Abe's Delicatessen

My first vist to this establishment and now one of my favorites in all of NEPA! Started with a cup of Matzo ball soup. Perfect flavor! I had an amazing NY style Pastrami Reubin. Portion size for the sandwich rivals all others. The homemade pickles had a perfect blend of flavor and crunch. My wife had the Mediterranean sampler- again, the flavors and freshness were beyond compare. Service was prompt and very pleasant.

I absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was super good, and the workers were very kind and helpful! The pastrami I got was delicious and fulfilling! I would definitely recommend going here!

Great place! Notice they close at 16:00.. we arrived 20 minutes before, and couldn’t sit, and the grill was closed😓 But we still think this place is awesome! We went to a park nearby and enjoyed the food a lot!

Abe's is a kosher deli. The food was top notch. I had the pastrami on rye, the sandwich was perfect. The pastrami tasted yummy and the rye bread was fresh and lightly toasted. We also try the knish, which was also very good. We left there full and pleasantly delighted. It was so good we planning our next trip to Abe's.

Great Jewish Delicatessen. Love the Tuna Melts and potato pancakes with apple sauce. I have had many selections and all the food is made fresh. Excellent dishes

This is real deal Kosher deli food. Take is from a guy who has been to delis all over New York City. The Matzo ball soup us great and so is the pastrami. If it has formica countertops and Dr. Brown's Celery Soda. You know it is legit. You feel as if you are going back in time here. Helping preserve this food for future generations.

Food was next level! The Rueben was the best I've ever had. Bread was perfectly toasted. Potato pancakes were great, Mac salad amazing. Service was great too. 5/5, no notes. Will definitely be back!

Great pitstop! On our way down from Toronto, we stopped by Scranton naturally because of The Office. A quick google search revealed this little spot in town. Great customer service and great food. I ordered the pastrami sandwich and was actually given a different sandwich which I’m glad I got. I’m not exactly sure what it was because it didn’t have cheese so I don’t think it was a Reuben. But delicious nonetheless. Would love to stop by here on my next trip down south.

The real thing. Local favorite. Generous portions. Friendly service. Definitely stop in if you like a good Jewish deli.

Wow! While in Scranton on business, the I visited Abe's Kosher Delicatessen & Restaurant for lunch. This downtown Electric City eatery has a NYC vibe, complete with somewhat unfriendly staff - not a smile to be had. So why the wow? Their Reuben made with a mix of corned beef and pastrami, NY style (10oz) may very well have been the best reuben I've eaten. The rye bread was perfectly toasted, moist and not dry. The meat was incredibly flavorful and tender, and the sauerkraut was plentiful, with the perfect balance of tang and flavor. It was an easy 10 out of 10. If you don't care about friendly service, but are looking for an awesome sandwich in Scranton, this place is for you.

Wonderful breakfast. The servers were very pleasant and accommodating. A previous reviewer said they were rude but that was not our experience.

Service friendly...Rueben was great! Pastrami was big and thick but the Reuben was better!

Great nostalgic and classic delicatessen vibes. Amazing and attentive service with hometown charm. The cornbeef was so pull apart tender and half sour pickles with a nice crunch!

Legit Jewish deli in Scranton. They have pastries as well. First come first served and usually busy

Reuben is worth the money and street parking. Nice place, friendly and clean. Quality meats that have great flavor.

We noticed that this place is highly rated so we picked up sandwiches on our way to ski at Montage. The service was friendly and speedy. My husband ordered a Smokey turkey sandwich on rye and I ordered the most popular everything bagel sandwich with smoked salmon, capers and lto. The sandwiches were very good but we would make adjustments when ordering again. The turkey sandwich needed a deli mustard and the everything bagel had caraway seeds which overpowered the sandwich. I wanted a salt bagel but the deli does not make them. Overall we were quite happy with our and look forward to our next sandwich.

