Good food, they also offer private party rooms
Traditions is my favorite place to get a burger! Their food is consistently delicious. They follow instructions to the T. The staff are beyond nice, and the party room is incredible. Definitely recommend!!
Once an eatery says that they don’t do something because of the price then you know that you entered the wrong place. We did not got out to eat to worry about price structure. I look forward to their phenomenal stuffed chicken however it’s off the menu because the spinach is to expensive. Then stuff it with egg barley . Unacceptable and not interested in going back.
Just awesome! I ordered there house steak medium It is succulent delicious served with grilled onions blooming onions and a diet Dr brown black cherry. A perfect afternoon....
They used to have great service and food. I would always eat here when in town. They open at 11 and I got there at noon. I had to go up and order my meal because there were no servers. I sat there for a half hour and no food or place setting in evidence. I got up and left but first had to ask them to void the charge because they had obviously been prompt about charging. I dont know what happened to this place or why it became so rude, poor service. no food!
Great salad! Server seemed new but polite. Food was plentiful and really yummy!!
Excellent food. Good ambiance. Affordable menu. Quick service. Solid meal destination for lunch or dinner. Party room in the back was available when we went, to accommodate our large party.
I was very impressed with the weight service. They bent over backwards to try to serve us. Also, the portion sizes were very generous. I really believe, that at this place, you really do get your moneys worth. I would definitely go back again and again. We were very happy.The waiters all wore masks and handled the food very well. The seating was spread apart reasonably well so that we were socially distanced. It was an easy walk to the parking lot as well.
Let’s just say I’m making it a tradition to never go back. The food is good quality, but the choices are basic and bland. The pickles and coleslaw they give to you for free are pretty solid. The acoustics are horrid, as you can’t here yourself think. Tables and people are packed like sardines in one room. They should expand there sitting area and keep a distance between tables and make closed booths as well. The booth seats are too far away from the table making for an akward sitting. Overall the food is pretty solid but nothing too cry hole about. If your going with young kids it seems fine but if your going on a date or to have a quaint meal go somewhere else.
I use this restaurant catering of our annual holiday staff party. They are really great and the food is fantastic.
Food was delicious, prices were great.
Very nice place to host a evening affair with 50-60 people!
Awesome American food
Service was fine.Food was not.
Make sure not to come in here when it very busy and packed. They tend to work fast and carelessly and give you food drenched in oil.
Thank you.wonderful service for vort. plenty of food.
Varied deli menu. Kosher fairly priced. Know kids burger good deal still fresh and tasty
Nice for Thanksgiving but turkey was very dry. Too bad they didnt offer deli that day
The food was generous-- I enjoyed the pickles and cole slaw. They were understaffed and it took them a long time to serve us. Inside it was very loud and we could hardly hear each other; we asked to take our food outdoors, which was much more pleasant.
You cant go wrong here. Every item is delicious. Extremely friendly service.
It was great fondant very tasty
Great food, great service, family friendly, great prices, our favorite place for a family dinner outing
I went there with a group of twenty people. They were glad to help us get seated and made us feel comfortable. The service was great. We had a sweet and quick waiter who ensured that we got all of our orders. They allowed us to bring in some hard alcohol to liven up our party. Best of all, food was great at a very reasonable price. A definite return!
The menu writer has a vivid imagination
If you go here you have to be in the mood to eat! The food is excellent with fair sized portions. The restuarant itself has a cafeteria feel to it but with excellent service. The wait staff is top notch and seem a little tired towards the end of the day but they are very attentive. Love it... been there before and will be there again!
Nice place to dine. Fancy enough yet not too pricey.
I like to go with friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I visit this place often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the cooking is great and the crew is attentive and cooperative. Every time we eat in this place we enjoy a lovely time. I recommend this place with pleasure.
We had reserved a big group of about 45 people. We used one of the back rooms. The service was excellent and the staff waited on us hand and foot. The food was delicious and came to the tables exactly when we asked for it to be ready. Highly recommended!
