Okay, I used to come to Jerry's back when they were open for 24 hours. I brought my mother and aunt to this Jerry's and it had the most exceptional matzo ball soup. I inhaled it like a Dyson vacuum. In addition the vegetable sandwich was so enormous that my aunt couldn't open her mouth wide enough to eat it...and it was almost comical. Something different there...the service was exceptionally fast and polite!!! I shall be returning!!!!!

Reason for visiting: waiting to pick up my dad after his dental surgery, which was across the street Date/time of visit: Wednesday afternoon, ~1:00 PM Pacific Parking: free in the adjacent lot, shared with other businesses. Parking can also be found on the side streets, metered parking on Ventura. Didn't see a valet option. Party size: 2 Environment/ambience: wasn't too crowded, mostly older folks since it was still early in the afternoon. Sat at the counter. Service: service at the counter was great. She was easy and fun to talk to. Also come around often to check on us. Food: didn't order any food myself but my brother had the appetizer sampler (mozzarella sticks and onion rings), which looked good. Had a few beers (Heineken); they offer Stella, Heineken, and few other beers. Bottles only and no drafts, along with wine. Cost: wasn't too bad, ~$40 for 5 beers and the sampler appetizer.

Wonderful! The most succulent and delicious lox eggs n onions we've ever had! Moist, flavorful, great portion. Fruit cup on the side was perfection, nicely cut pieces, light sweetness; crispy potato pancake with applesauce and fresh baked rye bread with butter topped off a fantastic meal. Always great service.

Love this location, always a good time, and tasty good. They have curly fries, which are yummy, and go well with sandwiches and omelettes alike. Lots of options, and the people are generally decent to deal with. I think sometimes they are understaffed, but it's nothing unreasonable. They don't rush you here, either, which I appreciate.

Really good food but expensive. Some of the sandwiches (such as Sky High Corned Beef) are $24.00. We had one Sky High Corned Beef, one Pastrami sandwich, one full order of onion rings and 2 soft drinks. Our bill before tip was about $61.00. All food was very good. I would like this place better if sandwiches were more in the $15.95 range. Atmosphere is nice and seating is comfortable.

Nice deli & decent food. Our waitress was very pleasant. We had to rush out shortly after receiving our food and she was accommodating. We took a Challah bread, Chinese Cookie (Almond w Chocolate on top) and a Black & White cookie to go as well! Yummy!!!

At first glance, the prices may seem high but the generous serving sizes make them worth the cost. All our food was tasty and was served st the right temperature. The server was very helpful and service was fast.
