Had never been here before, and that's my mistake! The food was amazing, and at a fairly decent price. $16 for a traditional breakfast plate. The eggs and potatoes were cooked to perfection, and served quickly. And, the plate was well-stocked! It has a diner feel, not fancy, but fine. read more

Goldmans Deli - Breakfast Sampler with bacon and home fries. - Delis Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This my second review of Goldman. It's Ben a tick, but I wanted to post an update. The food and service, still number 1! I had a weird pickle craving (not pregnant, just a pickle fiend!) and when I let them know that, they accommodated me without an issue! The food is still fresh, and I can reasonably say, after a trip to NYC, on par with any east coast experience. I love a great kosher deli, and this gem is tucked away, but worth finding them and tucking in for a tasty nosh! read more

I cannot believe I am here before 11:30am, and the back room is blocked off with the lights off. The lobby is totally crowded to the point that I had to stand way back by the restroom to wait for them to call my name when my to go order is ready. Again, I stress - that back room in the most relaxing,comfortable, fun ambiance I. The place. It needs to be open and available. Since it isn't, I ordered to go cause it is not pleasant to grab a table amongst the masses in the crowed lobby. Please... management read this and adjust accordingly. You are taking all the fun and charm of eating in your establishment away by not allowing patrons to enjoy that back room with the comfortable booths and wall art. Food is still great so I still continue to come back. Service is quick and friendly. read more

Went to check out Goldman's in search of a sandwich for lunch and it did not disappoint. Was able to share a Brisket sandwich with my brother (very generous portion sizes), and it was delicious! Super friendly lady at the counter who took the time to make sure there were no nuts in the Hamentashen (which were also delicious)! read more

Goldman's Deli Where Your Soul and Your Stomach Both Get Hugged If comfort food had a headquarters, it might very well be Goldman's Deli. Walk through the door and suddenly you're not just hungry you're home. The smells alone could make a grown person misty-eyed. Now let's talk about the pastrami. Lean, tender, and stacked so generously you start wondering if the sandwich needs its own zip code. One bite and you understand why people keep coming back. Two bites and you're already planning your next visit. The soups? Forget therapy have a bowl. Rich, comforting, and restorative. The kind of soup that makes you feel like somewhere in the kitchen a grandmother is quietly nodding with approval. And then there's the gefilte fish. Not the ordinary, polite little slice. This one is special delicate, flavorful, and downright magnificent. Even people who say, "Eh... I'm not sure about gefilte fish," suddenly become believers. There's a little schmaltz, a lot of love, and the unmistakable magic of real Jewish deli cooking. Eat there, take some home, and tell your friends because food this good shouldn't be kept a secret. You might arrive hungry, but you'll leave smiling, a little fuller, and possibly needing a short nap which is the highest compliment a deli can receive. And as they say with a wink and a warm heart: "Zei gezunt, un es gezunterheit eat in good health!" Or in plain deli English: "May you always be healthy... and may your sandwich always be this good."

Started with their Reuben and pastrami sandwiches accompanied by potato salad and Cole slaw. Reuben was pure perfection and pastrami was lean and tender. Took home the mushroom barley soup for lunch the next day and wow!!! Staff was kind and caring. Can't say enough about this Chicago deli. If you know, you know. read more

Goldmans Deli - Chicago deli-cacy at its finest! - Delis Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I've been to quit a few deli's here in Arizona and this was one on my list to try because a friend of ours had brought us Chocolate and Cinnamon Rugelach from here and they were so good. I had the opportunity to go with a friend of mine for breakfast. Visually, the deli was not what I expected, small, a little dingy looking. The display case was visual unappealing (whats with all the hot dogs). The young lady that worked the cash register and took your order was very nice and friendly. I ordered the Spinach and Feta Cheese Omelet which came with choice of home fries or hash browns and choice of bread. My friend had a Ham and Cheese Omelet Special. When our food came out, it looked amazing. My Spinach Feta Omelet was one of the best omelets I've ever had. I can't vouch for anything else, only my omelet LOL. Atmosphere: needs updating. Food: omelets were delish. Service: very good. read more

