Carshon's

The food is excellent and the service is just as good. Wish it was closer to me to visit more

Carshon's is an old Jewish deli in the Near Southside Neighborhood. It's excellent, a true Fort Worth staple! They are CASH ONLY, so be prepared for that. Also, they get busy, so you may have to wait, but it's worth it. I've really enjoyed everything I've had there, and I definitely look forward to going back.

This is an iconic deli in Fort Worth -- Carshon's has been operating in Fort Worth since 1928. It's certainly not a fancy spot, there aren't even windows in the main dining area, but the food is affordable and consistently, predictably delicious. And those baked goods... the lemon bars? Pie of the day? Come on. The menu is classic Jewish deli with all our favorites like pastrami, corned beef, lox with cream cheese, knockwurst, roast beef, egg salad, kosher hot dogs, matzo ball soup, and much much more. They're famous for their "Rachel" sandwich (corned beef and smoked turkey, melted Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on rye bread, grilled) and the "Rebecca" (pastrami, cream cheese, smoked turkey, and Russian dressing layered on three pieces of egg bread, grilled). How does one choose?? Jon had a little of both by ordering the Rachel on egg bread. Since I can't eat gluten I ordered the "build your own plate" where you basically choose 1 protein/main and 2 sides. I got the egg salad with potato salad and baked beans, very starchy choices hahah, but so good. Everything was delicious, clean, simple, quality, homemade food. The mustardy potato salad was so close to what I grew up eating.Our waitress was so sweet and food comes out fast. You'll be given a ticket then you pay at the register upfront. Don't forget to tip your server and buy a lemon bar or brownie to go.

I picked up my order at this charming Jewish deli last week. It's cool to know that this deli has been in existence for almost a century. I got their half smoked Turkey sandwich which came with a pickle, pickles (salt and vinegar chips), lemon bars and picked up some sour apple hard candies. The prices are affordable and the portions are decent as well. The smoked Turkey was fresh and flavorful on its own, however I'll try it with mustard next time. The pickle was flavorful and paired well with the sandwich. The chips were yummy and the lemon bars were heavenly. The sour apple candies were yummy as well. I look forward to my next visit. The service was friendly and I didn't have to wait long to check out. The atmosphere appears casual and homey. Carshon's deli only accepts cash.

"Hole in the wall" deli with counter service for buying meat and fish by the pound and a sit down ordering restaurant as well. Simple, clean decor of concrete floors and white walls. Deli style menu with super large portions of corned beef, pastrami, & turkey sandwiches. They also have other sandwiches such as bologna, tongue, sardines and lox spread on bagels (among others). My husband and I could have split a sandwich (he would eat 3/4 and me 1/4). They also offer salad plates such as egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, etc. We ended with cappuccino ice cream pie, which I highly recommend. If you know you'll order this--order with your sandwich to allow it to soften. Highly recommend and will return to try other things, including breakfast.

This sanwish always takes me back to when I lived in Bwosten. Could only eat half, so this will be my dinna. So delish... Oye vey!

We were extremely turned off by the ice queen that we had to endure up front. She really needs to go hang out behind a curtain or something...or fix her face.....SOMETHING!. My husband and I shared a sandwich bc we were so put off by the energy that this place had to offer, which was none. The toasted blah sandwich was overpriced and quite underwhelming. The lovely Latina waitress was the only ray of sunshine that this place had to offer.There is no need to ever come back to deal with a dragon upon arrival and forgettable food.

If you want one of the best sandwiches you have ever tasted, Carshon's is the place. My mom and I went for lunch and had the corned beef and pastrami sandwich. The service is fast and friendly, and the ambiance is nice.

Carshon's Deli has been a staple in Fort Worth forever! I have been many times for sandwiches that are stacked so high with meat you can barely bite them. It is a must do when you are in their area.

UPDATE! I came back and tried the Rueben. Fantastic! These people make a mean sandwich! I tried a bag of the bagel chips, and they were ok. And I took home 4 pieces of strawberry delight! Today, when I left the doctors office, I stopped by and grabbed 3 strawberry delights for the hotel room. I've got to figure out this recipe! If you haven't been to Carshon's, listen to Guy...GO!
