Gruby's New York Deli - Atlanta

The food is pretty decent. The sandwiches could use a bit more meat like most authentic NY Deli restaurants. I ordered the pastrami and corned beef. More bread than meat and they gave me the wrong mustard. Since I was on my lunch break I didn't have time to send it back. Fries were good.

This restaurant is not a New York City deli by any means, just a cheap imitation. Anyone who has experienced a true NYC deli would not be fooled by this place. I ordered the Large Twin Towers Sandwich, which was far from large and consisted of dry, fatty meat with uninspired cole slaw and Russian dressing on somewhat stale, untoasted rye bread. My wife tried the Turkey Reuben and thought it was just average. As a native of the Bronx, she knows her NYC cuisine, and this restaurant fell short of her expectations.

Best Pastrami sandwich hands down. The slaw and Cucumber Salad are soooo good! Rosie, our server was awesome!

The vegetarian omelet was tasty. The choices for someone avoiding pork and corned beef were pretty slim. The service was friendly. The restaurant was busy for lunch.

I'll begin with the positive: They make an excellent sandwich. I ordered the Twin Towers and it was delicious. The soft bread, the sauce, and the meat all blended together nicely. The woman with glasses who made my sandwich did a fantastic job and deserves a raise. On the downside, $17 for a sandwich is pricey. This is Atlanta, not New York City. I would visit more often if the sandwich was priced at $10. Parking is very limited during lunch hours. Lastly, the older man at the register was a bit unfriendly.
