Rosenfeld's Jewish Deli

If you are expecting the level of a Katz's Deli, then you will be disappointed. However, this is nevertheless a very solid Jewish style deli. I ordered takeout, and started with the Matzoh Ball Soup. The broth was tasty, not too salty, and had plenty of carrots. I would have liked fewer onions, but otherwise the broth was fine. The matzoh ball had a nice fluffy texture, but the taste was a bit bland. The matzoh ball could definitely use a little more seasoning. I also had a Pastrami on Rye. I liked that they offered 3 different sandwich sizes. I chose the middle which was plenty for me. The pastrami was thinly sliced, tender, but did not have the rich flavor profile of a higher end deli. This place is not bad, as long as you temper expectations.

Any port in a storm, Rosenfeld’s was a refuge for us while on vacation after a recent loss and it was exactly what we needed to reconnect to our Jewish identity.
Offering a traditional Jewish menu they checks all the right boxes, barrel of pickles, plentiful dishes with lox, babka French toast, everything bagels galore and one of the most interesting takes on latkas I’ve ever had they seem to have it all.
Prepared to near perfection (sadly they burned my side of bacon to a crisp) the food is tasteful but not overbearing and plentiful. Served by super friendly though folks in a unique atmosphere with some of the most creative must see murals it was an enjoyable experience.
Service was a little slow but that spoke more to a lack of staffing on a Friday morning and nothing against the effort of the staff. They was super friendly and made us feel like part of the family.
If you are looking for that comfortable and familiar feel of a Jewish deli you couldn’t ask for a better experience. This is a hidden gem in a shore town we never thought we’d be fortunate enough to find.

Hubby and I first went to Rosenfeld's in Ocean City many years ago & loved it! We were excited when they opened a location in Lewes, but this location never really measured up in service compared to the other location & over the last year has gotten increasingly worse. My husband is Jewish and very used to the classic Jewish delis in Phili, etc. After several times of getting the wrong food, he stopped going a couple of years ago. I was over helping out a friend and looking for a yummy dinner. I thought a good pastrami sandwich would fit the bill and what girl (my friend) couldn't use good dose of Matzah Ball Soup and a Reuben while recovering from open heart surgery!! She said her sandwich and the soup were good, but I did notice her soup had very little chicken & veggies. It was late & maybe we got the dregs Idk.... 😵💫 I do know that when I make it, you're going to get more than two slices of carrot and more than the meat of half of a small chicken leg in a quart of soup!
On to my Pastrami sandwich... I totally understand why my husband stopped going. It's sad and I understand that people don't know what they don't know. I ordered a simple Pastrami sandwich with yellow mustard on toasted Marble Rye. Apparently that was too difficult. Since I had gotten the order to go I didn't realize what they had given me until I got to her house. What did I receive? I am attaching a photo of the sandwich - which was on UNtoasted regular Rye with brown mustard on one side. I was the only customer in the store, so it wasn't like they were busy. I know that prices have gone up, but this is not a $15 sandwich.
I have run businesses for over 30 years, so I know when it's time for someone to step in and up their game.
