The only downside is the location, which can feel a little uncomfortable with quite a few homeless people around. That said, there are times when it's much quieter, so I guess it's a matter of luck. Overall, it's still a solid place, and the pastrami is definitely worth trying!

Sat at the counter, no waiting…read more Eva was my server and she was friendly and helpful. She's always cheerful and she makes busy look goooood. Thank you Eva. I highly recommend a bowl of matzoh ball soup. In the bowl, you get two nice-sized matzoh balls in a chicken broth. You can also add noodles but then you only get one matzoh ball. This time, being a purist. Just the soup, the balls, the crackers on the side. 5/5 And as usual, validate for free parking. I lilove how the GPS guides you straight to the parking lot....the lot attendant is really sweet and guides you to a good spot out of the sun. Big thumbs up and muchas gracias al amable encargado del estacionamiento. He's really quick, efficient, and friendly.

So you can't go to the Fairfax area of Los Angeles and not have lunch at Canter's…read more It's a famous place, had to try it. I went with my sister and a friend and everything was very good. We had a nice server, Daniel, who was very attentive and helpful. My sister ordered cheese blintzes and they were served cold in the middle. Daniel took them back and when they reappeared at the table they were hot enough but not piping hot. Sister said they were very good. But two not very large blintzes for about $16, is kind of high. Friend had a Rueben which she said was delish. She also ordered a container of matzah ball soup and the matzoh ball was huge! I ordered a hot corned beef on rye and it was indeed very good. Large enough that half was enough for dinner and the other half was another meal on the next day. I also ordered onion rings. Very good! My dining companions enjoyed some of them too and there were still a few left to take home with my sandwich! I had a few of my friend's steak fries, they were good also. The prices are high here. Guess you have to go with the flow in a world-famous place! There is a small bakery counter near the front door. We bought two danishes to take home. OMG, the chocolate and almond danish was absolutely a 6 on a scale 0f 1-5! Also got a bear claw and it's terrific too. But the other was great. Notice I said was; my sister and I shared it. Didn't tale too long for us to decimate it! This was an experience for sure. If ever I get to LA again, I will be sure to get a chocolate and almond danish!

I came here to get lunch right before a LACMA trip and I did hear that this spot was famous so…read moredecided to give it a chance. I ended up getting a pastrami and the matzo ball soup. The matzo ball soup was fine, not super flavorful and didn't have enough salt for me personally (the saltine crackers did help though). The sandwich was not bad at all, good sauerkraut tang and the pastrami was well seasoned. The rye bread also have a crunch. I think the main issue I had was just mainly the price: for around 25 bucks for the sandwich I would have expected a larger portion but it wasn't too big. I haven't been to many other Jewish deli spots before and I know Katz is more expensive than here but the sandwich I had when I visited Katz was easily twice as large . Overall, i did think the sandwich was serviceable here it wasn't my favorite considering the price.

Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious every single time - fresh, generously made, and packed with flavor. What really sets Mike's apart is the consistency. The sandwich makers are true experts who know how to build the perfect sandwich. Whether you're craving turkey, pastrami, roast beef or one of their specialty creations, everything is made with care and high quality ingredients. They also have every side you could want to go with your sandwich, making it easy to turn a quick lunch into a satisfying meal. The deli is always spotless, which says a lot about how much pride they take in their business, and the staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and efficient. After all these years, Mike's Deli is still one of my favorite places for an amazing sandwich. If you're looking for one of the best deli sandwiches in Los Angeles, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

I'm also really glad they offer a "shortie" size, which was perfect if you don't want a full sandwich. Price-wise, though, it is definitely on the expensive side for what you're getting.

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. She said she didn't like the cabbage, no taste. She's 99 ‍ It's been a while since I was there. It feels the same. Booths and tables. Same decor. Our server Laura was super sweet and patient. Helpful in our decision making. Ricardo cracked me up because he brought a small soup container for my friend's cabbage soup. She was a little perturbed it was too small. Ricardo insisted it would fit and it did PERFECTLY.

This place is a must visit! Philippe's is absolutely legendary!…read more They have kept their original location and they are still serving up the same classic French Dips they always have. I love the exterior look of the building with their iconic sign. When you step inside it feels like being transported to a simpler time. They have a couple fun phone booths against a side wall and an analog Photo Booth that --depending on the time of year-- will print strips that have the words "Go Dodgers" on it. Because Philippe's is also known to be a place that Dodgers fans can congregate. The line gets quite long, but the staff does their best to get people through as quickly as they can. There is plenty of seating that can be found on the ground floor, as well as upstairs. Although it has been disputed if they are indeed the originators of the French Dip, I must say that have not had a French Dip that has even come close to being as good as the one I had here. And I am a HUGE French Dip fan. You would think that dunking the roll in the au jus would make it just taste soggy, but instead the bread holds up and the au jus packs it with great flavor. Last thing--order it with the pickled egg! Thank me later.

Most overrated dump in LA…read more Went to Philippe's for the first time in a long time and ordered the pastrami dip. $16.99 for what might be the weakest pastrami sandwich I've ever had in my life. They give you barely any meat, slapped on a wet, stale bun and then dunked in salty pastrami water to hide the fact that it's dry as hell. The pastrami itself was just salty and dry. No flavor, no juice, nothing. I've never been to jail, but I imagine this is the exact size and quality sandwich they serve in there. Tacked on a slice of carrot cake for a total of $22.99 and that was a joke too. Thin, dry, nothing to write home about. This place is the definition of overrated but iconic to LA. You suckers keep waiting in line for it. Should have just stuck with the original dip, even though they're chintzy with that one too.

I went back to Bay Cities sixteen years after my initial 3-star review, and honestly, my rating…read morestill stands. The Godmother is good but disproportionately acclaimed, and I'd never wait in line to get it. Thankfully, it's easy to order ahead. I did this through DoorDash on the drive over to Santa Monica, where we were already headed to catch a Sunday afternoon play. We walked in and saw the zoo at the deli counter, then learned that DoorDash pick-ups were in a different corner of the grocery. There was a confusing sign that indicated "catering & on-line pick up around the corner to the left," which in its ambiguous phrasing, led me to a place I wasn't supposed to go (it was apparently only for catering orders, but what about "catering & on-line pick up" excludes DoorDash orders?). A snippy employee cast me out and completely ignored my explanation about the sign. But other than that, the pick-up was quick and painless, much better than waiting in that line. It was like going to the DMV with an appointment vs. without (one of my favorite Broad City gags). We looked around the store, which was quite nice, a sizable gourmet grocery with lots of wine, deli goods, tinned fish, etc. My husband bought a lemonade and learned that Bay Cities doesn't take credit cards. (He was able to use an ATM card.) We took our pick-up order, bagged in a maximal amount of plastic, and grabbed one a handful of shaded tables in front of the store. We'd planned to take our sandwiches to a park, but this was a pleasant place to eat. I got the Godmother with the works: prosciutto, ham, capicola, mortadella, Genoa salami, and Provolone; hot peppers (you can also get mild), Italian dressing, mayo, yellow mustard, lettuce, onion, tomato, and pickles, all on a fresh Italian roll. The bread was great, sturdy with a good crunch, and I liked the sandwich well enough. It was OK+ for sure, just not really a standout in my map of Los Angeles sandwiches. I also ordered a side of snap pea salad, with fresh snap peas, mandarin orange, black sesame seeds, sesame oil, and salt. I love snap peas but I guess I don't love them quite this raw and underdressed. This was a disappointment. If I lived in Santa Monica, I might go to Bay Cities more than once every 16 years. But unless I'm still missing something, it's not really worth a drive.
