His Romanian fare is authentic, as all the Eastern European items he creates and imports are. With the help of his wonderful wife, he has even nailed Swedish Potato Sauage . Having both Scandinavian & Romanian heritage I can attest to the true traditional recipes he uses. To make it even better, a Romanian lady from the Cities brings stuffed cabbage rolls to add to his options. "Sarmale", as it called in Romania, is just like my Grandma made. WORTH THE DRIVE!

It's a mainstay, lots of grab and go items, bakery, smaller grocery market, full of organic and fresh salads, sandwiches, soups, etc. Great place to pickup some items before heading down to the river for a picnic. You can also eat on a patio in the back they have tables available. I got the Italian sandwich, it was delicious, fresh Italian meat selection, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, oil and vinegar. Yum! Picked up some chips and a freshly made pumpkin muffin and walked down to the river. At checkout they were rounding up for the local library, which I love, support local!

Was really disappointed with my experience at Neilsons today. My husband went there yesterday to…read moregrab hamburger for tonight's dinner only to find out it had already been 2 days expired. Also this has been the 3rd or 4th time since summer this has happened. So I call and talk to the manager of the meat department and he told me "they'll probably refund you in the front" (which they did) but I told him I didn't really want to be that person and complain but it's getting frustrating. Having to do multiple trips to the same store for one meal because of the meat. Like every month. The food prices are already high. Not to mention for a local grocer. And to get home and find out the food you just bought is already bad? It shouldn't really be my job to check dates. There are food distribution laws that prohibit that. And he told me either deal with it or drive a half hour somewhere else. I also addressed the fact the last time I called they sold me RANCID chicken that hadn't even hit its expiration date yet and he told me "well what do you want me to do, open the packages everyday??". I'm not sure but in most other department stores when i call and notify them of rancid/dangerous products, the response shouldn't be "yeah we heard, just bring it back for a refund." That would be a recall on product for the public in most other stores. Love the cashiers. But that was totally on character for the other calls I've made to the meat department. The other manager in the front also seemed less than interested in the fact his employee acted out like this or that they sold bad/ dangerous merch. Will not be visiting again.

Been stopping by Nelson's for years! Need the perfect lunch...look no further!…read more Street parking available nearby! This is a no frills, but well-oiled machine of a deli! The line is usually out the door during the lunch rush, but don't worry...they'll get you through quick! Well-staffed with people that are excited to see you and excited to make you something delightful! Sandwiches (warm or cold) and salads are the name of the game! Choose your line, order it up as is or custom, and grab your soda/chips to make it a meal and you are set! On my latest visit, I had the Old Fashioned, which was perfect! Made a few swaps including a french roll, no tomatoes, add pickles! Perfect lunch size, great value, and quality ingredients! There's a reason people will wait in line for this spot! I can't recommend it enough!

I've been meaning to try Kramarczuk's for years. This lunch I just had did not disappoint!…read more Their Reuben came highly recommended - and I agree that it is incredible. I also really enjoyed the Ukrainian meatball with butter noodles and tomato cream sauce. Something about that combo is dreamy! The meatball is tender and the sauce is just the perfect balance of creamy and tomato-y. The restaurant side has a cafeteria-style setup. There's also a deli with so many meats, bread, snacks, and condiments. Service was fantastic and everyone was friendly. There's a small parking lot for use while shopping there but it can definitely fill up.

As always, I got the meatball with the tomato cream sauce; that sauce is the best!!!! We also got the pierogis but they weren't as good as usual, I think they were over fried and dry, and just didn't taste like I remember. Overall, I love this spot and the Eastern European comfort food they serve.

Thank goodness... we still have Cecil's in the Twin Cities!!!…read more The mood, the relaxed comfortable and kind staff who do not rush you to sit rush you to order. Instead EVERYONE is 100 % natural welcoming laid back and genuine in wanting to see you content and pleased. Nothing is ever pushed onto you. The quality of the pastrami, its seasoning, the textures and bright flavors of the breads and bagels the nova the chopped liver the extra creamy marinated Cole slaw and perfect half sour pickles ( wISH they had bialys!). All perfect. All old world. Our favorite very old deli in West Palm Beach was sold 1.5 years ago and gone gone gone are the DELIGHTFUL happy charming old staff and the perfect old world flavors, cooking. In Sarasota where we just lived the last 5 years, a new deli closed after just 2 years, and there is nothing left. We've been visiting family in Sarasota every year for 40 years. Gone too in the Twin Ciries is the ownership by brothers Scot and Stu of Hopkin's beloved Crossroads Deli just last year. The new owners, a corporation owning 6-8 other restaurants have CHANGED almost all the recipes for breads, cakes , wonderous cookies and 80 % of all pastries! No more butter, no more fine ingredients and no more of their once " Grossinger's taste/quality" STELLAR seeded rye bread! They even eliminated the lemon flavoring. In their incomparable lemon coconut cake! Their stuffed cabbage is one of their only true deli dishes left. Sandwiches are half their original size...... heart breaking after going there 3-4 times a week for 25 years........ Cecil's of course had to cut back on the $$ use of butter in their pastries. But they have WORKED VERY HARD to still retain their wonderous long long ago heart warming flavors. ALL their sandwiches are AUTHENTIC. Old world New York City flavors! Made with care and love. My husband loves their beautiful generous Nova salmon platte. Noshing away happily! I love their pastrami Rachel's with plentiful half sour pickles lots of Russian dressing and creamy Cole slaw. Mmmmmm. I hope and pray Cecil's owner refrains for a long long time from selling his rare business. We must support Cecil's too.... Or lose it with all the others, and lose part of our joy and heart. Thank you Cecil's .....

Old school all the way. There's a restaurant in the back, and a full-scale deli counter in the front. It is such a good stop. They have their own private parking lot too. Wood paneling, and a bunch of local reviews all over the walls. Clean, normal sound. Simple, with excellent customer service, and a huge menu that will have something that you like. Packed the midweek afternoon we visited, and we did not wait for a table. Loved my bowl of Matzo Soup, superb broth and the Matzo was delicious. Enjoyed my BLT on whole wheat and the homemade potato salad was amazing! Had a cherry cobbler for dessert that was incredible. Restaurant has been open for over 70 years, and I met the owner/manager, Cecil, afterward, and he just oozes customer service being a priority. It's a must-visit place.
