I FINALLY made it and honestly I was NOT disappointed! This was THE most magical beef patty with coco bread bc of the fillings! The only critique I'd like to share is that the fillings are packed only on 1 side. Kinda like when a sandwich only has the filling on 1 side and you're left with bread on the rest... The taste however, DELICIOUS!I'd give the mac n cheese and oxtail beef patty with coco bread a solid 4. INCREDIBLY FLAVORFUL !!!I've seen it advertised as a stuffed patty... for $16 it wasn't very stuffed at all. Perhaps it was a scoop of mac n cheese and a half scoop of oxtail I didn't pay attention to its construction, can only verify upon my destruction The service was 5/5 - the lady at the counter was very nice and helpful The ambiance was a corner store just like the name says. Drink and snack selection 4.5/5 because there were def. some uncommon items you don't usually see in delis. I also bought a shot of juice, good stuff! Overall 2 thumbs up and I am def. returning to try a plate of food!

Im glad to support a family-owned Guyanese business with a friendly staff and amazing food. The social media hype is real, and you should come experience the food for yourself.I ordered the mac patty which is a beef patty with oxtail and mac and cheese in it wrapped in coco bread, its an incredible combination of flavors thats delicious and filling. I highly recommend you trying it for yourself as the food and experience has been great every time.

After hearing the hype, my husband and I stopped by while in the area. I tried the oxtail with the beef patty, mac, and coco bread, while he had the jerk chicken combo with the same sides. WOW! the food was incredibly flavorful! The jerk chicken was the standout with its bold, delicious flavor. The oxtail was tasty but a bit salty, likely because it clashed slightly with the mac's flavor. The coco bread was soft, and the beef patty had a perfect crisp.The restaurant had a unique exterior sign, but the interior was minimal. I wish there had been more drink and snack options as many were sold out. The service was quick our food was ready in under 15 minutes, even with a line forming.Overall, I'd definitely return for the jerk chicken combo and to support a great small business!

I've been here about 3 times and the food never disappoints. My go to is either the Mac patty with oxtail or Mac patty with shrimp curry . Josh and Chris are always super friendly and provide good service. Please bring back the homemade pine tart and cheese roll!! They were flaky & delicious :) ambiance- it's a deli- there are a few chairs outside to sit. Tip: waiting time is a bit steep if it's busy, we waited around 15-20 minutes last time for four Mac patties.

I found this place on TikTok and thank God I did because this place SLAPS. It seems unassuming as a corner shop but inside is all good vibes. It was already a bit busy despite it being a late and rainy weekday night, but the guys reassured us they would get to us soon. We got the Jerk DatMacPatty and the chicken curry patty with rice. (I think there's some more options with the patties in person than online!) It was my first time getting a patty inside bread, but my friends always tell me this is theee way to eat a patty. Both were sooo delicious and very filling. It comes all the best Caribbean flavors into one jam-packed patty sandwich. We also got an extra side of mac which is honestly to die for. This place definitely lives up to the hype! Please check it out for yourselves!

Who hasn't seen the viral video from Datz Deli, that's why I had to go. The space is small and is takeout only, but parking in the area was easy.Walking in we were greeted warmly and of course had to order the viral Beef patty stuffed with mac & cheese and oxtail sandwich. We also opt'd for a smaller cod sandwich and some maduros. The woman behind the counter was just lovely and helped us with our menu selections.The cod sandwich was a bit salty, but what's to be expected with salt cod. However pairing it with the maduros balanced with all out and it was so good.On to the reason why we were there, the stuffed beef patty sandwich. It is definitely a filling sandwich and I was glad we decided to share it. It was a good sandwich, I'm not sure it was as crave-able as I was thinking it would be, but I definitely enjoyed it and happy I got to experience it.

Videos of this place kept popping up on my Tik Tok feed , I was passing by and decided to see what the hype was about. There was a short line about 8 people ahead when we arrived and it's a small space. We were warmly greeted and told the lady we were not ready to order yet. She let us know she's available to answer any questions if needed. A few signs on the walls explained how to order the stuffed patties . I'm honestly not a fan of carb on carb stuffing in my beef patties and was relieved to see that they also offered plate style ( without the patty) . My kids however were there for that stuffed patty and were not changing their minds. Once we ordered we waited close to 30 minutes for our food. I noticed only 1 guy and the cashier were on staff and were working as fast as they could. The lady was so calm and her demeanor seemed to spread to the waiting customers, no one seemed bothered by the wait. It was nice to see people being normal and patient, it also seemed like they all knew this was the pace and the wait was worth it. I looked around the deli , they have a selection of packaged Asian snacks , unique flavors of Lay's, Oreos, skittles and other candies ,chips,soups etc. Aside from the patties and plates I don't know if they also serve any other regular deli options. Everyone was there for the patties. Finally Sharon ( I think that's her name ) said our order was ready, she apologized for the wait but by that time my kids were so busy picking out snacks I didn't even notice it was half an hour . The mellow atmosphere had grown on us lol. She double checked our orders, offered us cups of ice for our drinks and told us that there are a few tables outside if we chose to sit. She was so nice ,like mama making sure her kids didn't forget their lunch. I got the rice and peas , mac and cheese and jerk chicken plate. Wow, flavor bombs set off. The rice is heavily seasoned , so good you can literally have it alone and have a satisfying feeling of a meal. Deep browning flavors, cinnamon sticks and definitely meat stock flavors and some hot spices too. The Mac and Cheese was good, it wouldn't be something I'd order on it's own but tje creaminess definitely helped with the spiciness of the overall plate. The jerk chicken is boneless thigh. It was a bit salty but lots of good jerk flavor, I could tell it was made in the oven and not on a grill because it lacked that notable smoky component associated with jerk. I wasn't upset , it's a deli not a jerk barbecue spot. My kids devoured the patties , as I said before I'm not into the stuffed arrangement but the components of the plate are exactly what they use to stuff the patty and those each tasted delicious . They got the oxtail and mac and cheese stuffing. My kids liked that the patty was so neatly put together that it was easy to eat without stuff falling out all over. If you love big flavors and Caribbean food then give Datz a try. Don't expect frills and fancy decor and if you're impatient don't go over there yelling at the nice people. It's not the vibe. The LIRR to Heamstead ( Hollis Ave stop ) is across the street. I saw a bus stop sign next to the deli but it didn't show was bus line it was.

Words cannot describe how delicious these sandwiches are. I would argue that I should've came to this place much sooner while taking the first bite of the oxtail. I couldn't understand how something so delicious could exist. And the sweet plantain on it was a cherry on top. I also tried the chicken and it was really delicious however very spicy so please be careful if I had to pick between two of them. I would say that the oxtail was by far the most delicious but both were equally up there when I got there because I got there around 9 o'clock so perhaps go late at night, but truly, I've been trying to go to this place for over a year and I'm very upset. I haven't checked it out any sooner glad I've discovered it.
