Going to be going to New York in about a year. Katz's Is a must on my bucket list.

Can’t see the end because of the end screen videos. How do I pay?!?

[Mr.Saephan]

Looks like the camera person just got charge $50 for not returning the ticket lol

[fdama]

Looks intimidating. Will someone please hold my hand through the shop when I visit next month?

I visited NYC from the UK last summer and Katz’s was amazing. We don’t really eat pastrami in the UK, so this was the first time I’d tried it. Best sandwich I’ve ever had, and also a great hangover cure!

[bordiguy]

I think I’d rather wait outside and have some stranger order the food for me. I don’t want the employees to start yelling at me for not ordering fast enough. It looks intimidating as heck.

[hugobromme]

Nice bunch of rules you got there! No soup for you!

No matter how good your food is, your little clip literally screamed at me "Don't go there! It's not worth the headache!"

[PlasticPellets]

i thought this was just a hyped up place....i'm not even a big fan of i tried it....and it lives up to the hype....utterly amazing melt in your mouth pastrami sandwich

[drew]

I'll have what she's having.

[Whoopdido]

I would never go to this tourist trap. Screw them and all their rules. There are a thousand places to get a pastrami sandwich in NYC and I’ve seen multiple videos where people go around and rate a bunch of different places, including Katz’s, and they don’t always win. Like I said, there are plenty of other options that are just as good, if not better, not as hectic, no stupid rules. Frankly this place seems like Pat’s or Geno’s when it comes to cheesesteaks in Philly. Again, there are a thousand other places to get a cheesesteak in Philly that are much better, but those two are the tourist traps

Why do you have to keep the ticket and return it? What’s the reason?

[Waldenpunk]

Just got back from New York, went to Katz's twice. We went I'm the morning @ 9am and had pastrami sandwiches for breakfast. And it was amazing both times! And the staff were wicked nice!

If you're worried about money you shouldn't be vacationing in NYC!

[philiphilke]

Im visiting ny soon and planning to go here. So i get the ticket go to the cutter tell him what i want and give the ticket to him and then i get it back and the sandwhich. Now if i want a drink to my sandwhich i need to go to the side/soda thing and have to wait in line again?

[deetag]

I've watched this three times, I still don't understand. If it's your first time, and you don't know what to do can you not be served by a waitress?

[sascharai]

So how does Waiter service work for those prized front wall seats?

[oldironsides]

1 wit 1 wit out. That’s a whole onion bowl of piping hot lettuce garnished with ketchup. Badaboo badabing

[robertweich]

What are the average prices for sandwiches so I know how much cash to get from the Walgreen's?

[fiallos]

They now accept all major credit and debit cards.

[BootLeg_King]

“Ayo my man, let me get a motherfucking sandwich B”

[RAD]

Wait... tables up front are for wait service... it says it's self serve. I feel like this explains enough to keep it intimidating.
