825 39th st. Houston food is great it's hot when delivered. It's season just right. And Always hot

Katz is a 24 hour diner. Perfect for those late night eats. I really enjoy their Penne pasta with chicken. Lex attended me and a friend of mine recently and she was caring and prompt. Thank you for taking care of us! read more

Katz's - Our server was great and the food was good. Penne pasta with chicken - Delis Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food lacked flavor. Very disappointing. I ordered the salmon Alfredo pasta and I had to add salt and pepper because it was so bland. The salmon was a little tough as well. I could definitely make something better at home. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I wouldn't come back and eat here. read more

Barf. A picture is worth a thousand words and I'm only allowed so many characters here so I'll let the pic of my so-called sliced roasted turkey breast with dressing (if you can call it that?) tell the story. As you can see, it's more of a sliced lunch meat in a super salty, gelatinous brown gravy from a jar. So sad. Katz's homies in NY and NJ are crying for them right now bc they are trying to pass this dog chow off as human food. I was hopeful that the recent renovations would include an upgrade to the menu, but no such luck. Proceed at your own peril. read more

Katz's - Ummm???? Supposed to be turkey and gravy but is more like canned dog food. So gross. - Delis Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service was quick and friendly which is the only reason for two stars. The food on the other hand was quite terrible. I had an order of pastrami hash with poached eggs. The eggs were overdone. And the hash was terrible. I had to leave it. And go some where else. Wife had challah toast equally as terrible. With the service quick and good I really wish the food was better. However with the place being dead on a Saturday morning I understand why no one is eating here. read more

Food was sub-par , waitress wasn't helpful at all , and got charged for condiments without knowing I was getting charged for them . Told them that we wanted to sit upstairs when we walked in ( willing to wait ) and got sat downstairs immediately . read more

I have been here plenty of times and I wasn't impressed by this place anymore. They changed there rye bread. The hotdog was very greasy. And they were out of Kugel. I won't be back for a while. read more

Best thing that's been in my mouth all year. Ask for extra Alfredo sauce on the side for the pasta. read more

Honestly what can I say,.... (looking it doesn't make you want to eat it) there was no good angles for me to take a pic of this sandwich, in any kind of way. Presentation matters Lol ... maybe it was a "To go" item??... idkw ... but it was "Good" and that was the saving grace of the sandwich. I'm still a fan of Katz's though. read more

Dear Katz's management or leadership - I understand that you're most likely overworked and underpaid as we all are, but please designate time to instill whatever Katz's (common) customer service principles are into the children that are interacting with customers. Take some pride in the staff you manage. Not everyone is hammered and/or incoherent. Staying open 24/7 is your company's decision, so letting how sleepy and grumpy you are determine the basis of your interaction with customers is unacceptable. Shoutout to the staff the morning of June 1, 2019! read more

Food is decent but this place charges you a 2 percent cashless fee if you are paying with a credit card. They don't tell you this they just take it from you and while this may be a good business practice for your bottom line if a place does this to me without telling me I consider it robbery and will never return. read more

I've been coming to this place for literally YEARS, and my meal there today gave me, literally, the worst food and worst service I've ever experienced at Katz. I ordered the Broadway Breakfast with boiled potato (it came plain, with no butter or onion/chive condiment, as I was told it would be served BECAUSE THE GUYS WHO DO THE CHOPPING WEREN'T THERE YET?? allegedly), poached egg (overcooked and mostly hard), stale bagel, and fatty pastrami. Plus the virgin Holy Mary I ordered (& which I've also ordered for years) was watered down & came WITHOUT the olives & other veg accoutrements I've always gotten with it AND a desiccated piece of celery--they didn't even bother to cut off the dried up tip to disguise the fact that it was so old. All this for an increased price. Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't gripe about the price IF they'd managed to keep the quality the same. But no.... Then there was the service. Our food & beverages came late (with the problems noted above). The server didn't bother to check on us or refill our coffees till we flagged her down to ask her and then got real attentive when it came closer to the time to pay our bill. The manager or asst manager in charge (??) was asked to bring butter for the dry potato and ran all around the restaurant till we gestured to remind him of our request....and, by that time, the potato was both half cold & half eaten (and he sent a second server to deliver it at that). There were two other servers working, and they seemed to be prompt and on top of their tables, unlike our server. They appeared to be assisting ours, in addition to working their own tables. I won't write off this location until I return another time, only because I've enjoyed this place for years. After that... read more

