    Easily one of the best pastrami sandwiches I’ve ever had. definitely make this a stop when you’re in town Seems pricey at first ($22) but it’s enough meat to feed 2 people so it’s well worth it. The lines can take a while as each sandwich is made to order. I stood in line for 15-20 minutes before I was able to order. Even with multiple lines this can take a while. I really like how they give you a sample of the meat before they make your sandwich. The pastrami is cut to order and they slab some mustard on the bread and there you go. I don’t think it’s possible to eat the sandwich without half of the meat falling out but it’s fun to try. It’s a lively interior with a lot of people. I didn’t have too much trouble finding a seat for 1, but seating was scarce.

    This place is amazing. The pastrami sandwich is full of flavors. Without any extra additional of condiments, the meat itself tasted great. I tried the brisket also, it was tender and juicy. I liked the pastrami more. There are different bread types and you can add extra cheese. The sandwich is little expensive, however the portion is big and makes you full. They offer tasting samples while preparing your sandwich. They sell their cooked meat selection by pound also. You can order a side of steak fries or potato salad, make it a shared palate as it is another big portion. I tried the blueberry cheese cake, i found it average. Great experience.

    A delicatessen/diner that must be experienced. The place was busy, but the service was timely, and friendly. The staff were helpful to clarify instructions and answer questions. We had a pastrami, a brisket, a turkey, and a corned beef sandwiches. They were excellent, and huge! The pickles remind me of my grandmother's - pickling cucumbers in pickling brine - perfection!

    Since this was my first time eating at Katz's I was shocked by the immense amount of people waiting in line. It was a bit confusing for a newbie like myself, however I was able to gather myself and order. Once I placed my order, the gentleman gave me a slice of pastrami to try while I waited. Wow, was it good! Once I got my order, I felt like a kid again on the first day of school walking into the lunchroom looking for a place to sit. I finally found a place to sit in the back. The atmosphere was a bit more calm in the back of the restaurant, photos and signs of yesteryear line up the walls. Salamis hang from the walls behind the counters! It is definitely a vast space with lots of history. Highly recommended!

    LOVE IT here. They make huge sandwiches that I'm not sure anyone can finish at great prices. Delicious food and while you wait they give you a generous sample of the deli meat you ordered as they make your sandwich in front of you. You definitely have to speak up and be bold when coming here, it's easy to be overlooked or skipped as so many people come here.
