Not sure about all the hate with these reviewers... This is definitely not Goodman's, but it stands well on its own.
Corned beef was tender and good flavored. More of a fatty cut, but I would prefer it to lean towards the fattier end of the spectrum anyways. Too lean usually indicates less flavor.
My friend had the pastrami. Meh. I thought it was ok.
We both ordered onion rings. Decent.
The waitress was very nice, and quick. All of the staff seemed friendly.
So...not Goodman's, but in some ways that was a plus. The old Goodman's had GREAT corned beef. But holy hell, the place was filthy. And what was up with all those gross, dusty Colonial Club liquor bottles??
This place was clean. Very clean. I was looking for dust or grease. None found.
Found out this is owned by Marc Glassman (of Marc's stores). Now it all makes sense.
I'll come back and try more of the menu. Got a matzoh ball soup to go. Looked yummy. I'll let you know.
Is this the BEST corned beef I've ever had? Probably not, but I really enjoyed my sandwich. I look forward to a return visit.
