Incredibly inconsistent. When it is right, everything is fantastic.
I order from here frequently in the past 2 to 3 years. We do it at my job, so it's not really my choice. I've had it, roughly 30 times. Of that number, I've gotten everything I've ordered and am supposed to get half of the time. When I do get everything, there's another 25 percent chance that something on my (or someone else's) sandwich or hoagie is wrong. They're always understaffed. Please check your food directly in front of them when you order to make sure it's right.

The food is good but unfortunately, the service is horrible. We were the only one's in the place and it took, 40 minutes to receive our food and parts of it, were cold. One of the staff sat at the counter and continued to throw out, the "F" bomb. You do have good food you just need a manager that, will make sure that things run as they should. Very disappointing.

Between the amazing manager who introduced herself promptly, the exceptional cook, and speedy service what's not to love? Try the Mother Grill Cheese on your next visit, you won't regret it! Plus plenty of beers on tap, and If that don't strike your fancy then check the coolers. Found myself some sour beers and fell in love with the one from Terrapin called Gummy Bear, I think? Thanks to Kelly and everyone there for making my visit worth the trip!

Goldstein's definitely isn't like the delicatessens I remember growing up on Long Island but it is significantly better than the typical sandwich shops you find in this area. They use quality brands for f cold cuts and have numerous cold sides. I was a little disappointed with their knishes but other than that I'm always happy with the quality of their sandwiches. They make an outstanding Ruben with nice cuts of corned beef, sauerkraut and Russian dressing. They also stock a large amount of craft beer as well as some unique hot sauces and mustards. They also make some very good breakfast

First time experience....Last time experience....
Feeling a little crabby today after I ordered the "Crab Cake" burger, which had NO crab cake on it.
The disappointing sandwhich was supposed to have what they say to be an 8oz Grade A Slab of Beef (tasted like a burnt piece of rubber because the waitress never asked how I wanted it cooked), an egg over easy with extra eggshell, you got it, hollandaise sauce lots of it and a Non-existent Crab Cake.
The bricoche bun was falling apart because the CHEF soaked it in hollandaise sauce prior to forgetting the Crab Cake.
For a few bucks

Okay so.... the service at this place was unacceptable. Two waitresses walking around trying to figure out which way is left and which way is right. We sat for about 20 minutes before even being asked if we needed anything. I had to approach the bar and request menus for the table. The place wasn't even busy. I would like to see how they operate with a full house. The food came out rather quick but wasn't anything special. I ordered the large pretzel appetizer and parts of it were still frozen. My main meal was the drunken French dip it was okay but, rather tasteless. My buddy ordered

Visit #2 was a few days ago with my mom. It was great.
For $9, I got the same breakfast as last time... a dinner plate filled with 2 slices of smoked ham, 4 pieces of bacon, a sausage patty, a pile of home fries (you can choose to have them with or w/o onions & green peppers... I opted for none), 2 eggs & 2 thick slices of toast. As delicious as the first time.
My mom got an $8 special... corned beef Rubin on rye... & loved it. According to their online menu, it's a regular special. You can also choose pastrami or turkey instead. It came with 1/2 pickle... fries & coleslaw

Here's the thing. Love the food, love the brunch, but service can be very poor. There's a nice gentleman with a beard who is WONDERFUL as well as a nice younger girl that both work Friday nights/ a sweet "mom" type woman on weeknights. Every time I've gone with a group they kinda try to rush you out. They bring over the check when people are still finishing drinks. The brunch workers haven't been pleasant anytime I've gone. Will not continue brunching there.

Found this place a few years ago. Whenever I am in Kingston, this is my "go-to" spot.The food is simply outstanding.
My favorites are the Funky Philly, Goldstein's special, and the three cheese steak jus. Soups are excellent, as are the desserts. I've been there dozens of times and have yet to be disappointed.
The bottled beer selection is one of the best in the region.
Solid place.

OK first off to call this place a deli is laughable, it's a sub/ sandwich shop, not a deli!
They use cold cuts not actual roasted turkey, real corn beef, or Pastrami!
But where they excel is in their beer selection, and Strombolis and wings!
The cheesesteak boli is delicious, as is the Deli Boli!
Service is hit and miss, it gets busy, so you can sit at the bar with an empty beer glass for quite awhile, but overall it isn't horrible!
Great Bolis and Wings and great beer, yeah sign me up!

Just not impressive... been here in the past and the food was great. Now, it's just ok. Sandwich was good, soup was edible, macaroni salad was atrocious, and the homemade chips were good but i wanted it as a side to my sandwich not a full platter worth... now i know what to expect here and won't be back when there are far better places in the area...

Overpriced and not well prepared food. It is upsetting because this place has so much potential, but we are consistently disappointed when we go back.
Our order of homemade chips with crabby seasoning was so over seasoned we actually returned it. We were then mocked by one of the employees because we couldn't "handle" the spice. However, that was not the case. We have had these chips many times, and this particular order had entirely too much seasoning.
The pizza, which is usually a safe bet, was terrible. It was overcooked, and the sauce was not its usual sweet deliciousness
