    The service from waitstaff was very good. What enhanced it was the attention by the owner who came by more than once to ask if we needed anything or if we were happy. So pleasant and welcoming it made us enjoy the experience even more. The apple strudel was beyond exceptionally delicious, not too sweet and the apples tasted fresh. The appearance of the Deli is fresh, bright, comfortable and clean.

    I have experienced Deli’s from coast to coast and can say that my experience at J’s was a great experience with both the service from Tony and the quality of the food. Patio seating with the outdoor heaters just made for an all around great experience. I should also note that my Golden Retriever was also pleased with his personal water bowl. Two paws up from Bentley.

    We sat on patio and enjoyed the music from the playlist. Music was loud enough to enjoy AND have a conversation. The service was great. The menu is broad and we enjoyed everything.

    J's is obviously short handed with help. The help tried their best but service was lacking. the pastrami sandwich was dispointing-small amount of bread and dry as well. I will not order this sandwich if I dine here in the future.

    Thus was our first experience. We were pleasantly surprised when we first entered the restaurant, it was bustling with customers, pleasantly greeted, the ambiance was more elaborate than I expected, and the customer service was present the entire time. We were so glad we finally made it t0 J’s Deli!

    First time dining here and the food was great. We started with an appetizer of potato latkes - great quantity and texture yet a bit more onion would make them perfect. The corned beef sandwich on rye was fantastic as was the blackened pastrami. The soups were enjoyed by all. Service was prompt and friendly. We enjoyed our dining experience.

    Jay personally came over to welcome us & to introduce himself to our 4 guests that had never been there before. The food & service were superb as always. It’s great to have a place like J’s Deli that you can always count on, especially with guests.
