Inflation is up and everything is expensive, but $15 for chicken soup and no chicken in it is obscenely spiteful to a customer traveling far in hopes of something decent. If this placed goes out of business it won’t be for a changing demographic but fed up customers. Good luck
The corned beef was very good, but the dish that really blew my mind was the coleslaw. Im from the south and had believed all my life we had coleslaw cornered; this place changed my world view. They have the best Ive had!
The Deli. The Sandwich. The pickles.If you are a fan of any of these, you’ve got to try their sandwiches. The food is amazing. We had pastrami and brisket and both were super high quality and delicious.
For an authentic taste of old New York, this is your place - wonderful! Dont worry about calories as you will burn them off just walking up the hill. 😂
Amazing food, wonderful history attached to this business. Employees and customers were very accommodating.. We visited from out of state.
Old world charm with super-friendly staff.Ordered the combination Pastrami & Corned Beef sandwich which comes stacked high with loads of finely sliced meats. My wife and I had were full eating just one sandwich! They also plunked down a bowl of pickles and coleslaw - probably the best I have ever had.Its a must do for anyone who is trying the NY City of old movies. Make sure you are not in a rush when you visit them in the Bronx - its a place to experience and take in.
Real deal Jewish Deli. Ordered Corned beef and Pastrami on rye with mustard and Russian dressing with a side of homemade mini potato knishes, coleslaw and sour pickles. Delicious fresh food and excellent service.
We live in Southern Virginia, however born in Brooklyn and raised in Los Angeles but now living where breakfast is biscuits and gravy, and lunch or dinner may be a pulled pork sandwich, and hotdogs might cost 3 for $1.00 you miss the food you grew up on well My dear wife ordered me a pastrami sandwich, from your deli , and I have to tell you that the cost of this sandwich may not only become a staple in my home perhaps once a month or so but it may just save me a trip to NY because now that I know I can order food from the Deli and probably a good Chinese restaurant as well I don’t have much need to take that trip to NY that I have been longing to take. Thank you it was awesome and I am full it was a great sandwich.
Possibly the Last Jewish Deli left in The Bronx !! Excellent matzoh ball and 🐔 chicken soup. And all the other traditional food.
Wouldn’t recommend this place regardless of how the food tastes. The servers are ridiculously rude and the prices are higher than Manhattan. I bought 2 pounds of meat for $80 and they didn’t even offer me a slice of bread.
Received the wrong knishes and Liebman not only replaced 4 but rounded it off to 6. This is definitely good business. I have ordered from them before, completely satisfied and will continue in the future.
The taste of Shalom north of Manhattan on the Hudson!!!!! Try pastrami omelette and 2 meats sandwich with corn beef and pastrami on rye. Simply the best!!!!
Delicious food. Authentic deli. Great staff delivery service is wonderful. A true neighborhood gem.
Probably one of the best deli experiences we have ever had in our life. This is a dying art do not miss it!
So good. The best pastrami on rye I can remember
I dont know what to say about this place....Everything is delish. I had a half and half rueben
The food was Fabulous, lein and tender , nice and hot , the coleslaw was delicious, YES I highly recommend this dish. Pastrami sandwiche ! Yummy
I ordered via GoldBelly. The food was delicious. Everything was prepared and packaged perfectly. It was a terrific treat that we all enjoyed. I cant wait to visit the deli the next time Im in NYC.
The food is fantastic!Unfortunately, so are the prices. I wish that I could afford to eat food from their restaurant.
Good deli sandwiches...almost as good as Katzs on the Lower East Side in Manhattan 😂...prices are reasonable.
Been there before i felt like the pastrami was better and it wasnt hot like I requested and asked for tomatoes and paid extra needless to say they werent in the sandwich.
Jewish style kosher deli. Good food, fast and pleasant service.
Get yourself up to the Bronx if you want real Kosher food! This place was great. Food like your old Jewish Grandmother would cook.
Great food. A little pricey, but delicious.
$39.00 a pound. I went to Liebman instead of going to Fairway. I believed the reviews but a picture is worth a thousand words this is what I got for my money. Who taught this person how to cut smoked salmon. I got scraps. Very dissappointed
Love Love Love this Deli, dont have to run to KATZ, to get the kosher goodies. Thanks
Tasty kosher deli food at reasonable prices. The portions are huge and the service is fast!
Best NYC deli outside of Katz’s, and much easier to park, get a table, and pay the bill.
Katzs rival in the Bronx. The pastrami is unbelievable. Great frankfurters. The knishes are a nice blast from the past and still taste great.
Old school kosher deli thats been around for 40 to 50 years. Food is always been consistently good. The place needs a major updating the seats are very uncomfortable and its very dark. But if you feel like old school kosher food this is the place to go there arent a lot of very good coach Billys left in the area but this one shines above the rest. Prices are a little higher than of the kosher deluge that I go to but not exorbitant. I believe they brine their own pickles. Which is definitely a plus. Coleslaws also top notch. The meats are not fatty and overstuffed the way I like them
We were traveling between Philly and central Connecticut, when we decided to get some great NY Jewish deli food. A search led us to Liebmans. The menu is very promising. The result is very mixed. The tongue and the inventive potato pancake are excellent. The cold-cuts omelette was very good, but a large piece of very fatty corned beef was buried within. The brisket was dry and flavorless, the potato and kasha knishes have good wrappers, but the fillings are very mediocre (mein bubbes taam). The kasha varnishes were also just so-so. The prices were as if everything was superb.
