Mediocre service. Sub par food. Ordered the matzo ball soup to go. It had noodles ! Really? Waited on hold to talk to a manger 8 minutes before I hung up! Will NEVER go back! read more

Today's visit was made great thanks to our very attentive waitress Grace ! A must to ask to be seated in her area. And the order was custom. Made to our liking with complete understanding. And the manager who dropped by our table " just to make sure we were well taken care of". The level of customer service today was top notch and sold our visit with 5 stars! Worth a visit for sure! Just my opinion. read more

I've been to Katz before but mostly for to go orders. Today I decided to sit down and eat my meal there fresh and hot. I ordered a hot apple cider, stuffed cabbages with a side of potato pancakes. The hot apple cider was delicious. The stuffed cabbage rolls were great as always and this was my first time having the potato pancakes. They were seasoned well and crispy. I would definitely order them again. Katz is a traditional Jewish Deli and it always has that feel. read more

First time here at Katz's and from the second we walked in we were very warmly greeted by the host and manager. Immediately started our experience off right. Once we were sat our server got our drink orders immediately and made recommendations for the flavored tea that my friend loved, quick and efficient server even though we came in during their busy lunch rush. They had good music playing that made our lunch even more enjoyable. The food was pretty good the spinach and artichoke dip was a bit watery for my liking but my friend loved it. My sandwich, the pot roast sandwich, was soo good and the bread was very fresh and nicely toasted. My friend loved the kountry klub sandwich and her mac and cheese. All around a really great experience that was set over the top by the great service. Thank you Katz's we will most definitely be back! read more

Was in the area and sort of hungry but not hangry so thought a sandwich would be perfect. Lots of parking as this is in a larger mall area. The #1 is their classic roast beef with Russian dressing so had to try that. What makes no sense to me is the sandwich was 14 bucks on the menu but I was charged an extra 4 bucks for some unknown reason. So this sandwich was 18 bucks.... For that kind of money it should be an emotional (moist) experience eating that sandwich. It was ok to be fair... not $18 worth but ok. read more

Katz's - $4 extra dollars for some reason? - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Totally unremarkable. I got the Katz Pride Klassic Corned beef, which was flavorless in both the meat and Rye bread. My son got the kids chicken sandwich, and when I asked him how it was, he said it tasted like bread. My sandwich waited on the counter for a full five minutes before it was brought to me. The pickle was extremely acidic, and inedible. As a native New Yorker, I know good corned beef and Jewish Rye when I taste it, but you won't find it here. I would call this a "faux" New Yotk Deli, and not genuine in any way. Very disappointed, but it has a three star rating for a reason. My bad for failing to check in advance. read more

Service is extremely poor; waited over 25 minutes for a table ( was told 15 minutes). Waited another 10 minutes at a table with no waiter coming by to even take drink orders. Tables that were seated after us being served first were enough for us to just walk out. If you don't have kids and can sit at the bar, you will at least get served. If you have kids, don't bother with this place unless you're feeling lucky. read more

Pretty much the only place to get Matzo ball soup around North Houston. Which has been nice to at least have that for my Jewish deli fix , after moving away from a city where Jewish delis were plentiful and second to none. And where I lack motivation to drive down to Kenny and Ziggy's. (Which I highly recommend, only true Jewish Deli I know of in Houston but would love to know about more. If you know please let me know!) Sad to have found out after missing the bagel chips in my last 2 matzo ball soup orders that they no long carry bagel chips. I figured maybe it was a mistake and or that the employee spoken to first just didn't know. She called them NY chips which turned out to be potato chips in my order. But I called to inquire and the guy said they don't carry bagel chips anymore. What's next no pickles? Or rye bread?! Just chicken noodle soup?! Oy vey.. Glad to see that Houston isn't devoid of cultural acumen as My HEB ended up being more on board with Semitic culture and could hook me up with the goods. So don't worry about me, I'll get by. But will limit my frequency to Katz (especially when in dire need of some Jewish penicillin) as it'll require an added stop to a purveyor of bagel chips. Which is the last thing ya want to do when sick. read more

Katz's - Bowl Matzo Ball - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

First time coming here. Ordered the watermelon refresher and it is good. Not too sweet just right but no refills. The service was good, our waitress Krista was very attentive. The ambiance is casual and busy and the food was good. We ordered cheese curds with marinara sauce and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were wonderful with the fresh chips. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with fries, wonderful flavor but not enough meat for the $$. Friend ordered the chilaquiles and said they were good. Plenty to fill up on. I do recommend trying this place out and will try other locations. read more

Nothing to say about their ambiance .... read more

The worst sandwich I think I ever had. It was the monte cristo. I was so disappointed.

