Your hosts, David Levy and Barry Robbins, welcome you to their version of a traditional deli! When we opened in 1995 our goal was to remind our customers what a deli experience is like. From crunchy kosher pickles to piled high pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, steaming bowls of matzo ball soup, traditional brisket dinners and a bakery boasting homemade recipes, we hope to please our customers from start to finish. We work hard to source the best meats, vegetables, and ingredients all while developing new items to keep up with current culinary trends!

    Now that I have decided that Milton's is less a deli and more of a diner, I enjoy my monthly luncheon there more! I had a Monte Cristo and it was presented beautifully & tasted delicious! The service is always excellent.

    It is the best. I am from NYC so I know pastrami! I go every other week and order the same thing. Staff is friendly but very busy. The hostesses are really ,really nice. See you next week!

    VERY busy place on a Sunday at 1:00pm. Food was good, good portion size, but servers extremely busy, waited a long time for our drinks to arrive, food soon after. Noise level pretty high. Shout out to the hostess- she was helping clear tables and setup to get more people seated. Agree with a past reviewer- being from the NE as a kid, reminds me more of diner food than a true Jewish Deli. However we will go back- maybe just not on a Sunday lunch time

    The food was as it always was. But there was not enough wait staff . We waited 1/2 an hour to order. Then half our orders never arrived. They took it off the bill, but it was disappointing.
