New York Deli Mcallen Reviews
Love this place. Definitely a keeper. You will definitely see us again. Awesome 👌 👏 👍!
From Alex our server to the owner Gilbert the hospitality and service that was provided was just amazing. I cannot explain how at home I felt eating here, the attention given as if I was a regularl customer. The food is delicious the salami is a must buy. Thank you Gilbert for making us feel special, may the Lord continue to bless you and your employees. I salute you sir keep up the amazing work!!!
This is such a wonderful place to eat. I absolutely love the atmosphere, and I especially love the food. Ordered my usual, the turkey melt. Sandwich was toasty and full of flavor. The potatoe salad put it over the top. Sooo yummy😋
Went w my girlfriend last wednesday for my lunch. Was amazing, the staff cares and constantly checks on you, on your food, all of it. Vibes are great. We were surprised bc we went around 11am, when it opened- we expected it to be empty (As it had just opened) but it was already almost full. I got the french dip and she got the jalapeño philly cheesesteak dog.. We both were big fans of the meals. Def going back there again.
The ONLY place I trust the food will be good every single time. I’ve been going for years and it’s never not been packed. Doors swinging open every second with to go orders or people wanting to dine in. I usually go on instagram to see what new special a they’ve got! Everything is FRESH and flavors are so good. You’ll be in a food coma once you’re done. Also, the customer service is top notch. Super friendly and helpful, never rushed. To go orders are double checked right in front of you. Everyone in the valley must try this place!!
This place is great, a true gem honestly, just walking in it felt like I was transported to New York, I ordered the King, which is the pastrami sandwich, and it was superb. The owner was also very nice, I believe it was the owner, but he attended me right away and got out my order in no time. I will definitely be coming again, the food all looks amazing.
five stars. food. service. atmosphere. you got it all here. the people are extremely kind and actually view you as a person eating there than just a customer. now the food… if there was a words to describe it, i would have said it already, but there isn’t one. it’s plainly amazing. you want a nice new york sandwich ? they have them all here. you want a soup, my recommendation would be the tortilla soup, way too good. and the place is called new york deli but has the beatles memorabilia everywhere. i like a place that sticks to what they believe in. i just love this place, it’s fantastic. forgetta bout it.
Ran in today to pick up some soup with my 2 year old. The whole staff was very kind and helpful to keep the process moving for me. The potato soup was phenomenal. Looking forward to go back for sandwiches.
Sandwiches are so good you won't go anywhere else to have one, not even your mom's house. Just go. Enjoy the extraordinarily paired ingredients that just blow your mind with each bite. I have been going, went today and will be going again in the future.
It's usually rare when I crave a sub or any sandwich, bt dang it the service was outstanding, the tea was great, the bread was soft and the attentiveness to the details was all there. Had the Italian special and I didn't put the sanwhich down until I finished each half Def will be coming back, my wife Def enjoyed it that she already is telling our family members about this place
First time and I was so impressed with the service. The gentlemen at the register offered to place our toddler’s order as soon as we sat down. It made all the difference. It had been a while since we’d been able to enjoy a meal at a restaurant. Happy lil, happy parents. Great food was the cherry on top. Thank you!
We've been going here for years. Service is always as amazing as the food. My grandpa and the owner always chat it up eveytime we go. The best new York deli spot I've ever had. I can't even pick a favorite dish everything is amazing. I usually get either a French dip, chicken Ceasars salad, deli sandwich or one of the burgers. It is always delicious no matter what. If you love the Beatles this is a must stop as well. The walls are covered in all sorts of Beatles memorabilia.
I want to thank the staff at NY Deli for their incredible kindness. I shared a difficult personal situation, and they responded with genuine empathy and understanding. Their compassion made a tough day a little easier, and it’s rare to experience such care. I truly appreciate the thoughtful and welcoming environment they create. On top of that, their food is absolutely delicious, a great experience all around. They now have a lifelong customer.
First of all, the Beatlemania stuff on the walls is super cool. Being a big Beatles fan, I love all the Beatles stuff. Every single wall has something Beatles related. Second, the food is awesome. They even have a burger called "The Sgt. Pepper Burger." The waiters are so kind aswell. Theres a lot more positive things I can say about this place, but it would be as long as an essay. If you're in the area, consider this restaurant. It is simply amazing.
My family and I frequent this place probably biweekly and the food never dissapoints. The servers are quick to take your order and check in on you to see about refills or anything else you might need just enough times throughout the meal. Their russian dressing is the BEST sauce you'll ever try in your life. It's delicious, consistent and quick for when you need a work lunch or a quick catch up!
I really enjoy coming here to the New York Deli for lunch. Not only is the food always tasty as well as fresh and made to order, but the wait staff is always extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive. The Beatles memorabilia only adds another layer of charm to the cozy welcoming, ambiance of this hidden gem in McAllen.
This is one of the finest if not the best deli in the Rio Grande valley. Their food is top notch. I've been there multiple times, had different subs each time and never had one i didnt like. The atmosphere is excellent. The service is polite attentive and keeps the drinks cold. I will always stop in of I'm in McAllen Tx.
This place is the BEST in the valley. They have the most amazing potato soup , and sandwiches. I love coming here. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. He knows his customers. The staff is always friendly as well. I have never had a bad experience here ever. I love this restaurant! 🩷 if I had to pick my last meal it would be this soup! It’s to die for! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Thank you for always treating us with kindness.
🤩 This is the best place to get a bagel locally! “Amazing” is an understatement… 🥯 These bagels are imported directly from New York, so the taste is purely authentic. 😋 Alex is a fantastic server—attentive and thoughtful. He and the cook went above and beyond! The owner, Gilbert, was just as welcoming and kind. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like part of the family. Good vibes all around! 💓
Every time I come here with my boyfriend, we always leave with a smile and in awe of the amazing and welcoming hospitality they offer us. Any server passing by will offer you refills, stop by often to check up on you, and the owner comes out and shakes your hand. I loved this place since our first sandwich and it’s our mission to try everything on the menu! The food: Incredible. It’s not “only” sandwiches. It’s THE best sandwiches. Don’t get me started on that potato soup 😩 Their brisket melt is so soft and tender, the French dip deluxe is amazing with that Au Jus sauce, and the Drews special is always a good start.
First time ever I feel like giving 5/5 to everything. This was my first time here and it did NOT disappoint me at all. The place is clean, pretty, good lighting, it does give a take away from New York, the decoration is unique. Now the food, the menu is HUGE, which is awesome, I even liked the menu itself. You choose your main course, with two sides, which I believe are great options. The broccoli soup was AWESOME. The lemonade is good, the main course itself is delicious, all fresh, and the sauce is very good as well. I made the mistake of ordering chips instead of fries, but that’s okay. I ordered dessert as well, they have cakes, cheesecake, brownies, etc. I just loved it. The prices are fair, and the service is something I truly appreciate, probably three-four people took care of us, super kind and patient, I would definitely go again!
8/12/24 Update: we again decided to have lunch. Wow, it is packed and busy at noon! We saw a lot of workers coming to clean and set up for the next customer, accommodating for the next customers at the door. Service was consistent and food was great! May 2024 Update: we revisited this restaurant and it was consistent in their food and service! Fantastic little place to get a great sandwich or hotdog with fries! The service was great and the food was very good! You get your money worth! We ordered a variety of sandwich or dogs.
Great food, the meat was HIGH QUALITY. Was full when i ate here so did not finish my burger but it was GOOOD. My friends licked the plate after finishing. Great environment, love the accents. Awesome meat selection and attention to care. Will ask if everything is fine. Gotta try the russian sauce REALLY GOOD. Will try something spicy next time!!
