I usually show up to this spot right before i go home, after a night that i also stop remembering at this point. But it's a fav of mine in the area.
It's open 24/7. American kosher meals reasonably priced (as anywhere else is these days). 2 levels for seating convenience. Out of more than 10 visits never had a bad exp.
I ask you, dear reader, when was the last time you sat down for lunch and everything you ordered exceeded your expectations? There have been many a time that I have experienced less at this particular eatery, but today we hit the jackpot.
We had a 10 minute wait at 2:30pm this fine day which was surprising since we thought we had missed the church crowd. Once seated our server Vyara immediately came to the table and we proceeded to order drinks and the fried pickle appetizer. She was patient while we perused the menu and was helpful when we asked questions about the lunch special which runs every day. We decided to split a pastrami sandwich on rye with a side of coleslaw (which is free). Our fried pickles were delivered and I must admit they were the best I've had. Kosher dill pickle spears battered and fried superbly, served with one of the best ranch dressings around. Our sandwich arrived, split as requested with the shared side of coleslaw. The 1/2 sandwich itself was thick, hearty and proved to be the best pastrami I've had in years. A beautiful shade of red, the pastrami was shaved thin and piled high. The rye bread was sliced thick and very fresh, a perfect compliment for the pastrami. The cabbage in the slaw was cut into chunks as opposed to julienne shreds we find common in most coleslaws. I found Katz' slaw offering a delightful version of what we consider "norm" and much better than others. The cabbage was crunchy and the non-creamy dressing was kissed with sweetness.
On our way out we ordered a chocolate macaroon cookie as I am ca-razy for coconut. Once at the casa we split the macaroon and it proved to be one of the most delightful combinations of coconut and chocolate.
I have no idea why I deserved such a delightful experience. Perhaps it was all of those "good" karma chips I had been collecting all these years?
After being enlightened by the theatrics at the LUMA Light Show at MOT last Friday, a friend and I decided to stop by Katz's for a bite to eat. I had never been to Katz's before and was hoping for something different and tasty based on what others had told me.
We were seated pretty quickly and we got a great table near the window where I could face out towards the rest of the patrons. I love to people watch, but unfortunately there was a couple making out over their late night snack just across from us. That didn't help my appetite very much, but the aromas floating around sure did!
Our server was very prompt and friendly, and it took a good bit of time for me to decide. I didn't know if I wanted to go the "junk food" route and just divulge in desert goodness, or the "healthy route" and try something different. I ended up settling on the Stuffed Cabbage Rolls...I know, stuffed cabbage at 12:00 am??? I remember my mom making this when I was a kid and she swears I hated it, but I have been begging her to make it ever since! When I saw it on the menu it practically jumped off the page and slapped me in the face!
So as we waited for our orders, I sipped on my Blue Moon and chatted a good bit. The food arrived and we both were pleased with our choices. Not sure if my friend liked everything but he cleaned the plate, so I assume it was pretty good. As for me, the stuffed cabbage rolls were HUGE, and I only ordered the appetizer! The cabbage could have been a little more tender, but the beef and rice were perfect with the tomato based sauce. I ended up getting more than half of the order to go, because it was so much food.
I'm definitely planning on hitting up Katz's again soon, so I can try some of their desserts and other menu goodies. And there are so many options on the menu I have a feeling I'll be coming back often!
I have no clue why I do this to myself. Every time I go here I'm disappointed every single time.
I think I keep coming back because I always think.... maybe it's what I'm getting? Maybe if I order something else it will be good. Maybe if I try something else that I wouldn't normally try... I'll be surprised and it will be good. Maybe today will be a good day and I'll get it right.
Nope. I never do. Doesn't matter with what I order. Doesn't matter at what price range. Doesn't matter how good it sounds on paper. I am always disappointed. The hot dog is no where near similar to a NY style hot dog. Nothing special about a fried pickle. I don't ask for much but seriously how can a simple salad just be all wrong?
So maybe it IS me and maybe I should just give up on Katz's? I don't want to give up hope that maybe either they'll get it right or I get it right. But I think for now... if anyone even suggests this place, I'll politely decline. I think it's safe to say... I am done and not going back.
Can't beat a reuben at any hour. That is, unless Katz's brought back their pumpernickel bread, but I digress...
