Mike’s Delicatessen

This is a rare treat in bay ridge area, Mike’s deli is the only real delicatessen left in the area, great food both hot and cold. Their selection is very wide and delicious. I am glad they never disappeared.

Mike’s got a great selection of good fresh food. The chicken with broccoli is amazing. A+

An absolute gem!!! Both come to and order from Mike’s Delicatessen frequently and am never disappointed. The homemade soups are top notch, the sandwiches are supreme and the hot foods are pristine. I am never disappointed by the quality of anything I order here and everything is priced to please as well as fresh. The service I am provided with is also always exceptional and the delivery service is prompt. Glad that Mike’s Delicatessen exists here in Bay Ridge!

Mike’s Deli is on a weird stretch of street you find yourself on as you come up the steps of the 95 St R train stop at the furthest-​most end of Bay Ridge, where the Narrows opens out into Lower New York Bay. These blocks – 95 down to 101 – are almost but not quite under the ballsack of the Verazzano Bridge. Its a strange assortment of large and small buildings. Churches, car dealerships, business centers, banks, bodegas, laundromats, medical centers. Big long blocks which wear out your shoe leather.
Mike’s itself is in a little run of tiny narrow shops/​eateries hard by the train entrance which includes Cathy’s Diner and the ‘Organic Candy store’ (errmm, what?). Okay so, I admit you might saunter into Mike’s not expecting much. But – lo and behold, what greets your eyes? An enormous hot foods steam counter bursting with what seems like two dozen distinct prepared dishes. It’s quite a surprise. Boy, you better know it.
Very lean and focused operation. Drinks freezers to your left and hot steamin’ goodness to your right. That’s it. You stand, order, get your grub, and exit. Bim bam boom. No dilly-​dallyin, no clutter, no nonsense, no fru-​fru. None of that gluten-​free bullsh*t. Just simmerin’ fresh-​off-​the-​grill food, clean floors, well-​lit, and lucid English spoken.
Mac’n’cheese, steamed veggies, eggplant parm, five diff kinds of chicken cutlets, escarole, sausage/​peppers, sauerkraut n kielbasa, mashed taters, sweet taters, Taylor Pork Roll, fish cakes, chili, beef stew, soups and hashes of every type and variety. Now, this place is a find. I’m telling you what.
Especially on a cold wintry day, can you imagine? You hustle in here blowin’ on your hands and pink faced and frost on your eyelashes an cracked lips, needing some stick-​to-​your-​ribs type food in your belly… well you get your choice of a couple dozen pipin’-hot, American classics PDQ (pretty darn quick!) Plus a hot black cup of mud-​d-​d-​d-​d-​d.
Ore-​Ida. That’s what I’m talkin’ bout. And they do hot sammiches… TO ORDER. Served with a smile by some pale local waif, probably Mike’s dotter.
Mike’s gets my vote for keepin’ it real. I’d step in here to stuff my face-​hole with some mac’n’cheese any day. Hey! Hey! Toss some bacon on there honey wouldya? Thank ye right kindly missy… yer a doll… heat me up a bear-​claw on tha’ radar-range.pretty please.

Customer service is horrendous!
The last three times I went there I was ignored and actually never got to purchase anything because everytime I would try to call their attention they carried on talking.
Today I went there and the workers were carrying on about their personal business and I came in and just left because I was just irritated of how I was not served the last few times.

Delicious Roast Beef Sandwiches, Fish Sandwiches, Potato Salad, and Chicken Ceasar Wrap. Everything at this deli is fresh fresh fresh :)))

Delicious roast beef on brick oven bread. Also, the fish sandwich with tartar sauce is sublime. The only deli in Bay Ridge that has 4 about decades that I know of the same consistency of great food!

I know Mike’s is most well known for the lasagna, but I am here to tell you about their pristine egg sandwich. Sure, an egg sandwich is as pedestrian as they come, but once you have one here you can never have another one anywhere else. They really think and care about each component. The eggs are light and fluffy, not the dry, greying slab it is in most places. The bacon is always done right. Never burnt or a hard, jerky-​like piece of meat thrown on as an afterthought. The cheese is perfectly portioned so that it doesn’t overwhelm the whole thing as it melts.
If an egg sandwich was to be served in a fine dining establishment this is what they should aim for.

