eating my heart out
I don't know why most of the pastrami ended up north of 34 street so far from its downtown birth place. However when I found out I can get delivery from Katzs' it's a wonderful thing I thought. But is it just me I found the pastrami a little tough. I'll give them another try maybe I have to order lean. I hate going there in person without friends from out of town. The atmosphere can be rated a 0 or a 5 depending on where you live.

you get what you pay for!
About $18.00 for a sandwich, but if you can eat it all at one serving, you know it's really good. The sandwiches are so big that you can actually make 3 modest ones out of one.

orgasmic for the taste buds
Anywhere in the city you get what you pay for ,afterall it is NYC. I've been here a few times and when I come back home I have to stop here. All I can say is, don't let this treasure get by you. The prices are a little steep but the food is great and the smells...well it gave me wood. Being a Jew ,I know good deli and this IS good deli, afterall ,just ask Billy Crystal

Manufactured attitude good pastrami - I told you so...
Their attitude is an act mostly for the tourists - the only thing worth eating here is the pastrami on rye with mustard. The rest of their food is mediocre at best and this hasn't changed in the past 15 years that I have been going there.

A great deli experience
My wife and I were in town for some sightseeing and the San Genaro Festival. We decided to stop at Katz's before hoofing it down to the 9/11 memorial. We had a pastrami and corned beef sandwich on rye, with a couple of pickles. It was the best either of us had ever had.

Overpriced for mediocre food
My wife and I went down to Katz to experience this deli because we thought it would be fantastic food. Unfortunately, we paid over $16 (including tax) for 1 roast beef sandwich that was fatty and hard to chew. The man behind the counter told us that the roast beef was a bit red and rare today and gave us samples of the meat to taste. The meat he gave us was pretty good but we think the meat he put on the sandwich may not have been the same.Nevertheless, for that kind of money for 1 sandwich, it should be great and should melt in your mouth, not fatty and tough to chew. The sandwich was not bad for the most part but we felt this was an average deli sandwich that wasn't worth the price. Plus, they only give you a couple of pickles with it so the sandwich is really all you get for the money.

Best deli
I don't know what everyone has against this place. All the food is excellent. So is the atmosphere. The service is okay, but you don't have to sit in the waiter section. It seems people have problems with the specialties, but in my opinion and experience they are excellent. As a New York native it makes me sad that it is now a tourist trap, but it is still good.
