Brother’s

In a word, WOW!!! This is one of those few places where you are greeted with a smile as you walk through the door. Great customer service, fresh food, and big portions. accompanied by an ultra clean environment. I had the pleasure of ordering the cugine as well as the MVP. Again I say to you WOW, chicken was tender, sauce was amazing, the bread was soft with the perfect crust. I tried my best to finish, but this big sub beat even a big eater like me. Large selection of fresh and frozen foods to choose from. Come hungry they won’t disappoint! We drove in from Long Island, well worth the trip.

Got a chance to stop by this place and wow was i amazed by everything here! I ordered the baked raviolis that they make fresh and you can tell by how delicious it was along with there homemade sauce that I could drink it it was that good! The fresh mozzarella balls were fantastic as well! I wanted to order so much more but I’ll definitely be back for sure this place is a must try definitely gotta check them out!

The heroes are great. I ordered the pink lady which was great and freshly made. The women working there were friendly and accommodating you can tell they care about their customers. If you want fresh authentic Italian heroes and are in the area you must try this place at least once. The prices are decent.

Excellent food great atmosphere. The launch prices are phenomenal.

Always fresh, delicious with a family friendly service of true New Yorkers. When you had a hard travel and just landed in JFK, this is spot to make things better for sure. Plenty of options to choose from and it won't disappoint. Call a head if your in a hurry.

UPDATE: Gotta update my review to emphasize just how good the sandwiches here are. I've had their indoorsman sandwich a couple times recently, one of the pricier sandwiches on the menu costing $24 on Uber eats. That said, it's a huge sandwich and this particular sandwich has chunks of actual steak in it. Not roast beef, actual steak. I've had this sandwich twice recently and both times that I ate it, I thought to myself that this particular sandwich might be amongst the best sandwiches that I've ever eaten in my life. I like to option it with the garlic mayo and let's just say it's one of those sandwiches that you think about the next day. I'm a fat man and even I struggle to finish the sandwiches here. This place is pricey so I wanna hate on it but truthfully, they make some really good food to justify the prices. If you live in the Howard Beach area and want a good sandwich, I don't know why you would go anywhere else. Got a Philly cheese steak here and there wasn't much cheese in the sandwich, so it felt more like a steak sandwich than an actual Philly cheese steak. That said, it tasted great for a steak sandwich, with the steak pieces being large and very tasty/juicy. The bread itself was of higher quality and the sandwich was big which felt appropriate given the high price tag ($18). Will definitely be back, just wish it wasn't cash only

Brother's is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious Italian food. Their turkey cranberry hero is a personal favorite, but their salads, wraps, and other heroes are equally impressive. The standout feature of this shop is the outstanding service and friendly staff, who make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Additionally, they offers fresh food by the pound, making it a great spot for a quick and satisfying lunch or a grab-and-go meal. One of the best things about this shop is the large-sized heroes, which provide a generous portion of meat, cheese, and toppings that are perfect for sharing or taking home for later. Overall, this spot is a fantastic option for anyone craving great subs or wraps and looking for a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

So many great food options, it was hard to choose. I went with the eggplant caprese and it didn't disappoint! The hero was big enough to have half for lunch and half for dinner. $15...such a reasonable price for a hero of that size! Also pictured is the chicken cutlet caprese.

Brothers is always a good choice. I usually order this when I'm at work. Their pasta dishes are very good and appetizers as well if I wanna a quick bite usually when I call ahead to go pick up my order service is always good. They are nice and friendly in the summertime. I usually eat out in front, the ambience is laid-back gets busy at times. A lot of people going to pick up their lunch usually a lot of airport workers. My favorite is the Brooklyn pasta ! Check it out you won't be disappointed.

Brothers Deli is the best deli in Howard Beach and all of Queens. Fresh food, great portions, and friendly service every single time. Always my go-to spot!

As a driver who frequently finds himself in the vicinity of JFK, Brothers is a solid option for a delicious bite to eat. I got their "Cugine" hero at the suggestion of the super - sweet young ladies working the counter, arancine and prosciutto bread, yaknow I wanted some stuff to take home. Everything fresh, delicious, generous portions, from a bustling updated version of an Italian deli. So many hot & cold sandwiches, entrees, etc. Don't take my word for it, visit the website and see for yourself. I'm a fan, will return. Added bonus is an old - school Italian bakery right next door.

Over priced like crazy. Food is fine but not proportionate to the prices, used to be acceptable but now prices have increased by 50% but taste, quality and service have not increased by the same amount.