Wow Wow wow, Great food, traditional deli, one of the best kosher delis I have eaten at. Simply fantastic food. You wont be able to eat it all so there will be a take out bag.
Great deli! Very clean and friendly staff.
We dont have a lot of kosher delis in Kansas, and I wanted to get my Jewish wife something special for dinner for our anniversary. So I ordered from Liebman’s via Goldbelly, and Im so glad I did. That was some of the best corned beef Ive ever had, and the matzo ball soup was just to die for. The pickles are just perfect too; just a little tangy and perfectly crunchy. And those knishes!One day, well make it out to New York. And when we do, I cant wait to visit Liebmans in person.
Cmon guys. You slap two pieces of bread on top of dry salami and call it a 25 dollar sandwich?
My review is based on an order placed via Goldbelly. Our order came with corned beef, pastrami, rye bread, coleslaw, pickles, potato knish, matzah ball soup, mustard and assorted rugelach.I dont even know where to start - everything was amazing and delicious and comforting all at once. My pastrami sandwich was easily the best one Ive ever had - the pastrami was on another level - expertly sliced thin and just melted in your mouth.....the rye bread sturdy but still soft with a slight chew to the crust and a depth of flavor that should make most rye breads hang their heads in shame.... the mustard creamy and rich with just enough tang - the perfect compliment to the meat and bread. And I believe Im officially addicted to Liebmans pickles now!This was also our first time ever trying a knish - I couldnt have asked for a better introduction to that bundle of pillowy carb-a-licious joy! The cole slaw was creamy, crunchy perfection. And the matzah ball soup.....I cant even find the words, so let that speak for itself.The hardest part of eating this meal is pacing yourself to completely savor and enjoy every last bite. Now if youll excuse me, I hear the pickles calling my name......
The best pastrami sandwiches in the bronx for $20 ( Not boars head)
Today I ate lunch with my family (a party of 5) and our experience was quite poor. There are a number of things we would like to share:1) They got every order wrong.2) We waited a very long time for our food, and at that moment it wasn’t particularly crowded so we are not sure what the delay was.3) They also took a very long time to bring our drinks, and needed to be reminded. The water was also quite warm.4) There was only one waiter serving all the tables. This is not his fault of course. Please hire more wait staff, especially during peak hours/weekends.
Service was terrible. when my boyfriend and I got potato pancakes, mine tasted stale and chewy, the waitress dropped the check with it still on the bill even after I told her something about it was off compared to my boyfriend it tasted bad. She told me there is nothing she can do. Only after asking if I could speak to someone, the cook came over to tell me “oh that’s because yours was microwaved”.The prices also are not correct on the menu. Would not go back unless they get a manager and staff who are organized and know how to work in the service industry.
Took my family out for my daughters birthday. food was delicious. Had the sweet potato fries an a chicken salad sandwich with garlic pickles and coleslaw. The gentleman came over with babka and a candle Everyone sang Happy Birthday. It was Fantastic.
Always good. First time back since before covid. Staff always accommodating.
Best pickles. Best pastrami sandwich. Best Cole slaw. We travel 4 hours just to eat their food. Its the best
A typical Jewish style deli. Lots of food. The sandwiches were piled high with meat. I only ate half of my sandwich. Took the other half home for my wife. My friend did the same. Was so much food. Clean place not many people out. In and fast.
Cant wait to try it, it was highly recommend by a Jewess that I recently met.
Sadly the quality of the counter staff has changed so has the quality and pricing $12.00 for a quart of matzoball soup. Counter staff did not know the difference between potato or noodle kugel. 4 hotdogs, 3 sodas, quart of soup, 1 potato kugel side $58.60. Needless to say my wife and I will not be going back anytime soon.
Good food but little on the experience side.Nice people and good service.
The deli is great, but they need to work on their delivery process a little more (the kitchen made one sandwich wrong despite the correct notes on the ticket and nobody bothered to check the order before sending it out).I suspect we would have had a much better experience in person, but COVID19 and all....If you do order from them online I’d suggest calling to confirm afterward. Not sure if it would have changed anything, but might have helpedUPDATE: This happened over a weekend and I was told someone in charge would call me back on Monday. Nobody ever called me. Take that for what you will....
I ordered 2 corn beef sandwiches and was charged $42. I thought she was making a bad joke but she was stone cold serious. What shock me even more was that the lettuce still had soil and the bread and corn beef was regular ..not outstanding like they claim. The 207th Broadway C-town corn beef sandwiches are huge and delicious & only $10 to $12 for 2 sandwiches. I will never return to be taken advantage of ... terrible experience here and disappointed.
The food is okay but what we found to be unexpected were the prices. $20 for a pastrami sandwich! Ouch! And that was only for the sandwich without fries or drinks.There was three of us that day and each ordered a pastrami sandwich with fries and a drink. Again there were no other extras. Total cost $108! WTH? Thats far more than Zabars on the Upper West Side (and Zabars pastrami sandwiches are by far superior).I really could not understand how they remain in business. Unless you were desperate I would go elsewhere.
My boyfriend and I love this place. Excellent service and food.
