EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!
Holy Schlitz! This is the best pastrami I've ever tasted including Katz's, Carnegie Deli (70s-90s), & Harold's of Raritan (80s-2010s)! If you've not gone, GO!!! I won't steer you wrong. It's tender, juicy, fresh, and has so much flavor! It's the Kobe of Pastrami! Sorry, didn't try the corn beef or knish but maybe next time. I got the $15.95 sandwich plus one Lb of pastrami $26.95. Tax is 6.625%. I paid cash but they do take cc. Just GO!

Wonderful place. Goes hard. Incredible pastrami.
Everyone loved their food.
Also had good drinks. I got a Mexican coke.
Great atmosphere.

This restaurant clearly lacks an understanding of what it takes to operate their business. The staff is incredibly rude to customers—not just to me, but to everyone. I felt especially bad for an older patron who was slow to place his order and ended up getting yelled at, as well as for a teenager who struggled to decide what to order and was also reprimanded. Overall, the customer service at this establishment is unacceptable. I wouldn’t be surprised if it closed down due to this unprofessionalism.

After hearing this place was the equal to Katz on the LES I curious but sceptical. It follows the same format food cut to order with samples handed over the counter on a small plate. The sandwiches are huge and the quality excellent. It is small with a few booths along one side of the space and small tables on the other. It was very busy when we went. It's by no means fancy but the food was great and the staff friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.

Ps - We got the regular size and couldn't put a dent in it. I can't imagine what the large looks like. I had pastrami/cornedbeef my wife had the brisket which she said was the best ever. The prices are also very reasonable.

It was so good I had to make a reel about it..... My craving was conquered. The staff was super nice. They give you samples while you wait. It was an awesome experience. Limited seating....I heard that you can sit in the restaurant next door also. This is a must! Please check them out

Pastrami was incredible. Briscuit very good but a little dry. Great fries, pickes, etc.. place is VERY small. Tough to eat in and battle the line.

Incredibly tasty - gives Katz's a run for their money! The meats were tender & I loved the rub on the Pastrami - the pickles were drool-worthy. The friendliest staff, too. We'll be back - YUM!!!

Just came from Pastrami Grill Bistro and the pastrami was amazing!! I loved it. Unfortunately I couldn’t have a sandwich for personal reasons but I had the meat by itself and it was delicious. I highly recommend it. Definitely come check this place out. The staff was super friendly. Will definitely come back soon.

Delicious, massive sandwiches offered at a great price. Meat was tender, flavorful, and generously portioned. Restaurant itself has very limited seating and there was always a line (nearly counter to door deep) which speaks to the quality of the sandwiches, but can add to a bit of a claustrophobic "dine in" experience.
