Not what it used to be

by balihi

I hadn't been to New York Deli news for quite sometime, and decided to treat a friend to a real deli dinner. This was not the place to go. My corned beef sandwich was as dry as a piece of cardboard, and just as cold and tasteless. My friend ordered the matzo ball soup. The broth was okay, but the HUGE matzo ball has absolutely no flavor what-so-ever. It tasted like a large lump of dough put into a bowl of chicken broth. We were there at dinner time, around 6 o'clock, and the place was empty. I guess word has gotten around about how much this restaurant has changed. I know I won't be going back!

• Pros: Good pickles

by littlerim

Mixed Results!

by DenverDave

Buyer beware! The few times my wife and I have visited New York Deli News the food has been good. The service is a little mixed, we have had a great server and a couple bad servers. However, our last trip was a disappointment. We had decided to go for a mid-week dinner since we received a coupon in the mail for buy one get one free, but when it came time to pay the coupon was not honored. This is partly our fault so read the coupon very, very carefully. We went during the requested times, ordered the necessary drinks, but when it came time to pay it had to be in CASH, which was detailed on a separate part of the coupon. So our mid-week dinner that was going to be a unusual treat for us turned into a $35-40 dinner at a deli. We feel the coupon was misleading and the cashier didn't care at all. We asked if they had an ATM and she said somewhere across the street had one. It was a kind of gotcha, scenario!!! As small business owners my wife and I just were not impressed. I guess they were right when they say "Now Entering NY" at the entrance...they just don't care!

• Pros: Good Food
• Cons: Mixed Service, Misleading Coupons...

Best Sandwich in town

by BLKHWKDOC

I went with a group of four military member for a good lunch. I ordered the half sandwich corned beef and pastromie on rye. Best Sandwich I have eat in forever. HUGE! I would have to say at least one pound of meet. Even the coleslaw was great and I hate coleslaw. Our comined bill was $47 and when we went to paid they gave us a military discount bring the total down to less then $26. I great suprise to follow a great meal. Perfect Kosher dills waiting for you when you get to your table and incredibly large portions of food. Staff was super friendly and place was amazingly clean. I will definatly be back and bring many more friends with me. I cant wait to go get my drink on and eat a late night meal there! You want a good meal or the best sandwich of you life go to the New York Deli News you wont be sorry.

• Pros: Huge food portions and a military discount

Salty and Dry

by BobChris

My friend and I have been wanting to try this place and unfortunatly will not be back. The meat on both sandwhiches was very dry and salty. The coleslaw had no flavor and the fries were average. Every sandwhich is around $10.00 and looking back should of went to Subway for 2 subs and would of been better satisfied. Only NY thing about this place is the price and service.

RUDE AND ABRUPT

by Robertmasamori

I have been going to this restaurant for almost 20 years and have recommended it in the past to my collegues. During the last visit, a heavyset, redhaired woman greeted me at the door and told me I could not bring any beverages into the restaurant. I had a Starbucks latte and was almost finished. She was abrupt and very rude and was very hostile. I tried to explain that I was almost finished, but she just stood there, hands on her hips and glared at me. There were no signs indicating that beverages were not allowed and she would not listen to anything I was trying to say to explain that I was almost finished. After a few very tense moments, I decided to go somewhere else where my business was appreciated. I had driven across town with the sole purpose of eating dinner with my wife.

I am not sure I will ever go back or recommend it to anyone again. I don't feel there was any excuse for her behavior and felt both embarassed and angry. I was going to contact the manager or owner, but can't seem to speak with anyone who wants to listen. If they don't want my business, then I will find somewhere else to spend my money

• Cons: VERY RUDE RECEPTION

Great food- great wait staff- owners are greedy and RUDE!!

by chellemcgowan

As with everything else you pay for in this world...if it's served up with a dose of nastiness, it doesn't matter how good it is. Al and Tori are making a mint in this restaraunt. The food is outstanding, especially the mushroom gravy (i dip my fired in it). It is superb. I feel bad for the wait and cook staff to have to put up with such monsterous owners though. If they are nasty to their good paying and loyal customers, they must really treat the staff poorly. I have been going there for years, as previously stated...the food is outstanding. However, if by chance something is not to your liking...in my case my fries were cold and tasted like they were fried in a dirty fryer, don't bother telling the owners. They make enough money in their place to not seem to give a darn about the few they lose for horrible service. Your dollar only goes so far here...if you never have a complaint. If you do complain about something...put on your armor. I eventually got tired of the mistreatment by the owners....dripping in huge diamonds and gold...trying to swindle me out of my hard earned money. I only ask for what I pay for...and when I get it...I pay and tip generously. Here's a tip...buy take out, and hope to God they get your order right else you'll be battling it out with the greedy and nasty owners!!!!

