The brisket on Monday 8/11/2025 was the worst brisket I've ever had!!! Tough, stringy, tasteless!!! Terrible!!!

We were coming back from Delaware so we decided to try the Kibitz room. The food was very disappointing. I got the gluten for punishment pastrami and cornbread and there was very little meat and hardly any coleslaw. I also believe what turned me off the most was that they had about 5 people working and every single one was on there phone. Especially behind the counter with there gloves on using there phones while cooking. read more

Good quality kosher-style deli. Huge portions but still quite expensive. Also, the service isn't great... never enough staff. Best for takeout. read more

The food is amazing and they give you a lot more than you can eat on premises. I have never had a sandwich this big! And I've tried them from Michigan to Jersey! I'm so upset that I just found out about this place. I lived in Cherry Hill about 7 minutes away from 2008-2012 and I never encountered this spot. I know it had another name, but I frequently went to this plaza and overlooked it. But I am glad I know and have had a chance to try it. The pickle bar was amazing. The food was great and the cakes we left with were okay. We took about 6 cakes home that are $10-12 a slice and some other pastries. read more

Kibitz Room - Delis Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Had a BIG meal for our party of 3 and wound up taking quite a bit home (Yes, portions are enormous!). Great service from our server (female) but the lady at the front cash register is very "brusque". I softened her up a bit, but WOW. Icy-cold and very abrupt. Meanwhile, those matzoh balls are light, fluffy, delicious - and, of course, HUGE. Cheese Blitz (just get one - yes one for $6.95 - but it's gigantic) is stuffed with lightly sweetened cheese filling and the blini/crepe itself is so comforting and tasty. Decadent deep-fried latkes. And a decent mac and cheese, too! Hit up the pickle bar if you are dining in. So good! Thank you. read more

What happened to this place. The corned beef is shoe leather. The Chopped liver was spoiled, i got into an argument with the counter guy whether or not chopped liver is supposed to be grainy and chewy. Are you kidding? The TOWER of meat was a small roll that was sliced so thick you could not bite through it. At $30 for a sandwich we will never be going back. This was a special out of the way trip to a place we use to love When we lived in Cherry Hill. I would not waste my time or the gas to drove there now. What a disappointment. read more

Door dashed a large order for our office. Everything listed on receipt. Too bad they didn't follow the instruction on what was ordered. I paid like $20 for a ham and Swiss sandwich on rye with mustard. I got a ham sandwich with MAYO and no cheese. For $20? Should have ordered from Wawa. As always, disappointed. Won't order from here any more. I'm out $20 and I hate mayo. Gross. Oh and gave no plastic ware or Napkins. We spent around $200. read more

If I'm looking for pastrami, this is where I go. You can be a little surprised at the price until the sandwich arrives. An absolute mound of delicious meat that is impossible for me to finish. The half sandwich is plenty with the full easily shared between two. The place is always jumping. Cases full of tempting foods and desserts. I love coming here. Always friendly service esp considering the pace of the business. read more

Placed my order via phone, got a potato knish, order of latkes and matzoh ball soup. Potato knish (hot) was fresh and filling was good, I prefer the shreddy latke style but these were still pretty good and crunchy, really enjoyed the soup and that they put the matzoh balls in a separate container so they don't get soggy. Overall they are a little pricey by would definitely come back. read more

The Kibbitz Room in Cherry Hill is under new management. We picked up a take out order today - Turkey special. The sandwich was not only half the size as it used to be, the turkey is now turkey roll. The russian dressing and cole slaw is terrible. And they charged $26 for it. Never again. And I've been a customer here forever. Not any longer. The Kibbitz Room can maximize their profits off someone else. read more

This is one of my favorite delis in New Jersey, I am actually surprised I haven't reviewed it yet but most of the time it's lunch for work and I'm picking up. The atmosphere changes right when you walk through the door. The decor reminds me of a New York style Jewish deli which I grew up on. The staff is very nice and welcoming but moving non-stop due to heavy traffic! That should tell you something. My wife went with the Nova Lox platter and it was massive and loaded with all the fixings. Their inclusive pickle bar was so good, pickled tomato's, peppers, cabbage, and multiple flavors of pickle, my favorite the hot and spicy . The quality of fish was excellent, loaded with flavor. I decided with the corned beef and pastrami on rye with Swiss, Russian Dressing, and Cole Slaw. It was massive and we'll worth the price tag. I think a lot of people forget what goes into having a highly favored restaurant with quality and homemade goods. I will go back every-time! P.S. always get a square knish for the table !! read more

Pastrami sandwich was good. Opted for a latke on the side with sour cream. I liked the latke. The pickle bar needed to be restocked when I was there. The dining area is cramped and was chaotic with only one waitress. I was not able to get her attention after she brought out the food. I finally went up to the counter to ask for bill and a to go container for half the sandwich. read more

