Kenny and Ziggy's makes it their mission to give Houstonians the ultimate dining experience by combining traditional New York deli food with contemporary cuisine. At Kenny and Ziggy's we don't cut corners. We take the painstaking time to make sure everything is just what the customer ordered. We do everything the old fashioned way. We bake our breads and cakes in house, we pickle and cure our own meats.

In Short – Lower East Side deli maven Ziggy Gruber teamed up with Houstonian restaurateur Kenny Friedman to offer the best potato latkes, cheese blintzes, stuffed cabbage, matzo ball soup and chopped liver this town has ever seen. The "One In a Minyon" sandwich, layered high with corned beef, turkey, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and coleslaw, is just one example of the triple decker-sized fare that makes the prices seem a little more reasonable.

YUM!

Kenny and Ziggy's food is outstanding. I go in there all the time ever since they were on the food network channel. The service has been great each time we have been there, although it is a very busy lunch rush. The portions are very big, so I would suggest sharing entrees. I also surprisingly also found out they have a corporate catering menu, so I will now be able to enjoy kenny and ziggys at work! I would definitely recommend this place !!
- Pros: FOOD, SERVICE
- Cons: LARGE PORTIONS

maybe Kat'z should close.

After seeing Kenny and Ziggys on, Dinners, Drive-ins, and Dives, I had to go and see what all the fuss was about. I dragged my husband down and had one of the best 'home cooked' meals I have had in a long time. Stuffed cabbage was wonderful and hubby had the pastrami, he is still talking about it.
It was busy busy busy, but we were impressed how fast everything came out, hot and steaming, even his sandwich, and it was even brought out by the manager, a nice little surprise.
I have read the previous reviews, mostly good, and a few not so good. All I have to say to the latter is, are you kidding, the food was great and the service was friendly. Yes it was a little expensive, but also hot and fresh. I have never gotten as good at Katz and will never go back, I now have found a true deli. Thanks Ziggy (he stopped by and said 'hi' too)
- Pros: almost everything
- Cons: prices

Came Hungry, Left Full

Kenny & Ziggy's is definitely the place to go if you are looking for the best sandwiches in town! There menu is so large, its hard to pick a place to start. I have tried everything there from the sandwiches to salads to breakfast and it is all marvelous! Katz can not even compare to Kenny & Ziggy's. My company regularly orders catering from there and it is just as good as dine in. The servers are very pleasant and helpful. The Chicken Soup and Matzoh Balls are perfect for when you are feeling under the weather. Althought the price may seem a little high to some people, once you see the serving sizes you will understand. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
- Pros: HUGE sandwiches, high quality meats, yummy salads
- Cons: Does Galleria traffic count?
