Our Story

The Sandwich King

An Astoria Legend Since 1940

Two men behind the deli counter years ago, shelves stocked behind them

Located right near the Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard station at 33-12 23rd Avenue, our kitchen has been serving the Queens community for generations. Established in 1940 and proudly run by the Gordon family, we’ve built a legacy on piled-high, legendary cold cuts.

No shortcuts, no skimping on quality. Just the massive, freshly made heroes that earned us the title of The Sandwich King of Astoria. This isn’t just a quick bite; this is a true New York deli tradition welcoming you to the counter.

Went to Sal, Kris & Charlie’s Deli twice, and that says everything. The sandwiches are absolutely worth the hype: huge portions, packed with fresh ingredients, and full of flavor. Every bite feels generous and satisfying. The bread is great, the meats are stacked high, and everything tastes made with care. Classic old-school deli energy with fast, friendly service. If you’re hungry and want one of the best sandwiches in NYC, this spot delivers every time.

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.
