Lox, Stock and Brisket had a soft opening two days ago and is already off to a fantastic start. When my husband and I went in, the chef was super friendly and more than willing to make suggestions. House cured and smoked, thick cut, juicy brisket is the real star here!
I ordered a #1 ($11) without bread (FYI- they will be adding gluten free wraps/bread in the near future), which came with brisket, mustard and delicious house-made dill cucumber (quick pickles). These and the spears they serve on the side are NOT sweet- Yay! The potato salad accompaniment might be the best I've ever had in a restaurant. My husband had a #10 ($8) without cheese and really enjoyed the egg/brisket combo on a bagel. Their bagels come from Unger's, over on Taylor Rd. Aside from the food being delicious, we really appreciated the inclusion of local ingredients in a few of the items on the menu.
Clevelanders are loyal to their delis and we certainly have the best ones already located on the east side, so it will be interesting to see how business goes for this new addition to the mix. I would say that the quality of ingredients here and attention to preparation is much higher than other options in the area, so Lox, Stock and Brisket isn't just another same old Jewish deli. Can't wait to go back and try their turkey Rueben next!
