- Caitlin StrandbergNovember 21, 2011You HAVE to go here. Pastrami sandwich, mustard. That's it. Bring cash ($15/sandwich) and split a sandwich if you're not starving. It's amazing. AMAZING. And ppl love the Harry Met Sally thing.
- Ardavan BeiguiNovember 3, 2017The experience is cool, but it's extremely crowded, the wait is long, the meat is fat (I couldn't finish) and $25 for a sandwich is expensive. It's worth doing at least once I guess, because it's FUN!
- Ghaida✨May 5, 2023The pastrami sandwich is very delicious😍! But it's big for one person so you can share it, and don't miss the french fries👌
- Fatou BahApril 8, 2015They give you samples of the meats. Your eyes are definitely bigger than your appetite here. They also have pickled tomatoes. Heavenly.

- Virginia BleiJuly 2, 2019Loved the Sandwich pastrami on the rye. Little bit pricey, but you can easily share!

- Bill B.June 7, 2011Hand sliced pastrami, put on rye bread, warm, fresh, and with a generous shmear of brown mustard. And of course, you've gotta have some sour pickles and a cream soda. It is a classic combo.
- Damian BayonaJuly 10, 2016You could put that brown mustard in a glass and I would drink it 👌. Plenty of seating in the back around from the counters
