Reading the reviews I was anxious to have the pastrami sandwich, so come Monday I hold back on my breakfast with the expectation for a great lunch and drive to Pancer's Deli just to find out they are closed on Mondays
Oh we'll - had to go somewhere else - I did BBQ - wow that was a mistake - but this is for another review.
So anyway I got up this morning with the anticipation for lunch and was at the deli at 12:30 sharp.
Ordered from the "today special" pastrami on rye and asked to extra large it with a Kayser bun.
The special came with a pickle, slaw and French fries, only after ordering I found out that you can sub the fries with potato salad.. Ok maybe next time
Started with the pickle - sorry guys but good pickle need to be crispier (much) the one I got was mushi - taste was ok
The slaw was good and tasted bit on the sour side - not my personal preference but I can see customers liking it.
The bun saw a better day - that was a shame - I actually took the pastrami off the bun and left it aside. Sometimes I think it's better not to offer the option if it is not as good as it can be,
The pastrami was ok. I would have spice it up a bit, but again I can see adherence to local taste
No doubt that the best on my plate were the fries which were fresh, crispy and the way I like them
Service was quick and efficient - place is clean and definitely being taking after.
In all it wasn't as great as I have expected from reading previous reviews but wasn't bad either
I think that it is more matter of personal taste and interpretation of the " great Jewish pastrami on rye" it's no Katz from lower Manhattan but a good meal for reasonable price
I will stop by again to check the other specials.