Other good items to try, in no particular order or sense: cinammon roll (it really is colossal so share with someone!), corned beef hash (not your typical hash), matzo ball soup, the club sandwich.
I love Katz's! First, they are always open and we eat at strange hours sometimes. Second, it's convenient to downtown locations for an after play dinner.
We went there for dinner after seeing Cirque du Soleil downtown. We were seated right away. Our waiter 'German' was attentive. We order our food and it arrived pretty quickly. We had chicken parmesan sandwiches and one order of fries. The food was hot and delicious, but HUGE. I'd recommend two people share one chicken parm sandwich. We were both hungry as we had skipped lunch and it was still too much food for either of us. The soda wasn't mixed properly (too much carbonation and not enough syrup) but we survived.
One thing I wonder is 'how do handicapped people get to the bathroom in this place?' There appears (but I could be wrong) only one set of bathrooms. They are upstairs, and I didn't see an elevator. I certainly could be wrong, but if there is a bathroom downstairs/elevator, it isn't obvious.
The parking is located on either side of Westheimer... they have a lot across the street from the restaurant which is great -- no walking from distant side streets where you may get towed.
I really dont care for most of their food. Everytime I come here, its the same old story, too salty. I walk out of there completly bloated and full of water retention. I have been trying to quench my hotdog craving, havent made it back to Ray's yet, so I was pleased when I saw hotdogs on Katz's menu. I believe they call'em firedogs. They were pretty spicy, but I didnt really like it. The bun was kinda stale. The fried pickles were amazing, I would go back simply for those alone. All in all the food wa just ok.
Our server on the other hand, was AMAZING! I cant recall his name, Matthew maybe? Uhhh, not sure, anyway, this guy was on top of his game! He was awesome and probably deserves a raise or paid day off or something. =)
The BF and I went to Katz's last night. Wow... I mean, the food is still good, but a lot has changed, and I can't say it's all for the better.
First of all, the service has gotten... a lot... slower. Seriously! Two hours for the Nosh basket (good lunch or snack with some friends), a bowl of soup, and some meatloaf that you just -know- was already made in the kitchen? What? Then, they sat everyone downstairs, no matter how crowded it got. And did it get crowded! And loud! Holy heck, I really thought someone would talk to the table next to me and my BF, They were louder than monolingual tourists in Chinatown! WE WANT WATER WITH LIME! NO, NOT LEMON! LIME! I get it. You like citrus fruits to come in green and not yellow.
I can't complain about the food. I really can't. The Matzo ball chicken soup was, as always, like what I wish my mother could cook, and according to my BF, the meatloaf 2\was delicious--possibly even more delicious than his cheesecake shake.
I just really wish they would refocus on customer service. And what is the deal with the new menu? It's cheesey, and not in a kitsch way. I didn't come to Katz's to feel like I was slumming it in some off-Broadway tourist trap. I know where I am, and I'm not pretending I'm in New York!
We decided one night to head back out since there weren't many places open at 2 am and nearby. I am happy to say they redeemed themselves. I was starving by the time we were ready to eat and I could not eat my whole sandwich, YEAH Katz. I love the food and was so grateful they added the extra meat back on the monsters they serve. The staff was attentive and generous with us as always. Now I can give Katz the applause they should have had on my first review.

Katz used to be great, the fried pickles, the stuffed cabbage rolls and of course the famous monster… Read more »
What a classic restaurant to show up drunk at!
Because Katz's never Kloses, this gives Houstonians a chance to experience the NY deli during different times a day, after many different adventures. Whatever your adventure, you need to fill your tummy with an enormous portion of pastrami and the classic Reuben sandwich. Most sandwich orders come with delicious complimentary coleslaw and pickles. The breakfast menu should be renamed "The Hangover Killer" due to the wonderful and plentiful amount of grease and butter.
Now to the classic appetizer: fried pickles. Very good of course! Just savor them, they disappear quickly!
For the sweet teeth: the cheesecake milkshake is like a meal in itself. Although very pricey for a milkshake ($10), it's worth it just to say you've sipped on liquid cheesecake.
I have feelings for Katz's. Special feelings.
