Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant is a true icon and a must-visit for anyone who loves classic deli fare. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the history and tradition of this legendary spot, and the warm, welcoming service makes it even better. The highlight of the menu has to be their famous #19 Pastrami Sandwich. It's pure perfection! The juicy, center-cut pastrami is tender, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. Paired with the Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and a perfectly tangy Russian dressing on freshly baked rye bread. The balance of flavors and textures is unmatched-it's no wonder it's celebrated as the best pastrami sandwich in the world! Every bite is a testament to Langer's commitment to quality and tradition. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, the #19 Pastrami Sandwich will keep you coming back for more!
Absolutely amazing food, service and vibe. I got the cream soda which was absolutely the best cream soda I’ve ever had and the number 19. My only note is that I would probably get 1 sandwich between two people and an appetizer, we got 1 sandwich each and both thought it was a lot! But the food was absolutely delicious and worth every bite. The pastrami melted in our mouths.
So SAD how this place and the surrounding area has gone "Down Hill"! It smells of urine as you wait to be seated...not what you want to smell before you eat. The owner and the snarky people that seat you try to seat so they can get the most MONEY that they can get per table. It's not about Customer Service here, it's all about MONEY! GREEDY, GREEDY, GREEDY! The sandwich is so NOT, I repeat, NOT worth the $30.00 :-( The "Famous 19" was just, "Meh!" I have had far better Pastrami Sandwiches! The waiter talks Politics and is grossly misinformed! I thought I was going to be upset when I heard this place was Closing but now I think it will be no great loss!
