This wonderful deli never disappoints! We stopped by for lunch and loved every bite - even the ones we took home! The square knish are the BEST that you will find outside of NYC. Friendly staff, real good food and the ambiance of a NYC deli without the crankiness. Try it, you'll love it! read more

Wow! While in Scranton on business, the I visited Abe's Kosher Delicatessen & Restaurant for lunch. This downtown Electric City eatery has a NYC vibe, complete with somewhat unfriendly staff - not a smile to be had. So why the wow? Their Reuben made with a mix of corned beef and pastrami, NY style (10oz) may very well have been the best reuben I've eaten. The rye bread was perfectly toasted, moist and not dry. The meat was incredibly flavorful and tender, and the sauerkraut was plentiful, with the perfect balance of tang and flavor. It was an easy 10 out of 10. If you don't care about friendly service, but are looking for an awesome sandwich in Scranton, this place is for you. read more

Thanks to my fellow Yelpers I was able to find an authentic Jewish deli on my way to NYC in Scranton Pa, our midpoint. We stopped for lunch. There is street parking near this more than one hundred year old business. Step back in time, take a seat and wait to be amazed both by the food and the wait staff. There are plenty of old favorites like corned beef and Rueben sandwiches (they are huge!), knishes, smoked whitefish matzo ball soup and pastrami (are you hungry yet?!) and also middle eastern delights. Since I am a sucker for Middle Eastern food, I ordered the Middle Eastern sampler, which given its price was less food than the Middle Eastern platter. It was enough food for an entire day. Of course, I had to eat it all and could barely eat dinner that night. I had a choice of two salads, and selected the chick pea and the quinoa, both with enormous portions. This was served with baba ghanoush, hummus and very fluffy and delicious pita bread. My husband just had to try the potato pancakes in addition to his Vegetarian Platter, and we were served three pancakes the size of my head so I felt obligated to eat one. Perfect! The food was great and our waitress was very helpful, explaining the various tributes to The Office around town after we inquired. On our way in, we passed by Dunder and Mifflin streets! The restaurant most likely has not changed since it opened in 1908. Scranton is lucky to have such a great place! read more

We noticed that this place is highly rated so we picked up sandwiches on our way to ski at Montage. The service was friendly and speedy. My husband ordered a Smokey turkey sandwich on rye and I ordered the most popular everything bagel sandwich with smoked salmon, capers and lto. The sandwiches were very good but we would make adjustments when ordering again. The turkey sandwich needed a deli mustard and the everything bagel had caraway seeds which overpowered the sandwich. I wanted a salt bagel but the deli does not make them. Overall we were quite happy with our and look forward to our next sandwich. read more

Wonderful breakfast. The servers were very pleasant and accommodating. A previous reviewer said they were rude but that was not our experience. read more

Reuben is worth the money and street parking. Nice place, friendly and clean. Quality meats that have great flavor.

The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the place was cozy but had plenty of seating.

Had a good corned beef sandwich with a Dr Brown Black Cherry Excellent service and food. read more

Delicious Deli!!!! I was in the area for work, so I popped in here based on previous reviews. Well I am glad I did. I started with a cup of matzah ball soup, delicious! Then I had the Turkey Pastrami Reuben, and it was FANTASTIC! Jam packed with thinly sliced/shaved meat, and the rye was toasted perfectly. The experience was even better because the staff were super friendly. If I am in the area again, I will definitely visit again! read more

I ordered a burger with fries and it was phenomenal. Cooked to perfection. The young lady who took my order was very pleasing to speak to and the service was like 5 stars without the pish posh bs . The first thing to stick out to me when I entered the deli was how clean and fresh it felt walking in. read more

Abe's is simply the best for true deli sandwiches! Never disappointed since I began to go to Abe's in 1973. We were neighbors doing business downtown! Still the best read more

Restaurant Review time... this one in Scranton, PA. This is a kosher deli called Abe's. #abesdelicatessen and is a quaint little shop with tables on one side and a counter on the other. Reasonably priced for the high quality ingredients! Here's the corned beef with mustard on rye and the vegetarian sampler with falafel! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. Thanks! And Shalom ;-) #gourmetrecovery read more