Great place great service clean nice variety on menu food was great quick friendly service. Thanks c yas soon

Super friendly service! Fried pickles tasted amazing! Didn't really like my sandwich but not because it wasn't good but because it had too much meat. Later i found out that you can actually order something called skinny which comes with less meat, which is what I'll definitely try next time. Overall really good place to go with friends for a casual lunch or dinner. read more

Music is Excellent. AC is ON! Really, they had 5 Stars with just music and AC. But I had to order something, right? Bagels & Lox, matzo ball soup, all paired amazingly with hard cider on tap, Eastciders. Bagel had the thinnest schmear of cream cheese I'd ever imagined, but request for more was instantly rewarded. Service was friendly and consistent. read more

Came here for dinner to meet up with dive team. This place is basically a fancy Denny's/Waffle House, along with higher prices. The service was great, friendly & efficient. The food was ok, pricey for the types of "ordinary" food, portions, & flavors. We got the New York chili cheese fries & two-sauce pasta without meat. Thought we would get a large chili cheese fries for $13.99... well, it was just one small iron plate. It tasted ok, nothing extraordinary, definitely not "Texas size" & not worth the price. We actually preferred Sonic chili cheese fries.. . The pasta was ok portion, came with 2 garlic breads, $13.99. Meat was extra. Flavor was kind of bland for our taste, not "robust" as the menu described! 3 stars because of service & interior decor. Food-wise... not for us, there are much better options in the area, within 10-minute walking/driving distance. read more

Sigh. Katz's is known to have amazing sandwiches. In Houston, Tx., the one that popped my pastrami cherry was the Montrose location. Traveling up 45 N through the Woodlands, I saw a sign advertising breakfast at Katz's... I HAD NO IDEA! First, we were met with the smiling face of the host, who had a great personality and warm demeanor. We were seated and quickly greeted with a smile from our angel, sorry I mean waitress, Maleah! She was extremely helpful and attentive, and introduced me to my latest vice...individual Irish Creamers. Once I came off of this high, she suggested the most delicious, savory and filling breakfast, which is pictured here, the Loaded Texas Toast. I have not enjoyed a breakfast this way in a very long time. Additionally, my fiancé had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was hot and fresh, fried perfectly and remained juicy, while the waffles were fluffy and flavorful, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. I should really not be this excited about food, but this meal has earned this particular location a repeat customer... as long as I am able to sit in Maleah's section. read more

Katz's - Loaded Texas Toast - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

This is not a Kosher Jewish deli!! It's like I'm a glutton for punishment because I continue to go to this restaurant thinking things might be different. I ordered the scrambled eggs with lox and onions. Now I don't know what they think lox is but traditional lox is not cooked salmon; lox is a cold smoked salmon, a sushi grade salmon. It was disgusting. I repeat, this is not a Kosher Jewish deli. There are plenty of places you can go for breakfast don't come here. And if you want a Jewish deli there's a really good one in Houston it's not close to here, it's always busy but it's not like this. The ambience was fine because we were the only one in the restaurant. With that said the service was mediocre because even though we were the only ones it was still very difficult to keep our drinks refilled. I do not recommend this restaurant, ever, to anyone. Happy Fooding!! read more

Only reason why it deserves 2 stars... 1 it is open 24 hours which is always a plus. 2 desserts are pretty decent too I ordered the Reuben #2 and I like sauerkraut but this thing was ridiculous. I spooned out the sauerkraut so that I wasn't having a sauerkraut sandwich because I could count the thin slices of corned beef, 4 to be exact. The mound was the size of half the sandwich. I didn't say anything but the manager walked by and asked if everything was okay, I said yes because I didn't want to trouble her, but she sensed that it wasn't. So she asked again and I said I was a little disappointed with my sandwich, this was my go to sandwich and this time they didn't deliver. On the menu and all the other times I've gotten this, the corned beef was as much as the sauerkraut. This is where she could've offered to remake the sandwich, which I wouldn't appreciated but declined because I was full and we needed to get on with our day, but she just shrugged her shoulders and said, that's just how we make it. So I didn't bother carrying on the conversation THAT I DIDN'T START to begin with. Will we be back? Probably for desserts, but maybe not. read more

