Steve LeVineJune 1, 2011Try the buttermilk fried chicken - Cooked perfectly- crispy outside, hot and juicy inside.
Chad HFebruary 19, 2011Pastrami is obvious. Potato pancakes are well underrated. Pretty sure they're the best I've had.
California GirlFebruary 21, 2013A bit like the Soup Nazi when you place your order, step up, speak up and get the hell outta the way ASAP.
Lakshman J De SaramJune 6, 2017Legendary. Unfortunately, with the long lines and tour buses outside, the native is scarce. Too bad.
Robert McQueenJanuary 5, 2013Don't bother with the Corned Beef. The Pastrami is a Must — It's "What She's Having."
Zeb HoltSeptember 9, 2011Perfection: pastrami and corned beef on rye with mayo (yes), mustard and lettuce.
Hoyee HardmanOctober 22, 2015Good but expensive. $20 a sandwich. Can get the same in other places for a lot less
Kimmi AquinoJune 12, 2013Servers here are idiots. But I wanted to say I've been to the restaurant where Harry Met Sally. Small sacrifices for first times.
Faith KastenAugust 9, 2011While I didn't get what "Sally" got, my potato knish sure did hit the spot. Great pickles, too.
Sarah LeeOctober 22, 2011Definitely try the pastrami on rye with sour pickles. Could have definitely passed on the brisket.
Alwyn VelasquezDecember 18, 2011Try the Corned Beef Sandwich - It's so good it melts on your mouth. :)
Amiri BakarOctober 1, 2011Walked all the way from 46th east and had to wait half an hour in the rain to get a piece of this. Worth the wait enuf said...
Stefan AgiusMarch 19, 2011their beef pastrami is heavenly!!!! guy serving got very impatient with a customer who hesitated when asked for his order though.
get a knish and a dr brown's. if you didn't, then you don't know Katz!
Jason BrewNovember 3, 2015No doubt that this place is a very pricey tourist destination, but there is absolutely no chance you walk out unhappy after eating the pastrami on rye
Best combo: Pastrami with chopped liver. Also, get the latkes.
