Your hosts, David Levy and Barry Robbins, welcome you to their version of a traditional deli! When we opened in 1995 our goal was to remind our customers what a deli experience is like. From crunchy kosher pickles to piled high pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, steaming bowls of matzo ball soup, traditional brisket dinners and a bakery boasting homemade recipes, we hope to please our customers from start to finish. We work hard to source the best meats, vegetables, and ingredients all while developing new items to keep up with current culinary trends!

    Arrived around 10 am for breakfast and a bakery item (rye bread). We had actually made a reservation but it wasn’t as crowded as I expected for a Saturday morning. We had excellent food service and a delightful meal that featured lox for both of our meals (mine, a simple lox and bagel and my husband’s a Lox Benedict (served atop potato latkes). All very fresh and delicious.

    The service was quite poor. Food brought not as requested--soup and main dish together so one or the other had to sit until cold. Bread brought without butter. Dishes tossed on the table rather than placed. For example, there was quite a bit of soup on the plate and not in the bowl.

    Milton’s has always been a place to meet friends, great atmosphere and service is top-of-the-line. The only issue I had this time was my salad was a little gritty. My friend said she loved her sandwich. The bread came out really good. I don’t mind paying 18% but when it’s automatic, it kind of bugs me a little bit. We were only two people. I’d like to choose what I pay as a tip. With that being said, I do highly recommend Milton‘s. It’s a great Jewish deli place to eat with large portions stick to the sandwiches

    They were out of one of the most popular dishes: Monte Cristo sandwich. I heard a number of nearby tables express exasperation because they, like me, came to Milton's specifically for it! How do you run out of one of the favorites? Maybe that answers itself: it's a favorite, so in demand, which exceeded the supply. I don't know. I consider Milton's more of a diner and less of a deli; it lacks a number of items that delis have, such as pickles on the table, egg bagels, marble rye bread, and a number of others. Milton's is colorfully decorated and the service is always superior!

    Food was cold. Eggs were either overcooked or served one step above raw. We got one waffle before the waffle iron broke and we were served a half slice of French toast. All this and a bill for a $100.00 breakfast. What a change from two weeks ago. Two weeks ago our meal was perfect which shows you are inconsistent with your quality control and standards.
