Best ham hocks for beans and soups.Plus lots of cold cuts you can't find anymore.The sausages make you want to take one of each home!

Schreiner's is such a neighborhood gem and institution. They are a deli with all types of delicacies and a full meat counter. The prepared sandwiches and other food sound wonderful. It is extremely clean and does not smell like a typical meat counter. The selection of smoked and cured meats as well as sausages is impressive. I used to go to Alpine Village before it closed, and this shop provides similar German style products. The service is great. They answer your questions and provide great recommendations. My favorite hands down is the butter cheese which is packed in the refrigerated case, sliced and ready to go. That cheese with pumpernickel bread (which they also offer) is so comforting. There are multiple types of salami, with the German style being my favorite. I really enjoyed the imported caraway crackers which was a lighter alternative to the more solid breads. It's the type of place where you will always find delicious specialty snacks with each visit. read more

If you advertise that you're open until 5 PM, then act like it. Turning customers away at 4:35 because you already cleaned the slicer is lazy, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. People have better things to do than waste their time driving to your shop just to be sent away because your staff decided to shut down early. Change your hours to 4:30 if that's when you actually stop serving read more

Schreiner's used to hold a strong tradition and a wonderful practice of kindness and hospitality that went a long way... long enough to get the small and quaint establishment up to this point. And I was pleased to get to experience Schreiner's for a good 14 or so years up until now. But my visit yesterday with my son was the soul crushing final visit. Schreiner's has a new staff of younger people, many of whom exhibit an unfortunate lack of hospitality, and for an establishment that serves sandwiches and deli meats, if kindness and gratitude for your loyal guests is not enough for you to manage from your position with such a once great establishment, then you my young friends are without a doubt not cut out to be in the food service industry. I give Schreiner's a few years before they are shut down if this new staff has any say. read more

I used to love going there because every employee made you feel so welcome with their warm smiles. The food is exactly what I grew up with in Europe, so I was always in heaven. I recently returned after a year away (May 2026), and I was shocked. The new employees were incredibly rude. There was no sense of hospitality whatsoever: no smiles, no warmth, and not even basic politeness. The cashier, for example, a young woman in her early twenties, could benefit from serious customer service training. I left with my favorite foods, but also feeling very disappointed and upset. This store has been an institution since 1952, but it won't continue to thrive if this decline in customer service continues. read more

Outstanding homemade sausages - we enjoy to take home to grill - chicken ( all flavors) - a hit for the ladies in the family- I enjoy the bratwurst to boil in beer and then quick drop on to grill Easy parking in small parking lot in front or on the side Great selection of fresh cold cuts, steaks and wieners Eclectic selection of European condiments and sweet snacks read more

The cold cuts are excellent as is the butcher section and their selection of cheese. Unfortunately I cannot recommend the sandwiches. Today my son and I had stale French rolls with a miserly portion of corned beef and tritip. I was very disappointed. I knows the cost of beef is high but I prefer paying more for fresh bread and a larger portion of beef. In the future I will continue to buy meats but not the sandwiches . read more

Schreiner's is an institution! My family depends on them for so many of our holiday meals, but more than that they are the best deli in the whole Los Angeles area. The friendly staff will take care of your every need and you can't go wrong with any of their delicious sausages! Also, they have the most charming old world deli feel inside the store with all kinds of treats from Germany and other European countries! read more

A delightful deli. The choice of meats are bountiful, and the deli section is traditional. I ordered a polish dog from there that hit the spot, their condiment choices are traditional: sauerkraut, mustard, etc. no onions however. 10/10 will go back to stock up on knackwursts, traditional dogs, and brats. Their German beer selection is great too, if you are passing by, you absolutely need to stop by, parking is a bit tight though. read more

Love the snappy skinned hot dogs. That's pretty much all I buy there to be honest. Only one time tho I didn't notice and when I got them home realized they were dried out. Perfect for adding to soups, beans and such, but not eating in a bun. Now I always make sure I watch closely while they are being selected. Only that one time as I said! read more

A classic I can never get over. The sandwiches remind me of my childhood and it hasn't changed. The food service and overall market is what makes it a classic. read more

You can smell the smoked meat once you enter the door! The staff is always friendly and helpful, and some of them have been there for decades! read more

Awesome Polish Sausages- Both the HOT and the regulars! Grill 'em or boil 'em. The personnel are sincere, professional and know the products - trust them read more

First time coming to the store, was welcomed by a rude Hispanic woman behind the counter. Asked me "what do you want?" .. with a rude tone. How about greeting a customer with .. how may I help you? Owners, hire workers who have skills in customer service.. read more

We've visited Schreiner's for many years, its deli meats used to be authentic german tasting, however, I could "taste" the decline of its traditionell cuts from year to year...the names are the same as in Germany, the taste has taken a typical trend towards american taste, super salty, watery, changed processing to cheaper, faster, products To put it into perspective, I have a butcher degree from Germany and was heavily involved in sausage making, therefore I cannot recommend Schreiner's as a place that sells "authentic" german cold cuts. read more

