Darleny LopezJuly 15, 2015The German sandwich is the best!! I know the pastrami is the killer one, but check this one out.
Nick TurbideMay 7, 2017Like I even need to tell you to get the pastrami. Also good: hot dogs and the potato pancakes at breakfast hours.
William HubaApril 6, 2015Delicious Pastrami, but crazy expensive and filled with tourists. Such is the price of fame.
Paco AcevesJanuary 12, 2013I had my first Pastrami on Rye here years ago! It felt like Christmas when my grandpa told me to "go get my own"....I now know why. Greed isn't always a bad thing. Thank you Katz's!
Sofia ReyesDecember 3, 2020Pastrami sandwich it’s delicious and if you add latkes on the side it gets even better 👌🏽
Rick DionneMay 19, 2013Best Pastrami In NY Hands Down! Make Sure You Grab A Ticket When You Walk In Before You Go To Get Served! Enjoy!
Arnaud GelbJune 18, 2013The legendary Katz's Delicatessen, one of the most famous deli in the world. Awesome patrasmi sandwiches. Mostly for neat lovers.
FashionisgreatJanuary 17, 2013Every 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
Vicky OApril 6, 2018So incredibly yum! Try the pastrami on rye with mustard the pastrami is sooo juicy and tender.
Wai-Wai TongJuly 26, 2013AMAZING I have to come here every time I visit NYC. Sometimes I visit just for this!
Trevis Dane WimerJanuary 8, 2013Just a suggestion for tourists... Tip (ie leave a gratuity) the Amazing Counter folks, they work extremely hard... and if you take care of them they may give you a "locals" portion.... ;-)
Eelain SteketeeAugust 22, 2011also known as "carnivore's wonderland".. don't like meat, out you go! love meat? some suggestions: pastrami on rye, sausage on rye, and 2 hot dogs.. then check your cholesterol.
Dmitriy SMarch 21, 2011Pastrami and corned beef on rye with Russian dressing and cole slaw. Wash it down with a Dr Brown's black cherry soda. If you can do handle it, you're a true new yorker.
New York HabitatNovember 1, 2011It's all about the pastrami on rye at this famous deli. Take your ticket stub, walk to the right counter, get your food, and chow down. Don't lose that ticket stub though or it'll cost ya!
Joanna FlammMarch 1, 2011Super crowded, super touristy, still delish. Bring a buddy and split a pastrami on rye. There's table service, but there are also self-serve tables hiding in the back. DON'T LOSE YOUR TICKET!
Juli Foranna JulieroMay 4, 2014Awesome!! Delicious!! Extremely good pastrami sandwich!!!!!! I'll come back!!
CharlottesApril 13, 2015I popped my Katz's cherry with a drunken early morning pastrami on rye. Golly, it hit the spot!
AmateurConciergeNovember 23, 2014The turkey is like thanksgiving turkey, so don't underestimate. After trying all the sandwiches, though, it's clear why pastrami is its most famous offering.
Sadiya KekaApril 15, 2012The pastrami sandwich is the best! They usually just put mustard with it. If you order a turkey sandwich, try it with the Russian sauce!
Leanne ZMay 17, 2017Come at off hours to avoid a line, split a pastrami and don't forget the pickles. Classic.
PeggyJune 15, 2018The pastrami sandwich and pickles were delicious, but still felt overpriced at almost $20. Egg cream was also good.
Emona SJune 17, 2018We had super grumpy waitress that we were forced to tip twice - 20% incl, as we were warned bc we were 6, but then she chased us screaming we didn't tip her, so we did again. later we saw it was incl.
Patrick JasinskiDecember 5, 2014Very good pastrami! Prices are ridiculous...$20 for a sandwich is a bit overpriced!
Ericha FabayFebruary 2, 2018Nothing beats the authenticity of their products. Their pastrami is aged 30 days &what a remarkable sandwich it makes! It’s the best I have ever had so far...”Katz’s and that’s all!”
Roseann LoSchiavoNovember 7, 2015Be prepared to spend a lot of money for a really awesome pastrami sandwich.
Hard to say anything that hasn’t already been said. Best pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had!
WhiskeyAvengerJune 18, 2018Know what you’re ordering. Once you get to the front of the line you may be given a hard time. It is NYC,what do you expect?
Ben GAugust 30, 2014The pastrami on rye lives up to the hype. It might seem overpriced until you see its size. The pickles are stellar too.
Brendan SpiegelFebruary 22, 2012It’s hard to ignore a classic: kosher beef weenies, griddled ’til the natural casing crisps, and smothered in onions and mustard (or chili, if your stomach can take it at this point). Read more
Bugra KilincerFebruary 10, 2016Try pastrami sandwich w/ mustard and pickles, on the side get the Matzo soup and Katz's ale
Ronald CattrysseNovember 5, 2017The pastrami sandwich is the best one you’ll ever have. Combine with a soup.
Vito TartagliaOctober 13, 2015Katz's is famous for its pastrami sandwich. It is actually very good. Very. Though, i think it is quite overpriced (around 20$).
Cheryn RoblesJuly 17, 2023Had half a turkey sandwich and matzo ball soup. It’s more like three meals! I bought extra bread to make two more sandwiches.
Muhammed BulutJune 2, 2015Its pastrami is one of the most delicious meat I have ever eaten. First place for me in NY.
Laura OsorioDecember 9, 2016A NY MUST!! It's worth to get a little far from the tourist part to know this oasis.
Allegra FloresMarch 19, 2012Cheese sandwich is great for vegetarians! Also, LATKES. Make sure you order everything from the right counter or else you'll get the stink-eye.
