This is a big deli that knows how to get people fed at lunchtime.
That's what they do and they do it well.
People from the East Coast that I bring here for business lunches are uniformly impressed. It compares favorably with some of the more popular and venerable delis in Manhattan.
The signature pastrami/brisket/bbq sandwiches are the main attraction, and are quite tasty.
It's a good, very basic, proletarian eating establishment.
So that's what Park Central Deli does well.
What it doesn't do well is provide comfort to people with vegan/vegetarian diets. It also doesn't do well by people looking for affectations and decor, or a place to pose with various Apple products while wearing earth-tone turtlenecks and drinking expensive coffee. Don't come here if any of the above might be you.
This is not a hair salon. This is a barbershop.
You go to Park Central Deli to eat, just like you go to a barbershop to get a haircut.
Enjoy!
