Speedy’s

I’d give it 4 stars if it wasn’t so overpriced for what they’re selling and if the cashier was a bit friendlier.
The food is pretty good for what it is (which is a salad bar/​hot food bar/​sandwiches). We got the chicken noodle soup, a few hot dish options, and a salad. Again, all the food was pretty good, but all of that (soup and a split single plate of salad and hot food) with a soda was $ 24. The plate wasn’t even filled ($ 9.99 per pound, I think?). Honestly though, it was the cashier that got to me– she threw my soda on the counter after knocking it over, causing it to explode later when I opened it. She was also rude when I went to the counter to pay. I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t come back, but there are things they can work on.

ZER0 *stars
I was walking by this yesterday, Tuesday the 19^th & I started to look @their menu in the window from outside And ALL OF A SUDDEN *I see A cock-​ROACH* walking down the window ON THE INSIDE OF THE STORE! — NOT –on the outside of the store window — the INSIDE!!! —
I went inside & told the manager politely and quietly, she said «thanks» and that was it. I walked out & will never even glance @this place again!
MIND YOU, in the window was also a sign saying «A» for their grade! Of «cleanliness»??? You got to be kidding me!

Great place to kill time!
They open 24h with wifi connection without needs of password ;) upstairs was clean and no sketchy people!
Food was not bad as a pre-​maid. I had salmon, rice and salad. All the veges were fresh. Ordered ginger lemon tea cuz I am still sick and cashier was kind enough to give me slice of lemons and honey!
I took off one star because I think they do not have washroom. I could be wrong but I couldn’t find it. I think if you have certain numbers of seats, you have to provide washrooms… No?

Great place for a lunch during work… quick and easy with fast delivery or an upstairs place to sit to escape the office. Recommend people

Well, a good place to get some quick food. Prices are around 8 or 9 bucks for burgers and sandwiches. It is convenient for me when it is raining.

This place is good for takeout. They have a selection of desserts and sandwiches/​wraps. But me and my girlfriend stopped by for some soup and some other hot food. They had a salad bar and hot food bar. We had the cream of broccoli soup 8.00 for 16 oz. It was so watered down and was not worth it. We also had the hot buffet food for $ 9.95 per pound. We had the roast chicken, broccoli, salmon, mashed potatoes, and chicken fingers. The hot food was actually not bad and satisfied our taste buds. I think the wraps and sandwiches would be a good choice here expecially since they make hot orders. However, I do question their cleanliness/​hygiene.

Veary good place for lunch all salads are super fresh and there alot of choice, fast service in and out also nice top floor to eat, price are little high but still worth it.

Don’t even think about going here. Lots of people getting food poisoning, and the place is just filthy. The cooks are very sloppy and prepare spoiled or uncooked food. Horrible customer service all around.
Never coming back here again, customers beware.

Speedy has an amazing selection of sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups etc. they also have buffets with every breakfast/​lunch food you could dream of. I love the selection and the «speed» of ordering and receiving.

i love speedy’s the food are amazing delicious and the workers are so friendly.

I’ve only gotten breakfast delivered from this place, but I have loved it every single time. The food is amazing, the bread is everything you want in bread, and the fruits and veggies are so fresh you would think they are growing it in the kitchen. They offer tomatoes instead of potatoes with the breakfast platters — I wish every place did that — and the tomatoes are juicy and almost as good as the ones my Dad grows in his backyard. The portions aren’t skimpy either; I usually have enough leftover for lunch, too. And the coffee!!! No matter what I’ve ordered, latte, iced coffee, macchiato, it is perfect every time. Delivery for breakfast is pretty fast too. I use Grub Hub and the food is at my desk in 30 minutes.

