Mill Basin Deli

Came here with the family for an early dinner while in the neighborhood. The service is medium, not as fast as your typical diner, but gets the job done. The restaurant itself is like walking into a time capsule from the 70s and 80s. The inside has been persevered and not changed from the original artwork on the walls, the neon lighting. This is a true New York classic diner experience. The food hots the spot in all the right places. Note that the pastrami is thin cut and served warm and not hand carved like at Katz. Everything tasted well made, though all of the deli meats are very salty. But that's what you came for. I strongly recommend the Superhuman it has all of the classics.

Corned Beef and Pastrami sandwiches were delicious. Potato Latke chips were so crunchy. Coming back to try other items on the menu. I highly recommend Mill Basin Deli!

A true Brooklyn Gem! Service is very fast. Staff extremely friendly. Food is outstanding. You gotta go!

Quality Jewish style delicatessen in Brooklyn that is not too far from the Kings Plaza Mall. Brisket and pastrami on rye bread were delicious. Motzo ball soup and knish were delicious as well. The mustard, sour pickles, and coleslaw they serve are superb quality and delicious too. Try the Dr. Browns beverages with the meal. They compliment the meal. Pleasant staff.

Wow, fantastic pastrami and even better corned beef sandwiches! Louie was a great server giving us the breakdown of the classic meats. If you like the two mentioned dishes, then Mill Basin is worth a visit. *try the potato pancakes for crispy fried goodness

I went for dinner with a few friends. The food is outstanding. The chopped liver appetizer was great. I had 1/2 pastrami sandwich and 1/2 tongue sandwich. It's really good. I hope the Mill Basin Deli is around for a long time to come.

#WFHLunch.#PastramiBurger#GradeA#OG#JewishDeli#MillBasinDeli. The best quality pastrami burger at a fair price! The bun was amazingly fresh. Great to see customers and staff members safely social distancing. I recommend this place for your next #takeout Pastrami fix! And don't forget to ask for the cherry peppers on the side. Spicy and delicious....Great combo...Ill definitely be back for that pastrimi burger w/cherry peppers on the side. #BestDeliEver

This is my second time coming to this restaurant I live in staten island and when I'm in Brooklyn I try to get good hard salami sandwiches and hot dogs from mill basin deli due to the fact that there are no Jewish deli on staten island this time I ordered the special 2 hot dogs and knish along with a hard salami on rye I'm sorry to say that the rye bread was not fresh when I opened the sandwich at home and bit into it the bread was hard like a rock .I wanted hard salami not hard bread lol I will be back to try again.

Best food! The hot dog is incredible, as well as their soups and sandwiches. Service is amazing , one worker the guy that's always there with the beard and glasses he's amazing such a nice guy and always makes our dinner and lunches here great!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Mill Basin deli, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The authenticity of the dishes was impressive, offering a genuine taste of traditional Jewish cuisine. The menu boasted a variety of mouthwatering options, each prepared with care and attention. The staff was not only friendly but also knowledgeable about the menu, providing helpful recommendations and ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The ambiance exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere, creating the perfect setting for a casual meal or gathering with friends. The quality of the food was exceptional, with the pastrami and matzo ball soup standing out as particularly outstanding. The portions were generous, and the flavors were rich and satisfying. While the prices reflect the quality of the food and service, they are reasonable for an establishment of this caliber. I left feeling both satisfied and impressed with the genuine flavors and welcoming atmosphere.

Tiny portions & ridiculously expensive. I totally felt cheated. I have no idea how they stay in business. If you showed your customers some love, you could have so many more !!!! Apparently, at some point in the past, they used to be good ?

My wife is from the area in Brooklyn and was craving Jewish food. We were visiting and went to see if it was as good as she remembered. We were not disappointed whatsoever. We ordered a ton to eat there and bring back to NJ. The cook/waiter greeted us and was very welcoming and friendly. The pickles and slaw they give at the start tasted excellent. We each ordered Dr. Browns sodas. For apps we had stuffed derma, corned beef & cabbage knish and chopped liver. All were delicious and made well and were served quickly. Yes, the service was excellent, kept table pre-bussed and server was patient and very nice! For entrees, wow man! I had the Gourmet Delight triple decker combo sandwich w tongue, corned beef and pastrami. It was divine! Others had pastrami sandwich and kosher Reuben (no cheese or Russian dressing), both enjoyed and took half to go. We also took home rainbow cookies, noodle pudding, and stuffed cabbage. Yeah, we let gluttony get us this time. Can't get food like that in Jersey! Looking forward to going back!

