Amy’s Deli

Once the deli changed ownership the business made a complete turn around. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Food is awesome and quick service.

Typical hood deli… I’m from Brooklyn so I know it gets MUCH worst than here… Anyhow, the sandwiches are great and French Fries fresh. I’ve never experienced bad service and any good «ghetto» excitement but their hot sandwiches always deliver…

Amy’s really sucks. The bald man at the front counter, who looks like Yul Brynner’s character in «The King and I», is always a jerk and will 86 you if you give him an attitude. Beer and snacks are fair priced, but as mentioned in another review, the sandwich man is lazy as hell. However, I found away around that, I tip him a buck as I place my order and I get great service. I also get at least an extra buck worth of meat so I suggest tipping the dude first.
The place is really really really ghetto. Always be ready for a show. There are always people hanging out participating in some sort of illegal activity late at night in front of the joint (no pun intended). I also once saw a woman take a swing at a guy who «was takin to long and made me miss gettin my numbers in». Priceless. They only charge you tax if you pay with a card, which is a plus.

Amazing deli sandwiches… especially the hot ones off the grill, don’t be afraid to ask for you own combination for a sandwich and hey its open 24hrs, even though the police precient is down 3 blocks from here not the safest area in the world.

Not bad if you need something as they’re open 24hrs. Your typical deli and there’s usually no line if your looking to get some food. Not bad sandwiches for around $ 6. I usually always get some kind of a show when I go there. You have the locals there coming in high off their drugs, slamming change on the counter for cigars to roll their blunts, or buying their 2 dollar 40oz beers with pennies and even yelling at the guy who runs the place. There’s always someone shady in there.

It’s great to have a deli around Queens College to purchase food. I come here to have a different type of sandwich. I usually purchase the BBQ chicken hero. The hero is around $ 6 which is cheap around Queens College since the school food is outrageously priced. It’s a little walk from campus and it’s worth the travel since I can have a lunch that can satisfy me till my next class is over. The sauce for the chicken makes the hero moist and tender. It would be great to have some of Amy’s breakfast but I always arrive late. The breakfast is also cheap. I like talking to the cashier in Spanish to pick up a few words here and there.
