Lox not smoky/salty like many pretender restaurants. Cole slaw light and crispy, well above average. Pickles crispy and perfect. Friendly service, and thoughtfully prepared bag for this to-go order. Would return.

One of the best Jewish Deli around. It is an institution. Has a great bakery and Deli meats to go. Our favorite thing to start our meal is the half chicken in a pot with extra Matzah Balls for the leftover soup to bring home for another day. I love the dresser sandwich and make sure to ask for their yummy pickles with it. If they have them I like to buy a bag of bagel chips to take home for the leftover soup. The have magnificent hamtashins, great carrot cake, fantastic...

Don't be offput about the reviews or not being the original location, this place still has the same great food. The service was 2nd to none - Kevin recommend a few items and helped another table with a large party put tables together. There aren't many guys like him left in this world that truly care about his job. My reuben pastrami, fries, saurkraut, and cookie were all delicious that I would definitely come back for.
