About:This neighborhood deli is famous for its Jewish-American food. You will find low-fat versions of New York-style sandwiches and breakfast served all day. The bright dining room holds several small booths on a hardwood floor. Zaftigs means 'plump' in Yiddish, which explains the pictures of plump little people on the wall. The Reuben, corned beef and pastrami sandwiches are favorites. For breakfast, try the Challah french toast and blintzes. For lunch, try matzo-ball soup or whitefish salad. The dinner menu includes brisket, pork chops and flank steak. This deli serves beer and wine.

    I have been there for breakfast/brunch and its great. However, yesterday 11/1/07 I went there for an after work burger and beer. I ordered the sirloin burger, medium with a beer. I'm a burger guy and always try to find "the" place that serves great burgers. I didn't know they even had them so I thought I'd check it out. This place has more of a diner feel, so it doesn't stick out as your traditional burger place. Well, I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised. The burger, probably 1/2 lb in size, was cooked as I ordered- medium, it was very juicy and very tasty. One of the best burgers I've had in recent memory. I would go there again and would definitely reccomend the place to all burger lovers out there- check it out.

    Excellent food.: Although the lines are often long on the weekend it is definitely worth the wait. Always friendly staff, pleasant ambience and delectable food make this a great eatery.

    Good, reliable, but don't expect authenticity: An upscale, Jewish-ish delicatessen, Zaftig's is a great place for a breakfast meeting, and a good place for a nosh. It's comfortable in every regard, lacking the noise, accents and tumult of a real Jewish deli. (It doesn't come close to being kosher, if that matters to you.) Big portions, not particularly cheap. The service is usually good, with lots of college-age waitstaff filling up your coffee cup until you're floating.
