Saw a commercial for Katz Deli and that they never close. I have been looking for a really good deli much like those I had visited in other states and Katz's sounded like they had some promise. My wife and I stopped in for a bite to eat after a service in the Woodlands on Sunday morning. After perusing their menu which was quite extensive, we decided to split a Klassic Ruben with Sauerkraut and Corned Beef on Rye. Wow! We were so delighted with our meal! This Ruben was just dripping with deliciousness. Just as good as we would have gotten in Palm Springs, Hollywood or New York. And the fries were nothing to sneeze at either. Hot, fresh and crispy. Just how I like them. Coupled with our Long Island Express and Beringer Red Sangria, we were two very happy dinners. The service at Katz's was just as good as the food. Brian was prompt and extremely professional. We did return a week later and both enjoyed a meal a half pastrami and corned beef and my wife a Philly Cheesesteak both with Tomato Basil soup. Again, another outstanding meal. There were so many delicious items to choose from on their menu we can't wait to return to try their breakfast selection, their dinner/main features and some of their fabulous looking deserts. Katz Deli looks to us to be a Jewish style deli with a touch of Texas/Southern/Cajun flavor. Katz is a small chain in the Houston area and I tend to avoid chain restaurants, but Katz Deli got it right and we are eagerly awaiting our next visit. read more

Stopped by Katz's for a late-night bite and was pleasantly surprised by how lively it was. Even late, the place was filling up, but our waitress stayed on top of everything. We ordered the banana pancakes (about 3 for $9, which is a great deal), corned beef hash and eggs with a bagel and cream cheese -- some of the best I've had at a breakfast spot, and a brisket bowl (not pictured). Everything came out quickly and hit the spot for a late-night meal. Late-night bites for Easter are a tradition for us, and Katz's ended up being such a great surprise. Definitely a place I'd come back to more often. read more

Staff were warm and friendly, and super helpful answering my various questions. Waitresses Jasmine and Presley took great care of me :-), and Samantha at the front was very kind and thoughtful. I'm feeling nostalgic about missing my mother's food, and so had to order it when I saw they had a cabbage roll appetizer. One of those oldie but goodie foods that your mother and grandmother knew how to make, but most of us lost the recipe. There is a slight hint of sweetness in it that's quite appealing, it's different than my mother's version, but I thought it was really excellent!! Will order that again. I don't normally wax poetic about a pickle, but the one they put on my Reuben sandwich plate is worth an ode. I asked them to make the Reuben with pastrami instead of corned beef, and add extra Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. Bib up, it'll drip juices but that's a good thing. Anyway, the pickle on that plate was a three bears story - not too strong, not too bland, but absolutely perfect. I was in a traditionalist mood and so I ordered blintzes for dessert with blueberry sauce. This is my first time eating here, the food was really great, and the staff was warm and wonderful. And you know, the coffee tasted really fresh and was delicious as well! Next time I will order the cabbage rolls again, definitely the blitzes for dessert, and then I'll have to try something else off the menu. Voyage of discovery. Definitely coming back soon! read more

I was hoping for half a sandwich and soup. But it's specified times which I fill is not customer friendly. I ended up ordering the bowl of matzo ball soup. I was disappointed! Way too salty and not enough broth for the abundance of noodles - plus the matzo balls were heavy instead of light as I'm used too. Not sure I'll comeback when I visit Houston again. read more

Stopped in on the way to work last minute to grab a quick bite. Presently surprised by the vast selection of items. We were quickly served drinks and I decided to order the Texas Brisket Benedict and a fruit plate. In no time out food was served. Food was fantastic and we even got a visit from the general manager to ensure we were satisfied with the service and the quality of food. Fantastic place that will definitely be visited again. Give it a shot! read more

Ordered online. Took way longer than they advertised very simple order. Wife didn't get what she ordered. My sandwich should have been warm was cold. Staff were more interested in doing other things. Manager walking around and not seeing to things. I would have let it pass but this isn't the first time we've received poor service. Not sure they could make things right again. read more

3.5 The food was good, I had a sandwich with a side of fries, everyone else got breakfast but they had the avocado toast which was good, salmon with eggs and a scramble. The food is a bit on the higher end but it's good. The waitress was sweet. The only reason I didn't put 4 stars was because the wait was extremely long. There was literally one other table there and after ordering, the food took about 20 minutes to come out. I guess that could be a sign that it was fresh but at the same time, the waitress didn't come around to check on us much during that time. It was an awkward wait. The inside decor was cute and had a nice diner feel. Regardless, I'd probably come back, good variety of stuff to try. read more

