Reviews of Sal, Kris & Charlie's Deli
Inessa King
As I watched people order sandwiches I decided to place my own, "can I have a small of what that man just ordered?" I was greeted with a laugh and a, "we're in New York baby, we don't do nothing small here!" That was how I was introduced to one of the best and heaviest sandwiches I had ever eaten. My heart was so content. We opted for "THE BOMB" - I had to lug it on the subway and didn't eat it until we got to Times Square near our hotel. I had never been so patient in my life and boy did this patience pay off. So much flavour, crisp yet soft bun and while I nearly broke my jaw eating it - I loved every second of it. Don't be scared by the title - that sandwich is all you need. I will be back again next year for the same order as my early morning breakfast! A breakfast of champions - my husband and I had energy until after lunch. Don't miss out!

Was there today. This was comes so highly rated. Everything is takeout. No Seats. The sandwiches are huge. The Italian bread is exactly what it should be, delicious. There are so many combinations of meat. At 2pm there were about 10 people waiting in line. The service is very fast. It is everything that all the reviewers say. After we were finished my friend who was with me said the would be coming back. This is exactly what a NY Deli should be. Thanks.

Looking for an awesome hero sandwich? This place is an institution serving best hero sandwich’s for the past 30 years. The sesame bread makes all the difference. Each hero sandwich is made to order and loaded with meat. Each sandwich feels like it is 5 pounds. The Boars Head ham loaded up can get salty. Try a low sodium version or turkey. Bring cash as it is cash only.
ani chan
Literally the best sandwich shop in all of new York. Would highly recommend the bomb as just like it's described it does come fully loaded. It's a heavy filling sandwich that doesn't leave you feeling too guilty either and always super fresh. The people here are super friendly and super fast at what they do, during lunch rush can literally run through a store long line in a matter of 15 minutes or less. The macaroni salad is also great as well and pairs great with the bomb!
Todd Pollins
I saw a guy on YouTube proclaim this place as 1 of the best in the city, I had to try it. I got the Italian combo. Great doesn't even begin to describe this monster of a hero! Very tasty, they aren't cheap with the meats!!! I can stomach the price (16 dollars), beyond well worth it!!!! I definitely will return and try some of the other sandwiches and buy a ball cap.
Joe Perruccio
It lives up to the hype, no question. Sandwiches are huge, delicious, and they’re ready quick. Definitely worth the trip and the try.
Also, they have a fun selection of chips you can’t usually buy in the US.
Vanessa Bridges
Best sandwich - the bomb is to die for. Get your sandwich cut in 4s as it is so big. We got the bomb, Italian and American. You can’t go wrong with anything from here.
Chazz Coleman
The most authentic deli I’ve ever munched on. Trust me. If you want a premium sub to serenade your taste buds into the wee hours of the night, you’re gonna want to travel here. NOW!
d
my oh my this place is rad. got the only vegetarian option on the menu in the egg salad hero ($8.50). there must be like a dozen eggs in that thing—it’s massive. bread has a great sesame kick. service is fast and guys behind the counter are super nice. cash only.
Renee Alston
Sal and Kris is hands down the best sandwich shop in NYC! Forget your bodega! Forget that awful place called Subway and go here!!!! You pretty much aren’t gonna eat for the rest of the day. The sandwiches are made fresh and the bread is out of this world! The staff is fast, efficient, and always helpful. Do yourself a favor and take your behind to this place and thank me later!
Attila Mocanu NYC Realtor
Legendary italian deli, one of the few left in the area. I got The Bomb of course and the Hot Soppresata roll. It's amazing. This is the only place where I don't mind it's cash only
Sara Ross
This is hands-down the best Italian sammy I've ever put in my mouth! The hot peppers add a nice kick! I wish it had the option to add red onion but that's besides the point. Great value, great size, great taste. $25 and we'll worth it. Pics for context!
Joshua Spivak
One of the most insane sandwiches I have ever had. It was gigantic and so delicious. Between my wife and I, we couldn’t finish it. Get the Bomb. LGM.
Nick “Nick e” E
Huge sandwiches, one is enough for two people. CASH ONLY!! (Ordering via phone before you arrive is recommended, usually a long line)
John Cristancho
Been going to the Hero Kings for a better part of 25+ years and they have never let me down with their selection of cold cuts and sides.....and the fact that you can make your sandwich your way is awesome.... what's the old saying "Often imitated, Never duplicated."
Their hero's are so desirable that when I go visit NY expatriates in PA, FL or NJ, they always ask me to bring them "The Bomb"& a Manhattan Special.
Keep up the good work Boys.
Zach W
This spot has a place in my dreams. I haven't gone in a while but still recommend it to anyone I meet craving HUGE TASTY sandwich. I show them a video of them cutting my hero and it baffles them how huge it is. A single "The Bomb" sandwich will easily feed 4. It's my "treat myself" spot for a deli sandwich. One time I came in and I was waiting behind a fireman ordering for the whole department, at least 20 heros. Heros need heros. Please, for the love of everything deli sliced, make your way here at least once in your life.
Mike T.
When in Astoria. I go to Sal, Kris, and Charlie's for their "bomb" Italian combo. It is easily 4 delicious meals in one sandwich. Thanks.
Monica Rooprai
One of the best sandwiches I have ever had eaten! I absolutely loved how caring they were to my husbands allergy and went above and beyond!
Thank you so much and I can’t wait to return to NYC to have one of the best sandwiches again!
I would 100% recommend getting ‘THE BOMB’!
RG P
Huge awesome sandwich for a great price and very friendly service. Got the Bomb sandwich to share and I still couldn't finish half.
Issela Cabrera
Went to this place for the first time ever and not only was the food deliciously made, but also quickly and efficiently. The people and atmosphere were awesome!! I loved the family friendly feeling to the place. Has a very welcoming vibe to the place. The sandwiches are the biggest portions out there. Worth every penny! My favorite were "The bomb" and "The Franky sandwich" (not an actual sandwich name, just really delicious combo!, "Thinly sliced prosciutt, fresh mozzarell, oil, vinegar, and oregano" Will definitely come back for the best sandwich shop in town. I will miss the sandwiches all the way from Las Vegas! ALSO REALLY LOVED THE HAT!!!
Nathan
From when we first read about this deli we had high expectations. Upon arriving at the deli you can see that it is a piece of history in Astoria. When we got inside you could smell all the fresh ingredients the amazing meats, cheeses, and the fresh bread. The sandwiches were delicious and extremely filling.
Chris P
First off let me start off that this place is expensive and I totally understand due to high food costs. But let me also add that the quality of meat has declined since the dad passed away. Totally convinced its not Boars Head but cheaper imitation meat because taste not the same. So buying cheaper imitation meat but charge higher prices doesn't bode well. Don't get me wrong the sons are cool but the dad was old school and a businessman. He would never close for 4 days for Thanksgiving LOL!
Elsa C
My friend live in queens and she recommend me to check it out this deli. Because they have an awesome bomb sandwich.
I live in bk so that's way too far, til today I got tot work near here so that's time to check it out.
When I enter the store, only 2 people were there ordering, but after my turn, suddenly there were about 7-8 people start to line up after me. My friend said it usually very packed on the weekends.
Anyways. I order the bomb, which she recommend. Fill with all kinds of hams cheese and veges. The sandwich is super huge. I think definitely good for 3-4 person. It taste really good, the ham already had a lots of flavor to it so they didn't add too much sauce. The bread had crunchy texture on the outside but not too hard to bite. Everything combine so well together. And I only ate 1/4 of it.
George Arvan__
By far the freshest and bestest cold sandwiches you’ll ever eat !! Super fresh and the hero bread is by far my favorite!! These are big boy sandwiches so get your big boy pants on !! Amazing!!
bobwho1995
Ordered the bomb, $16. Was prob longer than a foot, maybe 14 inches. Lots of different meats and pickled veggies. I give it an 8/10. Solid sandwich but nothing life changing.
Erica Wrage
I mean it's a deli. But the best kind!! Besides all the regular stuff, the sandwiches are out of this world. I literally traveled from the Bronx to buy "The Bomb" sandwich. Amazing.
Sandie
The Bomb sandwich is “THE BOMB”! What a sandwich! It’s HUGE!! With every fresh cold-cut you could think of. To me, it may be one of the best delis in Queens or even NY! Can’t wait to try another one of their hero sandwiches. 🥖 Too bad that it’s a few boroughs away from me, but nothing that a train & a bus could keep me from gettin there! Lol.
Earl Light
My friend took me there to try the sandwiches and they were very good they give you a lot of meat. The hard bread with the seeds on it made it taste great.
James Gardner
Ok so I drive 2.5 hours to get a sandwich from here.. The bomb was delicious.. upscale sandwich for sure.. The American was insane!!!! The deli meat and cheese was fresh and flavor packed.. The guys behind the counter were pleasant, all in all a wonderful place to get a sandwich..
John Hagan
This is a phenomenal deli. Food was prepared quick and it tasted amazing. The staff were really nice too, especially for recommendations.
Jan Klein Poelhuis
One of the best subs I have ever had. I order the bomb, apparently the biggest sandwich you can order there. Most certainly the biggest sandwich I ordered in my life, that is for sure.
Within are layers and layers of different ingredients and meat. Topped with sauces, lettuce and sour peppers. I love it!
The staff in this shop is just great. You can easily feel that they like their jobs. They are enthusiastic and make you feel happy.
I'm going here one more time again on this trip!
N. B.
The sandwich is huge they give you lots of deli meat. The bread is hard but super goat. Parking is not bad. I would definitely go back.
Sai Hawkins
Name of the sandwich is "the bomb" and lemme tell you it will take you down to flavor town, spin you around, put on some pounds! Delicous!! Great service, awesome kind workers, and all in great time.
John Hsieh
SKC's Deli really does deserve their title of being the "Sandwich King of Astoria." Their sandwiches are amazing. Typically, delis that makes large sized sandwiches suffers from low quality ingredients, but not at SKC. Their meat and bread are always fresh due to the high foot traffic. We typically order the Italian Combo (instead of everyone's favorite, the Bomb), because we really don't enjoy the American meats that much. We also like ordering a potato salad on the side to change up the flavor to help consuming the large sandwich. The place is cash only, but a $20 bill will buy you more than enough food for at least 2 people. Parking is impossible around this place, but typically the patrons park up the curb at the no standing zone right outside the shop. The service speed is so quick that the meter maid is not quick enough to cite all the illegally parked cars during the busy hours, so they don't even bother stopping.
Angelo Roldan
They have the best heroes ever. Everything on the menu taste phenomenal. The cold cuts are all fresh. The dressing on the sandwich has so much flavor. I advice you to order the bomb. It has a little bit of everything. Plus it just explodes in your mouth with flavor.
Melissa Trivino
Best sándwiches in Astoria!! Hands down! Every time I visit NY, I must stop at Sal, Kris & Charlie's deli to get my sandwich before heading to the airport! Must stop by!
George
Incredible sandwich. We got the bomb and it was the bomb. Stacks of meat, flavorful toppings. Wish we had a deli like this back at home. Friendly staff and very quick service
Jennifer Louise Lopez
The was a long line when I went. But there were two people working the counter. So the line went quickly.
$14 for the Italian Sub that I bought. After eating one part of the sub, I do not think it is worth it.
Marcella Diamond
At a glance this place looks like a normal deli, but beyond the hungry customers lies deliciousness. I discovered this spot a couple months ago and have been addicted ever since. I drive in from Brooklyn almost every week for the most delicious deli sandwich I've ever had. The sandwiches are HUGE! Almost like the ones you see in scooby doo. You can easily share with multiple people and they'd even cut it in four if you ask. This place is cash only but they do have an ATM inside if you need. Overall, if you're looking for an amazing sandwich, this is your spot. There's a reason they're called the sandwich king of Astoria.
Mark Hamilton
Absolutely massive phenomenal Italian hero with hot and sweet peppers tossed on top. Loads of flavor and easily shared between 2
Joe Morse
“The Bomb” is insane, seemed like it had every deli meat they offer on there. I have a fairly big appetite and I could only finish half. Excellent.
Mia
BEST SANDWICHES IN NYC. Hands down. My fiancé and I came all the way from Brooklyn just to get these sandwiches. A win every time.
B. Nosam
A solid sandwich The Bomb is as it's name implies. It's a monstrous deli delight who's weight is comparable to a new born baby. Get ready for a delicious challenge but I must say the Italian bread needs a little work sometimes it can be a little to hard to enjoy but I see what it needs to be able to hold up. Get there early and for $9.50 be prepared to be full for 2 days.
Raymond Foley
Best sandwich ever!!! If the line is long, dont worry it moves fast. I always get The Bomb. Cash only.
kidrock_
We had been wanting to come to this deli for a while, being new to the area, and it was great! The place was crowded but 2 large heroes only took around 10 minutes or less. The amount that you pay compared to the portions are crazy. Only got around to eating half of our sandwiches. They have a lot of options and the food was delicious and fresh. I guess their sign was true cuz they are the sandwich KINGS🥇😋.