The food and service is amazing. The pastrami is exactly how it should be, moist succulent and cooked perfect. The coleslaw and pickles and the perfect pairs for any of their meals. Everything is fresh. Service was great. The servers were prompt and courteous. I frequent this place weekly. A must try.
This could be the archetype for the New York Jewish deli. Its a hike without a car, but for those who drive, theres a parking lot behind (youll have to walk around the block to the front door). Inside, friendly staff greets you and can regale you with stories as you eat on a slow, rainy day among the regulars. Of course the pastrami was excellent, and the matzoh ball in the soup dense and perfect. Even the humble hot dog shone, with a snappy casing and a bit of spiciness in every bite. Well worth a detour to see a bit of old New York.
I’ve eaten here many times, and the quality and quantity is unmatched. Half sours and their amazing coleslaw all day, plus toss in a pastrami sandwich with a knish. You’ll die a happy person.

Best corned beef in NYC, even better than Katz Deli in East Village-I hate to compare but that’s how more impressive Liebman’s Deli is. Grab yourself a loaf of challah bread to go as well, it’s sweet, moist and delicious!
Fantastic food and service. Love the menu. Exactly the old-school Jewish deli we were looking for.
They have very good food there. The employees have always been more then good at their job, & respectful all the way through.
Its no wonder why this place has managed to remain open all these years. Authentic Jewish deli. Best chicken salad and pickles. Welcoming neighborhood. Worth the trip.
This isn’t a remnant of the classic kosher delis, it’s the best of the best, equal to any of the celebrated greats. When you walk in, you’ll find it’s buzzing with activity, a clue that there is enough traffic to guarantee the pastrami will be perfectly steamed. After the crowd, you’ll be overcome by the intoxicating aroma of the franks, pickles and pastrami and the rest. These franks have the casing so they pop when you bite, just like back in the day. The deli case at the entrance is so perfectly arranged it’s a work of art that will have you salivating and considering options besides the giant melt in your mouth sandwiches. Im told they they cure and slow cook the pastrami themselves. The chicken soup is perfect but they can be a bit too generous with the noodles. It’s a theme at Liebmans- more than any human should ever eat but good luck stopping. This place can go head to head with any of the best delis you remember.
Food is good but a lot of food are discontinued now
Five of us had lunch today. They feature both indoor and outdoor dining under covered spaces. We ate outside in deference to higher risk of Covid friends. Service was friendly, attentive and reasonably prompt. We ordered outstanding noodles and kreplach soup, large pastrami sandwiches (enough even if split for two) and brisket sandwiches. They even have three flavors of diet soda.One dish to avoid—do not order the Mediterranean falafel or combination plates. Our friend found the salad snd the falafel very good but found the hummus, baba ganouche and other sauces pretty tasteless. Leave Mediterranean cuisine to Arab, Turkish and Greek restaurants.However this restaurant is a great find for authentic kosher style Jewish cuisine, the last deli of its type in the Bronx!
You cant die without trying the Pastrami Sandwich (or die trying) ... 1 order is enough for two diners
Amazing diner style deli. Pastrami and corned beef was amazing
The pastrami sandwich was good, but it doesn’t come close to KATZ’s Deli. The service was good. The dark acoustical ceiling tiles need to go!!!
Good service! Corned beef sandwich and falafel were superb! Pickles and homemade coleslaw were delicious! Posting this at 6am before murdering the other half of my sandwich! Lol
The food is always perfect, take out servers seem very indifferent. Ive been here 100s of times, lately it seems as though something its missing from my order, mustard, slaw or very small portions for the salad platter.Anyway best old world deli left in the Bronx.
IFYKYK, place is a landmark in the community. Great overstuffed sandwiches, potato knishes, stuffed cabbage rolls w/a savory sauce. Place isnt cheap.
I went to Liebmans for lunch with a friend. The pastrami sandwich was prepared just right and large enough to share. The matzoh ball soup was not salty and fresh. A fried potato knish was crispy. The sandwich was served wil lots of coleslaw and kosher pickles.Liebmans is a return to an era where a restaurant staff went out of their way to make us comfortable and happy. I will soon return
You cannot get a more authentic than this place. With famous delis like Katzs stealing the spotlight, spots like these are slowly dying out. The small restaurant looks like it hasnt changed since the 1950s, making for a cozy casual atmosphere.Outstanding service, perfectly crunchy and tangy pickles, and the deli meat portions are abundant and delicious.Worth the hike from any borough.
They made us wait for an hour for our order. Others came and went while I waited. No apologies when the food came - just a curt “your food is ready.” Then when I left they chased after me because they thought I hadn’t paid! Terribly organized and rude to boot.
I know it is Kosher, however, my husband ordered Pastrami on Rye and I had Herring with Bagel and Cream Cheese. Yes, you heard it right. My husband ate meat while I enjoyed my cream cheese next to him. Not sure how kosher this this. Food is either hit or miss. There are things that are wonderful and things that are not so great. But overall, this is a great stopover for a Jewish Family. I like this place.
Seriously DOWN HILL - This place is NOT what it used to be. I could say SO MUCH and explain it in full detail but whats the point? anyone who has been going to this place can SEE and taste what I am talking about. It is now a JOKE, a ridiculously expensive JOKE.
