The worst place on earth.

by Soulslider

The food, servcie and management are horrible. Over priced with attitude. The only pro this place has is that you can go in drunk as a skunk and act like an idiot and fit right in. Do not waste your time or money in this dump.

• Pros: Not a one
• Cons: They have too many to list.

Ok for dining in, but take out and delivery people are arrogant and make plenty of mistakes!

by jmprod

"Eating at Jerry's is a much better experience than take out or delivery. The food is fine. Never bad, fresh and decent. Certainly nothing to write home about, but still good enough if you are craving a hot. homey meal in a clean place, this place is fine. Servers are attentive and pleasant for sure. I like eating there from time to time.

I would advise against take out or delivery, however. I didn't just have one bad experience and am being emotional, but have ordered take out and delivery 5 times. Each time the person on the other end of the line grumbles and sighs, explains why what you are ordering isn't what you should be ordering (you want mayonnaise on your club sandwich so you don't have to take it apart and have it crumble as you attempt to squeeze a packet on a small triangle? Sorry...We can't put mayo on your sandwich.), or gets it completely wrong. I ordered a Pastrami Sandwich the other day, brought the bag home, and there was only half a sandwich in it! Half a sandwich!!!! Ha!

Anyway, you get the point...Ok place to dine in, if you want a decent basic meal with a nice, attentive wait staff. Ordering take out or delivery you will encounter arrogance and mistakes every time."

• Pros: Dining in staff, Good food
• Cons: Delivery and take out staff blunder constantly, and are arrogant

From borscht to burritos, this deli serves mighty portions to an eclectic, devoted crowd.

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.

It helped me pay for college

by Lisette87

Haha, I used to work there, good times. Even as a waitress, people still complained about the prices mostly. On the flip side, the portions are a bit big, so sometimes get what you pay for.

But here's a few things to help lessen your bill

-Stick with the Mazto Ball Soup. If you ask for extra chicken, sometimes, they won't charge you, hell, I never did. For 9 bucks, it's a great deal. The bowl is the side of your head.

-If you crave Bagel and Lox, dont order the Lox Platter. Stick with a Bagel and Lox spread option under Nosh in the menu. It's the same thing only the salmon is already in the cream cheese. It will save you about 10 bucks.

- If you insist on eating there, you can save money by sharing a entry with your friends, but you should order a cup of soup if you guys share a sandwich. It will fill you up more.

-If you're with a group of people and you don't want to each order individual desserts, you can ask for a slice of cake/pie and get "Midnight madness" For about 3 dollars more it wil feed 6 people as opposed to 1.

-Don't say your a friend of the owner.. The waiters don't give a patoey and it won't get your anywhere. Everyone has met Ike Stark.

-Lastly, I don't know what happened but the potatoe salad used to taste good. Maybe they switched to a cheaper brand of mayo but if you add tabasco sauce it's quite yummy.

Hope this helped. One last thing, if you're a student, the upstairs in the westwood location is a great place to study.

Long live Dorian!!!

• Pros: Big selection
• Cons: Kinda pricey - bring a friend

It Is What It Is

by LAreviewsforDATass

Ok here's my little spiel on Jerry's. Jerry's is like that one girl you have in your phone that you DO NOT want to call late on a Saturday night under any circumstances, but if your appetite is voracious enough, you'll call her anyway because you know she will be open for whatever, and it will be fine during it all, but afterwards you will most likely regret it. After sampling a variety of Jerry's menu-items over the years there are two which I can say are decent enough to get you through the night: One, is their chocolate chip pancakes which are actually crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside (how pancakes should be) and the second is their matzo ball soup which is served piled high with noodles and shredded chicken. Neither one of these dishes is worthy of anything above an "average" rating. But like I said, they will get you through the night. Everything else is downright disgusting. I just don't get it...Jerry's has a good formula...they are one of the few places that is open 24 hours and they are located in great, central Los Angeles locations. If they could serve up a decent deli sandwhich that doesn't induce immediate regurgitation, they could rule the world!!!! Oh and they need to bring their prices down about 60%. Charging the money that they do for that quality of food is just robbery, plain and simple.

• Pros: Open Late
• Cons: Everything except the fact that they are open late

BEST STAFF EVER !!

by DanaJayy

ok.. whoever honestly doesnt like this place is wayyyy to picky and stuck up to begin with. FIRST off Jerrys has anything you could POSSIBLY want. Second, the staff there is freakin AWESOME. A little man works there (really itialian) who is the nicest guy EVER. Same with a worker that has a long braid in the back. Anyways, thats not the point, the point IS that their food and service is AMAZZINGGG especially after a long night of partyin =) LOVE JERRYS.. <3

Fun experience; bad service

by tlo1223

I went late at night with some friends. We noticed a table near us had a fun, energetic waitress...but we got a girl who didn't get our drink orders right and hardly came back to check up on us. The food itself was good. The prices seemed high, but the portions are big and the food tasted good. The atmosphere was fun, and it was easy to have a conversation there. Definitely a fun hang out place.

• Pros: Fun atmosphere, great place to socialize
• Cons: Service

Overpriced, poor service, bland average food

by pinkpurplered

Went here for the first time today. Will not return!!! I expected so much more after hearing about this place. The people who took my order were not friendly or helpful at all. They seemed bored and/or could care less about you. Our order was $42 just for 3 regular sandwiches - 2 turkey and 1 roast beef -no drinks, no desserts, nothing special or extra!! I actually think they may have overcharged me, but didn't realize it until we had paid and left. The sandwiches had a fair amount of meat, but very small for the price. The bread was bland and not very fresh tasting, like bread from the day old section at the grocery store. The tiny sides of potato salad and cole slaw were average also. Don't bother going here - save your money!! Bay Cities Ialian Deli in Santa Monica has much better quality food for less money.

• Pros: none I could see
• Cons: Way overpriced, unfriendly staff, poor service, average food

Absolutely WORST service I've ever gotten

by omdspace

I will NEVER EVER EVER go here ever again. My fiancee and I heard a lot about the food here and wanted to try it out one night, so we dropped by. The restaurant was sparse due to the fact it was a Sunday night, but it took them 10 mins to acknowledge us standing at the hostess stand and seat us. After being seated, and given our menus, we were completely and utterly ignored by each and every one of their staff. not even an offer of "would you like some water" for a whole 'nother 15-20 mins until we asked to speak to a manager. not even the waiters and waitresses that I made eye contact with nor the ones that walked right by our table even came by to check on us. even though we were in no rush it just showed how little they care about their customers. of course after voicing our thoughts in a respectable manner to the manager they proceeded to try to kiss butt and reseat us in the front with their top waitress of the night but by then we were so frustrated that we just said no thanks and went to in-n-out, because we were starving by then. it wasn't as if we looked like bums or anything of the sort either. we're young professionals and honestly, I understand restaurants with bad service, I've been to a lot of asian restaurants, where it's well known that the service you get will be lacking, but I've never went to a restaurant where I was ignored for over 30 mins.

Are they kidding?

by ethan1

Maybe the worst restaurant experience I've had in memory. Completely average food (that's a rave), ridiculous prices, and the worst service (all aspects) adds up to a poor excuse for a restaurant. Perhaps a big reason why Westwood Village is a failed retail destination.

• Pros: I didn't get sick.
• Cons: I wasted an hour of my life.