• Pros: Great food
• Cons: Nasty owners

Real New York-style Deli in the Denver suburbs; who'da thunk?

by markyp00

Nov 29 2008. This was our second visit to the New York Deli News.

Our first vist, back in May 2008, was wonderful. The food, though just a bit pricey, was genuine New York style Deli. I could not believe prior to this first visit that a real NY deli existed in Denver. I was convinced otherwise. The potato pancakes could have come from my very own frypan. I think they stole my recipe! All our meals were superb!

Our second visit in November was almost as good; but not quite. Most of our meals were superb. I had ordered a platter with a bagel and a bialey. I had commented that I didn't think a real NY bialey existed in Denver. I was told otherwise; but, as they say, "the proof is in the pudding". The bialey was CLOSE to a NY bialey; and would have been acceptable had it not been stale. It was lightly toasted, and crumbled as I tried to spread cream cheese on it. It was almost painful to eat; at the very least, it was difficult.

I will go back, because the food overall is superb. But I will never again order a bialey at New York Deli News.

• Pros: Excellent menu choices; emulates the best of many of NY's finest deli's.
• Cons: Pricey. Even for New York. And this isn't New York.

Great Food - Unique Items

by JulieDIA

I have eaten at NY Deli News many, many times over the past two years, and have rarely had a bad experience. In general, the staff is friendly, the food is consistent, and the menu LARGE! I'm not a fan of sandwiches in general, but several of my companions have ordered sandwiches there and enjoyed them piled mile high with meats and cheeses. I love the dinner entrees! The stuffed cabbage is amazing. The roasted half chicken is great, as is the salmon. I've even enjoyed their Italian entrees (chicken parmasean, etc.) The specials are terrific - particularly the lamb shank, and the meatloaf - TO DIE FOR! Call ahead early on Mondays if you want them to save you a the leg of lamb - they seem to run out early on occasion!

• Pros: wide variety on menu, large portions, good value

Problem with Owners

by 7802352078

Yesterday evening Feb 8, 2008, my wife, and family went to the New York Deli News for dinner. We have been there on numerous occasions and was pleased with the food and service. We never had any problems. This visit however, My wife ordered the fillet of sole and chips which was on special for $9.95.

When the order came the chips weren?t chips, they were fries (there is a difference), but the fish was paper thin with pretty thick breading and way overcooked. She summoned the waitress and explained this to her. She told my wife no problem, we?ll just get you the salmon plate. My wife said no need for that, just replace the fish with grilled fish. The waitress said no, we can?t do that, we?ll bring you a complete salmon dinner, but it will take a little time to have it ready. My wife reluctantly said O.K. 10 minutes or so later after the rest of us had finished our meal, the waitress brought the salmon dinner to her. By this time my wife lost her appetite and just put the whole meal in a take home box. When the waitress brought the tab, the salmon dinner was on the bill at $13.95.

We took the matter up with the owners Al and Torry. Boy you talk about some rude people, these two take the prize. Al said what do you want me to do? My wife protested that she didn?t order salmon, she ordered fish & chips, all she wanted them to do was just charge her for the fish & chips, which is a difference of $4. Al said I?m not buying your dinner and stomped in a huff. Needless to say we won?t be back and we?ll tell everyone we know if there is a problem, Al & Torry won?t do a thing to solve it. For $4 they created a very bad situation and lost some good customers. And now I know why they don?t have a ?contact us? on their website.

In addition, we had a BOGO coupon out of the newspaper, when he saw that he went ballistic, ?You want TWO free meals?? I guess that?s an excuse for serving unsatisfactory dishes.
