What diners are saying
Diners are awestruck by the colossal portion sizes at this NY-style deli, frequently noting that a single sandwich can easily feed three to four people. The pastrami is a standout favorite, celebrated for being tender, thinly sliced, and flavorful, often paired with fresh rye bread. Guests also enjoy the unique pickle bar and nostalgic, old-school atmosphere, though some mention the decor is showing its age. While prices are high, the friendly service and "Man vs. Food" experience make it a memorable stop for large groups.
