This is one of my favorite delis in the neighborhood for sure. The staff here is always friendly and kind. You can tell its a very popular place because there is always a flow of people in this place from opening to close. The food is delicious and fresh! You can tell that cleanliness is important here, which honestly who doesn't appreciate that?
The delis has so many options that first timers may feel overwhelmed..in a good way of course. There is a buffet style set up for hot foods during the week. This is my favorite part because their options are plenty. There is usually a fish, chicken, and meat version with an array of side choices. And the deli does NOT skimp on portion sizes. The hot buffet deal is a meat and two sides for 8 bucks. I think its a good bargain especially considering that they pack on the sides for you. Want some grilled onions to goon top of your grilled steak? No problems, they will whip up whatever is not already out as an option. My favorite is the salmon, its a must try!
Next is the salad section, which is "Oh My Gosh, why are there so many yummy choices to go in my salad?" lol. They have everything to boiled eggs to chick peas to broccoli stems. And everything for the salads look absolutely fresh and crisp. They also make great sandwiches, whether you're going for your own creation or trying one of their gourmet deli sandwiches, you will not be disappointed! Again, they're suing fresh product and piling on the food.
The deli has seating in the back which is awesome, because you don't always want to take your food to go. Its great for the Yankee fans as well. Living in the area, the streets are always flooded when they Yankees are playing and so it this place. The food is fresh and tastes good, consistently. There's so many options in this place, whether you want food, something to drink, muffins or just some chips, you will find it here.
Oh wait, they also take debit/credit card! Such a rare find in the Bronx sometimes, I was so surprised when they said yes to my card. I'm sure there is a minimum but I usually go in for the hot buffet deal so its been fine so far.
Check this place out!
Because you can in fact take food and non-alcholic, non-glass bottled drinks into Yankee stadium, it's important to have a go-to deli in the area for cheap grub. This is my place. I don't think it's really called the "Banana Deli," Rather the "Stop Deli", but whatever. Just look for 66 E 161st st, and the sign that ironically reads "Bahston Subs."
It's just a great classic deli. A huge drink case with perhaps 100 different beverage options, a nice specialty sandwich menu, a very large hot bar, and of course, great made-to-order sandwiches. They slice the cold cuts fresh, do it up with whatever toppings you want (even avocado!), and wrap it up quick to go.
Unlike most of the hellishly busy places around Yankee Stadium, you can get in and out of here in five minutes, do it for minimal money, then head on in to see the game.
