The food here is really good,but trying to dine in is rodiculous. So difficult to find a parking space. Their answer is to park across the street and then pretend you are Frogger trying to make it onto the lilly pad without getting run over by the traffic on Ogden.

Food was good and bagels are good. Staff is super friendly and fast. Their new seating area is kinda tight. Lots of different bagel options.

This is s good deli, today I had the corned beef on rye with yellow mustard. The waiter asked if I wanted the regular or the large, of course I asked for the large. The meat was moist and tasted great, and let me say this, I didn't leave hungry. It was big! The pickles were great too. I should have ordered the latke too, next time I did have a cup of excellent kreplach soup.

Jillian was our waitress and honestly exuded the best energy to start our morning with. She was knowledgable of everything on the menu, hyped up their new pizza menu offerings, and even made a point to say how much she loves Schmaltz Deli in one of our first exchanges. Our food was amazing, but Jillian alone is a reason that anyone would want to come back. An ideal leader if she isn't already serving as one in her current role, purely based on the wonderful vibe she gave off. I hope she happens to see this, she deserves the win for being an ideal employee at an already great place to eat out on a Saturday morning!

Oh my goodness! This is the best deli around with the Sloppy Paul-corned beef as my absolute favorite. Brought a family member to try it another time and she was pleasantly surprised. A regular sandwich can make 2 meals. The customer service is also amazing!

I was in the mood for breakfast and decided to try this place. The parking lot is kind of confusing, I guess you have to enter from the side. The side where you line up for the drive-thru. They have signs saying you can’t enter through the exit but people do it anyway.

It’s so hard, trying to find a good corned beef/pastrami sandwich place close by. I decided to try the Atlantic special on pumpernickel bagel (I thought it said pumpkin) and schmaltz on cheddar jalapeño bagel. I’m not a fan of the half sour pickle, I should’ve asked for the kosher one. It was hard trying to finish one, I ended up tossing both pickles away. The schmaltz on cheddar jalapeño is a perfect combination. The pastrami was very juicy and tender, the heatness from the jalapeño gave it more flavor. Atlantic special was good but I should have chosen a better bagel like garlic. The pumpernickel was just okay. The beef salami was tasty.

I would definitely come back to try their lunch menu. Breakfast prices were not expensive, food portions were generous. I was pretty stuffed after two sandwiches. Oh, the morning staff was very friendly and attentive.
