There's also a handwashing station that has little pieces of bread next to it, which is very great for a Kosher restaurant. I've never had fried kreplach before, but this was amazing. It tasted wonderful with the fried onions. The pastrami is also good with mustard. And don't forget to get a Dr. Brown's soda, which compliments any meal.

Cousin was looking to do kosher Fleisch tonight, so we met at Essen NY kosher deli in Midwood,…read moreBrooklyn, NYC. First time there since they relocated. Much larger space than expected. Diverse menu for a Jewish deli including bbq, Chinese, etc. Seated right away and not crowded for dinner after today's fast ended. We all got jumbo sandwiches and took half home: Rueben, hot Romanian pastrami lean and corned beef lean and turkey. Unlimited coleslaw and pickles which were excellent. Sandwiches were good not great. Service on point, but the server seemed quite unhappy and apathetic. Ambiance is basic with sone Jewish memorabilia. Prices were appropriate for kosher meat restaurants. Warning: 20% service charge. I didn't see any post about it entering the restaurant or on the menu. Only 3 in our party. My favorite kosher deli in the states remains the 2nd Ave deli in Manhattan.

Worth the trek from the city…read more Absolutely phenomenal sandwiches. The roast beef sandwich was the standout--thinly sliced, incredibly tender roast beef layered with sweet caramelized onions and gooey melted cheese, all brought together with a deep, rich beef gravy that was perfect for dipping. The Godfather, their Italian cold cut sandwich, was also a hit--bold, flavorful, and expertly balanced. Both were served on an Italian seeded hero that was impressively fresh and perfectly toasted, giving just the right crunch. To top it off, the owner personally came out to check on us and thank us for our patronage. It's rare to see that kind of hospitality these days. He also let us sample their buffalo shrimp was more of a sweet and sour style fried shrimp/prawn. Delicious An amazing local spot that clearly takes pride in both their food and their service. Highly recommend.

I used to be more then a regular; a booster (as in supporter, not petty thief) of not simply…read moreBrancaccio's... but of Joe himself. A truly genuine, authentic salt of the earth guy. And one of the greatest chefs I've ever had the pleasure to know. And I've known my share of cats who made their livings and their names in a kitchen. From the very first day I discovered Brancaccio's I felt a magic a connection that I knew would change my life, make my belly really f--kin' happy and set my soul a-dancin'. On that first day Joe and I talked about the great food of NY; most of it gone but not forgotten by those who were of the time. We both lamented the lose of the legendary Zito's bakery on Bleecker. I can't tell you how long it had been since I'd ran into someone who even remembered Zito's much less was intimate with the place. I knew I was home. This was well over a decade ago. I won't go into specific things on Joe's menu that are worth trying because quite literally... everything is amazing. It just is! Soul satisfying beyond my ability to do justice to. I'd also like to throw out as an example of the humanity of the joint and it's capt. Joe... Joe treats his employees with respect, R E S P E C T as Aretha belted, dignity and the aforementioned humanity which is beautiful and virtually non-existent these days as far as I can see... and you can taste it in his food. That's just a big-ass Right On! Finally I like to say two or three things: First that as I initially identified myself as "used to being a regular" as and this is by no means a boo-hoo thing simply a fact... I fell pretty ill for a while and am just now beginning my reentry into the world. And as a matter of fact during the recent drag of days for me a thought kept slamming into the walls of my head and that was that I couldn't wait to once again sink my teeth into Joe's food. Well that day is here and I'm salivating at the thought. "I'll take one of everything my man!" Secondly, understand I've never written anything like this... I'm actually down on the whole review culture. So if this sounds at all "over the top"... or written by a cousin who Joe owes money to, get that thought right out of your head. All of I said is sincere and one from the heart. And lastly an additional "oh yea baby" to Joe's taste in music.

As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

Was in the area and looking for a quick sandwich option…read more Came into Albemarle and they seemed like they had a variety of options (breakfast sandwiches, rolls/hero's etc). I chose to go with the JJ Sandwich (breaded chicken, mozzarella, jalapeños etc). I get to the cash register and a woman rings me up and mumbles something in another language to the man who's preparing the food she then proceeds to add a dollar onto my order and doesn't tell me why. Upon opening the sandwich, the chicken cutlet is soggy and seems like it was made days ago. Not sure if there other sandwiches are better but this sandwich for $13.50 was extremely underwhelming. I could've gotten a lunch special at a Thai restaurant down the street for cheaper and better food.

I will get the occasional breakfast sandwich (like an egg and cheese or bec), or a turkey/cheese sandwich for lunch or dinner. Otherwise, they have a pretty good menu of other types of sandwiches. Depending on who is making the sandwich, it will vary. Definitely a safe bet either way. They also have your usual snacks like potato chips, sodas, beers, and what not. I've been here a number of times because I'll be in the neighborhood. This is definitely one of my favorite bodegas around. My favorite part being how personable and friendly the family who runs it. They've now become a familiar face. Overall, a recommend for if you happen to be passing by. It's conveniently located by the F/G subway stop, so it's hard to miss.
