They do validate for parking if you eat in which is a nice touch. Service was fast and orders were taken, pickles on the table within a few minutes of sitting down. I got the half sandwich and soup combo - pastrami and matzo ball (which was a slight up charge). The rye bread was fantastic - 10/10! The pastrami was also lean and delicious. The sandwich didn't come with any condiments but felt it was perfect without. Matzo ball soup was also well flavored and a very good soup. We also tried a black and white cookie to go which was good but a bit too cakey for my liking. All in all, this spot is well worth the visit!

You have seen them in movies, you seen the YouTube, Facebook and TikTok, I came to LA for a wedding and while going shopping for suits I wanted to treat my family to the best Pastrami (in reputation) in LA. 100 years ago when I was in my 20's I brought a date here. Not alot has changed, and that's a good thing. Ok, let's talk food. Amazing , I had the hot Pastrami sandwich, MAN! TASTED LIKE A SMOKED PASTRAMI, The tast was smoke flavor the bread was nice and soft, the potato salad was creamy and the potato chunks were approximately 1 inch in dimensions. My wife had the Pastrami dip, Pastrami on a roll and a small bowl of aju, with fries perfectly cooked, crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. I tried the aguando it was fabulous My oldest son. Had The Spicy, he said it had the great mix of heat and flavor, the onion rings rings were made with real onions, crunchy and delicious My other son had the Pastrami Burger, I order these when ever I see it on the menu, I asked how does it compare to the rest, he smiled and said class of its own. My youngest is a college boy so im going to see what my college money paid for. This is his review: The Fresser was a pastrami and corned beef sandwich described to be piled high on rye and they were ABSOLUTELY true to their word! A mountain of perfection, a robust and bold flavor, with a perfect finishing taste of the rye. Everything was beautiful and built to perfection and I absolutely recommend this sandwich if you have the appetite to stomach the behemoth of a sandwich the Fressor was! 10/10 would eat again! My college boy, long story short, we paid 134.90 the service was wonderful Maria was our server and did an excellent job. Well worth the trip, also a celebrity was eating next to us, he was with his family and I did not want to disturb his family time. Come it is all they say it is. Your welcome.

It's right on Melrose and directly across from the Fairfax Flea on Sundays, making it a great place to grab a bite before or after walking around the area.

Order online and have some jump out of the car to pick up your order. There is no seating inside but maybe a chair or two outside. The neighborhood is a little rough around the edges so you may want to get that food to go. We tried three sandwiches and they were all huge. The crispy chicken caesar wrap is phenomenal and I am not one who usually orders this particular sandwich anywhere. It comes with a creamy sauce that I might have drank directly from the little cup. The wrap is packed full of chicken and it is refreshing and excellent. It doesn't look huge but trust me, the wrap is packed full and you will be plenty satisfied. The Antonia sandwich comes with turkey, cheese, avocado, tomato, and garlic aioli. It isn't all that unique a creation but for what it is, it is very fresh and very good. It came loaded with delicious turkey. The Martha sandwich (chicken salad, apples, fennel, argula, herbs, etc.) is on special right now. Personally, I am not a big chicken salad guy but you get a lot of it and the person in our party who ordered it liked it a lot. We also tried the arancini and they were excellent. You get three arancini balls and fantastic vodka sauce on the side. This is a winner. To be honest, practically the entire menu sounds great to me. They have quite a few locations and I feel like I will be trying them again soon.

Friendly people working there. OK. Not so good. Sausage sandwich was good but difficult to eat, sausage is just placed in a hotdog bun with marinara and some green peppers. Slicing the sausage lengthwise would go a long way to making the sandwich eatable. Pastrami was not wife's fave. It was tough and hard to chew. Overall. I would probably go back and try another sandwich and the wife would get the Albondigas soup.

So it seemed fitting to honor both of them and it satisfied my craving. The catered memorial looked great but it was difficult to make a proper plate. I always crave matzo ball soup. Luckily I had my fan to help cool off my soup. I did add a little salt and pepper. Other than that it was total comfort. $15 We shared a club sandwich and got French fries instead. All the condiments, Russian dressing, ranch come in prepackaged little containers. Ranch tasted fresh and homemade. I used a little of the Russian dressing. Is that a Brent's thing? $22 + $3 for French fries. I wanted a little sweet and got the blueberry cheesecake. That was the best cheesecake ever. Actual blueberries inside the cheesecake. So creamy and delicious. $11 Pickles are always my favorite. I got bagel chips with my matzo ball soup. I ordered corned beef and cabbage for my 99 year old mom.

This is especially helpful to people who are first time customers and who do not know the protocol. Later as I was leaving, he went out of his way to say thank you and goodbye and wish me a good day.
