Hands down the Best Jewish Style Deli in SF. Meaning, it blows doors on Moishe’s Pippic in Hayes Valley, and the less said about David’s on Geary Street, the better. (It is NOT Kosher, so if you need Kosher, you’re out of luck.)
Not only do they get the food right, but they get the ATTITUDE right, especially during the lunch rush. Plenty of banter between the guys behind the counter and the customers, the way it should be.
VERY GENEROUS PORTIONS for the price. Your money goes a long way at Miller’s. Huge sandwiches that would easily cost fifteen – sixteen bucks in NYC are only $11 at Miller’s.
If you’ve never been, GO, and if the last time you went was back in 2006, GO BACK and try it again. They made some management and personnel changes in 2007, and the food has improved dramatically. I’ll admit, the first time I went there, in 2004, I was not impressed. But things have changed and now I love it.
Things we didn’t get to show in the video: They have a nice assortment of Deli Style Fish – Lox, Whitefish Salad, Sturgeon, Pickled Herring, etc. Unfortunately, it does not photograph very well. But if you’re looking for some quality nautical nosh to top your bagel, they’ve got a nice selection at their deli counter.
Rumor has it they do a good Fried Chicken here as well. But, I’ve never ordered it, I’m always having too good a time with the deli sandwiches. If anyone can confirm that the Fried Chicken is good, send me an email. Thanks!

It has been a long time since I have been able to find a deli with this level of quality and pizzazz! This reminds me of growing up along the east coast and the beyond belief quality that comes from nearly every one of the.
