Great food and ambiance. Service was a bit hard to understand since it was loud inside. If you enjoy a good greasy east coast sandwich, place for you. We had the fries, hot beef, and grinder. Fries and grinder were very good. Do not recommend the hot beef, roast beef used in it was very chewy and made the sandwich unenjoyable. read more

One word Amazing!! Best Hoagie ever!! I got the Philly Cheesesteak, The Tatstrami, Chili, Clam Chowder and Cole Slaw. We shared it between 6 people. It was plenty of food and the taste did not disappoint on anything. Can't wait to order from here again!! Thanks for a great experience!! read more

Amazing. Best Roast Pork on the west coast. The cold cut Italian is fantastic and we get this to go once a week. Best sandwiches in Seattle read more

Great sandwich. Expensive but very tasty. At $20 for a foot long, this isn't your everyday deli. My husband and I shared and it was plenty. We went we their version of a Pastrami sandwich. Delicious but messy sandwich. Seemed a popular location. read more

If you want approximately a pound of meat on your cheesesteak then you've come to the right place. The subs are either 8 or 12" and I really underestimated how filling the footlong was. The order came out reasonably fast, but the most disappointing aspect was that the meat definitely needed more salt/flavor. You'll also need a good supply of napkins as the grease really makes everything soggy and messy to eat. This places definitely gets props for their east coast vibe (coming from a native NY'er) as their menu really reminds me of home. Execution of my order simply could've been better. Side note that we all already know, the surrounding area of Pioneer Square really is a dump. read more

Wow, this place was awesome. I got the Tatstrami, which was unreal good. Super soft bread, perfectly seasoned, definitely would recommend. It was quite busy when we went for lunch, so would advise ordering for pickup. read more

Went here for lunch, super busy but also very efficient. They did mess up my order slightly but it was corrected very quickly! Love their selection but it can be overwhelming for a first timer. I got the tats Italian, it was large portions and very filling. I only ate half of my 8" sub. Would go again for lunch! read more

The food is delicious and fast passes. The customer service was awesome! They helped me decide what to order and the energy is terrific. The atmosphere gives you downtown inner city vibe which I love, and they are fast. Even though this place is packed and very busy, they are consistently staying in tempo and they treat is each customer with enough time regardless of how busy they get. read more

Great nw facsimile of an east coast sandwich shop. My eggplant parm sub was a thing of beauty, even if it needed more sauce. I don't live in Seattle but if I did I'd be obsessed about eating here. read more

Heads up! Yelp lists Tat's closing at 6 PM on Fridays, but as of the date of this review, they actually close at 3 PM. We got there at 2:58 PM fully expecting to be turned away, but the staff were more than happy to allow us to order. As for our order, we got a 12" philly with provolone and onions and an 8" chicken philly with provolone, mushrooms, onions, and sweet peppers. I'm sure both sandwiches would have been great fresh, but because we had a long walk home, they understandably got a bit soggy. We ended up sticking them in the air fryer for a few minutes and OMG! 100/10 would recommend. read more

The ultimate east coast style grinders/subs/hoagies in Seattle. You will crave this place. I go for the cheesesteaks - definitely in my top 3 for cheesesteaks in Seattle. I might be wrong about this but it seems like they've started shaving their steak even thinner for the cheesesteak which is an improvement that I love. My boyfriend loves the Italian hoagie. The bread they use is spot on, exactly what you want in an east coast style sub. DROOL read more

Tat's Delicatessen - Beef Cheesesteak with sweet peppers, grilled onions, American cheese, and mayo - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The food was advertised as "East Coast deli" but it was very disappointing. The rye bread was marbled rye, tasteless and old. The pastrami didn't have any structure to pastrami that I know of, just thinly pieces of so-called meat. The brown mustard was excessive, probably an attempt to mask the taste. The only redeeming factor to the $20 sandwich was the kosher pickle and cold slaw. Sorry. I liked the atmosphere and happy people eating hoagie sandwiches. Maybe their choices were better? Friendly service. read more

Hadn't been in years ordered the Tats-trami. Got home to my surprise it was the wrong sandwich. I called and rcvd the so much grief as if I was lying. I told him I only work on the wknds in Seattle and live an hour away I couldn't just come right back. Instead of taking responsibility for the mistake & apologizing he gave me so much grief. Order #receipt # what time did I order can I bring it back next wknd so they can see it. He literally asked me to save the sandwich in my fridge for a week! I was so disappointed in the customer service as if I was lying! The man on the phone even refused to provide me is name. All I can say I will never be back! Check your order because they don't give a damn and apparently they are perfect ppl who don't make mistakes! Mind you I had just worked a 12 hours shift at the hospital imagine my unhappiness! I threw the whole 8inch white turkey meat sub away! I even provided a tip for this to go order! read more

