I ordered a Corned Beef and Pastrami to go. Later that day I ate some of the sandwich and got so sick I had to be ambulanced to the hospital. Neither my wife nor I suspected the sandwich until 2 days later when we both had a bite off the last half and both of us got sick {me for the 2nd time}. When I reported this to the owner he blew me off and didn't want to hear about it. We can all get sick for free....no need to go out and pay for it. Pros: NY Deli Atrmosphere and menu Cons: My Wife and I both got sick

I continue to give Katz's a chance. They continue to prove I should stay up north at Manny Hattan's. The Corned Beef and Pastrami are probably from Sysco, and the blintz is straight out of a box. Truly awful. Don't go back. Pros: Good Location Cons: Yuck

What has happened to Katz's Deli? I have been coming here for years, but the management has really let this place go downhill. Everything used to be made in house and now it tastes like it came out of a can. The manager is really gross too, I lost my appetite when he came to our table to address a problem and he was overweight, sweaty and smelled strongly of cigarettes, his name was Bryan. Not only that he was a rude dolt. We won't be returning, losing their parking really made it an ordeal, and I won't pay to park to eat food that is terrible.

My husband and I went to Katz this morning to grab brunch before leaving Austin. 2 friends joined us. First, the waitress approached our table and just dropped of the set ups and then went to check on the rest of her section before coming back to get our drink orders. It was 100 degrees outside and we had walked there about half a mile. Anyway, the food took quite a while for a brunch. I dont mind waiting for food on a Friday night say while I have a drink - but not a brunch and the place was not even close to full. My husbands french toast was barley even close to warm and was cold by the time he finished his first slice. The waitress forgot to bring the syrup and he had to wait. He ordered hot tea which the waitress said was earl gray - but it was lavender infused earl gray which was too fragrant and gross. I ordered the cheese quesadillas with beans instead of chicken, these cheese tasted like it came from a tube and my food was also not hot. Out two friends did not enjoy their food either. We had told the waitress at the time we sat down that one of our friends had to catch a flight. We asked for the check when the food arrived yet it still took until after we were finished to get it. Avoid this place. Pros: Ambiance I suppose Cons: quality of food and service is truly horrible - I want my time and money back!

I'm not understanding all of these bad reviews. I've been coming here for years. I'll admit there was some inconsistency with the food a couple of times, but that never stopped me from dining there. The Reuben with the stuffed potato is my favorite. I know Mr. Katz is an interesting character but his actions are no different than any other New York Deli. What do you expect? And I have to say, that cute hostess with that amazing smile Angela or Amanda.......WOW, is enough reason to keep me there for years to come. Oh, I almost forgot the cheesecake....my goodness. I add chocolate syrup w/strawberries!! We have to take at least half of it home every time. Things aren't perfect, like parking now. But stop being so uptight, this is Austin!!! Pros: The food, service (including that hostess),the New york feel Cons: parking
