Edgar MaveDecember 30, 2019Good and volume but not delicious, pretty famous but disorganized, a large line and not too cheap.
Gina MITLONovember 17, 2011order the sample plate its cheaper and you get a lot of every thing you can make 5 sandwiches from it Read more
Nicole G.July 3, 2010Best pastrami sandwich you will ever have in your life. Avoid the cole slaw. It tastes like cabbage and sweet whipped cream. Cash only.
Florence SchmitDecember 30, 2010Pastrami on rye is just too big for us girls and Europeans. Bagel looked like a better option. Very unique spot though. Buzzing and entertaining
jake furstOctober 26, 2010You'll have a pastrami on rye with deli mustard and a Dr. Browns, aka "what she's having" in the famous scene in When Harry Met Sally.
Felicia HernandezNovember 16, 2010A carnivore's dream! Pastrami on rye is a staple, but you should also check out brisket of beef on rye... delicious!
Michael OcherMay 7, 2014Best Thing I Ever Ate Aired on 11/29/2010 Episode: With Garlic Michael Psilakis - Knoblewurst
Douglas WidickOctober 25, 2013absolute NYC institution. If you don't get the pastrami at least once you should be jailed.
Alex CasariegoAugust 25, 2014I don't like pickles, but I like these pickles. Kinda pricey, but worth experiencing
Travel ChannelNovember 15, 2010Try the pastrami or the hot dogs. Katz's is a landmark eatery that's been serving up delicious meats since 1888.
nyc classic! pastrami sandwich is the best ever w/ french fries and mazoh ball soup. happy to make that my last meal.
David KellerDecember 7, 2011Best pastrami in the city... and I have shopped around. Don't be cheap... tip the counter workers!
Glen HFebruary 19, 2012Pastrami is great. But they are way expensive and the lines on the weekends are awful. Cash only as well. Come on weekday/night if you must.
Emily Punkimeowmeow del CastilloJanuary 23, 2011A NYC landmark. Gotta have the pastrami sandwich on rye. Yummy steak fries and LOVE the pickles too!