Michael Le
Great hoagies. This place is famous for the bomb.. one of NYCs must have sandwiches. Don't get me wrong, it's a great sandwich. But I am partial to the Italian combo. Something about the sharp provolone and salty meats that really does it for me.
Lunch and dinner rushes are usually pretty busy but they have plenty of people helping out so it moves pretty quick. my only gripe is that is cash only and it does close pretty early if you think of it as a sandwich shop. Also, there are times when the bread is stale, super dry and crumbly. Maybe you like that. The bomb is what's in the pictures.
Li ming Hu
Great sandwiches and fast service. Cash only spot but they do have an ATM in the back. I ordered the bomb and the Italian with 1/2lbs of macaroni salad, potato salad and Cole slaw. Extra 1/2lb of honey ham and honey turkey for home to make quick sandwiches during the busy week
Cinnamon 175
Of course we had to have "The Bomb." It surely has the correct name as it definitely is the bomb. First the size is tremendous. Second the flavors explode in your mouth. Best sandwich we ever had!
Sarah A
The best sandwich place to go to! We use to get one every time before the beach in the summer, cannot wait to go get one soon, moved to LI recently but still come here because there is no place like it! 🤤 …
J.A.W L.I.G
Amazing deli sandwich with tasty meats and pickles. I'm writing this in the aftermath of "The Bomb", so I'm slightly comatose. It's a huge sandwich, easily 2 meals (for most sane people).
Ken M
Definitely the best sandwich I’ve ever had. For years. After 3 hours in the car. At a funeral for someone I didn’t know. These sandwiches are so good I think about the next time after my last bite. Insane.
The bomb is huge. Feeds 3 people easy but you won’t want to share after the first bite. Sauce is hottttttttttt! But don’t go easy. The pain is like the first 6 months in NYC. After that it just gets better and better.
Keep coming back. Don’t eat breakfast. Just go straight for lunch.
Ervin M Ventura
Wow!!! The first word out of my mouth after taking a bite. “The Bomb” is delicious and fresh. The best cold cut hero I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh from the meats and cheese to the bread yum yumm definitely recommend when in the area
Mark Sweeney
Always packed sandwiches here. No frills, order what you want… it gets made fresh. Monster size sandwiches on fresh bread.
S S
Long story short. Met this guy in Dubai. He Said “ I can get you anything within 24hrs” Me: I want a turkey sandwich from Sal Chris and Charlie’s in Astoria. 24hrs later it showed up at my room. No questions asked 🤷🏻♂️ Welcome to Dubai Sal Chris and Charlie 😋
Josh Davis
Awesome deli in Queens. Make sure to get the Bomb!!! Been in the neighborhood for over 30 years!
Latise Williams
Omg I love these guys and they have the best sandwiches hands down they are consistent and I’ve been getting subs from here the last 7 years strong every time I visit the state it’s a must I go by there…not to mention some of them are sure handsome 🥰
Teresa Veneziano
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DELI IN ASTORIA!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The guys are all so nice, fast and efficient!! Always worth the 15-20 min drive from Queens
Kimberly Peng
The Bomb is massive and straight up delicious. It's difficult to eat it in one seating, but that's great. Savor that goodness. The combo of meats and veggies are 👌 …
William chandler
I Love this place. I live in Hawaii an I love a good sandwich. They rock it over here. I'm stopping there everytime I'm in NYC.
Armie P
The best Italian combo in town! I come here for their amazing large heros and literally it does not compare to any other place I have been to period.
Average Berson
Amazing sandwiches!! Highly recommended.
Friends and I shared the Bomb and I think you all should try it too.
Also had a pound of the chicken salad. It was so handy to have it home for the next day or two to make quick meals.
R C
Super generous servings of deli meat. Very busy but lines move fast. The bomb is excellent. Tuna salad is also delicious. Prices are fair.
Len Oppenheimer
The "Alpha Twins" recommend the place to me and I asked for Nick who the all knowing hero pro. He recommended the two most popular sandwiches, and being a good student I followed his lead. I ordered the Italian Sub for lunch and The Bomb for dinner. Great subs , stuffed to the max on a great fresh hero bread. The condiments rounded out the finishing touch. The hot peppers were my favorite. These guys are the real deal and became my all time favorite sub shop. Just writing this review makes my mouth water again. Look at his sub and try and tell me you aren't looking for the car keys now! Go....
Kara Bob
Not worth the hype, bread was stale and sandwich dry. Would not make a custom sandwich with 2 different meats. Counter staff are not very friendly. Order ahead, got the impression they don't like walk in orders.
J
What a spot for legit sandwiches, the heroes are hugeeeee, very fast service too. Definitely a top spot for heroes in NYC.
Oliver McLean
The best sandwich place in New York, huge sandwich for like 13 bucks.
Brian Whoo
Always the best this place. The best cold cut sandwich place in all of NYC. Huge sandwiches like the bomb or the Italian combo! I've been coming here for 16 years now and love it every time!
killian doran
This is my favourite deli in Astoria! I always go for the Fully loaded Italian combo. The sweet red peppers toe this sandwich together big time and the meat is always fresh! You could feed 4 people with it and a bag of chips to share.
Pro Tip: Definitely ask for your sandwich to be cut in to four pieces though, wether you're sharing or eating it yourself,it makes the eating experience a whole lot easier.
steve hernandez
Any sandwich you get here is outta this world love it here
Steven T Lee
The best delicious Italian cold cut hero sub sandwich in the town with reasonable price. The sandwiches are freshly made and custom order. Their special sandwiches are the Bomb, which is everything or Italian combo. During the lunch time, make sure to order ahead over the phone if you don't want to wait long line. This place is cash only transaction. The sub is very large size and can share among 2 adults and ask them to cut in either 2 pieces or 4 pieces. I definitely recommend this lovely local deli if you are looking for good price with high quality of meat.
Nan disimo
Treat yourself! Overloaded sandwiches+cheap prices= amazing sandwich shop. The service is A1. I will say the lunch rush is crazy busy but everyone behind the counter works! The longest I waited was 10 mins and I didn’t call in my order ahead of time.
Brian Walsh
Prices on par with any decent NY deli about $16.99 for a hero. The bomb their signature sandwich is out of this world. So much flavor your taste buds barely know whats going on. The portion size is also tremendous. Are heroes and wings more expensive with Biden in the white house; absolutely. But this deli delivers in not only quantity but quality. Can't go wrong stopping here!
Ashley Alvarez
My go to spot for sandwiches! Best in NyC! Need a fat sandwich to keep you full, come here. They will never disappoint!
KLAEYZ
Once you have a sandwich from here you realize how bad everywhere else is. I was spoiled growing up in jersey with amazing heroes, and it’s weirdly difficult to find a proper sandwich let alone a hero in ny... this place is phenomenal.
eric boatner
They give you big monster size heros!
Means you're gonna take a real big monster dump later! Service was great! I don't mind traveling from midtown cause it's worth every bite!
Michael Maurer
Pro tip - get The Bomb, but substitute their fresh mozzarella for the American cheese.
Haiden Victor
The staff is very patient and friendly. They answered every question and gave details of what is in the sandwiches I ordered. I will definitely return.
Nick Bongiovanni
These sandwiches are absolutely massive and delicious!!!! Got "The Bomb" which is a 10/10
Ameury Matias
Haven't been here in years and was pleasantly surprised that their sandwich are still Top Notch. A gem in Astoria
ang gom
The Bomb sandwich is the best satisfying sandwich ever.... taste, size, price is only $14, freshness, flavor, perfect mixed toppings, gradual level of spiciness. I mean.... no enough words to describe it. Just get one, drive from wherever and have the experience. 10 stars!!!!! Fast service and nice people.
Christine Yang
a must visit location... the sandwiches are massive (definitely can feed 3-4) and amazing value ($10). bring cash & empty stomach!
Ronald Wilson (Bronxvinylfunk, on IG)
When I say Huge sandwich, I mean huge and tasty. The Bread bakeries they use have been phenomenal all these years. A tasty sandwich. As I've gotten older it's much harder for me to finish these sandwiches. The enormous size . Be smart. Get it dry, take the condiments to go. The 2nd half of the sandwich will get soggy. A great place. Reasonable price.
Marlene Garabetian
Stopped in on my way to JFK for a sandwich to take with me on the plane. I got the Bomb sandwich, it was everything Joey Tribbiani would dream of! Absolutely delicious 😋
David Choi
Awesome Italian sub here. A friend heard about this place and we picked up a couple. It's one of the best subs I've ever had in my life. I've been a huge fan of white house down in AC ever since a long time ago and this place is the only place that rivals that place for me.
Sheldon Campbell
Best hero sandwichs i ever had & the portions of the meats is huge which what makes it great.
Archie Oman Egbert
Go here and get "The Bomb" and you will die happy. This place is small and is cash only, but the sandwiches are the best I have had here, and I don't like sandwiches. (banana for scale)
Jerome Teevin
Love is place! Mark super huge sandwiches which sandwiches! Although I typically get one with a round bun so it's not as big! I used to get roast pizza sandwich with Swiss cheese lettuce tomato and peppers both hot and sweet and a little bit of Mayo and it is delicious!
juan roman
The best bang for your buck if you're looking for an awesome wedge.
Brian Mills
Never had a bad sandwich from this place. If you can't go wrong! Everything is so fresh
Shell “ShellyL” Jacks
The sandwich are large enough to feed 2 people. However to have to pay extra for everything that makes a hero flavorful will run your bill from the actual cost of $10-12 to $20.00. Very pricey
Lauren Privateer
Hands down the absolute most amazing best sandwich I have ever ever had is that called the Bomb. I haven’t lived in Astoria in 10yrs but I still think of Sal, Kris & Charlie’s the Bomb sandwich and how it changed my life. Flavorful! Generous portions of meat! I need the Bomb back in my life.
JeBuS CHRiSTo
This will always be a 5 star joint in my heart. It's not the price, parking, or the staff. I've been lucky enough to have pop hand me cuts of meat to eat while I waited when I was small. I'll never not love or recommend this place, but let's be honest some things have changed. I'm an Italian combo guy, and the meat has gone from imported and top shelf to horses pepperoni and salami. It's not the end of the world, and I get it the sandwich can't cost 20 plus dollars. That won't stop the kid in me being a little bit sad. With that being said I have had one just this week, and I'll be back for more. I'll tip with a smile and genuinely enjoy myself from ordering it right up to the last bite.
Will Johns
Great family owned sandwich spot. Great for parties and conferences.
#BombHero
*3 foot bomb hero . Great stuff
K L (WorldTraveler)
We really enjoyed our sandwiches here in Orlando. Well worth the money.
John W Ellison
Had this today and oboy it was great
Eduardo Sarauz
What could I say;The best sandwich in Astoria. Been going here for a long time. Their 6 ft for the Super Bowl. Uff.
Tends to get crowded during lunch time.
Highly recommended.
Lori Omrane
By far the BEST sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Everything is super fresh. Great selection of meats, cheeses, toppings. The bread is out of this world. I’m so lucky to live in Astoria & have access to the crave worthy heroes all day long.
Joel Brown
The BEST hero shop in NYC, I come from da Bx at 5am (when they open... fresh bread delivered daily) just for an AMERICAN, ITALIAN COMBO, & ROAST BEEF, SHARP PROVOLONE, L/T/O, mustard & horseradish...
YUMMMMMMMMM
Lyn Augu
Def worth the trip... the sandwiches are monster-size. Made fresh, breads fresh and family friendly environment. I look forward to returning and trying each one on the menu.
Nicholas Pallis
A must go-to when in Astoria, massive hero sandwiches. Very good prices, quality is a perfect ten every time!
Steve Sharp
Wow. The bomb was awesome...layers of meat, veggiesand lots of taste.
Greg Hubert
They went in on the veggie sandwich. Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and hot peppers. Massive sandwich, just a heads up.
Griffin Ulsh
Some of the best sandwiches around, highly recommend!
Alex Baryshnikov
The best !!! I love sandwiches and these guys know exactly how to make the best damn sandwiches. So happy to find them. Btw a hero easily feeds 2 ppl. THEY ARE HUGE!!
Krista Beth
Amazing sandwiches, friendly staff I've been coming here since I was a kid and the quality has always been consistent
Cri Cri
THE BOMB SALAM ALAYKUM SANDWICH!!!
Is THE BOMB but Halal! AMAZING 100%
I’m a huge fan!
Cynthia Cruz
It was the first time buying sandwiches from Sal,Kris and Charlie's deli. I heard from a friend how good they are and they were. It was worth every penny. So if you are in Queens stop by for a bit.
Brenda Cominale
The place to go if you are hungry/hangry and need a great hero. They only take cash but- no worries they have you covered with an ATM.
Justine Clare Moran
Don't let the lines put you off, they move quickly and these sandwiches are worth it. The bomb is very spicy and one between two people is a very full meal.
Matthew Dowell
Killer sandwiches every time. A must if you're in NYC.
Philippos Sidiroglou
Best sandwich deal in Astoria. Delicious and nutritious. Bring cash
Carrie Herndon
I was visiting my son in Brooklyn and he took me to this amazing deli. I can see why they call it The Bomb! It is the Biggest and Best sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. It's hard to get all the flavors in one bite, it's so BIG. I wish we had a deli like Sal, Kris & Charlie's Deli here in Texas. Looking forward to eating here again on my next trip to NYC. Be sure to grab an ale from The Astoria Tavern next door. Cozy little place. Goes well with your sandwich.

