The Scene – Crave blintzes at midnight or corned beef and cabbage at sunrise? This is your place. Cops from next door rub shoulders with families, politicos and all walks of colorful Montrose life at this brick-paved double-decker. Complete with subway artifacts and Grand Central Station-style handrails, it's city slick, not as seasoned as the cool capital-of-Texas original. – – The Food – The trademark Reuben will please you, with its fleshy stack of peppery pastrami, melted Swiss and zippy-sweet Russian dressing. Chunky chicken salad disenchants (watery), but matzo…
disgasted food in a metal dish like you are a dog or sometn

They do not know nothing about this dish, it calls " borsh" it's ukrainian dish and serves hot as a soup. They serve that cold and it looks like they spent on than no more then 10 cents. There is nothing in that, just red water. I did not want to eat that after I tried it, but i paid for that.
- Pros: the worst soup "borsh" I have ever tried

my girlfriend and i were downtown for a concert when a friend suggested going to this place. we were both very happy with the expereince. it was 1 in the morning and the people that work here were having as much fun as we were. we had drinks called holy mary's, like a bloody mary but spicier. very tasty drink. menu a little big but we finally decided on breakfast which was a little different than we expected. the pancakes of potato were great; they serve them with apple sauce! our server was great (christian) we were surprised to find that he had only been working there for a month-he was great. very enjoyable experience
we will definitley be going back-
Going downhill :(

My friends, family, and I have been going to Katz's for years and have always enjoyed it. We enjoy it so much that we drive from all parts of town to meet at this place. True, the service can at times be slow, but who cares when you're with good company and the food is good. Yes, it's pricey..but when you get great ingredients you don't mind paying more. Lately, this has not been the case. While the prices have not increased, the quality of food you get is way down from what it used to be. I almost always ordered the Scottish Salmon sandwich and you normally have to pick off some salmon to fit the thing in your mouth. The width of the bread is normally so large that you have to hold half the sandwich with two hands. This last time...neither of these compliments were true :( There were a few slivers of salmon (quality lacking) and the half-sandwich could be held with one hand. I'm sorry, but for $13 I want to see a mound of salmon in front of me...it's after all, just a sandwich with NO sides. Where is the Katz's I used to love?!?!? The order of fried pickles was reduced in size and the desserts were miniscule compared to the countless previous visits. I would rather pay more for what I used to get, rather than pay the same amount and get totally hosed! We spent $60 for an app, two sandwiches (no sides), and 2 desserts. That amount of food back in the day would have you "knocked up with a food baby"...aka completely and miserably full! I don't think I'll make the drive for Katz's any more...I'm so bummed!
If anyone from Katz's reads this don't blame the prices on the cost of gas...it was pricey before, now it's just plain greed! You don't s**t where you eat!
- Pros: not too many now
- Cons: Big prices, small portions, inconsistent staff