Ever since they reopened after the pandemic, they have sucked big time! The guy who always answers the phone, and doesn't speak good English, always tells you that your phone # is wrong, your address is wrong, everything is wrong when you try to place an order for delivery. The guy is a moron & yet they still let him answer the phone and take orders. We haven't been able to place an order since they re-opened. You're losing lots of business because of this idiot. Hire the good people back who were there before the pandemic!!!

Great quality and variety here. You get the classic delicious and large traditional Jewish deli sandwiches but wait there's more. They have hot dog special, two dogs and a knish which are delicious. The kitchen makes some quality dishes like the goulash which my wife and I love with mashed and mixed veggies we choose as sides. Their soups shouldn't be ignored, wonderful turkey gumbo (don't expect spice) and matzoh ball soup. They also sell some desserts. I generally take out but patrons seem happy when they eat there also. Not cheap but the quality is worth it.

This deli is a standing blessing. Let me tell you why: We showed up at the perfect time; dining room was empty. So my man and I ate there. I ordered a small Matzah Ball Soup, fried Pierogis and a Brisket sandwich. The man put in for a spit pea soup, pigs in a blanket and Pastrami on rye. The order was ready in five minutes, so service was over-the-top fast! The pigs in a blanket are "Roll your eyes in the back of your head"-delicious. Served direct from the fryer, hot as f*ck. Ugh ... Heaven. Pierogi's, I have to say; a bit disappointing. They tasted like unseasoned Mrs. T's pierogi's... Which ARE delicious, but are out of a box. The soups were MIND BLOWING. My Matzah Ball was a fluffy, round, seasoned ball of heaven... Floating in rich chicken broth, speckled with tender diced carrots and skinny pasta noodles. I've never had better. The man's split pea was accompanied by homemade pumpernickel croutons. He described it as perfectly seasoned, not too thick and the croutons put the soup over the top. He also admitted that it was "fart fuel". Ah... What a charmer... The sandwiches: I didn't include photographs of the sandwiches because we were both so excited to try the sandwiches, neither one of us thought of picking up a phone to photograph it, first. My Brisket sandwich was plentiful; served on fresh rye (which was my choice), accompanied by a container of brown gravy. The center of the sandwich was over an inch thick, easily. I will admit, it was a little fatty, but I picked off the fat and went to town. And oh my God was it HEAVEN! The beef was seasoned perfectly. The gravy was a nice accompaniment. It was such a big sandwich, I consumed it with a (plastic)fork and knife. What a meal!! The Pastrami sandwich my man had was just as humongous; well over an inch-thick of meat in the center of his sandwich, served on fresh rye bread. Now personally, I'm not a pastrami-fan (don't hate!), so I asked my man for his review. His words: "Perfectly seasoned; not too salty, not too fatty, not too lean, super tender and the bread was beyond fresh. Two thumbs-up." The coleslaw we ordered was a redesigned version of coleslaw that I've never experienced before. It had a bit of red bell pepper in it, low salt content, only a little mayonnaise and tasted so refreshing. One of the best coleslaw's I've ever had. On our way out, below the deli counter, I notice various containers Rugelach. Rugelach... Those BELONG in my kitchen. So we picked up a container of apricot Rugelach, a giant chocolate chip cookie, and a giant black and white cookie, paid out respects and left, vowing to return in the future, on the regular. When we got home, we had a few Rugelach. Rugelach can vary, greatly. Some taste like puff pastries with a little fruit jam. Some are so heavy, they're like unflavored dough balls with some sugary-fruit-goo. But Mill Basin's available Rugelach were THE BEST Rugelach I've ever had in the 42 years I've been breathing. They're like small, fruit pastries. Ugh... F*cking heaven... The deli is NOT cheap, let's just put that out there. Our two small soups, one order of pierogi's, one order of pigs in a blanket, small coleslaw, two sandwiches, the pickles, one water and one soda totaled $81.32, with tax. This place, for two people, as a sit-down lunch, could easily be seen as a moderately priced location. But it's SO worth it. The only reason this place didn't get five stars from me was due to the unseasoned, potentially boxed pierogis. Please... Take a trip to Mill Basin. What a find!!!

I have been getting food from here for years. The restaurant is pretty neat and old-fashioned. It's a big space and a nice ambience. The staff are really friendly and they've been there for a very long time. My favorite foods to get is a pastrami sandwich with half sour pickles. But if I'm in the restaurant, I like to get the matzoh ball soup and a knish. My family has been ordering this food for a very long time and every time we have a big family gathering everyone always wants to order from Mill basin, kosher deli and it's just been a staple food in our household and good memories.