They have been around for decades, and there's definitely a reason why. Katz's is a go-to spot on Westy whether it's for a relaxed Sunday brunch, or a drunken feeding frenzy the night before. Massive menu selection, great service, huge portions, delicious food.. what's not to love? They even let me ride the elevator when I was blackout drunk one night. I mean, come on.
A little expensive? Yeah sure, but I have never had a single dish at Katz's that I wasn't absolutely thrilled with.
Fried Pickles? Yes.
Matzo ball soup? Yes.
Various sandwiches? All yes.
The beef bacon? No contest. I tap out.
Expect any sandwich to be 150% as big as you expected, and any dish you order to taste like it was made by your Jewish grandma. And as for "A vegetarian's worst nightmare", come on Danielle, it's a friggin' deli. If you don't like meat, there are tons of vegan options around town, like Discovery Green for instance.
Katz's is not only a well-loved Houston fixture, it is truly a unique and delicious spot, good for almost any occasion. Bring your wallet and enjoy.
I went on a Monday around 2pm, plenty of seating downstairs, more upstairs. Was all excited that it was Katz, liked the one in NY, I was disappointed, the portions are small. I got the lunch special of a half sandwich of corned beef and onion rings, $8, 1/2 sandwich was small but the corned beef was excellent. Onions rings were a bit oily but cooked well, hate when the onions aren't cooked well. Got the free pickles(2) and slaw. The slaw was vinegar based, pretty good and crunchy. The place seemed popular but I still like the NY one better.
Parking lot across the street. Bathrooms on the second floor. Desserts looked good but didn't try any.
I have just two words when it comes to Katz's: Fried. Pickles. They have some of the best I have ever had. That's pretty much all I eat there cause by the time they bring my main course, I'm usually full. Great place to end the night. There are better places but... well, they don't have fried pickles so FACE.
Not sure what the big deal is. It wasn't even that good at 3am, hmmmmmm. Had a waffle and it was pretty plain, hubby had a philly cheese steak, (Chili's is better). Cheeseburger was pretty good but nothing spectacular.
Guess you have to like hot dogs and kraut or pastrami????
A vegetarian's worst nightmare. I'm of the meat-eating persuasion, but my sister and many other friends are veg*n, and the menu is a virtual smorgasbord of meat, with dishes like meat in meat sauce, meat sandwiches with a side of meat (extra meat $1 more), and meat sundaes. Okay, maybe it's an exaggeration, but Katz's, would it really kill you to have a FEW veggie choices that aren't salad and fried pickles? Just looking at the menu makes my colon hurt.
On to the things that *I* can eat: everything I've had at Katz's has been totally lackluster. I get excited over a good Kosher dog, but Katz's version left me wholly unsatisfied. Caesar salads are forgettably bland. And let's not forget the mortal sin: their matzo ball soup is just plain BAD. Maybe I was spoiled as a kid due to passover seders with my late Jewish auntie (ironically, maiden name Katz), but when I decided to order up a bowl as a lighter alternative to all the heavy sandwiches and burgers, I didn't even finish it. Blech!
I'd say the only perk about Katz's is their oft-touted slogan "Katz's never kloses!". But when the post-bar 2AM discussion inevitably rolls around with me and my friends about where we should go to detox, Katz's doesn't even come "klose" to being in the top ten.
Gosh, I almost forgot about this place. Granted I don't get this way often, but when I lived in the area, this was my fav spot to eat.
They have meat, meat, and more meat. Seriously, you can order sandwiches as big as your head, full of meat. Plus, you can order them at 3 in the morning if you choose to. They have soups and other items, but the sandwiches are where it's at. They have a second story, but I've never been up there to see what's crackin, I usually stay downstairs.
The pricing is reasonable. Not cheap, but reasonable. Actually, let's face it, I'm usually a wee bit intoxicated by the time I made my way there and was just glad to be sitting, and eating so I really never paid attention to the pricing. But, the food is excellent, I highly recommend the place.
ANYTIME IS A GOOD TIME TO GO TO KATZ'S!!!
Everything I have ordered has been outstanding...seriously, I can't ever remember a time that I ordered something and I even thought it to be qusetionable.
The restaurant in clean, and the wait-staff is always friendly, like they really enjoy being there.
Recommendations? Milkshakes. Fried Pickles. Matzoball Soup. Smoked Salmon Club Sandwich. Yankee Pot Roast. Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich...I can't even remember everything I have ever tried.
