"JB's Deli is a cute local staple. They have such a big menu! They have sandwiches, baked goods, deli salads, plus a pharmacy in the back. I got their veggie and cheese sandwich and paid extra for extra cheese and avocado. The sandwich comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion. You can choose a side of pasta salad, baked beans, or chips, and it comes with a pickle. The sandwich was good, a very typical vegetarian sandwich. The best part of the sandwich was the amount of cheese they put on it and the onion bun it came on. The veggie sandwich didn't have any pizzazz though! I've been spoiled with how creative people have gotten with veggie sandwiches micro greens, beets, hummus. I just wanted a little more! Although I wouldn't come back for this sandwich, they still had so many other vegetarian options that I would come back for, such as the pasta salad. The pasta salad had a lot of fresh herbs and was very yummy. They also had breakfast sandwiches, baked goods, baked beans, potato pancakes, blintzs. knishes, bagels, and more. Plenty of options!The inside of the deli is so cute. It seems like a classic old Chicago building with the tile floor, exposed brick wall, and ornate ceiling. There is some outdoor seating along the sidewalk if you have a nice day and want to eat outside. Otherwise they have additional seating behind the cashier. The deli is right off Clark street, so you can usually find parking or take the 22 bus. I would definitely come back here! It would be a great place to grab some food for a picnic by the lake."

"I recently had breakfast at PJ Bernstein, a New York deli located near the hospital where I was visiting my new grandbaby. While I had high hopes for the meal, I was somewhat disappointed by the overall experience.To start, the tables were sticky, which was not a great first impression. It made me wonder about the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. Additionally, my egg cream was too watery, which detracted from the overall flavor. While it was still drinkable, it was not up to the standard that I was hoping for.As for the food, I ordered my standard latkes, matzoh ball soup, and a Reuben sandwich. While the matzoh ball soup was flavorful and satisfying, the latkes had too much flour, which made them dry and a bit tough. This was a disappointment, as latkes are one of my favorite dishes and I was looking forward to them. The Reuben sandwich was good, but not outstanding. It was a bit dry and lacked the tangy flavor that I was hoping for.While the food was not exceptional, the service was decent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the food was served in a timely manner. However, the lack of cleanliness and the disappointing latkes and egg cream detracted from the overall experience.In conclusion, while PJ Bernstein may have been a New York deli staple in the past, my recent experience left something to be desired. While the matzoh ball soup and Reuben sandwich were good, the latkes had too much flour and the egg cream was too watery. Additionally, the tables were sticky, which was a bit off-putting. While the service was decent, I would recommend looking elsewhere for a more satisfying New York deli experience"
