| - Schwartz's was founded by Reuben Schwartz back in 1928, and the same location still pumps out the smoked meat that uses the original recipe of spices. The hubs and I came here late in the evening to check them out. We sat at the counter and ordered a Smoked Meat sandwich with mustard on rye bread. There was a generous amount of the smoked meat, which tasted pretty much like corned beef, with slightly of an off-taste to it. Not too much fat, but I was curious as I've heard that you can request the different levels of fat (that wasn't offered to us). It would have been nice to have more rye bread slices, or the option to request some more. There is a bottle mustard on the counter, though, for convenience sakes. Service was friendly, when available; however, the guys behind the counter seemed more transfixed in socializing and not really tending to the patrons dining-in. The place is cramped and there were many people dining in; however, I had an issue with the strong urine odor in the dining area, so that can definitely lead to appetite loss. Cash only, and you pay up at the front. Just note that if you plan on getting there early, smoked meat does not get served until after 10:30 AM.
