| - When we walked in yesterday we were hopeful to find a closer option than Chompie's for good deli. We were wrong. My kids had just gotten over a stomach bug, so we ordered them the chicken noodle soup. My husband watched the waitress dish it in a bowl, and then microwave it! If we wanted microwaved soup, we wouldn't have paid $4.50 a bowl!
I ordered a vegetarian sandwich in an attempt to eat something fresh, and it had so much cheese and butter I couldn't finish it, I didn't realize I was getting a grilled cheese sandwich with a few vegetables! The sandwich I ordered had avocado in it, which I love, but you couldn't taste with all the cheese in it!
My husband ordered the #10, pastrami and rye. It was ok, it's hard to mess up pastrami on rye with mustard, but it wasn't worth $10.50.
We decided to order dessert, got rice pudding (one) for my two girls to share, and a brownie for my husband and I to share. Again, we watched the waitress use the microwave to heat these up! I was so shocked I didn't know what to say to them! It's ridiculous! I'm sure no NY deli in their right minds would use a microwave, and if they did, they'd have the decency to do it in the back away from patrons eyes, it's like a slap in the face!
We paid $50 for 2 adult sandwiches, 2 bowls of soup, 4 drinks, 1 rice pudding, 1 brownie, and 1 black and white cookie. The quality didn't live up to the price and we will not be back.