First time here and it’s s pretty decent place, a little steep pricing for the food but I’m pretty sure the shoppers in the area can afford. I had a turkey egg and cheese on a roll. Really good. The coffee is okay. I also get a discount for working in the area. I will be back

Standard NYC deli with made-​to-​order and also pre-​made sandwiches and salads and also a hot and cold buffet, plus their breakfast items. However, compared to other delis in the area, Speedys is pretty tiny, so I don’t find their selection that extensive, especially their buffet. Also, the biggest downer, they are way overpriced. For example, I can get a just as good omelet at another nearby deli for almost half the price as Speedy’s’. The food is decent, but not worth the money.

Got my order covered in Chai. Bag was soaked through and every container had also gotten soaked from the spill. Called them to let them know and they said they would resend and be sure to cover chai.
Got order (at this point waiting for 2.5 hours for food) and literally poured the Chai out of my bag in front of my co-​workers.
NEVER AGAIN

Awful, expensive, not worth it.
Don’t bother with this place it is incredibly over priced, their salad bar looks gross, the can’t even cook an egg without making it taste like paper, stale rolls. Just don’t do it.

I had stories in this deli. Memories~. I work in the building right across the street, close n fast to get lunch. Def not cheap but with many choices. Food looks n tastes fresh and ok, but really over priced.

Wer keine Lust mehr auf Fastfood hat, findet im Speedy’s eine gute Alternative. Man kann sich ausgewogen ernähren. Es gibt Hähnchen, Reis, Kartoffeln, Salat, Kuchen und der Kaffee schmeckt auch sehr gut. In der «Grünen Oase» direkt gegenüber kann man sich dann mit dem Essen ein bisschen von der Großstadt «erholen». ;)
PS: Falls ihr an einem kleinen Wagen vorbei kommt, an dem frisch geschnittenes Obst verkauft wird (meistens von einer Frau) kauft es auf jeden Fall. Es kostet nur 3 $ und schmeckt super lecker!!! Den Wagen habe ich bei unserem New York Besuch in Richtung Flatiron Building entdeckt.

The food here is always fresh and well seasoned. It’s the perfect lunch spot in the city, and it is open 24hrs. It is a bit pricey, but the food is worth it. No complaints here!

This was my go-​to lunch spot during my summer in New York because it was fast and convenient. I always get the buffet style pay-​by-​weight food, which is pretty good. It a little expensive ($ 9.95 per pound) but most of food is fresh and pretty well made. They usually have a good selection of interesting salads in the middle section, and there’s a decent selection for the make-​your-​own salad section. The chicken in any of their pre-​made buffet salads is always overcooked and dry, unfortunately, but the broiled salmon in the hot food section is really good.

Good place, lots of vegetables from the buffet: do it yourself mixed salad as you want and pay by weight. I got what I wanted for around 10 $

Tried their frozen yogurt while waiting for the bus… well, it is Okay… that’s all…

I am the kind person who never leaves a bad review, even if the service is really bad. I understand places have off-​days. Speedy’s is a go-​to because are close to my office — not because they’re particularly good or anything. The coffee and food are okay, even if everything is very overpriced.
Today is the day I stop going. The cashier argued with me for about six minutes because she poured me a hot coffee when I asked for an iced coffee. This is a non-​issue, because anyone else would correct the mistake by pouring you a new coffee and charging you the difference. However, this cashier decided just to argue with me saying that I asked for a regular coffee because there is no way in the world that she may have misheard me.
I didn’t mis-​speak, but even if I did — who cares? I don’t want it. Pour me a new one, and I will give you more money. Transaction ended. Or just give me a cup of ice for God’s sake!
Instead, she continued to argue that I didn’t say «iced», shoved the receipt in my face because that’s factual evidence that I was wrong because obviously *I* typed «hot coffee» into the register, and she refused to make me a new one.
I was so mad and hate this kind of confrontation, I so I told her to keep her coffee and walked out without even getting a refund. I couldn’t even open that can of worms, oh lord.
Moral of the story: I hated that I went to Speedy’s to begin with since it’s a waste of money, but now I have a definitive reason to not go there any more. This kind of drama over the sale of coffee?
F this place.

