We go to Canter's a lot. We eat there and have pick up. I have not reviewed them in about 2 years…read moreso I thought is was about time that I reminded you how wonderful Canter's Deli is. First, the place is old and shows some wear. I find that charming and would rather they not change a thing. The place is large and can hold a lot of people. It also has a counter and behind a door is a bar area that sometimes has music. The place is always spotless and comfortable. You will never feel rushed. They have the best bakery which includes fresh bread, cakes, cookies and pastries. All of their food is great. We love the melts and anything with corned beef or pastrami on it. They make the best sandwiches and their soup is also great. They also have breakfast items and all are cooker perfectly. This is one of the best Jewish deli's in town.

Having just celebrated its 80th anniversary, Canter's remains a fixture of the Fairfax district,…read morethough the light coming from this fixture is starting to flicker and fizzle big time. The large neon signs out front may appear properly retro at night, but look unpleasantly in need of repair in the daylight. The same is true of the restaurant's interior, with dim lighting, dull orange booths, and long-unpolished chrome giving the place a somewhat depressing aura. That visual is unfortunately paired with a sour, mildewed smell, as if the entire place had been wiped down with mops and rags that should have been thrown out months ago. Despite all this, I decided to stay and have the meal I'd planned, as I hadn't been here in a long time. There wasn't much business at 11am on a Thursday, so I slid right into a seat at the counter (the only person at the counter) and was deftly handled by a waiter named Jeff, who was pleasant and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed, and checking in on me several times during my meal. He's a good egg, and I hope he got a good deal more business before the end of his shift. Where Canter's gets some extra points is with their prices, which are currently several dollars below what you'll pay at the other legacy delis in town. The portions are a tad smaller, but are in no way skimpy; that said, my sandwich, soda and tax wound up being about the price you'll pay for just a sandwich at other places, so you're getting a decent bang for your buck. I ordered the Bronx Special, which is a combo sandwich of Pastrami and Chopped Liver. Canter's is the only place I know of in L.A. that serves this sandwich open faced, which allows you to more easily combine the two main items to your liking. The pastrami could have been hotter and a little juicier, but had good flavor without being too salty, so I found the compromise to be worth it. The Chopped Liver had a fresh and mild flavor, and had just the right consistency: a balance between creaminess and a rustic chop, reminding you at all times that you're eating Jewish style chopped liver, not paté. Cole slaw served on the side was fresh and cool, with a nice balance of bitter cabbage and sweet carrot. I personally would prefer that it be a bit creamier, but I know my wife, who intensely dislikes mayo, would really love this version. Pickles were of the half-sour variety, which I really enjoy -- and these had a nice pop of garlic and spice, so they made their presence known. In the end, a meal at Canter's is a mixed bag these days. The deli food may not be the very best in town, but is still quite decent, and the affordable prices are much appreciated. However, the dim lighting and physical decline of the venue combine to create the atmosphere of a dive, and that most definitely subtracts from the overall enjoyment of eating there.

Some tables inside as well as a couple tables outside are available for dining in. Service was friendly and the sandwiches took about 10min. Metered street parking is available.

Nestled in the heart of Beverly Hills, Nate 'n Al's isn't going to win any awards for interior…read moredesign. Old-school booths, a deli counter, and décor that basically says, "We were here before you could afford to shop on Rodeo Drive." But when it comes to the food, this place can hang with the best New York delis. And before we even ordered, out came the complimentary pickle platter--several varieties of pickles, because apparently at a real Jewish deli, amuse-bouche is French for "here's a plate of cucumbers soaking in vinegar." Sweet, sour, half-sour, crunchy--basically a pickle flight without the Beverly Hills price tag. The matzo ball soup was top-notch--soup simplicity at its finest. Rich chicken broth, a moist and tender matzo ball, noodles, and carrots. Nothing fancy, nothing reinvented, nothing served with microgreens or truffle foam. Just exactly what matzo ball soup is supposed to be. Then came our off-menu creation: corned beef and turkey with house-made coleslaw and Russian dressing on toasted sourdough. It arrived piled high enough to require FAA clearance, yet somehow the structural integrity was flawless. I ate the entire thing without a single piece of shredded cabbage escaping onto the plate. If Nate 'n Al's ever gets out of the deli business and goes into general contracting, hire them immediately. With sandwich-building skills like these, they could put up an 80-story high-rise on the San Andreas Fault and not lose a window. The atmosphere is equally authentic. A couple of the servers looked like they could have walked straight onto the set of The Sopranos without an audition. One compact, old-school Italian-looking gentleman in particular had me wondering whether my sandwich came with a side of "fuhgeddaboudit." So forego the fancy Beverly Hills lunch where your entrée arrives under a silver dome and costs about the same as a car payment. Go to Nate 'n Al's, get a real deli sandwich and a bowl of matzo ball soup, then walk a few steps over to Rodeo Drive and spend all the money you saved. Old school. No pretense. Serious deli. And apparently some of the finest sandwich engineering in Southern California.

So now you have Mamie across the street and if you want to skip to the end of this review, that is the better option. Speaking of Mamie, I accidentally came to this location about 45 minutes before closing. They're sandwiches, so I figured no need to turn on a stove or anything. We ordered cold sandos from the kiosk because there was no human at the counter. They were already in GTFO mode. The only thing that greeted us was a giant roach on the floor. Mind you, it's about 97 degrees outside right now with the humidity, so just being able to eat inside with AC sounded nice. We pressed dine in on the kiosk, got our bag, I unwrapped my sandwich and then the only human working--who we hadn't seen at all until they handed us the food--came over and said, "Excuse me, you can't eat here. We're closing the dining room. You need to leave. There are spots in the courtyard where you can eat." In the 90-degree heat. The roach, however, got to stay. So we went and ate in the car with the AC on. First time and last time going to this inconvenience of a location. GTFO indeed. Not even worth editing my notes

It was soft, pillowy, and had the perfect amount of chew, bringing the whole sandwich together. My wife ordered the Chili Cheese Fries, but she wasn't a fan. Her exact words were, "Meh." She felt the chili lacked the depth of flavor she was hoping for. If you're in the Hollywood area looking for a late-night bite, I'd recommend checking them out. They have a large selection of creative and over the top sandwiches, so there's a good chance you'll find something to please your cravings.

Since it was definitely too hot to cook and I had a long drive home, I decided to pick up some sandwiches for the trip. I ordered three: a regular meatball, a regular Godfather, and a regular turkey Tuscano. Honestly, I can't decide which one was my favorite. I cut them all in half and shared them, and I ended up having the turkey Tuscano the next day for my lunch--and it was still just as good. The place is right with their name--the bread was fantastic. It was still crunchy yet soft even after being in the refrigerator overnight. The Godfather was also fantastic, and all of the meats on the sandwiches were killer. I sadly only got a few bites of the meatball because my husband annihilated it, but that's honestly a compliment. I'll definitely be hitting All About the Bread up again when I'm in West Hollywood. The staff was friendly too. Rafael took my order, and when I asked for recommendations, he was the one who actually recommended the Tuscano. I also made the sandwiches really quick since I was taking mine to go for my drive back to Orange County.