Late night and not much open. Katz is open 24/7. French dip was delicious. Monte cristo was eaten without a complaint. At first hubby said the raspberry jam was very spicy that he could not breath. Turned out he inhaled the powder sugar. After that it was yum yum yum!!! Onion rings were hot and crispy but not much to an order. Server was attentive. My biggest complaint was the restroom was upstairs. When you have bad knees you avoid the steps. Luckily they have and elevator but I felt guilty using it. I wouldn't recommend this place if you are handicap, not much room to get a wheelchair around or a walker. read more

OK - background - I love Reuben sandwiches, and I used to love Katz's (still do in my memories). Austin native, and I was sorry to see Katz's Never Kloses close in Austin. Bummer. Used to be a Shiloh's fan back in the day in downtown San Antonio. Had a great food-truck Reuben here in Austin, or perhaps two. (53rd and Duval, and later Guadalupe and about 37th) Really like New World Deli and Otherside Deli in Austin these days. Had a really good one at Otherside Deli last week. Had a pretty descent one a while back at the Houston Montrose Katz's. This week ? No Bueno. Why ? Cold inards, soggy outards, too much of this and not enough of that. Flavor was lacking. Watered down. Hot and cold, resulting in too much cold. Well, to address the not enough of - not enough of grilling of the bread for the amount of kraut and Russian dressing - the bread was soggy when it arrived at the table. To address the too much of - "juice" - the sandwich was sitting in a pool of "juice" when it arrived. Juice - from the kraut and Russian dressing. A pool of it. Heat ? The bread was warm, the meat was warm, but the kraut and other items were ice-box cool and it detracted from the bites. The swiss cheese, which I asked for extra of, was almost imperceptible, perhaps due to the chill resulting from the before. I like the swiss melted entirely into the bread and kraut. I had trouble locating the swiss. When all the flavors meld together, the result is a true masterpiece. This one was a bunch of argueing children - just not getting along. There was some attempts, the ingredients were there, but they were fighting each other. Again, bummer. Based on what we tasted, I am a former supporter. Won't do it again. Not worth it. $19 base price, btw. So, I ate about half of mine, and took the rest out. Didn't know if I would finish it or not. Got back home, and we had some leftovers to deal with. So, I disassembled my Katz's disappointment, carefully, melted some butter in a plate, soaked the rye bread (nice bread, btw) in the butter and put it in the oven for 12 minutes or so at 400, turning once. I then heated the "inards" on a bowl covered plate in the microwave for a series of 30 second intervals until piping hot. Since the Russian dressing had been dissolved away in a pool of kraut residue, I added some spicy brown mustard to the bread after it was good and toasty, and sliced some Rudy's "Del Sol" jalapenos I had in the fridge, length wise, in about 1/12ths, and laid them out along the bread length, and reassembled the Reuben sandwich. Gave the first half to my spouse - "Wow ! What a difference.", she immediately exclaimed. I cleaned up my cooking dishes and tried mine, oh my gosh, what a difference - I would buy this ! For sure. Very tasty. Difference ? Texture - no sogginess, butter flavor in rye bread, heat - both in the bread and the contents, and personal preference - the spicy brown mustard and the jalapeno addition, though not absolutely necessary on a classic Reuben. FYI, I asked Katz's once to add the mustard, and they deleted the Russian dressing by mistake. The manager had no explanation for the mistake after I called back upon getting home and tasting the sandwich. "We interpreted the addition of Mustard as meaning that you didn't want Russian." No offer to make up for the mistake was proffered. Not sure how they'd do it anyway. Speaking of service, it wasn't too good in their shop at Montrose. The waitress that took our order had disappeared after taking it. Other folks came to the table afterwards, so there was no concrete replies as to why we asked for one thing and received another, or why things were not in good shape in other ways. Lackadaisical. Btw, if you like caraway seed in your kraut, bring your own to add. The restaurant does not carry it. And, btw, Randall's doesn't either. I stopped by there to get some to add to the sandwich and, and the Randall's on Holcombe didn't stock it. (?!) HEB on Buffalo Seedway did. Katz's did have rye bread with it in it, but when I called ahead, the Katz's rep said "not very much caraway in the bread, and none in our kitchen to lend to you", so I sought out a grocery store to get it from in advance. (silly to say - I like caraway in my Reuben!) When we got the sandwich, the bread was loaded with caraway. Oye vey ! Oh well. I still like my kraut with caraway in it. Then, minor faux pas with the waitress, take out containers, no take out containers, they served it in take-out containers instead of plates, which we requested, which contributed to the pooling of kraut and Russian dressing juices and the sogginess of the bread. The small things sometimes. You know. Well, half of the Reuben sucked, but the other half was resurrected with resounding success at home. If businesses would just pay attention to the little things at times, I believe that the reviews and repeat patronization would improve. Just care a little bit more about what you are doing. (....or, get out of the business?). read more

