My boyfriend was craving a Lox Bagel Sandwich. Unfortunately they didn't have any bagels when we…read morevisited later in the day. I settled on a Corn Beef and him one of their Pastrami on Rye. My corn beef with swiss cheese and mayo on an onion roll (not really a Rye Bread girl) was pretty good. Their prices are a bit high. Both sandwiches were $19.49 each. They weren't huge either. They guys behind the counter were very lively. It's a small place with no places to eat. This is carry out only.

Star Deli is one of those legendary places that's been around forever--and for good reason. It's…read moredefinitely not the cheapest deli out there, but once you taste the food, you understand exactly why. The quality is absolutely top‑notch. Their tuna is unreal--dangerously good--and the corned beef is everything you'd hope for and more. I'll be honest: when you walk up, the place doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside, it feels like a small, old‑school grocery store that hasn't changed much over the years. But don't let that fool you for a second. This is one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" spots where the food does all the talking--and it speaks loud and clear. Star Deli is a staple, and honestly, I feel like I shouldn't even have to explain why it's great. It's been here forever because it deserves to be. If you're not getting Star Deli, wow--you're seriously missing out. This place is an absolute classic, and the food is nothing short of amazing. ---

I've been coming to Steve's ever since they opened. My first job was at the hardware store at the…read moreother end of the strip mall, so I've tried everything on their menu at least once. I don't dine in, so my reviews are exclusively based on my take out experience. I have moved out of town so I haven't had the opportunity to enjoy them as much as I used to. Their chicken soup is phenomenal. Absolutely the standard for what chicken soup should be. Fresh carrots, shredded white meat chicken and flavorful broth. Their kreplach are tender and filled with nicely ground and seasoned meat as well. Corned beef and pastrami are excellent and fresh. Chicken and tuna salads are both moist without being soggy and well flavored. The carrot cake is moist and delicious as well. The only thing is that you will pay dearly for the experience. It's expensive but in my opinion, treat yourself once in a while. It's all delicious.

Wow. This place has really gone downhill. I ordered a grilled cheese. Not hard, right? It came out…read moreburnt on the edges, but cheese not melted. I asked if they could make one and melt the cheese. Please don't worry. They gave it back. Still not melted. I asked for a fresh one. The first sandwich came w chips. The server had such a terrible, shitty attitude. She brings it back for a 2nd time wet and soggy w NO chips. She actually said, "Did you want more chips". Omg. I'm not going back. Soooooo disappointing. Do better, Steve's!!!!
