We thought we knew New York City delis, but then we stepped into Rockaway Gourmet Deli in East New York. This place is an absolute game-changer. They aren\u2019t just making sandwiches; they are creating masterpieces that will blow your mind. From breakfast to dinner, and even dessert, they are going all out. We are talking insane flavor combinations, massive portions, and some of the best food we have ever tasted in a deli. Get ready, because you are going to want to devour everything.<\/p>\n
Waffles Like You Have Never Seen Before<\/p>\n
We kicked things off with their Oreo waffle fried chicken tenders. This is a perfect Belgian waffle packed with crushed Oreos and drizzled with chocolate and white chocolate sauce. Then, they pile on their hand-breaded, crispy fried chicken tenders. A final drizzle of maple syrup and you are in for a serious treat. It is the ultimate sweet and savory combination.<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019re a cereal lover, you have to try the Fruity Pebble Belgian waffle. It\u2019s slathered in white chocolate sauce and topped with more Fruity Pebbles and those incredible chicken tenders. It\u2019s colorful, it\u2019s crunchy, and it is pure perfection.<\/p>\n
The Viral Chopped Cheese Doritos<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve probably seen these all over social media, and let us tell you, they live up to the hype. They take Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese Doritos and load them up with tomatoes, guac, and chopped beef. But they don\u2019t stop there. They add plenty of melted cheese, peppers, and onions, plus a drizzle of sour cream and chipotle sauce. The result? Incredible. The crunch from the chips combined with the savory beef and creamy sauces is unreal.<\/p>\n
Omelettes and Platters That Pack a Punch<\/p>\n
Hamood, the owner, told us we had to try the Big Steak Omelette, and he was not kidding. It is stuffed with a crispy hash brown and chopped steak, then topped with tomatoes, onions, peppers, and a healthy amount of melted cheese. We could devour this for breakfast every single day.<\/p>\n
If you are looking for a hearty lunch, the chicken and shrimp over rice halal platter is a must. Drenched in white sauce and hot sauce, the flavors are so good they\u2019ll have you coming back for more.<\/p>\n
The Grand Finale: Sandwiches and Shakes<\/p>\n
We couldn\u2019t leave without trying their specialty sandwiches. The Cheesy Jerk Chicken Wrap is slathered in chipotle sauce and their signature jerk sauce. And that cross-section? Yes, please. We also loved the Buffalo Chicken Coco Bread Sando, which features toasted coco bread, white sauce, lettuce, tomato, and cheesy buffalo chicken.<\/p>\n
But the real showstopper was the Wagyu Ribeye Cheese Steak. Served on a beautifully toasted roll with all the fixings, it is the most elite cheese steak we have ever had at a deli. To wash it all down, we grabbed a Fruity Pebble milkshake. It is creamy, sweet, and the perfect ending to an epic meal.<\/p>\n
