  Pretty great pastrami sandwich despite the rather unfriendly cook. The cashier was very friendly though and the selection is decent for a late night snack.

  Typical NY Deli.  Closeby to home, so its convenient and open pretty late.  Recently tried their pizza, and I've gotta say, its not bad at all. I prefer a reheated slice to a fresh pie from here.  Tonight I tried the cheesesteak. Again, not bad at all - the cook pulled out  deli roast beef and I was puzzled at first, but it tastes like a decent chipped beef cheesesteak.  The bread was good and soft too, I'm glad they didn't toast it which I've seen in some delis.
  
  The guy behind the counter insisted the sandwich was $8.50 , when on the big menu board above his head it reads $8.00.   He kept mumbling something and said, ok I'll take off $.50... Thanks?
  
  There are some user reviews of this place that are not recommended that give a more accurate reflection of the overall quality of the place.

  I have to say the food is good and reasonably priced but the service to nonwhites is horrendous!  They act as if they are doing you a favor!  They bend over backwards to serve white people but if you are a fellow Hispanic they look at you like you are scum and are bothered to serve you!  I wish the service behind the counter was better!

  I've had an ok experience here (mixed feelings), the food isn't the greatest, but it gets the job done while being the closest deli in the neighborhood of Stuytown.
  
  I always get a bagel TOASTED with cream cheese. However, the last time I came here, they didn't toast it and when I asked they said "well you didn't ask" (in a rude tone with I don't give a F about you look). So yea, maybe I shouldn't assume (but I never had to ask before, they would usually ask me)...that's no way to talk to a customer....
  
  Sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich
  -My usual if I don't get a bagel
  -I suggest asking for hot sauce it you like spicy, just to give it some juice since the buns are sometimes on the dry side.
  -They are generous in terms of the price to sandwich ratio, but I wouldn't say it is the top notch breakfast sandwich, but it is the most worth it in terms of price compared to the other things they sell here.
  
  Overall: try at your own risk and just ignore the attitude of the workers....
