Mookie's New York Deli

"Unbelievably expensive for what I got (a corned beef with Swiss on a Kaiser roll). Plus, the corned beef was dried out. We got our order to go, so we didn’t hang out, but the decor is more early 2000’s strip mall….very little character. Overall VERY disappointing!"

"Place has utterly massive sandwiches for the price, and the staff are nice and decently fast, even in a meal rush. Don't come here for a snack, you'll be leaving with a whole meal and then some. Drinks are not free refills, from the looks of it, so try to spread it out over the meal."

"Absolutely delicious open faced turkey and fries. Thick sliced, tender roasted turkey on a slice of sourdough bread covered with gravy an I'm pretty sure it's homemade gravy! The fries were fresh cut, flavorful and went well with the gravy, too. A black and white cookie was scrumptious to end this enjoyable meal!"

"This place was really good. Service was excellent, food was amazing, and the atmosphere was nice. My husband had the petite Reuben with the homemade cut in house French fries. He said they were the best he had ever had. The consistency with the cut and they were cooked to perfection. I had the lunch special which consists of half sandwich and half soup. The vegetable tortilla soup was some of the best I've ever had. Turkey was sliced very thick on the toasted sourdough bread. I prefer thin slices of turkey, but this sandwich was still very good. Go check them out, we will definitely be back."
