    I have a gift and genuine streak of luck for finding great eateries and dining experiences. The Borscht Belt is a terrific example of Yelp searching and last minute mind changing. I was going to Primo Subs and decided to hang a right and see what else was in the shopping center. There's the Borscht Belt! Oh I just saw them on Yelp and whammo I'm in the front door! It's perfect inside, bright clean and really has the old school Brooklyn deli appeal. I live the tiny hexagon black and white tiles. I was poking at the automated order screen for takeout when I said oye get a hot pastrami and eat it here! Don't be a schmuck! The young lady running the front house was dynamite. She seated me and was swift and pleasant. The table area in the front across from the deli cases was ideal. Comfy and entertaining all in one. I got a 50/50 Rachel with slaw. This was pastrami and corned beef plus a side of the latke bites. There's a bit of a wait so be prepared but it's worth it for delicious tender and juicy corned beef and pastrami drippings the latke bites with mensch sauce what's outstanding. I tasted the corned beef before biting my humongous sandwich. Then I had a eureka moment and made a tiny latke and corned beef sandwich. DANG!!! That was a good one. Then I dug into the sandwich and it was mega delicious. I was only capable of eating half. No worries I'm all in on the other half for dinner. Guys don't pass up an opportunity to eat here it's a real super food find in the Newtown area. Yum-tas-tic!!!

    I came here for lunch with my daughter, as we both wanted some good sandwiches. I had heard great things about Borscht Belt being an authentic NYC style delicatessen that also has great bagels. We weren't disappointed! We came at lunch on a Friday, so it wasn't busy at all. So the amount of service was impressive! We had five people check in with us to make sure we had what we needed, that we were enjoying our food, and bringing us samples to test. And all the workers, including the owner, were super nice. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service. The food was also awesome. They provide pickles and coleslaw as an appetizer, both of which were great. We shared the potato latkes, which was delicious. My daughter had a breakfast sandwich on an amazing challah bread, and I had a soup and half sandwich. For the soup, I had the matzo ball soup, which was the best I've had. For the sandwich, I picked the Don Rickles (roast beef sandwich). They put a nice spin on a classic, with crispy onions, horseradish aoili, and jalapeños. It was fantastic. We also got a dozen of their authentic NYC Ess-a bagels to go. They are partially cooked in NYC and shipped here so they can be finished and served fresh. With so many creative dishes on the menu to try, and such great service, plus a great old school 50s deli vibe, how can we not come back? Looking forward to our next visit! Keep up the great work!

    Phenomenal deli experience. A modern throwback to the classic NY deli experience and the famous hotels in the Catskills that made up the "Borscht Belt" back in their heyday. The staff couldn't be more accommodating and the food was out of this world. We tried the matzo ball soup, the 50/50 (steamed corned beef and pastrami on rye, the Miss Maisel sandwich, black and white cookie, and chocolate Babka. They import food daily from the best of the best including bread and baked goods from Rockland Bakery, Babka from a 150 year old bakery in Brooklyn, knishes from the famous Knish Nosh, bagels from Ess-a-bagel, and their meats are done in house. They also offer an expansive array of smoked fish and other products to take home. Everything here is top notch and the place itself has such a cool vibe. It's not often I walk out of a restaurant already planning our next visit and what we will order. I also found out they will be opening another location in the Trenton Farmers Market in late February. A big 5 stars for the. Borscht Belt!

    What a cool concept. Pays homage to the golden days of the Catskills and serving up some legit Jewish deli favorites. Plenty of Catskills kitsch lines the walls with a few Yiddish expressions sprinkles in. At least a half dozen different kinds of lox are available. Plus staples like white fish, corned beef and pastrami. And of course bagels and bialys. Tried their eggs benedict adaptation .... Perfectly poached egg atop a potato latke with sliced pastrami and half a sliced avocado, with hollandaise sauce. It could have been hotter from the kitchen but the taste is excellent. The pastrami makes the meal. Also tried a Brown's combo. A fresh pumpernickel bagel is piled high with nova lox, then topped with a giant scoop of whitefish salad, then garnished with thinly sliced tomato and sliced raw onion. I swore it was 55 years ago and I was with at my grandma's house in Brooklyn and we had just walked back from the appetizer store with our Sunday morning feast. It's not inexpensive. But the food is excellent and authentic. I'm only disappointed that I live in NC so can't make this spot a regular stop.

