Best roast beef in the world!! The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because I didn't like the atmosphere and how stressful it was to grab a table.

My old man told me that if you want to find the best kosher style food you need to look for a deli where a good size of the clientle and work force is Puerto Rican. Well go to Katz's and you'll find…

I went with my family, having never been to the "original" NY deli. It was a worthwhile experience for the history, but I was disappointed with the food.

My favorite Jewish deli by far. Other than its famous pastrami sandwich, everything else (e.g., knish, matzoh ball soup) is rather typical. But boy, the pastrami (hold the bread, you will want just…

One word: PASTRAMI. To be honest, before Katz's, I was all like, "Pastrami? Meh. Not really sure I'd like it. I'll just have the Turkey." Thankfully, no one would let me go anywhere near Katz's before…

"I'll have what she's having." I love, love, love this deli! I agree, this place is so New York. The people who eat there, the workers, the scary bathroom. The pastrami sandwich is to die for.…

I had a corned beef sandwich on rye here, and I can honestly say that it's one of the most satifsying sandwiches I've ever had. The pickles are good, too. I do, however, recommend getting something to drink...
