This establishment is blowing up online, and for good reason --- their pastrami and brisket sandwiches are ELITE in the best way possible! Came a little after 12:30PM on a Friday, and was part of the lunch rush. I probably was in line for about 25-30 minutes, before reaching the counter to place my order. While your sandwich (or order) is being made, the employees will typically give you a little snack to hold you over until your sandwich is prepared. It's a nice little win for waiting it out. On top of that, I ordered a knish, because this catholic fellow has never tried one. Boy oh boy, for $16.95, you get a fat, stacked pastrami sandwich. The meat was extremely tender, and hit with a good smear of mustard. It's everything you expect it to be. I can't really comment more, as I am not a sandwich connoisseur, but this hit all the marks for me. The knish was "eh", lol.

I'm coming back to Check this out too!!!

Amazing hidden gem!!! Ordered one corn beef and one pastrami. As they cut the meat in front of you they give you a piece to tease you. It worked!!! I sat right down and started eating before I got to the door. Great service. As they were wrapping the sandwiches they placed the extra scraps into the wrapper. Nice 50's 60's vibe. I'm a corn beef guy but the flavor of the pastrami blew me away. Great price for such a huge sandwich. No need to go to Harold's Katz or Carnegie.

Wow. Just wow. I had heard about this place and it has been on my list for a long time. But we finally pulled the trigger and went yesterday. We got takeout. It was amazing.

My girlfriend told me this has been on her list of places to go and mine too. I had it a long time ago and wanted to try again. It was phenomenal!!! The meat is so juicy and flavorful and the price can't be beat for the huge sandwich piled high. We got it to go and it traveled well. The knish however was meh. Small. Skip that.

Steak fries

Placed an order at 5:55pm for pick up. We were only about 15 mins away and thought our order wasn't that complicated it would be ready...didn't get our order until about an hour later. We got there and my husband waited for about 15 mins and was told it was "almost done". We decided to leave and come back since our 1 year old started crying in the car. We got home and made dinner for the kids and finally got a message at 6:53pm that the order was ready for pick up. Having waited an hour for a pick up order, I was expecting this to be spectacular. My pastrami was fine. Did its job filling me up but pastrami was a little on the dry side and flavoring was whatever. My husband had the plain brisket sandwich which was dry AF. No juices on the bread and not that much flavoring on the brisket. The steak fries and onion rings were mediocre. Nothing to rave about. I thought we'd try something new tonight for Fourth of July but was definitely a mistake...not worth the money I paid and the wait for a pick up order. The girl behind the counter apologized to my husband for the wait, told him his order was ready, and left to do something. We thought she was getting our order but she came back and completely forgot about us... I'm sure she had a lot going on...... Worth a try if you're a local, but not something I'd pick when you're in a rush to get your food.

Rachel Pastrami Sandwich

Absolutely lives up to the hype! The pastrami is insanely tender like melt in your mouth kind of good. The sandwich is definitely messy, but that's how you know it's done right when its packed and stacked with meat! Even with a line out the door, the guys behind the counter cutting the meat are friendly and keep things moving. They even hand out samples while you wait, which makes the whole experience feel welcoming (and honestly makes the wait easier).

So much pastrami in Rueben
Vanessa A.

Loved the Rueben I ordered! When you order they give you some slices of meat to snack on while you wait. This was a bit fatty for my liking but still good. I got the Rueben with pastrami and it was perfect. There was so much meat that when I pulled the sandwich apart the pastrami was overflowing. The whole sandwich was way too much for me to eat in one sitting. You get pickles with sandwich as well. Also got an order of potato latkes. They were good as well. Bill came to a little less than $30. There is a cash discount.

