    Delish Vegetable Soup- very hearty & full! They don't skimp, for sure
    Jane S.

    I've visited here a 1/2 dozen times within the past few years when I visit the area. Never a disappointment. The food is always fresh and whatever you order is plentiful & flavorful. Their matzo ball soup is delish! I wish I had a picture this time, but I ordered the vegetable soup with my 1/2 sandwich. The server said it was delicious & it was. I love the pickle spear that is a given on any sandwich plate. Also, they're known for their Hot Pastrami sandwiches on fresh rye. OhMyGosh, it was like melt in your mouth delicious. I promise that you will not leave hungry. The decor is very simple and always clean (even the redtrooms) Tables for plenty. There wasn't a wait when we arrived but they had a house full when we left. Jacob's is definitely a place to visit. They do have meals on their menu, too.

    Based on a friend's recommendation, we went for lunch. Unbeknownst to us, the restaurant's heating source for cooking was not working. It would have been helpful for an employee to tell us this before we sat down and decided on our order. The waiter was apologetic when finally visited our table and explained the situation. Since we were in a hurry, we decided to stay and order supposedly available items. My friend requested a brisket sandwich, and I ordered an egg salad sandwich. A short while later the waiter returned and said that neither of those options were available as they had not been previously cooked. I settled for a tuna salad sandwich on a bagel with a side of potato salad. I requested that the lettuce and tomato be excluded. My friend ordered a tongue sandwich on rye bread with coleslaw. The tuna tasted good but the bagel was not fresh. The tongue was tough and disappointing. My sandwich had the lettuce and tomato on it, despite my asking for them to be removed. Someone dropped the ball on this simple request, thereby resulting in wasted food as I did not eat these items. This was the first time I visited Jacob's and probably will be the last for a while. Despite the mishap with the heating issue (stuff happens!), I don't believe the restaurant handled the situation very well from a service perspective, and the food we had was just not up to par. There are several other deli options in the area that do better.

    We came here to try lunch with them. We started off with the split pea soup. Soup is not salty at all. I feel as if they are cooking towards their audience of an older population. While sitting here I heard a microwave being used ? Kinda weird for a place to be using a microwave for a deli. We ordered the matzah ball soup, split pea, Reuben and Rachel sandwiches. We got our food. Ok the fries on the sandwiches, you can tell we're frozen and then heat using cold oil. Very soggy. The sandwiches were good. The bread was thick and grilled. I liked that touch. The soups were bland as I believe it has to be made for their clientele which is an older crowd. I'm not kidding I don't think salt was put in the soups. I think the score on this restaurant is right on.

    Haven't been here since last year visiting from New Jersey but it is always amazing. The service was a little slow getting coffee but then it picked up. The food was delicious. This was our first stop as soon as we landed. I ended up with chicken salad. Nice size portion the bagel was a bit overcooked and the Cole slaw needed more mayo. This pickle was absolutely delicious! I wish I had more! I took half my meal home for a snack later on. Highly recommend!

    Holy Smokes! - After 1 Year - I think I may have discovered the best "Kosher Style" Deli in Palm Beach County - Too think, now the wife and I are actually moving away from this overcrowded place! Hidden/Nestled away in Boyton Beach - Yes, I was the youngest guy in the Dining Room - Nevertheless, the purpose of this review is to draw attention to this gem of a place. Unfortunately or fortunately - depending how you look at it, this place is not "Legally Kosher" for all intensive purposes. Nevertheless - we are dealing w/ Kosher Style - Jacob's was suggested to me by one of my patients and I've already been there twice in one week. Place is filled w/ the "Boyton Crowd" - who I'm convninced is doing there best to keep a lid on this place. Food is excellent and the prices won't break the bank. Owner/Operator Jose Jacobs is on premise everyday but Wednesday - from what I'm told. Meats are "Cured" on Premise - which is a rariety. Rye Bread is baked on premise and truly is the star of the place; Absolutely delicious! - You are not going to find anything like it anywhere! I've been told the Turkey is amazing and look forward to trying. They have a tremendously amazing menu that will satisfy the most discerning meshuganah. If you are reading this - than stop what you are doing and get out and try this place. OMG - The Matzah Ball soup was really good! Please tell the waitress to smile a bit more! It makes the food taste that much better. Otherwise no complaints! Would avoid on Wednesday - because that's the Owner/Operators day off. But, the gal at the slicer sure as heck can make an exceptionaly tasty sandwich and I've been told she covers for when Jose takes his much needed break. Plenty of parking availabe in the shopping center and very easy to find! A+ - This plus is truly wonderful! Enjoy and let me know your thoughts! Let me know if any of you meshugs want to meet me there? Like it and Love it!

