I love corned beef...and salami...and pastrami...and most cured meats for that matter (like bacon...mmm...bacon!). I'm partial to Manny's in Chicago even after journeys to the supposed best delis in the world in New York City. So, I wanted to love Stalzy's, I really did. It's a classic deli! Right in my neighborhood! The design and decor from the logo is very well done. The staff was friendly, and nice when I dined. The menu was limited and focused on breakfast all day and classic deli fare. It really had all the ingredients going for a great restaurant... until the food came.
A very small for $9 sandwich promptly arrived. Thin, unsubstantial, and flavorless rye bread was dominated and soaked through with grease by massively oversalted corned beef and pastrami. Supposedly lean cuts of each were heavily striated with lots of fat, which was made worse by my inability to get ultra thin sliced meat because they preslice it. Chewing through these thick fatty layers just made me feel gross.
To top it all off, they didn't have any plain yellow mustard. They only had the "deli" kind with horseradish that I hate.
Overpriced bad food with small servings in a lovely setting near my house served with a smile. I won't be returning.
