"What an unflavorful unsatisfying overpriced burger. How do you not season the patty? Two tiny pieces of brisket. Overcooked too. Only plus was xtra curly fries (they were soggy lol)"

"We had a great sandwich and cookies. They have a large menu that we are looking forward to sampling in the future. The owner supports local artists. November 2023 there is a photography show on one wall"

"Stopped by for a quick bite after a showing with my client down the street. Settled on The Real Deal after perusing the incredible selection of cuisine offered on Center St. I figured a sandwich would allow me to eat and travel to my next appointment, I was wrong. I ordered The Executive; a simple yet dignified pastrami sandwich, with a bag of chips and a Dr.Pepper. Service was prompt and delightful. I settled into my car - ready to roll. Yet upon my first bite, I became enthralled. How could a meal so undemanding, be this delicious?! I devoted myself to the first half and tucked the second away, delusional in thinking I would save it for later and make it on time for my appointment. Wrong, again. It was gone before I reached Back Bay and I have thought about it everyday since."

"I don't think anyone there has ever eaten a vegetable. Raw unseasoned veggies thrown on a pizza . Just don't have vegetables if you hate them. Veggie sandwich equally as disappointing. French fries are fine"

"BBQ night !!! It's Thursday and oh my God did they bring a slice of Heaven to JP. The owner has a smoker and a gift. I got " FATTY" brisket which is just soooo difficult to get ........ it's e they're too lean or to greasy. This craftsman did it just right. The max and cheese so interesting with super long noodles & brown buttered SWEET mashed was original and amazing ....."
