Words can’t describe this heavenly deli. It’s definitely worth the wait for the matzo ball soup and roast beef sandwich. A warm atmosphere and large portions satisfies diners at a reasonably good pric

Deliciously deep-fried garlicky hot dog best topped with crispy pastrami bits, sauerkraut and cheddar cheese! Feel free to get creative with your dog!

Came here via 4aq recommendations. Matzo soup was different, but enjoyed it. Then moved on to the Brooklyn and kniswich. Kniswich was way outside the box, and was pleasantly surprised. great place!

I have yet to have anything here that wasn't Fantastic. Breakfast wraps and soups are delicious,the pastrami is at least as good as Katz's if not better (try the riverside)Fries r simple but Amazing

As an UWS-er, I don't know what I'd do without Lansky's. It's my go-to restaurant. I've been going since it opened, and I've never had a bad meal. An UWS staple. You won't regret it!

Great traditional deli in the Upper West Side. Huge large and diverse menu and huge sandwiches. Try the Oreo shake for dessert if you're still hungry.

Best Jewish soul food in town. Matzoh balls (almost) like your mom and grandma made em....and the pastrami is absolute perfection. And on top of that, very moderately priced!

Get the UWS sandwich (chicken livers and corned beef with onion and tomato) and ask for xtra 1000 island. The cole slaw is amazing. And get a chocolate egg cream.

I love Lansky's but be weary of Sunday brunch; it gets slammed. Don't hold it against them if it takes a little longer to get everything. It gets kinda crazy. Best thing to do is come in and order out

After eating your weight in traditional Jewish Deli food (yum), get the Lucky's Favorite Sundae: vanilla gelato, chocolate sauce & matzo butter crunch. AMAZING!!

This may be my new favorite place for brunch. We had no wait, great service that wasn't pushy, and unlimited drinks. Love it!

Recommend any of their salads: huge,healthy,reasonable,tasty. Note:they serve fresh cole slaw and pickles at table as gratis appetizer. Save yr appetite. Def.ask for beer specials,tho. Bargain.

One of NYC's best and cheapest kosher delis. Try the matzo ball soup for $4.50 & the pastrami, tomato and grilled cheddar on rye for $9.25. Read more

Strawberry butter is amazing! But don't get the breakfast sausage. It tastes like play-doh.

Come for great food and sandwiches. Stay for Sinatra and ragtime on the radio.
Vivek RatkalkarSeptember 11, 2011
Bottomless brunch cocktails! Mimosas and Bellinis are great!
Scott HeckingbottomDecember 31, 2012
Worst. Service. Ever. After we ordered, at least three other tables came in, ordered and got their drinks and meals, including some of the items we ordered, before we got anything. No tip for you!!!!

The mac and cheese nosh is cheap and really good. The perfect portion.

Half off shakes 3-5pm!!! That in combo with their $10 half sandwich and salad makes a great deal

They never remember orders for fries. Make sure you double check with your waiter to make sure the order goes in.
Scott HeckingbottomDecember 31, 2012
Explained to server and manager that drinks hadn't come in 45 mins and tables coming in after us already got the same drinks, not apologetic at all, cancelled meals and left, very disappointing!