Too bad about this business place very bad sandwiches very dry no flavor for too much what u paid !? Owner need to fix this issue read more

Schreiner's Fine Sausages - Paid almost 14 dls for this !??? All dry everything disgusting wow I'm surprised cause this business been forever now a no no !!! - Meat Shops Near Me - Glendale, California

I've been coming to Schreiner's Fine Sausages in Montrose for 4 decades, introduced to it by my stepfather who would bring us pastrami with swiss cheese on Saturdays. The staff can be friendly and knowledgeable, though every once in a while, you get a bit of that classic cold German service. It's a great deli with excellent food finds--especially the European candies/sweets. Their sandwiches are always delicious, and they have a solid selection of soft drinks and beer. Always a reliable spot for quality eats and unique snacks! It's on my regular rotation for when I get a crazing for a great pastrami with swiss cheese on a roll. read more

This is a hidden gem! They are a butcher shop/market/sandwich bar. Butcher shop - They have really high quality meats, and are suppliers for some LA restaurants. We have purchased steaks, chicken and sausages for grilling at home and always been happy. Market - They have tons of crazy imported European items. I see cookies and candy that my grandparents used to have in their home. At Christmas they have tons of good holiday stuff. Sandwich bar - they have simple, good quality sandwiches that are cheap. Brisket and turkey are my favorites. read more

Schreiner's Fine Sausages - Killer pretzels! - Meat Shops Near Me - Glendale, California

They tried to pass off boiled ham for Lachsschinken thinking I would not know the difference. Anyway it was my last time bothering with that place as they dont have anything authentic German to really go there for. After Old World in Huntington Beach said they no longer are allowed to sell it as per federal law I decided to just let Youtube show me how to make it myself. Other than that, if you are actually looking for real authentic German food go to German Deli/Old World in Huntington Beach. Oh and maybe the Gourmet Sausage Company in Glendale - but that little shop has a limited selection. read more

Extremely clean store. Awesome job. Customer service has declined so much. I guess this is the new norm. Employees not that friendly. I ordered a brisket sandwich with cheese. The meat and cheese were placed in the microwave to heat and melt. I wish it was heated another way, like toaster oven. Sandwich had very little meat. Just a tip vacuum seal your frozen items. Doesn't look appetizing to see freezer burn on food. This place just wasn't for me. read more

Lucas provides the greatest customer service on demand. I have been coming here for years, and the quality never ceases to disappoint. This is one of those old historic places that takes you back in time. There's nothing else quite like it out there. read more

I suppose I should only review it based on the sausage--and the sausage sandwiches are pretty good. But they microwaved my pretzel. I mean, that is just a cardinal sin. It just came out a mushy, lifeless mess. The meat and sausages in market side of the place look pretty good, I'd probably stop here to grab some stuff for a BBQ or something. But the beeping of the microwave heating up my pretzel haunts me in my nightmares. read more

Nice old school looking establishment with quality meats and good simple sandwiches. I usually get my sandwiches with double meat. Staff is great, even the younger people working here are nice which is unusual these days. I actually buy my bread here too and find it to be better than what I get from the bakery next door. Usually go here once a week, get quite a few of my regular staples from here. Whole family likes it. read more

Our favorite deli in the area for 15+ years. My dad used to bring me here often for a sandwich made at their back counter. Still hits the spot to this day, though I will say they're a bit smaller in size than they used to be for a higher price, which I don't love. I do love the cozy, no-fuss feel inside, stocked with lots of goodies like varied pickled items, mustards, cheeses, beers and sodas, snacks etc. that remind my mom a lot of her days living in Germany. Their meats are high quality and delicious from the duck breast to the bologna. Try the knackwurst and thank me later. read more

Very helpful counter people. They make the sausage in house! Hard to find German food any more.

best German food in the area. Everything is fresh, service is excellen. Has fresh and frozen food.

Great selection of meats and German mustard! The sandwiches were great and everyone was very friendly and kind.

