Elijah's Restaurant, Delicatessen & Catering

Elijah’s Deli located at 7061 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92111 is a very good Deli food wise, my breakfast was great! I had their Matzoh Brie and it was very solid. Onion rings were very good too. Decor wise it is extremely cold looking, not deli like whatsoever. Wouldn’t have even known I was in a deli except for the menu items. Nothing remotely Jewish looking about this place whatsoever, except again the menu does have the typical NY Deli items on it. Server Lara was great! I’ll need to try their Pastrami next time as it looks very good.

I was here for an event. The service was really nice, they checked in a good amount and our waitress was really nice. We got the Carne Asada Fries and Napoleon. The fries were good. The Napoleon was a bit hard, difficult to cut despite it being a light pastry dessert. If you’re hosting an event, it’s pretty nice for that.

Only tried 2 food items so I'll have to revisit a few more times and try out various items on their menu. Excellent service. There's plenty of parking and the restaurant has a nice environment with plenty of space. There's an another separated room where I believe you can hold say a party or a banquet or the like. Nice options!

I was nervous about paying close to 20 dollars just for pancakes or waffles: I needed pictures they were extravagant and when I asked the waitress she responded (somewhat amusingly) “No, they are just waffles”. However, hit the spot for breakfast, although seemed a bit pricey just for a standard breakfast, but good quantities and variety.

Birthday brunch date! The deli sandwiches we’re great! My husband ordered “the Statue of Liberty” & I ordered the “hot pastrami” both were yummy! They’re Rye bread they make for the sandwiches tasted fresh & Soft ,the meat is tender and juicy. The sides that come with sandwiches I would say are bland ,but you don’t mind it too much cause the sandwiches have a good amount of sodium. Of course they serve the sandwiches with a side pickle spear which is always nice. We also shared a stack of pancakes, they were good. Nice and fluffy and had a small crust on the edge of the flapjacks. I forgot what my niece ordered, her BF ordered the Belgian waffle and loved it! He said that was absolutely delicious. I believe he just got it plain (no toppings or fruit.) Now for drinks my nice ordered a root bear float, she liked it (standard float.) My husband ordered us the “New York Egg Cream,” no one else at the table liked it, I will say I think it’s an acquired taste. My husband described it as a carbonated chocolate Yoo-hoo. So take from that what you may. Me personally I liked the drink. Our servers were kind and did a great job of customer service. Asking if we would like refills , coming by to see how everything was going and if we needed anything else.
