What People Are Saying About Canter's Deli

This L.A. institution is a classic example of the mid-century diner, replete with a kaleidoscopic tree-patterned ceiling and flying saucer-like lamps. Open all night, the sprawling eatery is packed 24/7. After last call, it's loaded with barhoppers slurping away on hangover preventions, and by sun up, it's filled with noshing retirees. The menu has a Talmudic level of complexity, but stay away from traditional diner fare like burgers and fries and stick to the cold cuts--these mile-high deli sandwiches are near godliness. A study in excess, Eddie Cantor's Delight is a skyscraping arrangement…

Still Great
by Steve Rosenberg
Surprised to see some negative reviews. We've never had a bad experience at Canter's. And we've been going there for 10 years now and continue to do so every time we're in L.A.
Staff has ALWAYS been friendly, service is prompt, prices are comparable to other delis. The bakery is to die for.
And P. S. - They thank you on your way out.
- Pros: Traditional Jewish Deli Food & Atmosphere
- Cons: They don't have a branch in Palm Springs

Not even close to being a decent deli
by Cos23
If anyone thinks that Canter's is a good deli, go back to the McDonalds that you came from.
I've been going to Canter's on & off for over 50 years. What was once a pretty decent deli has evolved into an overpriced, deteriorating quality wannabe. The food is not good. There's no other way to put it. And it's too bad. If you want to complain, they'll laugh at you. The manager's act like they're doing you a favor by just seating you. A once good spot is now a "Beware" place.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Food, Attitude

The food is unbelieveably bland, the atmosphere is great if you're looking for smarmy.
The Details on Canter's Deli
The Extras:
Adjoined to Canter's secondary dining room, the Kibitz Room serves bargain-basement beer on tap. There's also a small stage where local bands, including the Wallflowers, cut their teeth.
Parking:
Get validation for the lot, and you'll get an hour and a half of free parking. After that, it's $1 an hour.
