Editorial Review for Sarge's Deli & Restaurant – by Steven Shaw
The Scene
There are no rules at Sarge's: It's open 24/7 and serves every kind of food--from potato latkes to chicken and ribs--to every kind of customer, from businesspeople at breakfast to recuperating club kids at 4am. It looks like an old-style Jewish deli, with cheeky waitresses to match, but it's really a crossroads of all of New York City.
The Food
For the most part, Sarge's New York classic menu is first-rate. The best dishes are the sandwiches, like the triple-decker fantasy of corned beef, tongue and chopped liver, and the traditional deli entrees, like beef flank simmered in mushroom-barley soup. Breakfast foods, especially omelettes, are good as well. Like any restaurant that attempts to cook everything, however, there are hits and misses--the fried jumbo shrimp are surprisingly good, but barbecue ribs are predictably poor.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE.....they are completely incapable of taking an order from seamless web or over the phone. I am now still waiting almost 3 hours later for my meal. I have called three times and only found out the third time that they didn't have my order. Yet, they had confirmed twice that it was on its way out. Not only has this been ridiculous, but they showed no remorse or compensation. They obviously didn't give a sh*t about their customers because I used to be a loyal Sarge's order. IT'S NOT WORTH THE WAIT OR THE HASSLE AND THEIR SERVICE AND EMPLOYEES ARE RUDE AND INCAPABLE OF DELIVERING A SIMPLE ORDER....THEIR FOOD IS NOT EVEN WORTH A QUARTER OF THE HASSLE.

I spent half my New York vacation eating here, the sandwiches were so good. We found it whilst wandering a few blocks from our hotel after a 9 hour flight and were really pleasantly surprised. It was being refurbished when we visited so it was a little untidy and as always, very busy. However the staff were really great, explaining all the menu items as we were obviously out-of-towners. I'd highly recommend the brisket sandwich with gravy...I almost miss it! They do a great rang of desserts aswell and for the atmosphere and service the price is more than reasonable. I'll definitely stop by the next time I'm in town.
Pros: Ambience, Price, Food
Cons: Menu needs explaining!
