We found the sandwich maker quite pleasant. You can tell he enjoyed his job. It was very busy for 2:00 in the afternoon, but service was swift. The pastrami on rye with mustard sandwich was delectable! This is a restaurant you can not miss in NY! So don't! :)

Saw Katz on some US TV food programme and vowed to visit when and if I visited New York. Glad I did. Staff apathetic compared to most eateries though Katz is very rustic and olde worlde. Great vibe - noisy, loud staff, even louder customers but one thing remains true, the food. From the matzo ball soup to the ice... More

When you're in NY City, you're merely 1 in 8 million, and you risk being just another face in the crowd. That's one of the reasons that Katz's stands out. Aside from having the best corned beef and pastrami in the entire world, Katz's customers are treated like they're the most important people in the world. The food is always... More

You feel like in a movie. The ambient is great, people talking loud, waiters that look like artists in a movie. The pastrami sandwich is great. You can't go to ny and miss it.

Having read the reviews we found this disappointing. The staff were rude and arrogant. The sandwich was nice but it was a mission to get a sandwich without cheese - "sorry that is how it comes".

My wife and I went to Katz's Deli while we were in NYC for our anniversary trip. I have long complained of the lack of a real NYC style deli in the Capital region. I was right to complain. I have eaten at Gershon's, Ben and Bill's and Nosh here at home. They are all good, but there is simply... More

We were overwhelmed with all the choices this deli has to offer....we asked the security guy, he said the pastrami sandwich is a must! Totally agree! This is the deli where the infamous orgasmic 'when harry met sally' scene was filmed. If you stay at Hotel East Houston, it is just a block and a half away...another bonus:)

We visited Katz's Deli as we'd seen it reviewed on an episode of 'Man Vs Food'. My son wanted to sample one of the huge deli sandwiches. We weren't disappointed! I had the pastrami on rye, and the meat was delicious. They give you a sample to taste while they make your sandwich up.

A friend of mine bring me there and we really enjoy the place that is an institution, all the celebrity pictures and the food are good, fast service, crowdy and Noisy not a place to relax but so pleasent.
