101 Deli - Rockaway Park

Since I'm originally from Rockaway Beach, NYC (Far Rock), I've been occasionally getting my fix from this landmark eatery for a very long time. If you're ever on the peninsula, I suggest you stop on in to tend to your growling tummy, my unknown friend ???!

This is a fantastic beach spot for a variety of sandwiches and snacks. The atmosphere is spacious and well-maintained, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend it if you're visiting the Rockaways!

I ordered a standard turkey hero, but it was unexpectedly soggy and wet. The bread was practically mushy, and the snack choices were quite limited. Additionally, my friend had a chicken cutlet that was dry and tasted like it had been frozen, lacking freshness as if it had been sitting out all day.

101 deli is a staple in the Rockaway peninsula. The heros are nice and big and very tasty. The grill cheese is top notch.

I usually avoid buying lunches in this area because there aren’t any halal food options. Previously, I stopped by 101 Deli and ended up getting a ginger ale or something similar. Today, I decided to casually check out what options I could find for lunch. I looked over the menu carefully and considered getting a salad but ultimately opted for a breakfast item instead: a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with scrambled eggs. The bagel was quite good, and the salad (Veggies in Season) suited my taste perfectly, so I was pleased with that. However, the mixed olives were excessively salty, so I had to pick them out. The broccoli and the seasonal mix of veggies were delicious as well.
