The deli offers a variety of options including soups, salads, and desserts, with the meatball sandwich being a standout. Customers often praise the hot pastrami and the friendly, consistent customer service. The bread is fresh, and the ingredients are quality. Despite a sometimes busy and confusing atmosphere, the quick service makes it worth the wait, even when the line is out the door.
