Schreiber’s On Rye

1. Best latkes in town- flavorful, crispy on outside, soft in the middle. (Served with sour cream but wish there was a little side of applesauce, too.)2. Amazing Rachel (Reuben but uses turkey and coleslaw instead of beef and kraut) The toasted Rye was delicious and the ingredients were perfectly balanced. I could taste the dressing, and it was a neat sandwich that could be picked up without falling apart. 3. Half sour pickles- yes! 4. Matzah ball soup- flavorful and good ball consistency. I'm not used to having chicken in my matzah ball soup, and would rather more carrots or even parsnips. That's just matter of preference, though. Just as with the.....5. Knish- I've come to realize there are two different types of knishes. I prefer the round bread dough with potato in the center , but here they serve the fried square kind.

After my lunch of dumplings from the dumpling lady and carrying a bag of dog treats from Pet Wants, I remembered that I needed to bring something for Mrs. K. When Schrieber's caught my eye, I was set.A few minutes later, I have a bag with a can of Dr. Browns and a freshly wrapped potato knish. It arrived home still warm and inside, a small pot of spicy mustard. It was very much appreciated and absolutely delicious.Lots of other great New York deli options here including Matzo Ball Soup, Reubens, Pastrami on rye and more. Even some meatless options for those who don't eat bacon or other protein! Fabulous![Review 1807 of 2024 - 3724 in North Carolina - 22829 overall]

Another hit for Optimist Hall! Schreiber's on Rye describes itself as an authentic Jewish Deli cut from the same cloth as the ones you would find in New York. Now I am not a native New Yorker, so I will have to defer to someone with more knowledge on whether or not they are truly authentic. What I can say is that I had a delicious sandwich here as well as some warm and hearty matzo ball soup which really hit the spot. If you are like me and enjoy a seeded bun then I highly recommend the Bourdain. It's stacked with mortadella and provolone cheese. It also has a tasty Dijon mustard spread. Their menu is mostly centered around sandwiches but they also have hot dogs and some classic deli sides. Nothing flashy, but if you are looking for a solid lunch I recommend stopping in for a sandwich. I know I will be back to sample some more.

OMG! Tried this place yesterday and it was so good. I got a traditional Reuben and it was perfectly grilled. The corned beef was tender and it was the perfect amount of sloppy. I opted for a side of potato latkes. They were good size and made from shredded potatoes which made it nice and crunchy on the edges. It comes with a small container of sour cream which was the perfect complement. They also had Dr Browns diet black cherry soda. I'm not a big soda fan but this is my favorite so it was a pleasant surprise. Optimist Hall was not super crowded when we got there so we had no problems finding a spot to eat. Highly recommend!

This is located in the Optimist hall; the staff were very nice and friendly. The menu was nice and simple, so I went with the bacon, egg, and cheese on a poppyseed kosher roll, and it was delicious. If it were not an hour and a half away from where I live, I would go there and get it every day.

Located inside of Optimist Hall, this is a NY Deli. All the sandwiches appear to be served on homemade rye bread. I did not have a sandwich (even tho they looked so good!). They had matzo ball soup, and I was so excited that I just had to try it! I opted for no added chicken but it usually comes with shredded chicken (per the chef). I will definitely be back!!

As close to a real NYC deli you can get. The Pastrami totally rocks. They also have knishes & Dr Browns

A solid sandwich each time I've visited. This time I went with the 57, potato salad and salt & vin chips - slapped so hard. The potato salad was a little mustard heavy and smooth bites which I enjoyed. The sandwich had the tough bite bread (but in a good way!) and awesome balance of flavors. Based on time of order, I didn't haven't to wait long. Excited to try the entire menu!

The prices are insane. Food costs are not high enough to justify those portions for close to 20 dollars! Katz deli in nyc is only a few dollars more expensive and they absolutely load your sandwich with house made pastrami/corned beef, and they're paying nyc operating costs... idk what the excuse is here. There are plenty of authentic delis in charlotte that charge much less and give you an actual portion of meat with your sandwich. And you usually get a pickle and chips/drink at that price. Somebody is smoking crack or is out of touch with what prices should be. I don't expect this place to be here much longer, when most of their potential customers wouldn't want to waste money so frivolously.

Best corn beef sandwich that I've eaten in a very long time! This stands up to the best from coast to Coast.
