"Corned Beef". - Jack Kravitz
Having experienced some great deli food in NYC, Chicago and Philly, it all pales in comparison to Kravitz. The place should be mecca for all Jewish deli enthusiasts. With 70+ years of expertise in top-shelf corned beef cooked in-house, freshly baked bagels and kimmelwick rolls.. I couldn't be luckier to live within a 4 minute drive.
Where to start.. let's just go with an item-by-item run through of my favorites:
Lamb on Weck - Hot sliced, grilled lamb on a fresh kimmelwick bun.. add some cheddar and a side of creamy horseradish and you've got the best deli sandwich I've ever put in my mouth. It's good with their rare roast beef as well.. but the lamb (cooked in-house) is off the charts.
Northside/Grilled Reuben - Corned beef is their thing, and a traditional grilled reuben is the best expression of corned beef excellence. The Northside swaps out kraut for coleslaw. Delicious.
Corned Beef Hash - A huge portion of fried potatoes, peppers, and onions with generous bites of their glorious corned beef throughout. With a fried egg on top and an everything bagel with cream cheese on the side.. you couldn't ask for a better breakfast. Throw your leftovers (you're sure to have leftovers) in a skillet with some olive oil the next morning for a repeat dose of pure comfort food.
The Hannah K - My wife swears by this sandwich - hummus with Israeli salad on a grilled pita - usually with some feta added on. For those that don't have a ravenous craving for meat, it's a winner.
Classic Breakfast Bagel - Another simple, well-made sandwich: fried pastrami, egg and cheese. Used to be my stand-by for brunch along with a potato latke w/ sour cream and applesauce. I still come back to it from time to time.
Pierogies & Halushki - Only served on Fridays - their halushki is excellent.. and why not throw in some pierogies for just a few bucks more?
African Peanut Soup - I'm really not 100% on what all is in the African peanut soup.. there's rice.. some ground peanut.. tomato.. anyway.. it's not always on the menu board, but when it's available I can't pass up a cup or a bowl. As with any of their soups they get some extra points for the Lance Captain's Wafers on the side.
Jack's Chili - One of the heartiest chili's I've ever had.. it makes Wendy's or Campbell's taste like tomatoey-beef water. Don't expect it to be spicy.. but it's a savory, flavorful bowl.
Spinning Bowl Salad - Not that you'd ever think of ordering a salad at a deli,
but this one is loaded - hard-boiled egg, blue cheese crumbles, big croutons, and "Famous" dressing.
Miscellaneous Deli Items - I'd recommend picking up some stuffed grape leaves when they're available. The handsliced lox is pricey - as handsliced lox tends to be - but it's probably the freshest cured salmon you can find in the area. As mentioned above, the kimmelwick rolls are outstanding. If you're just looking to pick up some fresh deli meat to take home, you can't go wrong with taking a half dozen kimmelwick rolls with you. Take a few brownies with you too.
Hope this has been thorough and informative. Whatever the rating scale, Kravitz gets the maximum number of stars available. -

Well... I brought my son here because I was in the mood for a corned beef sandwich and I see their ads everywhere. I love a good corned beef but they are hard to find. Let me say that Kravitz knows how to make a sandwich!!
I ordered "the northside" which is a corned beef on rye, with swiss and slaw (of course I got the extra large version). Wow! The sandwich was huge (not as big as their ads, but huge none the less). It was loaded with homemade, thin sliced corned beef just the way I like it.
My son ordered the Deb's turkey. He couldn't finish so I helped myself to the rest of his. It was also very tasty. I will definitely be back.
I guess my only complaint is that the sandwiches are pricey. Mine was almost $10. But other things on the menu were cheaper. -

We love their real NY Deli food and the matzah ball soup and the Mediterranean salad. My daughter's favorite is the northside

Probably the best bagels I've ever had in my life--had some during a visit to Youngstown summer 2003. Of course, there are not many places that come this close to good bagels on the West Coast.