So their phily cheese steak is ok but their tats pastrami was soooooo good that I almost forgot to take a picture of it, only half of it was left. Haven't had anything like it anywhere! I've had plenty of cheese steaks and it isn't the best at tats but they defintiely do better in other areas. The cashier was super nice we ordered close to closing time and it was nice that they let us finish our food and not kick us out right away. Everyone was super nice. The cooks kept making jokes and laughing in the back, it was such a nice warm place to be. read more

Best subs is Seattle!!! I went in recently and received the wrong order, which happens everywhere. Took a picture of it with the receipt and brought it in, they made me my favorite sammy (tats-strami tats way) and made sure it was exactly how I wanted it, without hesitation. They are the best!! Not to mention the vibe in their, exactly what you want in a deli. read more

This deli is located in the Pioneer Square neighborhood. This is clearly a place that locals frequent for large East Coast style sandwiches. I had the cheesesteak with wiz and with onions. You have the option of either getting an 8 inch or 12 inch. I ordered the 8 inch and only ate half, which my husband was happy to finish is a late night snack the fries are battered, so if you are a fry purist, you might not like that, the buffalo wings were very tasty and available either mild or hot. I typically get medium and was advised to get the mild. The mild was definitely of a normal medium heat and very flavorful. If you need to take home container for your leftover sandwich, you're going to get a piece of deli paper and a brown paper bag, which is not only easier to carry but more environmentally friendly, great local place with a nice casual vibe. read more

Tat's Delicatessen - Beef Cheesesteak whiz and with onions - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had the Tatstrami (pastrami with Cole slaw and sauce), Philly cheesesteak, and Italian sub. The pastrami meat flavor was better than I expected. Next time I will get a plain pastrami sandwich because the flavor of the sauce - which was quite good - masked the excellent flavor of the meat. Judging from the sandwiches I observed on the tables of patrons, the Philly was very popular. It didn't disappoint. Better than expected - and I've had real Phillies from the East Coast. Italian sausage wasn't bad either. Recommended. read more

Only ordered delivery from them but each time I have enjoyed their food. My favorite is their old bay seasoning fries!

Sooooo freaking gooood It was indeed the most authentic New York style sandwich I love it soo much They have a food truck as well other than the store the website will post their time and schedule for the truck, it was not sooo Italian and really American style sandwich which I really like Will come back again read more

This is a COVID-era review. I placed an order for takeout on a weekday morning. There was no wait! During COVID, they do not accept cash so you gotta use a card with a chip. Got the Tatstrami and it was really good! However, I do have to say I liked Kat's (NYC) and Langer's (LA) more. I still appreciate the flavors of Tat's Parking is really easy around the pioneer square area. Street parking and some spots allow you to park for food pick up. Not sure about the wait since I haven't been here on a weekend. But I would come here again for a deli fix if I'm back in Seattle! read more

This is the real deal, I worked in Philly for years and have had cheesteaks everywhere, I put Tats up there with the best of them. In addition, they are very generous with the meat, cheese, peppers etc and the bread is perfect! read more

After all the hype I heard about Tat's Deli, I feel completley let down. The chicken strips were the worst I ever had. They were so dry I think I saw dust when biting into it. The sandwiches we were "meh" and a little soggy. The Potato Salad was tasty and better than most. But over all its just "meh" and not all they are said to be. read more

Is the hype real? Other Yelpers seem to think so. It's not my favorite sandwich shop, but they're pretty dang good. I would recommend the Tatstrami of course, and the Bacon Chicken Ranch (a hidden gem that doesn't get enough recognition!) I think the others I've had (Turkey Club & the Philly Cheesesteak) were just okay. For always being so busy, they get the food out fast. The staff is also stellar! read more

Tat's Delicatessen - Chicken Bacon Ranch is my FAVORITE - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

People who know me, know that I'm not a big cheese guy. So I went to a local restaurant that had been highly recommended by a friend for the pastrami. I ordered a sandwich and decided to take it to go and eat it somewhere else. I sat down about 20 minutes later and found the sandwich covered in cheese. I didn't ask for cheese, cheese was not on the menu and yet they seem to think that that's exactly what I wanted. For that alone I'm going to call this a little bit of a fail! read more

I am not sure what has changed but it has and not for the good. We have been looking forward to the first Seahawks game and the game day tradition of going to Tats first. The always fantastic Tatsrami was not close to how good it usually is and the Chile cheese fries were pathetic, soggy with a little Chile and cheeses sauce. Even the service was not close to what it used to be. I am hoping it was just a bad day I appreciate the responses from the owner and staff. I am glad to see that it was probably just a bad day read more