Delicious sandwich. The menu is extensive. We ordered takeout. Delicious . We ordered a ton of different sandwiches. Everyone said there's was so good

Whether it's my favorite JFK Cargo, or numerous delicious specialty subs, the quality is top notch. Their fried eggplant is the best I've had. The kitchen turns out amazing food. The ladies in the front are always welcoming. Their food case makes your mouth water. Two can easily share one of their colossal heroes. Check out their Instagram, you will not be disappointed. Five stars. No, I'm not related, nor friends of theirs. Just a happy customer

The sandwiches here are huge, tasty, and definitely a once-in-a-while treat--especially with how the economy is these days. That said, $20+ for a sandwich is steep, even if it's bigger than most. I've ordered here a few times, both from work and home. They deliver their own food, which you'd assume would mean better service. But here's where I have a serious gripe: I placed a phone order and asked for the total--pretty standard, right? I was told they "can't give prices over the phone." Excuse me? What kind of policy is that? Makes zero sense. But fine, I let that go. Today, I ordered two sandwiches and a soda. When I arrived, it was semi-busy but fully staffed. One woman seemed to be handling phone and app orders. She called my name, handed me the bag, and I asked her to confirm everything was inside--mainly the soda. I didn't check the bag myself (my mistake), assuming it was correct. I got back to my car and nearly home when my friend checked the bag--only one sandwich. I immediately called the store, got placed on hold, then finally spoke with someone. I told him which sandwich was missing, and he goes, "Yeah, you can come back and get it if you want." If I want? No apology. No ownership. Just a dismissive "come get it if you want." You messed up the order, and I have to drive back for your mistake? That's not customer service. That's indifference. Disappointed.

It 10/10 perfect service and food!!!!! All around great with great ambiance and the staffs super nice!!!

This is my first time getting food from here. I ordered the cranberry turkey sub and WOW was that delicious. The staff are really nice and very helpful. They have different pasta and sauce options to cook at home. They have outside seating, which is nice for a sunny day to enjoy the breeze and people watch.

Delivery order: Fried artichoke hearts Fried zucchini Cabrini balls Rice ball Stuffed clams Stuffed peppers Manicotti The girl who took our order was so sweet, The food was off the hook good Not (1) thing was bad. An excellent delicious meal. Absolutely worth every penny!

Best Sandwiches in Queens hands down! Great food options, friendly staff, place is always clean and orders come out perfect and in a timely manner! My top sandwiches are the Hot Honey Lady, Ribeye or I building my own! 5 stars across the board!

I've been coming here for years and it's still my favorite place for a good Italian sandwich in Howard Beach. The staff is always very friendly and the food is phenomenal. My favorite is their "hot goomad" -a spicy take on an Italian combo - best thing on the menu by far!

New to this spot and already hooked--I've been here four times in the last week. I've tried a couple of their pastas, but it's the cutlet subs that keep me coming back. The cutlets are just right: not too thick or thin, and really tender. Still need to check out their steak sandwiches and appetizers. The owner's a chill guy too, which makes the place even better.

YOU WON'T LEAVE THIS PLACE UNHAPPY. Sandwiches are ginormous!! Made fresh per order! Extremely clean! So many variety to choose from. Frozen raviolis available to take home. Big cold antipasto section to choose from. Right in the heart of Howard Beach.

This place has the audacity to charge $10 for BEC on a roll. I'm all for supporting local businesses, but madoooone.

Food is tops! Genuinely great authentic food Service is friendly and efficient Ambiance is authentic A must eat!!

One of my favorite sandwich spots in New York! They treat you like family! Great take out spot!

Nick is the best! So so helpful with my HUGE order. I've been telling my work pals about this place and they all wanted to order various pastas and raviolis when I took a 45 min trip. The store is so clean and the workers I met in the store today were very friendly and I felt very welcome. After ringing up literally 19 pastas and a hero to go, Nick helped me bring everything out to my car... in the rain! When I was done paying and tried to give him a tip, he directed me to the tip jar. A kind and honest guy! I really appreciate his help and the deliciousness that pours out of this place. Thank you! (Pictured is some of the pastas and the veal parm hero which was AMAZING

Had the "Cherry Bomb" Sandwich and it was awesome! When you drive by the place and you see "BIG ASS SUBS" on the front of the store, you know they mean business. Called ahead 20 Minutes and they were ready with my order - Will definitely include pics next time.

Absolutely delicious every single time. The ladies at the front are great too. Everything is laid out nicely and super clean. They have a fridge with freshly made pasta and their menu has everything for everyone. Go check this out, you'll never go back to your old sandwich shop!