One of our local favorites. Great renditions of deli classics. A little pricey but portions are huge and quality is excellent. I am a matzo ball soup fanatic, and theirs is very good (traditional). Sandwiches are great, love the pastrami and corned beef, though the brisket is not my favorite here (its ok). The platters are good, Im a big fan of turkey Thanksgiving Dinner type platters and theres is the diner ideal. When youre in the mood, it really hits the spot. I wasnt as crazy about the meatloaf, maybe to big so it was too wet and heavy? But in general, very good.
I got matzoh ball soup, 1/2 roast beef sandwich, and a potato knish for $25. The food was decent, but not worth that much. Also, they charged 10.50 for the half sandwich and I only got 1 pickle.
Great food if you keep it simple when ordering. Stick to pastrami & brisket sandwiches, knish. Matzoball soup is just chicken broth and dry pre made matzo, potato pancakes are a fat greasy mess that has been refried. Wait staff is very attentive and friendly.
This is our second favorite place to get pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. You have to get the fries as well as the Dr. Brown soda. Slaw and pickles are delicious and servers are the best.
The best gravy in the world and the bread here is too die for! Ruben is my favorite and Akon the server is so funny and personable he’s great
Really really good sandwich!Thank you for delivering To Washington Heights! This is the best Deli in the area! By far!
Sat outside, server was excellent. Sauerkraut was salty, hot dog was nice but super small.
Decent pastrami sandwich, sour pickles were to soft for me half and half were good. They are very slow in taking orders at the togo counter, and it wasnt busy. Waiting for someone to say next felt like i was standing in line to use a public restroom.
It is clean. The food is great. Still the best hot dogs in the city, the matzoh ball soup is good and the pastrami is lean and full of flavor. These types of places will not last forever. Enjoy them while they are still there.
Amazing food! Try the pastrami, honestly the best Ive ever had and I have been to a lot of kosher delis in my lifetime.Our server was so nice, I hope you find him. He always said hed make something himself, salad or such. When my nephew got four small Black and White cookies for dessert he gave each of his parents, his uncle (me), and even my mother one. He was all smiles about it---leaving him one small cookie. Our server said he would do something special for him and brought over a large platter of big cookies allowing him to chose (he chose the one with all black sprinkles; good choice) one.The soup was wonderful, as was the potato pankcakes my mother shared. Great food, service, and open Christmas day :)
Its not Kosher, not that that matters to me. But the positive reviews here are fake. The place is quite filthy. The tables are greasy, the condiments are in dirty, greasy dispensers that look like they have never been cleaned, and the food is no better than low-grade commercial variety. My kids - and kids usually dont complain about cleanliness - refuse to eat there. So be advised. The positive reviews are just not true.
I have been eating here for years! I grew up with grandparents from Riverdale, father lived on 236th and have been coming in since FOREVER. I stopped in the other day for a quick soup as I was feeling under the weather. know that they dont have a GF option for the noodles I ordered a broth with 2 pickles and a small container of chicken salad (for my mother). I was charged 5.99 for broth, 5.00 for 2 pickles and 8.00 for my chicken salad. Im ok with the over paying for pickles and chicken salad as I have been over paying at this place for years and its my fault for going back. But 5.99 for BROTH. The bowl of soup with NOODLES is 5.49. Needless to say I will not be frequenting Liebmans any more. Its a real shame as I know 1. Its not Kosher 2. It was a highlight of my month to go get lunch there and finally the staff changed as I can see so did the integrity.
Decided to treat myself to lunch. I had split pea soup and a pastrami sandwich, it was delicious. On top of that I had a really kind waiter. I will be going back for sure
Reuben was on point. They charge extra if you want pastrami and corned beed. They give very generous portions of coleslaw and pickles for the table. Hot dogs were also solid but a bit pricey at $4.75The burger was terrible - no seasoning or any other add ons.
There shipping service is trouble they sent me a order and it was wrong called to talk to some about it and never got a call back manager all was out I would never order from this place again
Its a real old fashion Jewish deli with plenty of noodles in the matzah ball soup. Be sure to exercise your jaws before you bite into a corn beef sandwich. Its real mouth full. I love the place.
Lovely place the food 😋, take out or sit down.
Old school Jewish deli with great assortment of deli food, soups and dinner fare. The matzo balls are soft and fluffy and give a homemade feel. Their app makes for easy ordering especially on to go orders. Would highly recommend.
Its a Wonderful Deli and the staff is outstanding. Theyre pastramis delicious and their Derma is very tasty and so is their matzo ball soup.
This is a meat kosher restaurant, so not at all appropriate for vegans. Its not too great for vegetarians, either. Even the potato & kasha knishes have chicken stock in them. But the potato latkes were fantastic, the half sour pickles the best and the waiter we had was very attentive in a gruff sort of way. If you want a meat-stuffed sandwich, though, I bet you cant do better.
I’ve been going to Leibman’s since I was a teenager when it was owned by the Umansky’s, the 2nd owner. I didn’t have much of an appreciation for the quality of the food but it was always good. By the time the 3rd owner, Yose Dekel, owned the deli I was hooked and hoped it wouldnt change. It did not. It became a weekly staple to go and buy those amazing meats. Unfortunately, Yose passed away too young, but his son Yuval stepped up and filled these very large shoes. Yuval has maintained the standard of quality that he inherited.I travel from CT several times a year to get my fix of brisket, pastrami and other goodies, especially for the high holidays. Really, who wants to cook when you can get high quality food.The deli has a small entryway, and the line forms inside and out if you plan to takeout. It gets a little crowded. Some folks get “frustrated “ with the wait. All I can say is that the wait is worth it. You won’t get anything like this anywhere else.I wish continued success to Yuval and his family.L’shana tova.
