This is a great deli! Best sandwiches around, hands down. You can’t go wrong with any of their offerings but I love their chicken cutlet, turkey, and reuben sandwiches. All sandwiches come with a whole pickle which is an added bonus. They also offer delicious homemade soups, deli sides, and baked goods. We especially love ordering from here when we have family in town because they are always impressed. If you haven’t tried them yet, don’t give it a second thought. There is something for everyone.

I never ate in there so i cant rate the atmosphere. I ordered a tray of Eggplant Parmesean it was delicious several thinly sliced layers of all their ingredients, Very Good. Some people who ate it thought it was Chicken Parmesean for some reason, possibly because it looked very similar. The lady at the counter was Exceptionally Friendly & Helpful along with a Customer, assisting me by carrying it ti my car & holding doors open. Felt Very Nice in a customer standpoint that they went out of their way to please a customer.

One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The overstuffed pastrami and corned beef with oil and vinegar coleslaw and Russian dressing ?. The prices are expensive for sandwiches but it’s worth it. I ate the other half and then I remembered I have to do a review so sorry about that ?! I almost forgot their oil and vinegar coleslaw is the best I always get a side dish of that ?.

The soup was delicious. It would have been even better hot. Unfortunately it was just mildly warm. The sandwiches are the real highlight. Service was very friendly and super quick. I will come back.

Food tasted much better when it was Kosher. Parking is difficult at best. It has been almost 15 years since I have been there. However, when it comes to delicatessen, this place is one of a dying breed. Still, their prices are excellent and their portions are more than ample. If you are looking for a no-nonsense experience that provides a no frills experience, this is your place. Be careful, their hours are 7am to 3pm.

This is an absolutely delicious, authentic NYC style deli. Matzo ball soup was so nourishing. Pastrami and corned beef sandwich was stacked and succulent. The macaroni salad is also incredible. And their scalloped potatoes with ham and cheese special is addictive.

Corned beef very dry and tasteless. Never again this was 3rd time disappointed ☹️

I used to always get my corned beef sandwiches here but that was a couple of years. I now live a distance away from there but I thought I'd drive by and bring a couple sandwiches home for my wife and myself so I ordered two plain corned beef sandwiches on a hard roll when I got home I tasted the sandwich and although I ate it was absolutely no flavor to the corned beef at all and I thought it was me but I asked her and she said yeah this is not really good. The meat was cut paper thin and there was no visible fat(flavor) on it at all. Seemed to be less meat than in previous years. Potato salad was very good as always. Paid $32 for 2 sandwiches and 1/4 lb. Of potato salad. Don't mind paying a lot if the food is good. But this was tasteless. Lesson learned.

Everything was great here except the pastrami sandwich. That was exceptional! Old school deli in the heart of Schenectady can't be beat.
