Mile End Delicatessen

Mile End is one of our favorite restaurants in Boerum Hill and is always an enjoyable time - strong recommend. The matzo ball soup, corned beef reuben, and smaller noshes (cucumber salad, potato salad) are consistently strong and make for a great lunch. The staff in general are cheerful, helpful, and attentive. We almost always feel very welcome there. I say “almost” because there is one gentleman in the front of house who is inexplicably angry and rude, almost every time we go. One time another server sat us in a booth and he went out of his way to make us get up (the booth was just left empty when we left). Another time we walked in to ask for a table and he angrily told us he had already said there would be a wait (we had literally just walked in the door). I assume he’s an owner since I can’t imagine a business keeping someone this hostile to guests around, but it’s also possible this is somehow part of a quirky charm that is just lost on us. Will always come back. Will bring friends and loved ones. Would definitely recommend avoiding the furious dude with white hair who is determined to treat you like garbage.

Great food, comfortable seating, friendly service. Inside and outside seating. Some dude left a 1 star review recently which is just way off-base. I really love their smoked meat poutine (tender juicy cubes of brisket atop a classic poutine). The brisket sandwich is not that typical bbq style flaky brisket its more of a sliced and grilled thing so just be aware of that going in. I recommend the brisket sandwich and then ask for hot sauce that you can add. I recommend the poutines, any of them are good. They serve beer too.

Ashamed to admit I've never actually stepped foot into the restaurant. Nonetheless, for my two years of ordering delivery, they have always delivered--figuratively and literally. Incredible Montreal Jewish style deli food, for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner (plus few nice desert options). I must have eaten most the things off their menu by now. My orders have always been on time and correct; never had a single complaint. Menu recommendations: the Smoked Meat Sandwich (essential), a regular Poutine (essential), Spicy Schnitzel Sandwich, Lipitorminator, the Chopped Liver, and the Pu Pu Platter (appetizer assortment). P.S. they also have bagels.

We went to the Mile End Delicatessen because of the classics - brisket sandwich and home-made hot dog. And we were more than happy. Mile End Delicatessen has a rich selection of brisket sandwiches from which we tasted the Corned Beef Rueben and the Bubbie's Brisket. Both were juicy and deliciously satisfying. We accompanied them with the home-made fries which were great. The classic hot dog was all we wanted from a hot dog - succulent and tasty. But if you are open for a new way of serving and eating hot dogs, go for the Hoyt Dog - it's a kind of small pastry bites filled with beef frank, and baked in an oven. This creates a nice thin crunchy crust over it. We were perfectly happy with our orders, for which the staff was helping a lot. Also everything was served fast and freshly warm.
