Fresh, flavorful food with friendly service. I arrived about 15 minutes before closing, and the staff were working toward breaking down for the day. Nonetheless, they were all pleasant (no eye-rolling at this establishment- which I hate to say seems to be the new normal!) and even let me sample something I had a question about... Chicken salad veggie pocket was fresh, crisp and full of fresh ingredients. The miso dressing is so good! Can't wait to be back in Buffalo so I can get it again. Decided to add a spinach feta pasta side, as well, but for my palate, the miso dressing is the star of the show! Keep up the good work, guys - thanks for the warm welcome for my first, but not last visit. read more

Sue's NY Deli - Chicken salad veggie pocket - DO NOT SKIP THE MISO DRESSING! - Delis Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Their new location at the corner of Main and Chippewa is now open! Great for lunch pickup or takeout since there is less seating than before (just 3 tables). The menu is similar to before: daily combo, soup, sandwiches, wraps, salads, desserts, etc. Same great crew and good service. Waited about 5 minutes in line then another 5-10 minutes for food. I ordered the tuna salad "veggie"... I meant to get the salad version but she asked if I wanted "regular", and not knowing what that was, I agreed. Turns out that was served in a thin pita. Still good! But the pita was so stuffed with delicious foods that it fell apart, so I enjoyed it as a salad anyway. read more

Gyro & Egg Breakfast Sandwiches 7/10 The meat isn't very fresh tasting, it probably came frozen. It's over cooked and very dry. I ended up taking half of it off. It comes with feta on it already, and you get a choice of cheese too, I picked more feta, but there's barely any on it at all. I was iffy about it being on a roll instead of a bagel or English muffin, but it actually works well for the sandwich. I think some tzatziki would be good on this too or a thin sliced tomato. And of course more Feta. Lentil vegetable soup - my coworker loved it. It was full of ingredients rather than broth. Salad ingredients are fresh. miso dressing was a little strange. 2 People were not a fan of it. read more

I ordered their tuna melt and fruit salad. The fruit was so fresh and juicy, the tuna melt was delicious. The sauce was a great touch. The staff was super friendly also. If I ever come back to Buffalo I will be getting lunch here again read more

Great food, quick and reasonably priced. Just what lunch place should be. I got a salad to-go and when I picked it up it looked like they had other good to-go options. read more

If you can't get ahold of me, I'm here @ Sue's. Eating the falafel wrap and rice pudding (yes, with cinnamon). Every day. Everyone has their own "favorite" lunch spot in the downtown Buffalo area. Don't listen to them unless it's Sue's - their hummus pitas have been consistently fresh and delicious for as long as I can't remember. *Warning* *Red alert* *Warning* their miso dressing is highly addictive. I put it on everything and eat it with my fork. Then my coworkers want some. This place is so good. Get it to go - the place is always packed! read more

Carry out only at the back entrance into City Hall. Excellent flavor. Portion exceed expectations based on pricing. read more

Sue's still has it. For an unassuming, inexpensive lunch, they always hit the spot. My go-to items are the avocado wraps, chicken "philly," and some of the sides they have out on display are generally delightful. In particular, they had an awesome spinach/macaroni/feta salad that I couldn't help but devour every bite of and a decent fruit salad as well. Their reuben is also near perfect with grilled bread, sauerkraut and delectably seasoned corned beef. I recommend it. Expect to wait up to 20-25m for lunch if you haven't ordered ahead, but it's worth it. The desserts/rice pudding/cheesecakes are also really reasonably priced. Recommended! read more

We ordered lunch from here and the general consensus is we won't be doing that again. First, the name NY Deli is deceiving. You cannot consider yourself a NY Deli if you don't even offer an assorted sub. Second, NY dell's offer a lot of meat, they definitely don't. Third, we each got different items and all of our food was very bland. The ham and cheese melt was a basic hot ham and cheese sandwich. The chicken shawarma was not a shawarma at all. It was frozen grilled chicken strips wrapped with lettuce and tomatoes. The salad was a decent size, and it's really hard to screw up a salad, but they barely give you enough dressing. I'm glad my first time trying this was for free because I would have been truly disappointed if I spent my money. read more

No carb salad is amazing and the miso dressing is so good! My sisters salad didn't come with it so she went back and switched her dressings because she loved it so much! read more