Traditional Jewish Deli with very fine pastrami, tongue and chicken liver pate. Large portions with prices to match. Lively and crowded lunch. Free pickle bar is a bonus but no mustard pickles (sigh). read more

Good and service phenomenal plenty for your money lots to choose from and great service

Really a 3.5. I have to say I have not been to this restaurant, I am the beneficiary of a catered lunch in an office. The spread was impressive with pastrami, corned beef, chicken salad and more. The half coned beef sandwich is ample, really big. Likewise the pastrami. Both on fresh rye and delicious. The potato salad was bland for me. Pickled green tomatoes, pickles and hot cherry peppers are nice sides. Overall quite good, sandwiches better than the salads. read more

Decided it'd be a good idea to start a new tradition - heading to a Jewish deli the day after Christmas! I should have come with a Jewish friend who could help me out with suggestions. Lots of good looking salads here, but I had no idea what some of the tasty looking dishes were. I opted for a sesame bagel, which is my standby for trying out a deli. The pastrami breakfast sandwich was absolutely delightful. The egg was perfectly cooked and it was cheesy and hot and I didn't want the meal to end! Lots of to go orders of big deli platters were ready and waiting. They looked generous. read more

Fantastic Jewish Deli here! Had breakfast and dinner options here and honestly even though the price is sky high.... The portions are serviceable! Did a pastrami egg and cheese one day and it was triple the meat compared to another place. Had my first Corn Beef Reuben ever here and must say it was an absolute pleasure. Service is quick and easy. Need to grab a sandwich from here soon! read more

meat 9 of 10. service 9 of 10. baked goods 0 of 10. the manager picked out black and white cookie ($5) which was so stale I couldn't bite into and was trashed. the ruggalah ($1.50 each) which was as dry as styrofoam, but if it had been fresh the flavor would have been good. read more

I would rate this place with negative stars if that were. an available option. Do not ever order food for a group and expect the place to fill the order. On Tuesday morning, at 9:30 am, I called and placed an order for three items of fish to pick up for Yom Kippur, for a break the fast dinner. I had agreed to be the one to bring the fish to a family gathering about 90 minutes from my home. It was not a platter but simply 3 items. The woman who answered the phone asked what time I wanted to pick it up and I told her between 2 and 3 pm on Thursday afternoon She told me it would be no problem. When I arrived today, Thursday, the place was a madhouse, full of people trying to pick up orders, some of which the place never filled. I was told there was no order for me; no one could find it in a bunch of filthy paper forms the restaurant must have stored in a trash receptacle. The people working there were rude and obnoxious. First , I was told my order must have been too late to be filled. Three items called in on Tuesday? No one said that, nor did they even take my phone number when I placed the order. Then I was told they ran out of fish. Really? For break the fast at a Jewish del? Then they said a truck was coming from King of Prussia and wouldn't arrive until 4:30 / 5 pm. Good luck with that itinerary on the Schuylkill. I was not the only one. A man picking up a platter was told they didn't have his food either and when he asked what he was supposed to do, one of the employees told him that was his problem. No one was in charge and each employee I attempted to talk to was more obnoxious than the next. I am ordinarily a low maintenance customer who respects how difficult it is to work behind a counter, but this was chaotic, rude and management should be embarrassed. A person whose order was not filled asked who owned the place to find out what was going on; at that point I left and vowed never to go back to such an unreliable , rude, and unprofessional place. read more

The portions are generous, and my kids love the pickle bar! A great place to stop to eat-in or take out.

Kinda of disappointed that a $21.00 corn beef special was weak, dry, very little coleslaw, very little dressing for the money not worth the price. Waitress service was great and this place is just a so so Jewish Deli. Good pickle bar highlight of the trip. read more

Managment does not care , Also something they do is wrong, they have on the board Chicken Salad and Healthy Low Fat Chicken Salad well hate to tell you it's the same exact thing in both they put into separate bins in cooler but you must fill them up in the back since they are the same and don't want customers to see it. They don't even use low fat mayo. That is false advertisement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'! Also the atmosphere of employee's is so much tension read more

I live in Belgium and when I visit South Jersey I always go to the Kibitz room. It was even better than I remember! I had a Pastrami Reuben! My goodness it was absolutely delicious! Sliced nice and thin just like I like it! Sharon was our server, she was so patient and nice( which was greatly appreciated. It was my friends first time and she had a lot of questions.) We also met the owners son Brandon, he was so nice and friendly! I highly suggest the Kibitz Room! read more

