Overpriced, crappy service, only 1 good menu item

by FaveDave

Walk in the door and be greeted by a scowl from the owner, who will reluctantly seat you like you've interrupted him while he was enjoying picking wings off flies. The first time this happened, I thought we just caught him in a bad mood, but subsequent visits prove that was one of his *good* moods!

His attitude permeates throughout the rest of the staff -- the service is surly and slow. Slooooow.

The food is standard deli, but vastly overpriced. The Rueben sandwich is good, everything else we tried over four visits was mediocre or worse. Yes, we came back three more times because we really thought we must've caught them at a bad time. We couldn't understand how someone could stay in business and be this bad with the public.

I certainly don't need to be coddled -- just bring the food in reasonable time and don't treat me like a prisoner in Abu Ghraib and I'm happy. I'm easy to please, but this place couldn't even meet my moderate standards of service.

Do yourself a favor and pass on this subpar deli.

• Pros: Rueben Sandwich
• Cons: bad atmosphere, surly owner, slow service, vastly overpriced

Save up and go

by scottsang

Victor's Deli is a local neighborhood standard. Known for their good food and down-home sensibilities, Victor's doesn't let you down. Adult-sized portions and swift service will keep you happy. However, their prices have gone haywire (mid-teens for a basic pasta or burger, and $10 for soup, etc.). Also, the "outdoor dining" in the parking lot leaves much to be desired. With some small corrections (mostly in pricing), Victors could again be as good as it thinks it is. In the meantime, it's still worth an occasional visit -- after you've saved up enough of your paycheck.

• Pros: Food, Staff, Service
• Cons: , Parking, Prices

soup steam

Victor's is a well-known deli/liquor mart on the Soap Opera Mile of Franklin near the Mayfair Market and all the Scientology stuff...a true neighborhood spot with the best, best matzo ball and chicken soup. The plum Miami Vice-meets-warehouse decor is sterile, and they definitely need more booths, but you can't beat the freshness and service.

• Pros: yummy, excellent service