    I haven't been so pleased to enjoy that NY-style deli other than Rein's Deli all the way up in Connecticut until Jacob's became that deli dream that I always wanted to visit for delicious food. Today (8/21), I had the chance to visit this establishment while we are in Florida to vacation for over a week. The employees at Jacob's are kind and pleasing which I liked. At Jacob's, there's more than just deli. Whether you're in the mood for a slice of Reuben sandwich or a salad, you'll be more than happy to satisfy yourself because the food is real good. I ordered shrimp salad (yes, I said shrimp), as well as potato pancakes and so much more of the good. There's a lot of shrimp in that salad bowl. They give you sauerkraut on top of Reuben, which is sweet. They also have Styrofoam containers and bags for takeouts or to have food brought home once you're full before you finish a dish. Want something more? There are dessert options as well such as sugar free pie and cookies. I primarily came here with the whole family because it's my first name (duuuhhh!!!!!!) and the fact that they serve up a good New York style deli I thought. I want to come back to this establishment if we go back to Florida for the next vacation. Mmm.... good! I encourage folks who enjoy NY style deli with Floridian ties to try their establishment in the heart of Boynton Beach, right near the post office.

    White Fish Salad Sandwich
    Beth L.

    This was my first time eating here, and I should have walked out after I walked in, but the cashier failed to see me. I finally asked a gentleman who was waiting at the first table, and he told me to sit anywhere. I took a menu, which I should have looked at before sitting down. I was surprised at how limited it was. I then watched a server bring over menus and greet the table before me despite them sitting down after me. I got up to leave when the same kind of gentleman apologized and asked me what he could bring me to drink. He was the only positive part of this experience. I ordered a simple meal of a bagel with whitefish salad and asked for no tomato. Other than the fact that it lacked onion, it came out correctly. However, the fish was the driest whitefish salad I have ever seen, and the taste reflected that. Like the missing onion and the lack of mayonnaise, it had no flavor. After getting four bones in my mouth, I gave up. The cashier was not at his station, but a kind lady working behind me acknowledged me and said he would be there. I will assume he was using the lav and give him the benefit of the doubt. He did not ask how my meal was, and I did not offer. I couldn't be in there for another minute. There are so many decent places in the area. I can't figure out how this one has stayed in business so long.

    Ordered takeout Corned beef on no seed rye, coleslaw and an order of small fries. While picking up my order I asked for a side of mustard and to my surprise the gentleman told me it was already in there. So, I decided not to ask for salt and pepper for the fries, I assumed they were seasoned to perfection. Unfortunately, they are not so ask for the condiments and ketchup if you need it(reason for missing a star). Real cool that someone was behind the counter slicing the meat to order, I absolutely loved the corned beef; juicy, not too lean, just enough fat, fresh rye, fries piping hot, coleslaw perfect and house pickle sour, just how mama likes it! Check them out! Sooo good!

    Fatty Pastrami

    The pastrami sandwich here is truly a masterpiece. The pastrami itself is hand-cut and marinated to perfection, giving it a rich flavor that's both smoky and savory. Each order comes piled high on freshly baked rye bread, which is crusty outside yet soft inside, creating a perfect balance of textures. The generous portions ensure that every bite is packed with mouthwatering goodness. Shockingly i thibk its Better than Katz & 2nd Ave Deli

    Potato pancakes (they're supposed to be called latkes, btw) were flavorless.

The woman at the counter told me, rather abruptly, that she would only sell me a quarter pound. I explained that I wanted an eighth and that a little over was perfectly fine. Her response was essentially, "I'm only selling a quarter pound." Fortunately, the gentleman slicing the lox simply listened to what I was asking for and took care of me. Thank you to him. To the woman working the register/counter today: customer service matters, especially for a longtime local business where people remember how good the place used to be. A simple request from a paying customer shouldn't turn into an argument over a couple of ounces of lox. I genuinely want to see this place succeed, but if the quality, selection, and customer service continue in this direction, I have a hard time seeing Gourmet Deli House being around much longer.