The food quality is awesome. Not the average low level food buffet with medico are items. Premium meat such as beef and salmon are seen in the menu. Given this, the price is fairly reasonable.

So sad I no longer work right up the block from them. The breakfast sandwiches are the best in the area. I order variations of the same thing every time and the guy always asks «pepper on the eggs… right??» It’s really cool considering they are taking tons of orders daily. In the year that I’ve been ordering here I’ve had one complaint and it was fixed quickly.
As skeevy as buffets are and as much as I try to resist them Speedys always has some interesting options that I can’t resist trying. Cauliflower in a red sauce (who knew!!). It’s not the biggest place and it gets really crowded during peak breakfast and lunch hours. Those are the best times to know exactly what you want and just call for delivery. Delivery is speedy (pun intended)
I’ve come here after some pretty late happy hour binges and ordered the Grilled Cheese with bacon and tomato deluxe with cheddar cheese of course. The simplest meal but sooooooo good!!! Truly my weakness at Speedy’s.

Speedy’s has an excellent cold buffet. I’ve been to some really shitty deli buffets that charge the same amount for inferior quality (financial district, midtown east, I’m talking to yall). That doesn’t mean it’s cheap. It’s freaking $ 10/​lb.
Every visit, their cold food /​salad bar is fresh (trays just put out) with simple and clean options. I always get the honey mustard chicken and their garlic bread (aka, giant croûton). Their pesto chickpea, bean salad, pesto pasta, Mediterranean salad, etc have always tasted light and clean to me.
There are certainly cheaper options in then area, but I keep ending up disappointed or regretful. If you’re particular about what goes in your mouth, and lean towards the «less salty» side, this spot consistently delivers.

There’s are so many buffets around new york. You kinda know by the location that its going to be pricey, but you would think they would keep the buffet a little fresher because of its location too. They have commuter coming by all day so why not yak the time to freshen up the salmon? Make sure the lettuce isnt wilting? The chicken hasn’t completely dried out under the heat lamps? No one likes wilty, dry, old food.
Their salads also seem DRENCHED in dressing. Its kinda overkill. If they just kept the staples — simple grilled chicken, tuna, fresh veggies, etc — then it wouldn’t be half bad, but for the price i wish they would rotate the food more.

Speedy’s is your typical, mediocre, meh midtown deli. I came here with my friend (and fellow Unilocal Eliter) Danielle P. for late night munchies after we attended a digital media/​tech networking event.
It was snowing when we went in and thus my scarf was covered in snow flurries which I was shaking off (shake it off! shake it off!) with my hands — upon entering a man came up to me to «help» me get the snow off of me, he basically touched my coat right where my breasts were. I hit his hand, used an expletive and gave him a look that if I was on American Horror Story Coven would have turned hi into a bonfire right then and there.
So my friend and I each ordered egg and cheeses sandwiches on toasted, buttered rolls and waited awhile for them to be made. The guy who harassed me earlier said something inappropriate to me and then accused me of not having a sense a humor. At this point, he’s not worth my wasting words on so I shoot him another «if looks could kill» glare.
Each of our sandwiches came out to practically $ 4 which is higher than your average deli price, but we’re in midtown and this place seems like a tourist trap anyway. I think it would have been nice for one of their employees to have done something when I was harassed by that moron, not because it’s someone else’s responsibility to look out for me, but because I was a customer and this was occurring on their property.
This alone tempts me to give them a 2 star rating based on my experience, but our sandwiches were tasty and they gave us each (after I asked) a little container filled with Tapatio Hot Sauce which sent the flavor of our breakfast sandwiches to new heights… so 3 stars.

I often get food here from the hot buffet bar and I have to say it never disappoints. It is a bit on the pricey side but I have never had to throw anything away which I can’t say for the like of Garden Of Eden or Fairway buffet bars.
Their beef is about the only beef I will eat, never grisly always tender.

Great breakfast bar with gluten-​free/​paleo options galore!
