Classic glatt-kosher deli with standout pastrami and soups, uneven execution, and automatic service charge; great for traditional cravings, less so for value hawks.
Gottlieb's delivers solid neighborhood deli performance anchored by strong pastrami execution and classic soups, though inconsistent quality across items and visits prevents a higher grade. Friendly, helpful service and authentic old-school atmosphere appeal to kosher and deli enthusiasts, but portion-to-price alignment concerns and variable soup execution limit broader appeal. A reliable heritage spot for those seeking traditional comfort food, not a destination for culinary innovation.
One caveat: Price shock for smaller sandwiches and extras; several guests mention poor value
