So, lemme tell ya somethin' about the roast beef sandwich at John’s Deli in Brooklyn. This ain't just any sandwich, capisce? This is a freakin' masterpiece, alright? I ain't kiddin'. You bite into this thing, you know they ain't skimpin' on the beef. The meat's piled high, juicy, and tender, like it just got outta bed. They slice it thin, just like Ma used to, so it melts in your mouth, y'know? And the gravy? Oh, forget about it. It's like liquid gold, seasoned to perfection, like it was blessed by a freakin' saint. And don't even get me started on the bread. You need that crusty, fresh hero roll that’s got that perfect chew. It soaks up all that gravy, but it don’t get all soggy like some weak bread from a chain joint. Nah, this bread holds its own, like a real Brooklyn guy. And the kicker? They throw some mozzarella on there, melted just right, gives it that creamy, salty kick. You take a bite, you feel like you’re in freakin' heaven or somethin'. If you ain't been to John’s Deli for their roast beef, you're disrespectin' yourself. Seriously, do yourself a favor, head over there, and get the best freakin' sandwich in Brooklyn. It's a freakin' experience, alright? Even Tony would put his diet on hold for this one. So, whaddya waitin' for? Go get yourself a sandwich.

John’s Deli is a Brooklyn institution and provides so much history, it was a pleasure to dine here and try the Roast Beef Sandwich. The most surprising thing was that, despite its size and huge slices of beef, it was very light and was complimented very well by the onions and gravy. The beef was soft and easy to eat. This place gets a 5 star from me for the overall story!

I travelled all the way from Ireland via the Bronx to try the Johnnie roast beef sandwich and it lived up to the hype. Great atmosphere in the neighbourhood, friendly staff, great service and Awesome food! It's easy to get to just take the D train to coney island and get off at 25th Avenue. John's is across the street just down the road from the station. 10 out of 10. 100% recommend.

Grabbed the famous Johnny Roast beef with melted Mutz, brown gravy and caramelized onions. The caramelized onions made the Sammy for me.

reliable nyc source

pretty alright to be honest. gravy left me wanting, didnt taste like the original juice from whatever the roast beef was cooked in and was too thick to lend any moisture to an already not juicy or moist roast beef. was good just wasn’t great. eggplant parm was good too

The Italian deli is located in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn since 1968. They prepare a wide variety of hot and cold heroes/sandwiches with different names. Breakfast sandwiches and platters are also available. Customers can make their own hero by selecting from many different combinations. I ordered the Tommy Devito named for the football quarterback. It was a chicken cutlet with spinach/broccoli on a long hero bread. The meatballs and riceballs were also very good. I had the rice ball with a pistachio nut filling which was very good and different. Friendly and quick service. Food was packaged well for pickup by customers.

It was close to lunchtime when I was passing by & there were some open parking spots on the ave so I decided to stop in for some takeout. I got a ham & cheese rice ball from their signature sides & a roast beef hero with mozzarella, onions & gravy which they’re know for. Which came to a little over $25. I then noticed a sign for desserts & I couldn’t pass trying a red velvet gelato truffle which ended up being a little less than $8 (I didn’t ask the price). The rice ball was tasty & the roast beef was pretty good & very filling. Later in the day I had the gelato truffle which was ok. If you’re in the area & in want something simple for lunch you should give it a try.

I never took the time to visit and eat and perhaps one day I would consider it. Unfortunately I always ordered takeout so I can not speak upon the atmosphere there . What I can say is that every time I ate from there I was not disappointed. Firstly their bread is top notch . The food is always hot . The food seems always fresh and even cooked with love. The delivery men are sweethearts .The wait on the order is short . The food comes at a timely fashion . I’m sure you can get something affordable that makes your full under ten dollars ; which is hard in nyc , with that being said if you around or driving in this area and want to eat something quick for yourself or family don’t forget this deli in which I got food here November 2024 to be exact getting a chicken sandwich that I still remember to this day that being the one with bbq and cheese and chicken but this one was just as flavorful and fulling . Thank you for reading ; have a grand day . I was told that salad was phenomenal so be sure to look at the menu careful.

This is an old school deli in Brooklyn. I got the roast beef with brown gravy on a pretzel roll. It was good but next time I am going to get a regular roll. I think that would be better. The service quick with no line. The price was okay. The restaurant had an old school feel to it. I love old school delis that have been in the neighborhood for years.

Consistent quality, very satisfying sandwiches. Highly recommend the Honey Bunny sandwich; honey turkey mozzarella sweet peppers and fresh tomatoes on a roll and the fried ravioli for about $9 each. 02/2024 The food was good, the service was friendly. Cash and credit are both accepted, but cash is cheaper. There is an additional 3% charge to credit card payments. The sandwiches are on the expensive side, where a roll costs between $9-10 for just meat cheese and bread. However, the flavors are good, and they make a quality sandwich. I ordered the Rocky Balboa, chicken parm with mozzarella, and the Apllo Creed, chicken cutlet with mozzarella and vodka sauce. Their is a small parking lot on the side of the building for parking and metered street parking available in front. 12/2023

Sandwiches are good. But 18$ for a 8 inch hero is absolutely insane. You're better off going to an actual pork store for a sandwich
