I walked in and was warmly greeted, quickly attended to and given an estimated time that my order would take to be finished. The food was carefully handed to me and I was graciously thanked for my patronage. I got it home and everyone enjoyed the taste of the food and the pleasant memories tied to it.

I used to really love this place but this is bad. We got Chicken fingers and French fries , Potato pancakes, mushroom barley soup, Cole slaw and pickle 1/2 lb health salad , Pastrami on rye bread with French fries side of Cole slaw and pickle. It came out to $96.... The soup was not good it was goopy and not in a good way. I have gotten this soup before and it's never weird like this. The French fries, chicken tenders and potato pancakes were all soggy (it's not like they had to travel far we live 7 minutes away) the chicken tenders were also super RUBERY. And I feel bad because my 4 year old got a vaccine today so we let him have tenders and fries as a treat and it was gorss and wouldn't eat it.
It feels like we paid almost $100 for a sandwich, health salad, coleslaw and pickles.. everything else was just bad.
You want a good pastrami or corned beef sandwich? Zan's has you covered. It offers a cozy diner atmosphere with quality food and generous portions. If you love pickles, you'll really enjoy the pickles here.

Another spot my wife and I revisited from my childhood. I haven’t been here in over 10+ years and after walking in, the smell just brought back so many memories. It seemed as if nothing changed, in a good way. The only thing that changed was the prices. I was surprised to see the prices have increased so substantially but I don’t mind paying a bit more to support a local business with quality food. Our food was DELICIOUS. We don’t get to visit Long Island often but we do anticipate coming back to Zan’s whenever we are able to make the trip again.

I just went to Zans in Lake Grove and I ordered a pastrami on Challah bread with some Russian dressing and some coleslaw. He wanted to charge me five dollars for a half a pound of coleslaw. It’s cabbage. I am sick and tired of being ripped off. Coleslaw is better and tastie at KFC.. I guess the guy behind the counter is the owner and he got insulted and defensive, he had something to say about everything. $23 for one sandwich and it’s not even like a sandwich that you would get at Katz deli in Manhattan. I am sick and tired of being ripped off!!!In the end, no coleslaw?. Also, their noodle pudding has gotten smaller and it’s $10 for a small portion?. I’m not saying that the food isn’t delicious. It’s just way too expensive.
Good deli food. Traditional booth layout. Cole slaw and pickles served as predinner.

If I could give this place a 0 review I would . Roaches crawling and when they were told they didn’t seem to care . Dirty silverware just completely disgusting. The board of health will be notified..
Really weird writing this review. I hope some things change for the better in the near future. I had great memories of this place. I stopped in recently for dinner with a friend. Got their reuben - it was massive, the corn beef was fatty (could've been worse) but it was so absurdly overpriced that I actually considered walking out before we ordered.
The quality of the food is not the same as I remember. The prices are astronomical and it's a damn shame because this place use to be on the money and have great food!

Yikes! I felt like I needed to take out a small loan to pay for our meal. I have never spent so much at a deli before. A "gourmet" deli, so they say, but a deli non the less. I was told the pickles were great, and the service was ok. The food was mediocre at best, certainly not worth the money. $90 for 2 pastrami sandwiches, a corned beef sandwich,chicken salad, onion rings, fries, and iced tea. I'm not sure if they charged for the tap water, but I wouldn't put it past them. Did I mention that was the cash price with a discount coupon? Let's not forget the automatic $20 tip added to the bill. Yes, this was a sit-down deli, but I never experienced an automatic tip on a bill for 4 people. If you plan on going here, make sure you have deep pockets. Oh, if I didn't use the coupons, you would add another $40 to the bill, making it $130 for food for 4 people at a deli. It's been four days, and I'm still in a state of disbelief.

Sandwiches are big but still over-priced. Sides are not included.
