Fantastic deli if you like pastrami and corn beef. They have cooked foods to eat there or take out. The lox, whitefish, herring reminds me of Sunday breakfasts when I was a kid. Great spot for lunch

This is the quintessential Jewish deli! My husband and I finally made it here and we really liked it. For a Wednesday evening, it was very busy, which is always a great sign! The dining area is nice and updated with a decent number of tables, all of which were occupied. Our waitress was so friendly and bubbly even though she was running around from table to table and she never seemed to break a sweat. A plate of 2 kinds of pickles and waters were served right away. We gobbled them up! We ordered 3 mini potato pancakes for a little "nosh" before our meals. They were nice and crispy (just how my husband likes them) and came with a side of apple sauce. They were really good! The only thing that would make it better is if it came with some sour cream too. I was having trouble deciding between a few options but settled on the turkey club sandwich. It came with a generous mound of fresh turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato in between 3 layers of toasted white (you can pick white, wheat or rye) and a side of their coleslaw and some mayo. I love coleslaw and theirs is real good! My husband obviously ordered a Sloppy Joe. It was packed with the usual 3 meats: roast beef, turkey, and corned beef/pastrami. Right off the bat he noticed the pastrami was still warm and that was a game- changer for him. He's had many sloppy Joes in his time but the warm pastrami raised his eyebrows! The sandwiches are big and we only managed to finish half of ours, but we definitely asked for a box and brought the other halves home. Im definitely going to try something new next time. They have so many options so you should come with an appetite. If I'm ambitious enough I'm going to try their unique Knishwich.. and yes, it's exactly what you think it is!

The place smelled delicious as soon as we walked in the door. Roasting chickens, seasoned meats and baked goods were an olfactory delight. I got a corned beef Reuben sandwich. You need to put this in your face. Easily one of the best Reuben sandwiches I have ever had. The French fries were very good. Golden brown on the outside, crispy and delicious. My wife got the potato knish. Between bites, as she wolfed it down, she said it was delicious. With all the prepared salads and meats presented right in front of you the ambience was great. I highly recommend this place and I am going back for more Reuben sandwiches. Delicious

Good, traditional Jewish food Deli. We love the pickles they put on the table. My husband and I split the pastrami sandwich and it was plenty for both of us for lunch.

Take out often from them. Love all their fishes: herring, lox, smoked sable, sturgeon, smoked salmon and the list goes on and on. Place is always busy so you know they are good. Their salads are always tasty and I enjoy their homemade knishes. Sandwiches are good and plentiful. Not a fan of their soups as I make mine better. Service is consistent.

WOW! not your usual deli! Ambiance is one that starts someone to salivate. Seating is ample and service is prompt. One person had the corned beef sandwich. Nicely packed with side of health salad. Good flavor without being salty. The kasha and bow ties with gravy was excellent. The chicken salad sandwich was exceptionally good. The kids had the grilled chicken dinner. Nice portion cooked to perfection. The matzoh ball soup was also excellent. Not too salty and the matzoh ball soft as butter. Even the coffee was better than most places. Cannot wait till next visit! If you like GOOD DELI, you got to try HERE!

We are regulars at this establishment, and the food never dissapoints. They make excellent kreplach, and the kreplach soup reminds one of Grandma's :) Great burgers, great knishs's. The pastrami is good, but Ive been to Katz's many times, and I judge any pastrami I eat by the Katz's quality. So Ill say, it's good pastrami, but not Katz's. Good brisket. They also make a french dip sandwich that is excellent, roast beef and provolone, with Au Jus on the side. Very Good. Brisket Knish...AWESOME. If youre in the mood for good deli, highly recommended. They do get busy and or crowded, so depending on the time you might have to wait for a table.
