Manny's Deli Stop

Wow oh wow. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! Now this is a Deli!! The staff were awesome for starters. The food was to absolutely die for! I got a late lunch for my contractors and they raved about how good it was. I got the corned beef on rye with fresh coleslaw and it’s probably the BEST I’ve had out of NYC. My contractors got the turkey and roast beef and they were very happy. Huge portions, great prices, fresh, and delicious. This is a MUST! I can’t wait to come back!

Satisfy your pastrami cravings with a real deal, slow cooked, classic Jewish deli style sandwich. I ordered pastrami on rye with coleslaw, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. My son ordered an egg sandwich with pastrami and Cooper Sharp on a challah roll. We were both super satisfied. Let me celebrate the pastrami. It's deserving. This is not the gelatinous water-injected, cooked-in-a-bag grocery store deli meat that most places serve these days. It's real beef brisket--deckle and first cut--cured with garlic, black pepper and coriander. They told me it was cooked in house, and I believe them. The texture was perfect: slices that hold their shape, with melt-in-your-mouth fatty sections, and a tender bite. You can tell it's perfectly cooked because the flesh shreds between your teeth, rather than falling apart into mushy chunks and stringy stands (like it does at most places, because they overcook it). I appreciated that my rye bread was buttered and griddle-toasted, which ensures that it retains its structural integrity, rather than tearing up into crumbs as you try to grip the sandwich firmly enough to get each oversized bite into your mouth. The challah roll was soft, pillowy, and sweet, absorbing the juices and gooey cheese. If I have to be critical, I'd say that all the flavors could be emboldened. The pastrami could be a bit saltier, with stronger pepper and coriander notes. The Russian dressing could be a little sweeter. And the coleslaw could've used a little more vinegar. All the textures were on point, but emphasizing the sweet and sour flavors would help to cut through the insulating beef tallow and bring fireworks to my tongue's taste buds. I plan to visit again soon. Small imperfections don't change the fact that this is the best pastrami sandwich I've had in the Philadelphia area in years (since Famous 4th Street changed ownership). The service was super friendly and the owner chatted with us while we ate. This place is a gem. I hope they grow to multiple locations because it's hard to find anything that even compares. I'll probably try a bagel with lox or whitefish next time I go. But I'm nervous about it. I noticed ACME brand fish in the deli case, which is generally acceptable, but hardly exceptional. Still, I won't make a judgement before tasting. Nothing special when it comes to ambiance. It's a take out place with some small cafe tables. But they were playing a Grateful Dead live show on the sound system, which gave it a good old hippie-Uncle vibe.

In a nutshell, FANTASTIC DELI! Excellent quality food, delicious menu offerings, awesome service, very reasonable. 😋 Always consistently delicious every visit.

Stopped in last week for a quick breakfast and got a pastrami, egg, and cheese on a Kaiser roll with some of the cherry pepper mayo. Bread was fresh, pastrami was flavorful, and I was thrilled they had cooper sharp. The cherry pepper mayo put the sandwich over the top. The crew was very friendly and social. Stopped in again today and got a pork roll, egg, and cheese on a bagel and it was just as good as last week. The staff again was very friendly and even remembered me. I will continue going back as long as I'm in the area. Definitely recommend.

So glad this deli opened up by us. Food is always fresh and delicious. I love their half sour pickles I get a jar every 2 weeks.

Love Mannys!! Its very clean, the staff are very friendly & the sandwiches are so yummy!!! The chop Italian hoagie is delicious but definitely needs more filling/meat in it for $14.50. The two times I ordered it there was way more bread than filling in the sandwich, I guess it loses its fullness because its chopped so if they added a little more meat it’d be perfect! They also sell salmon skins as a dog treat, such a great, no waste idea!!! My pup loves them!!

I ordered a deli tray for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower. The sandwiches, sides and condiments were all freshly made and delicious. Everyone raved about the food. Chelsea was so accommodating and helpful when discussing the order. If you are having a party or you just want a great deli sandwich, Manny’s is the place to go. Thank you Manny’s.

Sadly, I was not impressed with the bagels. Don't get me wrong, the bagel was ok but there was very little cream cheese! For about $6-$7 there should be more. Also, the flavored cream cheese didn't have much flavor, it seemed like not enough salmon was added. You can see how little in the picture. They also tend to "nickel and dime" you.
