Finally tried this little Deli! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the sandwiches are delicious and very filling. I got number 20, which is turkey, coleslaw and thousand Island dressing. My mom got corned beef with mustard. We both got the four oz size and they were more than enough. They both come with two different kinds of pickles. I'll definitely be back. It was a great lunch and the service was welcoming and kind.

Excellent pastrami sandwich, the sauerkraut is perfectly balanced and the portions are more than generous. Also a big fan of the matzo ball soup. Huge matzo and really great broth. I come here every Friday for my work from home lunch run and am always satisfied and in need of a nap afterward. Great food, great service, and great prices. Love the place!

Ordered corned beef on grilled onion bun with onion rings. Cost aprx. $25 but was enough for 2 days. The grilled bun just topped it off. Delicious! Onion rings were big and crispy.

I used to come here 30 years ago when I lived nearby. It is owned by different people now, but still very clean, and well run. I would come back again. One of my favorite places to get a great sandwich.

Stopped at "The Original" Bread Basket Deli (as opposed to "the Bread Basket Deli chain restaurants," according to their web site) recently for the first time in a number of years. The place has gone through some dramatic changes, most (sorry to say) not for the better. Back in the day, Bread Basket was a popular, busy spot with ample table seating and wait staff. Now, it has gone down to a small number of tables, and no wait staff. Instead, orders are placed with a very friendly employee behind a plexiglass wall. Instead of excellent dill pickles and condiments brought to the table, you will need to ask for any condiment (such as mustard) that you require, and a meager, not great, pickle slice accompanies the meal. Prices have shot up through the roof: a 4 oz. (small) pastrami sandwich, which I ordered, will set you back $12.79. If you want it lean, add another $1.50 (not really needed - mine was lean enough). Onion or Kaiser rolls are also available - for an extra 75 cents. I ordered a side of cole slaw, and that cost $3 for a half pint, $2.25 for a "mini (not sure which one we got, but it was a decently-sized portion)" - quite tasty. No argument about the taste of the food: the pastrami was decent quality and an adequate size. The co-diner got the corned beef, and was satisfied with the taste. Overall, alas, the atmosphere was sufficiently oppressive (and depressing) that the dining experience was greatly diminished. Not only has the ambiance deteriorated, the menu has added a "you buy - we fry" section, featuring such items as egg rolls, wing dings, and chicken strips (not exactly standard deli fare), sold in various quantities, with an extra charge (ranging from $1 to $4) for frying. Frankly, it would be better if the "frying" charge were just incorporated into the overall price. I am quite sure that anyone stopping in to pick up a meal would not expect to take their chicken strips home and deep-fry them themselves. The menu had boxes prominently proclaiming that the establishment accepts EBT in so many places as to be impossible to ignore. Once would probably have been enough. Someone forced to rely on public assistance for their food may wish to consider whether a $17.99 sandwich was a wise allocation of their resources. In sum, the 2 star rating for this restaurant may be mostly due to a combination of nostalgia, sympathy for the very nice staff, and less due to actual merit. Still, this Yelper can only wish the management and staff well.

What a difference a few weeks make I had the pastrami on rye as in my previous review a big mistake this time The pastrami I had on 05/08 /24 was straight-up dry cardboard each slice of meat I guess that's what it was dry as you know what could not eat it the texture of the meat was not normal this dog mess was TRASH. So my Dog ate the mess and by the way, he gives his thanks to all of the people involved in sending the mess out like this he enjoyed the mess. looking at the pictures you would think that it was fresh Buy at your own RISK will never return these places have fell completely off
