Schreiner's Fine Sausages is a long time Glendale institution. They have a big deli case full of deli meats, hot dogs, sausages, and meats. The other half the building is their dining area, where you can order sandwiches.
Hot dog, $2.80, with mustard. A hot dog on a French roll? Come on. The hot dog could have been very good, but it was served lukewarm, and the skin was tough and chewy. If they had steamed the hot dog properly, this could have been a very good hot dog. The hot dogs sell for about $6.29 a pound in the deli case. The roll was too tough and just overwhelmed the hot dog. They need to use a regular hot dog bun!
Corned beef sandwich on roll with mustard, $4.05. I'm not expecting New York deli corned beef like I get from Canter's Deli, but this corned beef was like any corned beef you get from Boar's Head or a supermarket deli case. When you order the sandwich they ask if you want the sandwich hot or cold. I asked for hot, and I'm betting the meat was put in the microwave and heated for about 30 seconds.
Service was good. For some reason Schreiner's was packed when I went, but they moved the line quickly and your food is served quickly.
I was disappointed in Schreiner's because I heard very good things about it. The hot dog could have been good, if they cooked it properly. But, the corned beef sandwich was no better than a supermarket sandwich. I would go back and buy some hot dogs from the deli, so I can cook them myself. But, I wouldn't go back for their sandwiches.
