    Steak Au Poivre with Potato Kugel  (Valentines Special)
    Julia C.

    Came here for Valentine's Day dinner with a pal! I can say that it was a really great choice for a special occasion dinner: the ambiance, music, lighting, and overall vibe were fantastic. Because we were there for Valentines, they offered a special menu, which was a fun mix-up to have the option for (in addition to some of their usual classic menu favorites)! The special menu felt super thoughtfully planned, but in the end, I did not feel like OVERJOYED that we picked this spot for this price. Our total was basically $100pp when it was all said and done, and while it was a treat to get a four course meal, I felt like $100pp elsewhere could have gone a lot farther AND gotten me more of what I like! The food was tasty. Service was kind.

    General Muir is traditional Jewish food done right, and it is absolutely one of my favorite dining spots in Atlanta! The staff/servers are friendly and helpful. I've not had one negative experience here and the food- delish! Servings are generous, bagels and pastries are made in house, and the pastrami goes through quite a process of a10 day brine, 6 hour slow cook and 6 hour steam. Highlights on our meals the last two days: *General Muir- 2 eggs cooked your way, crispy pastrami, Latkes - loved my General Muir breakfast with perfectly cooked poached eggs. *Avenue A is a party in your mouth! Do yourself a favor and request an everything bagel rather than regular. This yummy party begins with my requested everything bagel, Lox, cream cheese, and crowned with diced cucumber and purple onion, fresh dill, avocado, and grapefruit. Delicious!! *Latkes are homemade yumminess and served with the traditional condiments of sour cream and applesauce. *My seasonal sweet potato latte was Autumn in a cup - warm, comforting and the perfect autumn spice blend! I can't wait to return!

    Jewish deli-style spots are few and far between where I live in central FL so this place was a genuinely pleasant surprise. We stopped in for brunch and really enjoyed our meal. I ordered the nova on an everything bagel, and the lox was fresh, buttery, and exactly what I was hoping for. I also tried the matzoh ball soup which had a flavorful broth and a matzoh ball with the perfect texture, not too dense and not too soft IYKYK... My husband had the pastrami and said it tasted authentic and lean. On our way out, we grabbed a fresh challah for $6. The only miss for us was the black and white cookie, which you can probably skip. The restaurant itself is large, clean, and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, a great spot when you're craving classic Jewish deli comfort food.

    I am sad... The menu changed... The latkes changed The chopped liver was just ok But I did have the pastrami sandwich which was great They still carry Dr Browns cream soda which is a win in my book. My wife's salted bagel and cream cheese wasn't anything to write home about. The service is still top notch The ambiance is still great But I'm not impressed with what we ordered. Won't be back until I hear different from my buds...

    Pastrami Banh Mi

    Excellent pastrami (we ordered the seasonal banh mi) and a nice fluffy cinnamon roll. The smoked salmon was thin and not much different from the grocery store. The bagel with it was just okay, which was not worth the price. The atmosphere is cute, but we were pretty rushed on service. Sit down to check in under 40 minutes. That said, definitely worth it to get a sandwich.

    We've been to this location several times and always enjoy it. The service is always great, and the food is consistently well-prepared and delicious. There can be a bit of a wait--especially on weekends--so plan accordingly. If you park in the deck across from the restaurant, they will validate your parking when you pay for your meal. Just a heads up: it can get loud inside, particularly when it's a full house. That said, we've always had fast, friendly service. We love The General Muir so much that we frequently place to-go orders. If you're going for brunch, I highly recommend the French toast. The portion is generous (I couldn't finish it!), and the bread is dense, warm, and soaked in syrup--definitely worth trying. I've had the Chicken Club a few times and have to say, it's the best chicken salad I've ever had. But what we've ordered the most is the pastrami sandwich--it's perfection! It's large enough to satisfy, but my husband often gets the "piled high" version with double the meat. I've only had pastrami here, so I can't compare it to others--but my husband says of all the ones he's tried, this is hands down the best. It's the only thing he orders here.

    Lox bagel
    Amanda S.

    Been to the general Muir a couple of times and I think it's a bit overrated. The service is really good, but I think the food is just ok! The last time I went, I had the lox bagel. I usually like smoked salmon on a bagel, but I wasn't the biggest fan of theirs. The cinnamon roll was just ok too, but not my favorite. Might still come back for brunch, but not sure if this will be a preferred spot

    Came for their breakfast, so glad we made it right on time before their breakfast ended. We got smoked hash and the general. The general was soo good! We enjoyed the pastrami and the latkes. I did not really love the apple sauce as it was a little too sweet. And I wish it paired better. The smoked hash was very good! I definitely enjoyed the different vegetables in this dish. The pastrami was perfectly salty and crispy. I thought the orange juice was okay. It kinda just tasted like carton oj, definitely expect better oj at a breakfast spot. Overall, the food was pretty good and I'd come back to try lunch next time.

    Half a Ruben sandwich and Butternut squash soup.

    The service here was stellar. The waiter was nice, helpful, and patient, and they even offered to get me a chair for my backpack. I got the pastrami sandwich, which comes with a pickle and a side. I chose coleslaw and it was great, not sweet and very crisp. The rye bread was incredibly fresh, on par with Second Avenue Deli and Katz's in NYC. The pastrami was good, not Katz's level but very good and fresh. We also shared the poutine, which was pretty good. My friend got the butternut squash soup and half a Reuben sandwich, which she liked. The decor is nice, and despite the place being full it was not too loud. My friend and I felt like we had plenty of space. Parking tip, the meter maid is very active. My friend got a ticket for overstaying her time, and I watched someone else get a ticket too. Either park in the garage and get your ticket validated or be very careful with on-street parking.