GREAT Customer Service is the way to my heart :-) They have customer service down packed! We were cheerfully greeted by the manager and several staff members upon entry. Our waiter quickly approached our table and took our drink order. James was attentive and prompt throughout the entire time we were there. Several other staff members checked on us as well! Thanks for caring! It does not go unnoticed! I've been here several times as you can see lol. However my meal today hit the spot!! Scrambled eggs with Lox & Onions, I added capers, tomatoes and cream cheese. DELISH!!! The potato pancakes were crispy on the outside but moist on the inside, which made for the perfect bite!! Restaurant was clean including the bathroom. Tables were cleared in a timely manner as well. No complaints! :-) read more

We followed in a family leaving the restaurant and the hostess turned her back on us and shut the door, then went to their table at the front and started cleaning it as we waited at the hostess station. A server and manager came over saying she'd be with us soon. NP- a little odd, as it was pretty obvious she'd seen us but nbd, we'd really wanted to try this place after living here so long. She didn't get any friendlier. Server came out right away, we ordered our drinks and food quick since we hadn't eaten yet for the day and it was past noon. I e got our app, then the main course before he returned and we needed refills and a change of drinks. Bottom line- food was good, service terrible. The manager came over in between while we needed drinks thinking we'd say everything was great but we mentioned we needed drinks with our meal. Great interior! read more

Came in for a pastrami sandwich take out. Food is good. But billing practices are just crapola. Which is why I'm only giving it 2 stars. They surcharge credit cards on take out as well as dine in. So I decided to pay in cash this time. Apparently there's an automatic gratuity on all "to go" orders. Fine but I wish they'd be more transparent about it because when I ordered there weren't any menus at the to go kiosk which is where I suspect they add the small print. And there are no signs about the automatic gratuity either at the to-go kiosk. To add to the lack of transparency, when I asked about the total amount that they said I would owe for the sandwich, I asked what that total includes, like does it include the credit card charge for example. They said it's only for the sandwich and tax. They didn't mention the automatic take out gratuity which was also on the bill I received, but only after I paid it. It's the same deal when you pay at the table. I asked what the subtotal was and they didn't show me. Asked again, didn't show me. So it was hard for me to determine if their calculation of the tip includes tip on the tax. The other thing is that they don't give any change in coins when paying by cash. Is that even legal? No discussion had. They just either assume you don't want it or just don't give it. So I guess that's like an additional mandatory tip on top of the other mandatory tip. They were actually struggling to scrounge up enough bills to give me back as change as it stood. So apparently coins were just out of the question. I'm guessing most people don't pay in cash but instead just bite the bullet and pay their pass through credit card surcharge. Frustrating for the rest of us trying to pinch pennies. It took 25 minutes to get our sandwich. It was just pastrami meat on untoasted rye. No condiments or anything. About as simple as could be. Yet 25 minutes. I get they're busy but still. I used to frequent Katz's every Saturday. But I just can't see myself coming back again. Lots of deli places in town that don't do this kind of stuff. read more

We got in late to the woodlands area and all the restaurants except this one were closed. The service was very friendly as we placed a to go order so we could just eat quickly in our hotel and go to bed. The food came out quickly and the order was correct. I really did not find my food to be very good at all. I ordered jalapeño poppers and potato skins. Neither one tasted freshly made in any way. Almost seemed as if they were made in the morning for the day and then warmed up in a microwave when I ordered late at night. Very disappointed in my food! read more

Its been a while that we haven't been on this location, the food is still good especially the matzo ball soup and Reuben sandwich. The people are still friendly. The only complaint i gave is our server is always missing. I saw a few people standing around and just talking. The food is still good thats why i still recommending it. read more

I don't know why it took us three years to finally try this place but very glad we did. I've read recent reviews about how the service was pretty bad so I felt I needed to write this stating our experience of the exact opposite. Our server was Amanda, and she was awesome! We had a few questions about menu items and Amanda was more than willing to explain anything to us and gave us some recommendations. When our food came out, it was a good amount of food and everything was delicious. Amanda was extremely attentive and nice the entire time and is a big reason that we will definitely be coming back here again soon. Thank you! read more

Food great Service great I would definitely go back. Not sure why the reviews are low read more

I've been eating here for about 14 years and over the years this place keeps getting better. Their tasty food and friendly service is consistent. I've never had a problem with anything I've ever ordered. I really enjoy the fact that they're open 24/7. When hungry after midnight, it's reliable for what ever is desired. read more

Growing up in Maryland, I went to Katz when I was little. I don't mind paying good money even if the food is a little expensive if the food is good and the service is good. My wife got a turkey sandwich and it was dry and terrible and way overpriced. I ordered the Reuben giant and the meat was kind of dry. I can't believe they wanna call themselves KATZ and their food quality is not that great. Trying to get a waitress to come help me I had to take my class to get a refill. I remember growing up. It was all the pickles you could eat and coleslaw and trying to get a refill was almost impossible. This company has definitely gone downhill. Go to Jason's deli it's a lot better. They're just not open at night. read more

