Pastrami Express - Piled high and tasty! - Delis Near Me - Seaford, New York

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 5 Value: 7 Overall: 6 I was really looking forward to this pastrami sandwich being an alternative to going into the city and lining up for Katz's Deli. However, sadly this is not the answer I was looking for. The old lady serving me was very friendly and polite. I asked for the pastrami sandwich and a matzo ball soup. Unfortunately, the meat was thinly sliced and quite dry, nothing like I expected after reading many of the reviews on Yelp. It wasn't bad, just not as outstanding as I was hoping. The matzo ball soup is sadly nothing special either. This time, I drove a little out of my way to try this restaurant. I won't do that again, but will give them one more opportunity if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Although PE has a small footprint, the flavors of their Pastrami and Corned Beef stand out large and delish. Stopped in for takeout and ordered one each Pastrami and Corned Beef prepared "Juicy" and that's how we got them! Also got ff potatoes,Cole slaw and pickles to enjoy with the sandwiches . Of course a couple of Dr Browns sodas to wash it all down.. Next time we'll eat in and enjoy their other menu items.. read more

Thanks Abe and Annie. Another great Pastrami sandwich this evening. The meat was lean, fresh ,hot and just delicious. Annie's coleslaw is always a winner. French fries were also hot so good. Always a great meal at Pastrami Express. read more

Their service is beyond compare. Unfortunately I can't go to this Deli on my own. My wife usually picks up our meals. Everything is delicious. I think the owner once had an association with Ben's Best in Rego Park Queens NY. I use to go there all the time their food was delicious. The tradition continues at Pastrami Express. Everything I have gotten has been delicious. I can't say it enough. They bring back the great tradition of the neighborhood Jewish deli. I don't know if they cure their own meats. But they taste delicious. They try to accommodate their customers tastes. Well I'm an old guy and I ramble. Go there for yourself. You will become addicted! read more

Pleasantly surprised with how nice of a visit I had on Sunday 1-6-24. It was my first time here and we tried a few things on the menu. Hot pastrami reuben and corned beef reuben were both fantastic sandwiches. I think I prefer the pastrami a little more due to the added spices the bark provides. Sandwiches were not overly stuffed like some other places but it had the perfect amount of meat to cheese to Russian dressing. I even added some kosher mustard for a little extra zing. Also ordered a round knish and matzo ball soup. The knish was basic, but good and the soup was fantastic. I could've drank a gallon of the broth it was so good. They put some Cole slaw and pickles out on the table as well. Both were delicious. It's a Mom and Pop operation and there are probably about 6 tables or so inside and it has a quaint diner feel to it. The service was fantastic and the small staff on hand work hard. The woman who waited on us was pleasant, patient and offered up some menu suggestions. Places like this have become more and more rare over the years. Prices were more than fair for the quality and quantity of food. I'll definitely be coming back to try the pastrami dumplings with sauteed onions. read more

I think this was the best pastrami sandwich that I've had since I've left Queens. The knish was pretty good too. The service was five star couldn't ask for better. And all of this was topped with a cream soda. What a treat! read more

Oh yeah! Sure; the place is small, the parking seems to be on-street only, but it's all worth the effort. Great pastrami and the chopped liver was among the best I've ever had (and I was born in Brooklyn!). Start with some coleslaw and pickles, then get ready for some fine deli... Just a third of a mile east of the S.O.B. (Rt 135) on Merrick Rd and well worth a short detour. This little pace will be on my rotation going forward. All cards, closed Monday's (but I'm over that already : ) read more

Food is wonderful. Service is great. Lovely place come here anytime . Quick and casuals

If you're on Long Island, look no further. Pastrami Express is simply the best of this genre you'll find without having to go over a bridge. It's a tiny spot on Merrick Road in Seaford - if you weren't looking for it you'd likely not even see it - but the product is on point. This is old school kosher style delicatessen at its finest. Everything I've tried is good, but for me it's their namesake that is just iresistable. The hot pastrami is truly a thing of beauty here, I like mine "juicy" as they call it (aka the point or fatty part of the brisket) and ask them to slice it thick but they'll make it any way you want including lean & extra lean if that's your preference. Delicious rye bread and spot on deli mustard that compliments the salty goodness of the meat oh so well. If you're truly hungry bump up to the Abe's special and get 3/4 of a pound on your sammy. Either way, pair it up with some of their stellar french fries - I ask for well done and they're always perfectly crisp. Wash it all down with a Dr. Brown's, have a chat with the lovely staff if you like and enjoy the incredible taste of nostaligia. read more

I always thought pastrami had to be Kosher to be good. Boy was I wrong. This place offers the best pastrami sandwich I have had in many years. Plus they charge about $7 less than they do in the Kosher deli close to my house. It's a small place with really lovely employees. They cut the meat fresh, of course, so it may take a fr minutes for you order to be prepared, but is it ever worth the wait. And don't get me started on their sour pickles... read more

Best corned beef reuben sandwich I've had in my life! The homemade potato knish was also fantastic and the menu is filled with all the staples. read more

Love this place. Straight up classic pastrami on rye, spicy mustard and great pickles. Let's not forget Dr. Brown's soda.

