Okay: Black and White Cookie
9/10

Great deli. Wife has a specific order for her turkey sandwich that alot of places will jack up, but they got it right and she said it was one of the best she's had. Reuben was good, would've liked a more intense rye bread but the dressing and meat we're on point.

I got the turkey and Swiss and other than the size being a bit daunting it was delicious and flavorful, I m definitely going back to Biderman s.

Good god all mighty! Finally a proper deli in the downtown area. Super friendly staff, classic deli vibes and the best sandwich I ve had in a long, long time. I ordered the Clevlander and it did not disappoint. (Note that I m writing this review from my bed in a food coma @ 1pm in a Tuesday. If you re looking for a good classic sandwich with all fresh ingredients look no further! You have arrived. Zach! Thanks for the new lunch spot

Fake as it comes. Not a traditional Jewish deli that serves bacon and ham on sandwiches and cheese with meat. Also traditonal Jewish do not work or spend money on the high holy day which is saturday not sunday. Also that no rabbi is a key holder to this place to make sure it is kept kosher. Good try though posers.

Great bagels, friendly service. Corn beef was impeccable.

Reuben Sandwich for the win! Sauerkraut nicely balanced with the juicy corned beef, topped off with a dash of dressing made this a perfect sandwich.

The best pastrami sandwich in town! Things I need to remember for my next order - request extra mustard, an extra pickle and toasted rye.

I've never heard of an egg everything bagel, can't wait to try it next time I go! Also they are kid friendly (there's high chairs) and plenty of seating! I'm looking forward to coming back here.

Large delicious sadwiches with ample amounts of meats, delicious soups and desserts and great friendly service. Honestly better quality than the larger chain restaurants. If you love sandwiches this is a must to try. Don't forget their hot delicious french fries... I don't think they are on the menu but go great with any of their sandwiches.

Good delis are hard to find. Lots of sandwich shops masquerading as delis but Biderman's Deli is the real thing! The House Reuben is a killer reuben! It was the best I've had in Texas, My friend had the Far West Club which is turkey, ham, swiss, white cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo on sourdough. It is a huge sandwich and very tasty. Highly recommended!

Great food and Staff! High quality food and service! Thank You so much for your Military support as well. Really made my day! They really care about the food and customers.

Huge portion sandwiches. Friendly service. Indoor and outdoor (sidewalk) seating

As soon as you open the door you are smacked in the face with the smell of fresh bagels.... YUM!

A sandwich so huge it serves as lunch and then supper. Friendly staff.

Food is fantastic and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Definitely a good place to become a regular.

I ate the Max and a cup of tomato basil.

Both were good. The sandwich was tasty, well made, and had high quality ingredients. The tomato basil was also good.

The meal was good. I don't know if it was $19 good, but it was good.

Very good sandwiches. It's not mentioned oline, but they do have gluten free bread!

I've been here a dozen times and haven't ordered anything I was less than thrilled with. Never disappoints! Long lines just mean you're in for a treat.

So glad I found this place!!! The food is great :)

Biderman's Deli is the best I've had since I left Chicago. The Reuben sandwich is packed with flavor. The pickles are crisp and refreshing. The matzo ball soup is authentic. The corned beef omelet is awesome as well. The tomato soup is tasty and will satisfy your flavor craving. I've heard that the cheesecake is tops. The staff is helpful and care about the product that they present and it shows. They have an outdoor patio as well. G-d Bless them for sharing their cuisine. It's an experience for sure.

Very tasty, homemade bread rolls, super large sandwich

Absolutely amazing sandwiches!!!! Amazing customer service!!! Definitely a place to get your true hot or cold sandwich! Would definitely love to come back for their bagles and coffee as they open at 7:30 a.m everyday!!! I had the Cleveland sandwitch!!! And my girlfriend had the Far West sandwich both very tasty!!! Definitely looking forward to our next visit soon!!!

Delicious sandwiches! Actually, I've not had anything bad there. The bagels and other deli items are also delicious.

The only thing I get here is the tuna sandwich -- and it is fantastic. Whatever is in the tuna salad is great, their bread is great, their pickle spears are great! I also usually get a piece of banana bread, which is also really yummy. The spot is usually pretty packed around lunch time, but they get through the line quickly. Yum.

Visited this place for the first time today and I can surely tell you I will be back! To start the cashier was very knowledgeable of the menu and what options were available. The menu is simple and from the two sandwiches I tried very well executed. The bread was fresh and clearly baked by a baker who knew what they were doing. The Pastrami, while not on the level of some New York delicatessen options, still was fantastic. I would suggest getting The Max if you come here as it has pretty much everything you could want in a sandwich. Great Rye, exceptional Corned Beef, Turkey, and amazing Slaw. This place is a must wether you're staying in Austin for a day or you've been here for a decade. Simple, delicious, and fair priced. Can't ask for too much more than that.