Delicious! Overpriced? Well, sure. But delicious! Kosher meat is expensive, especially in NY so thats what youre paying for. If you come here go straight for the ethnic meats (corned beef, pastrami, tongue), have some cole slaw and a half-sour, then order a Dr Browns soda to wash it down. Everything else you can probably get someplace else :)
I have been a longtime resident of Riverdale, have frequented Liebmans deli. I recently purchased one pastrami and one corned beef sandwich, very lean, small portion of coleslaw and 2 pickles and was charge $ 42.75. I was appalled at the cost of this meal, especially being charged $ 3.00 for each sandwich because I requested lean meat. The prices have drastically increased, which explains why his clientele has thinned out considerably. The food is good and fresh but far too expensive, this is not Manhattan where these prices would be comparable too.
Wayyyyyy better than katz!!!!! The sandwhich could be a little pricey(about $17) but its so worth it, the amount of pastrami they give is alot and it melts in your mouth. I will be coming back alot more often. Also try the matzah ball soup taste just like my grandmas!
The food is amazing! The place is very clean and the staff is very friendly. Kind of pricey, but the quality and flavor of the food is unmatched!
Recently tried this place. Ordered a pastrami on rye. Dry, not a lot of meat and waiter was not at all friendly. Then went to Epstiens in Hartsdale for the moistest, biggest pastrami sandwich and friendly service. NO comparison!!! Will never go back to Liebmans!
If you enjoy adding 2 hours of uncertainty to your day, then order delivery from this place. If you enjoy patronizing an establishment where every other customer has priority over you, then order delivery from this place. I am not one of these people so unfortunately I cannot comment on the food. Its a shame because its one of the only Jewish delis up in this corner of NYC.
Ive been going to in Liebman’s Deli in Riverdale for over five years... at least once a week for soup & tuna & sit down dinners. I even use Grubhub to order from them a good $60 meal. So today I go in for my usual a 1/3 of pound of tuna, Mac, coleslaw & potato salad and a pint of chicken soup. I was told by the gentleman behind the counter that the minimum is half a pound of each, I said I get this ever week... He said is it the tall guy with long hair I said yes but Ive ordered from all of you. I said thank and left the deli for the last time... Well sadly I will take my business someone else. I will miss the food... Too funny it was my people behind the counter that declined my business.
The waiter was awesome and the food was delish I had a pastrami sandwich it was juicy
Food was excellent. Exactly what I was looking for. Service was good too.
Never order for delivery from this place. Over two hours of placing an order, and it still was not delivered. Wife and I called twice and got the same response of it will be there soon. This restaurant should not be in the business of delivering food if they cant deliver on time or for that matter, give truthful updates about when the delivery will occur. Will never order from here again!
I m sorry but I was disappointed .After hearing so much about the pastrami I finally got a chance to check it out yesterday when I ordered pastrami on a roll with mustard.To go .After getting to my destination I was totally disappointed.The meat was dried up and I was given mustard on the side as requested , pickles , and a cup of salad dressing but no salad or cole slaw ?????
So I have been going here for many years but honestly this location needs an update the seats are just not comfortable anymore and it looks dingy. Pastrami particularly and corned beef always satisfyingly delicious.
Pastrami was less than okay. They charged me $8 for a small serving of French fries. MGMT here should make some changes
One of the best Kosher restaurants in NYS located in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.
Every time Ive been here:1. The food is great2. The staff are kind, even when everyone is stressed out mid-pandemic on their lunch break3. I wish I lived closer!
A Riverdale Institution that has been delivering on amazing food for decades. In the event someone is looking for a tour of the neighborhood, pop in and grab some take out form this delectable small deli. Or sit down where there is lovely service and did I mention... potato pancakes?
One of the most underrated Jewish Delicatessens in New York City. A Riverdale, Bronx and NYC gem and blast from the past. Everyone that works there cares so much about the food they prepare and serve, its a shame the owner just died. Keep patronizing this restaurant so we never have to lament their closing. Order the pastrami, the babaganoush/hummus/matbucha salad platter, the matzo ball soup, the frankfurter, and anything else you can fit in your mouth!
One of the last places in the world to get classic kosher style deli. Soup is on point. Sandwiches are excellent. Sides are great. Please dont put mayo on any of the sandwiches. Its embarrassing.
Excellent food and atmosphere.
One of the only remnants of famous kosher restaurants in the Bronx. Really great food including Pastrami and brisket. Its always busy so service is sometimes lacking.
This spot offers great service and delicious food. One of the best place in the area. The meals arrived quick and the prices were economical. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.
