Not sure I have much to add relative to others. It's an institution and it's the sort of restaurant that does exactly one thing. The meat is flavorful and tasty. I'm not sure it's quite in the 5-star range of being something that I'd travel out of my way for; my personal taste prefers pastrami (I value spice over salt). Things other than the meat were less impressive; the pickle was definitely underwhelming compared to what I'd expect from this iconic of an institution.
