Patrick BaskinJanuary 15, 2017Old school diner and sandwich shop, solid pancakes and breakfast sandwiches
Scott BurdickMay 30, 2013Sit at the counter and order a hot pastrami on rye, add mustard and enjoy the old school charm of this place
Great cheap hearty breakfasts. Best chicken cutlet sandwich I've ever had in my life. You'll never have a cutlet so juicy.
A true New York landmark. I always leave Eisenberg's satisfied and a few pounds heavier
Jonathan RobinsonJune 26, 2013Great classic NY greasy spoon. Been around for ages. And they make one heck of breakfast sandwich
Craig TurpinOctober 16, 2011You can't go wrong with anything the menu but what I love is the Pastrami corner beef swiss & slaw. Great breakfasts too.
Jeff PetrielloAugust 7, 2014A basic, solid grilled cheese and tomato soup. That's what the atmosphere is like too. Classic ny.
Arjumand BonhommeAugust 19, 2014Friendly staff. Good selection of custom salads/pasta/sandwiches. Hot food bar and baked desserts.
Paul BerardinoAugust 9, 2011This is one restaurant where virtually everything on the menu is delicious. Also, the egg creams and the milkshakes are excellent!
The onion rings and tuna melt on rye with cheddar will change your life. DO IT
Marianne CiminoMarch 25, 2014this looks just a bit like a smaller place I went for coffee on the Lower East Side when I worked on Mott Street years agi
Justin OrdovezaSeptember 19, 2014A small hole in the wall place the tuna melt is a run of the mill sandwich. Nothing great but not bad either.
Daniel HMay 14, 2013If you have a sweet tooth, get the apple pie a la mode and either an egg cream or Lime Rickey.
Pastrami eggs platter was nice. Music and vibe were great.
I AmosApril 25, 2013One of the shockingly few places you can get grits in this town, believe it or not. Also, Cel-Ray soda.
James LFebruary 12, 2020It really shows its age. But if you can get past the dust and grime of the place, the reuben is fairly good.

James MullanyMarch 26, 2015Tuna melt, hot pastrami. Sit at the bar and you'll smell like grease for the rest of the day
