Popcorn!! It was good popcorn.... But that's all the bar snacks/bites they offer.
Joi B.

Nice bar. My drink was really good. I had a mezcal drink.... Hate that there's no snacks/ bites other than the popcorn

This is a great local bar with local folks. Live music on the weekends. Great staff who are friendly and courteous, but with just enough of the no-nonsense, not-here-to-bother you sensibility that I love. Bonnie and Clyde theme is neat, if a bit kitschy. Solid beer selection. Try the Malort--you'll regret it, but it's somehow worth it? A strange experience of an alcohol, that one.

Best deli in oak cliff! Most of my five star reviews are based off a combination of food, service and appearance. However with Parker Barrows it was five stars based off their sandwiches alone! Great cuts of meat, genius sub pairings and phenomenal sides. Get the Barrow's Gang with two sides of chips. If meat ain't your thang then go with the vegetarian and splurge on coleslaw. In addition to great sandwiches they have an awesome craft beer tap selection and a phenomenal cocktail menu that's sure to meet anyone's taste. The staff is also super friendly and regardless of where you're from you will easily blend in with the locals that pack in. Overall you're in for a great experience, amazing food and good conversation whether you come solo or with company. Enjoy!

Checking the time of closing at 1am...

Reasoning for the 1 star.... Went in at 1 am (they close at 2am) with my boyfriend expecting to get a drink or two and ending up leaving a minute later. As we walked in, the bartender was cleaning as if he was closing and it through my boyfriend off so he asked if they were in fact closing for some reason and the bartender responded "well yeah I actually am right now..." We ended up going to the other bar a few doors down and had an amazing time with the girl working the bar there! Hope they can get their stuff together here...

Stumbled in here by accident. One of the best accidents ever! After golf we came by here with the boys for a beer and sandwich. This has got to be the best pastrami sandwiches in the country - no kidding. All four of us had this as the best pastrami ever. Now the beer is awesome as well with numerous local/regional beers on tap. Something for everyone! So if you want a New York style beat in the business sandwich and a great beer to wash it down go to Parker Borrows. Also the owner is extremely nice with a great conversation if not too busy. Will be back - can't wait!!! For those waiting in line at

Pastrami Sammie. Homemade chips. Rice and beans,

Was here last month for the first time. I went with a friend to check out their grub bub. At first their band was performing outside, which was doable for conversation and a happy vibe. Sandwich ordered. Drinks in hand. Everything was swimming just peachy. Then for some unexplainable reason, the band moved inside, and I couldn't hear my date next to me, less than 1 foot away....MAJOR ugh!! I am okay at lip reading, but I am not an expert. We happily devoured their generous pastrami sandwich with homemade chip fries. Loved every bite. Split it between us cause it was huge. But the lack of silence or heavy loud noise made for a quick retreat out the door. The singer was great. The music was lively. But they should consider on a weekday, not everyone wants to rock out 100% to the band. Just saying.

Fried green tomato and bacon sandwich
LIberty K.

I stopped here on a whim while out on business in the area. The food here was great. Tons of bacon on my fried green tomato sandwich. I was alone and the bartender was unfriendly and closed off. You can see it's just his personality. I don't think this guy should be bartending and stick to whatever he did before. Most boring 30 minutes of my life so I got my sandwich to go. :S By the time I got my other 1/2 of my sandwich home to more pleasant surroundings it was soggy. So $20 lunch check for a 1/2 a good sandwich, a beer, and bad service. Yay!

Deli News never disappoints. This lunch was next level -- a piled-high corned beef sandwich topped…read morewith a perfectly cooked egg. Cut into it and that runny yolk pours right over the warm corned beef, adding an extra layer of rich, creamy goodness. Messy in exactly the right way. We also had the liver pâté and egg salad, along with the classic pickles and crunchy bagel chips. Everything tasted fresh, generous, and exactly like a great old-school deli meal should. There are plenty of places to get a sandwich in Dallas, but when it comes to this kind of deli food, Deli News is hard to beat. Great portions, great flavors, and food that makes you want to come back before you've even finished lunch. That corned beef, egg, and runny yolk combination alone is worth the trip. Cannot beat it anywhere in Dallas.

The food here was pretty good. We were looking for a place to have lunch and despite living really…read moreclose to Deli News for years, we'd never been. First, the spot is actually really cozy and has a well-maintained neighborhood vibe. It's self-seating so we picked a spot near the huge flatscreen so we could also watch a little television. Service was friendly and attentive. The menu is HUGE, so maybe study it a bit to cut down on decision fatigue. I was initially torn between a breakfast plate and the cheese blintzes. I figured, why not go with the blintzes, because you don't really see as an option much these days. I also got a side of cherry compote and orange juice. The orange juice was nice and pulpy. As for the cheese blintzes and the cherry compote- I think I could've done without it- it made it too sweet. But, it was served in the side, so iI just didn't eat much of it. The blintzes themselves were very good and definitely had a very gratifying texture. Slightly sweet on their own, but not too much. My husband had the franks and beans. I didn't try them, but I did snag a French fry and it was very good- golden and perfectly crispy with a piping hot soft center. Prices were a bit steep, but this is a neighborhood restaurant and iI think it's always good to support locally when you can. Goodness knows, prices for goods is high and labor is not cheap. Overall, I would definitely consider coming here again, but this time I would like to try one of their breakfast plates to get a better baseline.

I was always greeted immediately upon walking in and the staff was very nice and helped me with placing takeout orders. Service was always fast, and the food was so good. Over the days, I ordered a Ham&Cheese, Reuben, Club, and Patty Melt. The Reuben was my absolute favorite. I liked that the corned beef and pastrami was not too salty. The rye? bread that was used was sooo soft and fluffy which is what made this place memorable to me. Side pickle was also crunchy and tasty and I liked the potato salad! Thank you for making my court days a little bit better. I'm glad there are other locations so I don't need to return downtown to get a great sandwich again!

Dallas being a " new" city has a shortage of old school, including places like Jimmy's. You can literally make a day out of it. Drive there,shop for Italian items,order a meatball sandwich to go and head home. There,start planning and preparing your evening meal with all the great stuff you bought at Jimmy's. For me it was pursuing the isles waiting for my Hot Italian Beef sandwich to be made. I picked up a great Mulipuciano,frozen sausage lasagna and more. But The item on the top of my list was a couple of pounds of house made Hot Italian sausage. No doubt you've seen it served on menues around town if you've been in Dallas any length of time. Don't miss the extra hot latte or cappuccino that magically appears out of the great machine up front. Go! * Another missing review

Catered corporate lunches are usually an afterthought--lukewarm platters and bland wraps that people pick at out of polite necessity. Weinberger's completely flipped that script. The entire order arrived dead on time, impeccably packaged, and clearly labeled, which made handing everything out effortless without derailing our agenda. More importantly, the quality was extraordinary. Even through delivery, every sandwich arrived in pristine condition--bread fresh and crisp, meats cut thick and seasoned to perfection, and zero sogginess. As someone who travels constantly for work and samples delis coast to coast, these are unequivocally the best sandwiches I have had anywhere in the country. Within two bites, our formal slide deck was completely forgotten, and the entire room was raving about the food. It broke the ice better than any presentation ever could and set an energetic, positive tone for the rest of the day. A huge thank-you to the Weinberger's crew for seamless delivery and flawless execution. You didn't just cater lunch; you genuinely made the meeting. You have our business moving forward when I'm in town.
