Ive been down here for over 27 years. Originally from the Bx. Ive been to loads of joints. All in all the two top one are Pomperdale and Zinger’s. These truly are real NYC Kosher Style Delis. They aren’t bagel stores. Though not in the same class, I also like Ben’s and Poppie’s. If you are talking bargain stuff, you got 3 G’s, but that’s strictly for the crowd that’s looking for quantity.
Zinger’s has my heart. I miss Pumpernicks in Miami and their great owner Charlie Bookbinder, who passed away many years ago. They don’t make them like Charlie!
The Rascal House use to be the place. It died a pitful death when the dopes from Jerry;s Famous Deli took over and ran it into the ground.
Zinger’s and Pomperdale are today’s main players.
I didnt know that those idiots from Jerrys bought Rascal house.When they opened in Boca I ate there and was somewhat disappointed. My grandparents loved the original one in Miami Beach. One thing you have to think about is the NY people and many jews like a good deli and know what they like. Non jews are not always into the deli scene so things have to be a little more mainstream as far as the menu an such.

Gregg- I posted and then read your post. Well stated. And non jews are really not into the deli thing. It is not hip enough. If somebody could satisfy the hardcore deli people and those who have no clue they could make some major $$$.
My name is Jeff. I was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. Since 1991, I have lived in South Florida and have eaten in so many restaurants down here, that I now consider myself to be a food expert.

Zinger’s and Pomperdale have QUALITY meats etc.
Too Jay’s in WPB is very good.
Pastrami Club in Lauderhill is excellent.
3 G’s in Delray is terrific.
Also like Nestor’s in Boca.
Zinger’s has my heart. I miss Pumpernicks in Miami and their great owner Charlie Bookbinder, who passed away many years ago. They don’t make them like Charlie!

zingers and pastrami club
ben’s is the best
watered down soup. . skimpy thick sliced meat but the rye is good ..TooJays has good sandwiches.. the dinners ok
zinger’s has the best food.
then comes pomperdale. then comes ny big apple.
Zingers
I’m with you, Zinger’s is definitely the top deli in the area.
Jeff
My favorites
Zingers
Pomperdale
Pastrami club
Pomperdale is the best of them all. Ben’s has gone downhill and I don’t feel pastrami club should even be in the same sentence.
i love zinger’s in boca and pomperdale in ft lauderdale.
zingers food is very good
dont care for the decor
but the food is very good
put me down for pomperdale, sage
One thing I know for sure is that too jays sucks.