I don't know why I do this to myself. I woke up craving chopped chicken liver. don't know why. I invited my husband to Goldman's which was the only place that came to mind for the liver but he politely declined, not being a fan. So I trecked 5 miles out of my way to Goldman's (when Chompie's was just a mile away --frankly I don't know why I didn't think about chompies) I ordered the chopped chicken liver appetizer which comes with slices of tomato, a piece of lettuce, slice of red onion, and challah bread. I paid $15.01 for this platter (lol) without a tip for a small scoop of the liver. Just look at the photo. I was shocked to see how small it was. I thought that with a base price of $13.99 that the scoop would be bigger or at least the same size as in the past when it was $9.99. The challah bread was yellow but did not take like challah. Yellow bread slices do not delicious challah bread make--no yeasty flavor as any good challah would have. So here I am regretting that I didn't give chompie's a try. I can assure you that I will not be returning to Goldman's. I know ingredients have gone up but this price for such a small scoop is an affront to the wallet. read more

No frills local Jewish deli that reminds me of the ones back on the East Coast. It gets busy around lunch time so expect to wait and they're a bit old school so it takes some time to write orders and hand out the food to everyone sitting. I got a smoked turkey and Swiss sandwich and it was pretty good! A lot of meat, bread was soft, only one slice of cheese which was dissapointing, but it tasted as you would think, nothing life changing. It came with a side (I chose potato salad) and a pickle. The potato salad is really good. Perfect amount of mustard and mayo. Pickle was good a little soggy. The reason I am docking a point is just due to the pricing. The one sandwich with the pickle and potato salad it came with was $19 plus tax and tip. While it was good, I can't imagine I'll go back to spend $20+ on a single sandwich when you can go get the same thing, same quality, for less elsewhere. A lot of people were trying their pastrami so maybe that's life changing but this wasn't, it was good, not life changing. Nontheless, they're a family owned establishment and I like to try to support local when I can. I hope they continue to succeed! Maybe I'll come back and try a bagel and lox or something that they specialize in :) read more

Goldmans Deli - Smoked Turkey Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I enjoy coming to this deli, which is reminisce of New York or Chicago style deli. I arrived just after they opened on a Tuesday. I came to get some meat by the pound, lox and soup. Unfortunately, the soup wasn't available at this time, which is a bummer because I was hoping that quite honestly everything on the menu would be available. who doesn't want soup in the morning? Everything was neatly wrapped. Service is always very friendly. Very casual dining area. Plenty of parking out front. Unfortunately, I can't show you the corned beef and pastrami because they are tightly wrapped for travel. I've had it in the past and it's always sliced and package very nicely read more

Delicious soups and sandwiches! Matzo ball or chicken noodle is our favorite and it's always fresh and piping hot. The brisket sandwiches are outstanding too. read more

First time at Goldman's Deli. Friend raved about the cabbage soup. I opted for a pastrami on rye with potato salad. Deli is located in a shopping center and clearly a neighborhood favorite. Been to a lot of delis in the Phoenix area since I was born here. Think most of the deli restaurants have been New York Style. Ordered food at the front counter. You pay and your food is delivered to your table. You get a cup to help yourself if having a soft drink. Order arrives and friend says, the portions are not as big as other local delis. Sandwich was respectable in portion size. Prices were pretty much on par so no complaints on value. Friend paid for lunch anyway. Pastrami was tasty, however it was not hot and no mustard. Hmm, not sure if that is considered Chicago Style? Apparently, that is not the case. Mustard and napkins are at the counter. Service was great at the service counter. After your order is delivered, you are on your own. If in the area, would try Goldman's again. Hard to score a restaurant based upon one meal experience. Place is not a Chompies, Scott's Generations or Miracle Mile Deli; but those are not Chicago Style Delis. read more