I've been wanting to check out Brother's for a while so we finally made a visit for lunch and it was delicious. We ordered 4 subs for $60: * J.F.K Cargo * The Luigi * P.A.P.D * Howard Beach (we asked if the sandwiches could be cut into 4 and they were able to accommodate for some of them!) Howard Beach was everyone's favorite. It has mozzarella sticks and meat covered in bbq sauce -- it's very messy but delicious. The JFK Cargo was our second favorite because of the fried eggplant and fried chicken cutlet. Our least favorite was the P.A.P.D. because it mainly tasted like pasta sauce and bread and there wasn't enough balsamic to cut the richness. But nonetheless we had an incredibly filling lunch that kept everyone full for the rest of afternoon. Overall service was wonderful and I'm really excited to have found a great sandwich shop nearby. I cannot wait to try out the rest of the menu.

One of the best sandwiches I've had! Wow!! This was so good. I got the cherry bomb sub but swapped the grilled chicken for fried and it is amazing!!! I already can't wait to go back to try more. Staff was also friendly and it was pretty quick.

Love this place! I've had half of the menu and can't wait to try the other half! Get the big Ang and the PAPD!

Please don't make any catering orders during holiday season here! The food is not fresh, it's sent out cold, you have the hassle to reheat, and to make matters worse, there was no accountability when these concerns were brought up. Maybe during a less busier time of the year they do better, but don't ruin your holidays.

Amazing!! Tried the PAPD which is chicken cutlet vodka sauce and burrata and it was delicious.

You will not be disappointed with anything you order from here. I have the chicken and avocado salad it was very filling. Can't wait to order again from here!

The big asss subs weren't all that big or atleast not packed in. The bread was big that about all. I have had way better sandwiches that were regular side and just as big as this one and more packed in. I bought a chicken roll and I would never buy that again for sure. It was dry, and flavorless, the sauce was good on the side.

Fantastic food! Friendly staff and great selection of fresh made products and sandwiches.

Great hero spot out in Howard Beach. Came here for the first time and had a hero damn near the size of my arm that left me in a food coma. I forgot the name of the hero but it was off the specials of the day list and had chicken cutlet, Italian cold cuts, fresh mozzarella, and balsamic glaze thrown onto a semolina. The highlight of the hero was their chicken cutlets which were some of the freshest yet thinly sliced cutlets I've had in a while. The place is spotless and all the fresh food on display looks amazing. The people woh work here are alright too! Looking forward to coming back!

Fabulous Italian take-out deli. As you wait for your order, you'll rub elbows with firefighters, cops, mobsters, and taxi drivers. Long time working class people who have tried it all; this is where they keep coming back. Try it and you might get hooked too!

Food is good. But unfortunately they wouldn't acknowledge a mistake in an order they made - packed the wrong sandwich. When I told them about it - a week later while placing another order- they kinda said "too bad". You should've brought it back. I was in Breezy point when opened the sandwich which was wrong and not about to drive back to HB. Just wanted some acknowledgment- through a small token or something in the order I was placing. No acknowledgment at all - only answer was. Too bad. Bring it back next time. There will not be a next time. Terrible customer appreciation

Nearly $16 for a sandwich. It's huge (my arm's length), packed with so much stuff, but there are not so much flavors going on. Bread is dry and stale. Chicken and eggplant cutlets aren't warm nor crispy. Overall, it just tastes like days old sub. I was kinda disappointed considering how good the food display at the store and the photos shared by some other Yelpers were. I don't think I will be coming back for their subs, unfortunately.

If I'm driving past Cross Bay Blvd on the Belt Parkway during Brothers hours of operation, odds are I'll get off the road & buy food, whether I'm hungry ir not. Their heroes are to die for! First of all, the Italian bread they make for their heroes is outrageous. Old school. Just right. And its' easily over a foot long. It doesn't matter what you order. They load you up. MY favorite is a egg, broccoli rabe, Mozzarella, & potato hero. Like dying & going to heaven. I've had grilled sausage, broccoli rabe, & mozz, & theuir Full Of Baloney hero is outrageous. Avocado, cheeses, mustards, spices, loads of baloney, tomato. All meats, vegtables, cheeses, are always fresh. Half of one of their heroes is a meal. The place is spotless. It's a family operation, run by a big, interested family. Old school, NYC Italian food & service. Rare to still find today! This is food worth going out of your way for.

Always good food and always fresh . The menu has something for everyone . The portions are huge they really do a great job and very consistent. A true neighborhood gem .