Heavenly! Hard to find old school soul-satisfying food anymore, or a simple friendly diner like setting. Welcoming, down to earth, filling, real deal. My fav is the yummy mahtzo ball soup, perfect half sours and (lean) pastrami sandwiches, and other staples of all varieties, even delicious little proper Black & White cookies, etc. I like eating in but delivery on cold days is worth it- they get my order right every time and it comes quick.Other perks are a cool, mellow staff, parking easy to find on the block, it’s accessible by 1 train stop about 10 mins down the hill at 231st and a hop to the BX7 that takes only 3mins to reach a few blocks away, or grab a quick Lyft ride from either nearby 1 station station. Take your leftovers to go or pig out and walk it off strolling around the nice neighborhood and check out the wonderful old houses. A real gem this neighborhood!
The food may be wonderful. Called to place an order for delivery.after giving the order and the credit card information the girl saidThe order will take 1 1/2 hours OY! Why couldnt she tell me thisbefore I gave the order. Very very inconsiderate. She should havehad the courtesy to say were very busy 1 1/2 hours for delivery,is that okay, Of course I would have said thanks, but no thanks.Butmaybe would have to come to pick it up if she would have give me theoption at the beginning of the call.
A nice old time kosher deli .They didnt have a Half sandwich soup item on the menu. The item is favorite of mine available at most other Delis
One of the last of its kind. Our go to deli. From the second you walk through the door Leibmans Deli throws you back to a time when Kosher Delis were plentiful and everyone had a story or two to describe the incredibly delicious, high cholesterol offerings each one served.Sadly, those days are gone, but luckily the incredibly delicious, high cholesterol offerings are still served at Leibmans.Must trys:1. Pastrami...some of the best out there.2. Corner beef...forget lean, Kosher Deli and health food do not fit well together.3. Great Chicken salad4. Any soup of the day.
BEST Pastrami and Corned Beef EVER!! Must go and try...... beyond yummy 😋
I never ever write reviews, but today I feel strongly that it is necessary. Several reviewers have noted that this long-established neighborhood restaurant is not kosher. This is patently false. They cite that they could order a bagel with cream cheese alongside deli sandwiches. What they fail to understand is Liebmans uses PARVE cream cheese, which means that it is NON-DAIRY. I just came from there and took a snapshot of the menu confirming this (see uploaded photo from Liebman’s menu to confirm this). Get your facts straight before you slander an establishment.Liebmans has been a fixture in Riverdale since 1953, and is currently on its second family owning the establishment. That says volumes about its quality. We have been going there for over 50 years, since attending junior high across the overpass, when we would take a lunchtime treat and dash over and get a thick deli sandwich before returning to school. Do you think that Zagat would give Liebmans such a high rating if it were not a quality establishment? One more thing: Anthony Bourdain paid a visit a few years back. Google that, too, while youre at it. Nuff said.
Thought the sandwich was going to b a little hotter and cost more than I thought but nothing crazy special but good.Sevice was very good.
Late this evening, I went to Liebmans Kosher delicatessen to buy chopped chicken liver for a dinner that I am making in honor of my mother tomorrow night. Gladly I spoke in Spanish to the kind lady and gentleman who guided me in selecting all else that I needed for this special affair. Wheb I got home I tasted each and every item that they had suggested to me, snd it was superb! I cannot wait to serve mt dinner tomorrow, and many thanks to the owners, and the wonderful servers! Not to mention the cook! See you soon!
Very friendly staff! Quick service, clean restaurant. Please try the double stuff pastrami sandwich! The sandwich gives, Katz of manhattan nyc a run for a very good sandwich.
Everything about this place is authentic. The food was so delicious, and reminded my husband of his childhood. Best kasha and derma ever! Liebmans is worth the trip to the Bronx!
The absolute best deli in NYC. Ive been going with regularity for 15 years, since I was a small child, and it never fails to disappoint. I love the pastrami but some dont like it as fatty as they make it (the real style), but Ive never met someone who didnt swear the corned beef (my favorite) wasnt the best theyve ever had. Matzah ball soup is amazing as well, second only to my moms, as are the knishes, coleslaw, pickles, open brisket sandwich and flanken. As to the people who complain about their turkey sandwich being dry and their ruebens -- what kind of goyishe farshtucken bull is this?! This isnt weight watchers and a kosher deli cant serve a real reuben, it has Swiss cheese on it. You deserve your cruddy sandwich if youre dumb enough to go into a kosher deli and start ordering health food or meat with cheese; would you go to an Italian restaurant and ask for the chow mein?! Gevalt, only a schmuck could complain about such a thing. Go because places like this are practically a bubbe meise in New York and this is the best one.
One of the best pastrami sandwiches, pickles, and coleslaw.
Love this place.Portions huge Corned Beef world class.Great coleslaw and pickles.Matzah ball soup yummy..Don’t get here enough!
I simply like their food. I always get good customer service there. The place is well kept and the staff members are always very nice. Highly recommended.
I love everything I have ever had at Liebmans. The matzoh ball soup, the chopped liver, gifelte fish and a round potato knish are my favorites.
No need for details had pastrami sandwich and French fries its 5 stars as usual always has been. We have been going there many years
I visit this spot a lot since I work nearby. I have to say their service is always excellent and they keep the spot well organized regularly. Prices are affordable and they serve sizeable portions.
Great chicken soup to cure what ails you. Black and white cookies with good old hot dogs. Service was so kind and caring.
