User Reviews for 2nd Avenue Deli

I went to the new location late on a Saturday night and I was literally the only person in the place for about 30 minutes until another party was seated. I'm not sure if the dead atmosphere contributed to my overall impression of the food, which was good, but it's just not the same as the old location. It felt kind of sad to be honest. The matzoh ball soup is still tops in the city, however. The complimentary pickles and slaw as good as ever. I'm curious to see if in the long run this new location will have a permanent effect on this great New York institution. Even so, the Second Avenue Deli is still one of the top 5 New York Delis, though I used to rank it overall number one.
Pros: Still great matzoh ball soup; still great pickles and slaw bowl
Cons: The new location has taken something away from this great New York institution

Sadly, not as good as the original. The portions are just not what they used to be and the SERVICE is horrible. When calling for a delivery expect nothing but rudeness. This is unfortunate... the food is still good, but not sure if it is worth the trouble.
Pros: delivery all over the city
Cons: RUDE

Are you freaking kidding me? I ordered from this place at 11AM to make sure that we had our food by 1pm. As I am writing this, its 2:30 in the afternoon and my food isn't even here yet. I WILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN!

It's great to have his place back! And I'm expecially glad it's in my hood! This is the real deal if you want a Jewish Deli! Sadly though one would have thought they would recognize the problems of the old place and made this new start a better experience. It' small, crowded and uncomfortable. If you order take out you're made to feel like you're in the way and the hostess is just plain rude. And there's been a huge wait to get in! Be preapared- the prices are very high! For general overall deli food it's the best but my favortie, pastrami, is second to Katz's in NY and Langer's in LA. But glad you're back, warts and all! PS- Now all the tourists will be confused that the Second Avenue Deli is on Third Avenue!
