    I highly recommend their chicken piccata with spinach and artichokes for a tasty, healthy dinner. With prices so high everywhere a good meal with soup below $30 is a find! And they’re nice there too.

    We had a great time at J's! Visited with my husband and parents. We got a variety of dishes such as the cabbage rolls, reuben sandwich, flat iron steak, and the chicken pot pie - all were delicious. We were seated inside (as per our request) but decided shortly after that we'd prefer outdoor seating and it was no problem to move. Outside was very comfortable and spacious. We had excellent service from Tony - very attentive staff and everything came as expected. We think this is one of the best diners in town. Will definitely be back!

    Really enjoy J’s for an informal meal at a deli. Very good food. I like to sit on the patio and enjoy the music. It is quieter than inside

    We visited J's for the first time with my sister. All of our breakfasts were great, plenty of hot, fresh food and excellent service from Tony. Sit outside on a nice day, the patio makes for a pleasant meal.

    The service from waitstaff was very good. What enhanced it was the attention by the owner who came by more than once to ask if we needed anything or if we were happy. So pleasant and welcoming it made us enjoy the experience even more. The apple strudel was beyond exceptionally delicious, not too sweet and the apples tasted fresh. The appearance of the Deli is fresh, bright, comfortable and clean.

    I have experienced Deli’s from coast to coast and can say that my experience at J’s was a great experience with both the service from Tony and the quality of the food. Patio seating with the outdoor heaters just made for an all around great experience. I should also note that my Golden Retriever was also pleased with his personal water bowl. Two paws up from Bentley.

    We sat on patio and enjoyed the music from the playlist. Music was loud enough to enjoy AND have a conversation. The service was great. The menu is broad and we enjoyed everything.
