Matias FragolaApril 29, 2016Good burgers, you can sit on the tables where Guns N' Roses met, Mick Jagger or Obama ate, etc
Allie TrelaMarch 9, 2012The fruit was so fresh! Had mango, peach, grapefruit, orange, strawberry, watermelon, honey dew. Cantaloupe, pineapple, and grapes!! What a delight!
Try the Hot Corned Beef On Rye With Swiss - Simple. Classic. Delightful. Full of memories and a touch of love.
Laurie D.August 21, 2011Avocado melt is really good. I think next time though I will omit the tomato. Substitute sweet potato fries for regular fries if you wish, they're delicious.
kyung enriquezApril 18, 2011definitely make sure to get the matzo ball soup with the noodles and carrots. Hot pastrami was excellent, but go for the canters fairfax pastrami + corned beef.
robert gertzAugust 23, 2010Nothing like a Canter's Breakfast to get you started off on the right foot for another great summer week. And gotta grab a potatoe knish as I run out the door! Same great food and the same great "Cant Read more
Paul SmithOctober 29, 2015Cool old school Jewish deli. Have a pastry and check out kibitz room next door.
Kevin SpanglerSeptember 8, 2012Had the turkey pastrami on gluten free bread. It was probably the best gluten free read I've had. Hook it up.
Torrey NommesenJune 9, 2013Say yes to the pickles, and get the Fairfax or some other form of Pastrami.
lauri is amazing. i seriously love her. you would be lucky to sit in her section.
Avradeep ChakrabartiAugust 7, 2013Posting from a Brit. Matzo ball soup- quite nice. Hot pastrami roll dip- meh. Apple pie with ice cream- delicious!
John DixonSeptember 26, 2013Prices have gone up, but so has food cost everywhere. Still a fantastic classic deli.
Famous deli. Swing by and grab a sandwich to go, or sit and stay awhile. Insanely friendly staff who really know their trade.- robert gertzAugust 29, 2010A potatoe Knish, along w/ any other Breakfast item and your in good shape. Save some room for the Bakery on the way out, if you dare!
Indira GonzalezMay 5, 2012Either if you're a tourist or a local this place is a must. Staff here are is down to earth and friendly!
Zack KantorNovember 26, 2016The Rueben/Pastrami is an OG move, but not quite New York status (Latkes also good)
Kelly FloresMay 17, 2014Some kind of bread comes with the Mac & Cheese; not sure if it's "garlic bread" but it's BOMB!!! 👍
Best place ever! Old school vibe, great food, landmark of Hollywood.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014David LeFevre, chef of Manhattan Beach Post, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Brooklyn Ave. sandwich. Read more
Los AngelesNovember 12, 2013Softball-sized matzoh balls in steamy chicken broth are a meal on their own.
Order the Turkey Rueben's sandwich, add a Choco shake and you'll be ready to go to bed...
Jodi FlickerJune 7, 2011The guys from THE BIG BANG THEORY would love Canter's sandwiches: the ratio of meat to condiment delivers results. Don't forget them at Emmy time!
Kelly 🍰September 1, 2012Ask for pickles. Hot pastrami FTW. Get the melted avocado sando if you're a veg
Great cold borscht soup. Awesome blues music in the bar at night!
Ellen McGrodyMay 28, 2015Cookies! Matzo ball soup! Late nights! Challah bread! Random celebrity sightings!
Suma KashiOctober 15, 2012Use their free parking lot, but mind the time (it's only free for 1.5 hours and requires validation)
Stanley JacobusSeptember 13, 2013Saw Brittany Murphy here once. Usually spot a star or three each visit.
Akiko IOctober 24, 2013Pastry section only: 30 min free parking for deli purchase. Everything is old fashioned and very sweet. Poppy seed strudel was too sweet to eat a bite.. Not my ally.