Great little deli in downtown Scranton. Service is very friendly. They are attentive, but not annoyingly so! Lots of regulars come here. Be careful of street parking as it is metered, but the meters are only every so often. We weren't familiar with this meter method, and thought street parking was free--this was corrected by a $35 parking ticket! Yikes! Hubby had one of their triple decker sandwiches. It was served with coleslaw that had thousand island dressing on top. That was a new way of serving coleslaw to us. Ask for the mustard for your sandwich. I had the middle eastern sampler. Served with the fluffiest pita I've ever had. Both meals were very tasty. read more

Stopped here on our road trip- wanted a nice regular place and this place is that. Filled with regulars and really nice efficient service. The fries with gravy were a huge hit ( we don't eat that in NY) and the pastrami Reuben's were amazing. My son enjoyed his corned beef Reuben and commented that he learned cheese was not necessary for a good Reuben. I had the "rare roast beef" sandwich and honestly would've expected it rarer and more thinly sliced so wasn't overly thrilled with it. But the rye bread was soft and delicious and I bought a loaf to go, as well as bagels because I doubt we'll get good bagels in TN! Great place, highly recommend. read more

What a treasure! We stopped in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. Had yummy bagels and lox, and an order of blintzes for good measure. Everything was made to order and absolutely delicious. The coffee and tea are standard diner style, nothing fancy, but you can stop at Northern Lights if you want a cappuccino or loose-leaf tea. Extra-friendly service, too. We really enjoyed our visit to Abe's. read more

Food and service was Fantastic! Highly recommend this place! My Wife and I love this place. The Food, the atmosphere. They make you really feel at home. read more

Service is amazing, food is amazing, location is great, cleanliness is spot on. I eat here at least once a week!

Ok 10oz pastrami sandwich, but nothing special. Just sliced meat on bread with brown mustard, although I requested no mustard. Extremely expensive for what it was...$18. Came with homemade pickles that were downright disgusting with a strong chemical flavor. read more

I had the best Reuben sandwich ever at Abe's. The next time I go traveling across the country, I'll be stopping by Abe's.

Stopped in here randomly after Yelping out a place to eat in Scranton whilst visiting Steamtown. It was a short walk (±20min) thru DT Scranton to get here from Steamtown and we're always down to get our steps. Unassuming little place run by a friendly man (Abe?) who we actually met while paying the check. The décor is what one would expect to find at a typical diner and the waitresses themselves seemed shipped straight from the Big Apple itself―sans the attitude. When at a NY-style deli ordering a Reuben ($9/6oz) is a must. And what's a Reuben without a knish ($2.5) on the side? The Reuben was quite spectacular. It wasn't piled high like one might see at Katz's, but the sandwich as a whole was simply glorious. The star of the show, as it should be, was the juicy, well-flavored house-made pastrami. It was easily one of the best sandwiches I'd had in a long while. The knish was served with a schprtiz of deli mustard (ofc) and it was fried-up perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and gooey in the middle. Overall, great experience. Fantastic food, great prices and terrific service makes this a good choice to grab a bite when visiting Scranton. read more

Kosher in Scranton? Deserves your support as an area tribe member. Vacationing in Gouldsboro at Big Bass Lake. Went earlier this week. But ate at Abe's with my parents about 50 years ago. Different owner, not really kosher, but Jew food of good quality. read more

The food was delicious and I really enjoyed their special. The service was good and I liked the outdoor seating.

Delicious lunch at 130 pm on a work day. Server was wonderful and very peppy! Sandwiches are delicious. We got the 6 oz size. Hot corned beef - fantastic. Most popular pastrami and corned beef sandwich - served hot- was terrific. Finger licking good. We got an order of the potato pancakes and they were great. Make sure to eat the pickles and cole slaw. Gosh those pickles are good. We took some home. And you never go wrong with a Dr. Brown's soda. Just delicious! Two happy thumbs up! read more

We had a delicious meal with matzah ball soup and a corned beef sandwich. The staff was friendly.

Very tasty food in somewhat small portions. Small bowls for the chicken soup which contained only broth (very good broth) and what looked like Lipton pkg soup noodles. The rye bread for the sandwiches was on the small side and so was the portion of potato salad. When I spend over $42 (including tip) for lunch for two and walk away still a bit hungry something ain't right. read more