They're overpriced, oversized menu doesn't bode well with me. I've eaten around their menu a bit wanting something to be really good, but alas--failure. . . It's not bad food, but it is certainly not memorable. It's just food and when I go somewhere I don't want just food--I want memorable and exciting.
On a different note--they're cheescake shake is very memorable. It's not like drinking cheescake, it IS drinking cheescake. I think everyone should experience this sensation at least once in their life.
Was searching for a nice, inexpensive place for Sunday brunch before hitting the zoo with the bf... we found all sorts of crazy expensive fancy places offering Sunday brunch, which weren't what we wanted, and then it hit us--Katz's! Open 24/7, breakfast foods served 24/7, on our way to the zoo, and won't break the bank. Perfect! It was my second visit there, and the breakfast bagel sandwich I got this time was AMAZING. A-MA-ZING. I had been sick and still didn't have my full appetite back but I couldn't help devouring almost all of it. Yum, yum, yum. And the other breakfast foods looked great too, it was tough choosing between them! It was the perfect place to go that day, thank you Katz's for being there 24/7!
Although a bit overpriced for a sandwich, Katz Deli has made a very good impression.
The 2-floor restaurant gave it a good Las Vegas try at transporting you to New York City. The panoramic skyline photographs and posters, sketches, and autographed celebrity pictures give the place a resemblance of New York's culture, and most are for sale at ridiculous prices.
They have delicious breads and high quality meats (for not actually being N.Y.). I recommend the fried pickles, slaw, and Katz's pride (a tall stacked Ruben), and of course the noodle kugel. But don't try to finish any of it. The sandwiches are huge and packed with layer after layer of whatever meat you choose.
I think this is the best place to go after you've spent the night dancing. It is one of the very few places open 24-hours in Downtown Houston that can be considered to be an actual restaurant. Forget IHOP or Denny's, if you're in the area and want some good eats, stop by. You'll probably have to wait to be seated but everyone else waiting is probably just as tipsy and just as happy to strike up a conversation. The waiters are nice, the restrooms are clean, and they have a full bar, just in case you've hadn't had enough. It was a great after clubbing experience.
The Reuben here is pretty amazing. Juicy corned beef, toasty rye, and nice tang from the sauerkraut. They know what's up... the perfect combination every time. It's a giant mess but I can always put mine down, no problem, no spills... dunno how someone with actual table manners would do, though! Good for late night and reubens, but that's about it. The sandwiches are generally pricey.. I'd rather pay less for a smaller sandwich. The other food has ranged from unimpressive (cheesesteak, various deli sandwiches) to just nasty (yankee pot roast, smoked salmon bagel). Sorry but the fried pickles do nothing for me. Service is usually pretty good, aside from occasionally forgetting something (usually the fries). Free ice cream sundae if it's your birthday, and it is GOOD!
A New York deli is the kind of place where you get generous portions of delectable meats piled high on the freshest of sandwich breads and yummy Jewish soul food. That's why I was so excited to try Katz's -- especially in a town desperately wanting for late-night eateries. I'm getting tired of playing Russian Roulette with dysentery at Whataburger when I'm hungry but everything else nearby is closed.
Too bad that Katz's is so inconsistent. Sometimes the service is good and sometimes it's so lousy you vow to never return. Same with the food. For a joint festooned with NYC paraphernalia, it's frustrating that the food doesn't live up to New York deli quality. Not by a longshot.
If you're going to pose as a New York deli in Houston, either strive for excellence or pray that an actual New Yorker who knows the difference doesn't walk through your doors. Katz's is a great idea but lazy in the execution.
P.S., I hear the Katz's in Austin is much better.
Ah. Katz's. When it's late night and I'm starving (and probably at least a little bit tipsy), you always come to the rescue with your 24/7 service, even on holidays.
The food here is perfect for those late night munchies. There's breakfast food (the French toast is heavenly when made with their challah bread and the pancakes never disappoint) and entrees like Yankee pot roast and penne chicken as well.
The star of their menu is their sandwiches, in particular their turkey which has been cured like ham. I always forget the name of this sandwich and it's not on their online menu so I can't look it up, but trust me, this is the one to go with. It's absolutely mouth watering.
