What People Are Saying About Jerry's Famous Deli

Featured Review

In Short – This after hours deli is a popular late-night nosh spot for locals and tourists alike. Cold cut-loving celebrities, such as Jerry Seinfeld and Larry Flynt, have been spotted digging into triple-decker sandwiches--pastrami, turkey, Reubens and Monte Cristos are house favorites. The menu features hundreds of other items, as well, and crosses multiple ethnicities. A broad selection of vegetarian-friendly salads and pastas are also available.

Editor's Tips

Save Time:
Jerry's delivery vans zip all over the L.A. area and it creates customized deli meat and smoked fish platters for any take-out occasion.
The Extras:
Steamed veggies, pastas, rice dishes, tangy Mediterranean salad, meatless burritos and veggie burgers are just a few of the meatless options. This is still L.A., after all.

Gets Worse Every Year

by Stanley225 at Citysearch

This is not a deli. It's a pretend deli. The menu is way too large to make a quality product. The service can be really bad. Late night you can forget about it. I would avoid this place. Even if you have a sick relative at Cedar's, walk the block to the Beverly Center where they have a sufficient food court and if you walk one more block there are several decent restaurants on La Cienega. The Grand Luxe Cafe is one of them and puts this place to shame. The Jerry's at the beach is a little better, but I would just avoid this one. Greasy tables included.

worst service ever by mary !!!

by elmatador123 at Citysearch

Definetly not what i expected. when my waitress was taking my order, i felt rushed i wasnt even finished ordering when my waitress walked away from me. I ordered a chicken quesadilla. when i got my meal it seamed as if i ordered a chicken soup, i think the bus boy cooked it. I asked my waitress if i can get another one. It was also horrible, and over priced. If their gona charge that much they should at least use chicken breast. The only good thing i can say about jerry's is they have a good desert menu.

  • Pros: desert menu
  • Cons: horrible service

Pretty Bad - Never going back

by ual320 at Citysearch

Greek salad was poor at best. Just mixed greens, no romaine, no lemon, cheap oil and vinegar, white onion (not red onioin), no bell pepper, no pepperocini, no cucumber, no chopped parsley, and bad feta. Other than that, it was a good greek salad.

Pastrami sandwich was salty and light on the meat.

I had not been to Jerry's in several years. I was at the hospital and my wife wanted a pastrami sandwich.

While eating I remember our last meal was pretty bad too. I'll try to remember not to go back. I had been to Nate'n'Als a few weeks back - wow, what a difference! Plus, Jerry's was expensive - talk about bad value. If you are going to charge a lot, at least have the decency to serve good food.

  • Pros: I did not die
  • Cons: Bad food - for a restaurant, that's about it.

  • Pros: easy valet, soup