This is THE SPOT for breakfast or lunch l, especially if your work is conveniently right across the street. Must be honest they don't ask for my name anymore when I go pick up my breakfast sandwich.. I LOVE IT! Don't skip lunch either, so many great options with generous helpings of high quality meat:) staff is very friendly and willing to start conversation as well. Fantastic environment all together! read more

GET THE NO CARB PLATTER OR SUE SALAD. You will literally die and go to heaven. The miso dressing is God's nectar. Worst part is -- everything (every *clap* thing *clap*) is to dieeeee for.. Hours are eh. Always was packed at lunchtime before COVID. KEEP THIS BUSINESS OPEN FOREVER read more

This place recently changed its name. The owner originally owned Katz in NYC, and someone got injured eating a sandwich, and filed a lawsuit. The owner said 'nobody Sues MY Deli" and immediately closed up shop and moved to Buffalo. Then as a nod to their last words as owner of Katz, they opened this deli under the moniker "Sues MY Deli." It was all going swimmingly, until someone filed a trademark infringement lawsuit. Apparently there is already a Sues MY Deli. In New Delhi. So they changed one letter, and now all is well. What to get: Reuben. This came highly recommended by the three Alexs (yes the two Alexs just had a baby Alex. Don't ask me how. I guess they took their lead from Arnold in that movie. Not the "it's not a tumour" movie. The other one.)... and so I gave it a try. The Reuben was exceptional. I could eat this all day. And given that I am a very slow eater, I probably did eat this all day. Nom. (waits 20 mins). Nom. (waits 20 mins). Nom. It's my fave Reuben in town, easily, even above all the other awesome sandwich shops. Try it. Even Alex K loves it. It's juicy and fantastic and was definitely the best thing I tried here. They do close very early (2.30 but often earlier) and so you should get here early if you want to try it. I went there once at 2.15 and another time at 2.20-something, and both times they were surprisingly already closed. And remember. Nobody Sues MY Deli. read more

Stopped in for the daily special chicken wrap and soup. Large portion of the wrap. The soup was smaller but chicken noodle was ok

Great place for counter service to grab a bite to eat. They've got a good selection and their Reuben sandwich is excellent. Prices are reasonable and there is a small sit down area where you can eat or you can get it to go. This is a favorite work lunch spot for me given the combination of quality, speed, and price. read more

Sue's NY Deli - Delis Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I started working downtown and heard about this place a few times from coworkers. I won't lie, it's easy to miss this place, but the prices are decent for what they are, and what they serve. I've gone here twice this week, once for a breakfast sandwich, the other for lunch. I got eggs, cheese, and avocado on a roll, and it was ok. The avocado definitely could've been cut smaller, but it was a nice, tasty filling breakfast! Maybe a bit of seasoning on the eggs, but for a quick bite, it was perfect. I ordered a salad today, it had all the fixings: chicken, avocado, tomato, sprouts, cucumber, crunchy noodle, romaine lettuce. It was ok. Unfortunately, the salad lacked flavor, but the homemade house dressing was delicious. Again, avocado wasn't really cut up, but lots of it! I was able to just chop the rest myself. The lettuce out weighed the toppings, but I ate about 3/4 of the salad before being full. Chicken needs some seasoning, less grill time, maybe more toppings. Each time I've ordered, I've walked in 10-15 minutes later, and the order is getting bagged and ready to go. Friendly and fast service. Would I eat there again? Maybe, but defiantly worth the try if you're looking for a new variety of food that day. read more

So many choices, great specials! Made the walk down from Buffalo General Hospital, almost a mile but it beats the hospital cafeteria. I walked in about 10:30 AM and not all the lunch options were available but I was able to get there roast beef special with a salad. The roast beef was on nicely toasted Costanzo roll with Horseradish cream sauce and a side of chips and pickle. For a side I wanted one of their specialty salads but they were not available so I went with the cream of broccoli soup. Quick service, love the fact they have water out near the napkins and utensils. I wished I worked closer this would be a weekly stop! read more

Phenomenal service. Excellent food. Bread that will melt your heart. The people are nice and the food is just absolutely incredible. Glad I found this spot read more

FYI- No more omelettes or home fries hopefully I can save you some grief, with their new menu they discontinued their omelettes and home fries. They're offering breakfast sandwiches, pancakes and french toast along with regular toast/bagels coffee now. So save yourself some grief and look at their menu on their website before you call ahead! P.S. the avocado wrap is gods gift to the people. read more

