I went some months ago with a few friends for brunch, and I thought it was pretty good. I appreciated the pickle bar, which had a lot of variety and was open to refills, and the sandwich I got was good too, I think something with corned beef or pastrami. Seemed like a pretty standard Jewish-style deli, and the sides were tasty as well. One of the people at our table ordered carrot cake, which was quite large, and I got to taste some of it, which was tasty too. All the staff there were very friendly too, and it's fairly loud in there like your typical local deli. I would consider going back again if I'm in the area or some friends are going. read more

It's been probably 1-2 years since my last visit. I forgot I was boycotting them over the Trump commercial. Hostess-very rude, no smile, barely spoke up to us. we prayed she wasn't our waitress too At the table -trash on the floor from previous diner(s) Our waitress was super nice. We ordered a Corned Beef special and a Roast beef special. When they arrived we couldn't tell the difference. I've never had such dark brown corned beef served to me Neither sandwich had any taste or flavor, like they forgot to put the pickling spice on. Maybe they aren't making the meats in house anymore? Pickle Bar - wow, you might as well just serve us the few sparse items that you now offer. Disappointing Overall- we travel a distance to come here and will take Hymies off our list. I've been a customer since Barson's on Haverford Ave in the 70s I had a sense that the love and care was no longer there. Sad read more

This is a decent sit-down Jewish deli with an extensive menu and all your typical favorites. The pickle bar is a fun offering and their vanilla egg cream is fabulous. My whitefish salad was decent and my husband liked his sandwich. The only thing I didn't really like was the coffee, which was burnt. It's not a coffee spot, so I can't complain much. Tasty, will be back. read more

Hymie's Delicatessen - Inside. Old school memories - Delis Near Me - Merion Station, Pennsylvania

"Since you go to NY often, why not eat at Katz's?!" a friend commented. A few reasons: a corned beef sandwich at Hymie's is about half the price, you don't have to deal with the crowds Katz's attracts AND when I want a sandwich, I want a sandwich! (Yesterday I had a hankering for Jewish deli.) As reported last time, Hymie's corned beef is lean. Perhaps too lean. I also prefer thicker slices. Other than that, no complaints. The sandwich is generously stuffed, resulting in a second meal for both me and my husband. If you order fries, specify crisp and 'steak cut'. (Last time they bordered on limp.) Coleslaw is creamy and delicious. And let's not forget the pickle bar, gratis when you dine in. You may find other goodies on the bar; yesterday it was macaroni salad. While I initially thought parking a problem, know that there's a metered lot behind the buildings. read more

We were staying at an Airbnb down the street and decided to stop in here for breakfast. I don't normally like pastrami, but figured when in Rome and this was excellent. Our whole group got various breakfast sandwiches (and of course the pickle bar) and there was nothing left at the end. Totally recommend this place and would come back. Glad we stopped in. read more

Service started off ok, but completely fell off. Waitress stopped coming around. Latke, matza ball soup and the corned beef sandwhich were all really good. Their cookies from the bakery area were amazing! I couldn't believe how delicious these were. Keep in mind you pay your tab upfront. read more

I have been a great customer at Hymies with deliveries. I was surprised the menu was updated and not user friendly, at all. Also, the fabulous descriptions of the selections are gone. When I called and asked to speak with the manager, he could care less. Very bad customer service. And ...... since then I tried to order 3 additional times, again nothing upgraded with any descriptions. So, I ordered at other local places. I have been a good customer at least $39.00 per order. This is very sad that Hymies could care less. read more

Had their version of a French Dip. The Brisket was very good, but the Au Jus it was served with was very sweet. That's not right. Au Jus should be beef flavored. Not sweet. Service was good. read more

The bagels have really gone down hill lately. No flavor at all. New York Bagels on City Line are way better. Had no seeded rye bread for take out. Really? Baked goods are entirely too sweet and the predominant taste is sugar and cheap refined flour. Also prices are ridiculoous. Almost $20 for a corn beef special (!). About $13 for 6 bagels. A pound of lox with a half dozen bagels cost about $80. Really like the soups but the take out soup prices are up to $15 and the cabbage soup barely had any beef in it. Couldnt get them to pick up the phone to place a lunch order recently. Think Im done with this place. Still like the breakfast sandwich though. read more

We've driven past Hymie's for years. This is our first time stopping in. There's a small market on the right and the restaurant on the left. They serve breakfast all day. We chose sandwiches and visited the Pickle Bar. Our server was helpful and friendly. She even cut me the end piece of the strawberry shortcake because I wanted extra icing. The potato salad was delicious. We were able to get a parking spot in front at a meter. We will be back to try more of the delicious options on the menu. read more

