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.

While dining there yesterday 10/27, for lunch, upon getting our check, a 20% gratuity was added to our check as if it was an item ordered. (Not a suggested amount at the bottom of the check). We’ve been dining there for over 15 years and this has never been done. We were a party for 4. We are previous restaurant owners and found this to be insulting. No signs were posted anywhere informing patrons of this. Very disappointed

A few years ago we had a little issue with gift certificates. So we didn’t come back. About two months ago we started coming back to this delicious deli/ restaurant! Tonight we had the same waitress as last time. I don’t remember our waitress name but she has bright red hair! She is wonderful! She gives you the time to make your decisions on the menu explains everything to a tee. The hot Rubin sandwich is delicious! The best around and so is the chicken wrap that comes with an amazing spinach salad. You always get coleslaw and pickles! Soo good! We highly recommend Zans . Get a buy one get one free coupon in your local paper! You won’t be disappointed.

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.

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!
