There's also a handwashing station that has little pieces of bread next to it, which is very great for a Kosher restaurant. I've never had fried kreplach before, but this was amazing.

I met a group of thirty people for a celebratory lunch at Essen. There were delicious pickles on…read moreplates throughout each table of 15. There were two small plates of coleslaw at the other end of the table. We requested coleslaw for our end of the table and the very nasty Hispanic waiter said it's over there. We requested some for our end of the table - the nasty waiter begrudgingly brought it about 10 minutes later. Two people sitting opposite us ordered one kasha knish each but were not told the restaurant did not have any. Three potato knishes, two square and one round were served instead without any explanation or request for them. I ordered what should have been a restaurant special, pastrami, coleslaw and mustard served on an open knish. The knish was served ice cold, seeming to have just been pulled from the refrigerator and cut open. I asked for a knife to cut into the food but it never arrived. The pastrami was a fatty, inedible mess, next to no meat, just spices on room temperature meat fat. It was awful. The coleslaw and mustard were fine. Unfortunately, the dish as a whole was unpleasantly inedible. The same Hispanic waiter was rude to the person sitting next to me and the person sitting opposite me. He seemed intent on making it clear that customers were an inconvenience to him. While we were a large group other than us the restaurant was empty. With so few customers you'd think they'd at least make an effort with the food or basic courteous service. Nah, didn't happen. I would have liked to recommend Essen as a great kosher restaurant but I can't. My meal was awful, the waiter rude. Coleslaw was great, but nothing else was. I was very disappointed.

I got the healthy breakfast burritos (egg whites, Turkey bacon, Swiss and home fries w/ ketchup). It was good and definitely some extra napkins as you devour it. Will go back to try a different sandwich for sure. Make sure to check prices, they may have some incentives if using cash and watch out for addictives to pricing. Definitely worth a check out if you're in the area and just want a lot of options to choose from. Ambiance is like any deli spot with line setup and a few high seating side area

My most recent visits are just mostly pit stops for either chips or a Diet Pepsi. I've stopped by last night and felt a bit grossed out that they don't regularly dust off the wooden shelves where the chips are set. Talk about an allergic reaction waiting to happen, lmao. Also the place has a hobo-ish stench to it, at times. I feel like the person or persons they hire off the book don't know the basics of personal hygiene. And can they do all the paying customers a favor and stop allowing bums to loiter within the establishment? I understand it's a neighborhood deli and all but I'm not going to continue to invest my hard-earned money in a place like that. It makes me uncomfortable.

Worth the trek from the city…read more Absolutely phenomenal sandwiches. The roast beef sandwich was the standout--thinly sliced, incredibly tender roast beef layered with sweet caramelized onions and gooey melted cheese, all brought together with a deep, rich beef gravy that was perfect for dipping. The Godfather, their Italian cold cut sandwich, was also a hit--bold, flavorful, and expertly balanced. Both were served on an Italian seeded hero that was impressively fresh and perfectly toasted, giving just the right crunch. To top it off, the owner personally came out to check on us and thank us for our patronage. It's rare to see that kind of hospitality these days. He also let us sample their buffalo shrimp was more of a sweet and sour style fried shrimp/prawn. Delicious An amazing local spot that clearly takes pride in both their food and their service. Highly recommend.