So I google best cold sandwich in NYC and came across Sal, Kris & Charlie's Deli. Seen the reviews and everyone talking about "The Bomb"(name of the sandwich) so I was sold. I needed this sandwich in my life. I drove from Lower Manhattan to Astoria Queens and arrived at the deli. Super friendly, clean, authentic REAL sandwich spot. After taking my first bite all I could say was "Oh my God". This sandwich was amazing. This monster of a sandwich was the best cold sandwich I have had in my life. I can't believe I had not gone here before. Definitely #1 sandwich Deli of NYC. Definitely will be going there more often and definitely will be spreading the word to friends and co-workers of the sandwich kings Sal, Kris and Charlie's Deli.

Sal, Kris & Charlie's remains Queens' legendary deli. Their sandwiches are huge and their meats, cheeses, and toppings are all delicious and extraordinary compared to the usual deli offerings of a typical NYC corner spot. This deli is cash only, but you'll get your money's worth as your order will easily feed you twice. From the Bomb, to a simple smoked turkey on a roll, to prosciutto and mozzarella this place will leave you satisfied and satiated. There is no place to sit. This is a take out only joint, but they will get you out of there quickly.

This has been my to go Deli since 2018 when I found this place and since then when I am in the mood for a good Italian sandwich this is very I always want to go, there is no other Deli in Queens, NY that can compare to the quality sandwiches made here!!!!
Not once I have been disappointed when eating their sandwiches, always fresh, always tasty and always huge!!!! They offer so many different choices, not your typical deli. My favorites are the tuna and the bomb sandwich so different yet so delicious.
Let me say it again the focus here are how huge & good these sandwiches are, during the summer it can get very very packed, expect a big line to order but so very worth it.
Genie Sweetness
It smells HEAVENLY from the outside. You can’t help but to go in. They are so friendly and FAST! The most delicious sandwich I have EVER eaten!
“Da Bomb” was truly 💣💣💣

Samantha Kronenbitter
Always the best! A fully loaded sandwich for a reasonable price. The bomb is huge all the portions are huge. Great sides etc.

