    Chopped Steak

    Chicken & Waffles were good but my friends "Chopped Steak" was literally just ground beef. False advertising tbh, not sure why they ask how she wanted it cooked if the ground beef would come out the same regardless. Hostess seemed kind of lost & out of it but overall I guess it was okay for eating out late.

    A serving of french fries

    The food, atmosphere and service were all good but beware of hidden costs: -The waffle sandwich comes with home fries. We substituted home fries and asked for french fries instead. Instead of an upgrade price of $1-$2, the french fries were $4.99, which is the regular price. -They charge 2.85% of your bill to use your credit card. I understand that businesses have to make money but I would prefer full disclosure of any UNEXPECTED costs.

    Spinach Dip

    Very decent food but server was not attentive at all the watermelon lemonade was amazing!!! Definitely would consider going on a weekday tho cause weekends it be packed

    Caramel Raisin Bread Pudding
    Yasamin R.

    I've been here a couple times and it usually takes a while to bring out the food, probably around 25-30 minutes. Their food is OK and I have only tried their breakfast items. Waffles were nice and fluffy. The brisket tasted good on its own, but the hollandaise sauce didn't pair well with it. Servers are all very nice and attentive. They will refill coffee without being asked. It is a lively place and has a diner-style feel to it. The dessert is AMAZING. I was hesitant since the bread pudding had raisins but I would absolutely come here again just for that. The chocolate cake was good too, but the bread pudding really stood out. Easy to park, they have a parking lot attached.

    Times Square
    Morgan Ley A.

    Came here with family late one night as they're open 24 hours, I believe. The worst part was the wait with the limited seating but everything else from the atmosphere to the food was a 10/10. Our server was very patient and amicable with our party of 5 and the seemingly endless questions and preferences of each individual. I had a margarita flight and the Times Square sandwich and everything was delicious.

    Cup Rustic Tomato Basil Soup
    Sharon S.

    Let's start with Jason, bar staff. Excellent attention. Courteous. Friendly. The Tomato Basil soup is good. My first time to have it. Has a little spice, but only enough to warm the throat. The soup was a bit thick and could have used a fresh grated parm on top. I would order again. The burger. Cooked perfectly. Had mushrooms on it that were not ordered, but easy to remove. A side of onion rings were perfect, as usual. $61 was painful. Still a great place to go late night.

    We always try to stop by Katz when we are in Houston for the French dip and matzo ball soup. My husband should be a spokesperson for this sandwich. Service is always friendly here. Our food was served hot and didn't wait too long. I tried the pastrami Reuben. Flavor is there I just wish the meat was thicker instead of sliced deli meat. It's still a tasty sandwich.

    Ashley H.

    Well.... The vibe was definitely giving NYC. No greeting from the hostess just straight in with "for two?" with zero personality. Other staff greeted us kindly as we walked toward our table. Our waiter was nice and attentive but the food felt rushed and the jalapeño poppers came out cold. Sandwich and artichoke dip were pretty good. I got Matzo ball soup to-go which tasted great. For Houston I think they could've represented themselves a bit better. Would I go back? Yes, but the staff should and could use more spark and to make sure food comes out hot.

    Doordash took Ten minutes to retrieve. This place is nice and vintage. Music is smooth and the people here look well to do. Food is fresh. Cheesecake shake and the Ruben Sandwich are recommended by staff.

    I was excited to try Katz after a referral to eat here . The food itself is very disappointing. I had chicken Parmesan sandwich . Soggy before I could eat it .. dripping of water sauce from marinara . I asked to send back . I got the country club . It's a sandwich so not much I can mess up . It was hard to though . Didn't know it came on a bagel and the bagel was a bit toasted so hard to bite . The homemade spinach dip is a LIE . Nothing homemade about it . It was super watery . The Alfredo pasta is wayyy over priced for taste . No seasoning. Very dry ... Kids pizza was undercooked . Cheese wasn't even melted yet . Service was though. Waiter and manager were respectful . Ambiance is family friendly nice and clean . Over this experience is a 2 out 5 . I honestly expected way more . The bill was $41 for Alfredo and a sandwich lol . I was pissed because it wasn't even worth $10 . Not sure what's the hype was but I didn't Find it OH AND HAIR WAS IN OUR FOOD . Enjoy the nice I tried to take .

    Cobb Salad
    Kim W.

    Always good food! I do feel it's better to eat in, but this time I ordered delivery. Service was fast and my food was fresh. I ordered the Cobb salad. Their Cobb salad does not come with a boiled egg, just so you know. I did pay for extra avocado, because I love them. They offer a very nice variety of salad dressing. However, I wasn't feeling adventurous today.‍ The ambiance is casual and usually pretty busy. When ordering delivery you miss the temptation of the dessert counter. But even delivery is safe sometimes. The cheesecake still calls my name. However, their food is consistent as well as their service. I've not had a bad experience. So if you're looking for a down home kinda meal, Katz's will probably work for you.

    Avocado toast with salmon
    Amy A.

    I was excited about trying this place. The atmosphere and decoration are cool. We ordered the margarita flight which was yummy. Then we got the avocado toast and the Salmon Eggs Benedict. I would not get the eggs benedict again, as the sauce was sour tasting. We didn't like it. We absolutely loved the avocado toast. It was so fresh and tasty. We ended our meal with watching a drunk person out the window hit our vehicle in the Katz parking lot and the cops had us waiting hours and they never came to help us. We won't be returning because of this incident. Go somewhere else if you're out and about on a Friday night.

I told her we want our money back and she said, "well I'm not going to refund for the drinks you had". Ma'am, that's not how you run a business. Just admit you messed up and take ownership of your mistakes to help a customer out. - Fourth she mentioned that other tickets have been lost today and other foods have been stolen before. This just shows how disorganized this placed is. We were able to ask for our money back but it was a battle about it. I was disappointed because we wanted to support your business but at this service? Heck no! Do not come here. And from reading other reviews now we did not miss on the food.

Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.

This is the one and only location here and a great stop for all kinds of sandwiches. Their menu includes innovative offerings and iconic flavors, essentially the best of both worlds. If you're craving a classic or simple sandwich, you can get that. However, if you're looking for something special or out of this world, you can also get it. Ike's specializes in sandwiches with their Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce, both unique in its own way. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, or on a gluten-free diet, their menu has it all. I personally am not a super fan of the Dutch Crunch bread since I find it a bit too harsh on the palate and somewhat dry, but love the Dirty Sauce (make it extra or on the side). I enjoy subbing the Dutch Crunch with either French or Sourdough. With over 300 unique sandwiches on the menu, there's a sandwich for everyone. My favorites have been the Menage A Trois (halal chicken, honey mustard, BBQ Sauce, real honey, pepper jack, swiss, cheddar), Ike's Reuben (pastrami, mack Sauce, purple slaw, gouda), Joker (all beef meatballs, fried zucchini, Ike's red pesto, ranch), and Grant Pinkerton, a Houston exclusive (Pinkerton Brisket, pastrami, BBQ aioli, provolone). All of my sandwiches have been stuffed and tasty, worth it! However, I find some menu items to be subpar in quality and flavor (chicken strips). The service is typically quick, efficient, and friendly. There are more than a handful of tables inside and some out on the patio. The shared parking lot can get very crowded as it is packed with lots of other businesses.

The sandwiches have been fresh and really tasty, and the customer service has been solid. I also spoke with Jose, and he mentioned he's been working hard to turn things around, and it definitely shows. Not sure why they don't have more locations yet, but I hope they expand soon!
