOT as good as it used to be as Ronan's. I ordered a burger a few months ago and it might have been the worst burger I have eaten in all of Boston, tasting as if it had been frozen, then over cooked beyond all recognition. Under the Ronan Administration, that burger would have been perfect, and one of the most sumptuous burgers in all the neighborhood. No longer the case. Even the barbecue these days tastes drier and less flavorful. A few items on the menu are still tasty, but it is indeed a shadow of what it once was. Sigh. read more

Good deli, very nice hard working people, i highly encourage you to check it out, there is also a hot bar that is buffet style that people really seem to enjoy, but I just use the deli for like steak and such. read more

Cannot wait for summer to get here so we can start buying their marinated meats to grill outside! This establishment was formerly a butcher shop, and Ronan's Deli still maintains that concept. Their marinated meats are on display in the back. If you have questions about the different meats and how they are marinated, ask away! The service here is so friendly. They really embody the Brazilian hospitality. As the name of this establishment implies, they are also a deli and hot food and subs can be ordered. They have a lot of neat goodies in their aisles that range from American, Brazilian, and Irish. I am a fan of Brazilian chocolate bars, and they had a good variety in stock. Unfortunately, I'm holding off on sweets until after my wedding...but I will be back for them and the meat! read more

I checked this place out because I was working in the area for a couple of weeks. BOMB food at the hot bar and it's different every day. Corned beef chunks the size of your hand with cabbage and HOT, never cold. Today I had the beef stew and the beef chunks were the size of tennis balls and TASTY. This place is a jem. Plate by the pound so be careful because you might me paying $12 if you get carried away. 6.99/lb. read more

Wow! What a great place & atmosphere - with fantastic food & customer services! I've had many Irish breakfasts in my time and Ronan's is at the top of the list!! Brazilian will be my next choice from the menu. Come on down one and all!! read more

Yummy fish and chips - light, fluffy and tasting of FRESH fish, not batter! Very cheerful shop, and so clean. While eating there, several people came in to order hot dinners. Everything smelled and looked delicious. read more

Their food is fantastic! Always ready in a timely fashion, I recommend anything with the basil mayo- it is out of this world. Prices are a bit expensive but you get a lot of good food and flavor. read more

Great meat selection. The ny strip is amazing. Gteat sausages and marinated tips. I go there all the time for a nice cut of steak

Unfortunately since being sold and given a new name, Oliveira's Deli, the quality of this place has gone down tremendously. Ronan and his wife, along with the old staff, made this place a charismatic, family-friendly business that felt like home with fantastic food; the burgers were some of the best in Boston! However, since selling the business and changing the name that is no longer the case. The crowded store with high shelves make the place feel claustrophobic and uninviting; it has turned into a big box store in miniature form. The staff are not as friendly, and will barely say a word to you. Two of the staff, who worked at the old Ronan's, are still a pleasure and it is a joy when they are there. Otherwise there's no communication with them now and we're extremely outgoing people who really enjoyed having a conversation here and watching as their kids grew up over the years. I've talked about the atmosphere, but what about the food? It seems by diversifying their products they have forgotten to give customers the same quality food as before. Nowadays, the Brazilian BBQ (a huge draw) is filled with over-cooked meat that has been burned and the food in the hot bar has obviously been sitting there for hour hours, possibly even a day or two, without being stirred or replaced. The cooks themselves making the food are not as talented...Ronan truly was the best cook around, but now, medium-rare burgers come out well-done. The steak and cheese sandwiches fall apart when picked up, rendering them unedible as a sandwich and with a distinct lack of flavor. The pre-marinated meats no longer have flavor as well and often everything just tastes bland, or burned, or overcooked. We used to visit Ronan's at least once a week and had made it a tradition every friday; this place deserved 5 stars back then. However, now, the place deserves 2 stars and we've been there maybe twice in the last month. What used to be one of our favorite places to go to in the area has now become our least and we actively choose to go to the other restaurants now over this place. Now, the line, "hmm, should we go to ronan's?" gets responded with "no they suck now." Overall...really disappointed in the quality now and we wish this place would become good again. Have Ronan teach you guys how to cook and treat customers or you may end up losing the rest of your regulars. read more

Fantastic service & unbelievable food! A must try! read more

Oliveiras Deli Market - Soooooooo good! - Delis Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Love this place! It has become our Friday night dinner tradition. Our favorite is to get the Bacon Cheese burger with fries, and I like to add a portobello on as well. They also do great hot food and salads. As much as it is a deli, they offer so much more. read more

Had the fish fry tonight, shrimp & clams, amazing. Crisp, clean & Fresh. Staff is so friendly. read more

Got meat from the meat counter and chicken curry from the prepared food section. Chicken curry was perfect - loads of chicken, not like other places that fill the serving with all sorts of other stuff and are light on the main ingredient. Ronan was very friendly and very receptive to feedback. Bought sausages from the meat counter and they are as good as any you will get in Boston and better than any available around Brighton - you have to go to Dorchester to get the same quality. I will try his steak, chicken and other stuff over time and plan on being a regular in this very friendly place. Dave O read more

Tried the house marinated steak tips and they were great. The guy behind the counter was very helpful. I will be back to try th other flavored and house made sausages. read more

Tried Ronan's yesterday for a sandwich. Sandwich was great. I can't wait to go back and try some of the hot items. Lot's of variety! Good luck to these guys. They are very nice people. read more

I've lived in Oak Square for 7 years now and I LOVE being able to have variety in where I shop within walking distance. Everyone is so friendly here and you're always greeted when you walk in the door. I only came in for the large variety of meats up until recently,(which you CAN'T get at Kiki's) but now I come in for the turkey sub. The basil mayo really blew me away! I can't stop thinking about it and what a delicious twist it puts on an old favorite. I have to try the prepared foods after seeing the photos and rave reviews on this site. I should also add that every time I shop for meat here, if they don't have what I'm looking for out front, my man behind the counter will either pull the chicken wings out of the cooler, or grind the steak into ground beef right out front. read more

