So it's St. Patrick's Day and all we wanted was a corned beef sandwich to enjoy during March Madness. Tried to order online but the Woodlands location did not offer that option. (All the others did!) My husband decided to drive to the restaurant and ordered to-go. He waited five minutes, some one told him to have a seat. He waited five more minutes and nobody cared to take my order. Doubt I'll be going back. I'm from NYC and love deli. read more

This is a perfect example of what franchising can do to a product. This is a dismal attempt to recreate a New York Classic experience. It's like going to Las Vegas to see the Eiffel tower and think that's what Paris has to offer. Order the #3 sandwich. Pastrami, corn-beef, turkey with provolone cheese on French bread. The meats were as if they came out of an Oscar Meyer package. And don't let me fool you Oscar Meyer would have been a step up in this case. The size of the sandwich for $15 was something I could have gotten for $5 at subway. And once again hand better/more flavor. I have been to two Katz locations and both are pretty terrible. If you're loooonging for NYC style there are much better places. Or should I say place. read more

Both my wife and myself had the Rubens. I guess by the time we got them home, the bread had gotten real soggy. But while we were there, they have a misleading menu and it says they have drinks but what they don't tell you is that these drinks are made with wine and they do not have a liquor license. And the charge for these drinks are outrageous. The manager did come over there and tell us and I sent mine back. They comped ours but my wife had hers but she didn't finish it so watch her drink menu when you're there it's not true alcohol read more

Went here with a group of 6 after work, and encountered many problems. The food was good but it's not worth the money. Although our waitress was pretty nice and decent at first, she forgot our fries, the condiments we asked for, and did not stop by the table not once after she dropped the food off. Instead we saw her chatting it up with another table for 30 minutes. I would give one star but the other star is for the other servers helping us. TO TOP IT OFF.... we were grated 18% and our server did not give us our receipt (i had to ask for it AFTER we paid). We unknowingly tipped on top of grat, now here's our main issue... If the service was great then I would not be writing this review bc we are servers and we don't mind gratuity but... 1. to not tell us about the grat or even print the receipt prior to us paying.. 2. request extra tip on top 3. all for some decent then to poor service? no thank you, there are better late night options in this area. not worth read more

Every time I go here I always leave irritated. The food and service are good, but the prices are outrageous. I always get sticker shock every time I get the bill. Today was no different. 1 small appetizer, 3 sandwiches, 3 drinks and a side of fries was over $80! Sorry, it's just not worth that much. Especially when I can got to Jason's for almost half the price. read more

Thank you Alex for helping me understand why my order wasn't done yet. Great service!

First time visitor here . Heard this was a good place to get some food so I thought I'd give it a shot . Came in very early in the am the waiter we had was very pleasant and did an excellent job. The restroom wasn't the cleanest for how slow it was . The food was very sub par but I've also never had some of this style of food. read more

I ordered breakfast and a lunch to go. For breakfast I ordered the Simple Two Egg breakfast. Eggs, bacon, potatoe pancakes were well prepared. Really nothing special. I will mention the scrambled eggs were perfectly scrambled and fluffy. My first time for the potatoe pancake and I did not like how they were seasoned, but that is my thing, not the restaurants fault. 2-stars. (Think fresh frozen, throw on grill top) The service was good, single waitresses who also was the hostess. At the end of my meal she was a little slow, handling at least three different tables. Restaurant management takes the hit for not staffing correctly. Minus 1-star. Lunch was a Ruben, with sour kraute, thousand dressing on the side. The meat was a bit dry, but I did have it a few hours after ordering it. Waitress went the extra mile to package it in there smallest containers. Plus 1-star. Place looked clean and is beautifully decorated. I did not use the bathroom in this place. May try again as this place is open 24 hours. read more

Pros - this is 24hrs. The matzo ball soup was just ok and had some odd chicken/veggies (not traditional). We split a turkey sandwich which was ok as well. Really wanted some egg salad, but they don't offer any. read more

I love this place. The food is reliably great and it just feels good to eat it. I'm particularly fond of the Chicken in a Pot and cabbage rolls. I will go out of my way to get either of these dishes. read more

Had to get a hamburger because they didn't know what allergens were in deli meats. Wow! I will ask to speak with a manager next time. read more

