The Essen Room

"First time here, was recommended to me. My bf loves Jewish deli and he was loving it!! Pickle Bar! Huge sandwiches and amazing chocolate hamantaschen!!!"

"I love ❤️ this place! Best deli ever! Like the bar Cheers but with humantashen! Owner and staff very friendly! Food and portions are unbelievable! It is very neighborhood friendly and very neighborly place. Will go back as often as possible!"

"Turkey Reuben was piled high. The turkey quality was off the charts, tasty and plentiful. The hot corned beef sandwich was just as good. The potato latka that came with the meal was done to perfection. The homemade soups served in a "swimming pool" was better than grandma's. And you can't forget about the unlimited pickle bar. If you live or are traveling through Baltimore this is a must."

"I ran into a hick-up with one of the clerks taking orders, and I'm intentionally not going into details because I do not believe the interaction I had with that employee was commonplace for this business, and I'm willing to also say it *may* not have been common for that employee, as well. a Because of the wonderful reviews and my craving for a corned beef sandwich with lingering memmories of the best salted beef sandwich I had in London 6.5 years ago (!!), I elected to let the customers behind me get served until I could get assistance from another employee. The next person who worked on my order was friendly, explained the potential reason for the hick-up with the other and apologized. Wow! Off to a fabulous fresh start! Turns out, the gentleman who assisted me the second time was the owner Lou! He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, patient, and had an extremely positive attitude. The food is amazing! I had the corned beef special with the perfectly cooked crispy wedged fries and flavorfull pickles from the pickle bar! Oh and the raisin kugel! Yummy. I also had some small rolled cookies that Lou said were homemade, and they were delicious. The atmosphere is what you would expect for a deli. It was clean, organized in its layout, and welcoming, with no frills. Highly recommend this business - it worked out well in the end!"

"I’m always looking for a good Jewish Deli. Visiting in Baltimore and found Essen Room on Google. What a find! Delicious food and great service. This will definitely be a weekly (or more) stop for as long as I’m in town. Don’t pig (non-kosher) out on the all you can eat pickle bar. You will want to save room for your meal."
