Drove all the way from Riverside and it was 100% worth it. The food was absolutely amazing, there's plenty of seating, and the inside has such a cute, welcoming vibe. Huge shoutout to Cynthia she was incredibly sweet and gave us great recommendations. I convinced my girlfriend to make the hour drive with me to try this place, and we were both blown away. The smash meatball sub was unreal their house-made pesto is next level. Easily one of the best sandwiches we've ever had, and that's saying a lot because my girlfriend doesn't even like sandwiches... yet she finished the whole thing lol. We'll definitely be back for the pizza thursday . definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Overpriced, underwhelmed, with a dash of attitude. Nothing special about the sandwich. I felt it was average at best. 16.50 is a bit on the high side for average. The restaurant is very clean and bright. "Hi, WELCOME IN" is empty corporate rhetoric. If you can't give a genuine greeting just take the order. read more

Ordered the chicken Caesar wrap , was really good. Tasted homemade. The service was friendly too and helpful with choosing what to order. The have an outdoor patio which felt great to sit at considering the weather is amazing right now. PLUS they are dog friendly which I love read more

We came back again to have a sit down experience this time over the weekend and I was underwhelmed. I wanted to try something different and got the Bette modeler because I'm a pastrami fan so the cashier recommended another pastrami sandwich that she said in line with what most people think pastrami is? She said the lean version isnt what I think it is so I didn't want to question her rec. It was ok, but I still prefer board and brew's left coast pastrami to this. This place has the pickle bar but I like the sauce that board gives you to go with their pastrami. To each their own I suppose. Still good, just preferable because this tastes like something I could simply make at home. Hubs says the place has lost its charm and just goes to Lee's on Goldenwest when he's in the mood for a good sandwich. read more

Lived in HB all my life and just found this place from Instagram. I've tried the Chicken Caesar Wrap, the Smashed Meatball Sub, and the Zac Efron. All have been really good. Definitely going to be on my regular rotation. I also like the pickled eggs and their tropical tea. Owner is kind and welcoming. They also have some nice outdoor patio seating. Love it! read more

Was craving a sandwich mid work day, so we ordered from Fritz for the first time. We got the Bronx, Bette Midler and Pasta Salad. Bronx was with the hot peppers, and it was good, but bread and overall quality of ingredients didn't make it great. It was better than the Bette Midler, which felt like a pastrami sandwich a bachelor would make at home. Nothing special. Pasta salad may be the best thing, but was pretty standard. Quick to be ready, and can't say much about ambiance. Most likely won't be back, especially since the price was $50 for everything I got. read more

Ordered on Grubhub. Was not a fan of the meatball sandwich. The bottom came all soggy. The meatballs tasted like the ones from Don Jose's on Adam's. The top of the roll, was good. I'd probably have to eat it there and/or try a dry sandwich. read more

I drive by this place all the time, and after seeing their Instagram packed with drool-worthy sandwich photos, I was honestly mad at myself for not stopping in sooner. When I think classic deli, this place absolutely delivers and then some. We ordered the Cousin Eddie, the Turkey Special, and the Fanelli--and my husband and I actually fought over the last bite of each sandwich. Everything was fresh, made to order, and clearly made with love. No notes. This mom-and-daughter spot truly KNOWS their deli sandwiches. Safe to say we're lifetime customers. read more

We were in a Sub sandwich kind of mood last week. We both looked at each other and said "Fritzankotter's " at the same time! (We have been lunching together each week for decades!) We both revere the meals we have enjoyed here over the past few years. We confidently surveyed the menu, he went with the turkey sub (he is trying to be good). I selected the hot Italian! With the peppers and hot salami! We were both raving about our sandwiches when they arrived when we realized they were being delivered almost instantly by a very beautiful woman! Needless to say these two septuagenarians were delighted by the whole experience! The ambiance is deli delightful and the parking is wide open and free. The point of the review is go enjoy their fabulous food! read more

One of the best meatball subs out there! Loved the addition of the pesto on their smashed meatball subs. The mock Reuben was ok - paired fine with the meatball sub but not something I would come back for. The place is cute for an older establishment, but I love that they have an outdoor patio to enjoy the beautiful HB weather. Excited to come back and try some of the other options! read more

Used to come to this place a lot when I was in high school with my best friend. Loved the names of all the sandwiches. Famous people.: I think back in the day I used to get the hell and curly brown. (she used to be the editor in chief of cosmopolitan back then). Now the sandwiches are named after. Messi or Zac Efron! lol What got me in on this Saturday was a girlfriend who sent me a reel of a meatball sandwich with mozzarella and pesto. It looked absolutely delicious. So when I opened it to see where is this restaurant close to me it was Fritzankotters! I told her hey I used to go there all the time when we were in high school she never went. So doing my errands on that day I decided I was hungry for the smashed meatball at Fritz and Cotters and let me tell you it was worth it. Met the owner and her daughter both are beautiful, super sweet.. the place has changed hands a few times since I was their last and it's adorable! Really cute deli great service and the food of course is delicious! You must try it read more

This place is hands down the best sandwich spot/deli. My husband and I had the most amazing service, and the absolute best food we've had in a while. The ambiance is great, super homey and comfortable. They have some cool market items as well like fresh pastas and pizza doughs for take home. Oh! Also amazing fresh tropical blend tea. All in all, everything was fantastic. read more

Food I ordered a Pastrami sandwich to go and I was completely disappointed with the quality and quantity of pastrami that I received. It literally was a sandwich roll filled with gobbs of pickled cabbage and a very small amount of tasteless Meat, supposedly pastrami! This has to be the worst sandwich deli in OC. read more