Katz's also has great french fries. An order of them is usually sufficient to split with two or maybe three people, depending on how hungry you are.
In addition to all of this food, they also have a phenomenal desert menu with really excellent milkshakes. I've usually eaten too much to get a desert, but I have friends that make sure to always leave some room.
As I mentioned, a majority of the time that I'm here is late, so be prepared to wait if you go around the same times. There's lots of people watching that you can do and they also have a photo booth that friends and I have crammed ourselves into.
The prices are a little higher and the parking isn't stellar, but when you want more than just fast food late at night, Katz's is the place to come. They've been a Houston institution since 1979 with good reason and you can't go wrong paying them a visit.
There's a reason that Katz's slogan is about their hours - this place doesn't have a ton else going for it. The avocado reuben (a whole avocado covered in cheese and sauerkraut, smooshed between two slices of toasted rye) is pretty tasty, as is the borscht, but the prices are too high for the diner quality of the food. Also, the service is reeeally variable. You'll see everyone from post-theater couples to women for hire dining here, and it's one of the only tasty late night stops in town that will leave everyone in your group satisfied with their food.
The NYC theme is kind of outdated (and seems pretty kitschy/inauthentic), and the food tends to follow suit. Lots of sandwiches, typical American entrees, and "New York" foods like blintzes and potato pancakes. The "New York" foods usually taste better than the others, but I've never been served a bad sandwich here. Fried pickles. Also, free pickles upon request (it's not really a bucket, though, more like a small dish.)
My boyfriend picked me up one of the last flights in from the airport, and we both hadn't eaten dinner. Where to go at 11pm on a Tuesday?
He got all giddy saying that one of the good places open was a deli.
I didn't say anything. I'm no foodie, but what I am is a deli snob. A deli in Houston couldn't be trusted.
He assured me I'd like the food, and besides, it was late on a weekday so we didn't have many options.
This is how we entered Katz's. He, attempting to show me that Houston isn't _that_ bad. I, reluctant, yet hungry.
We walk in--it's very themed, very styled. A little more than I would've liked, but I tried not to get worked up until after I got my hands on the food.
We had the jalapeno cream cheese bites--jalapenos were so mild but I love my poppers. The Reuben was piled high with very, very lean corned beef with yummy jewish rye and kraut. My boyfriend ordered the cheesesteak--which I wouldn't dare order myself at a deli, but I had half of his the next day as leftovers, and I have to say, it was very good!
But, the true test was the pickles. I always say you can judge a deli by it's pickles, and, heck, they were pretty good. Not my grandpa's good, but better than I expected.
3 stars + 1 star just because I got a decent reuben in Houston. So I left happily satisfied with lots of leftovers. I think I can even forgive them for trying to be cute and changing every word that starts with a "c" so that it starts with a "K". (Katz's never Kloses.) Ugh. Maybe I can't overlook that but I'll still go back.
So I came back for breakfast after my Rocket's 5K Run. I must say their breakfast menu was delicious. I got the broadway breakfast where you choose up to 4 items from the back page. Their french toast is awesome! Their beef bacon is actually better than the normal pork bacon I'm used to. The cheese stuffed potato was a great addition to my breakfast sampler. The price was awesome great for a huge amount of food! I found my fresh alternative to denny's breakfast food!

I came here last night because Mai's was too packed. I didn't eat the sandwiches which is probably… Read more »
I miss this place!! I used to go to this to place after a night out of liters and liters of alcohol ingestion in the Museum district. Drinking coffee and eating their fried pickles soon after alcohol consumption, this place gave me what alcoholics only refer to as "moment of clarity".
On other days, I would huddle up some friends and put in our creative juices in conducting a few screenplays for a short film in this place. I remember hanging out in the big booth in the back of the 1st floor for almost 6 hours just putting together funny lines for our film. I miss those days of complete nonsense just BS-sing without the responsibilities of a career. The wait staff were always friendly and would sometimes hang out with us and join in the conversation.
To end this review on a good note, I did take my future wife on our first date here. I got her to try the fried pickles and salmon bagel, along with their potent long island ice-teas, which started many more visits to Katz's.