Not Kosher, most unfortunately.The food looks delicious and smells great, and the sign has Kosher in the most authentic Hebrew font.Perhaps they cook with kosher ingredients too.But: open on Saturdays and have no Kosher Certificate.Very sad, as Im newcomer to the neighborhood and wasnt aware of this deceiving situation. Stopped short of offering my observant guests a non-kosher Shabbat meal.Money wasted, food thrown away.
This place is great. Good food, excellent and fast service and staff, and everything else. Go with an empty stomach cause your gonna be filling up.
I started going here at four years old. Every Saturday afternoon before we made our pilgrimage to Macys to by meats from the cellar, we stopped for lunch here. My dad had two hot dogs with potatoe atop an order of fries and a Dr.Browns Cream soda. My moms norm: Corned beef on Rye and half the pickle tray. Me? MATZA BALL SOUP WITH a POTATO KANISH and a taste off of everyone s plate!!! Forty years and four owners later same quality, quantity and what do you know? Same pickle tray!!! Dave Wolfs is long gone only this and Second Avenue Deli left; the best Kosher Delis in New York. Smart enough to NEVER compromise!!! If it aint broke dont fix it!!!potatoe salad atop and an order of steak fries with a Dr. Browns Cream Soda, My moms norm: Corned beef on Rye; and me
Good Kosher sandwiches. I personally dont eat Kosher, or at least it is not that important to me, but my coworker does, and this is her proffered place when we meet every Tuesday.If you are into Kosher food, you are going to like Liebmans deli.
Personally Ive never been to this deli but a friend of mine placed an order of which I was going to pick up. Even for a miss understanding it is incredibly rude to hang up a phone by slamming it, we cancelled the order and went somewhere else. Their service is absolutely horrible.
I had a great Reuben here, although it was so tall my jaw couldnt unhinge enough to eat it like a typical sammy. Came with pickles and cole slaw and satisfied my hankering quite well.
Small shop in the middle of the block (**Ordered takeout during COVID-19 shutdown)Pastrami on rye - very goodPickles (half sour) - solidPotato knish (square) - solid
Delicious selection of Jewish soul food. Warm and friendly service.
Liebmans is your traditional jewish deli. The pastrami is passable (its no katzs, but its pastrami). They seem to have everything you expect from a jewish deli down to the Dr. Browns Cel-Ray soda. Its worth a trip if you dont want to trek into manhattan for jewish deli.
The City should make this place a landmark. There is no other place in the city like it, Teriffic homestyle Jewish deli. Great prices snd service They welcome you like family. Really !!. Highly reccommended
Good food and portions and service. A little pricey but hey, its ko-shar! Dated in decor but clean. A retro spot. I went with my 82 year old mother for lunch. Perfect spot.
Fabulous food . the chocolate cake is amazing! The sandwiches are amazing.. its just heavenly.
This is a great place to eat and get take out, it is somewhat of a blast from the past as many of the Jewish delis have closed. I would definitely recommend going here
Not kosher!!!!!. Kosher STYLE . They are open on the Sabbath. If you care about eating kosher do not eat here.YET THEY CONTINUE TO DISRESPECT THOSE WHO ARE OBSERVANT BY REPRESENTING THEMSELVES AS KOSHER WHEN THEY ARE NOT. THEY ALSO DECEIVE THE NON JEWISH PUBLIC.When a gentile salesman calls to order a catered meal for a Kosher client they tell him we are kosher but when the the client sees the Leibmans name they refuse to eat it-- ruining the meeting.
These guys have been nothing but very disrespectful in a german tv-show. Can Not say something about their food but on an arrogant scale from 0 to 10, they are 11.
A Bronx institution, you cant go wrong
Felix & Oscar were there in spirit. I ordered turkey to keep the sodium level down. The waiter asked me which turkey. One has more salt than the other. I never knew that.👍🏽👏🏼
We have been coming here for 30 years. Absolutely a gem in the Bronx. The food is delicious and the staff is exceptional
Good old fashion deli.Had s pastrami on rye. Priced a bit high for the portion but quality was very good
Love the place. Delicious matzo ball soup, half sours and pastrami sandwiches. Good wait staff and ambiance.
Great spot amazing staff delicious pastrami pickles !!
Excellent home-cooked meals. Always plenty to eat. We feel like family.
Number one pastrami spot in nyc.
This place clearly knows how to satisfy their customers. Regularly with a nice mindset. The food is conveniently priced, regularly fresh and neat.
Tasty and fresh food prepared largely on site. Good service. Best deli I have ever been to.
Better than Katz. Service was great. Pastrami basically melts in your mouth. Dont pass this little gem up.
Pricey sandwich was dry and fatty
A little slice of Jewish history. Delicious food with plentiful servings. Had the omelette with lox and was in love. Happy this place is in NYC. 😍
Best hotdogs ever! Loved the fries too, I was never really a fan of home fries until I tried theirs. Hands down best deli ever.
As usual, you cannot beat the great delicious deli food or the 2 best waiters around. A great family dinning experience.
It was a bit of a wait for the delivery, but it was worth it!! Everything was delicious? Got pastrami reuben, matzah ball soup, etc. YUMMMMM!!!
One of the finest cuts of pastrami Ive ever eaten. Were I to live closer, Id spend all my cash here eating cured meats!
A classic in the area, an amazing pastrami sandwich, and a vintage vibe. Love it
I enjoyed my pastrami rye and hot dog very much, but its ridiculously overpriced.
