I have been a patient at a re hab center nearby for 3 weeks.Tempting me with different foods so I would eat better, she brought me a half of a turkey sandwich and supposedly a cup of vegetable soup.

I think the soup was a pint, it was fabulous, all veggies were cooked perfectly. When she pulled out the turkey sandwich without unwrapping it I thought by the Wieght I thought she got me a full one. I don't know how they make money. She was bringing them almost every day. I'm leaving here tomorrow and am really going to miss their food. I wish they really had one by where I live.

You gotta come here to debrief with your bestie(s), get the plate of 4 latkes, and eat them while they're hot and burn your lil fingies. Ouch! Hot! Owie! Worth it. Something about this place makes every conversation more interesting and fulfilling cause you can hear the plates clinking and clanking and the food is so hot and they are always refilling your water so you can really focus on the yap. I'm really very charmed.

Shoutout to Gigi who is the cutest speediest most attentive perfect server. Come to Mensch's!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrific place. Clean, great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Met two friends there to have a celebratory birthday lunch. Great menu. Very reasonably priced, a shockingly BIG amount of tuna on the sandwich. Everything tasted great. Then, ordered to go a dozen bagels, a pound of corned beef, a quart of matzoh ball, and a delicious turkey sandwich with coleslaw and russian dressing. Oh and the coffee was darn good. With refills!! A great way to kick off a birthday.

The meat at Menschs stands head and shoulders above other delis I’ve been to. It felt like an old school deli from back in the day. Food and Service were amazing

Fantastic latke- great crunch and came out piping hot. I enjoyed the Bubbe Special, but personally would ask for pastrami instead of corned beef next time for an extra punch of salt. The pickles green tomatoes stood out on the pickle plate.

4.4/5. Nice atmosphere, solid food. Potato salad, coleslaw, and Reuben were all good. Pastrami had a nice smoked/spiced flavor to it. Portions were generous, which is great if you eat a lot. Price-wise it is in line with other delis.

Our first time here and we were excited to try a new deli. The atmosphere was pleasant, we have been seated on the back patio. We oder matza ball soup, pastrami on challah and white fish salad on pumpernickel bagel. Shortly after we have been informed that they run out of pastrami, so we order corned beef instead. My order came on pumpernickel bread instead of bagel. My wife's sandwich came on rye instead of challah. They fixed the order fast, and did not charge us for her sandwich. The whitefish salad was mixed with dill and lemon and topped with dill as well. For now I'll skip this deli. It was not what we expected 🫩

I lived in New York for a decade and this is far from a New York style Jewish deli. On a weekday morning I was one of three customers and still had inattentive service. I actually found the menu limited in its selections, which surprised me. It also surprised me that they could not manage poached eggs. My over easy eggs came with one slice of toast. From the review I read that prompted me to visit this deli, I was really disappointed in the actuality.
