What our guests are saying
The best roast beef. They used to be on Stilwell but moved the company to Dyker heights, but left the name at the old location but the new owners on Stilwell ruined it. So glad we found where they relocated to. Also on point.

This is not just a Deli this is a neighborhood staple Brooklyn gem. After recently moving from Manhattan my wife told me about this amazing place from its theme to its signature roast beef sandwiches. everything I have gotten from here has been amazing quality. Quick delivery every time and probably the best clam chowder I have ever had well done John's Deli.
