Wilkens Fine Foods - being charged .75 cents for CREDIT CARDS. - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The quality has definitely gone down... The tomatoes and lettuce for the burgers were a sorry sight. I ordered their BBQ brisket meal... They gave me roast beef instead of BBQ brisket. It literally has regular gravy. Crazy. read more

Great old fashioned deli which has been the for decades Great staff awesome deli style foods read more

I live in the neighborhood and this is the only deli in walking distance of my house. The food is all very delicious and I've been coming here since I was very little. My only complaint is the price has raised a lot throughout the years and it means I can no longer go there as much as I used to, but the food is still as exceptional as it was, and I have no complaints on that aspect. The inside of the place definitely changed throughout the years I like the new improvements. And in the picture is most possibly my favorite item which is a turkey and cheese lettuce tomato mayo on a roll. I don't know why it taste so good but I just know it does and I'm really craving one today so maybe I'll go back and get another one. If you live in the area, I recommend eating here. The staff are really friendly and it's nostalgic and homey for me. read more

Wilkens Fine Foods - Honey Turkey Cold Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

I stopped by for a quick bite after a long day. They were busy, and clearly had a few items that some folks liked. I tried a couple rice balls -- the price was good ($1.50). I may give it a try again to see what else is on the menu. read more

I have to say, the food has been better but between the service fee and delivery fee that doesn't even go to the driver, I won't be ordering here anymore. I mostly live in Manhattan these days and I NEVER have seen a delivery fee added, let alone one that doesn't go towards the driver. I went to order a Turkey sandwich and it was almost $20 for Turkey BLT on a roll BEFORE adding a tip. Such a shame. I miss the Wilkens of my youth. Their prices are completely out of hand. read more

Wilkens Fine Foods - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I ordered from here via UberEats and was beyond disappointed with the food I received. First, I ordered the broccoli quiche and it was completely frozen. It seemed to be an already made quiche that needed to be heated up and then served. There was no description indicating that's how it was going to come. Next, I got the brunch burger and the meat inside was raw! I asked for medium and while the outside was cooked well and tasted like a mouth full of charcoal, I couldn't eat it because of how raw the inside was. Also, for some reason the eggs tasted stale and dry. Finally, the curly fries were hard and inedible. They were impossible to eat. I'm not sure if this place is under pressure because of COVID, however they need to do better. I thought it was going to be good since it was a "top eats" on UberEats, however I won't be ordering from here again. read more

X-cellent neighborhood spot deli sandwiches and also breakfast they also sell household items too tp paper towels milk eggs etc..

Nice old school sandwich spot. Huge menu with tons of different options. Definitely a go to spot while in Bergen beach's

We've recently discovered this gem on Uber Eats and they have the best sandwiches!! The broccoli rabe fried eggplant mozzarella sandwich was amazing. Having a fresh green veggie paired with a light fried eggplant and melted rich cheese make this the perfect vegetarian combo. And the tuna melt a simple classic is upgraded to a fresh delicious sandwich. They have a variety of fresh breads and you can def taste the difference. So glad this fine place is serving up scrumptious deli foods especially during this time. read more

Great food Order in advance long wait time, worth the wait. Very clean, large selection of food options. read more

So inspite of the tiny issues im still leaving 5 stars. As for my issues, Can't find the app in the app store. Apparently no one can, according to a worker people are having issues finding it. So i just went to the store to order. Social distancing, tho they have a sign that says 3 people, no one is following it & the workers aren't enforcing it. As for the food, very good. No issues, hubbys burger got cooked correctly not like last time it was over cooked. I got sliders, yummy as well... Tho Thankfully we ate in the car outside because they didnt give me forks or napkins & I had to go back in to get some.... read more

Good food good service daily specials are excellent. Wednesday is barbecue day you can get a pulled pork brisket and baked beans are phenomenal and all of the people who work there all have a sense of humor and make you feel comfortable. Highly recommend. read more

One of my favorite deli to eat at. I always get the honey turkey hero from them. Only problem is they only allow you to add one condiment when you order online. But other than that sandwiches are good, bagels are good. And they also gave me a free oj for my order. read more

Wilkens Fine Foods - two burritos in a paper container - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I walked in and they had boats head everything in the deli but when I ordered my Philly cheese steak they gave me cheez whiz. Like who puts cheese whiz on a cheese steak. What is this roll n roaster. Not to mention the onions were basically whole. Whoever taught these guys how to cut onions should just quit at life. My boyfriend ordered a bacon egg and cheese with salt pepper and ketchup which of course came minus the salt pepper and ketchup. So when he brought the sandwich back so they could put it on they must've been bent out of shape that he walked back in because they must've just turned the pepper shaker upside down and held it there it was so nasty. Do yourselves a favor and don't order here read more

Wilkens Fine Foods - a partially eaten food item in a styrofoam container - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This spot is always on point staff is always pleasant and helpful large selection of items The brisket is outstanding. Fried chicken is also very good needs more salt. Just my opinion that would be the only negative I could give this place. read more

