Customer service was poor. I walked into the restaraunt and greeted the woman behind the counter i guess she was the cashier/order taker. She didnt respond and gave me a blank look like “wtf are you doing here.” Customer service is huge with me, so ill never return.

Oh and the reuben was just “Ok” ive had much better in the past.

We shared a corned beef, pastrami, and swiss sandwich, potato salad and a variety of pickles. We both agreed it was the best sandwich we have ever had. The corned beef just melted in our mouths. We did a carry out of the BBR pastrami and brisket which was delicious as well. Also, highly recommended the coconut cake. Can't wait to go back.

For people complaining about fatty corned beef....get your lean corned beef from the grocery store!

After a very long wait for my food I sat down and was told that I could not eat from a carrot container. When I ordered my food I was not given an option for dine in or carry out. When I got my sandwich home I did not enjoy the corn beef sandwich I ordered. Don’t think I will be a returning patron

Someone needs to read their food handling manual!! Ordered a pound of corned beef sliced. The server did not put on fresh gloves and then stacked another paper layer on top of my order. The paper had been sitting on the slicer. The manager had no idea what I was complaining about, as he stood there with his gloved hands on the counter. Gloves are worn to protect my food, not your hands! My grocery store deli charges less, sells a leaner product AND refreshes their gloves with every sliced meat order.

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!

Food is amazing. Wonderful Matzo ball soup. Overstuffed sandwiches. Corned beef, pastrami and whitefish salad are great. All you can eat pickle bar options are the tasty. If you have room, the rugelach are wonderful!

Stood at the counter for seven minutes, waiting for someone to wait on me. There was no line and only one customer in the restaurant. No one even acknowledged me. I get up to the register hoping to order there and then she told me I had to go where I had been standing for seven minutes to order. I’ve never experienced customer service like this before in my life. She saw me standing there. Why couldn’t she have taken my order. never again this used to be my favorite deli.
