I hadn't visited in quite awhile. It's always comforting - neighborhood staples like Gruby's - and seeing regulars is always a great sign of good food and service, too. And this visit speaks to this establishment's qualities. Full disclosure - I was feeling unmotivated to prep meals. So I grabbed breakfast and lunch sands - BEC on Kaiser and tried the Big Izzy for the first time. Both were SO good, that I want to keep Gruby's as my own little secret. But Mom always taught me to share :) ... soooo make your way to Gruby's for great service, food and the quintessential deli experience! BON APPÉTIT read more

We really enjoyed our lunch there! Rode our bikes, in the Fresh Market center. Everything looks well tended, inviting, and nice outdoor seating too. I read the story of the NY owners from the website. We wanted breakfast but they stopped serving breakfast at 11. The lox bagel was perfect. Hubby and boys said phillie was amazing. I did not like my veggie wrap- too much italian dressing. I stole some fries and they were excellent. Great service- our server kept saying we could carry takeout on our bikes. No- we were headed to the beach. Will definitely stop for breakfast the next time we come to HHI. Their menu is big! read more

Great food and prices. I am from NY but my family is from LA. We love the New York style food at Gruby's. The portions were large and tasty and I have a big appetite. My kids couldn't get enough of all the choices bc each one was excellent. We were in Atlanta for 3 days and ate there everyday! You get a cool New York vibe and the place was immaculate! Ed the owner was so personable that we exchanged info bc he loves cars to. All the servers we nice and sweet. I wish there was a Gruby's in LA. I highly recommend them. Thank You Ed. read more

They have so many items on their menu and I took so long only to order a bacon egg & cheese, with home fries lol. I'll be honest I wasn't a fan of the home fries at all. The sandwich was okay though, but not for almost $7, it wasn't worth it to me. It was a pretty big spot to have breakfast in, I'd come back and try the steak and eggs. The cashier was kind and my stuff was don't pretty quickly. read more

They get three stars for Yelp and one more for their service. This visit was for take-out. I have not experienced the for here option, but while waiting, I can say that everyone is happy, customers were eating, and not much talking was happening. My sandwich was simple: turkey and cheese on toasted bread. But there were so many creations and options to choose from. On my next visit, I plan to sit and stare at a wall or two before reading a chapter in my book. It's roomy, clean, and has lots of seating. Outdoor is an option as well. This place is great for groups and solo partners looking for a quick nook or hideaway. This location offers a variety of options that go past the referee's whistle. You can dine healthy or straightforward and not worry about who's breathing down your neck. Get creative, get comfortable, and drop into this area known as the deli for some good eats. read more

So I was in the mood for a breakfast sandwich and I happened to come across this one. That was not too far. Now I wanted a breakfast sandwich but I also like New York style sandwiches. And you get plenty of those down here! I didn't eat dinner the night before so I tried a couple of them and they were both good. But before that come I pulled up to the parking lot and the parking lot was in a shopping center and parking was free. Now it's not a big lot, so just keep that in mind. And there are a couple other establishments here that may draw a little bit of a crowd, but at least it's free parking. It's near an apartment complex, so if all else fails, there's parking elsewhere. Walked in and got acknowledged immediately and everybody was super friendly. It was a good setup and a easy menu to read. I looked at the menu and ordered and she asked a couple of questions of me and I answered those and then I was there sitting and waiting. The waiting area and the dining area was pretty spacious, it's more spacious than you would think. There are a lot more seats in the facility but you really can't see that from the parking lot. So you have to go inside to see how deep the restaurant goes. If you wanted a larger group or anything like that you could seat them here. Or if you just want to sit down on one of the couches and hang out, they have space for all that. Sausage egg and cheese - So like I said I ordered a breakfast sandwich because that was what I was feeling like. So I got the sausage, egg and cheese. It came pretty standard, nothing flashy or anything like that but it was a pretty good savory sandwich. The meat felt like they could have added a little bit more to it to give it a little more thickness and fullness, but savory wise it was really good. You know how sometimes maybe you may get a sandwich with a Patty of meat and then the bread expand wider than the meat on the sandwich. So you take the first bite and you don't actually get any meat, it was kind of like that a little bit. But once you get into the sausage part of the sandwich, it was really good. I'm not shading it at all, I would order this again honestly. Mardi gras - The Mardi gras was really good. It was very sizable, but not overly powered with nothing but meat. Had a lot of flavor to it. The Russian dressing helped. Corned beef and turkey on it, this sandwich was a solid winner. read more

