.....considering my initial reaction to the rather exreme noise level (thanks to one particularly rowdy bunch at a table in the corner) and bland soup course was more like 'oy vey'.....but I must admit, the food eventually won me over. Mom's cooking without the meat, the not-terribly-diverse but tempting nonetheless dinner menu is both filling and comforting, and the modest outer-boroughs price tag makes this place a definite return visit, particularly since it's only one train stop outside the city.
Pros: inexpensive, pleasant service, convenient location
Cons: sparse seating, blah atmosphere
