John TantilloJuly 25, 2014This is a wonderful place to go when in the mood for a pastrami on rye with a smear on the side if u know what I mean. And it ain't chicken liver either
Jonathan JaffeAugust 2, 2013Turkey, brisket, pastrami, cornbeef and roast beef are all made right there and the brisket, cornbeef and pastrami are kept hot throughout the day. Great Kosher Deli.- Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014This 65-year-old Jewish establishment is one of the last kosher delis left in New York City. Guy loved the fried kreplachs, which he described as "Jewish pot stickers. Read more
Ryan EickJuly 9, 2016It might be far out, but the pastrami (easily as good as Katz's), kreplach and friendly staff are all well worth the trek
Messiah RAugust 3, 2015May be the best in Queens, after pastrami king on Queens Blvd closed. Kinda pricey, but worth it if you want good Kosher food...
Been around more than 60 years and I hope they will be around 60 more. Featured in Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives"
Perry SchafferMarch 10, 2013Totally legit. All the classics. Corned beef + knish + Dr. Brown black cherry = no problem
Daniel BarthelsMarch 30, 2015A tad pricey for chicken noodle soup with very little chicken and not too many more noodles for that matter.
🚂Chris🚃March 3, 2013Sweet baby Jesus the sandwiches are to die for, and the matzo ball soup is legit.
Jon SpiegelNovember 13, 2014Hands down the best Jewish deli outside of Manhattan. The pastrami is ridiculous!!!- Anna Pinto RealtyJanuary 19, 2016This 65-year-old Jewish establishment serves up the best pastrami. Delicious!!!
Amanda-Rae RamosJanuary 30, 2011The pot pie was kinda inedible...but our server was very polite and accommodating about it and offered to let us choose something else. We always get great service here!

SidDecember 13, 2010"How can you serve an awesome pastrami sandwhich without cheese! Screw Kosher!!!! "What a clueless comment. Why would you go to a kosher place if you want meat and cheese together?
Girl at register had no clue about the foursquare deal. Sigh. And I was stoked about it too. What a waste! Gonna drown my sorrows in carbs!
Ariel BackenrothDecember 26, 2009Tongue pastrami combo with a side of egg barley. Lots of half sours.
