We'll visit again
We checked out Brent’s based upon Elspie’s review and decided to go since we were going to visit the city anyway for REI. The outside isn’t beautiful…it’s in a strip mall kind of locale, but there were people everywhere waiting for a table. My hubby and I waited about twenty minutes for a weekend lunch table, which was ok, since we got to see the Zagat ratings and the clientele. We had the pastrami sandwich, the onion rings, and the matzo ball soup, all of which was very satisfying.
The service was brisk but friendly. The wait staff seems like they’ve all worked there for years. And we really thought it was cool that they gave us a little dish of assorted pickles. Those were tasty.

Pastrami Sandwich
As Elspie said, the pastrami is very lean, and is just a large pile of meat between two slices of bread. But I was actually more impressed by the fact that the rye bread was freshly baked. That bread was really good. I almost wanted to take out my meat so that I could eat the bread alone.
-
Matzo Ball Soup
Our first time with matzo ball soup, so I’m no expert. The chicken broth was ok. It was pretty much what you expect, pretty lean and with some noodles. But the matzo ball was huge, about the size of a softball, and it was really good getting a piece of soup-soaked matzo ball. You can’t get the soup in a cup, it has to come in a bowl based upon the size of the matzo. But you can definitely make a meal out of it!

Great Food, Lots of it!
Brent’s is really good Jewish deli food. The portions are GI-NORMOUS so plan to share dishes! I’ve never met anyone who could finish one of their sandwiches alone, and I know some pretty hearty eaters! The place is usually packed for weekend breakfast, and almost every night for dinner, so if you’re going then, expect a wait, but normally, not more than 30 minutes. The service is a little slow; if you’re in a hurry, this is not the place for you. Don’t miss the yummy baked treats for dessert, and they also have carry out and local delivery before 8 pm (I think the minimum order for delivery is $25).

Pastrami Sandwich
This sandwich is HUGE, and the pastrami is perfectly cured, and very lean. The rye bread it comes on is heaven!
-
Mushroom & Barley Soup
This has huge cubes of nice, lean steak in it, and this bowl of soup is a SERIOUSLY hearty meal. Don’t even think of ordering a whole bowl if you plan to eat anything else; get a cup instead! The consistency is stew-like, and the flavor is soooo rich. Nice assortment of fresh mushrooms! Just delicious!