A truly excellent pastrami sandwich. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Tender, flavorful. Meat was not fried. For only $3 you can get extra meat. We did and we were stuffed. read more

The knish and sandwich were perfect and delicious. The meat was juicy and tasty. The apple streudel could use more sugar or sweetener because the apple was tart. Service was excellent too. We will definitely be back. read more

Pastrami Express - Square knish - Delis Near Me - Seaford, New York

This was my go-to place for years, but it's not nearly as good as it was. They seem to have gotten lazy and cut corners. The pastrami tastes cheap now, like hot dogs, and the last time I got the pierogis they were still raw (frozen?) and inedible. It's a shame, bc it's local and convenient and was great for a while, but unfortunately not anymore. read more

Dare I say I've found the Long Island Equivalent to Katz's if you ask for the Fatty Cut. Worth the ride from Babylon! The fatty cut was everything I wanted it to be. The pickles were a delicious bonus. Although I do love my spot in Woodbury for their Pastrami mashups. For straight up Pastrami no chaser, THIS IS YOUR SPOT! I've tried the places in East Meadow, Commack & Bellmore. No comparison. The Pastrami was melt in your mouth tender. Steamed and piled high on your choice of bread. Perfection! I also tried the Pastrami Dumplings. Very good, loved the onions. But I would love to see them with some mashed potatoes like a pierogi. I think that would make a great combo. But I digress.... Get the sandwiches and don't forget a delicious Cream Soda & FREE parking in the back with a back door entrance! Delish! 8-19-20 read more

Wish I could give half stars because I think it's more of a 4.5. Small traditional Jewish style deli that is very easy to miss if you're not looking carefully for it. Came here for lunch during the week and went with their junior sandwich lunch special, 5oz of meat of your choice (I went with brisket, which comes warm and with a side of gravy if you choose) and a side of Nathan's style crispy fries and a drink for a decent price. I think this turns out to be a perfect portion for any meal, but Jewish delis do love to make their giant sandwiches too. Brisket is sliced thin and put on soft rye, very tasty. Sandwiches also get served with a small plate of coleslaw and a few pickles. Despite the small size, the place feels very comfortable, almost like having a meal at home. I wish I had got our waitress's name, she was the sweetest woman and made sure we were taken care of. Prices can seem just a touch expensive, but you get good quality and a healthy portion for your money. You can park on the street right in front, but I'd recommend the larger lot behind the building for convenience, there are entrances on both sides. Would gladly come back for more deli classics. read more

Pastrami Express - Junior Brisket Sandwich - lunch special - Delis Near Me - Seaford, New York

Do not have it delivered, because when they screw up, you own it. Last time sandwiches were light. Today's order had a hefty brisket sandwich. The Tongue and Pastrami with coleslaw on the side came out with no tongue, a few strips of Pastrami and coleslaw on it. It was correct on the bill. They should have felt the weight when they packed it! A must to avoid unless perhaps you are dining in. read more

I admitted to my boyfriend that I never had pastrami before so he brought me here. Very old school vibe with the sweetest lady who served us. I tried to order a Diet Coke and she told me I NEEDED to get a dr browns so I ended up getting a cream soda to fit the vibe. Thank you for pushing me into that! To start we ordered potatoes pancakes and wow were they huge & crispy. I could probably each these as a side dish with every meal. Or maybe just as every meal till I die. They also gave us 2 types of pickles and coleslaw which were all so delicious and fresh! Since I was hesitant about if I was going to like pastrami or not we ordered 1 hot pastrami sandwich on rye and 1 brisket on rye to split. We got the thousand island and sauerkraut for the pastrami on the side so I could try it with mustard as well since I'm more of a mustard girl. So this is where I admit my boyfriend was right and I've been missing out my whole life (no one tell him I admitted that). I have nothing to compare this to but I am in love. The bread was so fresh and the meat had so much flavor! The brisket sandwich came with a gravy that had a strong tomato taste so it tasted more like a sauce to me. Since I usually order meat rare or medium rare it was a little well done for my taste but it was ok. Overall I had a great experience and will only be ordering the pastrami next time and passing on the brisket. read more

Had a craving for a Jewish deli sandwich and remembered driving by this place. So I stopped and had a delicious sandwich. Warm, fresh turkey and corned beef on rye with mustard and Russian. My mouth was happy with every bite. read more

Portions could be bigger but food is excellent and staff is courteous. I definitely recommend.

They know how to make a pastrami sandwich! I also love their square knishes as well as the knish stuffed with pastrami. Highly recommended. read more

We ordered in tonight for our first time delivery. Everything was perfect. The burger was cooked medium well as requested, the corned beef was extra lean as requested and the potato latke is so crisp and delicious! Amazingly their latkes are not greasy, they are just crispy deliciousness. We're so full we didn't even get to the stuffed cabbage, but looking forward to it. We picked up Turkey sandwiches to go last time, and they were so good. Honestly, if turkey day wasn't so close we would've never switched it up. I would definitely recommend Pastrami Express. read more

Great Pastrami, french fries, Potato pancakes and soups. Pleasant service. Easy parking in the back.

Best Knish I have ever tasted! I also ordered matza ball soup and the matza was very tasteful

Christina J posted some photos of this place that had my mouth watering. So Wifey and I went there for a pastrami sandwich and that was exactly what we got. Two loaded with meat pastrami on rye sandwiches that were moist tender and flavorful with your choice of pickles and everything was delicious. Oh and by the way that was the small sandwich they have a larger one for a little more money, I would love to see what that looks like. read more

Wonderful pastrami, fantastic chicken soup. Better than some restaurant chain Jewish deli food I have recently had. My only complaint is that the pastrami sandwich is a little skimpy (It doesn't look like the picture. As is often the case of course. Though my experience does not agree with everyone else's, I see. So maybe it depends on staff. ). Note that although it is not on the take out menu they DO have Dr. Brown's diet cream soda. PS, dear Pastrami Express, please please consider adding chicken (and flanken) in pot to your repetoire! read more

This place is awesome and Anne is the owner and she is such a hospital person. The pastrami sandwich called the ABE sandwich is 3/4LB of pastrami on the sandwich. I love this place and would definitely be back and would recommend this place fo sho. I also ordered the chocolate Brooklyn egg cream as well and was great also. Keep up the great work Anne! read more
