It is what it is-it's great – We love visiting NYC, and every single time we go to the Stage-it's a tradition. The food is awesome, service is usually very good, and it's just so New York. For my family a visit to NY without going to the Stage would feel wrong! We love the atmosphere.

Waaaay Overhyped – I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great, but they've mistaken quantity for quality. I'd much rather have 1/4 the amount of meat with proper sides and presentation.

Now that's a lot of Pastrami! – This place was recommended to me by a friend who went to New York. Thumbs up on this recommendation, it proved to be a wonderful place to eat lunch. Wait staff was helpful and friendly. Loved the pickles they give you. Meat piled high to the sky. It was very crowded but that only added to the atmosphere in this great little deli tucked in the sprawling streets of New York City.

Great Pastrami – Best pastrami I have ever eaten. My wife had the brisket dinner and it was terrific also. The service was average and seating a little cramped. But I would definitely reccomend it.

Carnegie's Queue too long?!!.... – As the queue for Carnegie's Deli refused to diminish over the course of a couple of hours, we headed walking downtown and came across Stage's Deli. A short queue, and we were seated. I ordered a huge sandwich named after some actor who apparently selected the ingredients personally! Sandwich was great, and the place had a good vibe about it. It was bustling with character. We were a little cramed on our table, and my girlfriend's burger wasn't that exciting, but I enjoyed the experience. Se... read more

Bad to worse – Thought I would give this place another chance after a VERY mediocre (I'm being generous) first go...but the service and food left a lot to be desired. Prices were incredibly inflated for such low quality curing. Take your hunger and money elsewhere!

Appalling – I regret having patronized this place. $50 for a mediocre lunch with the added pleasure of being treated more rudely than I have ever been treated in my entire life. Apparently, some people think that it's "charming" and "so New York" to get treated so rudely, but it's NOT. When you're paying good money, you should be receiving good food and good service. The pastrami was mostly fat, and the chicken soup was a brine with a few floating pieces of raw, pink chicken.

huge portions, great food – Stage Deli serves monster sandwiches, but to be honest, so do most NYC delis. Plus, you do pay the price for the sandwiches (expect to take home leftovers). Nevertheless, I really did enjoy the corn beef/pastrami sandwich. The mish mash soup is excellent though I don't like how they charge extra for sharing, though again that is common with other NYC delis as well. Service was friendly and courteous. There was a crazy lady in the restroom, but hey, it's New York! The only true negative is the cram... read more

Horrible! – It's the worst breakfast I have ever had! The food was inferior and they have the decency to charge you $12 for eggs and sausage that are not remotely close to being good. For that amount, they still charge you $2.50 for a cup of coffee. The sausage even tasted old. Don't ever go there for breakfast.
