Food is great , restaurant is very clean, servers are nice and attentive. I love how that they keep my drinks refilled that’s one thing I look for a lot…I did some photography while I was there as well cause it had such a cool vibe inside. The owner was very welcoming as well he’s always there hanging out. I highly recommend checking it out and of these items I upload here are all bomb!!! And looking forward to going back soon

I’ve loved J’s Deli since the moment they opened. Great venue, friendly service and top notch diner delights. The best bagels their amazing, the best I’ve ever had on the east and west coast!!! Fluffy inside, crisp light outer crust and always fresh baked every morning.

Delicious food and great service! So sad that they are closing. I'm hoping they open a new location at some point.

The food was first-rate, as it always is. I tried the Bloody Mary and thoroughly enjoyed it; wished I hadn't waited until our last visit (if you're having a festive breakfast I HIGHLY recommend!). I had the stellar tuna melt with fries, and my husband had the decadent Reubinski with onion rings and a side of coleslaw. The visit was bittersweet, since J's is closing after Sunday (if you weren't aware, make a Beeline so you don't miss out). Hopefully we ate enough to tide us over for awhile. My only disappointment is that I wanted to get a breakfast and some baked goods to go, but my husband wouldn't agree, especially since we were wadding out as it was. We wish you the very best of luck, Jay.

The food is out of this world. I had the Reubenski sandwich. Mixture of pastrami and corned beef. Had the sandwich when we first went to J's several weeks ago. We were here for 4 days and ate twice at J's, one for dinner and once for breakfast. Highly recommend.

Not family friendly. They don't have a kids menu so you have to order a $20+ meal for a child. No kids cups/to-go cups with lids.

Food was OK. Server was sweet, but got the order wrong several ways. Main problem was the room temperature. It had to have been over 80 where we were sitting. So hot that left early. Also, given everything, over-priced.

Had brunch with my girlfriends at J's Deli. Seated at a great booth near their beautiful bar. Very tasty food! Their omelettes are wonderful, crispy hash browns, perfect latkes, eggs Benedict, good bloody Mary and mimosa's. Tony's service was impeccable . Truly enjoyed the restaurant and will return!

Great environment. Bland taste:(. I love delis and want to see them all survive, including this one. I hope the can figure out a bit more when it comes to flavor. Again, great place (physically), big potential.

Love everything about this place. Wide variety on the menu and everything we've ordered is outstanding. Large portions and very tasty. We love sitting outdoors.

My first time to Js for a work luncheon. Sat on the patio which was lovely! Staff was excellent, friendly, prompt, and attentive. Generous servings with the delicious deli meats. Will definitely return!!

Great atmosphere but the food just isn't up to the prices they're asking for.

I tried the egg salad sandwich which was about $15 and came with fries. The sandwich was of fair size but the egg salad filling was bland which isn't terrible since it's egg salad, but I was hoping for a little more. And then there's the bread. They don't toast the bread (if I knew I would've asked). Asked for sourdough and the bread that came with the sandwich tasted like basic grocery store white bread, not very sourdough like.

The restaurant also labels itself a bakery but I asked if they make their bread for the sandwiches (sourdough) and they said they order it from somewhere in LA. Given that most of the items sold in the bakery category are sweets they're better off calling themselves a pastry shop or patisserie rather than a bakery.

You get a small serving of fries. It reminded me of the Popeyes fries but without seasoning. Again, lacking in flavor.

I have enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner plus ordered the large serving for 8 of Apple strudel for dinner parties. Super clean and great service. Everything we have ordered has been excellent! We love how they have tv's for sports without volume and they are happy to change the channel for your viewing pleasure.