What a great deli! I usually pick up breakfast here on the weekends and its always delicious and very well priced. For a plate with two scrambled eggs w/cheese and onions, home fries, toast, and (deliciously crunchy) bacon, it's a only $7.50! Can't beat that. The service is great and the food is right up there. So happy this is nearby :) read more

Great selection for groceries, subs, hot food, deli--even a bit of produce. Run by a super nice family who offers everything you could want and it's all very good. Oh and the hype around the steak tips is real. read more

Roast beef lunch wasnt even suitable for my dog, he charged $11 and gave me a 1.5 lbs of fat. The meat was ruff and couldn't be cut with the plastic cutlery. Not even one slice of meat was edible, i wont buy anything other than drinks from this place. read more

Finally, somebody has got this storefront's niche market correct. With the Kiki's powerhouse across the street, I feel like this has been a difficult corner for business owners to get a fix on. Walking in to Ronan's for the first time today, I am greeted not only by fully stocked shelves, but by two or three gentlemen who are immediately VERY friendly and attentive --- even after I told them I was just looking around. The fresh meat counter is stocked with exactly the right meats at the right prices for the neighborhood and competes with (sometimes beats) Stop & Shop prices. Boneless middle meats (New York Strip, Rib Eye) for about $8-9/pound, marinated tips that look fresh and appetizing, pork loin chops in the self service and full service case, piles of fresh, jointed chicken wings for Football season, what appear to be house made sausages, etc. etc.; nice looking streaky bacon, but almost as importantly they have proper rashers that are cut correctly with a portion of both the loin and belly in tact on one slice, and appear to be cured in house, which you can't get at a supermarket. Though their website says "created by a Brazilian," the Irish stuff tells me the owners have clearly researched their target market. However, in addition to being able to get bangers, rashers, and black/white pudding, I'm confident that I might be able to call up and get myself a picanha if I need one! There are hot soups, hot coffee, and hot bar meals available, also. But I really just can't get over the fresh meat counter. I really think that a proper fresh meat counter with good service is the only thing that Oak Square/Brighton Center has been missing. Many storefronts have tried, but I think Ronan's will succeed. Now, you can get everything you need for groceries for the week without going to a supermarket at all within walking distance, thanks to Ronan's! Good luck to this business! read more

Ronan's Deli is a breath of fresh air in the Brighton area. If you are a Kiki's fan (as I was and still am), you should also check out this place. The people are nice, the meats are fresh, and food (subs, sandwiches, eggs, soup) is homemade and extremely delicious. Just try the food...you won't regret it. read more

Looking for a quick lunch. Stumbled upon this little gem. Clean bright and very friendly staff. My son ordered a cheeseburger club and me a bacon cheeseburger. Quick/hot and very tasty. We noticed the all you could eat buffet after ordering. Looked like great Brazilian items. Definitely will try this next time!! read more

Great to have Ronan's Deli in the neighborhood. The meat and fish are really fantastic as is the deli stuff. I bought some of the best salmon I've ever had at Ronan's 3 weeks ago and now I buy all my meat from him. Grocery section is a bit lean but some of that may have to do with the fact that he opened right before all of the storms. Super nice guy on top of it all. Ask for the Brazilian and Filipino dishes. We need people and places like this in Brighton. read more

Ronan's is so much more than a deli.....Friday - Fish and Chips!! Best fish and chips in town!!! Good prices as well!!! Great customer service!!! A must visit!! All their fish are freshly sourced, offering a large variety to choose from! Great food, great prices for a home cooked meal without going home and cooking. if you prefer to cook, quality fish and meat selections. Just picked up some fabulous Rib Eye steaks for the grill. Delicious Homemade soups! read more

Class A service, nice family run deli with delicious homemade hot food bar and a variety of Latin American and Irish food. My husband and I come every week and have a nice chat with the owner Ronan and his family. It's a welcoming and homey environment! read more

Excellent! Friendly staff, cool menu, fantastic beef tips! Visiting from Chicago and was instantly grateful I decided on Ronan's! You won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing Irish breakfast sandwich! Oh my goodness. Cant wait to get more food from there.

As a guy who grew up in Dorchester I expected the Irish breakfast sandwich to be better. It wasn't even close to Greenhills. On the plus side, the rest of their menu looks good and the place is very clean. The coffee/tea setup is convenient. I will certainly give it another try, just not for the breakfast sandwich. read more

Well the subs are tiny. And are not as good as kiki mart. And when I mean the subs are tiny. They are pre school lunch tiny. Good deli though. And good fresh meat and seafood and hot and cold sides. Good breakfast. But opening up next to kiki mart isn't smart. read more

Fantastic service and an excellent selection of Irish,American, and Brazilian products! The steak tip sub and Irish breakfast roll are highly recommend along with their high quality meats. A very well run family establishment with some of the nicest people I have ever met! read more

Been here twice in the last week. First time had some chicken & potatoes from the hot bar, and it did not disappoint. And the guys behind the counter were super friendly, so I decided to go back today to get some meat to grill. Got the steak tips in the house marinade and they were delicious. Real happy to have them in the neighborhood. read more

As a Brazilian,born and raised, I always feel at home when eating at Ronan's deli. His "Brazilian food" selection is great and his rice and beans are better than the ones my grandma used to make back in Minas Gerais. He also has a great selection of desserts and Brazilian products. Besides the great food Ronan himself always provide the best customer service and his place is always clean and organized ! If you are looking for great food(not only Brazilian) great service and awesome prices, Ronan's deli is the spot in Brighton !!! read more