Truly mouth watering sandwiches! The delicious hero bread really makes it that much better. Worth every penny!
Eytihia Stavrianos
This is a historic sandwich spot of the neighborhood, I know this place for 31 + years. Every sandwich is beyond expectations, tuna fish, macaroni salad, coleslaw. All these years and everything is exactly the same delicious. They are all like family, kind,friendly. Worth the food and the wait. Greatly miss Charlie
Nyaisha Lee
If you like sandwiches, can eat pork, and like a little spicy kick in your food - get "The BOMB". This place is famous for their "The BOMB" sandwiches. They also make other kinds of sandwiches and can be accommodating if you want to customize the sandwiches to your liking. The staff is always friendly and nice. They'll take good care of you. A lot of NYPD/law enforcement from far and wide like to order from here as well.
Jacqui Sherrod
Phenomenal sandwich! Smoked turkey and provolone hero. My 1st time here definitely not my last. Only con they wrap the sandwiches at the counter where people stand to order... I don't like that. Don't need people talking over my food. Other than that 1 of the best sandwiches ever!
Rob T
WOW WOW WOW WOW - Did I say WOW?? The sandwich is amazing - Taste is beyond anything you could imagine. Yes it is just that great. As for size well the sandwich is the length of my forearm. I could eat 2 of the 4 pieces it was cut into and I was stuffed. It it easily two meals. So many options to choose from too. I went with The Italian.. Next will be the Bomb - Yes I am going back again and again!! Thank you guys for a great meal.
Tom Helbig
I got "the Bomb", a sandwich so large I think it's trying to kill me. Also it was delicious. Real good bread.
Willie Rivera
They are the best sandwiches in NYC. service is always awesome and the food is fresh.
Carlos Soderstrom
The Best Sandwich Spot In Queens!! The Italian Combo Rules!! Sal Kris & Charlie's is The Best!! Thank You. 😎👍💯 …
Justin Baez
A must go. Big meaty sandwiches that are well worth the wait. Delicious!
Jack Harry
Fast service and great sandwiches. Only place in Astoria to get a good Italian sub.
gennaro trotta
I wish I had taken a picture of the sandwiches my buddy and I bought. The sandwiches are by far the biggest I have ever bought. Two guys that like to eat and we could only finish one of them. Definitely a place I plan on going back to. AMAZING!!
Christopher London
IF you consider yourself a connoisseur of an excellent Italian Hero Sandwich and you have never gotten a hero from Sal, Kris & Charlies Deli then you may not have experienced the truly perfect sandwich. There is a reason that this place has patronage from customers of nearly every type of human you can imagine: Truckers, Cops, Construction Workers, Hipsters, Professionals, Housewives...you name it and they will often be on line at the busiest times of day. It is not just that their customer service is excellent, warm, attentive and friendly, cause it is, but it is also because they are so adept and efficient at delivering to you a hero on fresh bread with fresh ingredients. HERE IS THE THING (and its my theory): their turnover of inventory happens so quickly that literally everything you are eating from this place never gets the chance to grow stale. If you live in or anywhere near Astoria, Queens and you have never been to this place, you have no idea what you are missing out on.
Tyrone Powaday
The heroes were long and packed perfectly.. not too much meat and not too little. Just right. One half of the hero would have been enough..It was my first time ordering but definitely not my last. I would recommend this spot to all who enjoys a great deli sammich!
Erin Buchwald
Chicken salad? HANDS DOWN. Sal & Chris has the BEST. I used to travel on two trains and on foot to get here. My goodness. I never made it past the chicken salad sammiches, but my friends say everything is good.
Adam Corrigan
Best Italian Combo you've ever had. Hands down. Check out "The Bomb" too. Sandwiches are huge, the bread is amazing, and the prices are fair. Parking can be a pain and they get busy during lunch hours. Seriously awesome sandwiches though. "Sandwich King!"
E Mac
Visited this great establishment a few years ago while touring Astoria. My goodness. Best bang for the buck. I’d highly recommend this place for any sandwich lovers. Can’t wait to come back and get a pastrami.
Thomas Oreckinto
Great sandwich. Like the kind I used to get when I grew up in Brooklyn before the hipsters and foreigners moved in. They eat tofu and soy. SAD!
sinan erel
Excellent food so cheap and fresh. Cash only.
Rob A.
This is hands down the best sandwich shop in the USA for cold sandwiches. The quality is top notch. The place is super clean. The size of the sandwich is unreal. It's so big you can save some for later. I've been to many "gourmet" sandwich shops and not even the best one compares to Sal Kris and Charlie's. I have dreams about this sandwich.
Eneida Vasquez
It was the bomb.com. We are from Jersey and when we want a good NY sandwich we go there. The place serves HUGE sandwiches and they are all good. I get the bomb which is literally the bomb. Great place and always packed and they are fast. Recommended to anyone anywhere to check them out.
Mike Anastasiou
Park on the sidewalk and be happy. Best heroes in NYC.
Kim watkins watkins
Omg this is the best sandwich I had in a long time. The bread was so good n the meats were even better. Had the Bomb n I see y it has that name. More the. Enough meats,cheese and toppings.
JON JON
Excellent food. Fresh Bread and the sandwiches are humongous with reasonable prices. Looking for a good place to have a hero then Go here. Hero so Big you will only be able to eat 1 half. The other half you must save for another day.
Truly a great Hero spot.
Diana Quin
The bomb sandwich and the Italian combo were amazing! Highly recommend
M Hdak
Great place ! If you go there get the Bomb ! Best Sandwich!
Lino Presotto
You want a sandwich that can feed 4 regular people?
You want a sandwich that you. An eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
You want a hero that can double as an improvised weapon?
Go to SK&C and order "The Bomb" its essentially an American style hero AND an Italian style hero on one sandwich. Sandwich isn't really an accurate term. This thing is as long as my hand and forearm. High quality cold cuts, put together very well, fresh bread and super friendly counter people. Love the peppers they use, and don't forget to tip the counter guys!
Michelle Darysel
Honestly came here for the Bomb and im obsessed!! it was soo good & huge!! The hero looked like i was holding a baby LMAO! a love the spot. Theyre always so busy but work fast ! I recommend 100% and ifeel like they can make any sandwich a 10/10. PS they are cash onlyyy & if you want to pick up a order i say give them like 15 minutes.
Tim Finney
Best $17 sandwich in town!
Jorge Lopez
Alway like to get lunch from this sandwich place. It is the best.
Mad Maxx
Gave this place a try after all my coworkers would bring up these huge sandwiches at lunch time and I was in awe. They told me to give it a try and I won't be sorry. Needless to say, I was definitely NOT sorry! I ordered the Italian sandwich which was pretty much an entire loaf of soft Italian bread. It was packed with fresh deli meats and sweet peppers. I ate the entire thing in one sitting, although the last 3 bites took some effort to achieve! This place is by far the best old school Italian sub place you can find. These places have all but just about disappeared so this place is a true Jewel in the neighborhood! I'll definitely be back! Rock on fellas!!
Joe Santora - Transworld Business Advisors
Best sandwiches in the 5 boroughs. The Bomb is the bomb.
Quiendra Conley
Super tasty as we remembered from 2019! We are so glad this place made the Covid dip in everyone’s business. The bomb sandwich is our favorite. Can’t wait to go back. Bring your appetite!!
Shirley Calderon
1st time at this deli and I must say, it truly is all the hype it gets! "The Bomb" was huge and they stuff it up! Definitely, the best sandwich spot in queens and the price is under $13.00. Recommend this to everyone!!! Happy New Year!!!
Ramona Krueger
"TheBomb" Best Deli Sandwich I have ever had! 🥰 …
Jessie Stratton
Can’t believe I haven’t been here before. The prices are great and the subs are delicious. It’s cash only but they have an ATM inside ($2.50 processing fee but worth it for the convenience). I’ll definitely be back!
John Lafferty
The best hero in nyc prob the country.
Nicholas Villacci JR
Love this deli, they make the best sandwiches ever!! The workers are very fast and accurate, even if the line is long, you won't wait very long at all.
gus baxis
The owners are great people. And their size of Heroes and selections of meat are awesome. And for the price they charge no one in New York comes even close. Great deal worth every penny and they don't charge a lot.
Quinn Sutton
THE BEST DELI IN QUEENS WITHOUT QUESTION.....AND ONE OF THE 2 BEST DELIS IN THE CITY IN MY OPINION.....THIS PLACE NEVERRRRRR DISAPPOINTS.....YOU BETTER BE HUNGRY WHEN YOU GET A SANDWICH FROM THESE BOYS!!!!! ALWAYS A CONSISTENT RESULT!
Jonathan Abad
The bomb is a good sandwich if you're into everything in between a hero bread. Super big can feed 2. For me it was way too much sandwich. Next trip looking for something with lots of flavor and not fighting to get a good bite.
elalva
Are you hungry?
Deli does not do this place justice.
I enjoy their hero sandwiches. The bread is delicious and the quantities of cheese, meat, lettuce, tomatoes are too much for one person!
I love the Italian with the spicy peppers but the American with roast beef is a close second.
Would you.believe each enormous sub is $10.75!
Popin Tees
Little deli in Astoria .... But Man oh Man their lunch sandwich is great .... all you need is 1 for the whole day Lol ... its Called " The Bomb " that's all u gotta order !!
T S
Massive sandwich that actually has massive flavor.
Ordered "The Bomb" that was huge and split with a colleague for lunch. The sandwich was loaded with fresh lettuce, tomato, various meats and amazing peppers. I am amazed I finished half a sandwich that quick due to its explosion of flavors, get it lol.
Its a staple of Astoria that everyone should visit. I have never heard one negative issue with this deli but praise for their items and prices. Bring a friend to not only help you devour these monstrosities but carry it out.
David Goldsmith
If you find yourself complaining about the size and quality of ingredients wherever you get your sandwiches, you owe it to yourself to try this place. Widely known for the enormity of their heros and filled with the good stuff.
The place is usually busy but a bunch of (very friendly) guys behind the counter so things move pretty quickly. Sandwiches aren't cheap (around $12 to $15) but they're twice the size of a lot of other places. Parking can be pretty difficult and only made worse by "Open Streets" gaslighting program. If you can manage that you'll be in for a great experience.
Spirit Guardian444
Sandwich is good but long lines and no delivery. Also, called in for pickup and still told to wait online while the sandwich sits and is soggy. Haven’t been back since. And still no delivery. Bad customer service.
Dipok Das
Amazing spot with amazing monster sandwiches. Would recommend to try them anyday 5/5
Johnny Riquero
I ordered The Bomb sandwich for a day at the beach. Good for two large adults or two servings. 😋
Joe Zeolla
Probably the most stacked sandwich you'll ever have
Briana
The Bomb is massive and delicious. Felt like I could get some muscle definition with the weight of that thing lol. I was full off of one quarter. Best sandwich I’ve ever had no doubt. There seems to be a sense of camaraderie among the regulars. Fast and friendly service. Thanks!
Stavros Tsahirides
I usually get "The Bomb" but got tuna this time. Everything is fresh and delicious and the workers are great!
Charles Tanzer
I had a roast beef and Swiss on a hero and it wasn't as good as the sandwiches usually are.. Hope they do better next time Cause usually their sandwiches are very good.
Moe T
This place has the best Hero sandwich then Katz. Reasonable price not a blimpie or subway skimpy sandwich a real sandwich. Love this place been coming over 5 yrs or better. There sandwich is better then American hero in Brooklyn and they close down yrs ago. Your must go and try to see what im talking about. Parking suck but worth a parking ticket.
Carlos Jimenez
Still one of the best sandwiches (The Bomb) in NYC!
Andrew Sullivan
I’m a vegetarian and they didn’t have any menu options that excluded meat products, so they made me a sandwich with various cheeses and vegetables. The cheese was very good and it was very enjoyable. If you’re staying here you got to go there.
Abram
Can’t go wrong with the “bomb” from sandwich king.
Arya V
Had the bomb and was disappointed. Jersey mikes is better
Thiago Chaves
-$13 Sandwhich, WORTH IT.
-Get 1 sandwich, you can have lunch for two days.
-No parking lot and not easy to find spots in the area....
BUT: you can park on the median or in front of Deli, but try not to do that for more then 5 > 10 minutes, which is a typical time frame for them to get your sandwich done if it's busy(which always is!).
Definitely go check them out. The Italian sandwich is great!
Gary Flagler
If you’re hungry, this is the only place you need to eat
I was skeptical at first to order anything online but after receiving my order unbelievable. Overnight shipping
5 stars
Fresh
The quantity of meat is unbelievable per sandwich. I’m a pretty big guy and I could only eat half of one. The vegetables super fresh nothing was soggy.
Awesome

