Jersey boy looking for a good cheeseteak in town. Came here because of the rave reviews. Highly disappointed. The pictures showed a nice meaty cheesesteak which is whatnI was expecting. Paid 11 bucks for a little bit of meat and bread. I mean really? Wasn't bad but if your charging 11 bucks make it like the picture.

Meh - I had high hopes for this place after reading so many great reviews.

We've been on the hunt for great NY-style bagels -- this place just didn't deliver on the promise.

The bagels were ok -- didn't seem that fresh to me and they did not have blueberry bagels. As a New Yorker, I know I am picky about bagels and pizza. Super picky.

On top of not loving the bagels or their selection, the place just felt dirty and stale to me. Staff was pleasant.

It's not on my list of places to return.

I went to S&L for breakfast recently and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I had 2 scrambled eggs, home fries and bacon. The food was well prepared and most important, the owner treats every guest like family. This will be a regular spot.

The line doesn't wear mask. Well, they wear chin diapers. Whats the point? Just in case health inspector I guess. Also, NY quit using styrofoam a minute ago.

Jesus Christ this place is good. Straight out of New York. Every bit of my food was SOO enjoyable. The deserts were incredible, best cheesecake ever. Can't wait to go back again and again. Our waitress was so personable. Felt very homey and like an authentic NY spot. 10/10

Ewwwww don't waste your time this place was gross. Came for the corned beef/ pastrami, was disappointed. Staff inside didn't really care that anyone was there either except for the waitress outside.

Overall, pretty decent. Hit them up on a very busy late summer Saturday morning and we were lucky we got a parking spot out front (they have maybe 10 spaces). Ordered ahead over the phone to try and make it fast and easy upon arrival and after being put on hold for about a minute, our order was taken.

I got the Ranchero steak, eggs, onions, cheese, and green peppers breakfast burrito. It was tasty! I actually really liked it and though it didn't seem huge, it did have 3 eggs in it and a decent amount of steak, so I actually got 2 breakasts out of it (but I'm not a big eater like

This adorable gem in Wilmington was a BLESSING to stumble upon during our Saturday morning errands! My wife and I are originally from New Jersey and were beyond pleased to find out that they have Taylor Ham here! The food exceeded our expectations and the staff was incredibly friendly. We are excited to say that we are making S&L our forever Saturday morning breakfast stop! This wonderful restaurant truly feels like home.

Today is June 5, 2020 and S&L has dine-in service now. Every item is amazing. We usually order the Ed and the Ron. Grits are mouthwatering. Hubby orders a bialy no matter what else he gets. Quiches are always delish. Take a dessert to go; bread pudding, cheesecake, brownies are mouth watering, and homemade. Service is lightning fast and staff warm and gracious.

This place was great! Very friendly staff. It was the day before Easter and the owner gave each of the kids an Easter egg with M&Ms.

I had the Crazy Jay sandwich and would definitely recommend. The smoked salmon on the sandwich was really good, but the combo of salty and sweet from the bagel and maple cream cheese made it even better.

They do have gluten free options and seem to be knowledgeable about gluten allergies.

As an added bonus they have a salt scrub in the bathroom.

Great spot for breakfast and brunch. Open til 3. Came on a Monday morning and seated right away. Gluten free option was good. Eggs were good and toast was tasty. Fresh avocado slices and tomato slices too. Great prices and fast service. Daily specials. Clean restaurant and restrooms.

I really meant to take a photo of my sandwich (the Godfather), but by the time I'd thought of it, all that was left was some crumbs. I did count my fingers as well; still have 10. Great service and I arrived during the lunch rush (crazy busy, but that is always a good sign). The aromas that greeting me had my mouth watering even as I walked in; whether take out or eat in, the service is great and very efficient.

There was a deli I frequented while at Sub Base Groton in New London (no longer there...I checked), the proprietor of which would supply me with boxes of yummies to take to sea
