Long Island Eatery: Reviews & Ratings
Fantastic place to visit and eat at, watch Tv & enjoy some good coffee along good samichez. The legendary storybook, I like because it's an eggplant sandwich, where else do they sell those?
Authentic. Amazing breakfast. Only one way to go. Taylor ham, egg & cheese salt pepper ketch. You won't regret it.
The chicken salad is delicious! Absolutely the best I've ever had. Love the finely chopped texture and the slightly sweet taste. YUM!!!
Hands down BEST deli in Wilmington! We are from NY and trust me LIE is the best! The bread is AMAZING! Just like NY! Salads are all homemade and they make the meanest breakfast sandwiches around! If you haven't tried it yet, you're definitely missing out!!
People are super nice here. Service is very speedy. I'm the type to find one thing I like and stick to it. I chose the Port Jeff which is their spin on the Philly Cheesesteak. It's supper yummy! Their cheese has its own type of flavor I haven't had before. Also the environment feels like a Mom & Pop shop to me
This place is so underrated! Always good service and they always get the order right! Love them!
I do not understand why this place has only 3.5 stars. It's Healy score is a 99 which is rare around here, the prices are good, and the food is delicious! We encountered 3 employees while there and every one of them was very nice. Not just polite, but nice. Based on other reviews we were prepared for the people to be not-so-friendly, and we wouldn't care if they were! We're there to eat! Not make friends. Try it! If you like subs and sandwiches it'll be hard to find a better place around here!
