Potato knish
Becky L.

Excellent little gem in Mequon. Stopped in and ordered right after a group. It gave me a chance to see everything get sliced and prepared. I ordered a pressed pastrami with sauteed onions and pickles though the pickles didn't make it on the sandwich. No biggie as the sandwich was served with a delicious spear on the side. It comes with your choice of coleslaw or potato salad and I opted for coleslaw. Excellent sized portions and all of the flavors melded well with each other. I also got a potato knish - they had turnover and bun style since they're trying out the recipes. I got the bun style - no regrets. It was flaky, hot perfection! I downed it inno time. I didn't finish my sandwich and had 1/2 the next day and it was even better. I can't wait to go back. Check it out if you're in the area. Be prepared to wait a little bit for a handmade quality lunch if you stop in, but remember that it's worth it!

A friend recently told me about The Deli on Crown after he brought some chocolate babka to an event I was at. I decided to check it out as soon as I could. I ordered chicken matzah ball soup, a pastrami sandwich on french bread with extra pastrami, a slice of chocolate babka, and a can of Dr. Brown's Root Beer. The broth for the soup could have been a little more flavorful and I sadly only found a couple slices of carrot in it, but the large pieces of chicken in the soup were appreciated. I didn't dislike it, but I don't know if I'd get it again based on the price. With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner and plenty of opportunities to have corned beef, I decided to go with pastrami for my sandwich. I liked being given the option of french bread because I'm not a fan of rye and I'm glad I ordered the extra meat because 4 oz for the normal amount seems a little skimpy. Overall I liked the sandwich. The chocolate babka is to die for. It's like a loaf of bread crossed with a cinnamon roll, but instead of cinnamon layered throughout it's a chocolately fudge-like thing. Absolutely the best. I had Dr. Brown's Root Beer for the first time a little over a year ago and have been struggling since to find a place locally that specifically sells root beer from that brand, not just their other flavors. I've tried many different kinds of root beer in my life and this is the best one of them all. I'm thankful I stopped and saw they had it.

This is a great new Kosher Deli, tucked away in the lower level of the Peltz Center of Jewish Life. There's no sign on Mequon Road, so you have to turn in to see the signs for its location. A bit of local marketing got me in the door. A friendly Rabi gifted me a loaf of challah bread one Friday afternoon, so I decided to give them a try. I visited and got a pound of pastrami. It was delicious, and I plan to stop in again; however, the hours are limited, so be sure to check before you go. Sadly, they did not sell the loaf of bread that got me interested in the store to begin with, but I plan to go back to sample the remainder of the menu.

This is a new little hidden gem in Mequon! Pros: Great menu options, nice employees, our sandwiches are very flavorful! Side options were great too, I enjoyed their potato salad. So much potential here and I hope they do well! Do yourself a favor and purchase a slice of the chocolate babka for after or the next morning - so so good!! Cons: bread was either dry or stale - kind of fell apart when eating. Perhaps the French roll option is better and I will try that next time. Also, menu says 6 ounces of freshly sliced meat. I didn't feel it was 6 ounces and definitely could have used more. Also - the prices were a little high ($35 for two sandwiches and 1 soda), but if they're corning and smoking their meats there, I have no problem paying for the work behind that. However, no mention of doing this in house. Would love to see this if they are. Lastly, there wasn't much of a vibe in the restaurant. No music or ambiance. It could have been more warm and welcoming with some music on. Overall, will definitely go back. The staff was very nice and the sandwiches were great!

It's not the best food I've ever had, but where else can you go to get a matzah ball like this? Food: The food is good, but I wouldn't call it spectacular. I usually order the chicken soup with matzah balls. For me, the soup itself has always been a bit blah, more like a very thin chicken broth. The matzah ball is really the star of the show. I also noticed what other people were eating, and the corned beef sandwich and potato pancakes looked very good. Most people cleaned their plates, which is always a good sign. Service: Service has always been very good. Quick and efficient is the name of the game here. I got a spot at the counter, seated between two other people. Menus, ordering, and the check all happened without much waiting. The servers are friendly, but always on the move. There's not much idle chatter. Atmosphere: The place feels worn, but clean. The large windows bring in lots of natural light. There is booth, table, and counter seating. They fit a lot of people into the space, but it doesn't feel overcrowded. With that many people, the noise level can get loud. Pro tip: The parking lot is small and shared with several other businesses. It's usually best to find a spot on the street.

I tried a tuna melt, having been underwhelmed by a breakfast experience on a prior visit and since I don't eat meat. the sandwich was good and I enjoyed the challah bread until about halfway through when I hit a fishy bite and was put off. The accompanying fries were very good. BF really enjoyed his Reuben, which was filling and meaty - thus the 4 stars. I'm waiting for a winner from Benji's, but as a vegetarian, I might be waiting a long time.

There were several servers hanging around and it wasn't clear where I could order. Sat at the counter and was ignored for 5 min. The server came over and told me to go to the deli area. It was a challenge to understand the clerk. A quart and pint of soup with a bagel and lox was $40. While I waited i read recent reviews and was alarmed. What happened to the best Jewish deli in our area? The lox tasted very fishy, like smoked fish. Unlike any lox I'd ever eaten. I asked for capers and regretted it; there were so many and with only the tiniest shmear of cream cheese, it was inedible. Too salty to be edible. The bagel was ok, but couldn't eat much of it. The chicken soup with mishmosh also disappointed. The lid was swimming in grease. I discarded it carefully. There was 1 matzo ball (ok), tons of noodles (meh) rice (ugh - underdone and inedible) and a kreplach ( I had to spit it out - filling was rancid and sour). The broth was tasteless and unseasoned. What happened to Benji's? So sad.
