This Kosher deli / bagel shop / restaurant has been a staple in Germantown and East Memphis, with a steady stream of patrons from breakfast through lunch.
The tables are crammed into the space, but few care, as most folks in this true neighborhood favorite know each other already; if you don't know your neighbors at the next table, trust us when we tell you that you will by the end of the meal.
Huge omelets and potato skillets are the breakfast specialty (of course bagels are, too) and the sandwiches and wraps at lunch come with pasta salad, potato salad, coleslaw or chips. We're especially fond of the turkey melt, which is stuffed full of mushrooms and green peppers on top of the turkey and cheese, with a tangy honey mustard giving it a bit of a sweet finish.