Always a good time at Hymies, stopped in with my dad for lunch. We ordered two sandwiches the yellby which was beef briskets with au jus and I had the Cornbeef special with slaw and fries. Our waitress was Kim, she was a pleasure as I think she waited on me before. She told us we could help ourselves to the pickle bar. She also gave us a sample of the cabbage beef soup which was tasty but the fries won the choice. It's hard not to look at all the desserts in this place, I just try to stay focused and pay and leave lol, one day I'll get some treats. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Horrible service. I have come here serval times, and I cannot seem to get an order that is correct. Ordered a turkey Ruben 3rd time this has happened. Made wrong! I'm totally disappointed. Asked for a Ruben no kraut.. I end up with a hot turkey sandwich!! No! Spoke with Dominic, and he had no explanation nor a fix in the moment as they were closing.. telling me to come in tomorrow. I'm hungry now and by tomorrow I will not want to see you. Money was refunded, but why not just make the sandwich correct from the beginning? read more

Hymie's Delicatessen - Dry sandwich made incorrectly. Very disappointed in service here - Delis Near Me - Merion Station, Pennsylvania

I have been eating at Hymie's for twenty years. My most recent visits, especially those in the last couple years, have led me to think they have lost a step or two from what it was. Food is sometimes inconsistent: a sandwich like a corned beef special is made the way you remember it one visit, and then the next is smaller or the meat isn't as good. A recent turkey special was very chewy and the turkey seemed almost pink. This at a place that usually makes turkey for sandwiches so good it melts in your mouth. It just wasn't close to that. The soups and pickles remain amazing and a highlight. The other issue is service. I realize places cry that hiring is harder now. But the waitstaff seems to have had a big turnover and I find more often I have to repeat my order after they just took it, and don't wrote it down for some reason, or the order has an error when brought to table. Formerly you had a team of servers who never missed a beat. Some of this might be generational, I don't know. It's still worth going to Hymie's but at their price point they need to step it up again. read more

Stopped in on a slow day/thursday/ and had a scrumptious meal... Montana omelet Coffee was a little stale tasting bout otherwise a good meal Had to pay to park anywhere near the place even with the streets empty. read more

We came to Hymie's during a visit to St. Joe's. Very solid deli. I had pastrami and chopped liver. Others had various sandwiches and salads. Everybody liked their food a lot. The atmosphere is crowded and frenzied just as it should be. The food is really, really good, just half a step behind the greatest deli's in New York. Might be too high a standard but there it is. You should definitely go--you will like it! read more

What bad is there to say? Complimentary pickles and an amazing Pastrami, Corned Beef, Coleslaw and Russian dressing on Rye bread. Just DELICIOUS! If your are in the mood for a good Jewish Deli- go. If your are in the mood for just good food- go. You leave full and happy, read more

Nothing like home sweet home. If you miss the days of when people were nice and the food was amazing don't worry- Hymie's STILL HAS that magical atmosphere. Consistently amazing and quality second to none. Shout out to the young waitress Ava- knowledgeable, kind, and in a modern day where young kids live on their phones she was nothing but professional and one of the best waitresses I've encountered in the United States in the last decade. Young, but with that old-school style. Great job young lady. And thank you Hymie's staff for all of your excellent work and for showing the world that when you care it's shows. read more

One of the best in Jewish Deli's! Food, fast and delicious. Service is warm, friendly and fast. Typically no wait. Amazing deli as well! A MUST GO! read more

Have eaten in once and ordered to-go twice. Always busy, well loved by the community. The staff isn't overly friendly, but you could say I'm used to southern hospitality. The salads are great. The matzo ball soup is decent. Pastries are wonderful. Can't resist grabbing a black and white cookie when picking up my order. Best of luck when parking! read more

The food is amazing here. The cornbeef and the pastrami are so tasty and tender it's out of this world. They offer breakfast also. This place also has a pickle bar with all types of pickles. People who take your order are very nice. Place is very clean and they also have a very large selection of cookies available for sale. Please if you get a chance try a nice sandwich from Hymies it's to die for. read more

food was tasty, but not sure if its worth the price. I hope it's not a tourist trap but the sandwiches were good. The dessert we had which was a massive piece of cake was extremely sweet. Would probably come back to try this place out again though :) The service was ok, they were giving us a smaller slice but we saw how much it was and how the slices were all uniform except for the one they were trying to give us, so we opted for the other one. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch. Service was a little slow and the server seemed distracted. The matzoh ball soup was flavorful and comforting. The turkey sandwich special was fresh, though the coleslaw inside could have used more seasoning. Overall, decent spot for a quick bite. read more

I went to Hymie's twice this week. Wonderful sandwiches. I had a corn beef special. Best I've ever had. My wife had turkey. Also excellent.