Been dining here for years and gotta say Jim always makes it a great experience! The food is good and the service is spot on, anyone who comes here ask for Jim he won't disappoint. read more

Great food but overpriced as usual. The staff is perfectly professional but you can tell they are struggling with staffing because the past two times I have been there the service has been really slow for pickup orders. The finest time I waited 30-40 minutes for two sandwiches but I didn't call ahead. Second time I called ahead because it was a bigger order and it still wasn't ready when we got there and we waited 15-20 minutes even though they had 30 minutes advances notice. read more

This was our first visit to Katz's since they re-configured the restaurant and switched to 24/7 service. We have always liked Katz's for the great food but the food we had today was excellent. The Pastrami Reuben was amazing, Matzo ball soup was very tasty and the corned beef hash with two eggs was very good. The decor is very nice with a beer and wine bar, and a more open design. You can't earn 5 stars without excellent service and today it was superb...Plenty of pleasant staff and great table service. This is much better than when you ordered at the counter. You can't go wrong with Katz! Great option 24/7! read more

Clint, awesome person! Great server....and friend (?) Either way, he was great entertainment, made our visit to Katz's a fun experience. He knows the menu, and would recommend, if you stop by at night to ask for him. read more

It was good. I think it might've been little too over hyped and maybe a little on pricey side. 13.99 for a medium sized deli sandwich and another 1.99 for some "New York style" chips(not sure what that was since they looked and tasted like regular chips) might be a little steep. The place is open 24hrs and I can totally lose my mind at this place and stuff my face at 3am after the bar closes. However, in the middle of the day it seemed like another run of the mill deli place that just couldn't live up to the expectations. Service and atmosphere were average at best. I wouldn't recommend the place but also wouldn't be upset if I had eat there again. Just average! read more

Was so hungry after a concert and decided to go by Katz's. Had the chicken and waffles for dinner. Boy oh boy! The most delicious breakfast for dinner . Husband had the Yankee pot roast and he woofed it up. Service was excellent too, as was the ambiance. 10/10 read more

Went here last Friday night after a movie date with my wife. The food has never been great, up to a native New Yorker standards, but as a limited late night option, it used to be our go to place. Walked in got seated and subsequently ignored for 15 minutes with 6 staffers: socializing with each other; folding napkins; laughing and a variety of non customer service activities. About 6-7 tables eating and served, but we didn't get water or utensils brought to us let alone our order taken. My wife is very forgiving and said let's wait a little longer. I attempted flagging a black haired female waiter who stared in our direction and ignored us. We got up and left without incident. Will not be back. I don't beg businesses to take my money. read more

For a New York style deli they do not cut the cold cuts thin enough, they cut them way too thick to be NY style and I always request the meet be shaved ultra thin, I've done this in at least 4 occasions but they never do it. Also some of their portions are crazy. Ordered a kids chicken sand and it was about 2 inches square with a small cup of apple sauce and a lemonade for over $5 Their food does have good flavor but their portions and as a New Yorker you can see that it's not really New York style kills it for me. read more

Katz's - Kids size chicken sandwich - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Paid for an order to be told they were out of the item- 10 min after paying. Requested my money back, two managers later- that happened. While I was waiting for the refund and the rest of my order I had the pleasure of watching a waiter diligently pick his teeth, take the toothpick out to observe his findings, and continue the process. The Katz's in Houston are amazing, go to those and skip this location. read more

NO CHOPPED LIVER! (Not a Kosher Deli without chopped liver on the menu... sorry, but chopped liver is a minimum prerequisite for a Kosher Deli) read more

Third time wasn't the charm. The last time I was here it was okay but I decided to give it another chance. Ordered corned beef hash and the corned beef was terribly dry. Toast came with no butter. Waitress said they had to go get some from the back. For $13 it wasn't anything to write home about. I don't understand the no condiments on the table. The waitress was friendly but when I asked questions she kept saying "I think" it has this "I think" it has that. Overall unappealing meal. read more

My first time at Katz. It was a nice place and the service was good. Very clean and not too loud. Only complaint I have is the meat portions. I ordered a large Ruben. They should just call it what it is: a sauerkraut sandwich. There was almost no meat on it. I really wish I had taken a picture; I actually thought they forgot to put it on at first, until I took a bite and saw a few very thin slices. For an $18 sandwich, I expected more. read more

