The best cheesesteaks I've found anywhere in Washington are at Tat's. They've also got solid cold and hot sandwhich selections - I dig the meatball sub, haven't had the pastrami yet. Wings and fries are fantastic. There's almost always a line, at least during lunch. There's inside seating and a few tables outside. Location is awesome. But honestly, even if the service sucked, the chairs were broken, and the menu only had the cheesesteak- I'd still be recommending this place. If you like cheesesteaks, you gotta get here asap. read more

This is the place. If you're looking for a sandwich that'll change your life, that is. You've got a lot of options for getting a sando in Seattle, and as you can see by all the hype dripping off these reviews, Tat's has got something figured out. I'd heard they were good, but holy smokes, I didn't realize they would be *that* good. Here are my recommendations: - Get the Tatstrami. Its combination of flavors is so freaking good. - Order online and then sweep in and pick it up. Since the place does most of its business during lunchtime, there's always a line and this is a way to skip that. If you want to venture beyond a pastrami sandwich, I highly recommend the chicken cheesesteak. While I normally opt for beef when it comes to cheesesteaks, Tat's actually isn't amazing but their chicken one is. So get that instead. In short, this is tied with Dingfelders for the best sandwich in Seattle. Pay it a visit and bring your appetite. read more

14 years later and still excellent! Tatstrami is fantastic!! Dip sub and Italian also yummy. read more

The sandwiches here were so good! They are also huge. The service is fine and they're pretty speedy with getting orders together but sometimes it can be hard to hear your number since it's a little noisy. Would definitely go back for the eggplant parm again! They have 2 veggie sandwiches but no vegan items. read more

Delicious Italian submarine sandwich. Filled with great deli meats and spicy sauce...the other key factor was a wonderful roll the sandwich was built on. Perfect location right by Pioneer Square and just a few blocks away from King Station... they also have an amazing menu with a few cold options and several hot sandwich options. For Seahawk or Mariners fans it is close to both stadiums...please visit them soon!!! TATSDELI.COM read more

I changed my mind. The food is very good. It seems to have improved in some way. I probably just dont like the chicken philly or the dry chicken deli sandwich. This was my fourth time visiting. The portion was huge. They pile it with meat. It was decently priced. I paid $22 after tax. For a small business, I thought it was reasonable for the size. The staff is very nice as well read more

Visiting in from out of town, I challenged my friend to take me to the best local sandwhich in Seattle. He did not choose wrong. The place is small with limited seating but it adds to the frenetic charm. It smells amazing inside, the sandwhiches are huge, and everyone eating just seemed to be in heaven. He grabbed the tatstrami and loved it. I went the Italian with extra pickles. The spicy peppers were amazing. My mouth was so happy. Def recommend adding some oil and vinegar but my God was this a bomb sub read more

Tats makes you feel like you're right back in a sandwich joint in Philly. It's got a major east cost sandwich vibe, which is great. The workers are all very nice, but the Philly cheesesteak... man is it good... I love a good cheesesteak, and Tat's has very easily earned itself a spot on my Mount Rushmore of cheesesteaks. The steak is steak ribbons in stead of chopped I, which I much prefer. The bread holds its form, mostly, the wiz is nice and warm and they give you plenty of it. In a city where east coast style sandwich shops are harder to come by, tat's is the perfect spot for any hoagie, and chief among them, the Cheesesteak. read more

2.8/5 I haven't been in years so decided to pop in to see how things are. Ambiance - not much to say, typical sandwich shop. Bunch of seating. Service - service was top notch, the woman who took my order had a huge smile and helped make suggestions on what to try. Food - I tried the roast pork sandwich, with a side of old bay fries and a soda. Total came to $30, so it is a pricier lunch. I have to say after spending $30, I was a little let down. The fries were great, they held their crisp and had a ton of free sauces for dipping. The sandwich itself, although it was very hearty and LOOKED amazing, lacked flavor which was shocking to me. The meat didn't taste seasoned, but it was tender. Sauteed spinach wasn't giving off much flavor either. I thought my tastes were off but I gave a few bites to my fiance and she said the same thing. Would still like to try some of their other options, I would just pass on the roast pork. read more