I told them I would write a review, so here it is! Rated “the best sandwich shop in Astoria” Sal, Kris & Charlie’s Deli did not disappoint. “The Bomb”, was the one of the best sandwiches I’ve eaten. The bread was fresh, and soft and the mixture tasted flavorful with a hint of spicy.
With a price comparable to Subway, you’re getting more sandwich with a better taste for your money. For $12 bucks, I was very satisfied. Will be returning!
Jason M
Best sandwhich shop in the country. Get the pickled peppers on your sandwhich and you won't ask yourself why Peter picked them.
The subs are 14 inches, you have to unhinge your jaw to bite into them (they're that thick), so $13 is 3 meals.
Chase Ainsworth
This place is honestly hit or miss for me. Sometimes they will make the sandwich perfect, sometimes they will leave stuff off that you requested. You can have the same person make you two separate sandwiches, and he will make them differently for some reason even though you did not ask for them to be different.
Sometimes with no mayo and only mustard, sometimes with all mayo and no mustard, sometimes they will use their hot pepper spread, sometimes they will use the sweet one, sometimes they wont use any. It baffles me, I swear they just throw dice back there and slap whatever condiments the roll tells them to.
Unfortunately, no other deli around can figure out how to put together a sandwich that tastes decent so I have to gamble and hope that the meat gods will be in my favor each time I go.
c'est la vie!!!
A Shen
The best sandwiches, and they are huge. Get "The Bomb" and/or an Italian and enjoy for multiple meals. They can get pretty busy, but the guys behind the counter are very fast and efficient.
Jen D
Always delicious. I don't buy into "The Bomb" like mostly everyone else does. I go simple. Turkey and swiss with the works (lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, sweet peppers and vinegar) on whole grain bread. I can legitimately get 4 servings from one sandwich (and their whole grain is only slightly larger than a decent sized roll) and at $8 that's pretty awesome.
The guys behind the counter are machines. Never screw up an order. Always consistent. Don't forget to tip! Not necessary, but definitely most deserved.
Choose from old school and new school type sodas, a plethora of different style potato chips, salads (huge fan of their potato and macaroni) and more.
Sometimes a wait but the well oiled machine is constantly moving and on the go so the wait is never terribly long. I probably waited a total of ten minutes today and that's usually the average; for me anyway.
Cash only!
Joey D
Awesome overstuffed sandwiches found here
Chris Han
The Bomb sandwich isn't for the faint of heart but if you've got an appetite, be ready to gorge on some serious meat. They add a ton of sweet peppers, which balances everything out pretty well. There's usually a wait on weekends but they're pretty quick churning out sandwiches.
Julian Cabezas
One of the best delis you can go to in astoria. It's cash only but there is an atm in the back; you want to make sure you order the bomb or the italian combo, with hot peppers, this is a must!! Soaked in brine they have a tangy spice that brings out the best in these sandwiches. One other thing, one sandwich itself is massive, it's basically the size of my forearm! It's enough for 2 or one really hungry person.
D. Lo
Sorry! Forgot to take a picture! I was to hungry to stop to take a selfie with the super huge sammich! Definitely worth your money! Great selection of Italian favorites. Do expect a line. The sandwiches are big so you'll be eating good for a few days for me it lasted 4 days! For my friend (guy) it lasted 30 min. 🤣😂🤣 …
Jessica Lin
The Bomb Fully Loaded from @salkrisandcharlies ~ $14
.
This sandwich is ginormous.. could barely hold it with one hand… about 15 inches in length and over 3 inches in height.. like, it’s meant to feed 2-3 people right? Chun and I only ate 1/2 of that sandwich for dinner, but to be fair, we had a late lunch and we had some chips with sandwich. It was the perfect amount, we didn’t overstuff ourselves, I think if we ate the entire sandwich, for sure some food coma…
.
The sandwich was personally delivered by @thehungryferret (thank you so much) around 2:30, and into the fridge it went. 6 hrs later, the sandwich was still intact, bread was not soaked with the mayo or the moisture from the peppers and/or lettuce…
.
I see the hype, I would prob get this sandwich again, or try their other ones…
.
Juice
Wow I heard there was a lot of hype around this place and man they where right. I had the bomb sandwich and it was delicious. The sandwich is huge! I had it cut into 4 pieces and I'm glad I did because I couldn't finish it. This was literally my breakfast lunch and dinner. The sweet peppers we're delicious and the meats and cheeses we're fresh and tasty and I could taste every piece. The guys were friendly and work really fast. There were about 5 or 6 people in front of me and I waited about 8 minutes to order and receive my order so don't be hesitant if you see a lot of people. I will be back!
Andrija Visekruna
The heroes we picked up here right before our hike fed us for the entire day. The heroes are absolutely massive and value for money. Furthermore, everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. Can't wait to grab another hero from them soon! My one gripe (it's a minor one) is that the business is cash only. Nonetheless, the effort is worth it!
Samantha Camacho
Great sandwiches! Beware...cash only. Worth the trip to the ATM!
C
A Queens landmark. I've been going here forever and it's always the same quality and incredible sandwiches every time I go. The guys working here are awesome. If you can finish a Bomb or Italian in one sitting you deserve an award. Seriously the best sandwich spot in NYC. Parking is obviously terrible if you're driving there.
Dustin Gamester
This is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. 10/10, highly recommend!
Dave Chi
Grest food & service been going there since 2000. 23 yrs
James Sherlock
Reminiscent of the Italian heros of old
Quick, courteous service, delicious fresh cuts & proper portions!
I went there hungry & still couldn't finish an entire sandwich.
The prices are extremely reasonable, I haven't had a deli make a sub this well in over 25 years.
Elizabeth Perez
The best place I've found to get some great sandwiches! Never disappointed when I come here!
G D
Best sandwiches in town, full stop!
Barrie Smith
So good! You really can't find a sandwich this big and tasty anywhere else.Fast and fresh"The bomb" - a packed sandwich thats feed 4 people for only $11.70. Everything from the bread to the pickled peppers - amazing. I'd eat this everyday. Cash only!The potato salad was also very good. Service is fast and friendly.
Daniel Schmidt
This place is an absolute must whether you are a local or just around for a day. Their old-school Italian sub shop feel is exactly what you want it to be. If you are getting The Bomb, either bring a friend or plan on having it for at least your next two meals.
George
Been coming here for years!!! Always love a good cold cut and this is as good as it gets. Large portions at cheap prices that cant be beat. Haven't found a place that makes them better than at Sal, Kris and Charlies. This is a cash only establishment with an ATM inside.
James
Tried this place today based on recommendation of friends because I've been trying to find a great Italian sub and the local bodegas were good -- but not great.
Hands down the best Italian sub I've ever had. I usually don't like crusty bread and prefer hot subs over cold cuts, but this changed my opinion on both points.
Delicious mix of meats, a little heat from the sweet peppers, the perfect meat-to-bread ratio, and the bread is like a softer version of a pretzel stick.
Perfect sub and nice staff.
Check it out.
Luis franqui
I’ve gone here 1000000000000 times and my sandwich has never been bad. So this place should be a 5.0
George Almi Jr
Still King... Bread is always excellent which is very important. Cuts are piled high but in proportentially accurate. Get the classics or make your own as i always do. Although there is a small supply, do try the Whole grain hero, great flavor... Don't sleep on the sides; Egg Salad, Cole Slaw etc... Loads of drink and chip selections 👍👍👍👍
C W
The best hero I’ve ever had in NYC hands down. It’s a trek to get to if you’re not a local, but it is worth the trip. We got their signature sandwich “The Bomb” and it was everything other reviewers said it was.
Get them to slice it in quarters; it’s enough to share with multiple people. 5 well-deserved stars!
Frank Gournelos
best heroes in queens! been coming here for years and its always consistant. everytime i get the godfather hero its loaded!!!!
Savannah King
Sal, Kris, and Charlie's is a top tier, next level, high quality NYC deli. If you haven't ordered a sandwich from here, you've got to! Service is wonderful and their sandwiches are seriously excellent. The Italian combo is a personal favorite of mine, especially if you add some of those pickled peppers on top...sweet AND hot! Heads up, these sandwiches are HUGE so you might want to share it with someone, or don't, but either way prepare yourself for some serious taste bud satisfaction!
ray dockery
My life long sandwich spot great variety
Well worth the trip and the money
ChariotManGaming
I wanted a Sandwich on my lunch break I went to my favorite Sandwich place in Manhattan to only find out it had closed down. But I forgot about somebody told me about this Deli in Astoria Queens. Man when I tell you this is the best Sandwich I had ever eaten is an understatement. Just delicious. Come all the way from work on 125st in Manhattan. Side note. It Absolutely destroys Subway's.
Ruben Roque
I mean if there were ever a sandwich spot, this definitely lives up to the hype! The Bomb says it all! You can order whatever kind of deli sandwich you please, but the Bomb is the ultimate idgaf ordeal! I suggest sharing but if you're hungry then by all means.
Charles Diamond
Sal Kris & Charlie's is my favorite little deli, because Da Bomb is he best sandwich in NY. You ever wish you could get an 18 inch sub with everything? That's the bomb. It must weigh 5 pounds, I'm not even exaggerating. Plus, the guys in the deli are great.
Paul Moore
Da Bomb is the best sandwich in the world, and not just because it's the biggest and has everything.. it's just truly a masterpiece. If you really love a good sandwich alot more than you probably should, then I guarantee you will never be disappointed. It may even bring a tear to your eye the first time or if you haven't had one in a while.. know that that's ok and it's a perfectly natural reaction.
Thank you to the owners and employees who work so hard and do a great job.
Tony Flores
This place has and always will be a Queens staple. CASH ONLY ! They're sandwiches are top notch, and even though the prices have gone up significantly throughout the years, it's still so worth it! I've been coming here for about 10 years and every single time i'm overly satisfied. The fresh bread, the freshness of the cold cuts, the hot & sweet peppers! It's everything you could want or ask for from an italian deli! I usually get the BOMB on a hero(pictured) which can easily feed 2 people no problem. The hero is GARGANTUAN...Ask them to cut the hero into 4, trust me!
Katy
This was our first stop after traveling from England for 18 hours. We were hungry and tired and this place made everything so much better. The guys were so nice, the soda choice was incredible and the roll was the biggest, tastiest and freshest sandwich I've ever eaten. Thanks guys.
DANI
When I crave a sandwich, I don't go anywhere else. Absolutely love this little spot. Highly recommend getting fresh mozzarella on your sandwich if you go. They have a nice selection of meat, cheese, bread and toppings. They also have a variety of drinks you can choose from the cooler and little pastries and chips for whatever you're craving!
Michael Aponte
Omg the best sandwich for your buck!!!! I love this place!!!
Got with an appetite because those sandwiches would leave you over stuffed!!!
Valerie Laub
Huge subs!! The Italian sandwich is delicious. The serving is enough to eat for 2 meals. Great deli to grab a sandwich when heading to the beach or the park for the day! There’s nowhere to sit inside so be ready to take the food to go.
Ed
Awesome place in Astoria to get a sub the selection of meats are amazing and always fresh. Love how large these sandwiches are and you cant beat the price. They can feed multiple people or last a person 2 meals at min. Try to go here to grab a sandwich everytime I am in the neighborhood. Would recommend calling in advance and have an extra person with you parking can be tough.
HJC
Go, get a sandwich, you won't be disappointed. It will last you like 4-5 meals for $12, totally worth it and absolutely delicious. Bread is fresh and great too!
Matt Pineiro
The best classic deli sandwich you can get in New York for the best price. One hero can easily feed two people and maybe three if you're not that hungry. The bread is always perfectly fresh with a great bite to the crust. The cold cuts are always fresh. It's always a bit crowded but the wonderful staff keeps things moving quickly. If you're ever in Astoria for any reason, make the pilgrimage here. It's worth it.
Paul Peters
Quick service and friendly atmosphere! Sandwich was good had it for two days in a row! To much to eat in one seating! Will come here again when in the area. Can be crowded. Showed up on the early side, so not to bad!
delia sanchez
The Italian sandwich and the Bomb have to be one of NYC’s best gems! A must have always!
Deb Pfeifer
Amazing Sandwiches!!!
Fast service. A definite stop if in the area.
Kris Jusino
This place is the ONLY place for quality and quantity at a killer price. Get The Bomb. Get it fully loaded, cut into 4, and enjoy multiple meals for less than $15. Cash only and be sure to tip these amazing guys well!!
Conrad
Better than Wawa. That's right you heard me.
These sandwiches are sent from heaven after being kissed by an angel. They're so thiiiic and filling you won't have to eat for the next two days. You won't find such an epic "food to cost" ratio anywhere else in the city. My one and only complaint (always room for improvement!) Is that they sometimes get the order wrong. I know it looks cool not having to write the order down but it brings a tear to my eye when the pickles are missing.
Michael Walker
Absolutely one of the best delis in Queens, but also the 5 boros! Everything is fresh and they have a large selection. The staff is friendly and know how to makes sandwiches! You will not be disappointed!
E Laureano
Not many words can or will describe this place but I will try. Customer service was on point. Selection was great. Sandwiches were incredibly delicious!! You want a deli sandwich with great service and Quality meats? This is your place? Prices are a bit high but the portions are well worth it!! Serious return for me!!
Chino C
Hands down, the Best Hero place I have ever visited.
The Italian bread they use is spot-on Delicious. The cold cuts are always fresh
There's usually a line. But it moves pretty fast.
The only minor drawback is the parking situation. I always bring someone to avoid having to search for a spot. But I like their food to much to knock them down below 5 *****
:)

Easily the largest and best hero sandwiches I've ever had. The bomb is an enormous combination of American and Italian cold cuts, while the Italian combo has all the Italian favorites with lettuce, tomato, onion, hot and sweet peppers with oil and vinegar. Many other sandwiches available or make your own. Large selection of drinks and chips. Favorite of all the trades and locals. And the prices for the bomb and combo are $9.50 - a steal for the amount of food.