Best bagels around. Love the lox bagel sandwich. When I eat here I feel like I am back in Manhattan. Wish there was one closer to me so I could eat here every day!

Biederman s is a great little spot serving up fresh bagels and delicious sandwiches.

Always great - best (far west) club sandwich around!

Great Far West deli with "big as your face" sandwiches and great bagels. Try the Reuben or any of the Reuben cousins. Far West club is two meals in one sandwich. Bring your appetite, you won't be disappointed.

I love this place! They have a few tables on the sidewalk so I can eat with my dog or they bring food over to the bar next door so you can have a few drinks and eat once the hunger strikes.

The Biderman's Deli burger is out of this woooooorld! I was so skeptical about this one because I am not a huge fan and a few ingredients didn't sound like my kind of thing.. but I trusted the recommendation from the staff and am now hooked! I order this almost every time I go, love love love :)

Great place to eat in but very slow if you call in an order to go.

Be sure to check your to go order before driving home.

Got there at 1042, ordered a cold sandwich and was told by the cashier they don't serve sandwiches till 11. Hey, Biderman! If you're going to have time restrictions on your food maybe put it on your website! Disappointed I was turned away, first time there and won't be back.

Solid sandwich all around. I really want to try the burger. Looks great.

True deli style sandwiches. So thick you can hardly fit them in your mouth!

ALWAYS A PROBLEM AT THIS LOCATION
Either order never started or you wait 30 minutes
Besides never even haven even started my order other customers have waited 30 minutes and are asking fir refunds
The manager should be fired they have 58 employees running around w their heads chopped off and they are not even that busy

Out of 6 times I ve come to pick up food only once was there not a problem

Potato pesto sandwich is the best. Super friendly staff. Sparkling water on tap

Very good bagel with lox and very good Ruben sandwich, however I was very upset with the noodle kugel. The kugel was plain tasting and cold, not how how a noodle kugel should be.

This deli is the real deal!

I ordered the Jewish Italian and it was spectacular. The meat was freshly sliced, the bread was lightly toasted, and all of the veggies and condiments were fresh.

10 out of 10 would recommend to all of my friends.

Great pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. Would like a little more flavor in the egg salad sandwich but it was a nice large portion. Definitely going back again.

Just got a legit fix of lox con bagel at the spanking new Westlake location. 5 stars of mmmm-mmmm goodness.

Everything I've ordered has always been fresh and delicious! My favorite is the lox with chive cream cheese on a garlic bagel.

Super nice staff and delicious breakfast and lunch options! I was first introduced to Biderman s by my dad who loved the apple sandwich. I tried it and was hooked as well!! Then I came back and tried the bagels, which are also amazing!! And each time I visit, everyone who works there is always so sweet!!

Lovely sandwich and soup. I had their pesto potato sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup. They were very good and didn't have any overpowering flavors, a good balance if you will.

Some of the best bagels in town and great deli sandwiches.

Everything I've tried is SO GOOD. patty melt (I always get a side of the au jus), bacon/egg/cheddar on jalapeno cheddar bagel, the PINK DRINK is my favorite & this is 1 of the ONLY places that have it. Can't wait to work through the menu

Yummy Bagels and great chicken salad. A little expensive, but Aleays a nice time. Only suggestion would be making the order line one way traffic, or just making it easier to exit as it gets crowded quick!

Great bagels! I'm from the east coast and have been looking for a good bagel place in Austin. I got a simple bagel with cream cheese and it was very good! I met some girlfriend's there for an early lunch and upon arrival, the place was pretty empty, but when we left, there was not one open seat left.

Very very good -- especially for Austin. Since I've lived in the NE, and frequented Manhattan, and also Houston, I knew they were KING in my book. I mean really. Lots of variety, and massively huge sandwiches that cost $20 a piece. But. You get what you pay for. I absolutely hate when someone makes a decision on price alone. There is more to consider like Quality, Presentation, Taste, etc. Just look at the quantity of MEAT you get. It costs the business money as it would for you too if you were buying the meat by weight. These guys have probably the best sandwiches in Austin, since Katz closed its doors. I'm glad they're here, since I can't make it Houston or Manhattan every day. :-)

Been craving some lox in my life for a while. It was fantastic, but I should have opted for the deluxe to get the capers and all. That was on me tho. Extremly prompt seevice despite a decently long ordering line. I must come back to try the sandwiches, I have no doubt they will be excellent.

