This place is an absolute gem. Their pastrami sandwich is truly something special—one of the best you’ll ever eat. I usually get mine with mustard, and it’s consistently amazing. I’ve also tried it with coleslaw a few times, and it was really, really, really good. The bread they use is fantastic too; it ties everything together perfectly. I’ve also had their matzo ball soup, which is simple but really good—nothing over the top, just a comforting, well-made classic. Service is impressively fast. Every time I order, my food is ready within just a few minutes. The place itself has a great old-school vibe, the kind of spot that feels like it’s been around forever—in the best way. I believe they’ve been in business for 60 or 70 years, and it really shows in the quality and character. Overall, it’s a special place and absolutely worth a visit if you love a great pastrami sandwich. We were seated right away for a party of 4 on a late morning of Thursday. Our server Kevin was very patient and recommended the best dishes for us. He was super attentive in making sure to be ready to fill up our coffee mugs. Walking in it was very cold but another server, Frank noticed our body language and turned up the temperature for a more comfortable temperature. Thank you for noticing! 😅 Both gentlemen were very thoughtful and it just comes to show that this place has awesome people working on the clock. For food I recommend the sandwiches here. The French toast was okay, but the turkey sausage I ordered as a side was good. The bill came up to be $140+ for just the four of us. That’s $36 per person. I don’t agree with the bill given the quality and Taste of food but service here was outstanding. I tried Langer's once and was instantly addicted. The Number 19 sandwich is a masterpiece. I didn't even care that it's rather expensive, the quality was worth every penny. Tender meat, fresh coleslaw, and Russian dressing on rye. Comes with Pastrami, but do yourself a favor and get it with Corned Beef instead. You won't regret it. The wait staff is excellent, and hard working, too, quick with the refills and ready with suggestions if you find yourself stuck on their sizable menu.

The atmosphere at this place is amazing. The food is even better. I had their famous number 19. The quality of the pastrami is amazing. I would say it's one of the top pastrami sandwiches In all of southern california, there's a pastrami place in the desert and lingers Definitely is much better and much better quality. This is definitely a place you need to go if you want a good sandwich. Even the rye bread was amazing

Off the charts #19! Have to give praise to Langers for the quality, consistency, and longevity. The pastrami on twice baked rye with mustard and coleslaw is not to be changed or modified. Don’t mess with the classic. You may open a worm hole that ends reality. Place is dated. Location is not the best. But keep in mind you’ve entered where many have before and there is a reason why people come here. It’s that good. Try the desserts from the carousel. The staff is friendly true humans. So tip well.
