Hot meat loaf with mashed potatoes and gravy is the lunch special every Tuesday and Thursday. The loaf, which the menu boasts is made from Eisenberg's original recipe, tastes good. The potatoes, in the background, couldn't be flatter.

A nice stack of juicy, garlicky fried salami on a crusty roll.  Cheese too.  Excellent stuff.

Eisenberg has long been known for its tuna salad sandwich. This one was well-built on good rye and generously apportioned, but the tuna salad itself did not sparkle.

We ordered potato salad with our sandwiches.  When it hadn't arrived, we reminded our waiter, who quickly scooped a mugful for us.  No charge.  Regular commercial potato salad, but there was something about this service style that we enjoyed...

Our very friendly waiter saw us taking pictures of our food and insisted he pose for a shot.

The counter is a great place to chow down on some tasty food and engage in interesting conversation with Kenny (in the red hat, weekends only).

Eisenberg's lunch barely has room to walk between the tables along the wall and the long counter with stools. This photo was taken about 10:30am. By noon, every seat was occupied.
