Best

You haven't had Pastrami until you've had it here. Nowhere on planet earth is there Pastrami that compares. The Corned Beef ain't bad either. Potat...

Worst

Katzs being a landmark in NYC, it fell short of my expectations. This dirty place is always packed (tourist attraction?) and though the pastramy sandwich was good, I found it was ...

Katz is the Best Deli in NYC 11/20/2002

Now I know why Sally from ""When Harry met Sally"" reacted like she did...the food is that good! A must for all NYKR's and Tourists!.....Forget the high priced Stage and Carnagie Delis this place is better and much les expensive Pros: Prices, Portions, personalities Cons: location, parking more

Best of the Best 11/20/2002

yumm yumm 11/20/2002

Born and rised on the lower east side. The food is still as good now as when I was a kid. Luck me, my grammar school was across the street. You have to eat their steak fries. more

Half a cow between two bread vans... 11/4/2002

A vegetarian's nightmare (and the cow isn't sleeping too well either), Katz's Deli offers little in the way of comfort, luxurious decor, or for that matter politeness in its staff. What it does offer in spades (make that tractor loads) though is meat; accustomed to UK (read:normal) sandwiches I was little prepared for the eight inch high pile of pastrami and corned beef that was heaped between two slices of strangely insubstantial bread. It tasted fine, as did the excellent slaw and macaroni, though it was deadeningly heavy. Less pleasing was the bill which was higher than expected. Pros: Excellent pastrami, Lots of it (pastrami), Good creamy slaw Cons: Slow service, Surprisingly costly more

Get RRRREADY for STUFFING! 9/24/2002

While the decor does not inspire romance or images of a good-eats place (I guess this is why they call it a deli... so one is prepared), the portions are ENORMOUS and quite yummy. Go there on an empty stomach, and you won't need to eat for the rest of the day! more

One of the Last.... 9/23/2002

The pastrimi sandwich is simply the BEST in the city. The lunch-room, no frill dining adds to the charm. Don't ever change!!! more

WOW What A .. Hmm... 9/22/2002

Hard to put into words. Quite an experiance with my 3 kids having gone to some of the nicer places in town, we went to katz after theater in my suit. Needless to say I felt out of place. I saw some of the roughest looking people in Manhattan in this place (patrons and workers). I loved the pastrami and the experiance. My wife and kids were not as thrilled. Dingy w/ yellowed pictures of all the famous people IE President Clinton after 2 hot dogs and a pastami WOW howed he do that, Jerry Lewis, and of coarse Harry & Sally.I do recommend Katz! Pros: BIG, OLD, DIFFERENT Cons: GREASY, expensive more

one of my favorites 9/14/2002

i love this place!! the pastrami is delicious, and my fave sandwich. don't miss out on a plate full of fresh dill pickles. try the chicken noodle soup when you need some comfort food. enjoy an egg cream or a cel-ray soda with your meal. if the guys at the counter are working slowly, head over to the waiter service tables... they can get in and get your sandwich faster than the guys at the counter if there is a long line. more

Editorial
  • Katz's Deli is frequented by regulars who've been coming for decades, as well as tourists and neighborhood newbies; occasionally, you might catch a glimpse of a celebrity. Since its establishment in the 1880s, the deli has changed very little in appearance, retaining a grungy sheen. Grab a ticket on the way in for counter service, or seat yourself at a table to be waited on. Katz's still makes about 5,000 pounds of corned beef, 2,000 pounds of salami and 12,000 hot dogs a week--the old-fashioned way, on the premises--and it shows in the massive portions the deli serves. Excellent pastrami is a big draw, as is the deli's Reuben sandwich.