    Pastrami Reuben with piping hot, crispy fries

    One of our most enjoyable dinners in a long time. The great reviews on their pastrami sandwiches inspired us to drive into town from Lawrenceville and I'm so happy we did. We were expecting a more casual deli type eatery but instead found a clean, modern, crisp room, tasteful, with candles on the tables which I assume was their dinner setup. (and they take reservations in the evening) Our waiter, Jackson, couldn't have been better. He was so personable and helpful and the service was better than many high end restaurants I've been to. The wait staff seem to be efficient yet invisible, showing up with perfect timing to see if you needed anything and then slipping away, you never felt crowded. Several other servers said hello as they passed by and the atmosphere was just very friendly and welcoming. Our pastrami Reuben was excellent, tender meat and gooey melted Swiss with sauerkraut on grilled rye. My fries were plentiful, but better yet, hot and crisp, just perfect. My husbands potato salad was so good (the fresh dill was a nice addition) we took an extra container home with us to keep us from fighting over the leftovers. All in all, I can't say enough about what a nice evening we had, we'll be back for sure, maybe for lunch when we're in the area, which is often. Thank you for a nice example of customer attentiveness with great food.

    This place was so good! We had been wanting to try it for a while and finally came. The food was really good and it came out super fast. The service was great the staff were all super kind. They also have parking available in a garage across the street. I would definitely recommend

    Go here. Eat the food. It's fantastic. I have been frequenting TGM for years and it does not fail to disappoint. I love everything I've had - delicious burger, great bagels, and chicken salad is incredible. Get the crispy pastrami! Service is always great, staff is friendly, professional and knows the menu. Ambiance - it's a deli. Not romantic, a bit loud at times.

I inquired and can confirm the main ingredients actually come from NY: Rye bread, pastrami, corned beef. They also have bagels from NY, and you can buy bread/bagels to take home! Ok, let's discuss this REUBEN masterpiece. They have a few Reuben options, and I selected the NY Reuben which seemed like a good idea and comes as a triple decker. A good sandwich starts with good bread, and this IS GOOD BREAD. This rye was soft and didn't have the strong spicy rye flavors, but rather just a mild flavoring...which I really liked. The meat is critical to a Reuben and I can attest that the Pastrami and Corned Beef was phenominal, tender fall-apart deli sliced cuts of meat with incredible flavor. Next a Reuben needs good dressing. I don't know what the dressing is, but it was heavenly. Put all of this together and you have a cravevable meal that will bring you back again! I am not a COLESLAW kind of guy, but this stuff was through the roof! It was not sour like many make it, rather more creamy and watery. It also had a slight sweetness, albeit it wasn't sweet. The seating environment is clean, open and yet has a slight cafeteria feel. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, even though there were many customers at the lunch hour. My server, Amanda, was easy going and helpful when I discussed menu with her. She was not like some waiters that are not helpful in saying "it's all good". I will be back when in Sandy Springs!!!

    I owe Brooklyn Deli an apology for not finding them sooner…read more As a New Yorker turned Atlantan, I have spent the last year quietly lowering my expectations for bagels here. I've had some that were OK. Some that were good-ish. Some that were simply round bread with a hole in the middle. I began to accept that it just wasn't a thing here. And then today I ordered the whitefish bagel from Brooklyn Deli. Oh. My. God. The bagel was chewy, fresh, and actually tasted like a BAGEL. The whitefish was incredible. The whole thing tasted like nostalgia. Like somebody briefly picked me up from Atlanta and dropped me back on 24th and 3rd for brunch. Absolutely remarkable. No notes.

(I'm looking at you, Jack's New Yorker Deli.) But I was in the Ansley Mall neighborhood for some errands and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. It was a Sunday afternoon and the line was out the door so that is usually a good sign. I went with the Brooklyn sandwich (Hot pastrami, coleslaw, swiss, spicy mustard, & Russian dressing). You can opt for the smaller portion of meat (the ATL) or the larger portion (New York). It was just the right amount of coleslaw, mustard and Russian dressing so that the bread wasn't sopping wet. And the pastrami is hot and it wasn't overly greasy either. A nice balance with the side order of potato salad. It was a little more sandwich than I needed for lunch but it was pretty faithful to New York style all things considered. $18.50 for the larger New York version of the Brooklyn sandwich including tax. I was tempted by the Dr. Brown's sodas from back home and all of the pastries and deli items for sale as you are making your way up to the front to place your order. Sunday afternoon is not really the time to shop around because of how busy it gets in there so a return trip is definitely in order.

My husband swears by their latkes, too. Classic, satisfying, and a total win for brunch lovers.

I dont know why it's "korean" since it tasted like a normal cheesesteak but with a few jalapenos. I also wish they added in more jalapenos (I got like 3). 2) Garlic Fries with Ranch: - PROS: Very nice texture with a crispy outside and fluffy inside that is not too dense. The flavor comes from the garlic mince that is on top. The ranch is like a mixture of an aioli and tartar sauce (I think they make it in house, correct me if I'm wrong). - CONS: Inconsistent texture as some of the fries were dense but a few had that good hollow crisp bite. Quite oily too. Overall, I enjoyed the cheesesteak but would probably skip the fries next time. I do believe it is good especially the bread. I don't think it is worth all the hype it gets, but it is good.
