Arnie's Manhattan Restaurant & Delicatessen

Arnie's Manhattan Restaurant & Delicatessen

Arnie's Manhattan Restaurant & Delicatessen is located in Newport Beach, near John Wayne Airport (SNA.) It's a bit hard to find; it's in a strip mall on the north side of Dove between Birch and Von Karman. It's only open from 10:30am to 4pm. Obviously I went there for lunch.

Business was pretty brisk, and we were seated shortly after our arrival. There are murals of different parts of New York City painted on the walls. Our table had a jar of deli mustard and a jar of pickles.

Our waitress was friendly and service was quick. We both ordered soft drinks and scanned the menu. Most of the items were sandwiches, hot dogs, and other deli fare. My friend decided on the super corned beef sandwich on rye bread with a side of potato salad. I decided on the super pastrami sandwich on rye with a side of creamy coleslaw. Both of our sandwiches include the side dish. The super sandwiches are $9.95 each.

We munched on the pickles and chatted as we awaited our order. We noted that there is a carryout section with deli items on display near the front door.

Our orders came out quickly. I was quite amazed, as the super sandwiches are huge! The cooks basically roll the 10 ounces of meat into a big ball and stuff it between the bread. Upon my first bite, I noticed how soft the rye bread was. My friend, who frequents Arnie's quite a bit, said they bake their own rye bread! Needless to say, our sandwiches were delicious. My friend loved his corned beef on rye so much, he refused to share with me!

Our total bill came out to $25.75, that's two super sandwiches and two soft drinks and tax. I'm always looking for good deli food, and this is one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've had in a long while.
