    Pastrami
    Vivian H.

    My husband and I visited Katz's for lunch, the place is beautiful and clean. Our waitress was fenomenal, amazing service. That's why the 3 stars. We started with a spinach and artichoke dip, I would've liked it creamier and cheesier, also the portion was very small. We ordered the pastrami sandwich, and it was a big disappointment! The pastrami flavor was off, didn't taste smoky at all, it was briny and salty yes, but the flavor of the smoke it's what makes it pastrami, and it wasn't it! The bread was very stale, and the aioli tasted like a thousand island dressing. We had some onion rings as well, unfortunately we didn't enjoy those either :(

    Pitiful pastrami on rye
    Sean F.

    I had previously been to Katz's in New York (which was awesome) and was excited to try the Houston location. What a joke! I ordered the pastrami on rye "New York" style and it had hardly any meat on it. Absolutely pitiful.

    Food was flavorful and the fries were hot just what I wanted. The service, while there was a bit of a wait, was quite pleasant with no mistakes. Not exactly a NYC deli vibe but I was good with that so the ambiance worked for me.

    Caramel Raisin Bread Pudding
    Yasamin R.

    I've been here a couple times and it usually takes a while to bring out the food, probably around 25-30 minutes. Their food is OK and I have only tried their breakfast items. Waffles were nice and fluffy. The brisket tasted good on its own, but the hollandaise sauce didn't pair well with it. Servers are all very nice and attentive. They will refill coffee without being asked. It is a lively place and has a diner-style feel to it. The dessert is AMAZING. I was hesitant since the bread pudding had raisins but I would absolutely come here again just for that. The chocolate cake was good too, but the bread pudding really stood out. Easy to park, they have a parking lot attached.

    Cup Rustic Tomato Basil Soup
    Sharon S.

    Let's start with Jason, bar staff. Excellent attention. Courteous. Friendly. The Tomato Basil soup is good. My first time to have it. Has a little spice, but only enough to warm the throat. The soup was a bit thick and could have used a fresh grated parm on top. I would order again. The burger. Cooked perfectly. Had mushrooms on it that were not ordered, but easy to remove. A side of onion rings were perfect, as usual. $61 was painful. Still a great place to go late night.

    We always try to stop by Katz when we are in Houston for the French dip and matzo ball soup. My husband should be a spokesperson for this sandwich. Service is always friendly here. Our food was served hot and didn't wait too long. I tried the pastrami Reuben. Flavor is there I just wish the meat was thicker instead of sliced deli meat. It's still a tasty sandwich.

    Well.... The vibe was definitely giving NYC. No greeting from the hostess just straight in with "for two?" with zero personality. Other staff greeted us kindly as we walked toward our table. Our waiter was nice and attentive but the food felt rushed and the jalapeño poppers came out cold. Sandwich and artichoke dip were pretty good. I got Matzo ball soup to-go which tasted great. For Houston I think they could've represented themselves a bit better. Would I go back? Yes, but the staff should and could use more spark and to make sure food comes out hot.

    Chicken Country Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes
    Sarai S.

    Food was amazing , service was quick Chris was our server and he was very attentive! ! Great place to grab a quick bite after the bar !

    A serving of french fries

    The food, atmosphere and service were all good but beware of hidden costs: -The waffle sandwich comes with home fries. We substituted home fries and asked for french fries instead. Instead of an upgrade price of $1-$2, the french fries were $4.99, which is the regular price. -They charge 2.85% of your bill to use your credit card. I understand that businesses have to make money but I would prefer full disclosure of any UNEXPECTED costs.

    I was excited to try Katz after a referral to eat here . The food itself is very disappointing. I had chicken Parmesan sandwich . Soggy before I could eat it .. dripping of water sauce from marinara . I asked to send back . I got the country club . It's a sandwich so not much I can mess up . It was hard to though . Didn't know it came on a bagel and the bagel was a bit toasted so hard to bite . The homemade spinach dip is a LIE . Nothing homemade about it . It was super watery . The Alfredo pasta is wayyy over priced for taste . No seasoning. Very dry ... Kids pizza was undercooked . Cheese wasn't even melted yet . Service was though. Waiter and manager were respectful . Ambiance is family friendly nice and clean . Over this experience is a 2 out 5 . I honestly expected way more . The bill was $41 for Alfredo and a sandwich lol . I was pissed because it wasn't even worth $10 . Not sure what's the hype was but I didn't Find it OH AND HAIR WAS IN OUR FOOD . Enjoy the nice I tried to take .