One thing I've truly missed since moving from New York is a classic bacon, egg, and cheese. Did a quick Google search and found Gruby's NY Deli--and let me just say, they did not disappoint! It's been so long since I had a proper Kaiser roll, and biting into this sandwich instantly brought me back. Overall, the bacon, egg, and cheese was really good, and I'll definitely be back for more. Still on the hunt for a solid Chinese spot though--shrimp fried rice and chicken wings are still calling my name. read more

Gruby's New York Deli - Delis Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Looking for a new spot while visiting in town and decided to try. Glad we did! Perfect NY style deli ambience and vibe. The everything omelette was amazing and tastes sort of like a Rueben. Unique to me. Wife enjoyed the French toast and mother in law had what is their famous pancakes! Got a Rueben to go and it was delicious. Every entree very good and sizable portion. Good service s well. Found a table in the back so we could away from the noise. Definitely will be back when in the area. read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong things BUT unimpressed. The Rueben was great but the "tomato bisque" was clearly Campbells tomato soup with some extra tomatoes in it and the chicken salad was in no way a chicken salad. Bland, overloaded with celery and carrots(?). Paid almost $25 and when mentioning I wasn't a fan of the soup was offered no compensation or make good. Will not be back. read more

Been coming regularly Anytime/every time that we have an appointment near pill hill. Breakfast great. Large Sandwiches excellent: Wife loves their pastrami. I love their corned beef. As good as anywhere in USA. Get a side of chopped liver, or a potato knish Had chicken soup today. ( Was cold out.). Best in area. Matza balls, better than wife's. She won't see this? Soup broth delicious . Might go just for soup. No sandwiches too good. read more

I've been coming to Gruby's for years it's my go to for breakfast, without yummy pancakes, to fresh eggs, and bacon. Then the lunch is feeling like coming home to mom's homemade chicken noodle soup with fresh chicken, carrots, and noodles. Then if your looking for the freshest matza ball soup look no further. The best sandwiches this side of NYC! I'm always torn between the authentic Reuben with the freshest me read more

I have been coming here on a Thursday. Been coming for years in a shopping center. Parking isn't great if it's crowded. Promptly greeted by friendly staff. I got pancakes and bagel sandwich with lettuce tomato and turkey sausage. I really as usual liked everything. Bathroom is clean fresh ingredients always on point with me read more

Stopped here on a whim, was stuck at the traffic light at the intersection and wanted some breakfast. I looked to my right and saw a sign that just said Deil and thought "what the heck, let's stop and eat." I got the Greek omelet with home fries and an everything bagel. Fantastic! The only bad thing is the location is no where near where I live or work. It is near my doctors office so my doctor might see an increase of my visits. read more

Always a great place for lots of ball soup! I'd make a point to get a large order to go every time! The Rubens sandwiches are excellent. The bread is good Services fast and friendly. What can you ask for! Very loud here so it's hard to connect meetings just FYI Will return again and again for sure! read more

we were looking for something new to try and online reviews said Gruby's was a definite to check out in the Atlanta Perimeter area. we got the open brisket beef sandwich - which came with fries and coleslaw - as well as a potato knish and veggie wrap - got the wrap on a sub roll and substituted coleslaw for the cucumber salad. the cucumber salad was really good and excellent flavor and tasted homemade. the fries were also good and tasted homemade. the brisket was a large portion and had good flavor (tasted like a debris poboy) and the veggie wrap was a large portion and decent - although wished the bell pepper and mushroom had more flavor. it was my first time having a potato knish and it was average. overall huge portions and good food read more

Can We Talk! Hands down The Best Ruben in Georgia Amanda was fantastic! Will be back often.