We stopped here for a to go order before getting on the road back home. I had a half turkey sandwich on rye with mustard and mayonnaise. It was delicious,fresh, most, and tasty. The hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut was delicious. Thick and juicy and all meat. The knish was the usual and tasty. I had a taste of my husband's pastrami on rye with mustard. It was good and fresh but thinly sliced. I prefer hand sliced pastrami and more juicy. My husband loved it though. It's nice to know that this deli is still delivering quality food. The server and the manager were friendly. It made the ride through the old neighborhood worth it. If you are ever in Brooklyn, give them a try!!

Wish I could give them zero stars. Just tried to order again from this deli, and the same incompetent person answered the phone. This fool again had the nerve to tell me that my telephone number is wrong. I had to repeat it to him four times, and he kept telling me it's wrong. Then I started telling him my address and he kept getting that wrong too. WFT!!!!! Why on earth would they have this schlep answer the phone? We are a large party of four people, and again they lost out on our order. It's a shame that in my experience Mill Basin Kosher Deli has completely gone down hill. They are no longer the best deli in Brooklyn. I tried to give them another chance, and again they blew it. I'm not giving them the opportunity for a third strike. Maybe they should get someone who knows how to answer the phone, and who is competent enough to get the address right. I have a feeling this fool is going to lose MBKD a lot of business because he can't get any information correct. Too bad, so sad!!!

Don't really want to go into details on what happened when my husband went in to get me 2 half sour pickles. Just wanted to say louie is one amazing man. Thank you again.

Completely Disappointed, very poor pastrami sandwich. The amount of slices were so skimpy & at a price of $20.95 this was a complete rip-off. I had a friend from the Midwest visit & wanted a NY Pastrami Sandwich, the Mill Basin Deli was recommended to me. This sandwich was an embarrassment. I could not believe there was hardly any pastrami to fill the rye bread & she had to cut fat off some of the slices, for this price, this is shameful.

Still good pastrami, but wow, Honey, I Shrunk the Sandwich! We ordered two pastrami sandwiches, two orders of Derma, a small Cole Slaw, and a couple of cans of Dr Browns. Oh, and a package of Hamantashan. Over $100, and the two most meager pastrami sandwiches I have ever seen in a Jewish Deli in my 60+ years. Watched one of the deli men there show a newb how to weigh the pastrami on the scale for the sandwiches. Unfortunately, there aren't many good jewish delis left.

just found out that the restaurant here at mill basin kosher deli has reopened and made plans to revisit one of my favorite restaurants and was here last night for the first time with a friend - and will be her many many more times .. we ordered many things and everything was served by 2 of the nicest guys (a server team) and was seamless - everything we ordered soup hot dogs fries etc. was fresh and delicious as i remembered - we are really glad dining-in with service is back and for the experience of re-visiting my past

Mill Basin Deli NOT what it used to be. Food skimpy, no more free coleslaw or macaroni salad. What a waste of money! Sandwich, burnt fries, soda, $39.00 to be exact.

Going down hill. Use to be very good. Serve your food on paper plates now. Wait staff gone. Portions shrinking. Prices went up. Neighborhood changing could be the reason. Not worth the trip there anymore.

My friend and I went the other day and enjoyed delicious potato knishes and a yummy pastrami on rye. The wait staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful. The pickles and pickled tomato are not to be missed. This is now our go-to place for good Brooklyn deli.

Best freshest cleanest deli in Brooklyn. Best pastrami corned beef and potato thins! Paul is the best manager! Can't wait to return Thrilled that I can get take out from my favorite deli! The pastrami is delicious as well as the potato latkes and turkey! This is one of the only places I feel comfortable doing take out with during the pandemic! Their a rating makes me feel comfortable and their food keeps me coming back for more!

Love love love that their pastrami and turkey and thinly sliced. Their fries are delicious. They are thick cut real potato fries. The flowering onion was a nice try comes with a tangy spicy bbq dipping sauce. Well be back soon.

Has a party catered. Food arrived exactly on time, platter was beautiful and food was delicious. It has been a terrific deli for the 40 years that I have experienced it.