Second time we received no au jus for the French dip order. No sorry, no nothing... No orders in the future

It was lunch time and looked promising. Ordered the pastrami sandwich. The server pushed alcohol and appetizers and took our order and disappeared. Someone else delivered the food and my sandwich was dry, untoasted rye. We had to ask for mustard. No one did a check to see if we needed anything. At another table a different server spilled a beer and wiped it up with the guest's napkin and didn't replace it with a new one. She took the beer soaked one away though. read more

I split the New York sized Reuben with a friend and drank a strawberry lemonade. The former was delicious, and the latter had probably twice the sugar it needed, but I don't imagine those who do order it being dissatisfied. My friends also enjoyed their frozen margs, although we aren't drink experts. Given there aren't too many NY-style delis in Houston, Katz is a good establishment to satisfy your too-tall-to-eat sandwich cravings read more

I really hope my experience was due to it being 2am. My drinks arrived after my food. I didn't even drink it... bagel bundle was ehh good but could be better. French onion soup was delish! The P.C. needed something but was good. Sauerkraut was ok at best. Coffee tasted like an ashtray. Our server was good but didn't take the hint that we weren't pleased. read more

Being from New York is good but most if the time a curse! Knowing good deli is one of the curses. Katz comes on like a NY style deli but not even close. It starts when you call and you get this obnoxious guy with New York New York playing in the background. Houston wake up...this does not make for a NY deli. It's only about the food and nothing else...well maybe the rude waiter you may get...telling you "that's enough food your ordering yo much"...a real yenta! Pastrami is a lost art. It died with the end of three landmark dell's in NY...the Stage Delicatessen and the Carnegie Delicatessen and The Original Katz Delicatessen. Due to the ever increasing rents of New York city both the Stage and Carnegie have gone to deli heaven. Houston didn't be fooled by this glorified, over priced Subway Sandwich shop. As a New Yorkers we would never profess to know Bar-B-Q. read more

Been coming here fro years. Like 20. 30 min wait, but 4 spots at diner countertop, I sit down w my 10 year old. I'm then told it's Katz policy to not allow anyone under 18 to sit at "bar". Texas law says you can. We were there for lunch. Disappointing. Will find new favorite deli. read more

My. God. I only got take out but everything was so good! They have beyond burger subs for us veggies and the broccoli and cheese soup MIGHT be the best I've ever had. Also the gal who took my to go order was so nice! read more

Been a fan since highs school.. I'm 30 now so that should tell you something. The food is amazing! The corn beef is unmatched and the cheesecake shake is to die for!!! The ambiance is incredible. Gives you that New York diner feel. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Finish your meal with a cinnamon roll.. big enough to share.. hot.. fresh... worth the trip. read more

Katz's - Ruben up top.. large(New York style).... Modern day Monte Cristo below - Delis Near Me - Houston, Texas

Was kinda nervous coming here because I'm from Detroit and the BEST corned beef spot is " The Bread Basket"! I remember saving my money up and getting me a corned beef (trimmed fat), swiss cheese, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing (their own secret sauce:) ON an onion roll, yassss honaaaaay, not rye but onion roll!!! I so wanted that when went here but I didn't get it! For real, it was really good though, they even made me one on French bread and it was tasty, can't do rye :(! The sides were awesome and service was great! The decor I say was super dope, brought all my memories back of my NY trip...Loved it! read more

I absolutely love Katz's ! Jason at the bar keeps me coming back, and the cherry on top is Kerry the manager. A great team, great food, great drinks.... Not much else you could ask for! 10/10 would recommend!! read more

Food : super good Service : normal Atmosphere : really good Always looks clean I really like this place read more

I love this place for the simple fact that they're open 24 hours. I came here after watching a basketball game and it needed some late night food, and I ordered the chicken Philly cheesesteak. The cheesesteak itself was just OK, I needed some ranch or something on it. The portions were very generous, especially the sandwiches, they were huge! The menu is very expensive ranging from dinner to dessert to breakfast. I'll be back for sure read more

