I hate leaving reviews like this, but it has to be done. We tried breakfast at Goldstein's before checking their reviews and health score. I ordered a Bloody Mary, but nobody knew how to make one, so I canceled it. The bathrooms were stinky and full of flies, with a fly trap sitting on the sink. The counter looked like it had been wiped down with a dirty rag. Our omelets came out greasy, my wife's bacon was forgotten, and my utensil roll had no fork. My bacon, avocado, spinach, and tomato omelet had rock-hard avocado slices and undercooked bacon mixed with bacon bits. Potatoes were just okay but came with no condiments. I barely ate a few bites before I was too grossed out to continue. When I told the server, she just said, "I'll let them know," and still handed me the full check -- no apology or discount. We left cash and got out. Will never be back. Avoid at all costs. read more

Goldsteins Deli - Rock hard avocado and dirty omelette. - Delis Near Me - Kingston, Pennsylvania

A friend and I met here for lunch on a Wednesday. I had a French Dip and she had some kind of chicken sandwich. Both came with fresh cut fries, which were really good. We both enjoyed our sandwiches. I thought the French Dip could use a little more meat for the giant hoagie roll it's on though. Their selections of beers, ciders, etc for both take out and on their menu were great. They carry some really unique items I haven't seen around here. They also carry Rotunda Brewery beers, which is one of my favorites from Hershey, PA. Service was pretty good - it took a little bit to get our checks and then wait for her to come back to get our money. There is some parking behind the building, but there is also street parking. From our experience, we would definitely eat here again. read more

Welcome to our unofficial Sunday Funday Food review everyone. As per recent request by our follow Tyler from Chicago who wants to see sub videos I am compromising on this one and going sandwich, the classic corn beef Reuben. This was served on toasted rye bread, thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese, and loaded with corn beef. This comes with a side of fries, which I may say are fresh cut fries and you get a signature "Goldstein Deli" pickle. This was a very delicious Reuben, everything on this sandwich complimented each other. The bread had a perfect toast to it. Now a little about the service here, very professional, very welcoming from the time I walked into the door to the time I left. If you have not been here in a while for whatever reason, I recommend you all to go back.

Food was amazing & , my waitress/ bartender was amazing which is pretty usual here -- however, the MOD / man working deli (beard and beanie) was unbelievably rude -- to the staff and to the business. When a tap runs out maybe he should try to train his staff on how to change it instead of going "I don't fucking know maybe it's empty" and maybe after his 5 cigarette breaks (that he takes at the front entrance so the whole place smells likes cigarettes) he should wash his hands instead of going and interacting with all the deli food, regardless of the gloves the smell WILL be present and WILL contaminate the food he is working with. As someone who has been and is manager certified in food safety this is completely unacceptable and EXTREMELY unsanitary and unacceptable. read more

This is the worst food I've had in a long time. Everything came all mixed in a cardboard box, I mean the meal was in a box. The meat was so fatty and undercooked that I through it out. The potatoes and eggs even tasted like grease. The French toast was some bread I could even recognize, and dry as a bone. If you want breakfast save yourself the trouble and go some where else. read more

Great food, great service, and if you go in at the right time, live music. I've never been disappointed by the service. Nick and Katie are great! Best deli we've found in Kingston. read more

Hello there food believers. Today's show takes us to a little place located in Kingston Pa called Goldsteins Deli. I was just really in the mood for a good club sandwich. Now right off the bat I want to apologize for the audio. I was talking a little bit lower due to someone sitting right next to me and didn't want to bother anyone. Now It's nice to see a local deli opened on a Sunday. Now I got the ham and cheese club where they basically make to order, they cooked my bacon so when I got my sandwich it was hot and crispy. This was a very delicious sandwich, as you will see in the video it's a healthy packed club. I also ordered a side of macaroni salad which was made a little bit different from what I am use to, this was more dry, not super creamy however this had a delicious taste to it. Definitely recommend to all. Until next time be blessed and stay safe. Watch Our Video Review Premier 6/30/2023 https://youtu.be/PdbsFpK9Q6w read more

