Brittany VanBibberSeptember 17, 2013Oh. My. Deliciousness. Get anything with roast beef in it. And the fries are to die for. Delivery might take a while though- its a pretty popular takeout place.
Annie LuOctober 12, 2012Perfect drunk food. Go for the Popeye for melty, roast beefy goodness w/ just enough spinach to trick yourself into thinking it's healthy. Opt for the bisque fries instead of the cheez fries.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the gloriously sloppy That Way, creamy Lioni Latticini mozzarella & juicy gravy made from thickened pan drippings crown this roast beef sandwich. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks of 2011. Read more
Addi HouFebruary 1, 2013The OTHERTHING pastrami is one of the best in NYC. And the amazing fries are a meal in itself but well worth the effort!
Real Cheap EatsNovember 5, 2012Try the “This Way” ($5.50). Slowly roasted beef is sliced paper thin and served on a sesame studded roll, a hearty au jus is ladled on, and lashings of cheese whiz are then applied. Read more- Real Cheap EatsNovember 30, 2011Try the 'This Way' sandwich ($5.50), "Slowly roasted beef round is sliced paper thin and served on a sesame studded roll, a hearty au jus is ladled on, and lashings of cheese whiz are then applied."

Nina LoSchiavoApril 23, 2012Their seasoned thick cut fries remind me of the kind you get on the boardwalk at the beach. I mean this in the best possible way.
Riley McCormickOctober 21, 2011Even though the Popeye costs more - it's worth it. You get a lot more meat and the spinach/garlic/provolone are AWESOME. You must give it a try once.
Village VoiceSeptember 15, 2010The pastrami is a must have- The meat is way-smoky and gloriously fatty and a lovely shade of deep red. Untraditionally, coleslaw is put in the sandwich, along with the expected grainy mustard.
The Wall Street JournalAugust 26, 2010The roast-beef sandwiches come This Way (on a roll with au jus and Cheez Whiz, $5.50), That Way (with gravy and mozzarella, $8.50), or Something Else (Cheez Whiz, fries and mozzarella, $12.50). Read more

Dishling NYCJanuary 30, 2011The Roast Beef Sandwich is the most popular in the city. The Pastrami Sandwich is the 4th most popular (behind the usual suspects: Katz's Deli, Carnegie Deli and 2nd Ave Deli).
DensMay 11, 2010This place is pretty great. You're not going to beat $4.50 for the Roast Beef sammy and the Pastrami @ $7 is a legit option to Katz's $16 tourist trap. If you go pastrami, hold the cole slaw.
Great comfort food. I love that you get a slider with every beer purchase.
Sean StenstromFebruary 21, 2014best roast beef & pastrami sandwiches & fries - standing room only - East Village
Bill KAugust 1, 2010The pastrami's great, but the "Something Else" (roast beef w mozz, gravy, au jus, and steak fries all piled in together) is the way to go.
Frank KimJuly 16, 2011The hand-cut fries are amazing, they have this like fried chicken fry on them, the This Way was da bomb!
$3 for beer in a can and a roast beef slider is a great deal. Get it with whiz.
Andrew CerdaOctober 11, 2011Want something light? Create your own tuna on rye with provolone, tomato, lettuce, and mustard! Yummies!!
The That Way is tasty and delicious. The hero's a bit too big, so go for the roll.
amooliaMarch 23, 2012Upgrade your drunk food here- open LATE! Free slider with any beer how can you say no?
Aileen TseJanuary 5, 2013i'm not a big fan of roast beef sandwiches, but i would only eat them at this little piggy
Alyssa D'AngeloJanuary 21, 2011Awesome people an awesome food... And now they have soup! The lobster bisque is amazing :)
- Erik CampoJuly 14, 2010"That other thing" is by far the best sandwich; slow cooked pastrami w/ coleslaw that legit melts in ur mouth!
'that way' is Huge! Combined with beef stew and fries and 2 cokes and a snapple = 17 bux, amazing! Welcome to the Hood..
Tim VetterMarch 3, 2011Ask for your "This Way" with the au jus on the side to prevent the sandwich turning into a soggy mess. Dip, then drink the leftovers.
Rich GallagherSeptember 6, 2011Finish up your night in the East Village with the "This Way" sandwich and you'll go home happy.
Carrie MFebruary 3, 2011Had "The Other Thing" today. Hands down the best pastrami I ever had. Do it! :)
New sandwich alert! "The Popeye" - Roast Beef, Mozzarella, Garlic, Spinach, New Pants...
Karin RendelmanAugust 2, 2011Please. Please have "the other thing"! Such a great sammy...I'm def gonna be craving this one often :)
Sean GanannJanuary 30, 2010"This Way" or "That Way" you really can't go wrong with the roast beef. Better yet grab a friend and go both ways.
Sandwiches are smaller, no broccoli rabe anymore, AND is it me or did they move the counter to the right side?!?!? Seems the place is shrinking :(
The Pastrami here is better than Katz's, with none of the obscure incantations needed.- Ask them to drizzle some au jus on your That Way sandwich. Sublime.
