3.0 of 5 stars. I've learned to temper my eating habits here. It used to be a whole pastrami dip along with wet fries. Now, it's just half-eaten pastrami and shared wet fries. My heart thanks me for it.

Good pastrami, I guess

The deli-style sandwiches are good, but pretty greasy. If you're going to get one, I recommend wasing it down with a large Orange B@ng and some chili cheese fries.

Great Pastrami, But Overpriced at $6.29

As mentioned, it's the leanest, thinnest, juiciest, yummiest pastrami around - but at $6.29 a la carte - no sides, no coleslaw, no green salad, no table service - it's way too expensive. Our family used to be...

Pastrami & Chili Fries

Absolutely the best pastrami -- ever! And don't forget the chili fries. An extra large order of fries with at least 12 ounces of their greasy chili scooped on. A "widow-maker" for sure. YUM!
