There is only one word to describe mermelsteins. AWFUL. This place looks like its stuck in 1963. Gross food and a gross place. Avoid at all costs.

As a child, this restaurant was my regular after school destination. I usually ordered their meatballs and mashed potatos. Having gone back recently it’s every bit as good as I remember. This place has excellent food, excellent service and exceptional value. The mashed potatos is half the cost compared to the restaurant down the block and it tastes much better.

Update regarding the«meat strudel» — it’s freaking awesome and puts Kingston Ave in direct competition with Nostrand Ave. for Street in Crown Heights With The Most Awesome Meat Pastry(see my review of Silver Krust). It’s incredibly tender flaky golden pastry filled with a mixture of ground beef and ground pastrami. That is an awesome combination. Wow!
