Ever since Sherman Harris opened his restaurant Sherman’s Deli & Bakery in 1953, it has been a local and visitors favorite. Still owned and operated by the Harris family, this family style restaurant is a Palm Springs landmark supplying excellent kosher style food. They also have a Palm Desert location for their customers in the east valley. The sandwiches are not for the skimpy eaters, as they are HUGE, filled with all sorts of delicious house cut meats. A favorite sandwich at Sherman’s is their Grilled Reuben, with your choice of corn beef, pastrami or even turkey, layered high between fresh rye bread, with sauerkraut and Swiss cheese and a side of cottage fries, it is a sandwich lovers delight! Sherman’s also has other specialty items such as Smoked Whitefish, Beef Brisket, Latkes (potato pancakes) and Matzo Balls as a soup accessory. And their cakes and desserts, well, let’s just say that they don’t stay idle in the pastry case for long. So stop by Sherman’s for a morning, afternoon or evening nosh, you’ll be glad you did!

The menu at Alkobar is actually quite vast, with a variety of sandwich and salad options, but it is their Philly Cheese Steaks that they have come to be known for. Though the sandwich comes in several different styles, it always has tender beef, grilled onions and cheese sauce all cuddled in a fresh roll. The Palm Springs Local favorite is the Philly Cheese Mexicano, with added jalapeños and a little extra of their luscious cheese sauce. Alkobar Philly Cheese Steaks…. convenience store goodness!
