The pastrami is what it's all about for me...tender, delicious, and plenty of it!! Try the quesadillas if you like a bit of spice, or the marble rye is excellent too. Take away is easy since you can order direct (yes, delivery services support them, but they charge at least $4 more per item!!) or you can eat in the back garden patio that's heated!
Nice group of guys that are very helpful