    Overall good experience at Borscht Belt. I went with my boyfriend who got the Reuben and said it was really good. My bagel was also good. Not the best I've ever had but definitely solid and would come again! Lots of great options to choose from and the workers were all very nice. I would bring cash too cause if you pay card there is a service fee

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Borscht Belt Delicatessen at their new location in Newton, Pennsylvania. It was a special experience. As a fan of Eastern European and Jewish cuisine, I was captivated by the restaurant's promise to bring the flavors of the Borscht Belt to life. I am pleased to report that they delivered on their promise. Upon entering the delicatessen, I found a warm and inviting atmosphere. I met the owners, family members, and mingled with customers. It's a party. I would characterize the decor as a modern throwback to the Catskills with vintage photographs combined with colors of Miami South Beach. The staff was friendly and attentive, eager to make sure we would have a great experience. Moving to the food, I was delighted by the variety and authenticity of options. Being there for breakfast, we decided on the Concord and the Browns. For each sandwich, we customized with an Essa sesame seed bagel. These are true NY bagels not some weak copy. We ate half of our large sandwiches and brought the rest home. The Concord was comprised of exceptional baked salmon salad, delicious nova lox, horseradish cream cheese onions, tomatoes and capers. The horeradish cream cheese and capers added a contemporary spin to a classic sandwich and worked perfectly. Turning to the Browns, it was also an excellent creation. With all that said, one suggestion is that the nova should be sliced thinner. In addition, we took out house roasted turkey, coleslaw, half a rye bread and a slice of chocolate babka. The turkey and coleslaw were incredible. The chocolate babka is top tier and is everything I want in a babka...starting with lots of chocolate! I cannot wait to return to try more from the menu. I highly recommend paying a visit to the Borscht Belt Delicatessen in Newtown, PA. You won't be disappointed!

    First off, this is a really cute deli both inside and out. Great decor. Food was great - their brisket cheesesteak was amazing. Seriously, order it. We had an incredible waitress as well. We'll be back!

    Very glad I finally returned to The. Borscht Belt Deli which had relocated from Stockton, NJ to my hometown, Newtown. What a different time can make, not to mention a new home. The floor plan is standard in design with tables along one wall and deli counter along the other. Order/pay in the back, take possession up front if going out, or at your table if eating in. Hard to miss the white ceramic tile floor and the aroma of smoked meat and fish resting in the chill case. Service was attentive (even friendly), and the time from walking in to walking out, less than ten minutes. I ordered an Onion Bagel with Veggie Smear and World Famous Potato Latkes with little cups of sour cream and apple sauce. Everything was nicely packaged with heavy white and brown paper and recyclable clamshell snap close box. Cool touch to put the bagel in a cocoon and slice through the wrapping to allow each half bagel to be held cleanly before the mange. Also, the onion flakes on the bagel skin were a mix of crisp and soft, creating both a textural and flavor combination unique to these bad boys. Every bagelmeister should consider this style, as it is an interesting addition to the traditional bagel. The chomp and munch were equally enjoyable. The Latkes were the dense variety, and tastyfilling. I generally prefer a lighter body, perhaps of rougher gauge grate that allows more nooks and crannies to crisp when fried in hot oil. Still, I liked them, especially the apple sauce accompaniment which was a dark sauce with added cinnamon. Tasty! Prices are high, but worth the splurge every once in a while.

    I can't exactly put my finger on why we were less than satisfied, but I'll try. We had been so eager to try Borscht Belt. Yes it's pricey..$50 for a pound of Halva? Maybe we were seeking more traditional flavors and preparations. I've often said that you really can't judge a restaurant by one meal (unless the service is atrocious or the place is unsanitary etc), so I'm assuming the next meal with different selections could be a totally different experience. My friend ordered an egg cream (good) and had at least a 10 minute wait at the counter trying to get some mustard to liven up her sandwich. She left most of hers uneaten. I ordered a Rachel without cheese. I didn't realize it was grilled which was a plus. The seeded rye bread also a plus. The pastrami was ok; the coleslaw was really not to our taste with red cabbage and not a dressing I could define. We've lived in PA Dutch country a long time and are used to the finely chopped and sweetened slaw most Jewish delis serve. This was not that at all. I took my leftovers home but decided I didn't like them enough to eat them. A waste! Score big for the large slab of chocolate babka! We loved it. I'm sure I'll give the restaurant another chance perhaps when they open the rumored Newtown location closer to me. No coleslaw or pastrami, but there are many other things to try.

