  “We went there on a Wednesday afternoon and it was packed. Though lines move fast and everyone is extremely helpful. We had the Ruben sandwich with pastrami and we also tried the square knishes. The sandwich is #1 or #2 in my list of best …”

  “Katz’s Delicatessen absolutely lived up to the hype. I ordered the classic Pastrami Sandwich, the Reuben with pastrami, and a side of fries. The pastrami was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. The Reuben was just as impressive, with the rich pastrami pairing perfectly with the Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. The balance of flavors was outstanding, and the bread was toasted to perfection. The fries were crispy, hot, and a great complement to the sandwiches. Portions were generous, and the quality of the food made the experience worth it. Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt like a true New York institution with lots of history and character. If you’re visiting NYC and want an authentic deli experience, Katz’s is a must-visit. I would gladly come back again.”

  “This place is truly legendary. Had the half pastrami on rye with mustard and half corned beef. The best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. If you go at peak times, be prepared to wait in line, but I assure you it will be worth it!”

  “Tried reuben, pastrami and brisket. Each has its own taste. Worth trying each. Although there is a queue, they serve very fast. We were there around 6pm. Other times might be busier. Cutters are very friendly. Atmosphere is quite authentic, I liked it. I recommend that you get in the line and grab your own plate rather than waiting to be seated.”

  “I’ve been to Katz’s Delicatessen a few times whenever I visit NYC, and it’s always worth the stop. If you go near opening time, there’s usually little to no line. Around lunch and dinner, the line definitely gets longer, though it moves …”

  “The pastrami sandwich in this place is absolutely worth the visit. The wait can get pretty long, but once you try the food, you’ll understand why people line up. The portions are great, the flavors are delicious, and the whole experience feels like a classic New York stop. The wait may test your patience, but it’s definitely worth it.”

  “The food was fine and about what you would expect from a decent delicatessen. They're fairly consistent with their level of quality and portion sizes as well. If your goal was to get a great pastrami sandwich, you're probably better off …”