WOW!! Delicious!! Friendly! Affordable!! I should have called ahead because they are BUSY at lunch (& based on their fan base, service and quality of food, I'd guess they're also busy for breakfast). Arrived just before 12:00pm and there was a long line. Luckily it moves pretty fast and everyone working at Sue's is really working well and efficient to keep us moving along. As a first timer, and reading all the reviews, I wanted to try everything! I decided on the special of Chicken Philly Wrap with spinach and feta salad. I put my order in and they moved on to the next person. While waiting in line, the tuna salad looked fantastic so I asked if I could sample. They were so busy. To my surprise, they included a small scoop in the to-go container! They had added a note to my order stub to include a bit! WHAT SERVICE!!! 5 STARS! Not only was it included in my to-go container, the woman taking orders made a comment to the man working behind her that "#8 wants to try the tuna salad." He put some in a small container for me to taste while I was waiting for my order to be made. I'm so impressed, was amazed at how delicious that was and can't wait to return to bring more business to such a deserving team. Back at the office, when opening the to-go container, the Chicken Philly wrap was still warm, the spin/feta salad had great flavor AND they include chips and a pickle. For less than $10!! What a deal! End result - with my weekly trips to Buffalo, and this wonderful place within a block from my office, I'll be back next week. And probably weekly until I've tried everything my palate is craving! read more

I can't believe I'm just discovering this place now! I was supposed meet a friend down the street during our lunch break but the place was closed...then we stumbled here. Oh my gosh am I glad we tried this place! I got the gyro wrap with a side of fresh fruit. It's the best gyro wrap I've ever had! The pita was so soft and flavorful, and the dill sauce that came with it was just unreal! You know how I know I loved it? Because I completely ignored the pickle!! You can always tell the quality of the restaurant by how fresh their fruit looks. I can't believe how fresh the fruit was! I have to go back and try their other delicious sides and sandwiches...probably tomorrow. read more

Sue's NY Deli - Gyro wrap - Delis Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I am responsible for booking catering at my work for meetings or events. For the last one, I decided to try someplace new and I was going only on the Yelp reviews of my friends because I had never been to Sue's myself. What a score! I ordered an assortment of sandwiches and the Sue's Salad. Nearly everyone in attendance asked where I had ordered from and raved about the salad. I was asked to order from them again. I watched a vegetarian in the group enjoy two hearty platefuls. She, in particular, expressed her enthusiasm more than anyone. Also, my boss was VERY pleased with the price. I won BIG points that day. Thank you Sue's NY Deli and everyone who recommended them! read more

There's a reason this place receives so many 4 and 5 stars reviews. This is as good as it gets!!! Their specials are a steal. For $6.45 I had a gyro greek wrap with a side of chips, pickle and one of their specialty salads (of which there are many!! tuna pasta, fruit salad, spinach and feta, the list goes on). What a steal! My wrap was perhaps the best gyro wrap I've ever had. The meat was so delicious and all the ingredients were crisp and in perfect proportion. Big chunks of feta cheese - just the right amount - lettuce, tomatoes and greek dressing, served in the softest pita ever. A cup of dill sauce was on the side. And don't even get me started on their rice pudding!!!!! Heaven! read more

Everything here is really just wonderful. I wish this place was across the street from wherever I happened to be at any given time so I could get an egg salad pita pocket. The food is super fresh (avocado wrap & egg salad pita are SO GOOD) and they make everything to order. The daily special is always a great deal too. They update their website daily (AWESOME!) to list the special- some type of sandwich or wrap with salad or a cup of soup. And this isn't just any salad... they have homemade pasta and rice salads and sometimes even fruit salad! They also treat their customers well. My fiance eats here almost every day (he works across the street... yes, I'm jealous) and one day the credit card machine was down. He didn't have any cash but the owner let him have the sandwich since he's in there all the time. Really awesome place for lunch! If you're downtown make it a point to stop here. read more

I am currently still eating my first meal from Sue's and had to write this anyway. I stumbled into Sue's because the place I had planned on going to for lunch was closed as it is MLK Jr. Day. Having never been here before, I read over the menu for a few minutes before deciding. Firstly, the menu has plenty of options, which was nice. Secondly, there were a decent amount of people, but the service was efficient and quick. I had planned to order a turkey melt but said tuna instead (still not sure why), but it ended up working in my favor because the tuna melt is great. I also wanted a salad, but the woman informed me it was a meal in itself. She offered to sort of recreate a simpler version of the salad as a side, which was very kind of her. All in all, everything is so delicious. I will be back, most assuredly. Now I have to go and finish my lunch. Thank you to everyone at Sue's for the wonderful food and service! read more

