| - I decided to try LOX STOCK AND BRISKET without knowing much about it other than its unusual name. It was well-worth the visit. I left happy and satisfied!
The place is small, cool and very accessible. It feels like an old neighborhood place and you get a warm, welcoming greeting, even on your first visit.
The menu is small, but very inclusive of deli favorites with a GREAT CHEF twists, They take food seriously here, unlike some of the bigger, more well-known delis in this one-time Jewish deli neighborhood. I usually avoid these delis because of their heavy hand with the sodium content in their food. And food is often served with no pride, slapped down on the table. That was not a problem here,
The brisket sandwich I had was rich in taste and pleasing in presentation. Lightly marinated cucumber slices on the sandwich and a garlicky pickle spear on the side were very appealing for me.
Anthony, the owner, is a very knowledgeable guy in the food world, having been part of several big-name restaurants in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York. He is a personable young man who makes the customer feel at home and well-fed. His mother makes the cheesecake, which I will go back for very soon.
I'll wait to try the Matzoh Ball soup when it's less that 90 degrees outside, but I have the feeling it's delicious!
It's a convenient place to get to, parking was easy and the ambiance was comfortable. Its a great place to duck into for a wonderful sandwich!
