To be honest, I don't normally eat deli meat, but the pictures looked good, so I decided to check out Fresser's Delicatessen since I was in the area. There is a small parking lot out front and a few counter seats with a small area for ordering inside.
I got a corned beef sandwich on marbled rye with Swiss cheese (I basically constructed a Reuben without realizing it) and a cinnamon pecan pastry. My total came out to be almost $20, which feels like a bit much for a sandwich, but I think it is on par with most other sandwich/deli shops nowadays, and the portion size could be enough for two meals depending on how much you normally eat. The corned beef was thinly sliced and very soft. It was also too salty for my liking, but I think corned beef is typically supposed to be saltier (again, I don't normally eat deli meat). As stuffed as the sandwich was, the sandwich did not fall apart when I ate it, which was great, and it tasted even better toasted.
The cinnamon pecan pastry was a nice, little sweet to top off the meal.

Ive worked in the area for about 4 years, and can say hands down that this is my favorite deli/sandwich shop I've had the pleasure of going to. It's the real deal.
Their sandwiches are all enormous, easily two meals a piece, and delicious. I've tried every sandwich on their menu, and not one has left me disappointed. That said, my personal recommendations are the buffalo chicken sandwich and the grilled italian. They also run a revolving list of specials, and if they have the brisket, get that. The wait staff is also a pleasure, and on non-peak hours are a pleasure to talk with. It's good to keep in mind that during lunch hours, they get very busy, so if you're picking up an order, it's usually best to call it in a bit before then.
If you're feeling adventurous, order the 27, the sandwich that takes its namesake from the restaurant itself. It's enormous, and keeps well for leftovers if you ask for the cole slaw...
