Food was bland. Sandwich was ok. Everything was just ok. I won't go back, just cause food was dull, and service was extremely slow . Sour pickles were hard and not sour. Health salad tasted like no dressing on it. Matzoh Ball was a giant ball of Matzoh meal. No onion, no flavor. Soup was like water. Meh.

A great Jewish style deli. They have a pickle bar with various fresh pickles, which is a great innovation. Had a meat knish and kugul. Both were great.

We go here often for breakfast. I can’t say enough about this restaurant. The food is delicious, the servings are HUGE, the coffee is always fresh, and the Pickle Bar!! Gotta try the pickle bar. The dining area is always spotless, and I’m pretty sure it’s their waiter that makes sure of that. I wish I knew his name, he’s on top of everything, and I’m not sure how he does it all. Best deli around, and I’m nearly an hour away. Thanks Essen!

So my brother invited me out for lunch and he told me to meet him at The Essen Room Restaurant. Needless to say it was my first time eating there and the food/sandwich was delicious and very filling/huge. And the eclair was delicious as well.
Note: The prices are a little on the pricey side but worth it…Enjoy 😋

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.
