Not recommended
I 0rdered the dollar pancakes. They were like small frisbees. Unedible. Fruit was served on plate with pancakes and fruit juice soaked into pancakes. They tried to seat us by a broken front door in 30 degree weather. People would leave because they were not waited on. 12/5/2010

Bad Stuff
Pastrami is tough and the soups taste like they came from a can. I guess they get their business from the overflow of the Carneige across the street who don't know what they are in for.

Bad experience
While you expect high prices and reasonably bad service from the "touristy" places, this one takes the cake. Horrendous service - even after trying to flag every waiter in the place down for 15 minutes, still no service, and place was a quarter empty. Food grossly overpriced. Bowl of cole slaw "for the table" was rancid, and pickles were moldy. I had the pleasure of "remembering" my meal several times that day in various forms. Many many many better experiences in the City.

Avoid Like the Plague
Restaurants have a very short span in New York. How this one survives baffles me. With horrendous service, laughable (not in a happy way) prices, subpar food and an unwelcome atmosphere, this "deli/restaurant" still exists. Why, oh why?! Please close it down.

Winner for the Worst Potato Knish in U.S.A
From Katz' Deli on NY Lower East Side, to PJ Bernstein on NY Upper East Side to Nate & Al in Beverly Hills, to Cantors on Fairfax in Los Angeles, or back on the 7th Avenue NY Carnegie Deli and the Stage Deli, Ben As wins for serving the worst potato knish in the U.S.A. The crust was like rubber! Most of the potato filling was tasteless. I was the only one at the take-out counter and it took 20 minutes to get it. I will not go back

Had much better elsewhere
Came with another couple. Read the reviews but tried the place any way. It is a tourist trap on the main ave. with a flashy name. The food was expensive and nothing to speak of. The mushroom soup was warm and very plain. The brisket was dry. The waiter was friendly and did his best to help us. His service was good.

unappetizing large pickled bottles displayed
Well, the food is decent although when I order lox an eggs typically its scrambled but they serve the lox strips separately and I had to mix it in my eggs. The thing that bothered my party was the old 2 foot jars of ancient sauerkraut still hissing by windows and our table. Get rid of these displays and maybe the food will go down better.
