About Hobby's Delicatessen & Restaurant

Hobby's Delicatessen & Restaurant is a popular spot, praised for its delicious corned beef and pastrami. The staff is friendly and efficient, creating a welcoming atmosphere for diners. The owners often take the time to speak with each table, enhancing the experience. The restaurant is also known for its tasty pickles and freshly baked rye bread.

The menu features a variety of classic deli dishes, including the gluten-free chicken tender platter and the highly recommended chocolate chip cookies. Reviewers describe the pastrami and corned beef as "yummy" and "melt[ing] your mouth," while the corned beef knish is considered just average. Standout items include the hamantash and matzah balls, although some suggest the broth could use more herbs and seasoning. The matzo ball soup is noted as pure comfort.

The atmosphere reflects a strong Jewish influence, with a menu that caters to traditional deli fare. The poutine, or "disco fries," are a must-try, generously topped with cheese and gravy. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, making it a convenient choice for all diners. While parking can be tough, the restaurant's legendary reputation makes it a must-visit for a satisfying lunch or dinner, offering a taste of authentic deli cuisine in a welcoming environment.

Great food! Even better people!

This place is amazing! I have celiac disease and have a hard time finding safe places to eat. I had the gluten free chicken tender platter and chocolate chip cookies, which were both unbelievable. The wait staff was incredibly kind and attentive and explained that everything was prepared separately using a dedicated fryer. My gluten consuming family also loved their food. My husband said it was the best pastrami he’s ever had and my son had an “extra cheesy” grilled cheese....read full review

My sister and myself love to eat in so we can eat all the pickles in buckets on every table👍👏😎