I eat here probably 2 – 3 times a week since moving to Bay Ridge. The staff is super friendly (and they kick a$$) and the food is never disappointing. I have tried almost everything from the hot bar and menu and really cant complain about much.
Its also one of the best omelets and breakfast potatoes in bay ridge. They actually cook them! The corn beef is incredible as well. The mac n cheese is delicious.

Nothing special here. Tried it for the first time and got some chicken cordon bleu for dinner. They didn’t have any sides that went with it so I was forced to take rice & beans. The cordon bleu tasted like it came out of a box of frozen foods, and the rice from another box. If this is the quality being offered, you might as well save your money and get something at the supermarket. When going to a deli, I’ll stick with John’s Shore Road Deli on 3^rd Ave.

I tried this deli for the 1^st time the other day since it’s right by the train and it was too hot to cook dinner. I got my usual roast beef sandwich and was excited when I realized they make their own roasts. And it did NOT disappoint. It was super fresh and flavorful. Best roast beef I’ve had in a long time.
The counter staff was pretty friendly.
I plan on trying their sides and hot specials one day.

Great Food — They Make the sandwiches thick and hearty! Go at least twice a week and only had one fight with a piece of chicken and my stomach —
The food is all same time prepared and the Mac and Cheese is extra Cheesy!

Wow. Sandwich was great.
Went for lunch today (3÷13÷12). Had a pastrami on rye with spicy mustard.
Bag of bugles and a root beer.
Service: Guy behind the counter (young/​bald guy) was very friendly and nice.
Selection: This place had everything you could imagine, very large lunch selection… cold cuts, and premade wraps, and rolls, and Italian food.
The atmosphere was also very nice, clearly recently remodeled.
They had a great drink selection, including beer.
My pastrami was really good, and next I will try the roast beef.
I wish they had seating, to eat lunch, but that is no big deal.
Would strongly recommend.

Mike’s is one of the many awesome spots in the Ridge. I dug it before the remodeling and now dig it even more! The guys who work there are super cute (never hurts to see a hottie on the way to work) and the girls are pretty fabulous as well. Service is always quick and friendly… never rushed.
Happily, I’m noticing that the hood is becoming more and more veggie friendly and Mike’s is no exception. Had the lentil soup a few weeks ago-​yummmmmmy.
I’ll be hitting Mike’s to pick up a few sides to bring with me for Tgiving… I’m sure everything will be fabulous!

They’re about to be remodeled so that’s nice, but prices are WAY too high. I had a pastrami sandwich that was good, but not 7 dollars good.

My boyfriend and I just moved to Bay Ridge from Williamsburg and are on our quest for a new deli (as we heavily relied upon Late Night Deli on Metropolitan Ave in WB for quick bites, etc) and thought we would give Mike’s a try.
The sandwiches aren’t bad, they’re just not worth the $ 7 a piece it averaged out to. If you’re going to charge that much, I want avocado, bacon, etc included in addition to actually putting the mayo on my sandwich as I requested. In regards to the last part of that previous sentence, I ordered mayo on my sandwich and instead of putting it on said sandwich they put mayo in a little tub, wrapped it in cling wrap and put a knife in the bag with our sandwiches for me to put on myself. A bit confusing and slightly annoying, but not in a *omg I’m a Unilocal foodie jerk snob* sort of way. Just thought that was a bit out of character.
We’ll probably give this place another go after they remodel, which apparently is supposed to be happening soon.

this place rocks! I always get a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on Saturdays before the English Premier games. The prices are good and they are prompt. Why the 4 stars you ask? Well a few times when I went in about 3 years ago one of the guys at the counter was a major dick, my tab came to 11.10 and I gave him 10.10 and I realized my error and gave him the extra dollar after he muttered some trash. But whatever he seems to be gone and I am still going here. Another plus is if you work for NYPD, FDNY, EMS they will come out to your vehicle to give you your food.