Great food at a great price!Came here with my wife to eat and we had an a amazing time as the food and service were spectacular. I ordered a double pastrami burger and she had a Pastrami Kiev. Aside from the generous portions, it was delicious! Well be coming back here again and again!
Good traditional kosher food. Nice staff and pretty ambiance for a deli style restaurant. I liked it and would return
Excellent family restaurant. Great service on an extremely busy Sunday. Steak, chicken with stuffed spinach, chicken popper, oversized Hamburgers, and marinated grill chicken got great reviews from very fussy eaters. Certainly one of the best values in the New York metro Area.
The food was great, there was so much I had to take my burger home.
Always a pleasant experience, family-friendly, excellent glatt kosher deli/restaurant. The menu combines elements from different cultures and cuisines. Affordable pricing, generous portions, and very good service. Will be back soon.
Good food, a bit pricey but it was worth its quality and service
This place is amazing! My family and I had an amazing Thanksgiving turkey dinner. The turkey and the stuffing was out of this world. This restaurant even gave out free swag with their logos printed on it on the way out. Figit spinners, hand sanitizer, water bottles, and phone grips were among the swag they gave out. I highly recommend this place for special occasions and casual eat outs.
Mmmmmm! Good food and drink. Especially great service. 8out of 10.
Waiter service; weekday lunch specials at unbeatable prices; waiter service; take out. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food tastes good every time. The waiters and waitresses are always pleasant and friendly.
Delicious food, friendly staff and great place to host an event. Been to many Bat Mitzvahs, family reunions, anniversaries etc. here.
They make the best corned beef. I should stop there because, really, what else matters....but they do have other great qualities.This place is a classic old restaurant, slaw and pickles on the table, great big menu (think Mr. Broadway.I have found the food always amazing. If you come in middle.of the afternoon and you want sit down service you may have to flagdown am employee and tell them but thats really not a big deal. They get 5 stars for thier ambiance, great food, consistency and being exactly who they are....not a highfalutin Steakhouse but a great restaurant.
Did not have a great experience on the two visits I made. Food is good but service need a serious improvement. 4 out of the 5 people I was with received the wrong order, food was cold or way too late.
Traditions Eatery & Catering in Lawrence. Dinner (Sunday night). The Central Avenue: Hot fatty pastrami, chopped liver, Cole slaw, red onion and Russian Dressing. Mouth watering good, especially if you love chopped liver.The French fries very crispy and delicious, and (from what I was told) the pastrami sandwich one rye is delicious.Open late, great friendly and quick service.
The new rooms added on are terrible. They put our table of 6 in a room with a birthday party of 25. After complaining multiple times about the noise nothing was done. When I complained a third time, the manager laughed. Wont be coming back anytime soon.
What a great restaurant !The ambiance is warm and modernthe food is excellent, traditional with a contemporary touchThey even make theyre own deli !Scott and Dave are real gentleman always making you feel at home .
Old style kosher deli. Hard to come by these days but definitely had a great experience. Food was tasty. Service was fantastic.
Food was delicious. Excellent service.
My husband loves this place!
This spot knows how to please their clients. Constantly with a very nice mindset. The food is fairly priced, always delicious and clean.
The best of the best Kosher food has to offer. It’s the food that got me over and the service that got me coming back for more! To sum up Traditions in one word, consistently great! Ok, that’s two.
Good food. Good prices. Their catering is also very good. They also sell cold cuts by the pound often times cheaper than the local supermarkets.
She got the cob salad. I had the chicken breast with spinach. The kid at the table next to us had thick fries that looked really good.
Thank you Traditions! The Shabbos Special saved our Shabbos!!
Beautiful deli restaurant. We attended a function in a private room in the deli. The food was delicious, the ambience was very pleasant and the service outstanding.
Came here a few times. Food was very tasty. Prices were a bit high. Wait for service can be long at certain times, like the night before Passover.