Kibitz Room - My Pastrami Ruben! - Delis Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Came hungry, more like hangry. We showed up early and we're able to easily seat ourselves Sharon was quick to come over with menus. The sandwiches look huge and the food in display cabinets make my eyes tear. The pickle bar was just eh. Nothing stood out. And I tried them all The corn beef on the Reuben was very good very lean but the rye was not toasted and the Swiss was just laid on top and not melted. A pretty big disappointment. 3 stars on it Make sure if you get an omelette to ask what goes in it. A lot of eggs, light on cheese. 3.5 stars Of course I only ate half the sandwich, now you know why the Cardiac wing of the hospital is right next door read more

I mean it's Kibitz, they have been around forever I feel. Their food sizes are over the top so you don't mind paying a little more. The pickle bar is awesome. Everything there is fresh fresh fresh. Can't go wrong! read more

This is my first return trip there in a very long time. I had been very disappointed on my last trip. This time the food was much improved. The pastrami was lean and flavorful, and yes expensive like everything else. read more

Kibitz Room - Is your mouth watering yet? Mmm I got the Reuben with pastrami and Corned beef and a Potato Pancake ,Matzo Ball Soup too - Delis Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Great food. Nothing like a good corned beef special to make a guy fall in love + pickle + potato salad.

Was quite pleased with my lunch at the Kibitz Room. After a day exploring the Battleship New Jersey, the family was hungry and needed a late lunch. I'd had this place on my radar (no pun intended) for the past few months, and thought this was the perfect excuse to stop by on the way home. The place itself is very clean with an extremely impressive display case. We opted to dine in, so the waitress came over quickly with menus and patiently walked us through the menu and helped us with suggestions. Ended up splitting a pastrami on rye with a side of potato pancakes with the wife while the kids got hot dogs and fries and the table shared a cheese kugel and tried literally everything on the small pickle bar. Unlike most Jewish delis I've been to, the meals at the Kibitz Room are actually normal human-sized portions. If you're looking for a mountain of meat piled precariously on comparatively microscopic bread, you'll be disappointed. The price-to-food ratio is a bit steep, but the quality is quite good and the service is great. I'll be back when I'm in the area again! read more

This is a place to get great deli food! I love the pickle and sauerkraut bar! The service is fast. Know what you want when you get there, you could loose your place in line looking at all the delicious food available. read more

I have nothing but nice things to say about this deli. It was my first time there and the counter guy Steve took my order he was very nice. I had the shrimp salad sandwich and the shrimp were huge not salad shrimp but these suckers were huge. I had lettuce, tomato and onion on it with rye bread. I got the whole sandwich instead of the half and it was enough for two. The potato pancake was delicious too. They had other items besides. They had tables in there to dine in or you can take out. I am not ashamed to say I really pigged out on the sandwich everything was fresh. They also had a pickle bar. Clean inside it is just a nice Jewish deli with great food. read more

A day of cheesesteaks with Amigo Dan, Oldest daughter Jordan and her Karl continued with a Jewish cheesesteak from The Kibitz Room being eaten at Flying Fish Brewing Co. I am very fond of The Kibitz Room as a Deli but not so much for the jewish cheesesteak. It had several good things. The meat was tender and flavorful. The Pepper Jack Cheese added a nice kick. The roll had good flavor and who doesn't like cole slaw on their sandwich? The real problem was that it was made like a deli sandwich. A lot of meat piled on a roll with cheese on top. I was not a fan of the $17.95 pricetag. The overriding good news is Flying Fish Brewing co is nearby and you can take it there. read more

Terrific fresh homemade food at this local gem. The pickle bar has a variety of freshly made pickles; spicy, garlic, sauerkraut, etc. everything we've tried has been delicious! Try any sandwich, matzah ball soup, freshly made bread (the opinion buns are amazing). This time we tried the smoked turkey reuben. Very tasty! Service always feels like you have a seat at a friend or family member's home. read more

Egg salad smelled and tasted like raw fish. That was disgusting. Not sure how they managed to make egg salad smell and taste like raw fish.

I had high hopes for this place. It's usually on one of those top places lists. So, I expected better. The portions are on the large size which is consistent with the price. The issue I had was with the meats being a bit too lean and the sandwich being dry. It's a lot of meat and being that dry is just not great. It's the same for the corned beef and the pastrami. The Reuben was a little better but not because of the meat. It simply felt less dry because of the toppings. Overall, I give it a three star. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning for a breakfast sandwich. I'm not familiar with much of the menu so I stuck with what I was familiar with. I wish there was a little bit more signage so I could figure out some of the other food items. Coffee was serve yourself via a Keurig. There was plenty of room to be able to space yourself apart from others if dine in is your choice. My bagel sandwich was very good. read more
