Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop

stopped in once on a whim. this old-time diner is one of the few left and does not disappoint. it's inexpensive and delicious and has a wide range of food. will definitely be going back

I am beside myself with joy right now! I know, it's silly to be so excited about a $12 lunch tab but, after eating more than my fair share of mediocre $15 sandwiches from the so-called legends, I feel like I have to take a few minutes and get the word out about Eisenberg's. I sat at the old school stool at the counter and started with Borscht/Sour Cream which was literally as good as I have ever had and I have had it everywhere! Amazing. It was cold and fresh vs. the typical lukewarm and boring at other spots around Manhattan. A perfect bowl. Not feeling up to a reuben or pastrami, I decided to keep it simple and ordered a Grilled Cheese w/Bacon on white bread. Delicious. The bacon was crisp and exceptionally tasty with a rich cheddar and bread that was toasted to a perfect color. The plate came with three small dill pickles which were the perfect contrast to the grilled sandwich. I also ordered my first Lime Rickey (fresh Lime juice, club soda, Bitters and Simple Syrup) which tasted like the perfect summer ade. My meal took just less than 20 minutes to order, make, eat and pay...a record for me and all the more reason to be excited. The servers were as friendly as they needed to be and very diligent in getting it done right.

I have been looking for a great diner with delivery for 3 years- and I have found it. I have never written a review before, but this place is worthy of all the hype. The food is consistently FANTASTIC! I ordered from here for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago because of a friend who swears that this is the ABSOLUTE Best old fashion diner in the city, and she was right. The rueben is Amazing, great homemade muffins and sandwiches, and from what I hear the best penut butter and jelly sandwich you will ever have. Today I ordered breakfast and my tea had spilled on my sandwich so I called to see if I could have my food redelivered- The owner delivered the food himself in what seemed like less than 5 minutes- mind you I don't live that close. I am so impressed with the service and the consistent quality I can not say enough good things- and my reuben is fabulous!!!!!

This place is the greatest hole in the wall sandwich joint I've ever been to. Not only do they make any sandwich you could possibly imagine, they have great old school cakes and zippy service. You're always served with a smile. The best part is this: it was soon to go out of business (for financial reasons only, not lack of business) until a regular customer decided that he couldn't bear to see the space turn into another modern, $9-foccacia-and-bean-sprout-panini bistro. He bought Eisenberg's, and now you can see him behind the counter almost daily. It's beautiful.

All the sandwiches are great. This place is authentic. Iv'e been enjoying Eisenberg's for the 8 years now. Stick w/ the corned beef and brisket.

I went there and got a burger because everyone raves about them. It was burnt and dry. Granted, it was huge, but the quality was poor and was like eating a hockey puck. The interior is cool in a 1940's way, but that is about it.

I used to order from ANOTHER place on 23rd which has decent food..but the service there is terrible. I must have gotten french toast 5 or 6 times without butter when I specifically told them to throw tons of butter in the bag& does extra cheese mean no cheese? Anyway, one day my coworkers were ordering from Eisenbergs and I figured why not try something new..that was 2 months ago and ive been a customer ever since. I LOVE the food & speedy delivery and the prices are great for Manhattan! 5 all the way!!!