This place really isn't that great, but they're open 24 hours ("Katz's Nevah Clozes!") and given the location, its a hell of a place to people watch if you go there after midnight. I realize this seems pretty minor, but the metal plates really bother me. When you're cutting through something and get to the end, the knife invariably makes that awful noise on the plate. I realize this is pretty minor, but it bothers the hell out of me.
The bottom line is that the food is pretty mediocre and over priced. People watching is second to none in Houston though.
Half pound sandwiches available 24 hours a day? Yes, it's true. Katz's never Kloses.
Medium rare roast beef, corned beef brisket, Hebrew National Salami, Fresh Chunky Chicken Salad - makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Plus, if you're looking for a good Kosher hot dog - Katz's will serve up one, foot long style with sauerkraut and/or sauteed Onions on a light and fluffy bun.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner around the clock - you can count on Katz's to be there for you. And before you leave, treat yourself to one of their amazing desserts. Get a whole order of blintzes with your choice of topping or try the Chocolate Eruption Cake (chocolate cream cake with nuts, chocolate chips, turtle cheesecake, chocolate curls and caramel).
That's it - after all this talk about the delicious delicatessen, I've got to grab a bite to eat.
I wouldn't go to Katz's because I know what Kosher Restaurant taste like in New York... but I choose Katz's first before House of Pies or Route 59 after clubbing. This is an ideal place to fill your stomach before you go to bed when you don't have to worry about diet..... Opps. I have to watch my stomach.
Anyway, the services are excellent. Food is great for late night. I would eat 1.4LB Angus Burger, Philly Steak with a cup of coffee.
Moreover, next to Katz's, there you go, HPD station. You will see a lot of HPD car parked. It's good place to sober up.
I ate off of my friend's fried pickles!
I didn't think it would taste good---but I guess anything dipped in Ranch makes it yummy!
I love this place simply because it beats the hell out of any other 24-hour restaurant. Their food is average, but their desserts are GOOD. I don't know why people on here complaining about cost. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but we are talking maybe an average of $2-$3 more per entree than other Delicatessens. Not to mention that this place is located in Midtown where property costs are higher. So I'm sure they need to charge an extra few bucks to cover the high operating costs. If you want to eat out after leaving any bar in Midtown this is the perfect place to go. Cough up an extra few bucks than you normally would for somewhere like Denny's and get over it. This place has better food anyways.
Plus - Open all night
Weakness - Inconsistant service
Quality of food not up to NY standards
Hot Pastrimi is cold to luke warm
Ruben is just plain cold
Not Ben's on Long Island or Jerry's in SOBE
A 24 hours Kosher establishment. I'm not too crazy for this type of food and the portions of the entree are kind of small for the price. But this is a popular hangout place in Montrose and people seem to like the food "ALOT." So... don't listen to me and visit it if you want something Kosher or something different in the middle of the night when all the other establishments are closed.
This place became famous because of the original location in Austin. It's nice to see this place in Houston as they've helped diversify the late night restaurant scene.
This cannot compare to the Katz's in New York AT ALL. The one in New York is the creme of the top.
24 HOURS
Awesome food...but a little pricey..
Katz's...Its definitely worth the "drop of a hat" 50+ mile trip up the Gulf Freeway from Galveston; and whenever I'm in Houston, I make sure to stop by. My all-time-favorites are, in this order: the artery-clogging Grilled Salami and Cream Cheese sandwich served on Challah, the Holishkes (cabbage leaves rolled around a meat stuffing, topped with a tomato based sauce), Kugel (think of it as a noodle version of bread pudding) , and Knish (a fried thick pattie made from mashed potato). I've had better Knish elsewhere, but in Texas one can't be too picky about their "comfort-jew-food".
I used to be addicted to Katz' vegetarian reuban until I noticed my clothes started feeling tighter. So, I've cut back on my visits to this place. It's a great place to treat yourself to, after nights out at a sports event or a club, since it's open 24 hours. Given the generous portions, though, be sure to block off some time for the gym.
Katz's never closes!! I'm drooling just thinking bout the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich ($9) and the desserts!! Damn now I'm hungry. They have cheesecakse, sundaes, shakes, key lime pie. Heaven!!
It's OK.... to me it is overpriced. The cheesecake milkshake is the best thing and worth the $7. But a plate of eggs for $10? I don't think so. It is open 24-7. Honestly I would rather go to the House of Pies.
