The Reuben sandwich was one of the best I've had anywhere. Just the right amount of high quality, not-too-salty thinly sliced pastrami with Swiss and a dash of sauerkraut on fresh lightly toasted rye. It just needed some mustard from the two types on the table: plain yellow and hot. I got the combo with onion rings and they were fantastic--big, hot, fresh, and crispy. Our server was fast, efficient, and a clear communicator. The ambience was great, like a bustling New York style full service Jewish deli/restaurant. Can't wait to go back and try other items from the massive menu and adjacent bakery.

Salar Parvini

One of the best places for breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Solid food and great service.

Parking can be difficult at times so come with patience and extra time.

Great place, great food and never leave hungry. Also and excellent bakery and deli

It's an older cafe but that comes with the experience of an older cafe. It has a full bakery and Delhi. Indoor and outdoor seating parking
And some of the best most authentic jewish food in town. If in doubt, you can not go wrong with the pastrami on Rye.

We had the Ted Leitner sandwich with coleslaw, fries, and the chicken fried steak meal. They were delicious!! Perfectly cooked! Service was fast and the server was nice. I'm definitely returning!

Don’t be thrown off by what you might think this place is… D.Z. Akin’s is the best spot for breakfast brunch lunch and dinner! Classic American favs and all the other goodies! Biggest menu you’ve ever seen! They’ve got it all!

Parking: Mostly pretty easy unless a busy weekend brunch

Onions roll could have been fresher. They cut down on portion of pastrami in the sandwich. The matzoh ball soup was just okay. Everything use to be better.
