MJ's Sawgrass Deli — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

There are SO MANY delis here in NY and on LI! This one is right around the corner from my hotel, and it was a worthy stop. As always, I tried the egg salad first. The bread choices were somewhat limited; I chose whole wheat, which was OK. The egg salad itself was a little soggy and homogenous in texture and color--it was hard to tell what it was just by looking at it or eating it. The sandwich worked well as an ensemble, though, and was satisfying in the end. I came in close to closing, and that may have affected the egg salad quality.

The lady behind the counter was a gem: very friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the place just based on that interaction. I think I'll go back and try one of their hot...

Average food and poor service. The woman at the counter is grumpy and compliments herself by being rude. I asked for one of their specialty sandwiches, she rushed through the order. I could understand if they were busy at the time with customers waiting behind me. But that was not the case. When I got the sandwich I told her of the mistake that was made. She responded by telling me I had not asked for that (I clearly did) Note for next time: Take the sandwich back without an attitude and accept a mistake was made. Poor Service....

Super friendly crew! I've frequented this deli until today. I've gotten the occasional screw up with skin being left on avocado and things like that, which ain't too big a deal, everyone's human, but nobody wears masks in the place. That's right, you anti-mask plague rats, it seems like Sawgrass is proudly a safe space for you. The workers wear masks, sure... below their faces. Maybe I'll go back when this ain't an issue, but until then, I don't feel like having people mouth...
