Food is very good. Server was a bit over the top trying to get physical with patrons next to us. Overall it’s okay if you want a Berkeley themed experience with good food.

It's a little high but the portions are usually big enough to take part of it home anyway it's a NY style deli so NY prices plus where can you have a great cocktail with your Reuben or falafel

Great find for "out of towners" looking for a quick bite. As authentic deli/restaurant as you can get with a Cali vibe!

Went there for brunch and had a great time! Excellent Bloody Maury, latte, pancakes, latkes, and hash. The only disappointment was the chicken sausage which was dry as a bone.Got there on a Sunday around 12:30 and we were seated in about 10 minutes. Parking is tough there as it is only street parking.

Saul's provides a consistently excellent dining experience. You don't have to be a pastrami lover to get good food. The vegetarian/vegan options are excellent. Best pita in Berkeley. Good luck if you're avoiding dessert; it's worth the calories. The staff are consummate professionals. I'm always well cared for at Saul's and leave feeling nourished in many ways. Many more "upscale" places I've dined at could learn about restuarant professionalism from Saul's. Thank you, darlings.Vegetarian options: Lot's available. Try the eggplant otto lenghi.Parking: There's generally decent parking, but little assigned handicapped parking. This makes it a challenge for wheelchair using friends.Wheelchair accessibility: The building, patio seating and restuarant interior are very accessible. Restrooms are excellent, though one is closet sized and clearly designed for ambulatory customers with small posteriors.

Love this place! Welcoming and cozy interior. This is a must visit in Berkeley for the comfort food and the years of family run Jewish food. Try the Pastrami Ruskie and Falafel Platter you won't regret it! My first time trying Knish and it didn't disappoint at all though it's just a potato side mmm! Erm the baklava is a no-no though.

Excellent deli sandwich and fresh salad. I've had a vegetarian option here as well previously, also amazing.Service is fast and to the point. Sometimes the food does take a bit of time to come out, but it's a busy place so completely understandable.Excellent outdoor seating options.Vegetarian options: Great veggie options! I think I got the falafel wrap last time.

I’m pretty sure Saul’s used to be A LOT better in former times. And all the basic ingredients are still present there, but the execution is extremely average. Not helped of course by downtown Berkeley which is a disappointing dump. Disappointing town gets a disappointing deli.

Although their couple of vegan items are pretty good, it's hard for me to understand why Saul's would make the cut for Happy Cow with so many other nearby restaurants offering so many more options and lot less meat on their menus in general.

Hands down the number one diner in Berkeley. I've had breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner here and it's never disappointed me. Great staff, genuinely friendly. I like the Jewish touch too, I feel like I'm in a Seinfeld episode every time I go.
