We asked to see the pastrami and the counter guy looked at us like we were crazy. In spite of this, we ordered a plain hot pastrami on rye. The sandwich was dry in spite of asking for it juicy which in any Jewish deli means fatty. (This is the exact reason we asked to see it). The flavor of the pastrami was good. The portion was small for an $18 sandwich.
Sometimes when you need comfort food you really want some matzo ball soup and a pastrami on rye like your dad used to have, but I was struggling to find any places around here that had them. But having found The Borscht Belt changed that, now I have a source for all my Jewish comfort foods!
Ordered the Pines and it was delicious! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The rye bread is so chewy and flavorful. The pricing is a bit higher compared to other options in the market so maybe will not be my “go-to” during every market visit - but it's worth it if you're craving quality smoked fish!
