First time visit to Schmaltz Deli and it was a great meal. Visited in the mid afternoon and they were fairly busy. Was warmly greeted by the host and sat at a nice table. The waiter who was also the host was super nice and sincerely asked if I had some questions. The menu is pretty extensive and he helped me make the ... rights sandwich selection as I wanted to try both the corned beef and the pastrami. I went with the #20 Old New Yorker which came with cold slaw and Russian dressing, plus he brought me spicy and yellow mustard after I mentioned I wanted the Russian dressing on the side. I had to try the Matzo Ball soup and it did not disappoint. A cup that is a bowl in most restaurants. They know what they are doing. The broth tasted home made and had great flavor. A giant Matzo Ball in the soup. It was soft and fluffy on the outside and a little firmer in the middle. In my family, we always made them very firm. But I like them both ways. They had a nice flavor and I added a little pepper to spice it up a bit, as I have my whole life. Oh I almost forgot, they bring you some nice baked parmesean bagel chips to start. They were very good. I took some home. I think there was butter on them, but could have been olive oil, not really sure. A tasty start! My waiter went home mid meal and the guy who took over was super attentive and very polite. The waiters and the whole staff were very experienced and they really seem to go out of their way to make people feel appreciated. I think one of the family members came by and asked me how everything was. We chatted about the Russian dressing, which I told him reminded me of my Mom's homemade Thousand Island dressing. He said their Russian dressing is an original mixture of Thousand Island and Russian. Its excellent! The sandwich was delicious with spicy pastrami and lean and tender corned beef. The pastrami was a bit fatty, but I forgot to ask for extra lean (my fault, as many people like the fatty cut.) It came with a full half-sour pickle, which again takes me back to my childhood when my grandmother would make these for us. A truly nice touch. All in all, this place exceeded my expectations. They would have knocked my socks off if they had Kishke on the menu.😁 I will definitely be back and bring some friends and family who I am sure will love it. Read More

How have I never visited this place before today? Decor is no frills but the vibe is warm and inviting. We opted for table service rather than counter service. The staff knew most of the people dining and made sure to call them by name which is something you do not really see any more. We were greeted with a bowl of ... bagel chips that I will literally have dreams about! I started with the Matzah Ball soup and had the Sloppy Paul which was their Reuben and was perfection. The bread is house made the corned beef was perfectly sliced, lean and Melts in your mouth! We ended with the eclair which was light and delicious and perfectly sweetened. the portions are very generous so consider sharing! I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu! Read More

Super helpful staff and great food. They accidentally messed up my order, but immediately fixed it. The bagel variety is good and the quality of the sandwich is great.

First time here and stopped in after seeing all the reviews! The food portion is pretty huge and service was really nice. Coffee is complimentary. So worth it! Would come again to try the other sandwiches

Love this place! Super customer-oriented young man, led to the table, even moved the chair - a real gentleman! His name Erik I guess. Is Bagel the best I have eaten, did not skimp on products, tasty and satisfying! Definitely will come back here!

Ok, amazing corned beef and pastrami. Great sandwiches overall. Love that you can choose "overstuffed" if you want it packed with meat. Really enjoyed. Soup was also really good! Hint on the pickles... they give you a "half sour" pickle by default, but you can ask for a classic dill. It's the deli we've been ... looking for. Read More

I went to Schmaltz for the first time this past Saturday afternoon with my husband and infant. It being lunch time, I was worried it might be busy, but it was the perfect amount of people. We were seated right away, and our server was very friendly and accommodating. I had a matzo soup and half a pastrami sandwich ... and was very pleased. It was exactly what I had the taste for, and the half sour pickle was crisp and fresh. My husband enjoyed his hot dog and soup, and our son enjoyed the complimentary bagel chips! Before leaving, I purchased a half a dozen bagels, cream cheese, and a loaf of challah, and I thought it was reasonably priced. The bagels were delish and I have found my new bagel spot! I definitely recommend Schmaltz and will be returning. The food, atmosphere, and friendliness is all there! 😋 Read More
