Hymie's

Still great after all these years but some things aren't as good as they used to be which is sad but sometimes inevitable. The matzo ball soup was my absolute favorite and it's still good but I might have had an okay batch compared to what I'm used to from them. The challah French toast is still amazing and you still get an amazing portion. Waitress was okay.

Hymie’s located at 342 Montgomery Ave, Merion Station, PA 19066 is a top shelf Deli featuring freshly cooked Meats such as Pastrami, Corned Beef, Brisket and other fine Deli items. Great pickle bar too! Friendly staff who really go out of their way to help customers have a great experience. Excellent food!! One of the 2 best Deli’s I’ve been to.

I live in a corned beef special wasteland. Sarasota, FL. You can’t even get a decent loaf of rye bread in Sarasota. I just came back to Hymies for the first time in 30 years. I had the best corn beef special I’ve ever had in my life. Including Katz is on Houston Street in New York. Including the second Street deli down on the lower East side of Manhattan. Oh my God it was good.

I am updating this review because Louis (the owner) is a decent person, he responded to an email I sent him, and the parking issues are not his fault. However, I still have serious problems with the "Township", because of the parking experience that I described below in my original review - There's limited parking with outdated parking meters that only takes coins, but does not use credit cards/parking apps. More importantly though, an unpaid “Expired Meter” ticket that gets escalated into an Arrest Warrant. Let me repeat that, one single unpaid parking ticket was escalated into an Arrest Warrant by your local courts, your local judges. A community that believes the appropriate reaction to a single unpaid parking fine is to jail someone, is a community that has already lost any human decency you may have once possessed.

Hymie's is the must-stop restaurant for me when I visit family on the main line. It has that feel of a main stay institution that has rightfully earned its reputation over decades. Once seated service is prompt and friendly. Menu is extensive with local and Jewish staples. Everything I've tried has been exceptional with a special nod to the Nova salmon fish platter.
