The Bronx Deli

Honestly, what happened to this place? I ordered a Captain grinder that comes with chicken cutlet, eggplant, mozzarella and roasted red peppers. I got two tiny circles of eggplant on each grinder half. Like other poor reviews, whoever is making the sandwiches is clearly putting the absolute bare minimum on for contents. I won’t go back. Terrible.

The Bronx Deli has been my lunch staple in the area since 2008. It has survived an ownership change without any loss in quality or offerings. The Yankee themed sandwiches will satisfy any fan of any sport. The standout here is THE BREAD! The "grinders" are served on sesame coated Italian bread straight from the Bronx. Crispy and delicious, and the thing that makes this a MUCH better stop than the popular Nardelli's down the street. There are Italian specialty pastas in the fridge, delicious cookies for the sweet tooth, and a daily specials board with enough choices to satisfy any appetite. I was introduced to Deep River potato chips here, and have a hard time not bringing a bag with me to go. The only negative for me is the egg sandwiches in the morning. They will fill you up, but the eggs are nuked...not my thing. Skip the more famous local chain and give The Bronx Deli a try. You might never go back to the chain.

Sandwich was alright, there are definitely better options in the area, definitely some worse. This place does lose points because the charge a fee for using a credit card, and refuses to tell you about it before. You’re told a total, then swipe your card and see a charge for more than what you were told.

I used to love this place. They made great sandwiches full of meat and topping. I ordered a ordered the Figlia Julli’s Favorite grinder (deli chicken, bacon, sharp provolone, lettuce, no tomato and deli dressing. I was so disappointed. It was all bread. I literally took the sandwich meat and cheese from half the grinder and put it on the other half just to make it worth it! Subway has more meat!
