After thoroughly enjoying the Stachowski's legendary grinder sub a few times, I took a chance on…read moretheir so-called pastrami sandwich yesterday. As a lifelong fan of classic NY deli (ie Katz's) I had long heard of Stachowski's facsimile. In short, it was a thorough disappointment. Taste-wise, the sandwich tasted as if someone had made corned beef in error, then, realized their mistake and threw pastrami seasoning on it and threw it in a smoker at the last minute. It was tough, chewy, and basically inedible. If you've got a hankering for NYC pastrami, you're better served heading up to Katz's. It's worth the trip.

Dr. Brown's Soda: Cel-Ray. Did not taste like celery, just more of a sweet soda of undiscerning flavor. Crumb Cake: Massive piece, moist, flavorful, would've preferedr more crumb, but no complaints!

I thought I'd give Mikey & Mel's another try after my last visit in December 2025. Since my company…read morewas covering lunch today, I decided to order the larger Chicken Salad Sandwich. In response to my original review, the owner/manager mentioned that, given the price point, they "pile on the goods." Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience then and today. The sandwich pictured was roughly the diameter of one hand, and for $20 plus tax, the portion size simply doesn't justify the cost. The sandwich itself was just okay, but the value just isn't there. At this price, I expected much more. This will probably be my last visit.

I have been here over 3 dozen times atleast. I always grab a sandwich and have venture into their homemade pizza dough, pasta sauces, baked goods and more. I've never had anything bad here over several years. They have an online ordering service which makes pick up a lot more easier. Sometimes when it's busy you can expect to wait 20-30 mins on your sandwich, so i usually order in advance. Parking can be touch and go sometimes but there's a free parking garage (up to 3 hours) around the corner.

I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

The deli has a small dining area for patrons. My interaction with the staff was limited, but they were friendly enough. I ordered a steak and cheese sub. It was ready pretty quickly, in less than 5 minutes. The sub was ok. I felt that it had less meat than other steak-and-cheese sandwiches I had. It was also cooler than I expected. The meat was lukewarm. It had a little spice, which I liked. But outside of that, I did not like the flavor. The sub came with a pickle, which looked very sick. It tasted even sicker. I could not even finish it. My experience with this deli was ok. I may eat here again and try something different, but it will not be my first choice.

They've got an excellent selection of brats and sausages, salamis, cheeses, pierogis, German novelty items, chocolates, and--of course--wine! The only downside? Not all staff seem familiar with German specialty foods. I actually asked about pierogis and was told they didn't know what they were... until I stumbled across them in the freezer myself. ‍ and BTW... the potato onion had a nice pepper flavoring. Still, the variety and authenticity make it worth the trip--just be prepared to browse and discover some gems on your own. Perfect for all your Oktoberfest cravings!
