Great Jewish deli. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Right away, cole slaw and pickles are provided when you sit down, and theres enough on the menu to choose from for any meal or a snack.

Im aware many people compare this place and Katz and to me theyre both great. My go to order is a pastrami sandwich with Matzah ball soup. Hits every time. Dont get me started on the pickles and cabbage salad. Delish!

My first time there it did not disappoint. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the restaurant was impeccably clean, and of course the superstar was the food. Enjoyed the Twin Double with roasted red peppers. Next time Ill order another meat entree but will explore the sides more too... and take home a togo bag.

Had the combo corned beef and pastrami and was very satisfied with my sandwich. Mustard on the table added the kick I wanted. Service was efficient and friendly. Old school feel to set the vibe.

I came here for the first time after a long time. I am glad that the quality is undiminished. The matzoh ball soup is still super delicious and the hot pastrami sandwich is divine. The prices were not the same as I remembered but still worth every penny.

Excellent Jewish deli. Great complimentary addons coleslaw and pickles, black and white cookies. Tasty deli and marza ball soup just like home. Ask for the container of Russian dressing.
