Rabbi Jacobson was fantastic! He remembered my friends who recorded the shop and was excited to meet us and hear about our story. He had open arms to our family and treated us like we were his family.

My friend told me to go here yesterday so I did. This is the best sandwich I have had in a long time. The meat was awesome and about double what I would put on at home! The bread was amazing. The guy was super cool too, very welcoming and suggested the hot sauce for the sandwich which was a good call. I had the hot and sour pickle which complimented the sandwich well. Apple turnover for dessert! I will be back probably regularly.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! The Rabbi is a very welcoming and friendly man who makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. The food is impeccable, large portions and made to your preference. Also features a small grocery section, along side some art and literature for sale as well. Bread is baked fresh, in-house. The Rabbi told me he's been working here for close to 25 years, and the deli started as a co-op 30 odd years ago! And after visiting here, its easy to see why this place is still around and doing so well!

Parking: Parking is behind the building, the lot before you reach the Deli is not the parking lot for the Deli though but for the business next door.

This lovely kosher deli has become our go-to stop traveling from MN to KS to visit our family. All of the deli meat is delicious! Try a half sour pickle! Easy parking and the rabbi makes you feel right at home.

Best sandwich ever! The Roosevelt! Your tastebuds will thank you!
So every place has a thing right.. like a special dish or creative foods or centric service. For me... it's the pudding 😂
I thought it was so awesome to get a cup of pudding with my sandwich!! The sandwich was phenomenal and came with the BEST pickle but when I saw the pudding I didn't know how to react. It literally changed my life and made me feel so loved. I had no idea how much I needed that pudding and I don't know if it was the sandwich or the pudding but the love.... Changed my life.
Thank you family!

Charming Kosher Deli with excellent food and service. The Rabbi who runs this place is extremely friendly and kind to all that enter. It is part deli and part shop. They have neat items and kosher foods. The sandwiches and meat are top-notch. Thanks so much for making lunch so lovely for my better half and I. I had the Zaidy's on rye.
Parking: Parking in rear.
Kid-friendliness: I would definitely bring my children here.

The Matzaball soup tasted like warmed, diluted, schmaltz with little seasoning and the knishes were soggy and tasteless. The pastrami and marble rye were among the best I've ever had, but a bit stingy on the amount of meat.