    My wife and I conducted a blind rye bread tasting. Five ryes competed for bragging rights. How does one conduct a "blind" tasting. My wife took a slice of bread from each deli and numbered them 1-5. Only my wife was aware of the mapping of the deli to the numbers. I then returned to the room and my wife stepped away. I made the sandwiches and then converted the numbers to letters. #1 becomes letter C, #2 becomes letter A, etc. The mapping of numbers to letters was only known by me. Below are the results in order of worst to best. #5 Original South Philly Jewish Rye (available at Giant Food Markets) cost $6 for a full loaf. This was our least favorite. No flavor and the texture was completely off. The bread was very dry, almost stale. If you are short on time (and money), this will work but my recommendation is head to a deli and get some real NY Jewish Rye. #4 Ben & Irv's Deli in Southamptom cost $5.50 for a half loaf. The texture gets us closer to a true deli rye bread but still dry and light on flavor. #3 Moish and Itzy's in Newtown cost $6.00 for a half loaf. The crust is chewy as it should be and tasted great. The inside is a bit on the dry side. This was just a hair behind the #2 spot. Candidly I would rank this higher but my wife found the dryness unacceptable and I never win an argument with her. #2 Borscht Belt in Newtown cost $10 for a half loaf. This is a softer texture if that is your thing. My wife liked the texture but I like a chewier crust and heartier bread. I don't know that this bread will hold up to a mound of meat or wet toppings. The flavor was terrific. If you don't mind spending $10 for a half loaf of bread, then give it a try. I'm saving for retirement so probably won't return anytime soon. #1 [Top Spot] Manny's Famous Deli in Holland cost $4.50 for a half loaf. Winner winner chicken dinner. This is the fan favorite and a must try for anyone that values a good bread. Manny's offers the gold standard of ryes and at a price that leaves enough money to also buy a deli pickle. Let us know if you would like us to assess another favorite food. Even better, are you convinced you have a favorite? Put your conviction to the test and conduct a blind tasting of your own.

    Is any of the lox listed salty like belly lox? Do have whole white fish? Could that be ordered? Shiva platters? Did I miss sloppy joe combo corned beef and pastrami with cole slaw and Russian dressing in the menu?

    Belly Lox is something we are considering, but I would order the Scottish Salmon if you want something semi in between that and Nova. We leave a whole whitefish for display as one left over from making fresh whitefish salad daily.. I will inquire to… Read more

I asked what I was in for and was immediately schooled on all of the offerings by the owner..... she described every item with great detail, pride and passion. I ended up buying some items for my wife's work and something for myself. The prices seemed high, but believe me you're getting what you pay for. I ended up with two Croissants - Buttery, flaky French-style croissant, one Pain au Chocolat - Our classic croissant filled with two bittersweet chocolate batons, one Nutella croissant - Our classic croissant filled with delicious Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread, one Fruit Jam croissant - our classic croissant filled with delicious fruit jam and a Almond Chocolate croissant - Our classic almond croissant filled with two bittersweet chocolate batons. For myself, I took another customers advice and went with a savory Ham and cheese croissant - our classic croissant filled with bechamel (creamy white sauce), ham and cheese. The shiny sheen of buttery baked goodness was the first thing you'll notice before you taste that flaky brown crust. Every bite was a clean crisp break and boy did all the flavors of ham and cheese combine to make a fantastic breakfast. My bill was $40 combined for all seven items. (I believe the ham and cheese croissant itself was about $6 and change) The croissants my wife brought to work were a hit. One of the her co-workers lived in France for several years and was complaining she couldn't find a comparable croissant on this side of the pond. She was beyond impressed and commented they are better than most she remembered. Mission accomplished, she'll be paying her first visit and I'll be returning to try some sweet options next time! Small location, but a mighty and beautiful product made with love at Mamie Colette!

Their menu has a mix of cutlet sandwiches, cheesesteaks, burger, tacos, quesadillas and burritos. The man who took my order wasn't much for words, but the food more than made up for it! My wife had the Chicken Quesadilla $15 (comes with fries). I had the combination tacos $16 which had one hot sausage taco, one chipotle and one birria. All three tacos were stuffed and bursting with flavor. The double tortillas were awesome and made the overstuffed tacos easier to handle, but were also fresh and had a nice crunch to them. I enjoyed the birria most with the chipotle coming in a close second. The hot sausage taco was decent, but I needed more heat and flavor from it. The birria had a tasty combination of cheese, cilantro and onion to go along with the seasoned beef. The chipotle chicken partnered with pineapple, cilantro and onion hit the spot as well. The Chicken Quesadilla had a perfect portion of melted cheese and lightly seasoned chicken. It also held together extremely well. The fries were forgettable, but the main event was delicious.
