Food Quality
Pros:
"Some of the best homemade pastrami, brisket and corned beef you'll find anywhere."
"The food was so delicious! We had read about this place and it was rated #1, but you know you can't always believe what you read. I would definitely have to agree with that statement."
"Best pastrami on rye EVER."
"They make the best Pastrami Sandwiches!!!!"
"The matzoh ball soup is delish! Well seasoned!"
"Its pastrami sandwich (#5 on the menu) had the size of the sandwich from the 'Carnegie Deli' from the days by-gone but the taste was definitely better."
"The corned beef and the pastrami are yummy, yummy, yummy! Melts your mouth."
Cons:
"First: there was hardly any tongue on the sandwich...it was such a miniscule amount."
"The sandwich was terrible so bad that I couldn't eat it."
"sometimes I think the quality of the corned beef is not what I expect they need to step it up a little bit more."
"However, this particular day the meat was TERRIBLE 😞!!!! Well the CORN BEEF IT WAS SOOOO FATTY AND RUBBERY! BLAND TASTE I WASNT ABLE TO SWALLOW IT!"
"Second, there was barely any chopped liver on the sandwich...very disappointing also."
"Had a bacon cheeseburger. Tasted like meatloaf not a burger."
"Didn't taste good either. Not worth it."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The food is pricey but if you need something good without taking a gamble, it's worth it."
"You definitely get your money’s worth because their sandwiches are piled high and I was full past dinner time."
"The price was fair for the amount of food you get."
"I feel is it better than Katz's and 1/2 the price. Really worth the trip!"
"The portion was good, not extremely big like some other places, but enough…..the pickles were amazing."
"The bbbs pastrami corned beef brisket combo sandwich was the best I’ve had...ever."
"The meat just melts ....no joke....melts in your mouth."
Cons:
"For 33.00, I didn't get enough meat in my sandwich to justify the price."
"spent $43 on 4 sandwiches and asked for a plastic cup to pour snapple into and they had the ordacity to ask me for 5 cents for the cup."
"I ordered 2 sandwiches and they charged me $45."
"The sandwich was about a whopping $30 I asked for a side of pickles which I’m assuming was the additional $4 which total price was $34 smh and they don’t even give you your money’s WORTH."
"However for the price of 20 bucks I was expecting much more."
"Food isn't bad but a half of pickle not your choice of type and 20.00 for a sandwich and a can of soda is a bit much for the size of the sandwich."
"I love love hobbys but the price increase on the sandwiches are just ridiculous nobody should be charging over $30for a sandwiches."

Cons:
"The place just didn't seemed welcoming."
"The place seemed run down and depressing."

"Parking is a bit of a hassle but it was lunch time so my sure if it's always like that."