Great place, walked by here looking for something to eat around 1:00 and saw lots of people sitting here eating so figured it was a good sign. Ordered a Reuben Sandwich and a cup of Chili. Service was quick and the food was good, Chili was very tasty and you can tell it was prepared that day, the Reuben was good however I expected .... something more , the Corned Beef was tasty but I've certainly had more tender meat. That was my only gripe and quite frankly such a minor thing that didn't really spoil my meal If you're here and need a bite to eat this would be a good choice for sure. read more

I love going to Sue's for lunch! I work right down the street and come here every once in a while. Prices aren't too bad for downtown and appreciate all the vegetarian options. I mostly go for the falafel. I don't think I've ever had a bad sandwich yet and the falafel is nice and tender. I've been to other place where it has been really dry. Also, the Veggie chili is excellent and really hits the spot on a cold Buffalo afternoon. The line situation can be a little confusing some times and would be nice if there was a barrier to help organize it and the lobby can be a little nosy and hard to here orders being called out. But worth it once you bite into deliciousness. read more

It's good. It's cheap. It has a couple really really good vegan menu items. Might I recommend the avocado wrap? It's a delightful mix of flavors and textures. I've enjoyed everything I've eaten here, vegan or not. The staff is always friendly and I've found them to be very warm. The dollar to delicious ratio here is quite favorable, especially with the specials. Only downside? It's own popularity. It's not the sort of place you stop in, grab something quickly, and leave. Budget around 20 minutes. They work quickly, it's just that they are working quickly with a lot of people. read more

After finally both having the lunch time free, my boyfriend and I decided to head downtown to Sue's. Seeing that we are both students, having enough time to head from UB to downtown and get lunch between classes isn't exactly easy. I have to admit, that I was skeptical about how a simple deli had so many amazing reviews. I wondered what in the heck was so good about the place! But now I know! This family run business is downright delicious! I ordered the chicken philly, as it was the special. For the wrap and a side salad or soup, it was under like $7 I think. I got the lemon pepper pasta salad, but they had chicken waldorf salad, Moroccan couscous, and a few others (all of which could be used for my side!) My boyfriend got the chicken shwarma and turkey vegetable soup. We both pretty much wolfed down everything. My sandwich was warm, gooey, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend loved his food as well. I can't wait to come back here to try something else! Their special deals are a steal, and everything is cooked to perfection and tastes phenomenal. I just wish I was free around lunch time more often, because I will definitely be making another trek downtown for this! I wish they would extend their hours! read more

OMG. How have I worked down the street from this place since our office moved a few months ago and never tried it? SO GOOD! I will keep this really simple... Fresh, tasty, and cheap..... the total package. For $6 I ate the best chicken souvlaki I have ever tried and my friend got a veggie pita that was massive for $5.50 with a side of lentil rice with veggies for $2. The staff is super nice and the place is clean and easily accessible. I pledge right now to eat at this place every possible time I can. They also have tons of great looking vegan options which I will be exploring in the near future. If you work downtown and you don't eat at Sues you are messing up. read more

Everything is tasty, but the lentil spinach soup is absolutely to die for. Great lunch spot.

Sue's is a staple in my life. I have worked upstairs at Theater Place for 3 years and have gotten to know Al and his staff quite well. Not only is the food top quality and delicious, but the staff is warm and welcoming. They are on a first name basis with many of their patrons and you always get a genuine "Thank you" for placing your order. I can tell you that the produce and baked goods are all brought in and prepared fresh DAILY! Don't be fooled by such a small and somewhat discreet location, lunch is ALWAYS busy and if time is something that you don't have then be sure to CALL AHEAD! They will gladly make your food to order with enough time and you can even jump the line when you get there to pick up and pay! Another little tip: Their breakfast sandwiches and/or wraps are amazing!! read more

Sue's makes the best gazpacho in Western New York. I've been a happy customer for years and have never had a bad meal.