Why did you change your provider of corned beef and pastrami? It's dry tasteless and has a odd back taste . Why are you destroying a great place that ranked to me higher than Katz's or any other deli. Corn beef on rye is my absolutely favorite but you've killed it . The weird thing is you know it's bad. And do nothing Plus your prices are now Insane. $12.95 for a grilled cheese $15.95 for a bologna!! I'm sorry you've stopping caring. Please don't. read more

Very friendly & helpful staff. I had a corned beef sandwich and cup of mushroom barley soup. Both were great. read more

Nasty! They should be embarrassed to serve this kind of food. No wonder there was not 1 person at 5pm. We were the only people at the deli. The employee was very nice but the food is inedible. read more

Picked up our turkey dinner for Thanksgiving and it was more than excellent! Turkey was moist, stuffing and gravy very tasty and all the sides were devoured by my family. Never ate in the restaurant but will go this week to celebrate my birthday with a friend! read more

Nice little deli. Very friendly staff. Kitchen really wanted to make sure we were happy Will be back when in area. My corned beef was actually a little too lean. Pastrami ordered lean and it sure was Nothing fancy. Just good food very fair price for the size read more

I'm giving this place four starts for the location, you would never know that there is a deli in this strip-mall. Food is good, not great and often under seasoned/under salted/peppered. Really nice people. Can't tell if the salads are out of a container or homemade...tasted like grocery store potato salad and macaroni salad. read more

I grew up on the North Shore of Chicago, dining all the time at Deli's like Goldamns. I moved to Minneapolis for college, and have been missing establishments like this - so when I found Goldmans on a trip to Scottsdale I made sure to stop by! We ordered some food for pickup and my boyfriend went inside, so I couldn't see what the interior looked like, but looking in from the window it looks like your basic deli counter. We placed our order over the phone for pickup - staff saying it would be ready in 15-20 minutes. We ordered 2 large matzoh ball soups, 1 kreplach soup, a sandwich, and a piece of kugel to go. I was disappointed that when we got there they said they were our of kreplach soup, I wish we were called so we could have a replacement soup ready. We ended up ordering 1 small matzoh ball to replace it, but this took a bit of time to get ready. Fair warning that this food doesn't come cheap - I think my boyfriend spend $50-$60 on this meal. When I saw online that they were known for their baseball sized matzohballs, I was a bit worried they'd be hard - but they were perfectly fluffy! The soup was delicious and had some chicken, carrots and celery pieces too. The kugel was sweet and flavorful, just like the kind I have back home. If you're looking for a great Chicago style Jewish deli, definitely come here! read more

So good. I have a thing for Jewish delis, & imo this is the best in the valley. I love the eggs Benedict using a slice of Hebrew national! Delicious bagel and lox as well. The pastrami here is to die for as well. Only thing it needs is Dr browns soda to complete the vibe. The place is an order at the counter type restaurant. They bring the food out to you. Serve yourself soda machine. The girl at the counter was great and friendly. She served as our waitress as well. Tv as well which for me is a plus if I'm dining solo. Absolutely recommend! read more

$5 extra for sausage and it's one piece of sausage lol. Absolute joke . Won't be going back

Solid deli. Corned beef beats out the pastrami which in general is the other way around at but all good. Prices not inexpensive but that's the new real real here in Scottsdale esp. and elsewhere. Coleslaw with sandwich good, wish it were bigger. Wish the pickle were more pickle too because delicious. Very nice order taker/cashier lady as usual. Sliced nice and thin the way I like it and piled up, rye bread didn't stand a chance tho. read more

I can't believe what a GREAT deli this place is!! Absolutely one of, if not the best.. just what I think the perfect one should be.. friendly & nice staff, clean and of course, the BEST pastrami sando I may have ever had!! I may not eat anywhere else while I'm here in Scottsdale read more

Mixed reviews from eating their twice and having 7 people in my family eat their all week. Best food - Rueben, Tuna Melt and the Chicago dogs (either way was awesome - grilled or boiled). Not so hot -was actually the bagel and lox (two people mentioned to little lox and no flavor even with the everything bagel). The egg salad which was just odd. It was minced egg with little to no mayo. Two of us were not a big fan. Overall, still a place to go for some Jewish Deli food from Chicago. read more

What a lovely tiny find. Food was prepared to order and it was all delicious and plentiful!