Called in and went and picked the food up. Katz's food is just normal deli food. Everything is just so-so unless you get their premium meats. Very Very high prices for what you get. Two sandwiches one appetizer and two desserts for $80.00. Pros: 1. Carrot cake was good. 2. Ruben was good. 3. Cheesecake was good. 4. The girl who got it ready was nice and pleasant and everything was there. Cons: 1. Got the Chili (didn't expect it to be that good considering I'm from Texas) It had no flavor. The worst part is you get 3-4 ounces and it's $7.33. 2. Got the "Nosh Basket" (4 appetizers thinking it could feed two) Four pieces of each is all you get totaling 6 ounces. One was a hot dog with just four slices (about 1/2 of one hot dog). The potato wedges are one small one cut into 4 pieces. It would take two of these baskets to average one basket from any other restaurant but they charge you the price of two. 3. I was hungry so I decided to get the "Katz Meow" sandwich (4 types of meat on one sandwich) thinking it would be big and fill me up. On their website it shows only one size. They don't tell you that it's a SMALL. Just 6 inches. For $14.60 you would think it would be a super large one. You better get two if you want enough not to be hungry So in the long run $80.00 later and we're still hungry. read more

I was torn between giving this place a 2 or 3. The restaurant is clean and the decor is on theme with the New York deli theme, wait staff was good, and the food was pretty good. With all of that a said... the prices here are ridiculous. $41 for 2 sandwiches, chips, and 1 drink. Sandwiches... with no side are $12-20. Sides are $3.99-4.99, drinks are $3+. The value for cost is way off. The food isn't good enough to bring me back at this price point. read more

You know what a staple of any good deli is, like a measured tried and true metric of how good it is? The Pastrami. If a deli has good Pastrami, its more than a fair bet that the rest of the menu will be of equal quality. Do you know what Katz's DOESN'T have? Good Pastrami. Even more remarkably so, it doesn't even have a manager who knows what Pastrami is or should taste like! The first, and only, time I went to Katz's Deli in The Woodlands I ordered a Pastrami sandwich. I took a single bite, swallowed out of sheer common human politeness, then immediately sent it back and asked for a refund; ONE BITE. IT WAS THAT BAD. The manager on duty came and asked what the problem was, I explained that whatever they'd put on my sandwich that claimed to be Pastrami wasn't that. "Well, I've never had Pastrami, what should it taste like?" If you're the manager of any restaurant, you should know what every single dish and every side tastes like...and especially a hallmark pillar ingredient like this. I had to explain what Pastrami was, how it's made, and how the bland and greasy and just...disappointing stuff that was below Oscar Meyer lunchmeat was NOT was what was requested or expected. Won't be returning to any Katz's locations, because if this is their best than I'd really hate to see their worst. [Edited for grammar and punctuation, not content] read more

Good but way too expensive for what you get. Let's face it, it's a sandwich shop with $13-20 sandwiches.. and NO that does NOT include any extras. No chips, no fríes, no sides, no drink... that is JUST the sandwich. And NO, the sandwich isn't some massive sandwich that you can split with someone else. It's a regular sliced bread size sandwich. And if you do add a $4.29 sweet tea, just know that does NOT include refills! Basically it's a mediocre insanely priced sandwich shop that's really nothing to write home about. Save your money and go to Jersey Mike's or even Schlotzsky's! read more

I had the meatloaf mania and it was a good sized portion. Flavor was only missing some spice (I carry my own hot sauce :) just in case..). Was disappointed that it says on Yelp they have a warm cookie and they don't. The girl at the counter said "we can take the one out the bag and warm it for you but we don't have any other cookies for over a year." My boyfriend had the Reuben and strawberry cheesecake milkshake and loved it. read more

I got the spinach frittata.... It was absolutely disgusting. I couldn't even eat it after one bite. I wouldn't recommend that entree. I might try another entree another time. read more

