I think it's hilarious that the only person who gave this place 1 star is some schmuck who was upset that the chicken livers weren't organic. What do you expect? Unlike lady Alaska, I am thankful that all of Scott's product comes directly from Brooklyn. I really think that is the story behind this Deli's 21 years of success.
Why have I never heard of this deli in the years I have lived here. We went in on Good Friday and there wasn't a soul in the store. We ate a full meal and still no one came in. The wait staff and owner seemed relieved. I think this place does amazing business during the day. Not to mention, the lovely waitress told us stories of how she took 3 parties the other night.
The food here is amazing. My wife and I shared the smoked fish platter (which is $10 less than chompies and almost twice the size) My dad had the liver and onions which to him is food for the soul. I tried his and it was really good. I can't wait to go back there again this week. The prices are right, the portions are amazing and the quality is above standard for a Phoenix deli. This place blows Chompies out of the water.
I am so thankful we get a slice of New York right here in Phoenix. I wasn't a big fan of the mish mosh soup. I'd stay away from it. But everything else makes up for it.