If you haven't been here you need to go and make it a regular stop. The food was outstanding but the service from the owners Gabby and Cynthia was what made our visit excellent, 5 star! Both Cynthia and Gabby took the time to stop and talk with us, give us recommendations for our lunch and checked in with us while we were eating. Such great customer service. We had the Bronx and Cousin Eddie sandwiches and they perfect- a good amount of meat and excellent flavor. We will definitely be back and soon! I highly recommend this great deli! read more

You had me at pickle bar. I visited Fritzankotters this past Saturday after a long afternoon of yard work. I guess I wasn't the only one with sandwiches on the brain, because this eatery was filled with locals chowing down on their own lunch of choice. The wait ended up being about 20 minutes for a few cold cuts. I ended up ordering a number of Turkey Specials and the Zac Efron for myself - heated, because I'm anti-cold sandwiches. To be honest, I can't remember what was on this sandwich, but it was as delicious as the man himself. From memory alone, it had thinly sliced turkey and the best tomato aioli that I'd like to take to my grave. Fritzankotters serves a number of deli sides and favorites. I loved their fridge filled with take-and-bake lasagna! I ordered a side of their potato salad to share with the crew. This dish was tasty with thick sliced potatoes and the yummiest seasoning. I ended up keeping it all to myself. For those looking to dine-in, there's a number of tables and booths available indoors and an outdoor patio for those sunny HB days. The best part? They have a pickle bar filled with all-you-can-eat thick juicy pickles and pepperchinis. Challenge accepted. read more

20/10 The best pastrami sandwich I have ever had. I love it. This is a family business. Really not much to say besides stop reading this review and literally run to Fritzankotters. Or just order a delivery.. this place has really good homemade chocolate chip cookies also! My boyfriend ordered the Zac Effron which was the turkey sandwich with a tomato aioli which he really enjoyed but I think we both agree the cousin Eddie was the best. Hands down the mustard and the pickled cabbage combo with the Swiss. It's unreal. I'll be back like I already told yall. Cheers. Also... Thursdays they do pizza night and $3 beers. read more

Ordered sandwiches for pick up. They said it'd be about 20-30 minutes. I got there about 20 minutes later, waited in line for about 10 minutes and was told it was not ready. I stood off to the side for about another 15 minutes and my order finally came up. My pastrami with mustard and pickles was delicious; the pastrami is some of the most tender I've ever had. My issue is with the wait. I don't know if this was a typical lunch hour or they were just extra busy that day. I'll try again but if this is typical I don't know that I'll be back. I have a very limited time for lunch so I can't spend it waiting. read more

Has an old-world look...which I loved. Nice sized outdoor patio seating. I liked the self serve condiments section. There was a small vintage looking popcorn machine, that you could help yourself to complimentary popcorn. Clean. New ownership, since around 2 yrs ago. read more

I love supporting small businesses, and after getting to know the owner, they recommended their place--so of course, I had to check it out. From the moment I walked in, I loved the casual and cozy vibe and it gives an authentic deli feeling and It feels like one of those hidden gems that only locals know about. Let's talk about the food--because wow. The first time I came, I got their tri-tip sub, which is only available on Tuesdays, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Perfectly tender meat, great seasoning, and just the right amount of sauce to bring it all together. They also do pizza nights, which I tried on a different visit, and I have to say--it's just as good as the Italian restaurant I work at. Seriously, if you're a pizza lover, this place will not disappoint. And on top of all that, they have $3 beers. That alone is reason enough to stop by. If you're looking for a no-frills, consistently delicious deli with great prices and a chill atmosphere, this is the spot. I can't recommend any other deli over this one! read more

Been coming here since 1987. Was fantastic but new owners have changed it for the worse. More then doubled the price of everything. Slow service. Bad attitude to match. Last visit was $40 for two sandwiches, 1 bag chips, a coke and a bottled arrowhead (cheap terrible) water. Order messed up, sandwiches came out ten minutes apart, made wrong. Expressed issues with woman at the counter and a woman that must be one of the owners made it clear she didn't care if I ever came back. Ok. You got it. Edit to respond to owners comment: Please stop trying to spin the incredibly rude, poor service you gave yesterday. I never asked for pricing from decades ago. I was explaining to the girl at the register, who completely forgot to order my wife's sandwich, that I didn't realize I hadn't been charged for the 2nd sandwich because of the extremely high cost of the first one. I had been coming here since 1987 and up to about 4 years ago, used to come a couple times a week but the pricing and service had changed to the point I had not come in months. It's called constructive feedback. Real business owners love it. You, walked up AFTER I had explained this, not involved, not spoken to, and began your rude, arrogant comments for no reason. You wanted a fight and I didn't give you one. Just told you I wouldn't be coming back. When I pointed out how bad your attitude was you turned it up a notch. You were were not spoken down to. You spoke down to the customer. You are just completely unprofessional and don't know how to work with a customer that paid $20 for a sandwich that cost $8 in 2022 (pics of the menu on your own yelp page) and was now paying another $13.50 for a BLT. A BLT that came out on the wrong bread, hot not cold, and 3/4 was thrown away because it was so bad. I didn't order double meat. I ordered an "Old Town". A small version of the Rolls Royce. I had been told in the past, after you guys destroyed and removed most of the old menu, that I could order the old sandwiches no problem. The girl even pulled out the old menu to check exactly what it was. Apparently, your prices have risen 160% in less then 3 years. And while the Old Town you sold me was good, it wasn't any better then the one from 5 years ago. You can stand behind your "food and service" all day but customer service is king. I know you don't care if I ever come back but that's fine. Plenty of better places to eat close by. Perry's meatball sub destroys yours. read more
