I like my pastrami sandwiches like I like my men - old fashioned, spicy, and with lean meat.
My husband was the one who ordered the pastrami. Getting it "old fashioned" is the way to go here because it is spicer, and he specified lean meat. He was…More »

This place is so popular that on the Saturday night we visited, our party of four had about a 45 minute wait (despite being told it would be 30 minutes).…More »

My Reviews of the Day (22)I'm lucky enough to have had a couple of 'em. I find it helps to get selected if the first line of your review mentions man meat or taking a dump. Or for some reason at least in my case, if your review mentions kabobs. |
