Mark WacklerMarch 19, 2012The Pastrami Sandwich is ginormous and amazing! I don't know how they make the meat so good, but it's to die for...
Anja MaerzSeptember 12, 2014Pastrami sandwich and Matzo-ball soup were delicious. Slightly too full and chaotic, wasn't clear that they had table service...
Dorothy MorsonJuly 29, 2016Sandwiches. Especially pastrami and corned beef combination with a side order of fries and beer!
FunhiguyJune 22, 2013It's Cash only so bring an ATM card if you don't bring a big wad of cash. Pay the price, the food is worth every penny.
Léna Le RollandNovember 28, 2017So so disappointed. I don’t get why they still get so much attention. Sandwiches are small & pricey, bread is low quality & even the meat isn’t impressive. The overall thing was just so disappointing
StefanieMarch 1, 2016I'm not big on delis but enjoyed the brisket. Apparently, their pastrami is something to write home about.
Manda CurrellFebruary 16, 2020Yeah, you’ll get shouted at. But I got an egg salad sandwich as big as my head at nearly 2am. No complaints here
Matthew ReyesJune 1, 2013My memories of Wolfies in Miami Beach spoiled it. Well cured pastrami softens the sinew & stringy fat. This morning's meat isn't worthy of the fame.
Cindy WatersMay 25, 2012We did the all time fav, pastrami on rye. It was filling. The order of fries is huge. Pickles are good!
Erika ArreaDecember 19, 2016Pastrami sandwich! Don't mind the line! Goes super fast and always room inside!
Francisco LariaJanuary 7, 2015Gotta try the Pastrami Sandwich. You'll never look at other sandwiches the same way again.
Ili VaniliApril 20, 2016Annoying. Packed with tourists. Annoyingly long lines. For what? The pastrami sandwich & the pickles are ok, but you can get really good food in this hood without this hustle
John HarveySeptember 3, 2014My favorite is the pastrami sandwich with the corned beef being a close second.
Rebecca BrownDecember 27, 2012It was here where Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal met in 'When Harry met Sally'. You can sit at the exact table, which is labelled with a sign above.
Andrew LeonardMarch 31, 2011The latkes are amazing and a meal in and of themselves. Get them with a plate of pickles and you're set. Something for everyone here!
In the running for death row meals. Pastrami on rye with mustard. Side of light green pickles.
You are a true New Yorker if you enjoyed Katz’s pastrami sandwich at 3am.
Mac NavarroAugust 11, 2014Not taking into account how curve some is the whole checkout deal, this is a must stop for your NYC trip
Sabrina BianchiMay 22, 2012The pastrami is so good my mom insists I transport it to PR when I visit; take the mustard separately!
Their pastrami is truly and unequivocally the best you will ever have in this life or the next. Sally had her big 'O' here in, "When Harry Met Sally." You may too. Pricey but justified.
Greg HAugust 27, 2016Do go there if you don't like queue, are agoraphobic and like polite and kind manners...
Mel LewisJune 19, 2011Ask them to add the russian dressing to the Pastrami Sandwich- mouth watering good!!!!
Village VoiceSeptember 27, 2013For winter, you must try their classic chicken coup. It cures all ails!
Robert AccetturaDecember 6, 2014The secret here is to order the pastrami. Nobody knows this, but it's actually pretty good. Shh. This is a FourSquare exclusive tip!- Robert AccetturaDecember 6, 2014Don't loose that ticket, even if your a group and put it all on one keep all the tickets. You need them to leave if you don't want to pay a huge loss fee.
Justin OrgelJune 3, 2013One line for each guy. Never forget. Pastrami/Turkey combo or Reuben. sour pickle. You deserve it
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
HashtagNYUDecember 5, 2012Essential NYU: Try their pastrami or reuben sandwiches after a night out in the Lower East Side.
Alejandro OlveraMay 5, 2014Great pastrami sandwich on rye bread, but so incredibly overpriced... Anyway, good being here once, but that's about it.
Matthew GuindinJune 9, 2013Do it correctly. Pastrami on rye with mustard, sour dill pickle, and a Dr Brown's cream soda. Make your mom proud.
- Rudy GranadosDecember 5, 2010Everything you get here is great! Pastrami,Reuben,Spilt Pea soup,etc..Oh you gotta try the ...Meat Chilli...But be ready for Hot & Spicy..
