damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at G&R Deli yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
The Infatuation says to "expect a line out the door on weekends" at G&R, describing the crowd as wedged "against shelves of jarred tomatoes and dried pastas, and snaking out the door" in the narrow Morris Park shop.
The crowding has intensified alongside the deli's viral fame: per Tasting Table, the shop's meatball "Italian ice cream cone" — a hollowed loaf of bread packed with baked meatballs, sauce, and house-made mozzarella — spread widely after an Instagram reel of the dish drew nearly 200,000 likes and 5,000 comments, bringing new visitors to a counter that has operated on Williamsbridge Road since 1978.
G&R functions as a takeout counter rather than a sit-down restaurant, and no source — The Infatuation included — reports any reservation option; the line described is a walk-up queue that forms inside the small shop and extends out the door at busy times.
