David SimpsonOctober 19, 2014Everything is good here. If your a fan of Nova Scotia Lox theirs is like butter. The mushroom barley soup is enough for 3 people. You always bring home leftovers. A bit pricey but worth it for quality
You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Sandwiches are huge and breakfast is served all day. Free pickles to start your meal and free chocolate chip cookies to end it.
- Monster portions and great ingredients - can be a little pricey as a result but worth it. Definitely ask for a seat by the windows.
Serious EatsAugust 22, 2011Knish Dog: Kosher hot dog jammed into a knish. Pretty good dipped in some whole grain mustard. Frankfurter: Garlicky natural casing all-beef dog with sauerkraut and brown mustard on a poppy seed bun. Read more
Suzanne OConnorAugust 17, 2021Pastrami, chopped chicken livers, and all things Jewish deli are great here. Breakfast lunch and dinner. Go off hours to beat the rush, it can be overrun by tourists.
Follow FoodieApril 5, 2011I find the sandwiches too large to be enjoyable but the pastrami is phenomonal. Also don't miss the pastrami salmon. The potato pancakes are crispy and delicious get a side of applesauce.- Michael DelligattiJuly 28, 2013Awesome Jewish deli food. A little pricey and odds are you won't finish your meal...but it will definitely taste good. Best corned beef and pastrami I've had anywhere.
- Josepha GayerMay 11, 2014Easy service in and out. We share one nova platter and added whitefish since portions are large and we're being conscious with our food these days:)
Philly.comAugust 3, 2014Russ Cowan, who has completely rehabbed the 82-year-old deli and upgraded the food to the level of his former Kibitz delis. Philadelphia finally has the makings of a great sit-down deli. Read more
mary bunceOctober 15, 2019Sandwiches are ridiculously big. I recommend sharing and getting the potatoe pancakes. We sat in the same spot as Barak Obama :)- Howard BlumenthalNovember 10, 2016Super sandwiches and great omelettes. And you can't go wrong with potato pancakes for your side.
Walter PatrunJuly 27, 2013Anything is good but my favorites are "the Franklin" (Corned Beef and Pastrami) for lunch or dinner or the omelet for breakfast (6 eggs).
Marla RogersOctober 21, 2017Knishes, pastrami, blintzes, pickles, tongue, everything we tried was amazing!
Deborah CareyAugust 16, 2019Portions for the super hungry!! Fresh & delicious sandwiches!! Don’t visit center city Philly without stopping at 4th Street!
VidasJanuary 11, 2010One of my top 5 breakfast/lunch places in the City. Challah French Toast, blintzes or an omelet (6 eggs!) are solid breakfast choices. Lunch time go for the classic Reuben with a side of pickles.
Brendan RastetterAugust 15, 2014The hot pastrami sandwich. THE END. This thing is huge and so delicious. Philly is lucky to have it.
This place is the ultimate treat when you are craving an authentic jewish deli in Philly.
King EyeballDecember 6, 2011Try the The Dekalb & Broadway Sandwich - HUGE. Under the Ungashtupt Sandwich menu. Romanian tender loin, onions and mushrooms
The kugel, brisket, kasha, and other Jewish delicacies here are amazing!
Tom FentonAugust 11, 2013A Better corned beef I have never had! Put this on your must try list and go ASAP!
Jahy TseJuly 18, 2012Got the cornbeef, not too shabby, coulda had more slaw and dressing for the pound of beef. Going for a pastrami next time...
Joel GoldmanJanuary 15, 2013Pastrami Reuben with a side of potato pancakes! Be sure to ask for apple sauce.
ChillyApril 17, 2010best french toast, best nova lox, best whitefish salad, best corned beef and best chocolate chip cookie. bring your appetite.
Jon GosierFebruary 10, 2012Try the Chef Salad - This salad is #GINORMOUS!!!!! I put it next to a bowl of fruit for scale.