The staff here are so nice! As you order at the counter, they give you some slices of pastrami or corned beef while you wait (as they should!) and my god. That first taste really tells you what you're in for. Watching them slice the meat in front of you gives such great satisfaction and it truly makes your mouth water. By the time they hand you your sandwich, you can't wait to bite into the juicy goodness of it ! -1 star only for the space because of how small it is, but I assume most people order to-go rather than to sit and dine-in. All in all, some of the best pastrami and corned beef I've had in a while ! My family and I used to go to Harold's all the time but now this might be our spot.

I have to come here more often! An amazing pastrami sandwich for a reasonable price! Usually only eat half of my sandwich and take the other half home, which tastes even better the next day! If you like pastrami and haven't been to Pastrami Grill Bistro, check it out

Reuben Pastrami

Absolutely delicious, magical pastrami. Whenever I've wanted pastrami, nothing could compare to Katz's or 2nd Ave Deli in NYC. Well, this is super close or even better. I couldn't believe how moist and delicious this pastrami is. We got the pastrami sandwich and reuben pastrami. When you order, they give you a generous portion to sample and they pile the meat high on the sandwich. The sandwich was so big I could only finish half of it. I ate it the next day and it tasted even better. It's truly magical pastrami. Nice, casual place with a few booths to eat at. The service is great and friendly. Bring your patience when you go. It took a while to order because it was busy and because they took such care when making my sandwich. They trimmed the cuts and looked like they were picking the best cuts for the sandwich. Definitely come here. It's worth the trip, wherever you're coming from.

Update: I've finally tried the pastrami. The sandwiches are huge. We got the pastrami cheese fries, and a corned beef reuben. The pastrami is really good and is very tender. The fries are steak fries, which I don't typically love but it worked well as a vehicle for the pastrami. The corned beef is a bit dry. We had some pierogies but these were superrrr oily. We also ordered a matzoh ball soup because I've never had it before. But the second I saw them microwave it in a plastic container, I knew I had made a mistake. It was basically just a matzoh ball in very salty chicken bouillon water. I'm sad that was my first matzoh ball soup experience but am not deterred from finding a real one elsewhere. Based on my previous visit and this one, it seems like you should just stick to a classic pastrami sandwich. It's big enough to share between two people. Next time, I'd like to dine in and eat it fresh. The sandwiches also come with a bunch of pickles, which was nice. Tip #1 - there is a parking lot but because there are so many stores and it's next to Bratek Deli, it's a nightmare. It did also happen to be Good Friday, so maybe that made it worse? I don't remember it being that bad the first time around. Tip #2 - I called ahead to place my order but still had to wait 15 minutes extra after the quoted time. They prioritize walk-in customers, so you might as well just order in store.

Come with your appetites strong and your mouths watering. My husband and I were lucky enough to drop in while there was a rare lull in service, which meant we got time to pore over the menu before stepping up to the ordering counter. The sight that greets you at said counter is enough to whet your appetite. Behind a plexiglass window, there are hot pans filled with fresh, uncut pastrami and knife-wielding men expertly slicing up those meat heaps into portions. They have a lovely custom of serving up some sample portions on a plate for you to taste as they prepare your order. My husband ordered the pastrami burger thinking it would just be a pastrami sandwich with added lettuce and tomatoes. We didn't realize this was a behemoth of a meal, complete with a burger patty, caramelized onions, and healthy schmears of house-made Russian dressing and whole grain mustard. Oh, and freshly fried steak fries on the side. It was truly a meal to behold, as every single pair of eyes in the restaurant were glued to that plate as we passed by them to find a seat. The burger patty itself was just fine (and perhaps a little dry), but when topped with pastrami and toppings, this burger felt like the pinnacle of pastrami decadence. If anything fell slightly short for us, the cole slaw felt a little too slick and thick with mayonnaise. But that's hardly a dig when they're serving up sky-high sandwiches of quality meat. The space inside is tight, especially when there's a line. During our meal, we watched the line grow until it was out the door, which left little room to navigate when we needed to shimmy back to get a takeout box or extra sauce. There are tables on one side, larger booths on the other, and even a few tables outside.

