Hidden gem to those “out of staters”
Time hasn’t changed this deli and that’s a rare thing these days. Pastrami was amazing and the French dip was a close second. A must stop if you are ever in the area!

This is a DELI! Giant pastrami sandwich. The meat melts in your mouth and there is a lot of it. On marble bread with a little mustard! Yum!

While visiting friends in schenectady on friday, we stopped by Gershons Delifor lunch and I was really impressed. The corned beef sandwich was delicious—tender, flavorful, and satisfying. Service was friendly and quick, making for a great overall experience. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

I love this place. Came here as a child and now as an adult moving away for 20 years. The matza ball soup and French dip are my favorites with a dr brown black cherry soda. So delicious.

Potato pancake was undercooked. The potato strands in the middle of the pancake were hard.

They don't make their own pastrami. Pastrami was thinly sliced on a slicer. Meat was rubbery. It sure ain't Katz!

Staff was nice. Restaurant was clean.

Wow, visiting the world famous Gershon's today was an unforgettable experience! Toni and Gina were absolutely phenomenal; their energy was contagious, making every moment delightful. They went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met, providing little touches of excellence throughout my visit. It felt like being welcomed by old friends rather than just receiving service! When you combine such friendly faces with top-notch quality—it creates magic! I'm eagerly counting down the days until I return for another round of extraordinary service!

Nice Jewish style deli. Most of the old favorites, including tongue. However, can't get an egg cream. Parking is challenging. Only open to 3 p.m.