I ordered this to our hotel: The driver had to wait for my order a long time. The food quality? My Chicken and Waffles were mid (soggy waffle) and the Chilaquiles? They didn't have the crème pictured and they didn't have the salsa and the chilaquiles were $18! Btw it was just chips, no refried beans: In this economy?? Uber Eats refunded $2 for the missing sauces. I deleted my Uber account. read more

Katz's - Chilaquiles - Delis Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Ambiance: Upscale diner that's open 24/7 and perfect for curbing literally any craving at any time of the day! What I like about Katz's is that they've put a "fancy" twist on a classic diner. It's a nice ambiance & in my experience always quite clean. The menu is large & expansive - with options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or desserts/snacks. My husband works a later evening shift so I love that Katz's is an option for a late night date night! It's also the perfect post-evening spot for a quick bite or curing a hangover. Great breakfast spot for families, fun place for hanging with friends, and also ideal for dining alone. Parking onsite. Lots of seating options. Busier at certain times of the day. A bit pricey for diner food but I feel that the quality and ambiance is worth it! Highly recommend the succotash veggies! read more

Holy Mary!!! Before this trip to Katz's, I didn't know you could pair Holy with a Bloody Mary...but here you can!!! Service & Food are both excellent. This is my second time here. Chilaquiles - YES - add beef fajita This time with my hubs I got the chilaquiles-add beef fajita!!! I did my eggs poached. Perfect!!! Avocado toast - Yes - spicy if you can handle it. Fresh sliced jalapeño on top. Better yet, get both and mix them together. Perfect combo to share. Large portions. The fresh fruit with light yogurt sauce and nut crumbles was also very nice. Phil was our server. Detail oriented and friendly. He was on it. Both managers checked on us. Drew and other lady were very pleasant and professional. Side note - OPEN 24 HOURS!!! I discovered this place when my mom had emergency surgery at a near by hospital. I was starving in the middle of the night. The food was spectacular with a meat stuffed cabbage and some kind of meatball soup. Both were so darn good!! So much flavor!!! read more

What a freaking ripoff. Sunday 11-1-25. 4:45 pm-5:45 pm. Not more than 3 tables occupied at once. Ordered an $18 sandwich to split with spouse. Took 30 minutes. Spouse ordered drink when she placed order. Had to reorder when food arrived and asked for extra plate. Manager came by wanting to know how everything was. I mentioned above and mentioned I thought the sandwich could at least have come with chips. Oh no, everything is ala cart. What a lousy experience. Never going back. Dirty floors. read more

Food is great and our waitress December even though she was new was wonderful. Stopped here after midnight because we had endured a horrible day of flying and had no food all day. December made us feel welcome and brought us pickles and warm chips to snack on until our orders came. After a wonderful bowl of matza ball soup and a yummy corned beef on rye, I felt like a person again. It is a life saver that they are open 24/7 but they are great any time day or night. read more

Our food got bussed away while I was in the bathroom with my young son. That threw off my son and he refused to eat after that. Told the manager that and she simply asked if we wanted a to-go box. The waitress never even acknowledged what happened. Full price with a straight face after that. Beware read more

12.24.25 Never tried this location before and we have not been to Katz's in about 15 years. They never close so we decided to give them a try on Christmas. First, we got the very last table available. They were very busy. I read a few reviews before going there and some people were saying the table chairs were uncomfortable. I would suggest to sit in a booth or wait for one. Your bum will thank you! We ordered cheese crisp for an appetizer. They were very tasty. Perfect amount to share. Would order again! I ordered chicken fried chicken and it comes with mashed potatoes and country gravy (had them put on the side) I did not like the gravy; it had a burnt taste to it. I ate the CFC without the gravy and it was good. Mashed potatoes were a little boring. Needed salt and pepper. Would I order this again....maybe. It was good but not great. Hubby ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were homemade and he said they were very good. I tried his garlic bread and it was great. I ordered some for my meal. We both had house salads without tomatoes. It was a spring mix...too much arugula for us. One thing I did not like - we were serviced our salads and not even 30 seconds went by and there was our entrees. (Minus 1 star) Our server was not great but not bad either. Just in between. It was Christmas so we just went with the flow. Overall our experience here was just like the rest of the review...not great but not bad either. For 1 water,1 tea, cheese crisp, Spaghetti & meatballs, CFC and 2 salads we were $88 before tip. read more

Just left this location. Got a to go order. And I think his name is Nathan. I'm unsure. Kid with curly hair. They had me waiting over 25 min for a frozen marg and I kindly asked if it was still coming, since he was the one who took my order and he, in a mean way said "I'm not the bartender go over there" In a rude tone after telling me to wait where I was standing originally. Bad way to speak to your customers who was just kindly asking a question. read more