This was a request to send a shiva food package to a young family of 4 including mom, dad, an 8 year old and a younger child. Most firms only knew platters for 10. Jerry worked with me to create breakfast and dinner fare for 4 and delivered to Wynnewood. Family was so grateful to us and I, grateful to Jerry et al at Hymies. During a tough emotional time for the family they received some solid traditional food for their souls. Giant thank you for your understanding and assistance. read more

We were on a visit to Philly from GA and happened upon Hymie's. Nostalgic Jewish deli that we really don't have back home (they try, just not as well). We had blintzes, lox, eggs, and onions. Great! Our server was certainly the friendliest I've ever encountered in a deli of this nature. We enjoyed it so much, we visited again on our way out of town. Let's just say "We got chai at Hymie's!" read more

This place just never disappoints. No frills and the ambiance is like a different kinda diner... with a deli/pastry store on the side (p.s. order some cookies or salads - they are yummy). The waitresses are lovely and the food is solid. We have come here more than a few times and it never ceases to please me. The wait can be hit or miss - you either get in immediately or have to wait - but the wait is worth it. In my opinion you need to have the pastrami sandwich or the corned beef sandwich, I've had both. Most places that serve this type of meat give you a lot of fat - this place, it's very lean and juicy and just amazing. Sliced to order. Order it on Rye and enjoy. They have a few specials like with Russian dressing and coleslaw. I've tried it all- fabulous. My better half has gotten a chicken sandwich it was good - but go for the goods in terms of the pastrami/corned beef. And don't sleep on the Matzo ball soup - it's so delicious. Also the pickle bar!!!! (included with your meal) read more

If you want Hymies I recommend going there and having a sit down meal. Maybe pick up is better I cannot speak to that but do not order delivery. I probably ordered four times for delivery and never again. This last time the hot pastrami was not hot, the seeded bagel was hard enough to break a tooth and my hoagie had absolutely no dressing like lettuce tomatoes on it despite my instructions. It was a huge disappointment. read more

Four of us dined here for lunch today. We were so excited for a great meal and ended up very disappointed. To start, the waitress told us the bagel platter for 2 people would be enough food for 3 of us as long as we added an extra bagel. It definitely was not enough fishes. She also got one of the bagel orders wrong, two of the fishes wrong on the platter and forgot one of our beverages. Even when we added a 1/4 lb of another fish to supplement she got that wrong as well. Also, the bagels did not taste fresh....we all agreed they were very chewy and actually hard to swallow. In addition, the fish portions were small. To compare, Ben & Irv's gives you twice as much kippered salmon for the same price platter. Do yourself a favor and go to Ben & Irv's in Huntingdon Valley, or Pumpernick's or Moish & Itzy's. All are far superior. read more

Ordered some tasty sandwiches, sides, and carrot cake from Hymie's for delivery yesterday, and most of it was pretty good! The Best of Both Worlds was the highlight for sure (would recommend!), but I also enjoyed the Shlemiel quite a bit, which was loaded with turkey, and the tuna sandwich and turkey club were decent! I like the seeded rye bread a lot, and none of the food was too salty or bland. The potato salad was good, too, and the carrot cake slab was yummy, if a bit on the sweeter side. Matzo ball soup was a tiny bit bland and didn't have much chicken--the Matzo ball soup at Schlessinger's is better and meatier. But the big outlier was the coleslaw, which was fishy??? It was the worst coleslaw I've ever had. I must've gotten a bad batch or something because it just tasted so wrong, especially when everything else was pretty good. Overall, I'd definitely get the specialty sandwiches again! Maybe not the sides or dessert though. read more

We went there for Breakfast. The meal was very good. Our waitress( unfortunately I don't recall her name ) was very professional and nice. My bagel with lox was delicious. My wife got the eggs benny. She said it was very good. Since I hadn't been there for over 46 years I decided to splurge and ordered the German Chocolate Cake. First, it was very delicious. Second, it was huge. I was only able to eat half and took the rest with us and finished it much later. I would highly recommend this place. Parking is available in the rear. read more

I know this iconic deli has a long history and many fans but I've never been impressed when I've tried it every several years over many decades, each time full of hope it's improved. The corned beef had chewy, gristly bits -- a former employee said they don't trim it properly. Their chopped liver was ghastly sweet. (Same former employee said they switched to cheaper, sweeter mayo.) The rye bread was cut so thin it disintegrated from the moisture of their sandwich. Just not any reason to return when there are better deli options to be had. (But not at Murray's across the street as they both have the same owner for a while now. Ironically, people are loyal to one or the other, but they are essentially the same.) Disappointing. Again. Not awful, but not a destination. read more
