To all the Dodger fans who stopped by Langer’s before heading to the ballpark this season: thank you! 💙⚾️

Thursday marked the Dodgers’ final home game of the regular season, and we’ve loved seeing so many of you come through our doors in Dodger blue before making your way to Chavez Ravine.

A great sandwich, a little LA baseball, and a city coming together for its team. It doesn’t get much more Los Angeles than that.

But we’re not done yet.

October baseball is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to see you back at Langer’s before the playoff games. Stop by, grab your #19, and fuel up before heading to the stadium.

Thanks for making us part of your game day tradition.

Let’s go Dodgers! 💙⚾️

Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant is closed Monday, September 21 in observance of Yom Kippur. We reopen Tuesday at 8am.

Of course, we're known around the world for our #19 — pastrami piled high on our famous double-baked rye bread, topped with coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. But our menu is full of engaging, delicious adventures, like our pastrami French dip on a French roll.

Thanks to the Los Angeles Times, which pulled back the curtain and spotlighted this treasure. “The mountain of pastrami in the middle is seven-slices high. It's arranged in such a way that the meat covers every inch of bread, then just barely hangs over the edge in enticing fragments you can pluck out whenever the fancy strikes,” wrote Harris under a headline that called it the best pastrami dip sandwich in the city.

Thank you, Jenn and all our friends at the LA Times. Read the full story https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2025-05-12/langers-pastrami-dip-hat-johnnies-coles-philippe-column

Some news worth celebrating reopens September 15th at 7th Ave and 54th St, in the old Stage Deli space. Sarri Harper is the one bringing it back (third generation) following in the footsteps of her grandfather Milton Parker, who first bought the deli in 1976.

New Yorkers have broken bread with Carnegie for decades and we couldn’t be happier to see the lights back on. For those in , go down there, order the pastrami, and tell them Langer's Deli sent you. Mazel Tov! 🥪

Hot pastrami. Hot day in Southern California. The #19 doesn't care what the weather's doing; it is always the right call.

Finish it off with a scoop of Thrifty Ice Cream, the LA classic since 1940.

Doors are open and the smiles say it all…

Today the sidewalk is full again, the counter is humming, and the first sandwiches are already going out. This is our favorite view! ❤️

Whether you’re a regular we see every week or you’re walking through for the first time, we’re glad you’re here and we can’t wait to serve you.

Come on down. We’ve got your seat ready.

Closed today for Labor Day. 🇺🇸

Our crew has earned the day off, so we’re taking it. These are the folks who show up every morning, carve every sandwich by hand, and keep this place running the way it has for 79 years.

We’re back tomorrow, Tuesday, September 8, at 8:00 AM. Come see us then.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Langer’s.

Spot the Pastrami-mobile in the wild. 🚗

If you’ve seen this one rolling through the city, you know exactly what’s inside. Nothing says Los Angeles quite like a giant #19 cruising down the boulevard.

Can’t make it to 7th and Alvarado today? Find us on DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats and we’ll get the #19 to you.

Moments like this are why we do it.

A guest picked up a Langer’s shirt at the counter and asked Norm to sign it before he left. Norm was happy to. That’s the kind of thing that happens here all the time, and it never stops meaning something to us.

You’ve made this place what it is. The regulars who’ve been coming for decades, the first-timers who drove in from out of town, the families who keep passing it down. Nearly eighty years on this corner, and it’s because of you.

Thank you for showing up, for the love, and for making Langer’s part of your story.

Langer’s opened in 1947 with twelve seats and one idea: do pastrami right and people will come.

Al Langer set the standard. Norm protects it.

In that time, this city has rebuilt itself more than once. Neighborhoods changed. Restaurants opened and closed by the thousands. Tastes came and went. Langer’s stayed put, because the recipe never needed updating and the counter never needed reinventing.

That’s what keeps people coming back. Not novelty. The certainty that the sandwich you order today is the same one your family ordered decades ago, made the same careful way.

Come be part of it.

This is what Langer’s looks like in motion. 🎥

Knives working, pastrami stacking, orders moving out the door. It’s a rhythm this kitchen has been keeping since 1947, and it doesn’t slow down for anything.

Everything you see here happens hundreds of times a day, and every one of them gets the same care.

Come watch it happen in person.

It’s always golden hour at Langer’s. 🍟

Crinkle-cut and fried crisp, straight from the fryer to your plate. They come out hot all day long, and they’re the perfect sidekick to any sandwich on the menu.

Get an order for the table. Everyone will be reaching.

Legacy isn’t kept in a frame. It’s kept in the hands behind the counter.

Since 1947, the same standard has passed from one generation of our crew to the next. How to carve it. How to stack it. How to send out a sandwich worth the drive. Nothing shortcut, nothing modernized away.

That’s why the #19 you order today tastes like the one your grandfather remembers.

Always a good day when Norm gets to sit down with guests.

Fred Savage and family stopped in, enjoyed a great meal together, and stuck around for a photo with the man himself. That’s the Langer’s experience in one frame: good food, good company, and a table where everybody feels at home.

Your seat is ready whenever you are.

Beat the heat. Sip the sweet. 🍓

Thick, creamy, and hand-spun the old-fashioned way. Our strawberry shake is the coldest thing on the menu and the easiest way to cool down on an LA afternoon. Topped with whipped cream and a swirl of strawberry, served in a tall glass with a spoon, because you’ll need one.

Pair it with a hot pastrami sandwich. Hot and cold, sweet and savory.

Order yours today!

Fight On! ✌️

These two stopped in decked out in cardinal and gold before heading to the game today. Smart move. Pastrami first, kickoff second!

And Bruin fans, we’ve got you next week. Roll through before the big matchup with Cal and load up on the good stuff. Blue and gold welcome at every booth.

Whatever colors you’re wearing, we’re a short drive away and ready to fuel you up.

Labor Day was built by working people. It started in the 1880s, when unions organized parades and demonstrations to demand fair hours, fair pay, and dignity on the job, and it became a national holiday in 1894.

That history means something to a deli. Langer’s is a proud UNITE HERE Local 11 house, and this place runs on the people behind the counter, in the kitchen, and on the floor: carving, baking, serving, and showing up every single day. So on Monday, September 7, we’re closed. Our crew gets the day off, the way the holiday intended.

We’re back Tuesday, September 8, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Happy Labor Day from all of us.

An ice-cold b**r and a hot pastrami sandwich. Some pairings just work.

We keep the cooler stocked with Bud Light, Budweiser, Heineken, and Stella Artois. All chilled and ready whenever you are. Order one alongside the #19 and settle in.

This is the line at Langer’s and it’s one of our favorite sights in the world.

Locals who’ve been coming for decades. First-timers who read about us somewhere. Families, coworkers, tourists with cameras, folks who drove in from three counties over. Everyone standing on the same sidewalk for the same reason.

Cooling units running, cold water in hand, and a #19 waiting at the end of it. That’s a good way to spend a morning.

Come join the line. It moves faster than it looks.

Our favorite letter of the year just made the news. 📺

CBS LA picked up the story of Roberto, the guest from El Paso who drove home, couldn’t remember if he’d left a tip, and cared enough to mail us $50 to make sure his server got it. He included every detail he could recall so we’d find the right person.

We did. She got it. And now the whole city knows what kind of guy he is.

Thank you, CBS LA, for sharing it. And thank you, Roberto, for reminding everyone that the small stuff isn’t small at all.
