"A famous deli implementing a surcharge on eggs due to the avian flu outbreak affecting egg supply." - Mona Holmes

"There’s a reason why people make pilgrimages to try Langer’s pastrami and even corned beef: There is no better version anywhere in town. Yes, the No. 19 pastrami sandwich is amazing, but this long-standing deli’s pure pastrami on house-baked rye is simplicity at its best. Try the No. 44, served on griddled rye bread with hand-sliced pastrami, nippy cheese, and sauerkraut, for a decadent take on a Reuben sandwich. But don’t skip the rest of the classic Jewish deli menu either, from potato pancakes to cheese blintzes — it’s all very well executed in one of the best daytime dining rooms in town. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff
"Famous for its pastrami sandwiches, frequented by Gary Baum." - Eater Staff
"We won't get into the weeds of the boring LA vs. NY debate, but we will say that Langer's in Westlake makes what might be the best pastrami sandwich in the world. We're aware that is a bold statement, but if you disagree, you probably haven't had the #19. This sandwich comes with juicy, thick slices of pastrami, swiss cheese, russian dressing, and homemade coleslaw stacked between slices of soft rye bread, and it is perfect. The overall experience of dining at Langer’s is an experience in its own right, from the staff’s white diner uniforms, the old leather booths, and the daily regulars hiding behind their newspapers or meeting up with friends to complain for the sake of complaining.
