Definitely a must try in Greenpoint! Placed an order online via their website about 10 minutes before I arrived, waited a couple minutes for it all to be ready and left super happy with my experience! On a busy Sunday morning I was surprised at how quickly they were fulfilling orders. Brisket egg and cheese had an amazing cheese pull, hot gooey and delicious 9/10. The Turkey club was maybe the winner of the two, might have been the russian dressing which isn't the norm for a club sandwhich, but it was a perfect combo 10/10. Heard theirs usually long lines... so definitely recommend the ordering ahead!

Super little Delicatessen in the middle of Greenpoint with very tasty Pastrami and great service.Actually stopped by on a whim, since another spot further north had a ridiculously long line out the door and we weren't willing to wait that long - whereas Frankel's was full, but we only had to wait 10 minutes for our food here.I'd been meaning to try another Delicatessen in NYC beyond Katz for some time, and Greenpoint always has excellent food. So this was an easy choice for lunch.The only reason this isn't a 5-star review, is the price - my pastrami sandwich cost $23. Pretty steep.But on the plus side, the food is delicious and the portions are quite good - so I guess you could look at it as actually buying two smaller sandwiches for $11.50 each.The staff are super friendly and helpful, and service is decently quick. And if you're patient, you can score a couple of seats by the window and people-watch while you enjoy your meal.It may not be as iconic as Katz, but it's an excellent place to stop for some good pastrami, in a fun neighborhood. Definitely recommend.

I've been here quite a few times and I've never left feeling very impressed. There is definitely a type of cult following for Frankel's and I've tried to believe them so bad with no luck yet. I've mostly ordered their breakfast and specialty sandwiches. Most recently I got their BEC with scallion cream cheese on a plain bagel. They are generous with their fillings which is what got them to a 4 from a 3 for me. There's nothing BAD about this spot but nothing very special to me. Their scallion cream cheese just tastes like plain cream cheese. It's a bit bland. I've also ordered their $14 chicken salad in the past and it was the tiniest container I've ever seen and tasted extremely plain. Looking back at the times I've come is honestly making me want to give a 3 star, but I'll stay where I'm at for now.Service here is generally good, they have really kind employees. It's a bit of a frustrating experience ordering in person because it gets SO crowded, but ordering ahead online is always a good idea!

Top tier open-faced bagels. Frankel's is now one of my top three favorite bagel spots in NYC. I wish I lived closer to Greenpoint, but I'm willing to make the trek for these bagels. *The Tartare w. Dill CC on Onion BagelI don't normally splurge on a lox bagel, but this one is worth every penny of it. Salmon tartare on bagel is a game changer and I'm still dreaming about it. You can choose your own cream cheese for this bagel sandwich. I find dill cream cheese usually goes well with salmon and I highly recommend this combo. *Heirloom Tomato on Sesame BagelHeirloom tomato really makes all the difference -- the sliced tomato is incredibly juicy and sweet. It comes with scallion cream cheese and herbs. Very fragrant and flavorful. *Anita's Hot Brisket on Griddled ChallahMy bf gave his highest praise on this lunch sandwich. They really don't skimp on the braised brisket -- the sandwich is so hefty and thick! Meat is juicy and you can drizzle hot sauce for an extra kick of heat. The challah is well toasted and buttery.

Such a good bagel sandwich! The Nettie was everything I craved for a morning bite. I never had pickled beets in a lox bagel before. Now, I'll be craving them in my future bagel sandwiches. Service is quick. Bar tops are easy to enjoy your sandwich at if you don't have a big group. Highly recommend!

I come here whenever tomatoes are in season for the tomatoes on a bagel with salt, pepper and olive oil and it is to die for!! So perfect every time, if they tomatoes aren't good they won't sell them which can be a bummer but ultimately I prefer that they are super seasonal to be perfect every time. My fiancé always gets the pastrami and absolutely loves it as well. There is often a line but it moves fast and the servers are friendly. I've also had a hot dog here that was really good and just classic nyc hot dog.

Talk about a bagel! These are huge! Does one person really finish one? My husband got the pastrami and loved it. Said he heard it was one of the best, so of course he had to try it. Unlike me; he finished the whole thing. I ordered the classic nova. I like a cold bagel sandwich in the morning, refreshing and doesn't make me feel so full and tired after. Tons of cream cheese which I like too! It's a cute little shop, but enough space for you to pick a spot and eat your bagel. Will definitely come again next time we're in town.

Busy on the weekend but great to kickstart a foodie tour in Brooklyn! We waited ~10-15 minutes but it went by fast. Even past brunch hours, Frankel's was bustling and packed!

A classic but updated Jewish deli. We stopped by for a quick breakfast. It was busy with an even heavier take-out order business. Our wait was less than 10 minutes.We got the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese and bacon, egg, and cheese. Tasty and well priced but darn light on the meats.Enjoy!Damages for two with coffees and tip was $45.

First up on the list we had this Pastrami, Egg, and Cheese on a Challah Roll, absolutely loved it, it was soft, the meat was tender, and the eggs were so fluffy. The Frankel's #1 Bagel has pastrami salmon, and the classic toppings, I would prefer less cucumber next time as I thought it took away from the salmon, but still a decent bagel. Lastly, the Pastrami Reuben was toasted to perfection, melty Swiss cheese, and and the pastrami once again was incredibly tender, warm, and juicy.
