Shapiro's Twisted Traditions

This place has the real stuff! They were out of a couple things, so they gave me an amazing deal. The beef tongue sandwich was right on, and they have real sourdough bread. Solid cup of coffee. The customer service was spectacular, especially Whitney at the register. I guarantee I will be back if my path brings me back to this area of town.

$14 for a Shapiro's sandwich is a VALUE. Most folks can't finish one and enjoy a second meal later in the day. Their famous mac'n'cheese is finished with a fast broil so the brown edges on top are delicious and intentional. Anyone complaining about the price or service is in my opinion passing on bad information, unfamiliar with the rich tradition of Kosher delis and don't understand the quality being served (or perhaps are complaining for the joy of complaining). I have been going to Shapiro's since I was a boy, and I'll continue to go until I die. They are a tradition, a mainstay, and serve the highest quality food from scratch in the city.

As always, I went with the corned beef sandwich. It didn’t disappoint. I did have a cream ale with it. Unfortunately, I forgot the name. I really didn’t like it. Tasted like a PBR from the gas station. I don’t don’t blame Shapiros for that though. Just mentioned it so you can save your money and get something else. My wife had the PLT. She liked it. She also ordered the potato salad. She said that it was over cooked. Oh well.