Delicious authentic New York food. Great service. Liebmans Deli is a neighborhood institution.
The new outdoor seating is great the service and food was great enjoyed lunch!
I must say the pastrami was very very good however $20 for a pastrami sandwich that really wasnt that big is nuts.
Delcious matza ball soup and the pastrami on rye is amazing. A little on the expensive side but the taste more.than makes up for it.
Best pastrami in NYC north of Houston St. Dont skip the fries! On-site free parking. Winning!
Very good pastrami and hot dogs in this traditional kosher deli. Open early enough for breakfast and late enough for dinner.
First time there and it was delicious. only outdoor dining, waiter was attentive
Fantastic food (make sure to try the superb matzah ball soup) and archetypical deli experience, but expect to wait 40 days and 40 nights for delivery.
Would definitely recommend eating here. Exceptional character, tasty food, fantastic service. Keep it up.
Excellent. Great frankfruters. Sandwiches delicious, huge. Love tbe pickles. Son in from San Diego. Went for lunch. The best!!!
This place is NOT kosher! No supervision at all. They claim to have kosher, non-glaat meat and keep milk products out. Such a disappointment.
Love this place people are always wonderful and the food is great. Im not Jewish and dont follow a kosher diet but I never miss going here whenever I get to the Bronx.
Great food a little long on getting food to take out.
LOVE LIEBMANS!!! The staff are very kind, the food is FANTASTIC and the restaurant is very clean. Forgot why I loved it so much, now I remember why
Awesome sandwiches ranging from $17 dollars and up . Can you guys and gals not decrease the sandwich🔥......😭 THANK YOU
Excellent Kosher deli. I highly recommend their chicken in a pot! Huge portions, delicious leftovers!!
I love this place. Great sandwiches, latkes, soups, stuffed cabbage, the list goes on and on.
Awesome corned beef and brisket. Potato salad out of this world. Chicken soup with matzo ball to die for. Highly recommended
Id give them a 4.5. Their food is sooo good but its also expensive and the food could come out more quickly. Friendly staff as well. It seems to be crowded all the time.
I almost cried when I found Liebmans . It was like going back in time. The food is great, and the memories it brings back is priceless.
Great food. If in the mood for corned. Beef or potato pancakes this is the place to go.
Establishment is open on Shabbos. The kosher supervision does not meet the minimal standards of Orthodox kashrus. If you keep kosher the name of this establishment may fool you. Dont let it.
Good food, but took a lot time to get seated because it is a small space and it took a long time for them to take our order.

2021-12-26We ordered here for dinner last night. The food from this place was excellent! We had the meatloaf, corned beef and pastrami, potato knishes and babka. Large portions and really fresh tasting food! Even leftovers were delicious. Definitely planning to order from here again.

2021-10-26We opted to try a deli that was not commercialized/overridden with Instagrammers! And boy are we happy with that!Liebmans is on the outskirts of the Bronx! A very nice little neighborhood, a bit of a drive of course out of New York City but well worth it.The smoked salmon is the best I have ever tasted! Kind of like a nova lox. It is so fresh, sweet, salty but mild. There was a lot of fattiness to the salmon which made it even tastier! Their sides are to die for as well, the potato salad was so masterfully seasoned.And onto their deli sandwich, stacked so high with nicely sliced pieces of pastrami! And they gave some delicious homemade mustard too. Great service, friendly staff, and felt very much like eating at home. Such a comfortable and inviting environment. So many locals you can see coming here, elderly ones that know exactly this is the place to be if you want a satisfaction guaranteed meal! Can’t wait till the borders open again so that I can drive here from Canada!

2022-01-31YUM-YUM melt in your mouth pastrami!! So good. I actually waited in my car for half an hour waiting for them to open because I didnt want to go anywhere else. Pastrami on rye with Russian dressing and a half sour pickle excellent. I cant comment on the other items because this is all Ive had. However they are expensive $19.99 for a sandwich.

2022-05-31This was my first time at this deli. It was recommended by a nice lady I used to work with, and I am impressed. The food was delicious!!! Does this deli sell the Pastrami by the pound? Im in! I am definitely coming back. But we wont get lost this time...and we live in the Bronx, can you imagine? 🙂

2021-10-24You really need come!! the texture of the brisket and the tongue is amazing! and with the flavor is a dream!
Review №8
2022-05-15Not cheap, but everything here is delicious. The pastrami sandwiches are lean. The rye bread is always soft. Their soups are yummy, whether lentil or chicken gumbo or mushroom barley.
Review №9
2022-06-26One of the few remaining old-school Jewish delis. Excellent pastrami, knishes, kasha, etc. I had the brisket recently and it was so tender! They are expensive but a couple times a year we say damn the cholesterol and $25 price for a pastrami sandwich...the post meal food coma is blissful...

2022-04-01I was so disappointed this week. I ordered a quart of matzo ball soup and asked for no noodles and no bread. My grandmother wasn’t feeling well and all she could get down was the matzo ball. They gave me 2 matzo’s and charged me $15. I couldn’t believe they didn’t put third one I questioned it but they ignored the question and the receptionist actually rolled her eyes at me. There were a lot of people there so I didn’t make an issue of it but a review was definitely necessary. I have been in the area since I was little and I’m sad that their customer service is at this level.