Great deli. One of the remaining deli's with the authentic touch. Corned beef, tongue, pastrami Whatever your desire...try this place

What a despicable place! Amazing how they still in business... what a condescending and unprofessional attitude from management and employees... We noticed two years ago how the size of pastrami sandwich went drastically down, how oddly tasteless the meat became, how very fast the prices are rising, how it became very very difficult to get an appropriate amount of pickles (for f sake!) and Russian dressing (for f sake again!!). Last time we ordered a sandwich-stupid us-came home, looked into the bag -- no pickles and 1 tiny mayo container instead of Russian dressing. Really wish this place to not exist anymore sooner than later. It is time to go. Now.

Unfortunately good Jewish delicatessens are becoming the thing of the past. As the population becomes more and more aware of healthy eating the impact this has on traditional Jewish deli foods is obvious. I wish I could say this place was great but the pastrami was dry and tough to chew. The potato pancakes were quite delicious and the hot dog was excellent but it's the pastrami that would keep you coming back and Mill Basin Deli just ain't it. The truth is there are non Kosher places that make better pastrami and that's a shame. I won't give up maybe I'll find a decent one soon. It just wasn't here.

Been going there for years one of the best deli - Friday night we had pea soup and pastrami don't know what happened but the pea soup was watered down not thick like it's always been and the pastrami had no taste - I'm hoping this was a one time thing because if it stays like this we won't go back. I know things have gotten expensive so people go with with a cheaper brand - but we pay for good money to get good taste

This is, and has always been, my favorite deli in New York. Their food is amazing and always fresh! My favorites dishes here: Kishka (w/ one of the tastiest gravies you will ever have), Matzoh Ball Soup, Tongue Sandwich, Stuffed Cabbage, and Kreplach w/ Onions. Not to forget that star starters of the show, the Kosher Pickles, Cole Slaw, and Mac Salad. All of these dishes are AMAZING and will really show the true colors of this old time Brooklyn deli. As for the restaurant; it's decorated nicely, always clean, the staff is always friendly and fast. This place may be more expensive than other local delis (which are now hard to come by), but totally worth it as the quality blows others out of the water. Highly recommended!

This may be the best jewish deli i've been to in a long time. Of course there was pickles and cole slaw when you walk in, of course they have Dr Brown's and cream soda, and yes, they're glatt kosher, but what got me was the corned beef. This corned beef was absolutely perfect. Tender, but not crumbly. Lean, and yet amazingly flavorful! I was suspicious when I saw a distinct lack of fat on the corned beef, after all too lean = meh. Usually. Not this time. The waitress was great, my daughter and I both loved our lunch, and they even have both kinds of knishes (if you have to ask, never mind). Even though we were staying in Rockaway, this was well worth the drive over the Marine Park bridge and past Kings Plaza. I will be sure to visit again next time I'm visiting the old 'hood. SOLID five stars.

Always good! Pricey now, but when you are the last man standing you can set your own prices.

A local institution still doing things the old school way. Not too many places around anymore where you can get a good pastrami or Reuben. But if that's what you are in the mood for, this place is legit. They make a great sandwich; my favorite is the Mark and Donny special. I also love the fries and the Matzo Ball soup. The place is a bit pricey but the portions are good and the food is quality. Most definitely worth a visit.

This is probably the best kosher deli in Brooklyn. Sadly, that's faint phrase; there are NO really good kosher delis left here, so this mediocre restaurant rises to the top of a dismal heap. The only food I really like at delis is pastrami; Mill Basin's is dry and under-seasoned; It doesn't stack up well compared to the outstanding pastrami at a number of non-kosher Jewish style delis, most notably David's Brisket House in Bedford-Stuyvesant, or Katz's in Manhattan. On the plus side the service at this deli, back when it was possible to eat in a restaurant, was excellent and the interior is attractive, with good art on the walls. One caveat: BEWARE of ordering delivery via Mill Basin Deli's website. If there is a problem they'll attempt to evade any responsibility and refer you to the out-of-state headquarters of Menufy, their delivery service, which is impossible to reach by phone or text and takes hours to respond via email.

My friends took me to this places after hanging out at kings plaza mall Food was so good ! Couldn't stop eating , lol Definitely will be back soon !!!

It has become a takeout place not a restaurant for inside dining - impossible to enjoy a meal served on cardboard with plastic utensils- a far cry from time you had a restaurant worth visiting - the food is good but having everything ordered dumped on the table together is off putting- the highlighted Latka chips were very disappointing- we will not return

Dirty tables, no servers, no plates (only paper), no silverware (only plastic). Napkins that may be used as toilet paper. They no longer have a dishwasher. Disgusting. One of their excuses is saving $10,000 in water bills. I haven't the words to accurately describe how dirty it feels. As far as the food, it's not worth mentioning except to say in a scale from 1 to 10 it's 1. Close the doors and get out of the business.

