| - After reading all of the good reviews, I feel even worse about my experience here. I have to say I am from the East and I come from a city of great Jewish corned beef. Canter's was a huge disappointment. To begin with, no phosphates so an egg cream (a phosphate with milk added, so why no phosphates?) was ordered. It had so little chocolate syrup that it was almost tasteless. Next, the matzoh ball soup had no taste but salt. I make chicken soup from chicken, water, carrots, celery, parsley, and a touch of onion, this just tasted like water, even the carrots and celery in the soup were flavorless! The third strike was the corned beef, which was not Jewish deli corned beef but was heavily flavored with clove! Who puts cloves in deli corned beef? Cloves in corned beef are New England boil fare, not deli! The corned beef was sliced too thick and with the grain, so it was tough and nearly unchewable! I am told the countermen are former Katz deli workers but, I have had corned beef at Katz's, Carnegie deli, Corky & Lenny's, Slyman's, Stage deli, Vienna, other "big" delis, and homemade by my bubbie, and I have never had tough, thick corned beef like they served at Canter's. Again, cloves, really? Finally, I don't mind paying for quality, but this was NOT quality. I must warn everyone, Canter's chopped liver is beef liver. Also, their menu is so very limited, you would think they could master those few options!
I'll never go back to Canter's. It was the worst dining experience I have ever had in Las Vegas. I can't imagine anyone who knows delis will be pleased or satisfied with a meal at Canter's!
I have to add, I see the managers answering the bad reviews here and repeatedly saying their corned beef has 7% fat. I call b.s. on that 7% fat statement. My cousin's corned beef had so much fat, she put it in a container to take home to her dog, and that container was full!
I would also say that it doesn't matter how high the quality of the ingredients are if they are mishandled and served poorly!
Be warned, Canter's is not a "real" Jewish deli!