Prior to going, we had only ordered take out/door dash from Goldsteins. We were surprised at how many tables they have inside! We each had an amazing soup, and both of our sandwiches were delicious. Service was great! Parking is tight - there are a few spots out back, the rest is street parking. Definitely will be back. read more

An almost 6 month update: I tried this place again, and it just seems like they just can't get it right. I don't feel like writing an extensive review like last time, so I'll just show a picture of my 6 dollar burnt chips that were darker than the container, and they STILL thought it was okay to send them out. No quality control here which is sad because of the potential. read more

Goldsteins Deli - a box of sweet potato chips - Delis Near Me - Kingston, Pennsylvania

Just stopped for lunch,ordered a pastrami club on rye and my wife ordered a turkey reuben, no seeds on rye and no sauerkraut. My sandwich came on white toast, my wifes came out on SEEDED rye! Sent it back and they put it on white toast WITH sauerkraut and greasy french fries.....cole slaw wasn't anything to write home a out. $37.50 for a terrible lunch......it used to be good, never again.. read more

Got DoorDash delivery form here for the first time the other day! The sandwich was pretty good. I'm particular about roast beef and theirs was great. read more

OK first off to call this place a deli is laughable, it's a sub/ sandwich shop, not a deli! They use cold cuts not actual roasted turkey, real corn beef, or Pastrami! But where they excel is in their beer selection, and Strombolis and wings! The cheesesteak boli is delicious, as is the Deli Boli! Service is hit and miss, it gets busy, so you can sit at the bar with an empty beer glass for quite awhile, but overall it isn't horrible! Great Bolis and Wings and great beer, yeah sign me up! read more

Goldsteins Deli - Delis Near Me - Kingston, Pennsylvania

I went in yesterday for the first time, and ordered two sandwiches to go, one for then, and one for later. The second one was described this way on the menu: Chipotle Chicken & Avocado Melt Grilled chicken, Pepper Jack, and cheddar cheeses, avocado, fresh spinach, banana peppers, Roasted Red Peppers and chipotle mayo on grilled Sourdough Bread. $14.95+ What I got was a grilled chicken breast with no cheddar, no roasted red peppers, and NO avocado. The only reason I ordered the sandwich in the first place was for the promise of an avocado. It was in the title! For this, I paid $14.95, plus tax. Never again. The beer selection at the bar is good, though, so there's that. read more

I have had Deli all over the country, including the best of New York but I have to say this deli ranks up there with the best, and I'm not talking just in NE PA but all of the east cost. I just found them today and had one of THE best corned beef sandwiches I have ever had. To top it off the wheat bread they served it on was probably he best wheat bread I have ever had. I wish they were around the corner because I would be there 3 times a week. Absolutely and AMAZING Jewish deli that make many of the New York ones look like amateur's You skip this place you are missing a JEM read more

Hi, I am a previous employee. I've never been more disappointed to be apart of such a reckless environment, if you want to eat old food, or food made by people that i have never witnessed wash their hands, this is the place. I now can say i've worked with the bottom of the barrel. the owner snorts all of his money, and if you dare to call and ask for him, he will proceed to pretend he is not there. Within the first week i was informed that you are allowed to have sex in the owners office or the basement, where apparently is a bed. He has fired multiple employees and taken half their check claiming they have stolen or cost him money. When in reality he has been abusing his employees and blaming them for his own lack and inability to have integrity and a work ethic. read more

I love this place! So happy with the changes the new owners have made! Great menu, great ambiance, friendly service. Lovely outdoor patio. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Goldstein's definitely isn't like the delicatessens I remember growing up on Long Island but it is significantly better than the typical sandwich shops you find in this area. They use quality brands for f cold cuts and have numerous cold sides. I was a little disappointed with their knishes but other than that I'm always happy with the quality of their sandwiches. They make an outstanding Ruben with nice cuts of corned beef, sauerkraut and Russian dressing. They also stock a large amount of craft beer as well as some unique hot sauces and mustards. They also make some very good breakfast sandwiches. read more

great service and phenomenal food! love the vibe and the atmosphere! I would totally recommend this place.