This place has fallen the hell off. I've been in the neighborhood for 10 years and I don't know if there are new owners are what but the prices have increased and the quality of the food has dropped. You order over the phone, they don't listen to instructions. You get the food and it's a ghost of its former self. You're literally better off walking down to Ralph and going to the little corner store for a breakfast sandwich. read more

One of the things I miss most is , I use to get the turkey Ruben delivered and potatoes. When I was pregnant I got the regular Ruben lol..the only time I ate red meat everything is good especially the eggplant! The reason I can't give it a 5 or higher is my last visit I thought it could be cleaner. But definitely go in and enjoy a great sandwich we use to get chicken and broccoli rob sandwich with mozzarella also. Maybe time for a deli remodeling read more

And now I'm officially done. After years of not going to them we walked in to see what soup they had. Lo and behold -- POTATO LEEK!! I was so excited. I asked for two quarts. One to share between hubby and I and one to freeze. As I'm standing there I watch the guy behind the counter ADD A HALF A CUP HOT WATER TO THE POT! Dude, you have now completely made that soup inedible. I hoped it had thickened and maybe he was attempting to fix it but, alas, no. We get it home and it's watery as hell. Even the attempt my husband made to fix didn't help. On top of the fact that they also changed it and there's huge potato chunks in it now which it never had before which made it my all time favorite. Thanks for lobbing off the last thread that would make me use you again Wilkins. Nice knowing ya. read more

We always order breakfast sandwiches and their amazing home fries. Today we decided to order dinner. Butter Burger, cheese burgers, wings, cheesesteak hero, onion rings and fries. I am in awe and truly wish we had ordered before. I've always wanted to try items from their extensive menu, and could slap myself for not ordering before. Everything was beyond expectations, their food is truly truly exceptional! I love the hot wings and will NEVER order them from another place!!! And the onion rings were outstanding! Same for my Butter Burger.... WOW!!!!!! If you want to have yourself a wonderful meal, I urge you to go to Wilkens!!! Can't wait to try their other items. The downside is I forgot to order dessert. Well, there's always next time....hmmm maybe tomorrow....... read more

I do not know why this place is getting all of the negative reviews - true it may not be as great as it was in its storied past, and it may not be a Katz's delicatessen, but it is A-OK with me. The deli is reminiscent of the old time delis of the 70s and early 80s, with the staff still dressing in requisite whites, but for an area in which I live that have few to none places to grab something to eat on the way home, this place is great! They have great sandwiches which are not too expensive, with generous servings of meat. I especially like the roast and brisket beef sandwiches which come piled with hot meat au jus. The soups are pretty tasty and hit the spot as well. I will try the other menu items as other reviews have given good praise, I will not order for delivery as they will probably take a long time as I do not see that they are adequately staffed to handle delivery (and most people stop by either by driving by or coming after getting off the bus on the way home). I still enjoy Wilkens as it is a nice old-time jewel in a changing neighborhood. read more

This place is the BEST. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The food is well-priced, and you get way more than what you pay for, especially in terms of quality. The owners of this deli and the whole team put their heart and soul into the place. Wilkens is worth each and every one of the 5 stars!!! read more

Great food, great service. Always friendly to me when i go inside. They make fries exactly how i love them and ive never ordered anything that wasnt delicious. They offer hot and cold food breakfast and dinner. And if you order in you can always order other items like a half gallon of milk or loaf of bread to avoid running out for some household essentials. Recently started offering online ordering and its great and easy. read more

7114 Avenue U, Brooklyn 11234 (At E 71st St) good food but ripoff prices The store itself has prices that don't make sense example, a burger with blue cheese & bacon is $7.00 but with american cheese it's $8.75 + Tax so they charged $1.75 extra to switch from blue cheese to cheaper American Cheese ended up paying $25 for 2 bacon cheeseburgers and small fries and the burgers were not Deluxes. Never Again!! read more

It would be helpful if the person at Wilkens who reads these reviews would address the issues. Like others I grew up in the area and so Wilkens was pretty good for sliced deli meats and salads. When I moved from the area, I came back periodically for the same kind of food. Each time I noticed the store was going downhill and then in subsequent visits it started to be somewhat better. What was going downhill was the customer service. The deli items and salad stuff I purchased was all very good. Today 6/20/21 I returned to Wilkens having not been in there for over 10 years. I immediately noticed the confusion at the check out / register between the cashier and the person calling of to her each item. The same ##it that you would see years ago there. Always confusion. It was luckily for me that only three people were in the store at the time. I ordered 1/2 lb of brisket, 1/2 lb of corn beef, 1/2 lb of roast beef, a 1/4 of turkey and 1/4 lb of another turkey which the guy serving me could only describe as 'healthy turkey'. I added 1/2 lb of macaroni salad. I see they don't have many of the salads they did from years ago. Only the roast beef was disappointing. It was beautifully rare in the center and only slightly medium towards the out ends of a slice, but the meat had absolutely no flavor. Nothing. I thought the prices were kinda of off the wall. But the meats were truly very tasty. They offered no gravy with the brisket. I think they used to do this. It's a bit of a hike to get to this place,and the parking is impossible, so I think I will continue to use my current deli on the regular. If I need to be in this area for any reason though, I will stop by to see what is available. read more

