Their matzah ball soup is delish. Its got noodles n small peices of chicken in it besides the matzah ball.

Known for their hot pastrami sandwiches! I got the jumbo Turkey double decker sandwich and was not disappointed. Their bread is so fresh, baked daily. Their meat is so fresh, sliced to order! A little pricey, but worth every dime! Friendly staff and spacious seating make this place a must stop. Easily noticed from the road on route 88 in brick. Definitely stop if you're in the area!!!

By far my spot. Mom & pops place. Good food, nice people. The soups are very good, but then again so are their omelets or breakfast dishes.

Mediocre Pastrami food followed by a 3.75% service charge for using a debit card. Get with the program it's 2019 Toms River's parking meters take debit cards.

Very average food that is way too expensive... Not impressed after buying a lb. of brisket for a party.. bland tasteless. Place is not clean looking either.. I was truly disappointed after being told they were the best in the area... Wait and go north to Edison or NYC for the real deal...

Tried to order a pork roll and egg sandwich with one slice of extra pork roll and got charged $2 more for extra pork roll bc lady says she doesn't give just one more piece extra. Ok lady no problem! I'll take my business elsewhere where the customer can get what they want without ridiculous condescending snarky remarks.