Thanks to my fellow Yelpers I was able to find an authentic Jewish deli on my way to NYC in Scranton Pa, our midpoint. We stopped for lunch. There is street parking near this more than one hundred year old business. Step back in time, take a seat and wait to be amazed both by the food and the wait staff. There are plenty of old favorites like corned beef and Rueben sandwiches (they are huge!), knishes, smoked whitefish matzo ball soup and pastrami (are you hungry yet?!) and also middle eastern delights. Since I am a sucker for Middle Eastern food, I ordered the Middle Eastern sampler, which given its price was less food than the Middle Eastern platter. It was enough food for an entire day. Of course, I had to eat it all and could barely eat dinner that night. I had a choice of two salads, and selected the chick pea and the quinoa, both with enormous portions. This was served with baba ghanoush, hummus and very fluffy and delicious pita bread. My husband just had to try the potato pancakes in addition to his Vegetarian Platter, and we were served three pancakes the size of my head so I felt obligated to eat one. Perfect! The food was great and our waitress was very helpful, explaining the various tributes to The Office around town after we inquired. On our way in, we passed by Dunder and Mifflin streets! The restaurant most likely has not changed since it opened in 1908. Scranton is lucky to have such a great place!

Abe's is simply the best for true deli sandwiches! Never disappointed since I began to go to Abe's in 1973. We were neighbors doing business downtown! Still the best

The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the place was cozy but had plenty of seating.

Had a good corned beef sandwich with a Dr Brown Black Cherry Excellent service and food.

I have been looking forever for a New York kosher deli style corned beef sandwich. Finally I found one so very similar. The large corned beef is spot on. I highly recommend. Great menu of kosher deli style foods

I ordered a burger with fries and it was phenomenal. Cooked to perfection. The young lady who took my order was very pleasing to speak to and the service was like 5 stars without the pish posh bs . The first thing to stick out to me when I entered the deli was how clean and fresh it felt walking in.

Restaurant Review time... this one in Scranton, PA. This is a kosher deli called Abe's. #abesdelicatessen and is a quaint little shop with tables on one side and a counter on the other. Reasonably priced for the high quality ingredients! Here's the corned beef with mustard on rye and the vegetarian sampler with falafel! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. Thanks! And Shalom ;-) #gourmetrecovery

Service is awesome. Joy is a joy. food is amazing. Always happy there. Great time with friends.

Great little deli in downtown Scranton. Service is very friendly. They are attentive, but not annoyingly so! Lots of regulars come here. Be careful of street parking as it is metered, but the meters are only every so often. We weren't familiar with this meter method, and thought street parking was free--this was corrected by a $35 parking ticket! Yikes! Hubby had one of their triple decker sandwiches. It was served with coleslaw that had thousand island dressing on top. That was a new way of serving coleslaw to us. Ask for the mustard for your sandwich. I had the middle eastern sampler. Served with the fluffiest pita I've ever had. Both meals were very tasty.

Delicious Deli!!!! I was in the area for work, so I popped in here based on previous reviews. Well I am glad I did. I started with a cup of matzah ball soup, delicious! Then I had the Turkey Pastrami Reuben, and it was FANTASTIC! Jam packed with thinly sliced/shaved meat, and the rye was toasted perfectly. The experience was even better because the staff were super friendly. If I am in the area again, I will definitely visit again!

They kindly accommodated my off-hour request for a warm corned beef sandwich at breakfast. The bread was fresh and the meat tasty. If we lived nearby I'd definitely return to sample their latkes. A happy find in walking distance of the old converted train station, turned hotel.

Great service, great food great attitude. I love this place.. Hot pastrami on rye is outstanding and bagel and lox is unbelievably good . Dr. Brown cell Ray soda. It's all I good.

Stopped here on our road trip- wanted a nice regular place and this place is that. Filled with regulars and really nice efficient service. The fries with gravy were a huge hit ( we don't eat that in NY) and the pastrami Reuben's were amazing. My son enjoyed his corned beef Reuben and commented that he learned cheese was not necessary for a good Reuben. I had the "rare roast beef" sandwich and honestly would've expected it rarer and more thinly sliced so wasn't overly thrilled with it. But the rye bread was soft and delicious and I bought a loaf to go, as well as bagels because I doubt we'll get good bagels in TN! Great place, highly recommend.

