| - This will be a bit of a strange review, I actually sent a dish back, but I like the place...I am jumping ahead of myself.
Last week I was feeling a yucky, the start of a flu bug, or maybe the end, it's hard to tell as these things don't hit me that hard, maybe just some man flu lol.
Anyways, the wife suggested we stop in here for a sandwich and bowl of soup.
This place is straight out of the 70's !
The decor, the menu, the service...All in a good way. We got there around 7pm, the place was slammed, a quick look around showed one waiter and one bus boy..Oh oh I think, this could spell trouble.
But let me say this straight away, if the owner of Weiss's is reading this, give those kids more money, whatever you are paying them is not enough, rarely have I seen two people work an entire restaurant so well, the service was great, friendly and well perfect.
The order was simple.
One bowl of Matzah ball soup, two orders of pastrami on rye with Swiss cheese and fries.
Well the soup order was for a small bowl, we both had some and there was plenty left over, the broth was great, perfect for a sicky like me, my wife said the Matzah ball was good, as ever, we will take her word for it as they are not my thing.
Now the problem, the sandwiches came out, and honestly, I thought they had made a mistake, if you had blindfolded me and said what meat is this I would have said corned beef, the closest thing I can equate the meat to is, well if you have ever tried the pastrami sandwich at Subway, it was close to that, just not as good...So yeah it was bad. As the wife like corned beef (which the server said it wasn't and on closer inspection it did look like pastrami so I will give him the benefit of the doubt there) she kept hers, mine went back, instead I went for an open faced hot roast beef sandwich with gravy.
Now that was a home run, great beef, tender and juicy, the gravy was perfect, just a great sandwich.
All in all a good meal, it could have been a disaster (though I will say, how does a Jewish deli serve bad pastrami) but they fixed the issue I had and again, the waiter was fantastic.
So yes I recommend this place, maybe you should ask for a slice of the pastrami before ordering though to make sure it matches your taste.
