#10 The Hardly Marvelous Morts


Morts Deli is a new restaurant located in Golden Valley off of 55. Hearing that a new delicatessen was opening nearby, Jews from all over the Twin Cities flocked to the new joint. Morts has a wide variety of the classics: matzah ball soup, pastrami on rye, briskets, along with Rachaels and Ruebens. Despite the delightful appeal of the new hot spot, it is unfortunately unsatisfying. The Matzah balls are so hard, it's like eating a frickin rock. The brisket is extremely overcooked and dry. The chicken wings were atrocious to say the least. There was absolutely no seasoning on them, not even salt and pepper! They should have atleast brought them out with some sauce. The sandwiches are enormous, just like Carnegie Deli. The only difference is that Carnegie Deli's is enjoyable, while Morts' are way off base. The pastrami is too dry and tastes like it has been left in the sun for hours. I would totally recommend this place for a nice night out to dinner, but unfortunately I'm not going to do that. It's hit or miss, and Morts definintely missed.