Meeting up in downtown Seattle with friends traveling from Australia...and needed a place for lunch. Walked to Tat's as it's the only place I know in dt Seattle and little time to research other options. We ordered the traditional...Philly cheesesteak...beef, fried onions and whiz...yes cheese-whiz. Food came out pretty quick and happy that we were able to secure booth seating. The taste was great...but I did find it a wee bit salty. We all came away very full and satisfied. It was another positive Tat's experience. read more

12 years later and this place still comes through! I just inhaled a Philly cheesesteak and it was so good! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Best beef philly cheesesteak I've ever had here in Seattle (I've never been to Philly so not sure how the OG tastes). Service is fast, they mean business so know what you want. Luckily, they have many signs to help you order your food. Everything was fresh and hot. The place was very busy which is a great indicator of a good place to eat. Plenty of seats for dine in or you can order online and take it to go. They also have tvs to watch sports (they are Philadelphia establishment). I really enjoyed my sandwich to which I added peppers, mushrooms and don't forget the cheez whiz! I hope to come by more often! read more

This was not my first time here but my first time since the pandemic when you could pull up in the alley and they brought your order to your car. I ordered a lunch pick up on a Thursday for noon and prayed to find parking, which I did right around the corner. Whew they were busy as usual, packed with no seating and a line - lunch rush! Turkey tatstrami is my go to order, slaw is always a banger and they pack their subs with meat! It did not disappoint and my pictures don't do my sandwich justice but trust me, if you have a chance they are worth it! read more

Quite frankly this place was a religious experience. From the moment I walked in my nose was blessed with the beautiful smells of meat, cheese, bread, and wonderful spices coming together in a beautiful marriage. The woman at the counter was incredibly kind and helpful in assisting me with the menu. The service was quick and I received three of the most gorgeous 8 inch sandwiches I have ever laid my young eyes on. When I took my first bite a feeling shot through my soul that I can only describe as true enlightenment. I can still taste my wonderful sandwich as I'm typing this out and I insist you reading this to get up and go get a sandwich from Tat's it will change your life read more

It was ok. I only eat chicken, so that might have been why it was just mid level to me.

Amazing. This town owes a debt of gratitude to Tats for being there to make these delicious Philly cheese steaks and other sandwiches. Top 3 in the city read more

Probably the best sandwich I've ever had. Highly recommend their Grinder or pesto chicken parm special

Pricey but delicious enough that I ate this in about 60 seconds piping hot and I'll go back again!! read more

Tat's Delicatessen - Hot Pastrami - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I don't really get the hype around this place. There's only one grilled chicken option, and the rest are fried. The only grilled chicken sandwich is the chicken cheesesteak, but I'm not a fan of cheesesteaks, and unfortunately, there were no other options, which was really disappointing. It was also odd that there wasn't an option to swap the fried chicken for grilled. With no other choice, we went for the cheesesteak, and it was bad. It was overly soggy from the cheese, and all we could taste was cheese and chicken -- there was no real flavor from the filling. read more

The cheesesteak is delicious. That's all you really need to know. We ordered it the Tat's Way, which had a great balance of flavors through the toppings. The bread is good too. Pair it with the cole slaw for some freshness and acidity, and it's perfect. The line can be long especially with people doing pick up orders as well, but the staff move fast. Limited seating inside. read more

I was in Seattle for a short period of time. Someone in my party recommended Tat's. I recall having one a long long time ago. I ordered a Tatstrami sandwich and my bf ordered a cheesesteak. I got it with pepper jack, onions, mushrooms, sweet peppers. I didn't realize they had a Tats way version and wish I had gotten that for both sandwiches, but my sandwiches still were pretty tasty. I loved the tatstrami sandwich. The cheesesteak was delicious, but I wish there was less meat and more bread for an even bread to meat ratio read more

Holy mother of Philly Cheesesteaks ... I mean outside of a few East Cost pockets, I've not had one this good (and rightly made) for some time. Atmosphere is East Coast deli and the selection appears to be very broad but focused on sandwich making, including breakfast options.. the full menu was available at 9am. read more

