| - I was up in Scottsdale doing some shopping on Saturday, and decided to stop here and get something to eat. I love deli food, and figured this was the place to stop.
I dont dislike this place. I could (and would) take my mom here and probably have a good time. Thats not my point. but, I found a few things that irked me, and I was torn between 3 and 4 stars.
When I walked in, I noticed its cafereria style deli. You stand in line, order, and they scoop your food onto a plate and serve you. The line was long, and if I was in a hurry, I would have turned around and left. I stayed, because I wanted to try the food.
My first grave disapointment was not only the long line, but the menu overhead. It seemed kind of McDonalds-ish, and slim. I grabbed a menu and realized they have a ton more dishes that didnt appear to be overhead. really? why is that? Delis are supposed to have huge menus! argh.
Anyways, I didnt want a HUGE meal. I wanted a light lunch, not a 10 pound pastrami sandwich for 10 million dollars. After reviewing the menu, I decided to get the 3 Latkes (potato pancakes) for $5.95 and a drink. I placed my order, and the service was nice enough. (no complaints there, really.) It was awkward because I moseyed up to the register and paid, for a grand total of $8.04. (ouch!)
I mean, its a deli, and deli food aint cheap, but dam, thats a lot, considering Im not gettting waiter service, sit down treatment, and its not like your making it fresh for me from a batter on the grill. You probably have some premade latkes that your reheating for me, and serving. when they came out, thats kind of how they tasted. They werent bad, but they were mostly greasy, and kind of floppy. Usually, a good latke is more firm, and will have some "grease" from the grill, but this was more then that. Meh.
Anyways, seating was at your own risk. Lots of big party tables, and a few scattered 2 tops. I guess they anticipate lots of large 8 person parties to come here and dine? I kind of feel bad for taking up a person table because theres no where else to sit.
This place isnt bad, and its a great alternative to Chompies. I dont want to sound overly critical, but I feel like its got room for improvement. Some of the food looked kind of sad, and considering how expensive it is, I think they could do a little bit more with presentation. I mean, scooping me brisket out of a hotpan and charging me an arm and a leg seems kinda poopy, ya know?