Austin's most delicious sandwiches (I had the pastrami with coleslaw and roast beef). Both were incredible and the portions were massive. Can't wait to go back

I'm from NY and this place reminds me of home. Super fast and efficient service. Food was excellent. The Ruben is one of the best I've had in Austin, the beef was sliced perfectly.

The Biderman Club sandwich was huge and delicious! I'd eat there all the time if I lived near Far West.

Had chicken noodle soup $7.95 absolutely the worst Luby's is better and a lot cheaper place is very overpriced.

Lively place at lunchtime! Friendly staff. Food very good so far (just one visit).

Update: changed rating from 5 to 4 stars after having visited several times. Staff are still quite friendly, but a pattern seems to be that the food contains more oil than is useful, IMO.

Our new favorite place. Sandwiches are big enough to share. Latkes are on point.

Nice place. I had a nice person take my order, but very kind, even offered a cup for water. Good food, though wish they had more hot offers or a later breakfast. Stayed hot until I made it home, with melty gooey cheesy goodness!

Love the breakfast omelette plates here, especially the salami. Omelette, bagel, and latke all one plate - can't go wrong.

Incredible sandwiches. House made corned beef and rye.

Delicious, definitely worth the drive from pflugerville.

Atmosphere: Busy local bagel and sandwich shop

Service: Quick counter service

Food: The turkey havarti sammich was good, with tasty turkey and cheese on ciabatta. Unfortunately, they forgot the avocado I ordered. The chopped iceberg lettuce could be upgraded. Strangely, I was told they don't offer the sandwiches on bagels?

I did try a sesame bagel, which was nice and chewy with perhaps an overabundance of sesame seeds.

Pricing: Moderate

I love this place. Great east coast style bagel.
The service is always good and friendly.

This was a nice discovery. The bread was homemade and fresh. We will go again.

Holy cow, the bagels were so good. The Cleveland sandwich will haunt us. The latkes were good too.

The folks here don t seem to care about excellent customer service. Decent customer service is all they re aiming for. I won t be spending anymore money in this place no matter how good the food is.

Austin has plenty of other eateries that are just as good if not better and the service is so much better. I recommend better training for the manager and for the employees. They just don t seem to make the service the same quality experience as the food.That just made me lose my appetite altogether.

Excellent quality traditional NY style Jewish deli. Slightly on the pricey side, but good. Try the deviled eggs!

Terrific staff, excellent Rueben, seating outside so safe. Cheesecake tasted authentic NY. Thanks Biderman!

Charming New York style deli in the heart of Austin! Great variety of bagels and shmears, and the lox deluxe bagel is an absolute treat. The coffee is also delicious!

They did a great job with this. Having lived in NYC and L.A. I longed for a Jewish deli where I can reliably go for a great Reuben or pastrami sandwich. The bread is on point as are the meats. One of my favorite menu items is Calvin's salad which isn't exactly Jewish but it's fresh, delicious and feels healthy.

They also have a killer cold brew coffee on tap, genuinely one of the best cold brews I've had anywhere.

So though not strictly Jewish it has the classics and blends them with modern items for something really special.

Finally the atmosphere is great, can tell there where lots of us looking for something like this and the fact that the execution was done well it lends itself to a great energy.

Planning on bringing friends through to here.

Still in soft-open, the rueben sandwich is the best I've had in Austin. I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.

Great quality in the turkey and the Swiss cheese was awesome great place to have a sub little pricy but you get what you pay for here huge subs get the turkey and Swiss with salami avocado and add Dijon mustard their drink selection is boss too good soft drinks none of that cola or Pepsi bs would have took a pic of the food but i was so hungry

My wife and I moved from New York to Austin, and we have been searching for an authentic Jewish tasting deli. Well, all I can say is that Biderman's Deli surpassed my expectations. The food is as good as any Jewish Deli in New York, including the famous Katz in Brooklyn. The service is quick and friendly, the deli is emaculate, and there is sufficient parking at all hours of the day. A can't miss!

I love me some sandwiches and I love me Biderman's. The pastries and drinks are also great, particularly the blueberry soda and the chocolate chip cookies. Service is pretty quick and parking is easy. Great place for lunch.

Great Jewish deli that is a great spot to start off your morning. I always order the corned beef, egg, and cheese for $5.95, and it is an incredibly great deal for such a filling meal.

Best bagel shop/deli I've been to in Texas. East coast style. 5/5.