Love the New Yorker! A deli must. New York style deli sandwich. I have never had anything that I didn't like. Great selection of beer

11/22/2022 Where do I start?. Let me say, i have had food from this place in the past that was good. unfortunately, that was then, this is now. This was a doordash order where i live 15 minutes from the deli. the food did arrive on time as projected by doordash. We ordered a caprese salad, a reuben with coleslaw and fries. Salad was of decent size thrown in the styrofoam container apparently in haste, but its a salad.. the sandwich is where the urge to review and share my experience with other unsuspecting potential customers comes in. basically a grilled meat and cheese sandwich . zero dressing on it, maybe 3 oz of pastrami ( 2 thin slices) and a slice of melted cheese. clearly used the two small ends of the loaf of bread. i literally asked my friend if i was being punked and laughed. one bite and in the bin it went.. waste of money. with all in it was almost $35 for a salad, a "sandwich" and cold fries. the coleslaw was in a 2 oz container. so that would have been 1 bite. it's a shame to see a place that had a great offering and reputation, destroy itself. Wilkes barre, there are far more options out there that actually want you to like their food.. stay away from goldsteins.. imho read more

First time experience....Last time experience.... Feeling a little crabby today after I ordered the "Crab Cake" burger, which had NO crab cake on it. The disappointing sandwhich was supposed to have what they say to be an 8oz Grade A Slab of Beef (tasted like a burnt piece of rubber because the waitress never asked how I wanted it cooked), an egg over easy with extra eggshell, you got it, hollandaise sauce lots of it and a Non-existent Crab Cake. The bricoche bun was falling apart because the CHEF soaked it in hollandaise sauce prior to forgetting the Crab Cake. For a few bucks extra I got some ok french fries and some sour coleslaw. Mac and cheese bites were ok too. If you have money to waist, I highly recommend this restaurant. The fastest thing the wait staff did was get the check. You wanna a refill? Never heard of it. Sad. read more

Service was very slow, server seemed very confused. Ordered a hot pastrami on rye, pretty simple order, however I waited 20 minutes for the sandwich and there were only about a half dozen people in the place. They have a sandwich person behind the counter so I assumed that she would be making my sandwich, not so, the server brought the order to a back room through a dark hallway and 20 minutes later a guy brought it out and gave it to the sandwich maker, it sat there for a while and then the server picked it up and handed it to me, no napkins no utensils, no pickles no chips. There may have been 4 ounces of meat on the sandwich, meat was vey tough and rubbery had to have been some type of processed meat. Well I thought that I would give it a try to see if it was any better than the previous management, but no go. Live and learn. read more

After an hour and 5 minutes, and after receiving only the order my children placed, I asked to have my and my wife's order placed in Togo containers and for the check. I was told that they were making the order now and it would be taken off my bill. It still took 20 minutes to get our Togo orders and I had to remind them about the promise to take them off the bill. Dimly lit and understaffed, we won't return. read more

Visit #2 was a few days ago with my mom. It was great. For $9, I got the same breakfast as last time... a dinner plate filled with 2 slices of smoked ham, 4 pieces of bacon, a sausage patty, a pile of home fries (you can choose to have them with or w/o onions & green peppers... I opted for none), 2 eggs & 2 thick slices of toast. As delicious as the first time. My mom got an $8 special... corned beef Rubin on rye... & loved it. According to their online menu, it's a regular special. You can also choose pastrami or turkey instead. It came with 1/2 pickle... fries & coleslaw are $2 extra, but she's a slight eater so ate half & brought the other half home. She loved the coffee (that's because she's normally an instant coffee drinker, so anything brewed is a treat to her), but I'm an espresso snob, so it's barely passable to me. That's my only complaint besides the super dark interior... we sat at the bar cuz the tables in the back make me feel like I'd be sitting in a basement. I think table lights might be a nice touch. One very nice waitress even remembered when I was in several wks ago & mentioned I'd be back with my mother. Nice staff all around... some of the waitresses aren't as attentive... they're always busy chatting... so you have to interrupt for anything you need, like cream for coffee, a refill, your bill. Good to know: * There's a small parking lot in the back. It's a bit tough getting in & out of spots, but it's available if there aren't on-street spaces. * Breakfast is served 7-11am, but you can also order lunch items during that time. 5* out of 5. We'll be back. read more

