Everything 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

Jenni Russell

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.

Lauren Smith

Monster portions and great ingredients - can be a little pricey as a result but worth it. Definitely ask for a seat by the windows.

Knish 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

Pastrami , 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 .

I 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 .

Awesome 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 Gayer

Easy 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:)

Sandwiches are ridiculously big. I recommend sharing and getting the potatoe pancakes . We sat in the same spot as Barak Obama :)

Walter Patrun

Anything is good but my favorites are "the Franklin" (Corned Beef and Pastrami ) for lunch or dinner or the omelet for breakfast (6 eggs ).

Deborah Carey

Portions for the super hungry!! Fresh & delicious sandwiches !! Don’t visit center city Philly without stopping at 4th Street!

Marla Rogers

Knishes, pastrami , blintzes, pickles , tongue , everything we tried was amazing!

Howard Blumenthal

Super sandwiches and great omelettes . And you can't go wrong with potato pancakes for your side.

Aman Charyev

Pastrami on rye ! So tender and juicy . Big portions

Vidas

One 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 Rastetter

The hot pastrami sandwich . THE END. This thing is huge and so delicious. Philly is lucky to have it.
