Bitterman's Deli Review

Sandwiches were great. The staff was friendly and helpful!

Awesome birthday meal. House Reuben with Pastrami Instead of corned beef was sublime! Bagels were excellent! Lorenzo was very helpful!!

Delicious traditional sandwiches on Easy Tiger bread

Love this place! Always great food and service when I would come here. Everything is made fresh and the place is very clean and well maintained. All of the staff are super friendly and down to earth. Finding parking can sometimes be a hassle but it's kind of expected given the area. Definitely would go back if I'm ever in the area.

Great chicken noodle soup, corned beef sandwiches and potato latkes. I'm from the NY metro area and one of my requirements for a deli is Dr Brown's soda. Check!

We had heard about it but had never been - when we walked in we didn't realize they were about to close, but the staff was friendly and helpful with whatever wer wanted anyway. The macaroni salad was tasty, and we got a chicken salad sandwich that was delicious.

Best food west of austin with great service and enthusiastic employees!!!

I was craving a great Rueben and what I found was an excellent Rueben at Biderman's Deli. My goodness I've never tasted a Rueben as delicious as this! The bread was buttery, the sauerkraut didn't over power the sandwich (but it was definitely present), the meat was tender and super tasty and the sauce....! It all worked tremendously well. I can't wait to have it again and again and again and again..........

Best sweet potato fries I've had. Sandwiches are huge, but you can order a half.

Great food and I love that there is still very easy curbside during Covid!

My boyfriend and I had a craving for some good deli sandwiches and this place delivered! My boyfriend had the pastrami which was juicy and stacked with lots of meat. I had the egg salad sandwich and it was fresh and filling. Definitely recommend this place if you like getting plenty of food for a fair price.

I love this place. Sandwiches are HUGE and very good. Service is quick and super friendly. I need one down south.

Easily one of my fave spots to eat in Austin! I'm lucky enough to live down the road so I'm never to far to grab one of their famous deli sandwiches on fresh baked bread! Their bagels and spreads are def the reason parking's hard to find on weekend mornings too. Even if you can't grab a meal, be sure to try their homemade cheesecake if you can! You will not be disappointed!

I always try something new every time I come by and I ve got to say... I LOVE IT HERE SO MUCH. Every single person that helps me is so so sweet, my new fave neighborhood spot

Finally! A real Jewish deli in Austin! Great Ruben and deviled eggs, can't wait to try more. And wonderful service too.

I give it an all around 5 for clean facility, super friendly staff and vibe and yes the food! I had the Clevelander. All ingredients on sandwich were fresh, assembled well and delish. It was worth the dollar spent.

If you are looking for a deli with an excellent food selection, you have to try Biderman's deli! We stopped in for lunch and I tried the veggie sandwich with roasted sweet potatoes (yum!). Of course you can't leave without sampling the classic cheesecake! I can't wait to go back and try the lox and bagels that they are know for!

Fantastic food. Their lox bagel sandwiches and corned beef on rye are very good, not to mention their pickle spears! Still so much to try from Biderman s, but so far I love it!

Staff did not welcome to location. Food was promptly prepared and bread choce change request honored without hesitation. Sandwich was a classic NY deli style sandwich. Will be on my return list.

Great food. Great location. Fresh and good selection. Friendly service. Would be a place I would open if I owned a restaurant. Make sure to read the old newspaper articles on the wall as you go in.

I had a fantastic Reuben sandwich that fed me for 2 days. The food is homemade and fresh and fast. Good job.

I like it very much. They have what I call "keep Austin weird" sandwiches. There is one that I believe is called the Austin Smear that has sweet potatoes in it. I never would have thought of it, but it is very good. Give it a try. I tried their soups and I appreciate that not only are they good, but they are served in a take-home container making it very easy, if you don't finish it to just put the lid on and take it home. It also helps keeps the soup hot. I am really looking forward to the cases that are beginning to take shape I assume it is for take-home. For those of you who remember The Kitchen Door, it looks to me as though they are going to bring back some of the best parts of it.

Pastrami s sliced so thin that it melts in your mouth. We knocked down pastrami, corned beef & Ruben sandwiches...actually taking some home for later. Great staff, amazing food & a comfortable neighborhood vibe. Coming back

HUGE sandwiches that seem overpriced until you realize that two people can share one sandwich and be full. Felt like I was in NYC.

The best bagel I've found in Austin. Chewy inside with a crusty outside.

First time and they re not only out of ALL begals but to switch it to regular bread instead they wanted to add $4 on per item! Oh and they d bring you the ingredients for your sandwich and you d put it together at the table!!! Absolutely ridiculous. Our family of 5 walked out after being told regular lox and cream cheese w/out the begal would be $13

Lived in NY and Boca but apparently Austin only Jewish deli has the worst options

Best Deli in Austin, best Reuben I've ever tasted for sure. Had high expectations going to Biderman's for the first time, and they beat them by a mile, both in food and service. A must-try in Austin!

