There's only so many places still around like this, and they should be treasured.
Sure it's crowded, and you may need to share a table with strangers like I did. And sure it's touristy and there is a line all the time... But it's an institution that has been around a long time and will hopefully be for a many years more.
The food is good, and the prices are reasonable. When it comes to the smoked meat sandwich you have a choice between lean or regular with more fat. If you want it to be moister don't go with the lean but either I'm sure tastes great. When I was there we got a fries to share, and also a pickle to share which I think was a good call. The pickles are big and the fries are enough for two people to share. The other big thing there is to get a cherry soda. So do yourself a favour and get a smoked meat sandwich, some fries and ketchup, some pickle and a cherry soda and you'll be good to go
