Jacob's Restaurant & Delicatessen - American restaurant in Boynton Beach - 3861 W Woolbright Rd, USA

Holy Smokes! - After 1 Year - I think I may have discovered the best "Kosher Style" Deli in Palm Beach County - Too think, now the wife and I are actually moving away from this overcrowded place! Hidden/Nestled away in Boyton Beach - Yes, I was the youngest guy in the Dining Room - Nevertheless, the purpose of this review is to draw attention to this gem of a place. Unfortunately or fortunately - depending how you look at it, this place is not "Legally Kosher" for all intensive purposes. Nevertheless - we are dealing w/ Kosher Style - Jacob's was suggested to me by one of my patients and I've already been there twice in one week. Place is filled w/ the "Boyton Crowd" - who I'm convninced is doing there best to keep a lid on this place. Food is excellent and the prices won't break the bank. Owner/Operator Jose Jacobs is on premise everyday but Wednesday - from what I'm told. Meats are "Cured" on Premise - which is a rariety. Rye Bread is baked on premise and truly is the star of the place; Absolutely delicious! - You are not going to find anything like it anywhere! I've been told the Turkey is amazing and look forward to trying. They have a tremendously amazing menu that will satisfy the most discerning meshuganah. If you are reading this - than stop what you are doing and get out and try this place. OMG - The Matzah Ball soup was really good! Please tell the waitress to smile a bit more! It makes the food taste that much better. Otherwise no complaints! Would avoid on Wednesday - because that's the Owner/Operators day off. But, the gal at the slicer sure as heck can make an exceptionaly tasty sandwich and I've been told she covers for when Jose takes his much needed break. Plenty of parking availabe in the shopping center and very easy to find! A+ - This plus is truly wonderful! Enjoy and let me know your thoughts! Let me know if any of you meshugs want to meet me there? Like it and Love it!

I'm floored that this restaurant gets anything higher than 1 star. Sheer insanity. The food was HORRENDOUS. When people say "Don't expect good food in Florida" this is the stereotype they're talking about. The place has zero ambiance. Very generic interior; I could've been eating at a diner or cafeteria. It doesn't feel like a deli. Don't discount this. It detracts from the "deli experience". For heaven's sake, put up some pictures of the Lower East Side or something. Give the restaurant a vibe! The place was not too clean. We sat down and the table was tacky from ... I dunno. From something. My menu had someone's cabbage on it. *shudder* So we changed tables. That table was dirty too. The table next to us had a dirty rag on it. Service was pretty good. Waitress was friendly and welcoming. Food came out fast. The food was disgusting. Jacob is rolling in his grave. Matzah Ball Soup: C- The matzah balls were big and flavorless. Really, flavorless. Disgusting. Think of a big ol' wet ball of matzah. Ugghghghghghg. Even matzah balls from a box have more flavor. Even just a little salt, pepper would've made this BIG FAT F matzah balls into a C. Then, if you want to bring them up to an A, use some parsley and schmaltz. You're a restaurant, you should be able to handle that! The soup was very meh. I could find ZERO evidence that the soup was anything but 100% bouillon and water. Seriously. Lipton and water. And who the hell puts noodles in matzah ball soup? Potato Pancakes: C+ Very subpar. Obviously from a mix, which isn't NECESSARILY bad, I've had halfway decent latkes from a box, but like the matzah ball soup, they had zero flavor. No black pepper at all. No schmaltz. Just totally bland. Pastrami: D Served to us cold. Ughghghghg. Sent it back to the kitchen and it came back lukewarm. I swear this pastrami comes from sliced Boar's Head or some other ultra-processed meat. Look at my pictures. That is not from a carved pastrami -- that's pressed, processed, machine made meat stuff. You ever see pastrami that like that from a NY deli? Hells no! That's some ultra-non Jewish pastrami. Tongue: B The tongue was actually not bad. But everything else was just so dreadful. French Fries: B- Very nondescript.

We have been to Jacob's a few times - this week most recently. The food was actually very good. My wrap was very good and my girlfriend ordered the soup/sandwich combo. Her corned beef sandwich was very lean - just the way she requested. The service was very nice - attentive. The restaurant was clean.

Ordered takeout Corned beef on no seed rye, coleslaw and an order of small fries. While picking up my order I asked for a side of mustard and to my surprise the gentleman told me it was already in there. So, I decided not to ask for salt and pepper for the fries, I assumed they were seasoned to perfection. Unfortunately, they are not so ask for the condiments and ketchup if you need it(reason for missing a star). Real cool that someone was behind the counter slicing the meat to order, I absolutely loved the corned beef; juicy, not too lean, just enough fat, fresh rye, fries piping hot, coleslaw perfect and house pickle sour, just how mama likes it! Check them out! Sooo good! 👌

I've driven by this place for years and finally stopped there with a friend. It was the absolute worst. Service was so slow. We could barely ask for anything before he was running away. My sandwich was over toasted and bread crumbled apart. So dry and no sauce on it. I had to ask 5 different times for sauce and waited 10 minutes before getting it. Potato pancakes were clearly burnt but they served us them anyways. I couldn't get out of there faster. First and last experience there.

I found Jacob's to be a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Service is amenable, swift, and attentive. Large fresh portions are delightful. Thank you for an enjoyable lunch. I am happy to have experienced.

My husband and I were in heaven eating the food at Jacobs. The hot corned beef and pastrami sandwiches were to die for! The service was the best. Even the desserts are ten stars! We went there three times in one week. Twice for dinner and once for breakfast. We chatted with the owner who remembered my parents from when they were his customers. We will be relocating from NY to Boynton Beach very soon. Jacobs has life long customers as we will be dining there often.

Good, inexpensive place for kosher style dishes. My wife and I had their dinner special one evening. It was about $34 for the two meals that included appetizers, main courses desserts and soft drinks. The food was better than average and needless to say quite filling.