First time here and when we walked in we were warmly greeted by Freddy. He sat us quickly and introduced our server Christian. Since we had never been here before we asked Christian what he recommended on the menu. My wife already knew that she wanted to get the matzo ball soup, but his recommendations included the country fried chicken, which was very delicious. Served with white gravy on top of bed of mashed potatoes. I also wanted a cup of the chicken noodle soup, but no matzo ball and that was not a problem for them. We also ordered the Potato latke or fried potatoes, which is served with the side of sour cream and applesauce so good. Overall ambience was great. Service was excellent. Food was served in a timely manner and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

To use the name Katz's is a huge disrespect for the true Katz's Delicatessen in New York City. This is an outrageously, overly priced, and under promising experience... First, the macaroni and cheese was very greasy, and tasted like a bum made it, in the back of the restroom at the local Walmart... Secondly, the rye bread tasted like it was several days old and no flavor whatsoever... And let's not forget about the meat that was on this ridiculous looking atrocious sandwich... The corned beef was drier than a piece of leather, and the pastrami was even worse... The meats looked like it was cut using a hacksaw, it was shredded and thin, and had no flavor. I could have gotten a better sandwich at Jersey Mike's, more bang for the buck... If my Uncle Louie would have been given this sandwich, somebody would've been sleeping with the fishes... Only a Schmuck would go there and eat that food, and today, I was that Schmuck!! Thank you for the disappointment!! Deli Sandwich read more

Katz's - The Famous "Meow" !!! - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

We really need more authentic deli's in Houston and Katz's just doesn't fit the bill. I go back every year to confirm the food is still mediocre hoping they will have improved. This week my wife and I went for a bowl of soup and a sandwich. I had hoped for some pastries (hamentashen) but they didn't have anything (as in nothing, not even a black and white). The matzoh ball soup had to suffice since kreplach is not on the menu. The soup was SALTY and seemed like the vegetables were freeze dried. It was nowhere near the taste of good deli chicken soup. The pastrami sandwich I had was acceptable, but definitely not cured in house and the rye bread was thin and soggy. The meat was not authentic. The portions for the price were good and our server was delightful yet it took a really long time for the food to arrive from the kitchen. She offered some dill's/sauerkraut and we had some mediocre dill pickles. I'll keep holding out that someone at Katz's realizes the need to improve the experience for people who know deli food. So for now, I'll continue to make the trek down to Kenny & Ziggy's when I want good deli food. read more

If I can give this place 0 stars, I would. Went in last night with 6 people, so it's understandable to be grated but our server Stacy J never told us about being charged for a 'non-cash fee'. I've never been to any restaurants where they would charge me a non-cash fee. What kind of business is this? Also, our server never gave us our receipt, a friend had to go ask for it. Services was already bad enough with Stacy forgetting things we were requesting, to not checking up on us, just things servers needed to do to make sure their customers are good. Someone else had to take care of us on her behave. If the service is like this then you shouldn't be charging for gratuity on large parties. We are all servers so we know the struggle behind serving. We will never come back here and will be telling people we know to not eat here. read more

The good: very good service, clean, managers walk by numerous times and ask if your ok. The "needs improvement ". The sandwich is HUGE, but it's mostly bread. 3 layers of bread.

Katz's - New Yorker Cornbeef and Pastrami - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

I knew I should've made the trip to Kenny & Ziggy's...but I figured I'd give Katz's a try. Major disappointment. I started off with the matzo ball soup. The soup was not bad maybe a drop salty. The matzo ball itself was dry. I then had the corned beef sandwich on rye bread. To start, I told them I did not want the coleslaw on the sandwich, so they brought me the sandwich with the coleslaw on it lol. I asked to have it sent back and they just scraped it off. So the rye bread is too thick, and the corned beef was not your typical good New York style corned beef. I did order a "skinny" sandwich, and I maybe got a slice or two of corned beef on it. See the picture. The corned beef itself tasted rubbery. Service was very slow. It took them 21 minutes to serve me half a sandwich and a cup of soup. I will not be back. There is zero comparison to any New York / Jewish deli here. This is not a kosher deli ! While they are not claiming to be, I think the New York expectation is that it is. Once I got the bill they added a surcharge for using a credit card. So be ready for that. While this place might be great for locals, if you're from New York, don't get your hopes up and don't say you weren't warned ! read more

