My LTR partner is a native Russian, so over the years has made many a trip here, as have I this…read morepast year or so. One of our fave purchases is Kvass imported from Russia. What is Kvass? (Phonetic Spelling: k-vahs). Russian kvass is a probiotic-rich, low-alcohol beverage made primarily from rye bread, distinguishing it from other fermented drinks like kombucha and kefir, which use different base ingredients and fermentation processes. Unlike many commercial versions of kvass, traditional kvass retains live cultures and has a unique, complex flavor profile. (I liken it to cold root beer, with a hint of sassafrass tea). The brand we purchase comes in a two liter & has live cultures, so it is refrigerated; it features an Orthodox Papal figure. It is delicious! He usually also purchases various chocolates and candies, as well as small frozen sweets that resemble tiny chocolate dipped waffle cone ice creams. I know minimal Russian, so he usually speaks for us. TBH-I don't think I'd be comfortable going as a non native Russian speaking consumer.

We used to LOVE this restaurant! We still love the servers. They haven't changed. They know us by…read morenale and they know what beverage we like without having to ask. The food had always been delicious until this last visit. Given we are regulars at the place, we know the quality of the food has been consistently fantastic and the wait for the food is typical - not too fast or slow - enough to prepare the meal given how busy the place has always been. This last time, however, it was a good 45 minutes before the order came to the table. Neither one of our meals was very good. I was very hypiglycemic by this point and so I ate the french toast that was completely uncooked inside. At first I wasn't thrilled that the bread was considerably smaller than it used to be until i bit into it to find cold wet mush. I should not have eaten it at all. My friend had ordered a patty melt - medium which should be light pink in the center. It was bloody red. She sent it back and about 20 min later it came back exavtly the same. She sent it back again. Another 20 minutes later it came back well done and with spices in the meat that made the meat taste lousy. So now she had a burger that wass over cooked and tasted bad. She didnt gat to eat because by that time we were done. I wish i had turned back the french toast. I kept hoping with every bite it might be cooked. Not one bite was cooked. Not even one. Being hypoglycemic I felt like I would lose my cool if I didnt eat something so I ate. It turns out the place had been bought and the new owner really didnt care. We got to talk to the brother of the new owner who only said that the place has been very busy and that should speak to the quality. He couldnt care less about our experience. All I have to say is that they are going to be losing a lot of money having to replace meals and once people find out about the sudden drop in quality of the food, those peeople that have been filling the place will not be returning as we wont be either. We refuse to go somewhere that the owners could care less about their patrons.

This is a remarkable place. First and foremost, the food. Jeremy is clearly a genius at pickling…read more We tried pickled everything. It was all amazing. When I walked in, I had to settle for an unbelievably delicious scrapple sandwich because they were temporarily out of pastrami. Scrapple with a handmade, red, cabbage, slaw, onion, marmalade, and cheese. So creative and so delicious. My wife had asparagus and fennel soup. The fennel perfectly cut through the richness of the asparagus. Add to this one of the best potato salads I've ever had and it would've been enough. Until Jeremy came over to the table with some fresh pastrami to taste. I don't know where the best pastrami in America is, but whatever it is it's unlikely to be better than this. This is a place you should not miss.

This was a hard one to rate. The space is super cool. Old firehouse. There is some seats and…read moreoutside searing. No parking. That will be your challenge. There are streets and a few lots. Good luck. They have a happy hour. We took advantage of that. $10 chicken sandwich and $5 fries. The fries are fresh cut and plenty to share. Super good. I am told the chicken sandwich was good. Chicken was thick and good. Pickles mayo all good. I got the pastrami. Pastrami is sliced thick with slaw and their homemade mustard. Pastrami good. Bread ok. Slaw OK. The homemade mustard was super strong and not that enjoyable. Had a kinda a horseradish taste. Didn't like it at all. Took over the meat. The meat by itself was pretty good. Moist, tender, tastee. But with the whole sandwich not good. Next time I know. And the sandwich for $18 was thick pieces of meat, I think I would have preferred sliced thin and stacked. Kinda like corn beef is. I think I wouldn't have fought eating it so much. Thick slices were awkward and I couldn't eat it cleanly. It was a puzzle that kept falling apart. Had to put it back together and with the mustard was too much for me. I did get a chocolate phosphate. Hadn't had one in a decade. It was good. Paper straw made it impossible to drink the last few sips cuz it can't hold up. We did get a black and white cookie to go and an oatmeal pie. Both really good. Oh and if you see a bakery item get it when you see it. Otherwise it's gone. Ordering dinner I saw a chocolate chip cookie but by the time I went to get it, it was gone. Prices for happy hour were good. But it's not cheap. Our bill was $47 total. That was 2 sandwiches, 1 order of fries, 2 drinks a phosphate and canned drink. No cookies. We got those later. So not cheap. Would I go back. Yes. I feel like I would try something else and give it a shot. I think now I know I'd do better.

It used to be thick-cut & tender.. but now it seems like they're using thin-sliced deli meat instead.
