Times Square Restaurant

I live right around the corner from Times Square, and have been a few times many years ago but never particularly had the desire to go back besides random take out burgers every once in a while. We decided to try out the corned beef sandwich here, since we’d heard good things. we’ve certainly been missing out! The sandwich was stacked high with corned beef on this marvelously tasty bread. It tasted fresh and flavorful, one of the best I’ve had. We asked for coleslaw instead of sauerkraut on it– which was done as requested. Always love when the kitchen gets the order perfect and goes above and beyond to make it taste great too. We also requested a few sauces since we got some mozerella sticks too, and they gave us everything we asked for. A lot of places forget those things, so it was appreciated! We’ll be back :)

This is a decent local restaurant with average food except for their corned beef sandwiches, which are unusually good.

Stopped in for dinner. Both of us had a burger which was good. Our waitress was great very attentive.

After reading the other reviews, I wondered if we were talking about the same place! We are new to the area (July 2014) and ventured in one evening. We had no idea what to expect. Our server was delightful. I ordered a sandwich that was piled high with corned beef and pastrami — as good as I have ever tasted in a Jewish deli! My S/​O ordered an omelet. Both meals were scrumptious, huge and fed us for a few more days at home. Our drinks were kept full. We found the prices to be more than fair considering the portion size. We have since returned at least twice a week, have ordered a wide variety of dishes, and have yet to find something we don’t enjoy.
The other reviews are dated more than a few years ago. I’m thinking maybe things have changed, but Times Square is very high on our list of favorites! Well worth a try.

When I need my pastrami fix, their carry out satisfies my craving. Their Al Pacino #3 is absolutely huge! Piled high with a ton of lean pastrami on a chewy double baked thick cut rye, it is enough to share if you get a side item. You get a nice juicy pickle wrapped up with your sandwich. No other menu item is needed if you eat the entire sandwich. Definitely a food coma once you have finished it. Prices are reasonable. Have had other menu items there, but the pastrami sandwich keeps bringing me back!

Joined my parents here for dinner. They frequent this place because it’s within walking distance from their house. The food is not the greatest. It’s one of those family diners that has everything on the menu… so they take no time to perfect anything. I got the California health plate, and the fruit was all canned… just kind of lame. I’ve seen fish sticks that look like a mountain of batter with hardly any fish in them… and garlic bread so hard it could take a tooth out. Childrens spaghetti was canned… I would try one of the other places Romeo has to offer in the village. Their breakfasts aren’t bad though… that I will give them… maybe they should close up right after lunch…

Positives: Nice big portions, good atmosphere, clean… That’s about it. Food is sub par, waitresses could be nicer, food tastes like it comes out of a box, which it is at least the pierogis definitely were. If it had more of the family owned feel it would turn out to be a much better restaurant. A bit pricey for the quality of food and service also.

So we are a tough crowd when it comes to breakfast. We’re totally spoiled — if you want to know why check out my review of Rex’s in San Pedro, Cal — so today’s breakfast outing was really a let-​down. The fruit plate was mainly canned fruit, and even though the local fruits won’t come in for another month or two, there’s still plenty to be had from other parts of the world. However it was a good variety of fruit and a big portion and had a sliced hard-​boiled egg also. The pancakes were good, but we ordered blueberry and they came plain. The waitress told me she’d bring it out «on the side» (apparently it’s just a blueberry topping) but then told me they were out of blueberry stuff. I guess nobody told them blueberry pancakes are supposed to have blueberries cooked in them. I ordered a spinach and broccoli omelette and the broccoli was either past its prime or scorched… either way it was bitter and not very appetizing. Also my toast was burned and my hash browns were brown on top but undercooked and a little dry in the middle. They have tons of pastrami on the menu so if you like pastrami this might be your ideal breakfast spot (for a pastrami omelette!) My husband had pastrami hash and said it was good, but it was basically hash browns (instead of the traditional cubed potatoes) with cubed pastrami tossed in and I thought the hash browns were woefully undercooked. My mom was happy enough with her order — she had the spinach omelette and thought the hash browns were fine but needed more butter. The omelettes were 4-​eggers which means BIG. The service was fine — our waitress brought us everything we needed, kept us hydrated, and was prompt but was less than enthusiastic. Located out just north of town across Van Dyke from Sheena’s grocery. Decorated really cute with a little art-​deco feel.
