Jerry's Famous Deli - Miami
    • User Rating  

  • Description:

    • Answering the cries for a real, New York-style deli on South Beach is Jerry's Famous Deli, actually a Los Angeles import, which now occupies the cavernous space that used to house the very decadent gay disco, the Warsaw Ballroom. In a way, Jerry's still channels that same decadence, albeit with a menu that features over 700 monstrously portioned items, from your typical corned beef on rye to your atypical brisket burrito. While the quality of the food is excellent, the service pales in comparison: This 24-hour deli is not a place to go if you're in a rush. The modern cafeteria, complete with full bar and a very Los Angelean nonsmoking policy (which has expanded to all Florida restaurants), is dimly lit with a disco soundtrack that is somewhat reminiscent of its predecessor. People come here to linger over sandwiches that can feed at least two people, if not more, and should you be craving a Reuben sandwich after a night of clubbing at 5am, Jerry's is command central for that set as well as the original early birders who are first waking at 5am and will have their dinner at 5pm. One thing, though: This is not your grandfather's deli, where sandwiches were only a few bucks. Prepare to shell out at least $10 and up for one of Jerry's. What do you expect? It's 21st-century South Beach!
