Dana Parker

This is the best Jewish Deli in the state . Their Rueben is amazing, and if you go during Passover they will make it on matzah. They also have the nicest staff ! Worth many repeat visits.

Ken Gross

A must when in town . Always great food. Have to walk there so you can walk off the huge portions . A pleasure every time.

Erik Rowley

A wonderful kosher deli , grab a tray and slide through a variety of delicious comfort foods . Fresh baked bread and recommend the chicken noodle casserole .

Dougie Rocks

I've been eating here for over 50 years. Corned beef on rye , potato pancakes and the best cheesecake in the city !

Chris R

It's expensive but there's a reason. Darn good eats. Fresh baked breads to go with your sandwich . You have to try the reuben if you've never been here.

Otto Jefimenko

Pastrami is the best in the area

Corned beef , pastrami , Mac'n cheese . Incredible desserts , esp. Lemon cake . Pricey . Worthwhile every so often.

I'd say the corned beef sandwiches would be a good place to start if you've never been there before

Mitch Smith

I ordered a 1/2 pastrami and side of green beans and it was $16…are we in NYC?? And the sandwich wasn’t even hot and the cheese wasn’t melted … but the pastrami was good (not great)

Maria Alviz

This place is 110 years old! Try the Reuben sandwich , it's huge and delicious.

You cannot go wrong with peppered beef on rye with brown mustard . If you're sitting and eating, make sure to grab a potato pancake too.
