“UPDATE: killer Ruben too. the nova lox brought me infinite joy. ty!! will be back ❤️”
“I have walked by this place several times and finally managed to try it! I got the Eat It and Beat It with chips and it was fantastic, truly overstuffed. The customer service was exactly what one would expect from a proper deli; the people are grumpy and the food is scrumptious! There is an inflation upcharge from the listed menu prices; either $1.50 or 1.5%, I don't remember which.”
“They gave me a cookie and coffee on the house because service was a bit behind. Really nice staff”
“This place is a gem. The staff (or owners?) are always so nice and they keep it real there. Their bagels are the bee's knees so go out of your way for them. Also, check out their breakfast sandwiches.”
“Stopped by Sunday morning for brunch. I got the I Like It Hot! Sandwich, which was phenomenal. The beef brisket is just so good. It was on toasted challah bread. We also tried a knish and matzo ball soup. Both were tasty. Service was super friendly and quick. It took us less than 10 mins to get our food, but a lot of people came in after us. We will definitely be back!”
“Finally made it to JB’s Deli in Andersonville and I’m upset it took me so long! This cute local deli/sandwich shop is serving up some great sandwiches and I will absolutely be back. The employees are so friendly and kind and the Rachel Reuben knocked my socks off.”
“Fantastic flavors packed into these sandwiches. Hidden gem for out of towers but I’m sure to locals, it’s just JBs”
“Awesome Jewish deli with a big menu, located in some historic building just a little off the path. They serve giant piles of meat between bread slices + a pickle. Which was exactly what I was looking for.”
“Beautiful and tasty lox bagel. Always friendly and worth the trip.”
“My partner and I ate here today. She got a roast brisket sandwich ($17) and I got a corned beef sandwich ($16). They were both incredible, and the sandwich sizes made them well worth the cost. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the pickles were true deli pickles with an excellent crunch (it may seem incredibly petty to fuss over the pickles, but you can always tell the quality of a deli by the quality of their pickles since it is such a small, insignificant detail). My only complaints are that the bathroom was out of toilet paper (both sides of the dispenser were picked clean) and the atmosphere of the dining area could do with some improvement as it is quite austere. But aside from that, it was an incredible lunch and I will definitely be returning when I'm in the area. I also really like the tipping options on the kiosk. You know how every tablet point of sale system these days prompts you for a tip, and the owners always put the pre-defined options as 10/15/20% (or worse, 20/25/30%)? The pre-set options on their tablet were 3/5/7%. It was honestly shocking to see amounts that low, and I wish more places would do that because being asked for 10%+ always feels like a reach when you're not being provided a waiter.”
