Sal, Kris, & Charlie's Deli - Astoria's Sandwich Gem

In my opinion, this place serves the best sandwich around, packed with high-quality ingredients from top to bottom. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff works quickly and efficiently to get your order out. They genuinely seem happy, which makes the whole experience even better. The sandwiches are loaded with meat and built to impress. For $15, “The Bomb” truly lives up to its name—it’s one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. It’s so massive that I can barely finish it in one day. I usually eat half in the morning and save the other half for later in the evening.

Cash only and not much parking, but 100% worth it. You have to go with The Bomb!! It is HUMONGOUS!! Fresh ingredients, perfect balance of cold cuts, sauce, spicy peppers, and bread. It’s messy, overstuffed, and incredibly satisfying. Come hungry

I’m usually not a cold-cut sandwich person, but I decided to try “The Bomb” — and I’m glad I did. It’s stacked with lettuce, onions, two cheeses, and what feels like 13 different meats, finished with mustard and mayo. The meats tasted premium and well-balanced, not overly salty or processed like you sometimes get with overloaded sandwiches. The bread wasn’t toasted, but you can see a mountain of fresh bread as soon as you walk in, which says a lot about turnover and freshness.The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the portion size was serious — this sandwich easily feeds two people.It cost $21 cash, and honestly for the size and quality, it felt worth it.Definitely recommend.

My first time here and i have to say this is Hands down the best hero sandwich I have ever had, this thing is massive!! You need 2 hands to take it out the bag. Not sure how much it weighs but its a heavy sandwich. We got the bomb and it was the BOMB!!!! Everything they put in the sandwich paired together perfectly and nothing was over powering. I will be back again!

I finally tried Kris & Charlie’s Deli and went straight for their legendary “Bomb” sandwich — and now I get the hype. First off, this thing is MASSIVE. At around $21, it honestly feeds a family. It’s stacked with layers of meats, toppings, and flavor in every bite. I’m usually not even a big cold cut sandwich guy, but this completely changed my mind. It’s a very busy spot (for good reason), but the quality speaks for itself. If you go, the top two sandwiches to order are The Bomb and The Italian Combo — both absolute heavy hitters. Bring your appetite. You’ll need it.

Sal, Kris & Charlie’s Deli “The True Sandwich King” I was on the hunt for a great deli and stumbled into Sal, Kris & Charlie’s and let me just say, this place lives up to the hype. If your hungry , It’s everything you want in a classic New York deli and more. The sandwiches are massive seriously, one could feed two hungry guys or four lighter eaters easily. So many combos to choose from, but I went with the “Italian Combo” and their signature “Da Bomb” sandwich. Both were packed with flavor, piled high with cold cuts, and built perfectly from top to bottom. The bread was spot on crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and held everything together like a champ. I added sweet and hot peppers, plus a little vinegar , salt, and pepper, and it all came together to make a perfectly balanced, flavor packed sandwich. The service was fast and efficient, even with a line, and the vibe was exactly what you’d want from an old-school Queens deli. This place isn’t just good it’s the Sandwich King, no question. If you’re in the area and even slightly hungry, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won’t leave disappointed.

Small mom/pop shop. Always a stop on our (fam of 5) weekend trip to NYC. Bought subs (italian and the bomb-fully loaded) to eat at the Giants vs. Chargers game for the next day and omg it was so good! The staff was very nice. They answered questions (for the other customers) and they had so much patience (menu was very straight foward), lol. Also, fresh mozzarella was yummy and I ate it by itself as I walked the city. Don't forget cash only! We'll be back next year!

I have seen the sandwiches here and they look awesome. The bomb sandwich is the thing to order so I went for it. It is loaded with everything. Very messy but wow does the sandwich come together. It has everything… too many ingredients to name. Loved it. The bread also stood out as excellent. I would come back to order it again but make sure you bring your appetite.