Best breakfast bagel sandwich around. A little pricey, but well worth it on a Saturday morning after a long week.

I had their House Rueben sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I ever ate. I havent tried any of their other food but I can 11/10 recommend the House Rueben.

As someone who was born and raised in NYC, deli is something I always took for granted. Until I moved to Upstate NY and realized that great deli is NOT that easy to find.

I was thrilled to hear about this place and recently stopped in to try a corned beef sandwich on rye bread. The very nice and helpful young lady at the counter assured me they made both the meat and bread in-house, which was quite surprising.

Unfortunately I made the mistake of ordering 2 sandwiches for 2 people. I'm not a huge eater and neither was my companion. So we have more than half a sandwich, each, to eat later.

The corned beef was a drop on the fatty side, but very tender and tasty. The thick rye bread was great too. Crispy crust and nice taste too. The pickle was excellent as well.

Although I haven't tried anything else there, the attitude of the staff (the young man who brought our sandwiches out, was quite proud and interested in my feedback), the cleanliness and overall vibe of the place ensures that I will definitely be back again. Soon.

Authentic and genuine Jewish deli. Excellent place for bagels and sandwiches. Awesome spot for breakfast or lunch meetings! Sandwich special is always a winner.

RUDE!!! The staff was horrible at the far west location. Disrespectful and could not answer even a simple question or be bothered to assist someone who was looking to get lunch for elderly disabled people. Try some kindness why don you!

The Clevelander sandwich was excellent. The restaurant is in a soft opening phase.

The best bagel I've found in Austin. Chewy inside with a crusty outside.

I have been looking for a deli like this for a while and was very pleased to find this delicious place!

To echo what some others have said here, the sandwiches are massive. The price tag for a sandwich is perfectly justified if you're considering that you're really getting two of them at the same time.

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

The crew was nice and friendly. This was my first time visiting. The Corn Beef was good, the sandwich was full of meat. I had the most amazing Lemon Lime soda.

Absolutely fantastic deli! Nice people and sandwiches FILLED with everything delicious. I also love the matzo ball soup and pasta salads. It's always clean in here, too. A great place for lunch in a good location between north and south

If you like a Jewish deli, you'll like this one. Big, fresh sandwiches at a good price.

One of the only truly authentic New York style places to get a bagel in Austin. I haven't lived here long, so I can say that with limited confidence.

That apple and goat cheese sandwich is probably my favorite sandwich in Austin

The staff were great, and the facility was immaculate. However the food was not great. The deviled eggs had so much celery seed they were actually bitter and sour, not what I expected at all. The banana bread had very little banana or banana flavor, was over mixed so it was hard as a rock and rather dry, though it was moist compared to the zucchini bread, which was dry and flavorless. The coffee was fair. HOWEVER. the lox supreme bagel sandwich was quite good. We were there for breakfast so the other options were not available yet (soup and sandwiched) perhaps based on the bagel sandwich those are better, but we haven't tried them as of yet.

Delicious food, as far as I can tell it's all scratch-made. Very efficient service, a busy , lively place. They are getting a huge amount of things right at Biderman's. It costs more than you'd want but there is nothing but quality. Everything in the deli case looks outstanding. I take friends here all the time.

Good Sammich!!! But OMIGosh that pickle, best I've had in a while.

Great experience for us! I ordered the Jewish Italian sandwich and my significant other had the Loks and Cheese bagel. The sandwich was wonderful with plenty of cold-cuts and really had that quality Jewish deli flavor. The Loks were even better, with capers and cream cheese. It's worth the drive. Cheers and happy eating!

Staff did not welcome to location. Food was promptly prepared and bread choce change request honored without hesitation. Sandwich was a classic NY deli style sandwich. Will be on my return list.

Tried the Clevelander and it was great. Definitely one of the better pastrami sandwiches I've had around town.

The food here is delicious, I only wish they were open later. But I understand with the location it isn't a viable option.

So glad to have a place that I can finally get bowl of delicious matzoh ball soup. I also really like their bagels. My kids love the meal options for them, and the baked goods are fantastic too. I'm sure lots of other things are fabulous as well since the place is always packed. Friendly staff, convenient location! A real win for Austin!

I recommend the unfortunately named "hot meat" sandwich with tuna. It's just a tuna melt. But a very good one.

This was my first time to Bidermans. I order the pastrami sandwich. It was piled high with thicker cut pastrami which I like more thank thin slices. I also added the liver to the sandwich, which added a nice flavor. I wish the bread was toasted. It would have add a crunch/texture and would have held the sandwich together better. I'll know to ask next time. As it was the bread crumbled and fell apart. Also some spicy stone ground mustard, would have added a nice flavor. I'll be sure to ask for that next time.

