I used to order several times a week but all of a sudden my address, which is less than a mile away, is no longer in the area. Oh well.

I’ve been coming here since the early 2000s, back when Frank was the owner. It used to be a neighborhood staple — reliable, consistent, and worth the visit.

Last week, I ordered a sandwich on a roll — first mistake: they put it on a hero. Then the bread was so hard I could barely take two bites before tossing it. I still gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe it was just an off day.

Today I came back and ordered French toast with scrambled eggs and beef sausage.
1. What kind of beef sausage is this? It looked and tasted like “brown and serve” — completely unacceptable for a deli that used to take pride in quality ingredients.
2. The eggs? Nothing scrambled about them. They looked like they were meant for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich — flat, overcooked, and lifeless.

I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl, and it’s honestly sad to say — never again. The quality has gone downhill, and it’s just not the same place anymore.

Recently started working in the neighborhood and found this place via Grubhub. The food is really tasty and good size portions. I highly recommend it!

Very expensive and food is tasteless. The service is terrible. The prices change from day to day.

Kid-friendliness: Yes. This is a deli.

Used to be great, so leaving 3 stars in hopes they fix whatever is going on there. Last two times I have gotten sandwiches there it’s been very weak. Just got a turkey sandwich with literally one thin slice of deli turkey on it. Any random corner store will make it better.