Used to go here all the time when my husband and I lived in Astoria. As a foodie and life long sub lover, I have yet to find a place with heroes as good as theirs. My favorite is the house speciality with everything on it! Anytime I’m visiting home, this is one of the places I need to make a visit. Looking at the photos online is making me salivate, like Pavlov’s Dog! 🤤

One of the best places to get cold cuts. Cash only though and parking is difficult. Great service!
Laura Kroh
Best sandwiches in the city! I'm a vegetarian, so I always get their excellent egg salad sandwich, but I've brought lots of meat-eating friends here and they've all loved it, too! The sandwiches are huge!
Verlene Jinks
Excellent I love their heroes. I have Brought family and friends they All love The heroes We appreciate the freshness of the food. We can smell the the fresh bread Walking to the store. It's worth the ride.
Matt Blank
Simply the best sandwiches around. No question. I bring people from out of town here when they visit.
Steven Lee
Believe the hype.
I tried driving here on a Sunday without noticing their hours and they close at 3pm! Since I really wanted to try this place out, I purposely took the train after work the next day just to try this place out.
Arriving at 6:30pm Monday, no line, no wait. I Ordered the Bomb and asked for it to be spicy. After carefully building and compiling the mountains of ingredients for my bomb, the sandwich artist brought his work of art back to the counter where he can wrap it up. Just looking from a far, this sandwich was HUGE! $7.75 out the door in less than 5 minutes. I simply could not wait till I got home to try it. Unwrapping the sandwich on the sidewalk with people walking by eyeing my precious, I took a bite and it was the best sandwich I've ever had.
The mix of Italian and American meats with spicy peppers blended so well together. They were made for each other to be sliced and piled high on a 12 foot sub. I wished I had a ruler to measure the specifications of this beast. All sandwiches should have a standard in height, weight and circumference and most importantly taste, this place should define the standard of all sandwiches.

There is no better place in NYC to get an Italian sandwich, or any sandwich for that matter. Disregard 1,2 and even 3 star reviews. Consumption is so high at this place, you ONLY get fresh cold cuts, bread and condiments. Theres a reason why all the fridges for sodas are packed to the gills with boars head cold cuts. I've been a loyal customer since the late 70s when Sal and Tony were running the place, and the quality has always been top notch. No one does it better at their price point
C. Foo
Small deli shop in Astoria, famous for their heroes. Great location to order catering for parties or super bowl parties. Prices are very reasonable and quality is top-notch. Just know that there's no parking available, and you'll get a ticket if you stop in front, so come with a buddy or be prepared to walk a bit.

