34 Best Delis near Santa Monica

“Best Italian deli and market in southern California. Extremely authentic and high quality foods. Any kind of Italian food you can think of they have. Went in for a sub and left with two of them. If you’re ordering a sub make sure you grab a ticket at the counter because they will call the numbers based on whose turn it is to order. Gotta check out the market as well. I recommend their signature sub the godmother but both were wicked good.“

“Sandwiches are very good 😌 will definitely be back for more and very fast service and friendly servers 👍👍👍“

“I was hankering for a good pastrami sandwich so tried this place based on the beloved reviews. Classic Jewish deli and everyone in there was enjoying themselves. Good sign. I ordered a half sandwich and it was divine. I wish the breading had held together better from the juiciness of the pastrami. Coleslaw was also pretty good. It was all super rich for my taste. Glad I only ate half cause a whole would have made my colon a rotting corpse.“

“I would like to express my appreciation to Olga, the owner of the store, as well as one of her staff members, Tatyana, who are always incredibly helpful and patient with all my questions. They are well-versed in the product and introduce their customers to their national culture. The store sells good-quality food and souvenirs. The positive energy in the store makes your shopping experience enjoyable, and the salespeople are always helpful in making your choices.“

“I visited this place last time I visited my niece who live in LA. I tried their pizza. It was very good perfect. I also love Arabic fettuce salad and tried their coffee. Very friendly service.“

“Yesterday my husband and I came in here for the very first time it was recommended by a really good dear friend of ours broke my husband and I had the chicken are turkey Nana sandwiches that are very good and then we ordered the corned beef sandwiches that have later in the evening absolutely delicious and I love their lemonade and we plan to come back in the near future thank you“

“Whether it’s for grocery/deli shopping or made to order, generously sized delicious sandwiches, this place is great! High quality Eastern European food at fair prices. Once you try this place you’ll be back regularly. This is an honest recommendation. A great place to grab lunch!“

“Ever crave a NY style BEC bagel but you live in West LA? Look no further than New York Bagel and Deli! While there are many good bagel places in the city, this has the best bagel quality and value in my opinion. They do everything, from bagel with shmear and lox to BEC and even pizza, all for an affordable price. Highlight is the sandwich combo which is a fat bagel sandwich and a combo. It's my go to for a filling breakfast for a long day!“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“I work in the area so I passed this place often and I’ve been wanting to try it for quite some time. A lot of my coworkers have said great things about it so I decided to give it a try today. It’s located right on Santa Monica Blvd on a gas station property inside where you pay for gas. One end of it is the market and the other end is for the gas station. In between are rows of the refrigerators and aisles of snacks so it was really nice to have all those drink options. The lady behind the counter was really polite and it was just a really quick and easy experience to get my lunch.

The menu is really large and they specialize in sandwiches. My order was ready shortly after I placed the order and it really hit the spot. I would recommend, especially if you are in a hurry or looking for a good quick casual meal.“

“I was on the lookout for a decent sub sandwich place and found Olive It on Google. The inside of the establishment is nice and quaint. I got the Neapolitan Sandwich with a bag of plantain chips and a soda which was not only delicious but also very reasonably priced; for the same amount I'd get regular at Jersey Mike's.

This is a good small business that makes great sandwiches. And if you're looking for a Subway or Jersey Mike's replacement, give Olive It a try.“

“Love Magee’s! The absolute best in meat, mashed potatoes, and gravy!“

“I wasn't impressed with their selection of ice cream. They have single serve ice cream and also larger sizes. Their prices are incredible. Ice cream are imported and are very fancy In comparison to local convenient stores ♡Very impressed!“

“The convenience store had a fantastic array of fresh produce and essential toiletries. The staff was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the aisles with a smile. The cleanliness and organization of the store were impeccable. It's evident they prioritize quality products for their customers. Despite the top-notch quality, the prices were surprisingly reasonable, making it a go-to spot for my daily essentials. A definite recommendation for anyone seeking convenience without compromising on quality.“

“It’s a great dining experience that is not seen very often anywhere.“

“Solid brunch menu (I had the oysters and the Eggs Benedict with a Brut Rose Champagne and the trifle for dessert). My server Corbin was very friendly and attentive. The outdoor space is cool, trendy, and hip, but not over-the-top. The music pulses, but it’s not a distraction to conversation. I’ve been looking for good places since moving to LA almost 6 months ago. This was one of the few times I wasn’t disappointed.“

