We were in a rush so just did a takeaway order. The meat was pretty dry and some of the cuts of meat were quite thick. Paired with dry rye bread, it wasn't exactly the greatest sandwich I've ever had. We also got some pickles which were quite flavourless. I really only learned of Schwartz's after watching the Montreal episode of Tony Bourdain's Layover. It was somewhat disappointing as we had high hopes for awesome sandwiches. We have also been to Katz's in New York and vastly prefer the sandwiches there.
I'm not sure if the eat-in experience would have been better.
