The Yelp reviews for this place seems to be all over the place. I think pastrami is just in a weird spot, it seems everyone has a different idea of what it’s supposed to be. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that supermarket deli pastrami is almost nothing like what places like Katz’s is putting out. Everyone seems to have their own idea of what pastrami is supposed to taste like.
I used to pretty much only get it at Richard’s in Long Branch, they used to do a great job when I asked for it extra fatty. Last couple times it came out lean and that must have been like 5 years ago, haven’t even had pastrami since then. And then I see reviews at places and you see complaints here and there that it was too fatty. I know a bunch of places have opened in our area in the last few years but no one seems to have consistently good reviews. Man pastrami must be tough business.
