This is a weekly visit for us & we've never been disappointed! The deli is top of the line, & the sandwiches are huge! The potato salad & cole slaw are scrumptious, & the pickles are addicting! The staff are always friendly & helpful. We've had them cater many events & have always gotten rave reviews from our guests. A... More

I've eaten here twice. It's worth circling the block to find a parking space. This last time, I ordered a Triple Decker corned beef/pastrami/salami sandwich. It came out looking like 1/8th of a cow shoved between three slices of bread. I could've done bicep curls with it, it was awesome. And I nearly finished it, with the side of potato... More

Service is pleasant. Food is, well, okay. Not very veggie-friendly. Macaroni salad way better than the potato salad. Parking is a problem. Dr. Brown's soda is a Big Plus!

I am extremely fortunate to live within a short walk of the only real Jewish deli in the Capital Region, one of only a few left these days anywhere that I am aware of. Think the Carnegie Deli but brighter, friendlier, with a less intimidating hustle. You can order your meat or sandwich at the counter with its big board... More

Hands down, the best place for lunch on upper Union St. I've eaten in and had take out. My work, 15 miles away also uses them every few months to cater a breakfast or lunch for 50 of us. Always awesome food, prices to match the quality and quantity. My favorite is the Reuben sandwich, with the best rye bread... More

Gershon's is a treasure. You can either sit and order or and in line for take out. They have the variety you need to select any deli favorite and quick, efficient, friendly service. Great Reuben's and "over stuffed" sandwiches. Very good potatoe salad. They also hav e burgers and hot dogs but I haven't tried them being addicted to the... More

I have come here off and on since the 1960's. One of the best deli's in upstate New York. The neighborhood is great to shop in and stop at Gershon's to get a great sandwich and salad before you leave. You'll be back !

I used to live around the corner form this place, and went here regularly. Great meats, sandwiches, amazing potato salad! Really good service, an anchor for upper Union Street neighborhood. Always busy - with good reason. Great for eat in or take out.

A real Deli atmosphere. We love the Pastrami sandwiches. Service is good and friendly. Salads are fresh and like Mom made. We try to go often.

One of the best deli's in the area. Great sandwiches, never dissappointed. Everything is good. My favorite sandwich is roast beef with pate and cold slaw on rye bread. My grandson's is the reuben..
