Tony Magturo: Had great sandwich (The Shwartzy), good Matzah Ball Soup, excellent Carrot Cake and get the Foursquare check-in special (Homer's Ice Cream Samples - Peach is delicious)!
Roosevelt Collection: Great breakfast served all day. Authentic Jewish Deli, known for friendly service and Homemade Matzo Ball Soup. Try “Ruben’s Rueben Sandwich” – named after the Owner, who is also an RC resident!
Benjamin Cohen: You can't go wrong with some matzoh ball soup, corned beef and fries.
@MrMichaelFarah: Stands up next to any corned beef on the planet. The Best Order: 1/2 Corned Beef on rye with matzoh ball soup and a potato pancake (add applesauce)
Chris Broyles: Potato cakes, matzoh ball soup and hot corned beef on rye as well as hob-nobbing w/the politicos -- just make sure you call a cab from Flash before you're done! (via Scoville) Read more.
Rick Bendix: Delicious soups - both matzo ball and kreplach. The Turkey Pastrami sandwich is outstanding, but half a sandwich is plenty when combined with soup and a potato pancake

Lexi W: Staff here is amazing. They make my meal in under 8 mins. My favorites: chicken enchilada soup, turkey flats, and the sugar cookie!
Heather Folsom: This is the "Italian"... Supposedly 4 types of meat plus provolone are on this sandwich. I..I just don't see it. At least the coffee smoothie was creamy & delicious.
Kevin M Sampson: I really only ever get the Uptown salad here. Very sweet, candied walnuts, cranberries, Apple slices, and chicken make this a (hopefully) healthy choice for lunch!