I've been ordering here for years no customer loyalty. They tried to charge me for a pickle. The food is overpriced and then they have the audacity to charge someone for a pickle. Comical. Will not be going back here anymore. Sad to lose business over a pickle. Manager sucks too rude and lazy.

Prices gone through the roof, ridiculous $40 $ a pound for pastrami, even when you request lean Kinesh very greasey. Count me an ex customer.

Welcome to Avenue T! It's a long distance from Manhattan (as in "passport distance"), but that won't stop anyone here from charging obscene, Madison Avenue amounts for plain-Jane, ordinary food. A roast beef sandwich set us back $19, and arrived looking pretty diminutive and lonely. But the experience did take me down memory lane.... way way down to those sad days in my junior high school cafeteria, locked in a staring contest with astronaut food minus the hydration element. Show up after a good meal though, and satisfaction is not so far away!

Very good old school Kosher Deli. All the standards; including CelRay soda from Dr. Brown's. My favorite, Pastrami on Rye, always juicy and full of flavor. Why would anyone get lean? Been here many times; food always consistent. Strong delivery and take out business. Years ago, there was Adelman's on Kings Highway or 13th Avenue; Mill Basin Deli keeps the time honored tradition of a real Jewish Deli. You won't be disappointed.

I hate comparing but I usually get pastrami from Katz Deli. I have tried other places that are decent but I still go back to Katz because they are hard to compare and this is exactly why. I just did a pickup order here at mill basin deli for a hot pastrami sandwich which they claim they are the best in Brooklyn. As soon I get in the car I look for the sandwich and I can barely find it due to how small it is. There was barely any meat and it was cut so thinly. It also lacked flavor. I can't believe I paid $20 for rye bread but you win some you lose some. I told myself I just had to try it once and this was the first and last time. Thanks but no thanks.

Very good sandwiches and kosher meat. Huge selection on the menu. The matzah balls are huge and a favorite. I love the fried onions and perogies. Plenty of tables and a private room. Never a long wait. Check it out!

Service was great. The food could have been a little better especially for the prices they charge. Sandwiches are definitely not overstuffed. I thought the pastrami was a little dry albeit it was exceptionally lean. My deli omelet seriously had no discernible taste to it. The place is very nicely decorated.

The hot pastrami sandwich was really good. I split it with a friend thinking it was too much. Ended up wishing I had ordered my own. Their in-store prices are about $2 less than their delivery menu prices for each item. Repeat: FOR EACH ITEM

This is straight up Brooklyn! It's an old timer Bklyn deli that I have been going to since I was born. The place is no frills and the decor is exactly the same as it was the first time I went there. The menu is pretty much the same too. Sometimes it's hit or miss. This time it was pretty delish! The turkey sandwich is my fave. I know it looks dry but I had the gravy on the side. And that was huge! I normally don't eat meat but when in Rome or Brooklyn... Also, being able to get an ice cold seltzer or black cherry soda is always a treat!

Would rather leave a 0 Star review if I could. Brooklyn resident all my life I can name 10 Great places to get just as good or better sandwiches that are larger and less expensive. $20. For a corn beef sandwich that is the size of a 1/2 of a hero is ridiculous. The size and price are very disappointing. The staff members are cold and not welcoming, they give the impression they are doing you a favor. I'm a foodie and enjoy going out for a good meal, so this isn't the place for that.

Unequivocally, the best NY deli. My love of the jewish deli has risen since I read Save the Deli and the loss of my dear parents, Mill Basin Deli is as good as it gets. A true hidden gem in a part of Brooklyn way under the radar. It's original midcentury chairs and furnishings are part of the charm. I've been here twice in the last few weeks and I love it. They are super nice here in a way you see less and less often. Ate: coleslaw and pickles- you get this when you sit down. Grilled salmon Thanksgiving every day Combo sandwich with three meats- called the Gourmet special Everything here is delicious and made thoughtfully with love. The matzoh ball soup is simple and perfect with carrots and a matzoh ball that steeped on traddition. their combos like the ave T special and the Gourmet special my friend had with corned beef, pastrami and tongue with vinegary coleslaw and Russian dressing was meatgasmic. They easily substituted veggies for mashed with my salmon and the fries look EPIC! The meats are marvelous and succulent, i love this spot. A true institution in Mill Basin.

