Andersen Catering of Kings Park

Ok this is a well known spot for years, and thats the reason why I gave 2stars. The food is ok although one time I had a holiday catered there and it was a disappointment! Chicken Marsala was dry tasteless and cold. This place is mediocre at best and the help is just as bad .You can be standing there waiting for service and everyone is socializing and dont get me wrong… thats not the bad part. but when they ignore you a paying customer that sucks!!! The only thing I would buy there these days is the Lobster Bisque but haaa Ive vegan for years now. I wont buy anything for my family either. Lots of other places to be appreciated and better food. They are too smug to care these days. Food isnt up to par for the prices
May 28 2016:
I went back because my daughter insisted I go she likes their chicken hero with mayo and lettuce…
I ordered (was there soooo guess I should order). I got a eggplant with roasted peppers Had to take out the mozzarella I told them no cheese… and some kind of vinergette I was pleasantly surprised, I actually enjoyed it though I was Starving. Literally. But still the help. … Ughhhh .So it still gets 2stars.

There just aren’t enough bad things to say about this place. Disgraceful excuse for a deli. I called and ordered a wrap, requesting that it be made fresh (knowing that the pre-​made wraps sit there for god knows how long). I picked it up and to my delight the date was written right on the bottom of the container — from 2 days ago! So I had a good chuckle and proceeded to attempt to eat my 2 day old wrap that was freshly made as requested. Took one look at the «bacon» that was in it and threw it out (see picture). I don’t understand how this place has customers that think it’s a good establishment. The staff is unfriendly, rude, and clearly don’t care about what they’re doing or the food that they’re producing. DISGUSTING.

As a long time resident of Kings Park, I’ve never understood the town’s taking with Andersons.
The Food
Their cold cuts sandwiches are okay – relatively generic. Their tuna and egg salads are seldom good. Every few years I stop in hoping the deli has changed for the better, but even just a few weeks ago their egg salad tasted sour. I called to ask when they made it, hoping to inform them that it had spoiled, but they said it was fresh. I could forgive the food if it wasn’t for the owner, though.
The Owner
Perhaps he was stressed, but my primary reason for not going to Andersons for so long was the owners constant use of the «F» word behind the counter one afternoon. He was upset about a delivery and was loudly venting to the cashier. Nonetheless, there were children in the store. I was surely taken a back. It’s one thing to speak like that in the back, but out in the front? It was very inappropriate, and he barely batted an eye about it.
My go-​to deli is always Edelweiss. They’re tuna and egg salads never fail me, and the owner is always professional and kind. Perhaps that doesn’t mean a lot to some, but it certainly does for this Kings Park family!

DISGUSTING!!! Food is thrown together! Dirty!!!

One of the workers actually yelled at me angrily when I was there. I guess I did not move up to order quickly enough and he shouted angrily «Who’s up, let’s go!» Will never step in that place again for sure.

Best food around! They catered my wedding and everybody raved about the food.
My husband and I eat there at least once a week and the food is incredible.
My husband always gets the Italian hero with the works and I always get the roast beef with melted cheddar cheese as matter of fact we’re going there tomorrow as we’re going to the Hamptons and we always get heroes for the beach Yum! And I love the coleslaw!

Great place, fast service, like a Manhattan deli on Long Island. Huge variety food is good. I have also used them for catering many times great value every thing is always done right pleasure to do business with.

They had a really good buffalo chicken panini but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the egg sandwich. Roll tasted a little stale. Also they were a little pricey for a panini and egg sandwich, about $ 16.

Friendly staff and great sandwiches. I’m from Nassau county and I have to stop here every time I pass through kings park.

Ordered a hero for the winter classic party we do ever year and it was frozen, when I returned the wood I was asked how it was and told them it was frozen the guy told me I shouldn’t have left it outside and I responded I didn’t you guys did, he said that stinks. No I’m sorry can we make it up to you so I will never eat there or any of the other places they own Dixie’s smokehouse and Sombreros. Would give Zero stars if I could

Andersen makes the best Grilled Chicken Ceasar wrap. They’re also very quick and easy. You can order something and be out within 10 minutes. Mornings get pretty busy, but they get your order done quickly. It seems like a small deli, but inside they’ve got a lot going on. They have a lot to choose from and something for pretty much everyone.
This is my go to deli when I am in the area and need something quick.

Good selection. Friendly staff. Always busy but they manage to get you out quick. Old fashioned, full service deli rather than limited selection of a franchise sandwich shop.

My local spot for egg sandwiches and the buffalo bill sandwich. I’ve had soup here and it was good too. Just tell the guy who was making paninis last week to not lick his finger while cooking, gross! Wear some gloves too.

Great egg sandwiches. And my all time favorite is the cheese burger platter with waffle fries!

As a KP resident I’ve been coming here since high school. I’ll sometimes stop for lunch as they are quick about getting you your food and reasonably priced for the area. Breakfast however is the worst I’ve had anywhere, burnt coffee and sloppy runny eggs on rolls that are definitely not fresh.

Awesome sandwiches and chopped salad. Haven’t yet had a panini that I didn’t love. Never disappoints.

Nothing says ‘home’ to me like an original ‘Half & Half’ from Andersen’s. This is the deli of Kings Park, and had the best selection around. Highly recommend for everyone.

Great food. Quick service. This is the deli to go to when you visit Kings Park

Ah Smithtown High School West lunch periods, 40 mins to drive, eat, and come back to school. I was introduced to this place through friends years ago in high school. I must say from the outside you would think its just a small deli across the train station but they have a lot going on inside. Everything from cold cuts, to hot food, soup, salad, chips, all types of beverage selections.
They have some tables cramped up together with seating and a tv. Though I haven’t had it in years I remember the iced tea was less than $ 2 and it was a XXL sized drink. They used to also have really good puddings, cake slices, and custard I forget if they still serve it. Overall a nice place to stop by for breakfast, lunch, or just to get a snack before you hit Sunken Meadow.

I have to give this deli a high ³⁄₅ stars but only cause I have had some misfortune there. Overall there food is delicious. homemade soups daily, interesting and inventive panini sandwiches, great customer service and long history. The best deli easily within a 15 mile radius of itself but word of caution with there make your own salad option. I do not believe the guys who make it fully understand if something has gone bad. I ordered a spinach salad and ended up with food poisoning but I can forgive and forget as long as I don’t get my salad there anymore :-P.