Nice folks and great food. These people know exactly what they are doing. I ordered the New York Reuben and it was pretty much perfect. I would have liked to have seen some authentic sourdough bread on the menu - owners please consider it as a suggestion for the future. Service was fast, even though I was a walk-in during their lunch rush. Atmosphere was relaxed and family friendly. I hope to make it back there again soon. read more

This is the best Jewish deli in Atlanta. 15 years ago right after my daughter was born in Northside hospital the first meal that I brought to my wife was from this wonderful restaurant. Today was a walk down memory lane and a good one. Their sandwich menu is incredible. They offer so many good choices and above all they have wonderful coffee. The service was great. The restaurant is clean. I brought with me a first timer, and we had a wonderful lunch. read more

Fantastic quick service. Our server Amanda did a spectacular job. We ordered French toast and twin tower. She also brought me an extra pickle because she saw me taking someone else's pickle. The food came out promptly and was perfectly cooked and delicious! This is my new favorite French toast place. The syrup wasn't even needed because it was perfectly soaked and cooked! I'm excited to have more doctor appointments in this area to continue coming back. read more

Best Balls!! I'm talking about their matzah balls!! Someone brought me matzah ball soup and I was beyond impressed with their softball sized matzah balls!! The picture doesn't do it justice, but it was 1 matzah ball per plastic takeout container. Soup was a bit salty, if you're watching your sodium, but tasted pretty good. I also got a tuna sandwich. It was just meh. Not as impressive. read more

Best NY deli in town! Make the trip to north side pill hill to get the best deli food!

Gruby's, I will be baaaaack! While waiting on my prescriptions at the pharmacy nearby I was curious to see what else was in this plaza. I was looking for some breakfast eats/bagel but once I looked at some of the reviews and menu I had to go with the pastrami on rye. I'm also a huge cole slaw connoisseur (self-proclaimed) so had to order that as a side item. Also heard the fries were good and I'm a fries connoisseur(again, self- proclaimed). Golly... Where have you been all my life, Gruby's?? I've worked in the Perimeter area for a bit chunk of my career and I'm embarrassed and mad at myself for missing this deli when I worked in the area in years past! I have to start off by saying I'm not a big sandwich person. Many of my close friends and family know this so when I say a sandwich is good, best you believe it that it stood out to me. The sandwich wasn't huge but damn...that pastrami with the cheese was so flavorful and moist (not too heavy too!) and the rye bread was on point. It was soft and fresh which I love fresh and soft bread. The fries were pretty good too. Generous portion when you get an order of it. Would definitely recommend eating the fries best. Now the cole slaw needs a paragraph just for itself.... the cole slaw was soooo good!! My only regret is not ordering a larger size. It was creamy and crunchy just the way a good cole slaw should be. It was a great pairing with my sandwich. I didn't get to try what my hubby ordered but whenever I glanced over at him in between my time admiring my pastrami sandwich he looked like he really enjoyed it because he was heads down chowing down and ate it pretty fast. We will be back from some more yummy grubs at Gruby's New York Deli! read more

Everytime I come to this deli the service is always fast, accurate, pleasant, and such a great experience. Not to mention the food is actually good. My favorite thing to get is the sausage, egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll. My only complaint is I wish it had larger or more sausage. The vibe is very mellow, a ton of older people frequent this location. Definitely recommend giving them a try!!! read more

Tasteless or. Worse! Poor service. 'Nough said. Wish I had. Saved the day with a bag of chips.