Wonderful meal here and excellent service. Very clean! Great pastrami , cole slaw and pickles. We tried stuffed kishka which we hadn't had in many years. Their soup is excellent and all vegetables are fresh. Very impressed and highly recommend

I love this place. Anytime we get a chance to go there we do. If I am nearby, I suggest it. The food is always good and its done right. Thank you guys.

Very expensive. Pastrami sandwich was well cooked and tasty. Very fresh sandwich. I'll have this as a treat once in a blue moon due to the prices.

We ordered from Mill Basin Deli Saturday afternoon through GrubHub, starving as usual. Before I talk about the food, our order did not arrive on time. More like 20 minutes later, but GrubHub did offer us a $5 credit towards our next order. So that was nice of them. We ordered potato chips (crispy latkas) a smoked turkey wrap, soups, perogies, hot dogs and some other small eats. I'd rate the food at a 6.5. It was good and I'd order again so I can try some other eats but it's pretty basic and of course deli style. The hot dog was advertised as huge, but was not so huge at all. The soup could have used some more spices but it was still hearty and delicious. I did read a couple of reviews talking about the service being sub par but I only dealt with Grubhub and besides the delivery being late, my order was good. I'm looking forward to trying some other Deli eats in the future.

Boy oh boy. If only I could eat here all the time. The pastrami on rye with Russian dressing on the side is the bomb and is what I always get when I eat here. Their corned beef is pretty good too, but I prefer the pastrami as it has more fat, is very juicy, tender and just plain ole delicious.

This is the sort of place that people dream of when they're sitting in their San Francisco offices before lunchtime. I drove over with my Dad a couple of days ago, and we basically got one of everything to go. For me, the pickles (two kinds) and the pastrami were hands down the big winners. Yum! The pastrami made me think of Schwartz's Smoked Meats in Montreal http://www.yelp.ca/biz/schwartzs-montreal but was good enough that I didn't want to dust off my passport and run up there. The pickles were great as well. Still very good, but not quite unworldly were the kosher rotisserie chicken, the cole slaw, the sauerkraut and the corned beef. I was less enthusiastic about the tongue and the pea soup. Oh, I should mention the noodle pudding, which was kind of a mistake on our part -- it wasn't all that great. Yes, it was a big day of eating, especially since we shared a hot dog on the spot while we were waiting for our takeout to be packed up. Now I'm back in the SF Bay Area and it's my turn to dream of this stuff. Yes, I'll definitely be back!

I'd give 0 stars if possible. Mind you I hesitate to say this as I'm super sympathetic to the plight of restaurants and all business effected by this covid-19. In fact I tipped my barber $20 on a $17 haircut because I felt awful that he was out of work for 4 months. I called the Mill Basin Kosher Deli yesterday asking if the have "Specials". For us "Jewish deli" fans a "Special" is a big fat oversized hot dog. They first thought I was asking if anything was on sale and told me about the 2 chicken sandwiches for $9. I told him I'm referring to the hot dog specials and they had to get the manager to see what I was referring to. They came back in the phone and told me that they do have them and they are $16 per pound. I asked how many to a pound and I was told 4. Great, I'll be in tomorrow to pick them up! I'm driving from the other end of Brooklyn so please let me know if they are in stock so I don't travel there for nothing. She tells me, No worries. We have plenty so don't worry. Thx. I get there today. I asked for a pound of specials along with a pound of pastrami, rye bread, chopped liver and 6 knishes. They start preparing everything but i get the same blank stare response about the "specials" but am told about chicken sandwiches being in sale. I once again describe Special hot dogs and am met with more blank stares. I refer to Yesterdays phone call and finally the manager intercedes and goes into the kitchen to get them. He comes back and tells me they are out of specials and have been out for 2 weeks. I tell him of Yesterdays phone call but his body language and facial expression was "I don't care" so I didn't bother going further. I just left. Thank you for wasting my time. This place has alway been known for inconsistent service and paying no attention to detail. I'll never step foot in here again. I should have learned my lesson in 1978 when they delivered the wrong order to my house and never corrected it. Pains me to say this, but the owner & management of the Mill Basin Kosher Deli hasn't learned anything in all these years when it come to good service. The owner Marc, is never there and the staff couldn't care at all. (I remember the owner from the 70's and in fact the service wasn't all that great when he was visible). With the demise of their only competition, Jay & Lloyd's this month, They should be going above and beyond to satisfy every customer. Not treating them like crap. An apology would have been nice.
