Katz's Deli is frequented by regulars who've been coming for decades, as well as tourists and neighborhood newbies; occasionally, you might catch a glimpse of a celebrity. Since its establishment in the 1880s, the deli has changed very little in appearance, retaining a grungy sheen. Grab a ticket on the way in for counter service, or seat yourself at a table to be waited on. Katz's still makes about 5,000 pounds of corned beef, 2,000 pounds of salami and 12,000 hot dogs a week--the old-fashioned way, on the premises--and it shows in the massive portions the deli serves.

This is jewish deli, like olive garden is italian....just crap. You want Disney style food....go to Disney, they do it better. I not only wont go there again, I am insulted that Katz would claim to be Ny or Jewish or anything....go find a small place where they take pride in thier food..Ny is full of great places..this aint one of them.

Absolutely Disgusting!

The food from beginning tp end here is just god awful. The reuben is an astounding $15.75 complete with tasteless rye bread and sauerkraut with metled cheese direct from the.......microwave.
The meat is ok (not good, but not vomitable) on the sandwich, but the radiation cheese and sauerkraut are gross.
Mac salad - probably the worst I have eaten, ever anywhere. One bite was way more than enough; dish sat uneaten.
Potato salad - vomitable; one bite and I felt sick.
Katz's is an epic failure and a tourist trap. This was not just the worst meal of the year, but perhaps of the decade and century!
- Cons: food
Stay Out of Katz's Deli

If you want a horrible dining experience Katz's Deli is the place to find it! These people are rude. They giving these red tickets when you enter (of which have no purpose) and if you dont turn them in when leaving they wont let you out of the building even with proof of a paid receipt. The door greeter will literally stand in front of the door and tell you that you cant leave. Are they not aware that this is an act of false imprisonment? Are they stupid as well as filthy and rude? I gave them a one star rating only because this wont publish until i click at least one star..but I'm taking it back.
- Pros: There are None
- Cons: Filthy, Rude & Nasty Food
