John's Famous Deli

COME TO BROOKLYN... EVERYTHING ON THAT GARBAGE ISLAND IS A KNOCKOFF... SUBBBBWAAAAYYYY

Good food. I should really start going to this place more often. Just needs a refresh on the inside.

Was really looking forward to trying their famous shrimp parm and roast beef sandwich, but was unfortunately quite disappointed and underwhelmed. The shrimp parm was quite flavorless and nothing special at all, which is definitely not worth the $10+ for the roll. The roast beef was just okay, with the highlight being the generous thick slice of cheese; the hero would've been even more delicious if they were a bit more generous with the onions. The gravy was a tad bit too sweet, which can be easily fixed by just increasing its saltiness. Overall, spent around 28 bucks for two mediocre sandwiches, which was unfortunate for it had so much potential. The ambiance is just meh, with the dining area appearing a bit unclean and not really that welcoming. Service was okay as well. Thanks for reading and good luck! (:

I’ve been going to John’s since I was kid. To the original one on Stilwell Ave in bklyn. Still the best roast beef sandwich in he city