When we walked in Reviewed the huge menu, we were so excited. 24 hours. Breakfast all day. Sandwiches, burgers, salads, huge desserts and breakfast menu. We told ourselves we would come once a month and try a new item each visit. I ordered the monte Cristo with regular fries instead of streak fries, because I'm Just not a fan of wide cut fries. Husband ordered the waffle sandwich. We also ordered so desserts for ourselves and the kids. Our appetizer came as the exact moment as our meal items, which is disappointing. We like to enjoy an appetizer while we talk and wait for our meal. The manager brought our food over and handed me a side plate of steak fries. I politely explained that I ordered the "French fries" and he replied they only have steak fries and I must have read wrong. (See images of menu below) The monte Cristo had a weird taste, from the soggy bread to the off tasting "ham" idk I couldn't eat it. The waffle sandwich was tasty. The cheese crisps as the appetizer were cut up mozzarella sticks and honestly was the best menu item. Our desserts were huge and delicious. We had the brownie boat and cheese cake. During our meal the waitress came over to ask if we needed water and our daughter started the choke. The waitress WALKED off! While our daughter was choking and semi throwing up. Very bizarre. She didn't run for help or offer help, she simply walked off to type on the computer. The restaurant had a lovely simple decor and looked very clean. Due to the epic menu we decided to give it one more shot, but we aren't too hopeful. ******Updated review December 2020****** My husband and I went In early for a morning date. It stunk. Like dirty wet rags. Which was even more surprising as we are in the middle of a pandemic. I would expect to smell bleach or cleaning solution through the place. Also because it was 530am. We were hesitant to order but decided on tea and French onion soup. I'm pretty sure they have me day(s) old soup. The cheese looked re cooked and burnt, the bread was soggy and had the oddest texture. I felt like throwing up and we had to cut our date very short. What a shame. read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. I normally go to the location in montrose but this one was MUCH BETTER and cleaner. It wasn't too busy inside the restaurant so we got to pick our seats. Our waitress was ok. They forgot my sauce for my Rueben and had to ask for it. Everything else came out at an appropriate time. The portions are generous and the French dip was amazing! Klassic size is good if you want to eat half and save the rest for dinner! The onion rings were fried perfectly not extra grease and they were warm when delivered to the table. Would definitely come back! read more

When you enter you are greeted and seated immediately. Eventually your server makes their way to your table and takes your order. Food did take a while to make it to our table, but with their extensive menu I figured that would happen. Our server did not come to our table to refill drinks or ask about refilling them, we had to get her attention. Young was her name, she is very disengaged and really doesn't care to take your order. When the food arrived it did arrive hot, however as I was eating I looked on my husbands plate and his tacos were full of hair. We brought it to the attention of our server and the manager did come over asking if we wanted another plate, gift card or desert. However I rather not eat anything else from this kitchen. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 4 p.m., and it wasn't busy, but they still seemed a little short staffed. The decor is modern yet retro. I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt since they are open 24 hours. The quality of the food just doesn't match the price. I ordered a patty melt with sautéed onions, my husband ordered The Three Stooges sandwich, and we shared chips and queso. Everything is served plain, with no sauce, which would be fine if everything was seasoned and cooked well, but everything was bland. Maybe I just didn't order something they excel at. I don't think I'll be back again. read more

Katz's - $7.18 teas for our $18 Reuben Sandwiches...overpriced and NOT worth it! - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

FYI: If you order off of Yelp, the price is higher as the order is processed by Grub Hub. Better to order directly off of Katz's website. The overall 3* rating from other people is appropriate. I paid $22 including the extra $8 to get it New York style, with extra meat. It had about half the amount of meat it should have. Take a look at the picture. The PASTRAMI and CORNED BEEF were cold, not steamed and warm. The bread tasted like it came from the bread man or the grocery store, not fresh baked. My expectation was fresh baked bread and fresh made meat. Not a New York deli experience in my book. We're visiting family in The Woodlands so gave this a try. Next time we'll drive the extra distance to go to Kenny and Ziggy's in Houston, now that's a Jewish Deli! read more

They are actually fried pickle spears, not the normal slices. These were surprisingly excellent and the order was enough for many people to split. I then had the chili dog which was huge and a side of onion rings. The chili could have been a little better, I found it a tad bland. The onion rings were super crunchy and delish.