The service was horrible!!! Needed more staff. The food was good and our server was really nice. They need late night help. It took very long for our food to be served. We have orde street tacos and French toast. When it came to the tabel it was cold. They asked if we needed anything and I told them shredded cheese and sour cream. We waited 20 more minutes!!! They apologized and comped the tacos. We left irritated because we took our food to go because of the wait and it was cold any way. read more

I'm sorry to say, this Katz's doesn't come close to the "real one" in New York City. Nice atmosphere, but it's not the same. I can only compare the matzo ball soup and the corned beef sandwich against the original. I also sampled some of the pot roast sandwich. Corned beef was about the same as Boar's Head deli meat. Good, not great. Was it made in-house? I don't know. Next time I'll try the pastrami and hope they make it in the restaurant. Matzo Ball soup was excellent and spared this review one less star. Balls were fluffy and the broth had a nice flavor and kick to it. The pot roast was ok. Not great but good. Service was good from our waiter and other staff that helped bring out the order. I'll give it one more shot next time we're in town, otherwise there are so many other places to get meat close by. read more

Let me start off by the food is amazing. Props to the cooks. However the service is trash. The server didn't smile all, very confrontational when we asked for things and had us pay the bill before we even got the desserts. The manager did stop by the table but not too long after she was gossiping right behind us about a server. Absolutely wild. read more

The mediocrity was almost unbearable. The staff were great but the food left everything to be desired. Also it took forever to get our food. Won't be back so many other better options read more

Went to this restaurant at 2:35 pm, 03/02/2026. We were immediately seated by an employee. That was the last person we saw. We were totally ignored by the entire wait staff. After 15 minutes, we left the restaurant and went to another restaurant nearby. Appears Katz's is always open, but not ready for business. Wait staff was gathered up behind a screen and would occasionally visit an occupied table, but not mine. We have been to your Montrose location several times and enjoyed it very much. On the other hand, we cannot recommend your Woodlands location for any reason. We'll do our best spread the word about the Woodlands store. read more

A quick stop at Katz in Shenandoah was just what the doctor ordered! I got a peach tea and the lunch special with a 1/2 Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and a 1/2 order of the sweet potato fries. My other half ordered the Klassic Reuben. Both were delicious!!! The bread tasted fresh, the meat full of flavor and moist. The sweet potato fries are so good!! I think I could eat those all day long! The pickle on the side is always crispy and tasty. The peach tea looks cloudy, but it's actually really good. Not too sweet, so it's perfect without any sugar added. The manager stopped by to check on us twice, which is always nice. Our waiter, Phillip was very attentive and stayed on top of things for us since we were in a bit of a hurry. Bathrooms...clean, but nothing fancy. Thank you Katz's! You did a great job this visit! read more

Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of NYC decor and food to make you miss being there. Sandwiches a bit different than being in New York but still decent. I wasn't a fan of the Russian dressing, made the sandwich a bit off for me. Would have liked the bread a bit more toasty and crisp. Will go back to try breakfast at some point. read more

Soooo much money for sandwiches that were less than mediocre. They messed up our order too. At least the servers were nice.

Love this place. They catered my wedding years ago and have been eating here before we were married. Excellent New York deli styled food with a wide range of options. Love the Ruben as they have excellent sour kraut. Staff is friendly and they now have a full bar if that is your thing. Deserts are great as well. According to my wife her desert was really rich. read more

We had never been to a Katz's but had seen their signs about & decided to give them a try for brunch on a Wednesday. From the moment we walked in & asked to be seated, we enjoyed it. Allie, our hostess who became our server,focused on us like we were the only people there, we were not. The menu is extensive. When the food came out, the presentation was great & it was delicious. No extra seasoning needed.Coffee was replenished right on time. Kim, the co-manager, came to check on us as well. Katz's was a wonderful experience after a very trying early morning. read more

Where do you find a meal in the Woodlands after 1am? IHOP, Katz...end of list. In that way Katz is a late night staple (for the Woodlands.) The food is fine. This trip I ordered the "skinny" French dip. The "skinny" options offer a smaller portion size compared to the traditional sandwich. If I'm honest, this was still more than I needed. I wish they offered a half sandwich 24/7. Nevertheless, it's lovely to see breakfast all day, because no matter if it's 10/10 flavor, I'll take a pancake at any time of day! In my many trips, the restaurant remains clean, the service consistent, and the offerings varied. The reason I give this joint 4 stars is that I've yet to be impressed by anything I've tried in my over 10 years tenure. While I hope this changes, I'm sure I'll be back when I'm next up at 2am in search of a pancake or bagel with lox! read more
