Caplansky's is a place that hits home.
I usually do the 1lbs'er with a side of pickles. The meat is very tender and moist. I especially can tasted the rendered fat that the meet absorbs which give it a bit of extra dimension. Also, the brine salt does its job well too.
The beef tongue is to die for as well. You'll never think something sounds that gross will be that tasty. It's just really worth a try. I was given a sample when asked.
Also, I have to say the corned-beef and has is pretty awesome too. Its a mixture of has and beef topped with eggs. Above average dish for what it is.
Overall, the place is decent, with friendly - although sometimes slow - service. It's definitely a 3.5 and would recommend to anyone.
