The Essen Room - Pikesville

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious! Be sure to try the Jewish or Pastrami Cheesesteak, but you can never go wrong with a hot Corned Beef sandwich. The service is excellent, with attentive servers who bring your food to your table. They also have seating available, making it a great spot for a lunch date. I highly recommend trying this place!

The pickle bar at this restaurant is a nice addition, with large sandwiches made with fresh bread. However, the prices are typical of New York City, with sandwiches and a side costing $20 and an additional $4 to substitute fries. The food is decent but not outstanding. The brisket was tender but not very flavorful, while the corned beef was tasty and lean. The potato salad is average, and the potato pancake was too thick and pasty in the center. The pickles were all good except for the half sour, which tasted like mildly salted.

I had a strong taste for a good corn beef sandwich. Well this sandwich hit the spot. Plus I bought a slice, big slice of coconut cake. So much love was made with this cake. I will visit again. Thank you for your awesome hospitality.

The staff at this restaurant is extremely friendly and they offer all the classic Jewish deli options and combinations. While the restaurant is not Kosher (they serve cheese on meat sandwiches), the food is absolutely amazing. Their pastrami, corned beef, lox, and turkey pastrami are all outstanding. The matzo balls in their chicken noodle soup are the size of softballs, and some of the best I've ever had. We took our 95-year-old Jewish family patriarch there for Father's Day and he was thrilled.

This is an awesome delicatessen. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Great customer service! The best place to get corned beef, pastrami, turkey, shrimp salad. The desserts are delicious and pickle bar has tasty selections. The catering is excellent as well. The sandwich trays I recently ordered were perfect and came with sides, pickle tray, coke desserts, paper products. The guests loved the food!