Finding this place was some kind of miracle; and it payed off when I went! The environment was so friendly, the employees were having a great morning, and the food is magical. Impeccably clean too! Can't wait to go back again.

This is by far the best sandwich and bagel place in Austin in my opinion. I ve been coming here consistently and often for the last year and a half and I m never disappointed with the quality of the food or the standard of service. The Cleveland sandwich here is completely unique and very filling, I highly recommend trying it. The bagels are outstanding (the nova deluxe is amazing) but they do have a limit on how many you can take to go. The coffee is exceptional and they offer free refills! The staff here are efficient, polite and hardworking. It is always a pleasure to eat here.

Fantastic local cafe with Jewish-inspired items on the menu. Highly recommend the cheesecake, sandwiches, and bagels (so pretty much everything they offer). The potato salad is the bomb, too. A warning that the coffee is often strong and bitter - especially if you visit later in the morning or day. That might just be my personal taste, however. The staff is kind and friendly - they always remember us and our dog, and are quick to ask how we're doing! Highly recommend this fantastic place.

Great place for Breakfast or Lunch.
My last trip there I had the French Dip sandwich and it was AMAZING! The Far West Club is awesome as well but too big for me to eat in one setting, ususally half it with a soup. Too many great options to list.

Biderman's never disappoints! They allow ordering online, over the phone, or in person with a mask. You provide the car make and model to the cashier and they bring the food to you in your car!

Wonderful social distancing experience, will continue to support this amazing, local, deli!

Excellent sandwiches and bagels, and really great service.

By far the best deli in Austin. The Ruben is so good and the club will feed 3 people. Their salads are also wonderful. Just point and pick and your palate will thank you.

Best Reuben in town. Get the house Reuben with pastrami.

SUPA BIG SAMICHES
Very delicious, you could probably share a whole sandwich with a friend :)

Great chicken noodle soup, corned beef sandwiches and potato latkes. I'm from the NY metro area and one of my requirements for a deli is Dr Brown's soda. Check!

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.

Bagel was pretty good not over price pretty tasty. The help was very friendly and helpful, especially the new girl who appeared just started and she was cute and doing the best. Bagel was decent, not as good as wholy Bagel down south, but they're down south.

Bad customer service. I just wanted a hot sandwich (meat, lettuce, tomato, mustard). I looked at their menu and saw "hot sandwiches" with "grilled meat and cheese" under it. I asked for that but no cheese, and for the meat, I wanted 1/2 turkey, 1/2 ham. First thing: they can't do 1/2 turkey, 1/2 ham. Really??? Okay; just turkey then. So then I asked to make sure I'd get the normal lettuce, tomato, etc on the sandwich. A girl who seemed to be the manager comes up and tells me they can't put lettuce and tomato on a "melt." I'd have to get the turkey muenster sandwich with no cheese and request toasted. Okay, fine. I want that. No light mayo on the menu (darn), so had to do dijon mustard (which is REALLY REALLY strong it turns out). As I'm sitting there waiting for the sandwich to come out I check with the staff to make sure they put it in as toasted; they hadn't and had to go tell the kitchen. Then when I get back to my office and pull the sandwich out, it's not really toasted. The bread looks like it was toasted then cooled down. The meat and everything else is refrigerator-cold. :( Just wanted a hot turkey/ham sandwich with lettuce and tomato. Why was this so hard?

Quality service and fantastic food! Brooke was our cashier. She put together our entire menu after I told her we'd never been to Biderman's before and wanted to try some of everything. We got the Clevelander (pastrami, my favorite) and the Reuben (husband's favorite) for sandwiches. Both were excellent. Brooke suggested the cinnamon raisin bagel with nutella peanut butter schmear (surprisingly not too sweet), the onion bagel with chive schmear (my favorite, rich and creamy), and the egg everything bagel with vegetable schmear (husband's favorite). All in all, a great experience made even more fun by having a knowledgeable cashier who put together this spread of food for us to try. Will definitely be back!

Love their food, hate the app. Again it sent my order to the wrong location

I am a Jew who grew up in NY and spent almost 23 years of my life there, so don't tell me about how these are 'the best NY bagels in Austin'. They are OK bagels if you happen to be in North Austin and want a bagel. There is no reason to drive more than a few miles for these. There is no salt on the everything bagel, so I rest my case about how 'New York' these are (they aren't)

Their sandwiches are GREAT. But the bread can be a bit flimsy. I wish it was either thicker or toasted. Their coffee is delicious and the service is good.

Excellent: House Reuben, Bagel with Shmear
Great: The Clevelander, Peanut Butter Cookie
Okay: Black and White Cookie
9/10
