Stefan AgiusMarch 19, 2011their beef pastrami is heavenly!!!! guy serving got very impatient with a customer who hesitated when asked for his order though.
Try the Pastrami on Rye with Brown Mustard - Now that's a #classic sandwich!!
Hoyee HardmanOctober 22, 2015Good but expensive. $20 a sandwich. Can get the same in other places for a lot less
get a knish and a dr brown's. if you didn't, then you don't know Katz!
Daniela CuryMay 27, 2011Yes, the Pastrami sandwich is amazing, but try the Frankfurter too. To die for!
Rose GMSeptember 15, 2010To drink, you've got to try Dr. Brown's Cel-ray Soda, it's a classic with pastrami. You know what sandwich to get.
See Allen at the counter and ask whats best that day-he's the best cutter. Leave a tip for your cutter too!
Darryl M.November 7, 2010pastrami on rye is the way to go. soooo gooood! don't lose your ticket or they will hang you and laugh.
They do take credit cards, just not at the counter you hit as you leave. Only the delivery counter. Best to just bring cash.
Jeff WooOctober 15, 2010Get the Pastrami sandwich! Don't get the corned beef (too dry). Sally (from When Harry met Sally) had the Pastrami! ;)
Gina MITLONovember 17, 2011simply the best place to eat in new york your not in new york till you eat @ katz's
If you're here for the first time and you don't get a pastrami sandwich, why did you even bother?
Decor MusingsMay 22, 2011The pastrami sandwich trumps everything else on the menu. And the fries are perfect.
Amber KatzJuly 7, 2012If your last name is Katz... that will get you exactly nowhere. Get the turkey.
Nick DutchNovember 4, 2011Miss the soup and go straight to the sandwiches. Don't expect the royal treatment. Service is short but it works!
- Gary GonzalezApril 2, 2011Goddamn! Freakin' awesome pastrami sandwich! Go to Allan's station and tip well. He deserves it. Go Navy!
- Su ChungSeptember 5, 2011Don't lose the ticket. They jot all ur charges on it and u pay in the line at the very end. Keeps the lines moving