Overpriced and not well prepared food. It is upsetting because this place has so much potential, but we are consistently disappointed when we go back. Our order of homemade chips with crabby seasoning was so over seasoned we actually returned it. We were then mocked by one of the employees because we couldn't "handle" the spice. However, that was not the case. We have had these chips many times, and this particular order had entirely too much seasoning. The pizza, which is usually a safe bet, was terrible. It was overcooked, and the sauce was not its usual sweet deliciousness. It tasted overwhelmingly of burnt garlic. The only redeeming item was a dozen wings with the red, white and blue sauce. I would recommend that wing sauce to anyone. It's great. All in all, it was another disappointing order. read more

Goldsteins Deli - $8.99 macaroni and cheese dinner with side salad. RIP OFF!!! - Delis Near Me - Kingston, Pennsylvania

Love Goldsteins! They have such a wide variety of options and everything I've had here has been great. The staff is always friendly and the place is always clean. It's a great spot for breakfast too. read more

Upon ordering delivery today, all three of our items delivered were wrong. Not only were they wrong, but the items they delivered to us the second time around to "make it right" were rotten. The lettuce was black, slimy, old. The veggies were also old and slimy. Some of the chicken in the salads was hardly cooked. We ended up throwing the entire order in the garbage it was so bad. This place really needs to get it together. It used to be a favorite spot of ours. Still waiting for the manager to call us back. So disappointing. What a waste of money. Will not return. read more

Found this place a few years ago. Whenever I am in Kingston, this is my "go-to" spot.The food is simply outstanding. My favorites are the Funky Philly, Goldstein's special, and the three cheese steak jus. Soups are excellent, as are the desserts. I've been there dozens of times and have yet to be disappointed. The bottled beer selection is one of the best in the region. Solid place. read more

We've eaten here a couple of times their corned beef is really good including the hash you can get for breakfast. Some of the sides are not the best but overall sandwich and meat quality here is very good. read more

Very disappointed. Fries were cold and the Cole slaw was served in a condiment container so it was one spoonful. The quantity of meat in the sandwich was good but had no flavor. read more

Okay so.... the service at this place was unacceptable. Two waitresses walking around trying to figure out which way is left and which way is right. We sat for about 20 minutes before even being asked if we needed anything. I had to approach the bar and request menus for the table. The place wasn't even busy. I would like to see how they operate with a full house. The food came out rather quick but wasn't anything special. I ordered the large pretzel appetizer and parts of it were still frozen. My main meal was the drunken French dip it was okay but, rather tasteless. My buddy ordered the crab Benedict burger and they some how forgot the crab, not to mention he found egg shell in it too. Understandable, we all know how hard it is to crack an egg. I know this place is a well liked establishment in the Kingston area but we were not satisfied. read more

I used to love coming here before hockey games with friends but the past 4 times I've been here the service was slow for only having maybe 4-6 customers in the whole dining area. My recent experience today will be my last though. Service was slow as expected with 4 customers total. My food came out fine but my girlfriends on the other hand didn't. She took a bite out of her cheddar mac & cheese and instaly spit it out and told me to try it. All i did was smell it and knew better. IT WAS 100% SPOILED!! t's clear the management doesn't care anymore and you can tell by the horrible attitudes the constabtly show. I felt so sorry for our waitress because she seemed sweet and semi uncomfortable. She kept saying sorry over and over and we reassured her it wasn't her fault. Im unsure if different people have been running it for the past few years but it's clear they don't care. It's sad to see how far downhill this place has gone..... read more

This restaurant has turned into complete trash. Do not waste your time going there and spending your money. The food is always wrong and the employees scream and argue in front of customers. I've never seen such an unorganized place in my whole life. They don't appreciate anyone and will talk shit on anyone who walks through the door or works there. read more

