Not too busy on lunch service. The coffee is served luke warm unless you ask for a fresh pot to be brewed. I tried the Reuben sandwich with fries and the meat although plentiful was on the drier than I would like and there was not enough sauerkraut. Also for Channukah they served this sandwich on a split sufganiyot which turned out pretty good.

Overall experience was great. The food is coming in big portions and all was well prepared. The kebab and schnitzel were particularly good. The soup was great as well. Service is fast and efficient.

Was recommended to this place by a local. My wife and I were looking for food to take in the car on the way back to the states. We were greeted by the owner who helped expedite the order so we were able to hit the road. Food was amazing even hours later. Some of the best chicken fingers I ever had. Would definitely recommend and will definitely go back.

Not a fan of over paying for food, but hey, some people want to get rich quick. Its good foor but very greasy very oily and to be frank, something i paid 30 bucks for i would hope would be prepared better. But i guess its custom to throw a wad of shanghai noodles that arent even seperated into the container. I wonder who thought it would be a good idea to give me a massive ball of food i cant enjoy....thanks

Had dinner here and Im not a first time customer. Decided to try the meat dish called pulled brisket. It was horrible. The BBQ and meat was not fresh in my opinion and waitress offered I order a new meal. I replaced it with chicken fingers to be safe and was happier however to my shock and dismay had the odasity to still charge for a meal we didnt eat!! Disgusted with this level of service. Said to call manager to discuss! Wont be calling. Paid and will never go back . I have even ordered uber eats from them and now lost me as a client. Non kosher restaurants would of never charged for food a customer doesnt like. Unbelievable moral of story dont try new items as if your not satisfied youll be billed.

Ordered egg rolls for appetizers and they came cold on the inside. Waitress took them back to the kitchen and returned with them reheated but dripping in oil. Not pleasant. Also the filling was very unusual...there were carrots and maybe soft noodles inside. Not much flavor. Would not order them again. Had 1/4 BBQ chicken which was ok but nothing special. Have previously had chicken wings and they were good.

Food was good, ordered through uber eats. Chicken sandwich was huge. Mashed potatoes were great. Chicken soup above average. Changed my side for a chefs salad that was extra cost but that was a huge swing and a miss on chicken nest part. I figured since it cost extra and is called the chefs salad would be closer to a gourmet salad or at least not served with iceberg lettuce. None the less would still order from them just wont trust my chances on salad anymore sadly. Any recommendations in what to order next time Chicken Nest?

Rude staff

December 22, 2020

Terrible restaurant and equally terrible staff I went in for the first time on a recommendation from a friend the waitress was busy talking to the other staff. I was told the corned beef was good so I asked if I could try a very small piece before I ordered the 22.00 sandwich I offered to pay for the small sample but they refused needless to say we left and they didnt seem to care. Sad for them as all my meals are in restaurants and I was hoping to find a good sandwich.

A good, old fashioned, hole in the wall, Home-style cooking restaurant! Famous for the beef ribs and chicken dishes, they also have great salads, tacos and soups. Kosher Restaurant- excellent quality of meat!

December 22, 2019

Found a transparent piece of plastic in the icecream and the strudel tasted store bought. The chicken wings had the same breading the falafels from Costco have and the wings themselves had a bit of an odd flavour I cant really pinpoint. The burgers were big and tasty as well as the fries, but there were very little tomatoes and lettuce in them. One burher had a slight butane taste, though. The soup was most definitely the best meal of our whole order hands down. Sadly, I have to add that I believe that $82.00 was a lot to pay for what we got.