Talk about overpriced food omg. My wife and I went in on a Friday night and they were only seating less than half the restaurant. MOD said they were short staffed. She never smiled once the whole time I saw her. My wife and I ordered a regular sandwich each with one small bowl of fries. We each ordered an ice tea and our bill with a small tip was $46.00. The sandwiches were tiny, even the pickles have been downsized. Nothing like the pickles in the barrel they use to have. I feel sorry for our waiter. After people place their order with him and he brings what little food there is. He then has to hope he'll get a tip. Jason's deli has sandwiches twice the size for less money, no tip required. I took my wife there last weekend. The bad part of all this is, going to Katz's was my ideal. It'll NEVER happen again that's for sure. I'll never open those doors again. read more

Very positive experience. I had the chili cheese fries for an appetizer which were very good. And my salad was excellent as well. Wait staff was friendly and fast (in fact, too fast LOL the salad came out too soon. But they kept it cold for me) I've always wanted to go there and try some of the other sandwiches and I will go back to do so read more

We've been coming here for many years, usually for breakfast, but also for many lunches. This is my second review. I felt I needed to because of the occasional negative review below. In the dozens of visits, eating both in the restaurant or getting it to go, we have never, never been served poor quality food or in any way been disappointed by either the food or the service. Now with their expanded menu, they have real bacon and beef items on the menu as well. And comparing them to the deli in NYC is ridiculous, unless you like the hassle of traveling to NYC and the obnoxious people working in the NYC deli as opposed to the very nice and efficient people working here, in your own town. There is no place even close to the quality of their sandwiches anywhere in the Houston area to my knowledge. And their pickles are much better than in NYC, so there! read more

I have liked the food here and especially some of the staff. Yesterday was a final awakening. Two clubs were $50 plus with tip. We tip well. Had to get more sauce for sandwich and charged $1 for a dry sandwich. Wow we are required to pay for condiments. They know we are regulars. 6-7 staff at 3pm for 1-2 customers meant people were not busy. Had to flag staff 2-3 times to get attention. I want to see staff paid for their performance. Something is out of balance here. I can get a salt grass meal for about the same price. read more

Be cautious of portions. They claim to be large "New York" style, but that's not for everything. Ordered a side of onion rings for $4.99 and they was 4 onion rings in the box (really just 3 1/2 since one was a mini ring). read more

Katz's - Side of onion rings for $4.99 - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

No service, they just look at you and walk around aimlessly, talking to peers instead of checking in with customers.

Helpful and courteous servers! I had the Turkey burger and my husband a cheese burger. Great taste and cooked to perfection. This one stood out to us because they weren't all bread or bun. Fries are fresh and meaty. This was our first visit and we will be back. read more

This is my second negative review, it's just after 11:00 on Saturday night and I am sitting at a dirty table waiting for someone to take my drink order. They actually sat me here..... there's only 6 tables occupied. I'm still waiting after 10 minutes. Hmmmmm...... whoever the manager is they should be fired!!! My last review was terrible service and food, this visit is no service and a dirty table. Do they not wonder why they have only 3 stars??? . I'm just going to leave. read more

My first time here! The food is good but what I didn't like was the 5% gratuity added for to-go orders (also the 2% non cash) charge that is not disclosed before paying. There is an option for leaving a percentage tip before checking out, which I did (7% is the highest amount shown other than a customized amount). For Katz's to hide a forced gratuity for to-go orders is just sad. Weather the service was good or bad, and regardless of the amount you force on your customers that is not a good business practice. read more

Came to grab a late bite to eat with some friends on a Saturday night around 12am. Waited at least 10 minutes for someone to even talk to us and write our name down. Waited another 35 minutes to be seated which we didn't mind because we understood they were short on staff. One of our friends ended up not even getting his burger he ordered and it took another 40 minutes to come out as he sat there and starved. The famous cheesecake milkshake was pretty good but definitely not worth any of the wait. Wouldn't risk dining here again. read more

I have eaten at the Katz's on Westheimer many times. I've enjoyed the food there. My parents wanted to try the Katz's in the Woodlands, so we gave it a try. To sum it up, it was simply a horrible decision. My parents had the French Onion soup, and it came out at room temperature and was horrible. I had creamed spinach which came out actually cold. Not room temperature, but cold. It has to have come out of a refrigerator. It was unbelievable. When they brought replacements, my parents French Onion Soup literally contained no onions and my spinach had reached room temperature. The manager made no compensation with the price and did not even come to talk to us. It is a place I will never visit again. In summation, The Woodlands has plenty of good places to eat. Katz's is not one of them. read more
