    Latkes were great the matzo ball soup was good but a little under seasoned the pastrami was unfortunately very dry - seasoned well but lifeless and the rye was stale . Surprisingly underwhelming.

    A friendly staff serving delicious, wholesome food. A true Jewish deli with a full service menu serving breakfast, lunch and dinners after 3 pm. Jay, Arturo and the rest of the team made our visit very pleasant today. We will definitely go back next time we’re in town.

    Four of us for breakfast. Service was excellent. Coffee cups kept filled. Each person ordered a different item (Deli Omelet, Corned Beef Hash and Eggs, Ham & Cheese Omelet, French Toast). Everyone was happy with their items. Corned Beef Hash was house made and the two poached eggs were perfectly done.

    J’s Deli scored a perfect 10/10 again!!!! We took my very picky Dad for breakfast. He ordered Belgium waffles, poached eggs and bacon. The waffles were light, fluffy and topped with fresh blueberries and strawberries; very nice plating! HE LOVED EVERY BITE! I knew he would since J’s Deli prides itself on excellent quality ingredients. My husband enjoyed the generous New York Deli omelette while I had the drool worthy HUGE New York Black Pastrami sandwich on their home-baked egg challah bread with homemade Russian dressing – SERIOUS YUM! Our server was Tony, he recognized my husband and I from the week before and warmly welcomed us back like family. Jay (the owner) visited our table and introduced himself. He is truly a very proud restaurateur who genuinely cares about his customers and treats his staff with great respect. It, honestly, feels so wonderful supporting a local family owned and run restaurant like J’s Deli. This is a real review by a really satisfied, and now, loyal customer! Thank you, Tony and Jay! Oh, and if you saved room, do try their ultimate Ghirardelli chocolate brownie – Insanely good!

    Always enjoy going to J’s. The food, service and atmosphere is always great. 👍🏻 I have to add, there are so many places in the desert to choose from,but seeing an owner who is always present and working just as hard (or harder) as their staff is so great. Makes us want to support them even more.

    We really enjoyed J's deli. It's so difficult to decide with their expansive menu. We choose the turkey dinner and meatloaf - both winners. Moist slices of turkey breast with a luscious white gravy, super yummy challah bread stuffing and perfect mashed potatoes, The meatloaf was also moist and generous, served with really tasty carrots, perfect mashed potatoes topped with a luscious dark gravy. Tony was our server, and despite being very busy, he went out of his way to ask the kitchen about an ingredient; which I very much appreciated. He also made us the perfect margaritas. Thank you Toni for going out of your way with a smile on your face!

    Another great meal at an excellent neighborhood deli. One of us enjoyed a great breakfast and I had a delicious healthy wrap.