What a treasure! We stopped in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. Had yummy bagels and lox, and an order of blintzes for good measure. Everything was made to order and absolutely delicious. The coffee and tea are standard diner style, nothing fancy, but you can stop at Northern Lights if you want a cappuccino or loose-leaf tea. Extra-friendly service, too. We really enjoyed our visit to Abe's.

I'm obsessed with it here! Options for all diets and everything is DELICIOUS. The vibe of the place is perfect and it's in a great location. Every single person working for this business is so kind and attentive. I would bring anyone here :)

Ok 10oz pastrami sandwich, but nothing special. Just sliced meat on bread with brown mustard, although I requested no mustard. Extremely expensive for what it was...$18. Came with homemade pickles that were downright disgusting with a strong chemical flavor.

Spectacular! I love everything about it. Food , service , ambiance , it's all top shelf and they have all the things my grandma used to make

Service is amazing, food is amazing, location is great, cleanliness is spot on. I eat here at least once a week!

I had the best Reuben sandwich ever at Abe's. The next time I go traveling across the country, I'll be stopping by Abe's.

Kosher in Scranton? Deserves your support as an area tribe member. Vacationing in Gouldsboro at Big Bass Lake. Went earlier this week. But ate at Abe's with my parents about 50 years ago. Different owner, not really kosher, but Jew food of good quality.

We had a delicious meal with matzah ball soup and a corned beef sandwich. The staff was friendly.

Stopped in here randomly after Yelping out a place to eat in Scranton whilst visiting Steamtown. It was a short walk (±20min) thru DT Scranton to get here from Steamtown and we're always down to get our steps. Unassuming little place run by a friendly man (Abe?) who we actually met while paying the check. The décor is what one would expect to find at a typical diner and the waitresses themselves seemed shipped straight from the Big Apple itself―sans the attitude. When at a NY-style deli ordering a Reuben ($9/6oz) is a must. And what's a Reuben without a knish ($2.5) on the side? The Reuben was quite spectacular. It wasn't piled high like one might see at Katz's, but the sandwich as a whole was simply glorious. The star of the show, as it should be, was the juicy, well-flavored house-made pastrami. It was easily one of the best sandwiches I'd had in a long while. The knish was served with a schprtiz of deli mustard (ofc) and it was fried-up perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and gooey in the middle. Overall, great experience. Fantastic food, great prices and terrific service makes this a good choice to grab a bite when visiting Scranton.

We dropped in for a quick lunch after a morning of hiking in the area this past summer. Seating both indoors and outdoors (due to COVID) and wasn't too busy. Our waitress was friendly and the service was good. Now onto what we ordered... For 2 of us, we split the following: NY Style 10oz Pastrami and Corned beef on Rye w/ mustard and side of cole slaw and pickles - This was excellent. The pastrami and corned beef were the star, absolutely delicious and complemented well by the mustard and rye. Cole slaw was above average, not overly tangy and a good side for the dish. Pickles weren't for me (nothing wrong with them but just not my style). Potato pancakes - These were nicely crispy on the outside with a soft interior. Of course I had to pair it with the sour cream it came with. I think the pancakes could have used an extra sprinkle or two of salt but otherwise very solid. We took home some knishes and macaroni salad to-go as well, and both were quite good (I'm partial to mac salad so I'd give that my vote among the those two takeout items). Overall, we had a pleasant lunch at Abe's and would come back again if we were in the area.

The food was delicious and I really enjoyed their special. The service was good and I liked the outdoor seating.

They make a great pastrami sandwich and pickles we will return. Very friendly staff.

Delicious lunch at 130 pm on a work day. Server was wonderful and very peppy! Sandwiches are delicious. We got the 6 oz size. Hot corned beef - fantastic. Most popular pastrami and corned beef sandwich - served hot- was terrific. Finger licking good. We got an order of the potato pancakes and they were great. Make sure to eat the pickles and cole slaw. Gosh those pickles are good. We took some home. And you never go wrong with a Dr. Brown's soda. Just delicious! Two happy thumbs up!

