The lines form early at lunchtime and dinnertime for huge sandwiches, hearty soups and generously garnished German specialties, many of them made from recipes handed down to the family that owns this delicatessan and market, and all of them reasonably priced. You order and retrieve your meals at a counter and then head over to one of the small dining areas or the even smaller outdoor terrace. In addition to the usual deli suspects, you can get sandwiches stuffed with such difficult-to-find meats as headcheese or tongue. Mashed potatoes cratered with gravy come with many dishes, including hot sandwiches made with cooked-on-the-premises roast beef or roast pork. The sauerkraut and red cabbage are other worthy side dishes.
