Salty Lunch Lady's Little Luncheonette 565 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

"I’ve heard lots about Salty Lunch Lady since coming to the area, I didn’t except the counter area to be so nicely spaced out with room for a Creams*cle Layer Cake slice, drip cup of Williamsburg’s roasted Young Coffee, and a Squash Me sandwich which was nicely balanced savory and sweet from the squash and cheese, on a ciabatta bun sourced from Balthazar. Other bread sources include Sullivan St. Bakery and a gluten free vendor. I felt lucky there was time to speak with founder and chef Dria Atencio who came out briefly. It was great to speak with her and hear some of what they have planned coming up like expanding their grocery section. Dria highlighted some chili crisp from a local maker recently stocked. The dining experience was super delightful with unique plates served to every customer, and hanging lamps sourced from apparently Yugoslavia countries. Even the wooden stool had some hand painted fruit flares and design. All service is counter so be sure to hear your name called from the kitchen. I need to come back for the Pandan Coconut Cream Pie, which you can preorder among everything else, form their website."

"It’s not often that you can get a great lunch AND a beautiful slice of cake at the same restaurant but SLLL has done it. I got the mortadella sandwich and the bread was nicely warmed and crispy to match the tender meat and curly escarole. The coconut funfetti cake was equally cute and delicious. I bake a lot and a great slice of cake is hard to come by. Service was courteous and kind, and the spot is everything you want it to be and nothing else—tin details and pastel colors galore. Overall mood boost maximally achieved."

"The best tasting sandwiches ever I always try something new and even if it’s something i don’t normally enjoy they always find a way to make it delicious. Huge fan of the chicky! Also never seen tall cans of diet coke like that. Wonderful atmosphere with great food to match. I bring all my friends here"

"sooo good she’s so creative and i always look forward to what she’s going to make i love that the menu is rotating. I got the breakfast special and it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time - she really thinks through all the details"

"I LOVE THESE SANDWICHES! Every time I come here i'm greeted by friendly staff and have the most delicious food. Today I tried the "Dill Party" sandwich and loved all of the diverse flavors! I cannot leave without getting a slice of cake, as the dessert menu changes daily. The portion sizes here are always on point. It's really nice to see this space utilized after being vacant over the last few years!"
