33 Best Delis near Santa Monica

“This place is probably one of the only spots in santa monica you can get a great sandwich for less than $20. They have been around for over 100 years. Defiantly a must if you visit santa monica. order online about 20 minutes before you go to get your sandwich faster.“

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

“WOW! If you are from LA or visiting LA this is a MUST! My dad has been eating here for 40 years and called me to meet him for lunch yesterday at Fromin’s! I work less than 10 mins away and dad asked if he could order for me, so I arrived and a Open Faced Hot Turkey Sandwich was put on the table the second I walked in by a Older bald gentleman who had personality and character that was so warming… he made me smile and like I belonged! The Hot Turkey Sandwich was smothered in Gravy, not too much but not too little, perfect! I had a nice big helping of Mashed Potatoes on the side smothered in Turkey Gravy which was OMG good! I can not say enough about how amazing the Turkey was! I had a side of fresh fruit which was also plentiful… and it didn’t disappoint either, all the fruit was fresh cut and super sweet! I would eat here every single day if I could, do not let the prices scare you…when it comes to good food in LA, anyone should understand to turn a profit you have to charge. I believe that hot turkey sandwich was about $27 but like I said I would eat it every single day if I could!
To top it all off when I was leaving I met one of the owners which was a lady who said she owned this place for 40 years as well! She was super nice, but I could tell she was all about business as she should be!
I just wanted to make sure I reviewed this place because it isn’t very often you find a special place like this… and when I find a special place I like to review it and make it known because I want it to stay open forever! Don’t think about it, JUST GO AND TRUST ME! I’m 260 pounds for a reason, I like to eat!!!! A huge plus for me as well was knowing this place is the Definition of Kosher! Everything is fresh! It was a Privilege to eat here and I deeply disrespect any person who says otherwise!“

“Great selection of items! They have a lot of medicine and canned items. Try the Kievski tort if you want something authentic (it’s a Ukrainian-style cake that’s made with nuts and a little drier than American types). For all the people crying because it doesn’t only have Ukrainian products, most stores are Slavic stores with a mix from different countries. So no, you’re never going to find a store that’s only Ukrainian or only Russian because people in those regions eat similar things. Take your politics elsewhere instead of trying to bring down a small business with your narcissistic virtue signaling.“

“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.“

“First time there, the food was awesome and customer service was excellent.“

“Everything!!! No really the Sandwiches are the best, better that Brent's, and blows Canters away.“

“Great atmosphere!! Great food“

“We were going to be stuck in traffic anyway so we figured we might as well take the time to get good food on Sunset Blvd, and it was worth it. They let me pay to upgrade the Vienna hot dog fries to chili cheese fries, and my wife's pastrami was awesome, as everyone already knows.“

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

“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.“

“NOTE: 75 cents surcharge for entrees containing eggs due to the egg shortage

Budget lunch options in Sawtelle are hard to come by. At NY Bagel and Deli, you can get a good old fashion new york style bagel for less than $10 (including an add on and the egg surcharge). Their bagels seemed to be made in house. I found their everything bagel to be delicious! It was very filling as well.

I came later around 1pm and they ran out of hashbrowns. Hoping they have hashbrowns the next time I visit!“

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

“Your one stop shop for breakfast burritos, sandwiches, salads, wraps, Mexican food, burgers, and much more.

I love this place so much. Great prices. Food is always satisfying and the service is quick.

My favorites are the double play breakfast burrito and the chicken Caesar wrap.

I miss the old online app and I wish they were open for dinner/weekends, but it’s still a truly valuable community establishment that we need to support!“

“Today I stopped by to eat at this establishment. I liked the food, very tasty, like home. The staff, nice girls, served me perfectly. I will definitely come to this establishment again and recommend it to my friends! Thank you very much for being there!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Самое лучшее место в ЛА у Кости“

“Amazing sandwiches and burgers here!! I love the Fat Jerry!! Loaded with chicken tenders, mozz sticks, steak & cheese, fries and more!! All their grub is fire especially late night!! Karim is the man! He’s running this place on point. Definitely check this spot out next time you’re in Encino. Fat Sals have more locations throughout LA too.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“My favorite gem in LA. Every time I’m sick, my boyfriend gets me matzah ball soup, and it really is magical Jewish penicillin. It always makes me feel better. I dream about the chocolate rugelach. Delicious baked goods. Amazing service, Canter’s family-owned and they really do everything with love!“

“Nice outdoor dining and the food was good“

“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“

“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!“
