About Schwartz’s Deli & BBQ
In a neighborhood where kosher dining options are abundant, Schwartz’s Deli & BBQ on Pico Boulevard stands out by combining two comfort-food powerhouses—classic deli fare and smoked barbecue. The result is a menu that doesn't rely on nostalgia alone but delivers bold, well-executed flavors.
Their 16-hour smoked brisket draws steady praise for its balance of tenderness and deep, smoky character. Diners note it’s piled high on sandwiches without compromising texture or moisture. The pastrami, another standout, is thick-cut, not overly salty, and hits that ideal point between peppery bark and juicy center. For those who can’t choose, the brisket-pastrami combo sandwich offers both in a generous stack.
Appetizers range from fried kreplach to deli egg rolls filled with meat, both of which customers describe as addictive and satisfying. The matzah ball soup also earns attention—not just a nod to tradition, but praised for its rich broth and light, flavorful dumplings.
Barbecue lovers gravitate toward the burnt ends and pulled brisket platters, often served alongside hearty sides like slaw and chili fries. A pulled brisket hot dog, while less conventional, is a favorite among regulars for its clever twist on familiar flavors. Even the chicken nuggets—dubbed “fire poppers”—get consistent praise for their crisp coating and tangy heat.
Guests frequently highlight the generous portions, efficient service, and clean, casual atmosphere. Online ordering and pickup are described as reliable and convenient, making it a go-to for both weekday dinners and catered gatherings.