I've been going to Goldman's for many years but unfortunately it's no longer the quality that it used to be. Prices have gone way up. Portions have gone way down. Today's pastrami sandwich was extremely dry and tasteless for $20. It's a shame. But I will have to find another deli. read more

Best Greek salad and the chick breast is grilled fresh for each salad. No precooked food here Fresh, Clean but most of all so Yummy read more

Since moving to Phoenix 3 1/2 years ago, I had yet to find a good deli--until I discovered Goldman's! I recently ordered carryout, and everything was fantastic. The matzah ball and kreplach soup were absolutely delicious, packed with comforting flavors. The kasha and noodle kugel were also excellent--just like how a good deli should be. The service was fast, the staff was friendly, and the place was clean and well-organized. I'm so glad I found my new go-to deli! I'll definitely be returning soon. read more

It was too expensive. The Ruben's meat was overcooked. I just wasn't good. There's better options and actually a better price..

Made the trip across town to get some "good Jewish deli food''. Was an ok success, tried the brisket that was not flavorful and was sad, the one thing that brought it back was the Jewish Rye which was amazing. Wife tried the gefilte fish and liver, she was quite happy. Hold on now, $78.00 two cups of soup, liver, fish, brisket sandwich. Talk about inflation, wowza read more

2.5 Onos out of 5 Although we visited in the later afternoon, I felt that the food looked like it was sitting around on the steam table. Had the staff cabbage, it was unevenly heated. When I visited the area, I know there are better delis around. Not sure I'll return! read more

Some of the worst Matzo ball soup I have ever had and overpriced food $50 for 2 sandwiches 1 small soup 1 drink

First time here so I'll compare it to chompies. They open at 8 but were not quite ready for business. Several bagels not available and no matzoh ball soup. Pastrami not hot but that was okay because I was having sandwich later Wanted one half sandwich pastrami and the other half cornbeef. That would have been an extra $2.50 charge. Have no idea why. This is not a problem at chompies and no extra charge. Pastrami was lean and much better quality than at chompies. Rye bread was excellent. Only one pickle with sandwich and so limp it was a throw away. Also bought some bagels. Would have bought more but they didn't have what I needed. The bagels I got were very good. Again much better than chompies. Had Dr Browns in bottles which I prefer. Chompies only has cans. This is a small deli compared to chompies. Not open for dinner. Help was nice and knew what they were doing. Unfortunately some of the help at chompies are helpless...not all I will definitely return but later in the morning hoping they'll have what was missing on this trip read more

First time at Goldman's. Lots of variety on the menu. I had chopped liver appetizer, it was ok, a little too sweet for me. Husband had a Rueben sandwich, and potato salad. Rueben was excellent, potato salad was bland. Our friend had a pastrami sandwich and potato salad. Sandwich was excellent, but he also thought the salad was bland. We got a couple dozen fresh cookies to go. They were excellent. We live in Surprise , so this is a long drive. We thought it was worth it. We will be back. read more

The food is always good and fresh. We usually have soup and sandwich. I love the beet borscht soup. My husband loves the spice, cabbage soup, and of course the egg salad is delicious and the white fish is flown in from Lake Michigan. I love it because I grew up in Michigan and they fly it in from the Chicago area which is still great white fish. My husband likes the pastrami on rye. We've never left there feeling like we didn't get a good meal. read more
