- Travel ChannelJanuary 26, 2011Pastrami On Rye With Brown Mustard: A thing of unparalleled beauty. Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
Jane DongAugust 15, 2014Remember to tip the guy making your sandwich. Sandwich big enough for two if you're not ravenous
Ben HsuJanuary 7, 2011house special reuben (pastrami+corn beef+rye+sauerkraut+russian) is crack in meat form. you'll feel like that scene in Requiem for a Dream
Ruben MarquezOctober 7, 2010The pastrami on Rye is good, but it depends on the person serving it. We ordered two pastrami's on rye from different people and they were completely different. Dont bother with the fries!
DavidJanuary 27, 2013Katz ale and a pastrami on rye will run you $23 usd. But it's a big ass sandwich!!
Leslie K.November 13, 2011Easy to understand why Sally had such a great experience here - the pastrami Reuben is definitely o-worthy!
EatocracyJune 10, 2010It's the quintessential New York deli -- as seen in When Harry Mat Sally. Order the classics: corned beef, pastrami or tongue with a Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray chaser.
ChandraisgreatApril 30, 2011Every cutter has his own line so don't be afraid to move around. To order beer go to the burger guy. I suggest the katz's ale
travel42August 31, 2011Classic and delicious. HUGE sandwiches. The pastrami is a must. Bring a friend to share.
Movie MayorOctober 14, 2010I'll have what she's having. The famous scene of 1989's "When Harry Met Sally" took place here at Katz's. There's even a sign at the specific table where Billy Crystal and Megan Ryan sat Read more
Atelier MinyonSeptember 27, 2012What can we say that hasn't been said? We love Katz's. And When Harry Met Sally. Perfect combo!
Cristiano KokApril 23, 2016Monster pastrami Sandwich in a caothic atmosphere. The place is so noisy that you will not even hear Sally groaning...
Go for early lunch to avoid rush, before 12, tip the meat cutters
Yesbelt FernandezJanuary 14, 2011Get a side of coleslaw to go with your pastrami sandwhich and ask for two extra sices of bread and share with a friend.
Order a Pastrami Reuben with a Dr. Brown's Cel-ray Soda. Best Pastrammy Sammy in NY, forget Carnegie Deli. Even better than Canter's in LA. And don't forget to tip your guy.
Christopher CSeptember 16, 2010Reuben w/ Pastrami will make you sit at your table in awe. Amazing. I wish I could just sit there until I am hungry again.
Don't get table service. Tip your sandwich maker. Enjoy a half of a pastrami or corned beef sandwich with a bowl of matzoh ball soup on a cold, wintry day.
Nicolas BrugneauxDecember 7, 2018Its excellent, don't get me wrong; but $24 for a sandwich??? Consider yourself warned.
If you tip the pastrami guy while he's cutting the meat, you get a better cut
Mike O'DeaAugust 19, 2011Tongue and mustard on rye FTW. Half sour tomato and pickles also for the secondary win. Seriously don't lose that ticket.
Leo SumulongJanuary 3, 2015Still the best pastrami. I have a hard time believing that will ever change.
delivery.comJune 26, 2012Their famous pastrami sandwich is nothing to joke about. You can get it for delivery too! https://www.delivery.com/menu/Katzs_Delicatessen_Restaurant
Richard Cuthbert-SayersNovember 10, 2011This is by far the best deli in new york, despite Carnegie deli's claim. Eat hear and don't go any further!!!
Wayland ChanApril 14, 2013Don't wait in line at front. You can move along the counter to any of the guys
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
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

"The pastrami is piled high, and comes with a strong mustard sauce and another sweeter mayonnaise based sauce. I’m a fan!"