“Great sandwiches, salads, and cannolis, and the service is fast and friendly!“

“We had several amazing experiences at this place. We ended up going several times. Food was great as well as the wait staff and I got to talk to the owner for a long while Thursday as I asked her we could hang out a bit after lunch while waiting to go to the airport!! We were on an 8 day trip and are there FOUR times. The atmosphere is wonderful but the food is amazing.“

“I used the Vons app today for a one hour delivery time frame via the Carlsbad, CA store. After the third-party member picked up the order and did not deliver for almost three hours, I requested a refund for the melted ice cream which I received promptly. I certainly did not expect to see this a couple of hours later: a refund for the entire purchase...thank you Vons for going above and beyond with your customer service!“

“My husband and I absolutely love this place!! The food is exquisite!… Simple whole ingredients taste so delicious!.. but most of all I love, Maggie(Maria Magdalena!) She always has a smile on her face and never hesitates to come over and ask us if we need anything!… Everybody here is amazing great people, skills, and customer service!!!“

“I've been coming to this market for years and u have nothing but pleasant services and excellent food. I recommend this deli with both thumbs up. But of course you cant please everyone there always will be someone unhappy. But such as Life! God Bless you and yours ! Good luck on all your future endeavors!“

“Excellent food and excellent service! Looking forward to having a full meal there next time we are in Beverly Hills!“

“Nice outdoor dining and the food was good“

“We love Fat Sal's.
We go there for smash burgers mostly. I definitely haven't eaten every one, but of all the smash burgers I've had all over the city, Fat Sal's is to me the best. Lacey and crispy around the edge, American cheese as God intended on a smashburger, good bun and you can add lettuce and tomato if you want. Sometimes we'll get a loaded side of fries as well. The menu is full of delicious sounding, but a little over the top combinations of things piled up on a smashburger or a sandwich. I'd love to try them, but the regular smashburger is so delicious. They have a pastrami smashburger on the menu, but it has chicken tenders and a bunch of other stuff on it as well. I don't want all of that, I want a smashburger with griddled pastrami added to it, maybe some Swiss. The regular smashburger, maybe with an extra Patty added is the go-to for both of us.
The staff working there all knows and recognizes us. They're very friendly, and very customer service oriented. They always want to make sure we have everything we need and that we're taken care of, they'll swing by the counter where we're eating to see if we need any more ketchup, napkins, etc. It's really next-level service for this kind of a fast casual. Lots of TVs up high on the walls showing whatever sports is on, plus a Fat Sal's Venice Beach skater video running on a loop. Recommend if you like a delicious smashburger in a cool low-key environment with great service. And who doesn't?“

“Un lugar muy bueno para desayunar comer ho cenar ya sea solo con la novia ho con la amante los meseros muy amigables muy atentos a su trabajo te sales con ganas de volver pronto ya muy pocos lugares son así. Muy excelente lugar“

“Самое лучшее место в ЛА у Кости“

“The holy land of Hollywood. Canter’s is a staple of Los Angeles, and has been visited by many of the greats and legends. With an extremely impressive menu list, you will be happy with whatever you get. The pastry counter is excellent with some great black and white cookies.“

“My quick, quick, quick LOCATION right here close by me! Those PRICES are well WORTH ittt!!! An 🤗 Oh yessss, that DIRTY RICE is the BOMB!!!!“

“Going strong since the early 70s!“

“One of the best Jewish Deli around. It is an institution. Has a great bakery and Deli meats to go. Our favorite thing to start our meal is the half chicken in a pot with extra Matzah Balls for the leftover soup to bring home for another day. I love the dresser sandwich and make sure to ask for their yummy pickles with it. If they have them I like to buy a bag of bagel chips to take home for the leftover soup. The have magnificent hamtashins, great carrot cake, fantastic chocolate dipped macaroons. The list goes on and on. My wife loves their Monte Cristo sandwich. It is always a special treat to go to Canters in the Fairfax area of LA. I feel like I am going back to my grandma's house force meal. My wife is not Jewish and she loves this place. The waiters and waitresses work very hard to make you feel special!“
