The Essen Room Reviews
Small soup (to go) and half of a sandwich (ate at restaurant) - over $30…. UNREAL AND OUTRAGEOUS! Had to pay a tip and charged for using a credit card! Bye bye Essen Room!
Bought a lean Reuben and the corned beef was as tough as leather. Would not ever come back. For over $20? We go to fab places in NYC. This sandwich got tossed.
Went to Lenny’s Deli and got an extra lean Corned beef sandwich and theirs was delicious. Freshly cut, first cut. With Swiss cheese and on fresh awesome rye bread.
This is the place for corned beef.
This was the biggest Reuben I have ever had in this area! It was delicious. I only wish I had taken some of the pastries home but after I ate my sandwich I was too full.

The Essen Room is a popular deli in Baltimore, MD, known for its large sandwiches and great service. This Jewish deli is a local hidden gem, offering a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The menu includes big, stacked sandwiches, fantastic blintzes, and a variety of pickles, such as hot & spicy, full sour, and sweet pickle chips. The hot corned beef and pastrami on seeded rye, served with potato salad and pickles, are classic Jewish deli dishes that many customers praise. The corned beef melts in the mouth, and the pastrami is also highly recommended. Visitors often enjoy the huge portions, with some taking half of their meal home. The restaurant also features a bottomless pickle bar, adding to the authentic deli experience. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and generous servings make it worth it. The staff is attentive and helpful, especially for first-timers navigating the extensive menu. The Essen Room is a must-visit spot for deli lovers and those craving a true NYC Jewish deli vibe. Recent reviews highlight the accommodating staff, the quick service even close to closing time, and the delicious, huge sandwiches, including the pastrami sandwich that can be enjoyed in half. Customers also enjoy the classic Jewish deli offerings like cole slaw and potato latkes, along with a large takeout counter. The breakfast options and the spotless dining area, maintained by attentive staff, add to the overall positive experience. The Pickle Bar remains a favorite feature, making the Essen Room a top choice for authentic deli food.