I feel so fortunate that my workplace is only a 10 minute walk from Sue's! Their avocado wrap is sooooo delicious. My sister and I have started meeting there for lunch once a week! She loves their chef salad and pita pockets. I always get the avocado wrap because it's too good not to get it! We split the chocolate cake too and I'm pretty sure it's the best chocolate cake I've ever had. My sister and I always call ahead because there is usually a long line. The staff is always efficient and courteous over the phone and in person. If you're going to be in the area for lunch, stop there because you won't regret it! Just call about 20 minutes ahead if you won't have time to wait in line. read more

When I walked in to Sue's NY Deli, the line to order coiled around the lobby and was at least 15 people deep, and I thought about walking away. But then I thought again, and that thought was, "Could the line be so long because the food is that good?" As crazy as that sounded to me, I decided to wait it out. The line moved as slowly as it looked like it would. In time and throughout the chaos and desperation, those of us wishing to eat food formed (3) lines: Line 1 (ordering line), Line 2 (payment line) and Line 3 (pickup the food line). Line 1 was ultra-slow, Line 2 moved as fast as lightning strikes and Line 3 didn't even remotely budge for what felt like forever. I was beginning to think that the meal I was expecting to eat was no longer going to be lunch but was going to be dinner next Thursday. I did eventually get served food and it seemed worth the wait. To beat the lines, I noticed that those that called in an order skipped the first two lines and went straight to the front to pay and pickup (food for thought). I ordered the chicken breast on the 8" roll. I also got the chili because, well let's be honest friends, chili is awesome. The food was terrific. The chili was spicy, meaty and impressive. I would eat "chili" if it was old, shredded yoga mats covered in tomato paste and kidney beans and I would like it, but I really liked Sue's chili. In close, I didn't care for the ridiculously long wait in line, but the food here is superb. I suggest that Sue's either gets bigger print on the hanging menu, or place it in front of the storefront instead of behind. It was tough to read the small print on the menu when I was standing 1/4 mile away from the registers. I noticed there is a couple of stickers conspicuously hanging in the store that read "PEOPLE LOVE US ON YELP". I would have to agree. read more

I love Sue's. The soups are great; I'm a huge fan of the Hungarian mushroom. The daily salad variety is also wonderful; I've had and love the spinach feta, the waldorf, and the tabbouli. The falafel wrap is the best I've had anywhere -- and huge. I usually take half home for dinner. Chicken souvlaki wrap is also wonderful, and my friend swears by the Chicken Philly. The grapeleaf platter is amazing: six warm stuffed grapeleaves with a side of dill sauce, hummus and a side salad of your choice. The prices are great for the quality and the sheer quantity of food you receive. The only reason I don't come here more often is because it's too popular. There is always a long wait. read more

Wish this place was closer to my work. Like the other reviewer said, and I believe they are a city dweller like myself, this place is a "gem". I love little places like this. Truthfully, I'm not a NY style-anything type of person. I'm a Cali style from-the-burbs chick but a true foodie, I'm realizing. And I'm typically a more organic-hipster type eater but I appreciate deli food every now and then. Especially if I know the ingredients are "fresher" than if I go to a fast food joint. Well, in fact you won't find an egg salad on the menu (online) in a mom and pop restaurant in the area I work. Amerst/Tonawanda. If there is a restaurant like this, please shoot me an email. I'll definitely try it out. I wasn't aware of this place until I yelped "egg salad". The menu is online. I was quite excited and took a risk (and maybe because I was uber hunger) and ordered two sandwiches: an egg sandwich and turkey melt. One for lunch and one for dinner. Yummy! I inhaled half of the egg salad sandwich and turkey bacon melt during lunch. Both were great! When I called to order, which I recommend to save time, I believe I spoke to the actually owner or the owner's father. A sweet man, old enough to be my grandfather with an accent I could not identify. Gives you that sense this is really a NY style mom and pop deli. Both sandwiches were made the home style way.Two pieces of white bread (there are other choices) romaine lettuce, tomato, mayo, and a crispy pickle on the side. You have the option of having it toasted. Side note: this place is located inside the Niagara Center - a federal facility. It has a cafeteria style setup. And it gets busy during lunch. And...it's downtown. Therefore, account for an extra 15 mins to find metered parking and going through a security check point. Holy moly! There you have it. Doubt I'll go here again because of my limited lunch time and the fact that they are only open Mon-Fri. However, they do have breakfast at 6:30am. I may give that a shot. Down the road. If so, I will update. read more

Sue's is one of the best places for lunch downtown. They have a bunch of different wraps and sandwiches as well as pasta salads/sides. They also have a lot of vegetarian options. I'm not a vegetarian, but my favorite meal here is the avocado wrap. The cookies are also amazing. They always taste fresh and are nice and soft in the middle. Unfortunately, Sue's isn't open on the weekends, but if you have a chance to get down there during the week, I highly recommend it :-) read more