Amazing food and ambiance. Was priced well. Food came more or less right away. Will definitely be coming back.
Tried this place in the past with a friend and I am addicted ever since. I loved the great character and yummy dishes and beverages. Fantastic work.
Excellent food. Large portions. What more could you ask for? First time there, but Ill be back.
One of my go-to places to eat. excellent location, clean, and fantastic customer service. A must try!
Great overstuffed deli sandwiches, fried chicken, matzo ball soup
Amazing service and the food is really good. It is the perfect nice restaurant yet kid friendly so you get the best of both worlds
The locals love this place and now I know why! Try the roast beef on rye, cold. Use the Russian dressing that comes with it. Trust me.
Solid food. Good service. Decent pricing.
This restaurant is a little noisy but at least they have good food. The menu is on old iPads locked into the restaurants menu app. Unfortunately, this restaurant is very crowded and hard to find an open seat for a little breath. This restaurant needs to be more Autistic friendly.
Great food. They have a very good cheap lunch special that is all you can eat hot poppers and fries.
Great kosher food for a very good price. Nice place for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
I come here to attend a monthly women’s shiur, eat great food and enjoy good conversation. I always get the vegetable soup, chef salad with turkey and roast beef and sweet potato “fries” better than anywhere else.
Had a great deli sandwich. The kids all loved their burgers. Baked cauliflower and zucchimi appetizers. Very nice staff
Delicious food, pleasant service, excellent ambience outside, incredibly large portions, reasonably priced
Great service but the pastrami wasnt as soft and tender as I expected!
Excellent, fair priced.
Its been a couple of years. The food is still of good quality. I was surprised the dining room was so full on a Tuesday night. Then again, it usually is.
Chicken Gumbo soup, grilled baby chicken with grilled vegtables all excellent. Hot chocolate souffle a little rich. Apple Strudle light fresh and fresh apple filing great.
Good food and good party room. Solid restaurant.However delivery is very slow and they forgot to make our food
Great food and ambiance. Good for a date night or a full blown party. Portion sizes are fantastic!
Very nice place with great food. Super Cool Staff.
Ok food. Reasonably priced. 3 of us get 2 dinners and an app and share. Its usually enough. Service is horrible tho.
Best HOT salami sandwich. Good Matzo Ball soup. Decent extra large Blooming Onion.
Food was poor tasting , false advertising in what is on menu vs. what they offer in the restaurant really bad service we received tried to speak to management and no cares given by them about anything spend your money else where!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was here for an event. The food was good. The table was set nicely. Solid choice for a place to eat.
Amazing meal. Reasonable prices. I have been to many events they have catered and the food is always great.

2022-05-31Food, service, and value for cost were excellent. Acoustics were terrible, you hear all the chatter from all the other guests and have to strain to hear the actual person you came to spend time with. Tip: if there are no events in their event space, they can seat you there and its nice and peaceful, ask for that! Anyway, the food is consistently great and they are very willing to customize your order, they really pay attention.

2020-02-10This was the first time here for my boyfriend, his Dad, & me. We LOVED it! The food was fresh & tasty. They had hot pastrami sandwiches on rye & split a potato knish, & I had the grilled Mediterranean chicken panini with freshly cut sweet potato fries...which tasted like they were baked! 😋 None of us could finish what we ordered, it was too much. (But note, we filled up on the complimentary fresh pickles & coleslaw--which was NOT drowning in mayo. 😋) As we waited for our orders, we observed what others around us were eating...gigantic steaks, burgers, grilled veggies, & the blooming onion--everything looked amazing!! The dining area was clean & neatly arranged. Our waitress was very helpful & attentive to us. I would this place five stars if they served organic food. We will definitely go back.

Review №8
2018-02-12Great service everytime. Beware however, Sunday nights are busy with many large groups over four - so lock in that reservation you will need it.The house steak ($40) was a pleasant surprise. And the baked sweet potato was just what little Irving needed.
