Nabil BazzariAugust 5, 2019Amaaaaazing and best pastrami sandwich. Rubin sandwich is good...but not great.
Rosiegirl422April 25, 2011Everybody raves about the pastrami here (which IS unparalleled btw) but the corned beef is also AMAZING...eh, why chose; try both!
Mac NavarroAugust 11, 2014Not taking into account how curve some is the whole checkout deal, this is a must stop for your NYC trip
Sandra TanAugust 3, 2013Getting served by the waiter on "The Last Jewish Waiter" show on YouTube is the best experience!
Get Pastrami. Either the Reuben or by itself. And don't forget the sour dill pickles. Best sandwich in NYC maybe anywhere
Greg HAugust 27, 2016Do go there if you don't like queue, are agoraphobic and like polite and kind manners...
guidensNovember 19, 2013Great sandwiches. Reuben + Katz's Ale is a winner... But a little expensive.
Peter BartaOctober 27, 2012I've tried them all - Carnegie, Stage, Ben's. It's not even close - Katz's makes the best pastrami sandwich on the planet.

Kingsley YoungerDecember 9, 2014They are the winner of the best pastrami sandwich in the Food Wars TV show.
aJuly 29, 2016Home of the most overpriced and unsavory sandwiches in all of NYC. You can do much better with $20. Like going to Russ & Daughters.
Justin OrgelJune 3, 2013One line for each guy. Never forget. Pastrami/Turkey combo or Reuben. sour pickle. You deserve it

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
Mehmet AtalayAugust 17, 2014You should try pastrami and corn beef sandwiches together. Don't fill your stomach up with bread.- 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..
Dafna MichaelsonMarch 23, 2013Worth the wait. Look for Jake and ask him where the dance floor for his Bar Mitzvah was.
Sabrina BianchiMay 22, 2012The pastrami is so good my mom insists I transport it to PR when I visit; take the mustard separately!
Alejandro OlveraMay 5, 2014Great pastrami sandwich on rye bread, but so incredibly overpriced... Anyway, good being here once, but that's about it.
- Conrad Greiner-BechertJanuary 30, 2018The undisputed Go-To-Place for Pastrami sandwiches in the world.
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.
- Iouri GaidarNovember 28, 2011Great pastrami but pickles are also delish. Try old fashioned soda. Pick smth to home))
Rich GutierrezOctober 21, 2014Oh you wanna know what's good here?... Get your ass a pastrami sandwich. You're welcome.
Christopher SaloniaAugust 9, 2018The only thing you need is the Rueben! That extra step really takes it

Matt DickerJuly 18, 2011The corned beef sandwich will leave you tasting salt and dehydrated all day long...but it is absolutely worth it.