Neighborhood Sub spot with lunch lines to the corner. If you love old fashioned subs with the cold cuts stacked high this is the place. Been around for years and the service is quick.
Andy Godown
Best sandwiches and custom food around must try
Alban Yee
If you don't know about this place, you're not a New Yorker. Hands down the best sandwich shop in town. This where everyone goes. Neighbors, fire department, police officers. Everyone. Get the bomb. It's a 6 pound sandwich for 8 bucks. You're welcome.
Nene Perk
The sandwiches was awesome. It was my first time going there didn't realize how huge the sandwiches was. Great customer service. Everyone was really nice. Will go back
Patrick Healy
If you are not eating your sandwiches from this place, I can't help you. If you are new to the area run, don't walk, to this place and get the Italian combo. Make sure you bring a friend to split it with because you will not finish it yourself.
Upsides: GREAT sandwiches at a great price and the crew there is awesome. You will see lots of cops, firemen, and tradesmen there getting lunch. That's a sure indication that you should be eating here.
Downsides: lines can get long, cash only and no seating. The last point isn't that bad as you can take that sandwich next door to the Astoria Tavern and enjoy it with a pint of beer.
You're welcome.
Nicole Kukla
Best sandwiches in the world, hands down. I had a smoked turkey hero sub that was absolutely to die for. Super filling because they pack so much into the sandwich. You can have pretty much whatever you want on it and everything is so fresh, including the bread.
Rajat Shetty
If I had to show off Astoria to visitors, this is definitely one of the spots I have to take them too. The sandwiches are unique and plentiful, the service is quick and the folks working there are really professional. And dear god, the portions! Good work guys!
Jackie Nese
Easily best deli of Astoria and beyond. They’re sandwiches are FRESH on the best quality bread and HUGE. We got three sandwiches for a super bowl party and it was perfect for 6+ people. A true gem!
Kristin Vidile
The Bomb sandwich. Just do it. This place is a true Italian deli - a classic - only find in New York - kind of place. If you're looking for a true deli sandwich, not shy on the meat, this is where you go.
Jairo Reina
I just went to buy a coffee, but when I saw those super sandwiches I said this is incredible I have to go back. They looked delicious I have to go back, and also the roll with cream cheese "delicious "👍
Gary
The gold standard of deli’s, all other deli’s ought to look up to this one. So glad we have this gem in Queens and I hope it stays that way! Their sandwiches are out. of. this. WORLD!
Chris Hinkleman
I haven't been to this deli in thirteen years, and I now live in another country. Almost as far from Queens as is geographically possible (Melbourne, Australia). Regardless of this, I still remember the turkey subs at this deli. Service is second to none, and the subs themselves are the best that I've had in my life. Additionally, I'm happy that these guys don't seem to waste their time on having a (largely useless) website or on other marketing ploys; these guys simply have the best food/service around, and they don't need a bunch of smoke and mirrors to prove it. This place is the best.
Jake Fleischmann
Da Bomb was exactly that. That sandwich was all that and a bag of chips. There's a reason this place hold the Best Sandwich in Queens trophy, its because it is.
peter Gaskawitz
I love the Bomb hero. It is the bomb! I named my lil Bob. Cant wait to go back
Steve Adams
Loved the sandwices immensely but can not comprehend how they can sell jam packed sandwiches and make a profit. The cost is less then $10 for a hero that can feed 3 or 4 people. I would highly recommend this sandwich place to anyone with an appetite who loves a tastey meal and does not need seating or ambience.
M Shep
I’ve been coming here for years since I was introduced to it by a coworker who lives in Astoria. “The Bomb” is definitely my favorite sandwich here, I’m sure the others are great too, but maaan once you get “The Bomb” how can you get anything else?!?! This place is always fast paced, efficient, and friendly which as a New Yorker I appreciate. I definitely recommend Sal, Kris, & Charlie’s to anyone visiting the area! Oh! And try wearing a Mets hat and see if you get better service :)
Javier Alderete
In love with this place. Best 11 bucks on the planet u will ever spend for a sandwich. I recommend and stand by my word as an all American consumer that this is the best sandwich in the world. Not one ethnicity would complain or argue after eating this monster sandwich. All hail sal chris & charlies
Cee Bee
The true Sandwich King of Astoria! Huge sandwiches (a hero can feed two people) and quick staff service! Certainly worth still stop anytime your craving a good sandwich made right. Just remember this is a CASH only deli!!
Sean Greenberg
Best sandwiches around. Prices have gone up recently but still a great value. One sandwich can easily feed you for two meals. Lines get really long but the guys behind the counter keep it going so quickly that you never wait long.
Kimberly Feliciano
My husband and ai go here often, we love eating thier sandwiches our favorite is The Bomb its so delicious the place is always clean and the staff is very friendly
Robert Brusilo
These guys make a hell of a sandwich! Everything was good, I just wish they alternate the meats and cheeses when they build those sandwiches. I think they have little room to improve on the bread. There's so many good bakeries around here, they could give us more choices.
Renato Da Silveira
Best Spot to get a Cold-Cut Sandwich! Would always come here get two heros before going to the beach. Cheap, for around same price of a subway sandwich but triple the size and not just on piece of meat & cheese. They are known for their sandwich called "The Bomb" pretty much has every meat and cheese you can think of, I'd be impressed if you finished it. I just wish they had bacon only thing that would make their sandwiches better haha
Highly recommend you check them out, grab a sandwich and go to Astoria Park
Achilles Zeus
Great place to have a hero, it's been here for a long long time... Good people good food great place... And it's still standing strong... I want to wish everyone good health ... On this upcoming new year.. be well
malik butler
The best sandwich on earth! Period! Don't even tey to dispute me lol ...Hero large enough for two but too delicious to share. I'm not from queens and I didn't mind paying the toll on the rfk to go grab one. I no longer live in the city but every chance I can I go grab a hero. Do yourself a favor
Zachary Ballas
Excellent sandwich. Huge for the price. Heroes are 12+ inches, delicious and generous in filings. Staff was quick and kind. Big drink fridge. Cash only!
Jen G
Get the bomb or the italian! Do not just get ham & cheese (you can, but why?!) Heroes are huge, cold cuts always fresh, bread is the best.. crisp outside chewy inside! Call ahead and skip the wait.
roger r
This place is a family owned business that has been there since I was a kid. Sandwiches are good but the bread is stail. The only good thing is the meat. We all know what makes a great sandwich is the bread. And at $10.00 a pop w customers should get the best of both worlds. Would I recommend this place to anyone. Maybee back in the days.
Renee padilla-Bloomfield
Best hero sandwich ever!
Brian Steinhauser
Sandwich is a work of art taste great also
Andrew R. Caban
"The Bomb" Best Italian bread, soft inside and crisp crust. There sweet peppers are great and they have just about every Snapple flavor I've ever seen. They know sandwiches.
Lady B
The sandwiches are deeeelicious!!!! Get the bomb or italian if u don't like spicy
Amy lin
I took my wife here for her birthday and I must say I agree with almost everyone on their reviews here- its all about the ambiance and the decoration not so much about the food. I would say 10/10 for decoration and 7/10 for food. Oh yes the price is quite high as well so make sure you are ready for $40 entree choices.
So to start on the good things- The decoration and the ambiance is amazing- it takes you to Moscow in an instant. The colors, the tea pots, and the RED everywhere!! Beautiful.
Our favorite part of the meal was the tea and dessert, you must try it!! The black tea in beautiful cup and cherries on top with their traditional dessert is so great. We went for the traditional- Famous Tea Room Blintzes for dessert and any black tea is perfection.
Now off to the turnoffs- The manager there is incredibly terrible. Very cold to the guests and also to his staff. I mean he was yelling at his waiter in front of guests at one point...we felt bad for that waiter. But we saw similar things happening around. Drama!! Also, service is 6/10 considering we had to wait a long time before our check was picked up...by manager not the waiter!! That was awkward since he picked up without saying sorry for the slow service while the waiter was nowhere to be found. Dont get me wrong, we do understand this kind of behavior when busy but we were there at an off time of 7:45 pm. Anyways that's that.
Rebeka Stander
I was looking for a nice deli and got this gem from Teddy's guide! Absolutely love this deli! Their sandwiches are great can never go wrong! Prices are fair and great customer service.
DaQ
Truly delicious and filling sandwiches for an amazing price. Sal, Kris, & Charlie's is without a doubt the sandwich king of Queens. Been coming here for 15 years and never once been disappointed.
Gina Skladanek
Delicious. Fast service. Great price.
Khalid S
Great price for a very large sandwich. Staff was friendly and the service was efficient. Enjoyed the experience a lot. Can't wait to go back.
Saj Shah
Best deli in the area. Fresh bread with brilliant staff. Very friendly!!
Black E. Blackerton
Usually a wait, sometimes a long wait, especially at lunch time. All kinds of MTA personnel (B&T, Transit), NYPD, NYC Correction, Con Ed, Verizon, etc come here. Definitely an old fashioned Italian sandwich shop, with huge sandwiches for a great price, for what you get. Worth the wait, worth the price. I get the Bomb, minus the peppers and onions. Classic Italian combo sandwich...
Arun Nair
Awesome sandwiches for low prices. Definitely worth it. Wish they had a few more vegan options but still great.
juan velez
Top notch Sandwich shop, fresh cuts of meat , delicious cheese selections , fresh veggies and good attitudes. Definitely recommend this place for HUGE subs .. perfect sandwiches for trips, gatherings , picnics even beach days
Frank Celentano
Sal and Kris is an Astoria staple. If your serious about sandwiches you owe it to yourself to check this place out. They can pretty much make any sandwich your heart desires.
christophe
What can you say that hasn't been said before, the only thing I regret is not coming here more often. I was interested on how everything would taste, meat to cheese ratio as well as the condiments. This is the best hero I have had everything is perfectly balanced and just a behemoth of a hero. I will have to get the italian combo next time, also they carry a number of different flavors of Manhattan special which is almost impossible to find. Bravo Sal, Kris and Charlie.
Chloe
$9.50 for a huge stuffed Hero with All your favorite Italian coldcuts made everyday fresh the way you want. Decent selection of prepared egg, macaroni and shrimp salads, etc..
My favorite is the Bomb, spicy, and perfect for carnivorous eaters.
The Italian is second choice delicious.
Both the egg & macaroni salads are on point.
$2.00 Cape Cod 5oz chips can't be beat.
Nice cold case selection of soda pops by Stewart's.
Cash only., a tip is in order.
Best Deli for the price conscious, great for catering large parties, All for take out only.
James White
Another sandwich place in NYC that you have to try. You can easily split a hero with 2 people and still be full. I’ve never gotten a bad sandwich from here.
Danielle Russ
The sandwiches here are on point. I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my sandwich.
Jessica Norton
Very busy spot with Great sandwiches.
Only downfall is there is really no parking.
tz
Their sandwiches never disappoint
Vic Ortiz
Heaven. The best sandwiches I've eaten. The best sandwiches period. You can feed 3 people with one sandwich. Even when you see a looooooooooooong line just go in, don't leave, it actually moves fast cause they have all the meats, etc cut already . You have nypd, fdny, sanitation, con ed, locals, etc in that tight small place.
Jimmy Iordanou
Amazing Sandwiches! No sandwich anywhere that I have ever been to comes close to this.
Massive packed sandwich, ingredients are fresh. Pricing is very affordable. Ask for the Bomb!
David Barton
Sal, Kris, & Charlie’s Deli can be considered somewhat of an Astoria sandwich institution. This cash-only deli serves up high-quality cold cuts on even better bread. However, don’t expect anything fancy, Sal, Kris, & Charlie’s is exactly what you envision when you think of your typical New York City deli.
Their claim to fame is “The Bomb” – a sandwich loaded with every possible type of meat, cheese and topping on (basically) an entire loaf of semolina bread. To say this sandwich is enormous would be an understatement. It’s pretty much the size and thickness of your arm and weighs a few pounds. This is by far the biggest sandwich I’ve ever had and I think I’m still full from it. Layer upon layer of delicious cold cuts are piled high and then smothered with toppings. This all sits in between a perfect loaf of bread – a crunchy crust and chewy inner layer.
This sandwich is just what you’d expect if you took an entire deli and put it on bread. The bread was the real standout winner in my book. It reminded me of the bread from Arthur Avenue (I need to take a trip back there very soon). With all these different meats and cheeses, you can’t really pick out specific flavors, rather the taste of the condiments shine through. The mustard did slightly overpower the sandwich, which I didn’t particularly care for, so I’d advise anyone to ask for them to go light on this condiment.
The Verdict
At $7.75 for a sandwich that’s enough to feed a small family, this is one hell of a deal. Many of the comments on Yelp and other sites say they split these sandwiches with a friend. Good idea. I finished the entire thing in one sitting and thought my stomach was going to explode. Next time, I’ll be giving the Italian a try since I think that’s more up my alley as far as taste goes. If you’re on a quest to find some of the top sandwiches in New York City, visit Sal, Kris, & Charlie’s and get “The Bomb.” Come hungry. It’s an experience for any sandwich lover.
Demetri Sanders
This is the spot to get your sandwich, it's primarily cold sandwiches but this is how a sandwich should be made, fresh fresh and fresh, the most famous sandwich the bomb is a must, great price, outstanding sandwiches, just a little too pack in the deli sometimes but hey at least you know why it's packed, a must stop if you ask me
Steve A
By far best sandwich in 5 borough's - no frills but amazing food!!
Gina Haskins
Absolutely love this place. The best sandwiches ever. I live out of state however when my sister comes to visit she always bring us a treat.
Viv C
The sandwich is really as large as they say it is. I took a photo to substantiate that it was as big as my head (and that was only half of the sandwich)!
If you’d like to eat two pounds of deli meat, definitely stop by. It is insanely uncomfortable to finish by yourself!
Christina
Massive Deli sandwiches that are 100% satisfying! They are not cheap with the sandwich toppings and are very efficient with getting large orders completed accurately and fast. Only down side is they close at 3pm on Sundays 😩 …
Atlanta Amado
Really good if u're just a regular joe who wants a giant, old fashioned Italian sub. If u're at all used to eating nitrate free meats + cheese that is processed cheese 'food'. Fantastic neighbourhood spot that turns out a quick bargain, though! A gem
David Smith
Best deli sandwiches on Earth, and I've tried quite a number... They're huge, reasonably priced and ridiculously fast, in many years I've never been disappointed. Simply the best deli sandwiches there are.
Matthew Falber
An honest to goodness Italian sandwich shop. Perfectly cured cold cuts, sliced paper thin, stacked to the heavens on perfect old school bread. Prosciutto, provolone, three kind of salami, Roasted peppers, and hot peppers olive oil... everything! One of the things that makes Queens great is you can still find a place like this.
Bklyn Zoo
This place is a cold cut spot, maybe 2 things are hot. If you love sandwiches then got here. Always fresh, cash only.
Daynia Vazquez
Their sandwiches are phenomenal! Need to know what you're getting when you go because it's always super packed. Definitely worth getting the hero!
GermanE
Best hero spot in all NYC! At times there's long lines but they move really quickly. Make sure you know what you're going to order, they have skipped people. If I'm working in Astoria or remotely close, I'm here.
Enrique Castro
The best sandwich spot in Astoria. It will feed you for lunch and dinner. The famous thing to get is the bomb (American & Italian) meats. Only cold cuts, no hot sandwiches.
Jeremy Frazier
great staff best sandwiches in nyc
Travis Lyons
There sandwich is the best, the bomb is always my go to when I'm there
Marisa Uranovsky
Simply awesome italian deli just doing it right. Concise menu, and delicious sandwiches. Plus the prices are spot on!
If you look around this place all you will see are giant jars of hot peppers lining the walls. HINT: order something with hot peppers on it!! They are to DIE FOR!
Phillip Anthony Gornail
The Bomb is truly a #TasteExplosion in your mouth! If you're looking for #BoarsHead deli meat paired with fresh Italian bread & every known condiment you already love at a super fair price... you're in the right place! Just make sure you bring a friend to stay in the car cause parking can be a challenge at peak times (pretty much while they're open is peak time). My buddies and I live 20+ miles away but if we're within 15 minutes of the deli we won't miss a chance to get our eats from there. #BestSandwiches #LocalGem #GoodEats
Christopher Barrett
This place is awesome. The sandwiches wow that’s awesome. My favorite Italian 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 …
Bradley C
Good prices. Big subs made fast. Staff blunt yet friendly.
Lorenzo Cook
I deliver to sal Kris lettuce and tomatoes daily, I see the bread guy there daily, everything is fresh and the size and weight of the sandwich is worth the price you can't finish the whole sandwich in one session.
Me and my family love their sandwich
They use the best meat on the market poeple spend their lunch time going to the place and eat while they work this place is a habit.
Try it once your hooked.
FIRST STOP PRODUCE.
George Athanasiadis
Grew up in Astoria. Been coming here since I can remember. Always fresh cuts and bread, never disappointed. If you want the best cold sandwich in NYC, this place is it.
Gerald Edwards
Absolutely one of the best "OverSize" Hero/Submarine sandwich shops in NYC. Quick friendly service. It's hard even for me to eat the whole sandwich in one sitting but believe me I always try!!! Cash only
Mario Williams
The place was great, but my last visit was not as expected. I ordered 2 honey glazed turkey with everything heros, but when I got turkey and something like pepperoni . Large sandwiches.
Charmed Dee
There sandwiches are so good
Kathy Kothesakis
The Bomb, best sandwich ever!!!
Zero White
Best and most affordable foot long sandwich I've ever had... hands down! Get the bomb! My friends and I get a foot long before heading down to the beach every weekend during the summer.
N. Wong
The hero's here are huge! Definitely coming back for more!
GanGR33n93nyc 1
Best deli in NEW YORK
Mario Salazar
They make really good sandwiches. And they're HUGE! Definitely recommend this place for a quick bite to eat, or even if you're going to the beach, picnic, or whatever, this place is great.
yu new
Are you kidding me? That sandwich was 2 meals. I live in CA and I miss NY delis and places like this. I want to fly in and out of LGA all the time so I can swing by here.
Cash only, but their ATM doesnt charge a big service charge. Tiny place, gotta take it to go. The guys are on people so they can get in and out. I bet if you are in a rush, you could be in and out in 10 min.
Parking does suck. I parked 2 blocks away after driving around for 10 min but it was worth it.
I wish this place was in CA. I would be there everyday.
Gur Rathour
Get the BOMB. You won't regret it. Best sandwhich I ever ate. For 10.75 you get a meal which can be lunch and dinner. You can split it with a friend and can see who can open their mouth enough to get a good bite. Beware if you don't eat much. You will not be able to solo the beast.
Peter Wright
Probably the best sandwich I've had in a long time. Great price. Good value. Quality meat
Shariff Beck
Words cannot describe how Good no How Excellent the sandwiches at S.K.C deli are! All I can say is go in the smell alone can make you happy happy. So my advice to you is go have a Real sandwich !
Josh Campbell
Just go. Now.
V Hurtado
There were way too many people inside ordering, did not look like it had any covid restrictions. Also they don't have any warmed sandwiches, bummer
Walter Garff
Unbelievable value on a real sub samdwich. There are many reasons this place is closing in on 100 years.
Well worth a stop but you may never be able to go to one of those weight portioned, cheap cold cut places again
xiao hello
Always stop here before heading out to the beach to get a bunch of sandwiches. Their heros are delish. And the amount of food you get, for the price it is, is almost mind blowing. Best food ever, and completely decently priced.
I love this place. Never had a bad experience!
Please don't ever close!
luis
The Bomb is their best subs. Must have
Adam Kuban
HUGE sandwiches. Great value. Maybe not the best quality in terms of ingredients — it's just standard Boar's Head or whatever — but, damn, if you don't get a ton of sandwich for your money. The Italian bomb is the bomb.
Kosta (K)
Easily the best sandwich shop in Astoria. Get the bomb, any of their other specialty sandwiches or make your own. You will not regret eating here.
jennifer guerra
Alway a great experience the staff is nice and on the ball, and I can't say enough about the sandwiches they make and the freshness of cold cut and salad. I recommend sound Chris's for anybody looking for a great sandwich just for lunch or Heroes for a slamming party
Peter Zwolinski (Heavy P)
If you want a sandwhich that's better than your mom's, go here. The bomb sandwhich is a must have if it's your first time. Definitely get the red peppers. Also bring cash. The guys in here are very nice!
Angelo Bovis
Best sandwich place I've been to. I can't believe there is a Subway that is still in business, not too far away. If this place is a Mercedes, then Subway is a rusty tricycle with a missing front wheel.
Prince Oberoi
Been so happy moving into the area to be closer to this place. I love their sandwiches, never disappoints and bang for your buck
Rolando Santa Ana
Ahh if you like sandwiches this the go to place!! Get the BOMB which has everything on it pretty much!! They dont call them the sandwich king for nothing!! Happy eating everyone!!
tommy roma
Great sandwich I ordered the Bomb 💣 lots of meat this place is great …
Mitch Sti
I must say one of the best sandwiches u can get in a deli. I travel from the bronx to this place for there sandwiches. Taste amazing and are huge . Highly recommend them.
Edward Yoo
One of the best sandwiche shops in town. Starve yourself for a week & get yourself the Bomb hero. It's the size of your arm and it's delicious.
Jennifer piedrahita
Hand down best sandwich ever, they are massively huge, they are not stingy on the cold cuts, the bread is always fresh and excellent price. The only downside is it's a cash only place but they have an ATM machine.
Keith Brunner
Just a small hero of mass proportions with huge flavor!!
eric black
Truly the sandwich kings. No frills location that just churns out awesome, huge, cheap sandwiches.
Mischa Gresser
Find a better sandwich. I dare you.
Eric Kim
Great sandwich. The Bomb and Italian Combo are each big enough for 2. Highly recommended.
Peter Balich
I'd been wanting to to come here for about a year. Finally made it, and it did not disappoint! Parking as expected is tough. There is always a line....but after you receive your order, you'll see why!
Asier Castaño
This place makes the best sandwiches in Astoria. Delicious, where I always stop when I'm on my way to the beach or just in case I want the best sandwich.
johnny eas
Best sandwich place ever. Tasty, fresh, clean, big sandwiches, and reasonably priced. Like i said. Best sandwich place ever
Justina Vasiliauskas
Best sandwiches of astoria! I flew down from ft Lauderdale and this is my first stop! They will not disappoint. Very friendly staff. Very quick. Cash only
feroz zadran
Must go you wanna spend a solid $9 for a sandwich that will last you for lunch and dinner go ahead come here. The taste of the bread was super fresh meat super fresh great staff waiting time 3 mins letting you know the sandwich ARE HUGE!!!!
Eugenia Karydas
There is only one place to go if you want a roast beef hero: Sal's. CASH ONLY There is usually a line Order by phone and pick up is fastest way but there's NO LEGAL parking in front of store.
Spiro Kasimis
Best spot in NYC for a proper hero, Hoagie, sammy or whatever you like to call it! “The Bomb” fully is a must!
John Byron
They make big sandwiches. The sandwiches are good. Idk what else you need to hear to go here. They are the sandwich kings of astoria because all the sandwich princes and princesses died when gentrification came to Astoria.
Michael Rahaman
I don't know what makes them so special, at the end of the day, all they are doing is putting meat on some bread but their sandwiches are just sooo good. Oh year, the sandwiches are huuuge so that may have something to do with it. I usual get a hero with salsalito turkey, cheddar, lettuce, tomato and hot peppers. The peppers set the sandwiches off..
Victor A. Gallegos
Good delicios sandwishes is long is for 4 people to eat., I can't eated only me I share my sandwish and half..
peter zafonte
All I can say is WOW!! The sandwiches are huge and delicious!! A Must Visit.Ill be going back a few times!!
Asfand Khan
One of the best and most filling sub I've had in NYC yet. I got the bomb with spicy Italian and pastrami. It was absolutely delicious!
Robert Cook
Fast service the sandwich was good $$
Dr. John Koloski
I used to live in Astoria and Sal's happened to be on my walk between ditmars and the apartment for several years. Sad times were the hours they were closed and the "need" couldn't be satisfied. I don't write too many reviews… but this is the deli to compare all others against. Ive since moved out of state but I'll go out of my way to stop in Queens just to get an italian or bomb from this place on east coast trips. A true new york gem.
Justin Bromberg
Even when there are more people in here than seems reasonable at rush times it doesn't take too long to get by far the best sandwiches in all of Queens if not New York. It was cheaper in years past, but you'll be very hard pressed to complain at the generosity of the portion.
Gianluca Scattoni
Their sandwiches are the best. You can eat for two days on one sandwich. They do not skimp on the meats. You must try.
Hi Hi
This is the best sandwiches in astoria. It’s enormous and it’s so fresh
The Weekly Deals - Nelson
Sal, Kris & Charlie Deli is definitely worth a check if you have a love for hero's and cold cuts... My personal favorite outside of some of their signature greats is the chicken salad with peppers..
Yum....
Aditya Balwani
Great sandwich place, fresh ingredients and bread and they fill it up well. I can see why other people like it but any place that doesn't have Chipotle mayo is a no go for me
kelvin later
As consistent as a Rolex. No more street parking now it's all marked off so becareful your not paying for a $100 sandwich
Cyril Guichard
The biggest and best sandwiches that you'll ever have. The bread alone is fresh and crispy by itself. The amount of meats etc that comprises a sandwich is tremendous..Thank you.
Alan Wong
"The Bomb" and "The Italian" is the goto for something to bring on a road trip or a hike. I've had the pastrami from them as well and it was just as good. You will have enough to share and make someone else really happy.
Tip: The heros run large so ask them to cut it in quarters. OR... eat the whole thing yourself and enjoy the food coma.
Savvas Dimitrios Petridis
Gigantic, tasty, reasonably priced sandwiches. I had a prosciutto, mozzarella, and sweet pepper sandwich - and it was quite good! You could split it for two and be reasonably full.
Darrel Black

