    Absolutely enjoyed my visit here at Protzel's. This place is such an OG deli shop. Reminded me of the ones in New York. I tried the lox and cream cheese and it was so delicious. The corned beef sandwich was plain and simple yet very juicy and tender. I highly recommend ordering the knish. I got the New York style knish and it was loaded with the pastrami and corned beef. It's a must-try. On a busy day, you might have to wait in line for half an hour for your food. They have some limited in-door and outdoor seatings. I would come back for sure to try more of their food.

    Hot pastrami on rye with mustard

    Out and about doing my Saturday errands and realized Protzel's was about to close. I had to make up for a very underwhelming Pastrami sandwich I had gotten for lunch on Friday. Luckily, I was only 10 minutes away and had time to get there before closing. Just in case, I called and placed the order, they said great, see you before 3:00. I arrived in plenty of time and was able to walk right to the counter, no line right before closing. They were getting my sandwich ready so I looked around at all the fun things in proximity to the register. I also had a chat with a guy taking a break, based on the family photo wall, I thought he might be the owner. I let him know I was obsessed with their pastrami on rye and had to get it due to my misfortunate other sandwich experience. He was funny. Counter guy who rang up my order was friendly and quick. I ate a fourth of the sandwich on my way home as a snack. Delicious!

    Protzel's is such a lovely and authentic Jewish deli with a homey vibe to it. It's got all of the essentials for munches, from a pretty comprehensive deli menu to snacks to easy home-cooking items. The staff was great, and there are a few tables and a bar top to dine in. Prices are fair and everything is made to order. I didn't do their most recommended sandwich (partner did and said it was enjoyable) and did their lox bagel instead. The lox felt a bit overwhelming to me (I may just be someone who doesn't like a lot of lox, so what I'm really saying is you're getting a bang for your buck here), but it was otherwise a solid and well-toasted bagel. It was overall a quick and easy meal with no nonsense, and I would definitely come back. You can also call to place your food order in advance.

    I have finally found what I was looking for, a proper Ruben. Showed up at noon and thankfully I called in my order when I was 15 minutes out since there was a line at the counter. Thanks for the delicious lunch. Pics included

    Reuben sandwich, creamy coleslaw and mustard substituted for the standard sauerkraut and Russian dressing.

    We stopped here for lunch the other day while in the area, hadn't visited for a couple of years. Mid-afternoon, traffic was light and a table was easy to find. I ordered the reuben, substituting creamy coleslaw and mustard for the sauerkraut and Russian dressing. It made for a delicious sandwich, perfectly grilled. My wife got the egg salad sandwich on wheat. They were quite generous with the egg salad and she enjoyed it a great deal, only commenting that the celery was diced larger than her preference. The staff was very friendly and responsive. Overall, an excellent experience that will need repeating sooner than later.

    This is my first time having food at this place. There are a few patio seatings in the front of the building. Street parking. The staff here are nice. The meat taste fresh. I liked the bagel sandwich with salmon. The broth taste very clean. I got the bread with potatoes inside. Next visit will try bread with meat stuffings.

    Lox & Cream Cheese

    Step back in time, in the best way! We were in the area and searched Jewish deli to find a bagel and schmear and were pleasantly surprised to find this old school kosher deli. We had the bagel and lox with some STL Goat chips. We also had a bagel with meat and mustard. We hadn't had fresh kosher hard salami like this since the 80s n NY and Long Island. If you want to try Protzels I would suggest calling in your order. There was a steady stream of to go orders going out tge door.

    Egg Salad
    Emerine C.

    Classic Jewish deli with a great selection of sandwiches. I got the egg salad on rye and it was delicious. Service was quick but for people that came in after us the wait was around 15 min for a sandwich--still not bad! I also tried a bite of my boyfriend's black and white cookie and it was good, just a little too spongy in texture for my liking.

    Extras to take home.

    Adorable and authentic mom and pop Jewish deli. Reminds me of my Russian friend. I came for the lox bagel because I can never find one outside of a big city. But I hear that the corned beef is amazing. I would've ordered more, but I want it fresh. You can tell this spot is a neighborhood joint. The service is very personable. I'll try to make it back when I'm in this neighborhood.
