The brisket sandwich was unbelievably good and tender. The meat had taste and was juicy to the last bite. I liked the turkey and would recommend it but it was not talking tender to me the day I ate it. The corned beef was cut too thick and was tough. Again not as good as everyone says but it had great seasoning. The matzoh balls were hard and the soup was just so-so. Not recommended on my hit list. Amen.

I think that may be shortly in store! Thanks for the suggestion. Try the pastrami topped with some of their fresh-made chopped liver. I don't think that I have to describe that, for you to get the idea of how amazing it is. Alicia, I've never yet had the turkey sandwich there. I think that may be shortly in store!

The tenderness of it is un-replicable. Once you try that turkey you can never eat any other. I was told it is Andy’s special touch that makes it so tender. I believe it.

His uncle Hershel thought he should be with his family, so he went to try to persuade his brother to go. It was at that moment that the Nazis closed in on the synagogue. They saw the devastation happen, but had to hide and could only watch, or they would have been killed as well. Steve's father and uncle hid from the Germans for months, stealing potatoes from locals to survive. They were taken in by the Russians and eventually taken to America after the war. The way that Steve honors his family, the traditions and story is still alive. I think it must take a story so breathtaking to incite a dedication so pure that the meat can be that good.

I love hearing what the story is behind a restaurant, thanks for posting! The coloring on that meat looking so so so good! I love hearing what the story is behind a restaurant, thanks for posting!