Tried this place out because of a TikTok recommendation. I love a good sandwich and that's exactly what I got. My meatball sub was warm and toasty. The service was a real deli - like, where they call out the number of your order and you seat yourself. My friend got the New Yorker and there's definitley always the other 1/2 to take home. I actually thought my meatball sub was tastier for when I got home. Anyways, it's a cozy sandwich spot in Pioneer and worth a try! Sandwiches are on the higher end of price ($15+) but the portions are hefty! Left full and satisfied for a drizzly day in Seattle. read more

Once I discovered Tats I have driven to Seattle many times since I moved to Olympia last year. Simply because their sandwiches are THAT good. My favorite is the Turkey Tatstrami. Shout out to the, I think manager (should have asked her name) today. Somehow my brain glitched and I thought I said Turkey Tatstrami but I just said Tatstrami which is beef ( I think).The lady was so amazingly kind and swapped out my sandwich for the Turkey, without hesitation.! She even added extra fries to the basket! I appreciated it more than she will ever know! Seriously, go. These sandwiches are worth every penny. And their fries with old bay seasoning are fantastic too! Make sure to get there before closing time (2:30) during the week! read more

I love this spot. Close to my office. Super packed at lunchtime. Online ordering is the way to go. Even then it can take a minute. It's worth it! Breakfast Sammy's are amazing. Turkey is great. So is the roast beef. But the cheesesteak is on point!! read more

Tats is always a treat . I've tried several different sandwiches and they were all bomb

On weekdays, this place offers breakfast. I went here several months ago and had a steak and egg sub that was outstanding. I couldn't wait for a weekday off to relive the experience. My 2nd experience was completely different. I ordered the same sub along with home fries. The sub looked different than earlier, which was fine. However, it wasn't nearly as good. At least it was edible, unlike what they passed off as "home fries." I was expecting breakfast style fries, i.e. diced, seasoned, fried potatoes. Instead, I got French fries that were fried with onions and served barely room temperature. Some of the fries didn't taste fully cooked. A few bites in, and the rest was destined for the garbage. On the plus side, the staff seemed very nice. They too, though, were not as I remembered. I've been to Tat's a total of a handful of times. The place bills itself as an authentic East Coast style sub shop, and the staff sounded like they were from the northeast. This last visit, however, the staff was clearly Hispanic, which is a big plus if you're going out for Mexican food. I suspect that Tat's has changed ownership. What a loss. read more

Yummmmm!!! We were headed to the Mariner game and wanted something a little less greasy than the ballpark would have to offer. Subs sounded great, and this place had excellent reviews... for good reason!! There was a bit of line when we got there, but it moved fairly quickly. I ordered the club with ham and Turkey and my husband got a Philly. We both got the 8". Holy guacamole!! These things were massive!! And so stuffed full of stuff. I could only eat half my sandwich. It did make for tasty leftovers. You definitely get your money's worth. Packed to the brim! And very delicious. The Philly was just as packed and filling too. My husband really liked it. We will definitely go back when we're in the Seattle area. read more

Was finally in the area at the right time to try Tat's. Stepped into cool atmosphere, and friendly, professional staff. I had a classic 8" deli sandwich, on hoagie roll, and it was delightful; fresh bread and ingredients; size was bordering on too large, which is perfect IMO. This was a wonderful experience, I will be back - thank you! One add... a reviewer noted that there were several police officers in the deli during their visit, which made them "uncomfortable." There were SPD officers waiting for their food when I was there as well. 1) The main SPD precinct is blocks away, and Tat's is highly rated. 2) LEOs are people too, and their presence was not problematic; in fact, I took the time to thank them for their service... you should try it! read more

There's instructions how to order posted where you can see. There's a good variety of sandwiches and the sandwiches are good portions. They taste good and the fries are nice and crispy even when I got it to go and brought it back to my office. The Philly Cheese Sandwich is great. The place gets pretty full at lunch time, long line waiting going through the place on the week days, because of all the office workers. But the in between hours are pretty decent. read more

Heard about this place a lot and wanted to tried the cheesesteak with grilled chicken. The sandwich was not worth the hype and it was average too much cheese and it did not taste that good. Service was good and the server gave us recommendations for grilled chicken sandwiches. The place has a lot of seating with lot of restrooms and there is parking nearby as well. It's no where close to Philly cheese steak. read more