Such a great night came in to a newly renovated facility tons of beer on tap friendly staff fresh pizza cold beers and a special sandwich with a rotating menu an excellent end to a day! read more

Don't waste your time or money on this place. In the past the food was good but not any longer. My $13.95 turkey reuben was inedible with dry, tough, brown turkey, no russian dressing a small glob of cheese on bread that was not even rye bread. It was thrown in the trash along with the coleslaw that was at least 2 days past being fresh. The only thing worse than the food was the manager that runs the place. She accused me of being rude because I said the sandwich was bad and questioned whether the deli had an experienced sandwich maker​ currently. She verbally abuse​d me on the phone when I asked for a refund several times or to have the owner call me. Both of which she refused. She dared me to fill out a review, so here it is. It appears there is no experienced staff​ or well prepared fresh food​​. read more

Just not impressive... been here in the past and the food was great. Now, it's just ok. Sandwich was good, soup was edible, macaroni salad was atrocious, and the homemade chips were good but i wanted it as a side to my sandwich not a full platter worth... now i know what to expect here and won't be back when there are far better places in the area... read more

Goldsteins Deli - Too expensive for food that is sub par overall. - Delis Near Me - Kingston, Pennsylvania

This place is a joke! When I got home and opened my hoagie I was pissed off. My hoagie hade 1 price of cheese and 2 prices of turkey with brown lettuce. Never been here before and DAMN WILL TELL EVERYONE AT WORK AND MY FRIENDS NOT TO BUY ANYTHING FOR GOLDSTEINS DELI read more

One of the best parts of my week is walking here with my wife for dinner and a few brewski's. After a long week of work this has become my happy place on Friday or Saturday nights. Awesome beer selection, honestly they have really great beer options. Large menu. My wife and I usually get sandwiches and split the waffle fries. The service here is great. They are very attentive and chill. I probably like this place a lot more because it's walking distance from my place. If I had one suggestion it would be to turn the music up a little. Sometimes it's been so quiet you really just hear the white noise of the refrigerators running. Little too quiet. But all in all great food and beer options, great service. read more

One time I went hear and I ordered a hoagie - and they gave me a little bit of meat and what appeared to be two handfuls of shredded lettuce. Now if you're a guy, or girl - who loves shredded lettuce. I mean piled high. Just handfuls and handfuls of crisp, semi-delicious lettuce. That just mask the taste of your entire sandwich. Lettuce, with hints of salami and pepperoni. Or maybe you like lettuce with the faint phantom presence of sliced turkey. You're going to want to check out Goldstien's. They have a great sign, a great vibe - many beers, where you can mix a six. Load up your six pack with real live beer from microbrews across the US. and other countries such as Germany (known for the good work Chancellor Angela Merkel has done all these years with making their economy the most envied in all the EU.) Maybe try a beer from Connecticut that might have a fancy picture of elephants fishing, or a dog in a raincoat talking to another dog in a raincoat - both smoking pipes - and under the dogs it says something like "Harris Brewery: Dog Day Stout." And why your at it - grab a hoagie - wrapped in classic parchment paper. Go home, crack open a beer - maybe from a small brewery in Norfolk - because Norfolk has to have a brewery right? And then indulge in that hoagie. All your friends are going to be envious as Greece is of Angela Merkel, but instead of a sound economy being the object their envy. It's all that lettuce. Lettuce they want, lettuce they may never get, unless they go Goldstiens. Also note: If you sit down to dine in, no one may ever wait on you. read more

I don't get this place. I've been here twice in total. First time was ok, but only b/c I was able to catch up with a close friend I haven't seen in forever while we waited an hour for our food. Second time was on my lunch break. It's about 10 minutes from my work, so that basically left us with 40 minutes to order, wait, eat, and get the check. I generally am a patient person when going out to eat since I've worked in the restaurant industry. This was a bit much to handle. It took about 45 minutes to get our food, hence no time to eat. Overall, I wasn't happy with the service and food was just okay. All my friends rave about this place. Maybe b/c of the beer selection? Overall, not sure I'd go back, but wouldn't totally rule this place out to everyone reading this. Give it a whirl. Ya never know! read more
