Fast service. Small sandwiches. The meat was flavorful but not worth the price. The beans came in a container with 1/3 full of liquid and definitely have an acquired taste. I was visiting from out of town and the Italian sandwich I got from the North End was so much better. read more

Boston tourist here from Texas. I loved the Rachel sandwich. The quality of the pastrami was fantastic along with the delicious slaw and Russian dressing. It was hard not to go back for seconds!!! read more

The pastrami here is not particularly for me, although I'm used to NY deli style-pastrami. To me, the meat is a bit fatty and to thick. That being said, the sandwich was still fine and the people working at Beantown Pastrami do a good job. I had the Rachel sandwich, which is pastrami with coleslaw on buttered rye. I think it had thousand island dressing too. The bread smelled AMAZING. Seriously, I was standing at the crosswalk sniffing the bag. I think the ratio of coleslaw to pastrami was too skewed too heavily to the slaw though. It was a fine sandwich, just not the sandwich for me. If I try this place again I'll likely order something with corned beef. read more

For a bit of perspective, I like KFC's cole slaw. Beantown Pastrami's cole slaw was just as crisp, but healthier, less sweet, and pink. I preferred their potato salad of the two. $3.50 for 8 oz. read more

First of all the pastrami here is superb. Like others have mentioned it is not sliced but actually fresh pieces of high quality tender pastrami. All the ingredients are fresh. Very tasty. At $9 for a half sandwich it will set you back. Also the sandwich does not hold together as well as I had hoped. However if you are a fan of pastrami you should definitely check this place out. If a $13 or $17 sandwich is above your price range, save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. I used to live in Seattle so I can say that the BPM is no Pike Place, but even PP is touristy. read more

Chris went over and above making me the standard pastrami sandwich. I have special food needs and he didn't have a problem helping me at all! I will be back and if you have a chance stop and eat at this local gem! read more

I've tried this twice. The first time they were out of pastrami. I thought that was pretty amazing a place with pastrami in their name out of.....pastrami. In any event, I got corned beef instead. It was just okay. Recently I decided to give it another shot and this time I got pastrami. It was decent but I wouldn't say it was any more than decent. I've had better pastrami sandwiches and the portion isn't huge for the price (over $14 for a sandwich and a diet soda). Also, the beverage selection isn't great. Overall, as I said it is okay but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

Fantastic!! We had an Absolutely delicious Pastrami and corned beef sandwich on our visit to Boston recently. You'll find them in the Boston Market. Fresh, no nitrates. Make it a point to get your pastrami cuz while you are here. The service is top notch too! The owner took great care of us. Highly recommend Beantown Pastrami. read more

We ordered the classic Reuben and pastrami grilled cheese from Chris, who prepared them to perfection. Great service, great food, always a good experience. Thank you read more

3.5 stars. Solid pastrami spot with plenty of meat on their sandwiches. Could be a bit pricey but if you only get it once in a while, it's not bad. Came on a weekend and it was packed in the market but there was no line at this shop. Seating is at the communal tables next to the shop. 1. Rachel sandwich - Pastrami, cole slaw, ranch sauce. It was quite a bit TOO saucy and thus salty as I was in pursuit of water for hours after lunch; the opposite of a rabid dog. Overall, I'd only come back if my friends took me. read more

Food and Service is fantastic!!! All the meat is hand carved and the Rachel is to die for!

I ordered a 1/2 lb Reuben for a whopping $26 and what a disgrace . The Corned beef was dry ,a little tough and flavorless .I think the marbled rye was Peppridge Farm bread and I am not kidding . They put the Russian dressing on with an eye dropper, I thought they forgot to put it on the sandwich . You would think for $26 dollars it would come with a pickle or a lousy bag of chips but it doesn't.I am from Boston and the food scene here gets worse every single year unless you want to spend a lot of time sitting in traffic driving to this place or that. read more

Pastrami and corned beef were unmatched. Gluten free bread was chefs kiss. Good customer service. Didn't have to wait long. A bit spendy but was worth it. read more

Outstanding pastrami sandwich. Not ridiculously expensive but worth every cent. Top quality in every way.