No need to go to Katz's Deli in the city...just go to pastrami grill in Garfield! Definitely worth the visit for the delicious pastrami and corned beef. We had ordered a corned beef Reuben and the Rachel with pastrami. As the order was being prepared, we got to sample the meats. The corned beef was delicious and tender. The sandwiches were piled high with meats. Very delicious! I highly recommend visiting!

Reheated at home, awesome...

Has classy but laid back style and energy. Staff are all very kind and service is definitely on point. Experience was great from beginning to the end. Of course the star of this show was the food. I got to try the special which was Ribeye grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread with house made gravy. It was amazing! Hat goes off to the chef, this was a great creation. Would try this again without a doubt. I also tried the Beef Rib Ragu pasta dish on their regular menu which was amazing as well. Looking forward to trying other items here on the menu. Can't forget I also ordered a cappuccino which was also delicious. Was not disappointed by anything during this entire experience. Great vibes, great staff, and great food!

The only thing they responded to was the bell coming from the kitchen. The menu was enticing. Lot of good things on it including the daily specials. I ordered the Arincini which was beautifully presented but were only mildly warmish with some cold spots mixed in. Disappointing. For entree I ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara. It was once again not served hot but was somewhat warmer than the arinicini but not by much. They could step up their game and brew their own ice tea instead of serving bottled ice tea. It's pretty easy to make ice teas with various flavors. Was a cute place, tables a little close together but was clean, nice lighting and decor. As a customer I would have expected more attention to our glasses, check on how the food was occasionally.

We finally made it this past weekend to Vinnie's Mootz for one of their special tasting menu…read morenights, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. If you're expecting a typical dinner, think again. The tasting menu featured around 12 courses, and by course ten I was completely full--but somehow still excited for what was coming next. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, packed with flavor and very tasty. For me the standout of the night was the very first dish which was Vinnie's homemade mozzarella with tomatoes, which was so good that we even bought some fresh mozzarella to take home. The meatballs were also outstanding, and the steak and eggplant course was another highlight. After all that food, finishing with a cannoli just felt like the perfect ending. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, but the food is every bit as good as what you'd find at restaurants that cost a lot more. Live guitar music throughout the evening added to the experience created a nice vibe. My only suggestion would be maybe to turn it down a notch or two as it was a little hard to hear others at our table. Still a very nice touch though and all songs you would know. I always like it when a chef comes out of the kitchen, especially at a tasting menu, and Vinnie came out several times to chat with guests which was very nice. It just added a personal touch and showed how much pride goes into both the food and the overall experience and we got to hear his back story. This tasting menu is an incredible value and a great way to try dishes you might not normally order. Just remember to come hungry--and maybe skip lunch beforehand. If you can get a reservation for one of these tasting nights, don't hesitate.

If I absolutely had to choose a favorite, I'd give the edge to the GoodFella, but it's really more of a 1A/1B situation. You can't go wrong with either! For an appetizer, we split the mozzarella sticks, and they were fantastic--crispy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great starter. Perfect sized app for at least 2 people... and fresh dipping sauce served right on the plate. For dinner, we both ordered the Hawaiian Marinated Steak, and I truly can't say enough about it. It was incredible: packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, juicy, and finished with butter on top that was the perfect touch. It was one of those dishes where every bite makes you slow down and appreciate how good it is. It was definitely a lot of food for one person, but I skipped lunch, so I indulged. The steak was the star of the plate, but it paired perfectly with the loaded baked potato and green vegetable. A huge shoutout to our waitress, Iris, who was incredible throughout the meal. To top everything off, she brought us a taste of her favorite dessert. I'm not entirely sure of the official name, but I'd compare it to a warm bread pudding with homemade ice cream and house-made caramel sauce. Absolutely delicious and a perfect ending to an already excellent meal. Great drinks, great food, excellent service, and an overall memorable experience. The Ridge House is an easy 5 out of 5.