    Cobb Salad
    Kim W.

    Always good food! I do feel it's better to eat in, but this time I ordered delivery. Service was fast and my food was fresh. I ordered the Cobb salad. Their Cobb salad does not come with a boiled egg, just so you know. I did pay for extra avocado, because I love them. They offer a very nice variety of salad dressing. However, I wasn't feeling adventurous today.‍ The ambiance is casual and usually pretty busy. When ordering delivery you miss the temptation of the dessert counter. But even delivery is safe sometimes. The cheesecake still calls my name. However, their food is consistent as well as their service. I've not had a bad experience. So if you're looking for a down home kinda meal, Katz's will probably work for you.

    Pan Seared Australian Sea Bass

    Had a great experience at Katz! The food was delicious, and I ordered the Pan-Seared Australian Sea Bass--it was cooked perfectly, flavorful, fresh, and definitely worth trying. The overall experience was enjoyable, and I'd absolutely come back again. Highly recommend!

    Avocado toast with salmon
    Amy A.

    I was excited about trying this place. The atmosphere and decoration are cool. We ordered the margarita flight which was yummy. Then we got the avocado toast and the Salmon Eggs Benedict. I would not get the eggs benedict again, as the sauce was sour tasting. We didn't like it. We absolutely loved the avocado toast. It was so fresh and tasty. We ended our meal with watching a drunk person out the window hit our vehicle in the Katz parking lot and the cops had us waiting hours and they never came to help us. We won't be returning because of this incident. Go somewhere else if you're out and about on a Friday night.

Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.

    Went to Winnie's on a Sunday during Houston Restaurant Weeks and had an amazing experience from the…read moreservice, drinks, and most of the food. Off the Restaurant Weeks menu we ordered the Loaded Hash Browns in the Style of Potato Skins and the Trio Deviled Egg Trio for starters. The loaded hash browns were crispy, golden, and covered with a healthy amount of toppings especially the cheesy queso. The deviled eggs were just okay for me. They weren't your typical deviled eggs the filling was more of a mustard forward potato salad mixture. The three toppings on deviled eggs were very distinct from one another and each had its own flavor. For the main dishes we ordered the Peach Cobbler French Toast and the Breakfast Sandwich. The French toast was a little underwhelming. It wasn't made with the traditional thick cut bread and was more on the thinner side. It was loaded with toppings, but honestly the toppings overpowered the bread itself. Now the BREAKFAST SANDWICH was AMAZING!! I honestly wished I had ordered another one. I'm usually not a fan of English muffins, but the way this sandwich was made and assembled was PERFECT. From the toasted English muffin to the sausage patty, crispy hash brown, fried egg, tomato, and cheese!!!Every bite was so good! If they bring this sandwich back to the menu it is a MUST TRY! From the regular menu we also tried the Fried Chicken Crunch Wrap Supreme. It was okay. The chicken was hot and fresh, and even the dipping sauce was good. However, the Doritos were soggy, and for me, there was way too much cabbage in the inside. Overall, it was just okay. The Treasure Chest Frozen Flight is an absolute must. Not only are the drinks delicious, but they come with a cute little sparkler, which makes the whole experience a little celebration. The Saturn was my favorite. And of course, living in Houston, we all know Sunday = Sunday Funday! So yes, it was packed inside. They did have plenty of seating outside. Winnie's is seat yourself and order at the bar, and there was plenty of room to either share tables or stand around and wait for a party to finish so you could grab a seat. Overall, if you haven't been to Winnie's yet, you should definitely check it out! The breakfast sandwich alone is worth the visit if it makes its way back onto the menu.

Parking can be confusing if you aren't familiar with downtown because it's off Main St. There is a connected parking garage which you have to pay for; I think it was around $10, not sure if it can be validated because I didn't ask. When we came, it was super lively; they had a DJ playing and it was definitely vibey and a great place to start your Sunday Funday. The setup is: you pay, they give you a number, and bring your food to the table. The seating is open and they have a large patio area as well. We were there for HRW brunch which was 25 for 2 courses, but the menu had me excited as a seafood lover. I saw oysters and so many other foods I love to come back and try. I got the Trio of Deviled Eggs and my friend went with hash brown potato skins. For our main we had the NOLA BBQ Shrimp and Grits. She also got the Treasure Chest Frozen Flight, which comes with all four of the frozens they offer in a Treasure Chest with Sparklers which was perfect for her bday. Everyone was friendly; it was busy, but despite that a really good experience and I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.