I'm waffling between three and four stars here. It's a 3.5 even. What's good, nay great, is the namesake: the pastrami. It is brisket on par with any New York name you care to drop, and I've had most of those. Soft, lovely balance of lean and fat, and piles of smoke and pepper. The problems are the bad: - There's not enough of it! People are comparing this to Katz's. A sandwich from Katz barely fits in your mouth. I do not understand the reviews below claiming that the half sandwich is huge. I would happily have had twice the meat in it. - The rye is weird. As in, it has the sweet taste and sort of squishy texture of supermarket bread. There's got to be better rye in this town. - Total tourist trap. Ok, I suppose it's not exactly their fault they're I the Public Market. But the prior two bullets are almost certainly because they need to keep costs low to afford the ridic rent. If I had to do it again, I'd get just a pound of meat, then take it home and make my own damn sandwich. read more

It is next to Mo Rockin Fusion in The Public Market. We are Pastrami snobs, having grown up in the NYC Metro area, so we know good Pastrami. This Pastrami was a bit fatty and dry at the same time. Go figure! It was not terrible but not good either, as I watched the server prepare the sandwich by carefully weighing out the ingredients. Who does that! There was barely any mustard on the sandwich and had to ask for more to get past the dryness. It was as if the pastrami had been in the steamer all day or reheated too many times. It was way overpriced for the size sandwich you received and was not a good value. Additionally, they offered natural sodas which were pretty gross and upsetting to the stomach with their flavoring (though I know they can't control someone else's product;but they do pick their suppliers.) Maybe this is what Bostonians think is Pastrami. If it is, then they better rethink it and visit the NYC Metro area to learn how to make a Pastrami sandwich. read more

I stopped by Boston public market pick up a quick drink, past bean town pastrami and was very intrigued. I asked Chris if they were open (which they were not) and he made a sandwich for me. he was so nice and really went the extra mile to serve us (even tho it was past business hours). The sandwich itself was one of the top 2 best Rueben's I have ever had in my life. Thank you Chris for your amazing customer service and sandwich skills :) read more

Stopped in yesterday and grabbed a pastrami Rueben for lunch. Sooooo good! As my wife wasn't feeling up to walking, I was on my own to find something for her. So grabbed her a turkey sandwich with a tiny bit of mayo. That's it. Her response: BEST turkey sandwich she's ever had! That's quite the response from her as she eats lots of turkey sandwiches! read more

Out of the many many options you have to choose from at the Boston public market, you HAVE to stop here. Best Reuben I've had in my life, better than my grandmas better than anything. My boyfriend and I wanted to sample a lot of different foods. Beantown was our first stop, we ordered one Reuben to share. CHRIS was so nice and walked us through the different types of options they offer. He was so genuine and even walked all the way over to us to make sure we loved the food. After we finished our halves we immediately got back in line to order another Reuben and a Rachel. WOWOWOWOW SO GOOD. read more

Rachel sandwich was delicious! I love the pastrami here. Staff works super hard and efficiently, just two employees and both are excellent.

The staff here went above and beyond to share samples and ensure I had the best sandwich possible. I picked a reuben, and it was one of the best I've ever had. The sandwich is well worth the price, and I would recommend you stop by - even if just for samples. read more

Polite and fast but was a terrible disappointment. As a Bostonian, a pastrami with pickles is a staple. The pickles are bad (garlic?), Pastrami was chunks not served the correct way (chunks? Not shredded? No one does that), bread? No Bulkie! This place is an embarrassment and needs to change it's name. Terrible read more

We had the Rachel on sourdough. Absolutely delicious sandwich! Thanks Chris

I'm sorry this missed the Mark for me and to compare it to Katz deli Is delusional , maybe the pastrami I had was old because of the 18 inches a snow but it wasn't good I took a few bites and the trash got the rest of it my the only plug I give is that it was a meaty sandwich but dry and the pastrami had a lackluster flavor!! read more

Wasn't terrible but there were two problems. The pastrami wasn't sliced. Just chucks. Weird. The sandwich was also wrapped in foil and then cut. There were little pieces of cut foil in the sandwich. I would not go back. read more

Best sandwiches in Boston!! My Reuben weighs roughly 5 lbs!! Amazing must go in Boston Market. They make the meat fresh daily and you can try the meat before purchasing a sandwich. I went yesterday after spending time in the heat. The food was really refreshing and worth the price! read more

Honestly some of the best food I've had in a long time. I ordered a Rueben and my fiance got the Rachel as well as a side of potato salad. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. We loved it and will be back soon! read more

Food: 3.5/5.0 Service: 2.5/5.0 Value: 2.0/5.0 Decor: 3.0/5.0 Overall: 3.5/5.0 The sandwich was decent but not Sam LaGrassa-status, and for the price point you'd think they could be more generous on the pastrami. If my wallet were heavier, I'd be back if I were in the Public Market again. But living in the real world, I'd pass. read more

Went to the Boston Public Market to check it out since we had heard some good things about it and wanted to see the new space. After perusing the various food options, we decided we couldn't pass this place up. The smell of the meat was so delicious, and as we were waiting in line the manager even let me try a piece and I was hooked. We decided to split halves of the corned beef sandwich and the pastrami sandwich on light rye. The line took quite a bit of time, but that is expected for a new business on a busy afternoon. Both sandwiches were crazy good, but the pastrami definitely had the best showing--it's no wonder why they chose that sandwich to represent their brand. The corned beef is so tender and flavorful, but the pastrami is rubbed with spices and has such a wonderful bite--I couldn't stop eating. And this isn't sliced meat--this is huge juicy chunks of meat that they cram together on the rye bread. Definitely the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. In addition to the sandwiches being very tasty, they were also very reasonably priced as a half sandwich is enough for one person and comes in under $10. This place is a must for anyone visiting the market that enjoys fresh, hot pastrami. read more

