I love this place. The food is delicious. The servers are friendly. I like to get a booth by the front window to watch the busy street. The price is unheard of these days. It's perfect and I hope it stays this way.

Going into city line deli for the first time in 35 years this place has a special place in my heart because this is one of the first jobs I ever had when I was a kid from 1983 to 1986and met my best friend for life there. I certainly didn’t know what to expect when I walked in having such fond memories. I hope it hadn’t changed too much when I walked in that feeling of the 80s came back a little bit, there were some minor changes at the front door. There used to be a register where everybody would pay their check that is moved to the center in between the deli and the cooking area, across from the deli used to be refrigeration cases with all of your retail cheeses, dairy products and other items those are no longer there. The seating has stayed the same with a few changes in the back. There is no more seating towards the back door, which leads down to the bathroom Overall though this still has The look in the feel of the old deli reminiscent of good old times I saw that they had a number counter for customers when they are busy, and I’ll be darned if that is not the same number counter we had and used back in the 80s. It has not changed. The menu is classic Jewish style deli with some twists and new items while the customer base has changed over the years. It seems that they’re still quite a few People that enjoy A good Philadelphia Jewish deli like this I ordered an everything bagel toasted with olive oil, lettuce, tomato, onion, and green peppers and Kalamata olives on the side being vegan. I took out the smoked salmon, but that is something that I would eat every week growing up as a kid minus the smoked salmon. The sandwich was absolutely delicious Brought back so many memories Kalamata I know they’re only olives, but I absolutely love them with this sandwich the saltines of it along with the fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and green pepper. It’s just so delicious. My friend had a smoked salmon Benedict, which he did like very much while they weren’t that busy our waitress was very nice. The kitchen was a little bit backed up with orders from takeout this did not bother me. I was just glad to be here back in the 80s and the 90s this place was so busy. We would have 6 to 7 waitresses on at a time and the weekend was absurd Friday Saturday there was a line out the door and Sunday you would be lucky to get in. It was the place to be when we received our check I was astonished this place actually is affordable and a good value and will be someplace that I visit more often because of that I just hope I can get out here more often. Very nice people. That have taken over this business if you like, old-school corn, beef sandwiches, smoked fish, platters, and homemade soups. This is the place for you.

This place was dirty at first sight. The decor was super outdated and dusty. I got a cup of tea n the waitress didnt bring any sugar just a dry lemon and a little vial of honey. My food took forever to come out and when it did it was a little cold. I asked for cheese in my eggs and it was non existent. The sausage had no flavor and was super oily. The bacon was super salty and im pretty sure im gonna have to check my blood pressure when i go home. I would not recommend this place at all and in all honesty i feel like they need to revamp everything and start over with a new staff and better management. Definitely overpriced as well. When i asked for a refill of my tea the waitress didnt even discard my first tea bag and stated that they had ran out of honey. Highly disappointed