One word. Sammich! More bang for your buck and will hit the spot. Cool little spot a definite crowd pleaser. What would put them over the top is seating at the location.

We picked up takeout for dinner. The fried ravioli were a hit with everyone. I had the chicken, mozzarella, tomato, arugula, and balsamic vinaigrette hero. My fiancée had a chicken, burrata, and vodka sauce hero. Both were good. I also had the sautéed escarole with garlic which was good too. As their name suggests, they have a wide selection of raviolis including lobster and many others. They've also have a variety of prepared salads.

Don't remember what I ate here, so with that being said then the food is forgettable, when you eat a meal that unforgettable then that's a 4/5 star, Average food

Absolutely amazing sandwiches. I ordered the Burrata BLT & Drunkwich. Everything in both sandwiches was ridiculously fresh and well flavored. The BLT burrata had the perfect combo of pesto, basil, burrata, & bacon. I could not get over how fresh the burrata and basil was. This place does sandwiches right!! The portions were generous & well priced. I had wonderful experience & look forward to trying their other sandwiches.

We have been to this place a couple of times before. But this was our first in their new location. Very pretty. Ordered a P.A.P.D and it barely had the cheese and absolutely no basil. Usually they are filling, this time they were a bit pour portion wise. Compared to past times. Got a bruschetta, which was good. And I also ordered chicken vodka sauce with a side of pasta. Everything was absolutely cold. And the pasta was not mixed in with the sauce. Sauce was just over the pasta. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Sounds corny to say before you felt the love in the food for the business, but this time it was very much whatever.

I love this place. Been going here for lunch at work for about 5-6 years something like that. Never disappointed, ever. Food is always good and fresh. And place is clean. The service is excellent and fast.

OMG! What can I say, they have always had the best Italian gourmet food and catering and now they have The Brothers big ass subs witch are the best sandwich ever!!! The are alway happy to help and I just catered my last backyard party with them and it was amazing!!! The made all their sandwiches and cut them into smaller portions and we served it on platters, that was more than enough but we we still got "the big sandwich ". And they also put together the best antipasto platter I ever had. Perfect!!! My guests were amazed, and they are hardcore Italians. LOL

Wow all I can say is you will not be disappointed with ANYTHING here. Their sandwiches are the best in the area. I come over the bridge for these sandwiches, specifically the Fat Ang, MVP, and PAPD. Unbelievably delicious. They also have an excellent chicken and corn salad, the marinade is not like anything I've tasted elsewhere. The service is always friendly and the store is always clean! Thank You Brothers for bringing the best there is! Sincerely, a very loyal customer!

I was at brothers with a friend who ordered a sandwich. A guy named Mike bodyshamed my friend. He asked her if she would like a salad on the side and she said no and he said "looks like you needed one but ok" The employees are rude and stuck up teenagers who's moms made them get a job. Will never see me again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just walked out of this location after the person at the register told us that their kitchen was closing in 5 minutes despite signs throughout the restaurant stating they closed at 8pm. While I understand that sometimes kitchens close before the establishment does half hour before is a bit much. HUGE letdown. My family and I were really looking forward to trying out this place and thought a 7:20 arrival on a Saturday night was more than enough time to make a couple sandwiches.

Had the JFK cargo and it was the best sandwich i had in a while. The portion was huge! lasted a few days.

I just want to say this place have the best Ribeye sub I ever had in my life. I'm happy I tried this place. The people who were taking orders were very nice. Everyone inside were nice and polite as well, while we waited for our food to be prepared. Check this restaurant out it won't disappoint :)

Let me just say this sandwich was so good it never made its way to my home as soon as I got in my car I had to take a bite lol...The vodka sauce with the mozzarella sticks and chicken cutlet and bacon omg chefs kiss... Definitely one for the books. The service is really good as well.. I'm never waiting long and there is always a warm welcome when I'm come to order

When you walk into Brothers, you know you're in the heart and soul of Howard Beach. You won't find better service in the neighborhood. I consider myself a regular as I'm in there grabbing lunch before work at least twice a week. The food always hits the spot, whether you were there the day before, or if it's been a year, it's consistently phenomenal. I've been to Michelin star restaurants, and still haven't had a better meal than brothers. Even moving out of the neighborhood, I plan to come here regularly. My go to is the JFK Cargo, but everything I've tried has been great! I encourage anybody coming through the neighborhood to check out this spot!

Great sandwiches ! The response and wait time are decent. They just overcook the steak ! I'll give them one more try.
