Once Upon A Deli

TBR, The Brutal Review, an eat-and-tell about a really good deli whose soups I can't wait to try. 6/14/2022: First visit. I only bought some nice, soft, big, doughy, pleasingly mild-flavored onion and garlic bagels. They were very-very-good enough for a return. Staff was genuinely great: polite, honest in their recommendations, and overall nice people. Quip: printed catering menu was available but regular menu was only displayed (a) on the chalkboard behind the workers and (b) the website, via pdf. Staff apologized for not having hard copies out. 6/16/2022: Second visit. The following were ordered: Hot lean corned beef on a pumpernickel bagel and Hot turkey pastrami on rye, each NY style, specifically with mustard packets but sans slaw, salad and pickle; Breakfast sandwich with egg, ham, bacon and the default American "cheese" (I forgot to ask for cheddar, or Swiss, or Muenster, or...); Potato pancakes which came with a side of applesauce; and Cajun curly fries. Service just as excelle

My corned beef sandwich was tasty,I asked for horseradish, first I was told, no ,we don't have any, then, yes we have some, I get enough for maybe 2 bites ,go back and ask for more, I was told we can give some, but if you want more it's a extra charge, WOW ,$15 dollar sandwich, less than half the size it use to be ,I always tip ,I shouldn't have because the girl was rude taking my order, won't be back.

So so so impressed by this deli! Went for lunch one day since it's near my work and I got the corn beef sandwich. I got it New York style and there was so much meat. Very lean too which was an added bonus. Everything was fresh and it didn't take them long to make it. Maybe ten mins tops. Would definitely recommend and go back!
