Review of Hymies & Barsons Deli

I was in the Philly for the weekend and all I could think about was a great night pastrami sandwhich. My friend s aunt recommended this place to me and let me tell you it was one of the best deli s I ve ever been to. It s rare to find old, traditional Jewish delis, as everywhere you go every great local place is being replaced by chain stores. I loved the atmosphere and how the store was set up. We waited about 10 minutes to sit down, but in the meantime we had a chance to look at their store and the fresh deli market they have inside. They have a complimentary salad and pickle bar, which offered amazing pasta salads. I ordered one of their breakfast specials that included potato pancakes, grilled pastrami, and poached eggs. The pastrami was so fresh and bountiful. It was some of the best pastrami I ve ever had. I can t recommend this place enough if you are in Philly and are looking for a classic delicatessen! I brought some slice pastrami home and have been making delicious bagels all week.
