I go every time I'm in Halifax - best breakfast you'll have downtown. Cash only, don't be surprised!
Embarrassed to admit that I had never even heard of this place, but my spouse and I were craving Reubens when we were in the city and google recommended this amazing place! I know it sounds over the top to say, but it was genuinely one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. The Reuben was so good that we could barely speak the whole meal unless it was to rave about how delicious it was between bites!! Seriously, I can't wait to go back 🤤 I wish we'd had time to eat in, the atmosphere was incredible and the staff was super friendly, funny and kind! 100/10!
My current favorite brunch spot. The service is always excellent!
Waitress was super cool food was pretty awesome and they had cool posters and photos on the walls
We had a terrible experience at this place. The owner was shockingly rude. We left our table and waited at the bar to pay — our table had already been cleared — but they completely ignored us for over 20 minutes, helping people who arrived after us instead.
When we finally asked again to pay, the owner rang us up but then short-changed us and tipped himself without asking. We were already disappointed with the service and had no intention of tipping again, but he still held out his hand as if we owed him a second tip.
It’s disturbing how he seemed to believe tips are mandatory, regardless of how poorly he treated his customers. News flash: tips are earned, not owed. This was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had. I sincerely hope people think twice before supporting a business that treats guests with such entitlement and disrespect.
Best of luck — you’re going to need it.
Just saw this place on tv .. On you gotta eat here ... IM ON MY WAY !!! 1298KLM 12 HOUR Road trip ! I need that triple decker ..
Wow, my friend Tom and I had a wonderful lunch. The brisket and smoked meat sandwiches were tasty and delicious, as was the matzo ball soup. Wonderful atmosphere, with a very welcoming server. The food was delicious, with big portions. No room for dessert. I would be a regular here if I lived in Halifax. We had a wonderful conversation with the brither and sister seated at the next table. It is the kind of place where meeting strangers is easy.
Nice, old school deli. Good food, servers are pros. Not our first time, or last.
It has been over 10 years since our last visit.
Not disappointed. I got the smoked meat sandwich, which comes with fries and Pickle. It was excellent.
K had the special, which was the grilled cheese with tomatoes served with Matzah ball soup. All I heard from her were mmmmm and aaahs. So I guess it was good.
We'll be back
Awesome unassuming restaurant with the BEST eggs Benny on Smoked Salmon I've ever had! It's a neighborhood gem but well worth a trip to eat! The decor is perfect! Definitely hitting this place up soon again!

Thanks for the food poisoning
Busy spot, and for good reason. Great food and fair pricing.
Halifax staple, great smoked meat get the platter!
Adding to all the other amazing reviews. The place is great, just go and eat! They take cash only. The smoked meat hash was so great, and the challah toast was perfect.
Food is great reminds me of grandmas cooking. The was delicious and fast, I barely waited 5 mins and it was right in from of me. The friendly staff here makes every feel they are at home. I highly recommend everyone experience this place just once, and I am sure you will be a repeat customer like myself.