I have never been disappointed with anything from here. I regularly stop by to pick up my cold cuts, but don't let this place fool you. It may look like a regular old deli but the food pumped out of the back kitchen is amazing. You can pick up a whole dinner here. From you regularly burger, chicken fingers and fries to BBQ dinner Wednesday and full dinner meals with vegetable side options. Absolutely love this neighborhood gem. read more

Food is Very good the major problem is you have a 50% chance of getting your food ice cold or uncooked no matter what time of the day you order it If you order from them make sure you have a microwave or oven so you can have and enjoyable meal read more

Where do I begin !! First off I ordered this for my lunch via Uber . Once I took a few bites of this RAW sandwich it felt tough like I was chewing leather very chewy I looked at what I had eaten only to see RAW fish staring at me . I contacted the restaurant they hung up the phone on me three times . When the young lady on the phone offered me another one once I told her my location she said " we don't go that far . You'll get a refund " .. then hung up . I called back again to ask how I will receive my refund she reluctantly told me "Jeff " takes care of this . I asked when I will receive my refund she informed some 2 or 3 days . What horrid service . Your selling food that's not cooked and no remorse . If anything I was given an attitude . So not only did I not have lunch . I got a belly full of attitude . I have no idea what the end result will be . BEWARE OF THIS PLACE : no food quality control . Poor customer service . .. the funny thing is I receive a 30% off a order from this place via UBER . I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN . Anyone I encounter that inquires about a place to eat I'll inform them where not to go . If I get sick . I will definitely forward this inept business my doctors notes and loss of pay . Total disgrace . You would think with smaller business fighting to stay open they would want to produce a good product . But that is not the case . If you value your health STAY AWAY ! read more

Wilkens Fine Foods - Delis Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I referred to this establishment as the " Bergen beach trap".. as I used to shop here 40 years ago and was in disbelief that it was still in business when I went back to visit last week. I went in and could not believe the prices on some of the items they were selling. The only reason they were allowed to get away with these prices is because of the immigrant mentality of the individuals that live in Bergen Beach thinking that is is the greatest area in the world ‍.. Anyone that lives in Bergen Beach knows that you have to send your children to private school because you're trapped on a peninsula surrounded by horse crap and if you try to go down Avenue U it would take about an hour just to get to the mall so that's why people put up with places like Wilkens & their prices..Why are people so proud About living in this area that borders the belt parkway. The bottom line is the food isn't worth 1/4 of the price that they are charging.. read more

I literally grew up around the corner. As I aged the quality of Wilkens' food went down. Almost none of the food there is good. Even the sandwiches are shitty. Always made poorly and like all the food there made without love. Generally no one there cares about what they put out. everything is overpriced, even a can of soda is too much. in case your curious, the delivery is slow, and if you pick up make sure the order is right. cause they tend to mess that up read more

Ridiculously overpriced !!! Mediocre food Slow and not so friendly service.. Expired products on shelves read more

I've only done takeout. We order pizza burgers all the time, they are deelish! Waiting time is about an hour so definitely not a good choice if ur starving. We olan ahead. read more

Let's start this off on the good foot...Fried Chicken. But... this is a deli...in Mill Basin Kayin...Really?? I answer you emphatically: YES. The chicken here is made to order so it's guaranteed fresh. The chicken is well seasoned and perfectly cooked every time. Since it's cooked to order there is a nice 45 minute wait, I would suggest calling ahead. But I ensure you, you will not be disappointed. Moving right along, let's not forget why we go to deli's...for the great sandwich. Wilkens, again, does not disappoint. The subs here are huge, delicious (due to QUALITY INGREDIENTS. Very Important) and there is huge variety to choose from. Highly recommended...even if it is a bit out of the way. read more

I've been coming here for years since I've moved into the neighborhood as a teenager and wilkens never fails to disappoint me. Their burgers are a work of God and please dont get me started on their hot sandwiches. read more

Back when I lived in this area, I'd stop here every week. Half lb. flame broiled Black Angus burgers and waffle fries were perfect every time, pretty much the best 'take-out' burgers I have ever head. The Chicken Creation (seasoned grilled chicken, with carmelized onions and mozz) is a work of art. Try as I may, I have not been able to mimic the seasonings. They also had Reliable or Oliva & Sons Italian bread fresh every day, which is/are a rarity around my new digs for some inexplicable and unforgivable reason. That settles it. I'm going back there this weekend for a Creation. read more

Great food and service wish you can bring the barbecue back great employees the girls working cash register are very nice

This deli used to be my favorite. Always had fresh food, and it was delivered very fast. The past three times I have ordered from this establishment my food has been cold, the cheese dip for the fries was BROWN, and my order was completely wrong. When calling to ask about the time of my delivery when it was already an hour late, the woman was very rude on the phone (only brushing me off saying it will be there soon instead of giving me an actual time). read more

The chicken noodle soup is the bomb here! The chicken wings were good but a bit too oily. The mozzarella sticks were good but not hot so I had to heat it up.The shrimp parm was delicious but I was surprised the bread wasn't toasted. Overall, a good place if you want delivery around Bergen Beach. read more