Very tasty food in somewhat small portions. Small bowls for the chicken soup which contained only broth (very good broth) and what looked like Lipton pkg soup noodles. The rye bread for the sandwiches was on the small side and so was the portion of potato salad. When I spend over $42 (including tip) for lunch for two and walk away still a bit hungry something ain't right.

Very good food and nice serving size. Good service and clean place. Centrally located in downtown Scranton plenty full parking available.

Open brisket with gravy fries =awesome Potato pancakes are on point too Super friendly wait staff

Very nice place great food and great service. Family ran we will come back when in town

Not quite up to the standard of other Jewish delis that I have frequented in NYC and the NJ metropolitan area. Corned beef was a bit dry. Good portion on the sandwich. Service was excellent.

Awesome matzah ball soup. The pastrami sandwich was huge and delicious. Service was excellent and The half sour pickles were the best I had in a long time. The hummus and pitas were very tasty

We had an absolutely amazing experience after YELP pointed us to this place. Outdoor seating is available and they are up-to-date on all their infection control techniques. The staff is super friendly and every person that walked by us outside was super kind and pet the dog! The menu was expansive & easy to read. The staff was attentive and super friendly. Prices were as exactly they should be. It was sweet to see at least two guests walk up and have the staff know them by name and their orders. Shows a lot of longevity and loyalty to their guests. Ketchup packets were used instead of bottles and the door was open for easy in and out access. I have never had beef bacon before, but kosher means no pork, so beef baking it was! And it was absolutely delicious! It actually tasted like cured prosciutto! And it satisfied my bacon craving (don't get me wrong though, bacon is bacon, end of story). But respectfully, when a Kosher Jewish delicatessen, beef bacon it is. I got a garden vegetable omelette and it was made with carrots as one of the ingredients! I've never had carrots in an omelette before but was actually delicious. I asked for fruit on the side and it came out with sliced and peeled oranges and sliced apples. My friend got the smoked salmon omelette and loved it. If we're ever in this part of town again, we're stopping by!

Abe's the best grilled hotdogs anywhere. Where else can I get a grilled Knish and a hotdog? The soups wonderful as are the salads. It ain't cheap, but you get what you pay for. They also have great breakfast.

Best Deli around- lots of food, prices are great. Waitstaff are also gregarious; we stop by whenever we come to Scranton. Personally, don't care about ambiance but Abe's is traditional deli which it does quite well.

First, I'm a big fan of Deli foods and Abe's in Scranton, PA is the place for it. My understanding is this little family-owned restaurant has been in downtown Scranton since the 1930's. This is my go to place when I'm in town. It's a cozy little seat yourself cafe style atmosphere with a great, loyal, & diverse clientele. The owners and staff are friendly and attentive, but be patient because they are super busy. Everything I've had to eat here is amazing. The corned beef hash and eggs breakfast. The lox and bagel (which I had this morning). Everything is great. They also have gluten-free options for those who have allergies. If you're headed to Scranton, be sure to go to Abe's

our fav place in Scranton. The menu is varied and there's something for everyone. my girl is vegetarian, and always has options. I love meat and breakfast food so this is a goto place!

An amazing gem in Scranton! Definitely more than just a deli, everything was delicious, fresh and friendly. Definitely worth going to 5 days in a row...like we did!

Ordered food from the deli last minute, to be delivered as a Shiva gift. Family was completely satisfied with the freshness of food delivered last minute. Would definitely recommend this five-star restaurant for any occasion.

Just found the perfect lunch spot! The place is clean, the staff friendly and efficient. And the food? What can I say except the food is absolutely delicious. The quality ingredients is obvious and the preparation is excellent. This is now my regular stop when passing through Scranton PA!

Good service. Great ingredients. Reasonable prices. This is one of my breakfast regular spots.
