“ Katz is consistent and reasonably priced. Service can vary as with this particular visit. Our server was a little absent, but we did choose to sit outside whereas the majority of people were inside... nevertheless the spinach artichoke dip is delicious. I got the French dip which was slightly bland, and as you'll see in the picture, I never got the au jus. My husband had a shrimp dish and it was all delicious.. I had the Keylime martini because the server said it was unique to Katz deli.. it was OK. ”
“ The interior is inspired by a older NYC subway station, with the white tiles and the tile sign. Had some interesting and creative menu selections. Best chocolate cake we have had in a long time. Very good matzo ball soup ”
“ Glad to try Katz's for the first time. Had the weekday "halfer" special: Reuben Sandwich with Mazzo Ball Soup and Yankee Pot Roast Sandwich (on sourdough) with Broccoli and Cheese Soup. Also got Red Velvet Cheesecake to go. Sandwiches seemed like a smaller portion at first since they were "half" size but they were very hearty and delicious. Soup also was very good. The cake was good but maybe it would be better if they just did red velvet cake instead of making it a cheesecake. Love Katz's. ”
