I don't care what anyone else says, I LOVE Caplansky's.
Their smoked meat is amazing, and I was THRILLED on a recent visit (Dec '12) that they had gotten gluten-free bread (major score). Back in my pre-gluten free days, I LOVED the latka's (amazing with apple sauce) and their bread pudding (the perfect combo of pudding and cake, and totally delicious). Oh, and my boyfriend and I love the 'Super Extra Hot' mustard so much we now keep it at home.
The servers are always friendly, and I've never had any issues with the wait times. If I lived closer, I'd probably be here every week.
