Whitestone is just packed with great delis. Sergimmo Salumeria is a standout and has all the…read moreearmarks of a fine Italian deli: imported pastas and bottles of sauce on wire racks, rolls of mortadella and soppressata in the refrigerator case and whole hocks of prosciutto di parma hanging from the ceiling. The neatly lettered menu board has all the Italian classics and originals to get on a roll or hero. We don't call them wedges or grinders or hoagies in Queens. AY! It's a Hee-Ro! You slice open a long crusty loaf, pack it with meat, cheese and dressing and lunch is ready. On my way home, I come over the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, hang a left onto 14th Ave and get parking across the street. I'm looking at the sausage & peppers or maybe chicken, eggplant, meatball or shrimp parmigiana, but then I spy the Anti-Chicken Parm and I'm drooling for it on a hero. The promise of that sandwich was delivered in the chicken cutlet with vodka sauce & mozzarella and layered with salty, meaty prosciutto. Mmm-Mm, what a great sandwich. As tasty as the sandwich was, it is on the pricey side, so I'm not going to be doing an $18 sandwich every day of the week, even though one hero could feed 2 people. I know I'll be back soon enough, though.

What a colossal disappointment! Unsure what to order, I reviewed and selected a Cubano from the…read moresandwich board. Having struck out on my last few Cubans, I was confident Tony's description of roast pork, ham, Swiss, pickle & mustard would deliver. After taking my order, one of the many guys behind the counter dipped into the back for 15 minutes, which seemed like an exceptionally long time for a sandwich. I took my sandwich to eat at home. The sandwich was pressed and toasted as a Cuban should be, and it was filled with about half a pound of ham, no roast pork. In addition, there was so much mustard on the sandwich that it upset my stomach. Had I wanted a ham and cheese panini, I would have ordered one. If the person who took my order told me they were out of pork, I would have happily changed my order.

Open 24/7?? Who does that anymore? Except maybe if you're an all-night gas station, but a deli?…read more That just works in the city that never sleeps because NYC's Finest, Bravest & Strongest are working around the clock, too and come here at all hours of the night. The menu is HUGE! The printed one is 4 pages long, all in a tiny font. Different variations of breaded chicken cutlet, grilled chicken, roast beef, pastrami, corned beef, turkey are combined with American cheese, mozzarella, muenster, provolone, pepper jack on rolls and heroes to make some awesome sandwiches. Toss in some balsamic, honey mustard, bacon, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, red peppers, lettuce, tomato & mayo and you'll have lunch for days. Most of the sandwiches are named by their contents like the Buffalo Chx, but many have unique names like the Corona, the Fat Cat or the Gimp. Then you have names to honor the 24 hr workers like the NYPD, FDNY & DSNY. Don't forget about the hamburger section of the menu, which has like 36 items listed. I'm not exactly sure what a Twin Chzburger Deluxe Couch is, but I have an idea and it kinda scares me. Cherry Valley is a little out of the way here in Northern Whitestone, Queens, which is why I haven't come here before, but I'm going to have to make it a personal mission to come back and try everything. If I'm going to be able to get through the entire menu in what's left of my lifetime, I gotta get started yesterday.

Nothing over the top or special about this place other than it being my neighborhood spot. It's literally a nyc Deli and they also have alll the snacks and drinks you could think of/want after a night out. That being said, people typically come here for the same reason so expect it to be packed after hours.

I stopped by LENNY'S for a chocolate croissant for a quick and reliable breakfast. After almost…read morefinishing the whole croissant i noticed something was off, very off. To my horror i had been consuming an ungodly amount of mold with every bite of that horrible croissant. Only god knows how long it had been sitting out. Of course when I noticed this I went back to the deli to tell them. All they could do is give me my 4$ back and tell me to go to a doctor. Now where I messed up is giving them the croissant back instead of sending it off to the health department. Mind you I had a 14 hour flight a few days after this visit to LENNY'S. Horrific! This croissant made me ill of course, and to this day I cannot eat chocolate croissants, I can still feel the webs of mold in my throat.

( https://www.instagram.com/p/DQF8Gzekcks/ ). It is a shame because, besides myself, I know a few people that aren't in the neighborhood that travel regularly to G&L. Also its surprising because every time I go the place is pretty packed and occasionally there is a wait. What's also a shame, for me, is that on my recent visit my friend ordered the Steamed Seafood in Lemongrass and this is perhaps the top, or one of the top dishes on the menu. The seafood flavors and balances the slightly spicy lemongrass broth making this a crave worthy bowl. I ordered something out of my wheelhouse - the Coconut Spicy Lemongrass Soup, which on online order menu states its a popular dish. I couldn't see why this dish is so popular because I find other items on the menu superior. They make a tasty pho (especially when paired with a marrow bone). Their sandwiches are well made - I enjoy the different fish ones. I think their Vietnamese coffee could use some work - it is blander than other versions I had tried. Don't be too sad and maybe feel a little optimistic because owner Petra Rickman has a great track record opening interesting, in demand restaurants (This one and Taco Azul have been longtime go-tos in Whitestone). Additionally G&L has a 2nd location with the same menu in Manhattan, which unfortunately for a Queens boy like myself is a bridge too far and a congestion pricing too high for me to make the trek.

The workers are only here to make what was requested. Then her friend calls and says shes allergic to mustard after they made the entire sandwich.

She claimed she knew the owner and said that her mother comes every day and when the owner came she had no clue. So here is a picture of the rude customers. The food here is great, the owner came and resolved the situation. Please do not give small businesses like this a hard time. We need more of these around the neighborhood.

It's been six years since I last came here. The food is still pretty good and the service was…read morefriendly, but overall I found the sandwiches a bit overpriced. The menu has very detailed, almost elevated descriptions that make everything sound spectacular, but in practice the flavors don't quite come through, especially the sauces, which are barely noticeable. Our server was flexible when we asked to swap the potato chips for fries on the kids' grilled cheese meal, which we appreciated. However, we were then charged $1.40 for a side of ranch for the fries. I understand they have a range of specialty sauces and dips that are clearly priced on the menu, but that still felt steep for ranch. They also offer a combo option to add fries for $5, but the portion doesn't really feel aligned with the price. The steak sandwich itself was surprisingly tender, even though it looked like it might be tough. That said, I couldn't taste the roasted red pepper sauce, and the "sweet onion jam" turned out to just be caramelized onions. My mother actually ended up picking them out because she doesn't eat onions. (she won't eat onions that she can see) The buffalo cauliflower was tasty, but could have been crispier. The "serves two" description also felt a bit generous given the small portion. I also ordered a brisket sandwich to go with fries. The coleslaw sounded great on the menu, but in reality the flavors didn't stand out, no real hint of jalapeño, just a fairly standard slaw. Overall, the food descriptions felt more impressive than the actual execution, though the to-go fries portion was more generous, which was a nice surprise. Would I go back? I'm not sure. Maybe for a casual visit with a few beers and fries with an assortment of dipping sauces...I am a sucker for those.
