Description

Inside this clean, old-style spot, the counter staff joke with regulars and pile sandwiches high, serving classics like tongue and hot pastrami alongside free pickles and coleslaw. The menu extends to matzo ball soup, pastas, and sesame chicken. While counter staff are friendly, some diners note that service can be slow and pricing is on the higher side.