Great place for a quick simple sandwich! Nice selection of dogs, lunch meats and sausages. Will be back! read more

One of the best kept secrets in La Crescenta and Montrose!! Best sandwich in town and made to order. Outstanding customer service and delicious soup too! Such charm and character. I love bringing friends and family. Happy to discover this place just this month!!! read more

The sandwiches are very delectable at this German sandwich, potato salad, cheese, candy and all kinds of deli meats as well as bratwursts. I really enjoy their Black Forest ham sandwich on a roll. I have been eating at Schreiner's Fine Sausages Restaurant and Deli for about five decades with my sisters. When my parents were alive, they would take us here to pick up lunch. Yummy!!! They also have food items like spatzel from Germany that you can prepare from a box. This deli/restaurant is located in Montrose, California. It is highly recommended by myself!!! The ambiance itself is pretty minimalistic. However, the items and food from Germany are very interesting to look at and purchase. And if you love marzipan or German gummy candies in all kinds of flavors, this place is definitely for you!!! They also tend to have German items like shampoo and conditioner at this German market. read more

This place gives *Really small portions for their sandwiches. When a sandwich has a few pickles, a couple squirts of mustard, and two slices of meat, it's reasonable for it to cost $5-6. That's what the sandwiches used to cost a few months ago. Now they're $10-$12 with the SAME two slices of meat... I got the BBQ brisket and paid $11.89, thinking I was charged for two. Prices go up, but the service and portions go down? Usually, an establishment either raises the price or maybe puts less product, not both. read more

A delicious, comforting neighborhood staple. One worth driving to even if you're nowhere nearby!

$34.24 my total amount. I came there on 01/18/23: had it on my bookmarks since last year and decided to come here out of the blue. I found parking around the side of the building (private). I walk in and wasn't greeted. I stood there at the counter to place a order in front of the deli and the both employees ignored me. No eye contact, words were spoken. I said excuse me, is the deli open and the woman behind the counter rolled her eyes and said go to the cashier. The cashiers tone and body was of a statue with no sign of life. A blank stare on her face with a mumble. I ordered the bbq tri tip on rye bread for a extra $0.60 and it was delicious. It wasn't big but I already had a couple breaskfast items earlier in the day so it was enough for me. (Kind of small) I had my choice of different sides and I chose a German potato salad and really enjoyed it to the last bite. I wasn't offered any size but a tiny plastic cup. I definitely would order that again next time. I bought some cookies, chips, and chocolate candies for my house. I almost bought shampoo but this place is definitely not safe. I nearly cut my finger on the glass shelf they have near the men's shampoo section. I kept looking at my finger while I was browsing the store and decided to skip the shampoo after all that trouble. I wish they had more German products that were in German and not German products that are in English text. I prefer to buy foreign products in other languages as a variety of products I allow in my house. Again I'm being very generous with my 2 stars because I I really enjoyed the bbq tri tip & potato salad. They lost the other 3 stars for not being friendly at all. I wouldn't recommend this place to a single soul and I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. You definitely get more German items at World Market. By the way they don't have any German soda!!! Shaking my head. #update# It's been a couple hours and I completely feel sick to my stomach. (Went to restroom) now I am having pain in my stomach!!!! read more

I came across their cute little establishment today as I was searching for a place to have lunch. It's a nice shop that sells meats, candies and sandwiches! I ordered a chicken salad sandwich and was super disappointed! The sandwich was soaked in Mayo and mustard and I could not even taste the chicken salad!! Yuck! I had asked for Rye bread and it came on white bread. The staff is nice and everything but I will not be coming back! They do have a nice meat counter with sausages and German offerings! The candy they carry looked yummy! The elder couple that runs the store is super nice! read more

Small unique market in the Montrose area. They sell imported beer, food items, crackers and more. Lots of cold cuts sold by the pound and frozen food section with bratwurst selection. German and European specialty food items also available. They have a deli counter in the back serving sandwiches and more. Reasonably priced. Outdoor sitting is perfect during the pandemic. read more

Worst Service EVER!!!! "Closing" at 4:45pm when it says they close @5:30pm online?? They refused to serve us as we rushed in. When I was shocked and disappointed they couldn't help me with my over $100 order, the cashier just said, "I guess you're having a bad day." Are you freaking kidding me?? So RUDE!!! They blamed their early closing on the owner. And that he will be upset at them for not leaving at 5p. Seriously?? So FYI owner: your workers are turning away $100 orders cuz they need to close down 45min early at cant use one slicer past 4:30p. YOU JUST LOST A CUSTOMER OF 45yrs. Sad to leave the nostalgia, but i rather go to a place i don't have to BEG for their business in this economy ! read more

We came to the area last week to visit the bakery next door and unfortunately couldn't go to Schreiner's because they didn't open until 10 AM. So this week we planned to go there after a trip to Huntington Library. The assortment of meats were very impressive and we left with a pound of bacon and a pound of smoked sausage, partly because there was so much to choose from it was a difficult decision. Those items were on the list of items that we definitely wanted to try and we ended up cooking all the sausages that night for dinner...delicious. This is an excellent place to meet your meat. read more

Believe it or not, I have been coming to Schreiners for over 70 years, ever since I was a little tyke. They used to hand me a slice of lunch meat over-the-counter. My favorite item is their liverwurst. I love a sandwich with it. Their housemade sausages are also delicious. Overall, a nice little gem in Montrose. you really can't go wrong with anything you buy there. The bakery next-door also puts out amazing bread. read more
