Factor's Famous Deli

In Short – This vast eatery's movie poster-lined walls surround comfy booths and tidy tables. Crowds ebb and flow, but do-it-yourselfers continuously cruise the deli counter for take-home treats. Beef or turkey pastrami comes piled high: Mounds of thinly sliced meat, coleslaw and Russian dressing wedged between two slices of rye are the order of the day, while sides include knishes, matzo ball soup and kasha varnishkas. As for dessert, expect everything from simple meringue cookies to calorie-laden brownie sundaes.

A. It is great deli food with very large portions, especially of the delicious meats.” “flavorful knishes, juicy and tender pastrami sandwiches, crispy potato pancakes, and ironically for a deli, its tantalizingly cheesy mozzarella sticks.” “In addition to their free wireless and sports TVs, they make the perfect reuben - three inches of meat, just enough kraut, melted swiss and perfectly toasted rye.”

This one of the old, consistent delis that won't let you down. The service staff is professional and prompt. All the food comes out the way you would expect. Much better than Jerry's Deli, which is neither Famous nor a deli!

A Jew's home away from home, leave it to Factor's to keep me hooked. In addition to their free wireless and sports TVs, they make the perfect reuben - three inches of meat, just enough kraut, melted swiss and perfectly toasted rye. Hi, I'm Kika, and I have a reuben problem. Hi Kika...

Decent deli food

by jenheidir

I?m a big fan of Factors? flavorful knishes, juicy and tender pastrami sandwiches, crispy potato pancakes, and ironically for a deli, its tantalizingly cheesy mozzarella sticks. The restaurant has a relatively new buffet line of hot, side-dish deli classics, including mac & cheese as well as mashed potatoes. Rich pretty much sums up the majority of the desserts Factors offers, including its lemon and brownie bars as well as its blackout chocolate cake. You can order off the menu in the dining room, decorated with movie posters and other memorabilia, or get take-out from deli and dessert counter. The restaurant also delivers to within a three-mile radius, but service is slow, so be sure to put in your order a good two hours before you want to eat. What also makes Factors unique among the other delis in the Pico-Robertson region is that a) it?s not a kosher restaurant b) it?s open from Friday to Saturday night during the weekly Jewish Sabbath.

Poor Service, Poor quality food

by asharpie

I read about the deli as the 9th best deli in LA out of 10. I wanted to love this place, but I couldn't. The meat was tough and fatty. The coffee cold. We waited 10 minutes for 2 glasses of water. Parking was awful. No, I cannot recommend this place. I'd rather enjoy Nate N Al's on Beverly Drive.