Amazing place. Fast service (in a line of 20 people). Delicious, affordable sandwich. The Bomb is a meat-lover’s delight.

I will travel from the depths of hell for their sandwiches! Lol whenever I travel down south I have to bring sandwiches to my family. So that just goes to show how good they are, and the staff are amazing!

U can feed a small Army with the BOMB....the sandwich must weigh at least 3 or 4 Lbs... if you get it make sure to tell them to cut it in 3 pieces. It gets too messy when it's cut in 2...The best Hero Spot in the 5 Boroughs

Love this place, sandwiches are always fresh. They even make 6 feet Hero's. If you are going to the beach this is the spot ☺️

Best sandwiches ever.
Mike Prilook
Where do they get their bread from the bread museum?..
Its always stale. Need a bread box or something better bc sandwiches could be way better w fresher soft bread.

Reviews and pictures don’t serve this place justice. For $10 you get enough food to feed a small country. Meats were all very fresh and reasonably priced.
Erick Sossa
One of the best sandwiches. Service is always on point. Hopefully they will start accepting card since right now it's only cash.

Excellent cold cuts, great bread and fantastic staff. Don't let the long line scare you away, it moves fast and is well worth the couple of mins.

Ordered up "the bomb" with the works sandwich and it's plenty large with huge portions. Had to eat one half for lunch and the other half for dinner. Combination of italian meats, salami, mortadella, ham, mozz, and chedder with a salt pepper vinegar sauce with lettuce tomato. Delish as it soaks into the bread. For me though i've had better hero breads. As this one didn't quite hold up and was a bit dry.

Every I like Heroes and you're in Astoria Sal's and Chris's is the place to be always fresh cold cuts only fresh cold cuts

Word around these parts said there was a sammy called "The Bomb." Rumor had it that it's a happy little number straight from a meat lover's shangri-la. Well, I went to S.K.C's Deli and put one of those suckers in my mouth and boy if the rumors aren't dead on. There's more meat on that thing then a Thanksgiving turkey. Imagine putting a large man's arm in your mouth. But a really good tasting arm with hot peppers and salad dressing and... I think it's time for round two... I'm going back.

THE best Italian heros in Astoria, hands down. The counter guys are artisans, crafting each sandwich with love and tons of ingredients. You won't go hungry here!

One of the best hero's in NYC. Bread is the key to this joint. It is a huge sandwich. You will not be disappointed.
Ryan Plummer
Awesome sandwiches!
Lavina Birbal
I got the bomb! These sandwiches are so big and heavy. They are definitely meant for sharing with a small village.
Daniel Heinzelman
The Bomb. Make that be the first thing you try if it's your first time. But make sure you have an appetite. Otherwise, I guess you could stow away half the sandwich for the next day.
Service is quick, and friendly.
Maria German
These guys are insane. It's a huge sandwich stuffed with everything you ask for and their finely shredded lettuce with oil and vinegar on anything is delicious. I'm ruined for regular deli sandwiches. I'm typing this and salivating thinking about one. Lol fattyIam
