Nestled in the heart of Setauket-East Setauket, Se-port Delicatessen stands as a beloved local gem serving up a mouthwatering array of deli classics and hearty sandwiches that have captured the hearts — and appetites — of the community for years. This family-owned deli-restaurant is a destination for anyone craving robust flavors and generous portions crafted with care and genuine dedication.

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere where attentive staff members make you feel like part of the Se-port family. The menu brims with tempting choices, each more inviting than the last. Perhaps you’ll start with the legendary Wisam Sandwich, a local favorite boasting a harmonious blend of fresh, stacked ingredients. Or dive into the savory comfort of the Chicken Club Sandwich layered with crisp bacon and melted cheese, designed to satisfy every craving.

Sandwich lovers rave about the creative specials, like The Boone — a hot chicken cutlet smothered in melted American cheese and bacon, kissed with Russian dressing — or the Black Forrest, featuring honey-glazed ham, Swiss cheese, and cole slaw nestled on pumpernickel bread. The hearty Classic Italian Sub and the robust Roast Beef and Mozzarella are also must-tries, each bite exploding with traditional deli goodness and fresh, bold flavors.

But the culinary journey doesn’t stop at sandwiches. For a perfect sidekick, the Napoli Macaroni Salad refreshes your palate with its creamy tang, while the uniquely addictive Waffle Sweet Potato Fries, served with honey mustard dressing, offer a crisp, sweet, and savory balance that’s nothing short of addictive.

Dessert lovers are equally spoiled here: the jumbo cookies — from chocolate chip to peanut butter cup and vibrant M&M variations — melt in your mouth like little bites of nostalgia. The decadent Oreo Cookie Cake and moist Carrot Cake round off your meal beautifully. Even pudding lovers won’t be disappointed, with rich vanilla and chocolate puddings providing a silky finish to your feast.

Customer reviews consistently highlight the massive portions and spectacular sandwiches that keep patrons returning time and again. Keith Seidel praises the friendly, attentive staff and the welcoming vibe, emphasizing the dedication to their community. Erin Grey’s glowing recommendation of the Chipotle Chicken Salad speaks volumes about the inventive flavors that Se-port consistently delivers — a deft combination of light breaded chicken cutlet, smoky bacon, and chipotle mayo creating an irresistible, crave-worthy experience.

While some caution about the shared fryer impacting the flavor of fried sides, the overall sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive. Sandwiches like the “Steven Matz” with its melted jack and cheddar cheeses, crispy bacon, and fresh toppings continue to astonish customers with their generous build and satisfying depth of flavor.

From savory sandwiches piled high to comforting homemade soups and salads, Se-port Delicatessen is a treasure trove of elevated deli fare.