I was at Logan Airport killing time walking around the Jet Blue terminal, when I came across Beantown Pastrami. It turned out to be the best part of my trip. Absolutely fantastic. The pastrami sandwich on rye was out of this world--moist and tasty with generous portions. I sat down at the bar next to the Beantown stand. The sandwich made the beer taste special! I savored the beer, sipping between bites. Unbelievable. It was one of those experiences when time slows down. Nothing annoyed me anymore. The hassles of the airport vanished. The staff was friendly the pickles and cold slaw sides rounded out a great meal. I will try to always fly jet blue so I can hit this place. Highest recommendation! read more

Ordered. Waited. 4 people ordered after me. Waited. Was told they were out of lettuce, so they went to get lettuce. Returned with lettuce. Waited. Everyone who ordered after me got their food. Waited. Guy made a huge sandwich that I thought was going to be mine, but gives it to his buddy, then took off for a break. I said, "hey am I the first one in, last one out?" The other guy realizes I just got screwed over and was apologetic. So he starts to make my sandwich--FINALLY. Meantime, wife got her food from another vendor, ate her lunch. I'm STILL waiting. Kinda wanted to have lunch WITH my wife, but resigned to the fact that she's going to drive while I eat mine in the car. Thanks for royally messing up my lunch. Never go there again. read more

Absolutely delicious. Anyone complaining about the price of the pastrami sandwich is an uncultured swine who doesn't know how much real pastrami costs. Best pastrami in town! read more

So glad this place is about to open again! If you're tired of the same old take out and passionate about pastrami check it...it's as close to a NYC Deli as I've found and the pastrami is fresh, thick cut and hand carved per order...not sliced or pre-sliced! Rachaels, Reubins and Pastrami dogs are all just a cut about anything I've had. You can buy pastrami buy the pound there too...located inside the Boston Public Market, next to Haymarket Station and across from City Hall (the back side) and a block away from Quincy Market if you are heading toward TD Boston Garden. read more

The Boston Public Market closes at 8pm. So, why can't I get a pastrami sandwich at 7:30? I've run 20 years worth of successful businesses of different types serving the public. I have never once had a situation where my businesses stopped serving customers before our closing hours. If we closed at 10, we finished recovery and left at 10:30-11:30. That's how it works when you work in food service, retail, or hospitality. Left hungry after a 12-hour workday for no good reason. I may adjust my review if I ever get the opportunity to be served here. read more

This lovely establishment can be found in the Boston Public Market. I went here close to closing time and they still had pastrami left. I ordered one sandwich: pastrami, dijion mustard, on sourdough bread. It was FANTASTIC. Next time I stop by, I definitely want to ask if they can toast the bread. But I will mention that the softer bread was able to catch all of the yummy pastrami juices, so perhaps leaving it as is would be best. Parking can be tough on weekends but there is the Haymarket garage and you can validate your ticket at various establishments in the area. read more

The only thing we had here was a cup of the Reuben Chowder, but after eating it I wish I got one of everything on the menu. Super flavorful, and came out piping hot. We very much enjoyed it - if you imagine what a Reuben chowder would be, this one was executed perfectly. Next time we're back in Boston, we'll definitely be grabbing more from Beantown Pastrami. read more

Holy Jesus! This was best pastrami sandwich I have ever had in my entire life. I've had pastrami dips that are fantastic but this pastrami sandwich was Ahhhh mayyyyy zing!!!! My son ordered a pastrami sandwich with some bread that looked like a marble fudge cake. I don't know what he ordered and I only like white bread so I don't know what it was. Whatever it was - it was good. But the pastrami!!!! So warm! So juicy! So yummy! I don't care if it was tiny, but so was everything else in the market. Perfect! Delicious and wish they had one in Cali. read more

Stopped by for a quick sandwich for lunch, having wanted to try their pastrami for quite a while. Had the pastrami on light rye with deli mustard (is there any other way??) Sandwich was a bit small, I felt, especially for the price ($9.00.) However, in the end, I felt full and satisfied and not overly stuffed. The meat was thick cut, warm, juicy and very flavorful. It is now maybe #3 on my best pastrami list (following Sam LaGrassa's and Katz's.) So...not bad company! read more

Got the "Rachel" which was pretty good. Wish it had more meat on it though. Good portion and excellent service. Overall satisfied. read more