I've been coming here for many years since they opened. Hands down, it has the best pastrami sandwich in Atlanta. Although there is more competition now, this deli still reigns supreme over the rest. read more

This place is pretty cool. It does feel like a NYC deli here in Atlanta, GA. But it's not super-NY because our waitress had a southern accent and had the oh-so-nice and polite Southern charm. If she had a jewish accent and was curt, it would've felt more like NYC. But we liked that she was so nice, sweet, and helpful. Their menu is huge. They have specialty sandwiches with NYC specific themes such as "The Godfather," "Park Avenue," "Time Square," etc., It's a fun gimmick. They also have a huge breakfast menu. I tried their matzo ball soup and their ruben. Their ruben was not bad at all. It was a solid ruben sandwich that came on rye. It satisfied. Their matzo was so-so for me. They said it was homemade but the broth tasted like a generic chicken broth from a can. I don't think they made the broth in house. The matzo was okay. The matzo ball soup wasn't the best I tasted. I would skip it. But I liked my lunch here. I would come back. read more

Came in with a colleague for a quick lunch following a meeting in the area. I'm not in the sandy springs area very often but I'll never turn down an opportunity to eat at a "New York deli". I had a Reuben minus the sauerkraut. Not the best I've ever had but pretty good. It was served with coleslaw. The server was fast and efficient and plenty of parking right out front. During the lunch hour the majority of tables were full but we didn't have any trouble being seated right away. The menu was extensive with lots of breakfast options as well. read more

Best corned beef sandwich and cole slaw consistently for years of enjoying this place...service excellent too! I'm not in the area as often these days, but look forward to it when I am, like today. read more

Gruby's New York Deli - A Slice of Brooklyn in Every Bite If you're looking for an authentic New York deli experience, Gruby's is the spot. My favorite sandwich, without a doubt, is the New York Reuben. The combination of perfectly toasted rye bread, tender corned beef, melted Swiss, tangy sauerkraut, and just the right amount of Thousand Island dressing always hits the mark. Each bite is like a trip back to the old-school delis of Brooklyn. What really stands out, though, is the staff. They're incredibly personable and make you feel right at home. In fact, they've gotten so familiar with how I order that they remember the little details--whether I prefer extra pickles or like my sandwich cut a certain way. It's a small touch, but it makes a big difference. Both the food and service are consistently top-notch, which is why I go there regularly. It's not just about the food; Gruby's captures the heart of what a New York deli should be--great flavors and friendly faces. read more

I'm so sad... So, so, so sad... I ate my pastrami sandwich and it's all gone. Understand what my stomach is only so big. I had a bunch of errands to do down here in Atlanta and this was next to UPS. It was darned good. The rye bread that held the crown jewel pastrami was magnificent. The crust was snappy while the bread was soft and doughy like a proper Rye should be studded with caraway. Also asked for a small side of fresh cut French Fries. Extra crispy. It's delish. I wish I could have sampled all the Jewish gold in that restaurant. The chopped liver, matzo ball soup, The LEO, corned beef. Again this is why I am so sad. The place was frequented by area business workers and was a good hustle and bustle during the lunch rush. Seems legit and it IS legit. read more

Fantastic sandwich and rye bread. Unrivaled deli in southeast. Must try for any true ny deli lover

It is difficult for me to come up with a review for this place. I don't know if I'm getting old or and remembering something that tasted a lot better. The menu had on it everything I wanted from chopped liver to pastrami and knishes. It even had over stuffed sandwiches. Everything was there yet The taste was not. The knish was bland the overstuffed sandwich was dry, and the pastrami did not have the spice pizzazz that I remember in New York. The service was excellent and the prices were fair to moderate. I came to grubby's because in desperation of a good pastrami sandwich, I searched Google and found this place. It filled the spot of the pastrami sandwich but did not bring me back in time to say this is as good as New York. Now I've had bad pastrami sandwiches in New York as well. But I did know where to go to get good ones. And the chopped liver ho-hum, along with the whole hum of the coleslaw. The knish was no worse than any store-bought conditioner frozen food section in a super market. I am so disappointed, I thought I found my kosher type Jewish deli in Georgia. I'm read more

This place is great if you want to be served by a blatantly racist owner that will purposely make you feel that he doesn't want you to eat there.
