Desirée MacDonaldOctober 24, 2015Do me a favor and just share the sandwich. No matter how hungry you are, I don't think you'll ever finish.
Brad TamJune 5, 2015What can I say that you don't already know. PASTRAMI with a side of RUSSIAN DRESSING.
Lakshman J De SaramJune 6, 2017Legendary. Unfortunately, with the long lines and tour buses outside, the native is scarce. Too bad.
L MJanuary 13, 2019Not the place for anyone who wants a more peaceful dinning experience / vegetarian options / is feeling averse to foody smells! If this isn’t you, you will love it.
the grilled cheese is the best two pieces of white bread and three slices of cheese you will ever spend $7 on
DaveFebruary 27, 2015I've eaten a lot of pastrami in my life and nothing has ever come close. You may think $20 is steep. It's not. It's a steal. Just DO NOT LOSE YOUR TICKET.
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.
GloriaMay 20, 2011Pastrami on rye. Dr. Brown cream soda. AND THE FRIES! Reuben was not bad as well. Corn beef was a bit dry though.
Renee DiRestaSeptember 5, 2011Kielbasa sandwich and/or knish. Also can't go wrong w/a giant pastrami on rye.
Mario BataliFebruary 18, 2011simply the best pastrami sandwich on the planet, pair it with a dr browns cel ray soda and see god
R SOctober 8, 2016Don't lose your ticket. The pastrami is AMAZING. Pickles and soup are mediocre so don't waste your appetite on that.
California GirlFebruary 21, 2013A bit like the Soup Nazi when you place your order, step up, speak up and get the hell outta the way ASAP.
Gary PeckApril 16, 2013They don't have much for me to eat, but Katz's is a NY landmark. I've never met anyone who didn't love it.