Can't go wrong with a New York deli! I should know, I'm from New York. Love, love their coleslaw, could make that a meal in itself. Generous portions, gr8 service, and food prices. read more

This is our second time coming here. The first time, we were seated promptly but the service was slow and the food was mediocre. We decided to try it again because the ambiance is cute and it's open late. Tonight I put my name on the list and we're told it's a 10-15 minute wait. We wait in the lobby right by the hostess stand. They call us even though we're standing right there and I didn't have my phone out since I figured the host and hostess would just tell us in person rather than call. I check my phone and literally one minute had passed since they called. I went to the hostess stand and they told me I didn't answer and gave the table to someone else. We were literally standing RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. You couldn't have just told us in person the table was ready? They proceeded to seat two more parties so we decided to leave and we will never be back. read more

For some reason, I had never tried Katz's for late dining before - not that I do late dining/breakfast that much anymore these days. It was fun to give it a try. Plus: Great location, plentiful parking, nice environment (I'm not a huge fan of the IHOP look and feel) and very pleasant staff. Liked the upstairs and comfy yet modern environment. Just OK: I didn't love the food. We got the nosh basket that I thought would be a little bigger and have more variety. There was just one sauce that I didn't really care for. It was a little expensive for what it was. I had the frittata as my entrée and it was pretty good, but I only ate a little and I didn't like it enough to take the rest home (and I like to take things home). The eggs and bagel were the best parts. The menu was huge so perhaps I made some poor choices? So so: Service was nice but very slow. We had to ask about things several times. Overall, it was fine and I'd possibly give it another shot, but probably won't be in a hurry to come back. read more

Best corn beef and pastrami in the world Craig! Except for Siegles....I recommend this place.

This is one of the great 24/7 Spots in Houston. If you're tired of going to waffle house or IHOP, this is a great place. The New York feel and deli vibe is pretty authentic. Wish it was a little bit cheaper, but what place is? read more

The food is great! I love, love, love their fried pickles. The location in Austin as well as the Montrose location have an excellent kitchen staff. I hate the customer service. Most recently I waited 15 minutes before our waiter (Jason M.) even visited our table. My partner immediately received the coffee but was not provided any sugar. The table next to us politely offered their coffee. My drink took another 20 minutes to arrive and when it arrived- it was wrong. The pickles arrived, hot and delicious as always, and afterwards Jason threw down two saucers in front of each of us, presumably for the pickles, without a word. He never asked us how the food was or asked us if we wanted refills on our drinks. The sandwiches arrived and the Reuben was scrumptious as ever. When we finally managed to flag Jason M. down after woofing down our sandwiches we asked for the bill and two desserts. My partner's dessert came immediately but mine, the bread pudding, had a wait. I expected as much. But after 10 minutes passed and Jason had passed my table several times without checking on us again, I decided to go to the To-Go counter to see if my pudding was there. It was. A small sliver of bread pudding to go with the excruciating wait. I definitely will not be dining in Katz's again. Maybe DoorDash can get my pickles to me next time. read more

The food here is always dry & old tasting. I use to come here alot, but over the years the quality of the food & drinks have been on a steady decline. I wish management would review & make changes. Unfortunately, I will have to cancel my 20 year relationship with Katz! read more

pre covid: We came twice late at night and both times I got a chocolate chip pancake which was perfection. I mean, it was past midnight and we had been drinking for at least 4 hours, so I'm sure it's not as good as I remember, BUT, the service was quick both times even though they were busy and they didn't seem to mind our drunkeness. read more

It's only a three because of consistency. They have gotten MUCH better. I do a lot of pickups from here and the staff would almost ignore you. I get it your busy, but as a gig driver I am representing a customer that paid good money for your food and also paid for delivery. The experience has gotten so much better. I believe it's a new manager and she is really great. So much she asked my order and got it together herself. If it keeps up I will definitely be a five on her alone. Keep it up please! read more

The philly steak was okay...it was more bread then steak...the chips were the only part I really enjoyed. the bar didn't have the liquor to make our drinks ‍ why even have the drinks on the menu!? That's poor bar management read more

So I have been sick and hauled myself in to get a takeout order of the Matzo Ball soup, thinking it would help. It did not. It was absolutely awful. It tasted and smelled like a packet powdered soup mix and it was so salty it was completely inedible. It also certainly did not resemble the pictures of the soup that people have raved about. I was unable to eat it and had to throw it out. read more