Highly recommend their Philly cheese steak, delish! We visited their food truck when it was on Mercer Island for a summer program, will try the downtown location soon. read more

Great food and fast!! So much food! The 12" Philly is massive!! My kids usually crush a 12" but couldn't finish these! read more

I had the chicken salad and potato salad. Potato salad was terrible. I describe it as a cold baked potato. I'm from Texas, so maybe that's why. The chicken salad was also really blan. The bread was hard so it tore up the top of my mouth and was really hard to eat. The fries were good and it's ALOT of food. To me, price doesn't match the flavor though. read more

Greatly Philly wit cheez & wit onions. Decent sizes, long line but worth it, prices are slightly high. Ambiance can be very loud couldn't hold a conversation without being 1in apart or screaming! read more

What could improve: FLAVOR . The ambience was fine; very casual. Fast service; but flavor was especially lacking in the pastrami. read more

Start to finish, this was an awesome experience. I'd heard about this place for so long, and as a self-proclaimed sandwich aficionado, I knew a cheese steak from Tat's was inevitable. From all the hype, I knew I was in for a long line, so I went a little early and got there around 11:30. The line was to the door, but not outside yet but was shortly after. They have an efficient system and posters on the wall all but ensuring you won't mess up your order. The person at the register was super friendly, and the whole place has a really charming vibe, with orders called out over the loud speaker. Very cute. I wouldn't mind sitting and having a beer and splitting a sandwich with someone for the full ambiance. I got an 8 inch cheese steak with American and all the fixin's and it was absolutely perfect. I've had the real deal in Philly before, and this was right on point. The meat was tasty and thinly sliced. The cheese was gooey and just enough to be present but not totally take over. The mushrooms, onions, and hot/sweet/fried peppers were perfect as well. All a symphony! But, a sandwich is won or lost by its bread, if you ask me. And this was also spot-on, exactly what you'd find them on in Philadelphia. Tat's, I'll be back for your other sandos if I can ever turn down another cheese steak. read more

Outstanding cheesesteak sandwich. Went with several friends and the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back. read more

Um. Wow. This was an incredible experience. While I was waiting for my order, there was a steady stream of patrons coming in, like there was a revolving door. Good sign I thought. For my inaugural Tat's experience, I opted to go with the 12" Tat'strami to share with my husband and holy shnikey...that is one delicious sandwich. The meat was tender, the coleslaw complemented things perfectly, and the bread was soft and chewy... hold on....let me wipe off my drool. Okay...I'm back. Did I mention the side of fries? They were even better than the sandwich, and this was after driving them home in the bag and not eating them until 15 minutes later. I can only imagine what they're like fresh out the fryer, in restaurant. This should t be any surprise, but I'll definitely be back, and I'm bringing my appetite with me. Next up, cheesesteak! read more

Amazing Philly cheese steak...Nice environment... Great employees... Everything is fresh cooked to order... The menu has a lot of variety... On a scale of one to ten I give it a 20... I always recommend this place to all my friends and family... read more

I know it's a battle between Tat's and Calozzi's for the Seattle cheesesteak throne. I love both, and I won't pick a horse in the cheesesteak race today, but Tat's is an easy victor for sandwiches in general due to the enormous portions and variety of offerings. They do it right here: fresh ingredients, a million ways to customize your order, and some of the best pastrami in the city. And don't sleep on the Old Bay fries. read more

This place is a must if you come to Seattle. They make a mean breakfast sandwich in addition to the tradition cheesesteak. The service is always good and the staff are very friendly. I go here at least once a week. read more

Okay, so this place has the most amazing sandwiches and now I go every weekend. You seriously won't find a better place for them. My favorite is Tat'strami or the Reuben. read more

Tat's is super bomb! Like bomb, bomb, BOMB! I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. I've been twice and loved it both times! Their sandwiches are HUGE, fully loaded, perfect bread and just oh soooo yummy! I tried their philly with whiz and their tat'strami. Both are soooo good! If I go back, I wouldn't know which one to order honestly! I would have to order both and share so I can have the best of both! The first time I came, we ordered in. There is quite a bit of seating inside and it was packed! The second time was during Covid. We ordered online (I think only online orders) and they had great no contact pickup. You pull into the alley right by their shop, they have a side door and someone gives you your food. Super fast and easy! Although it would be very hard not to order one of the sandwiches above, I really want to try one of their breakfast sandwiches next! Go to Tat's y'all! I want to go now as I type this! read more

Tasty Lunch Spot in Downtown Seattle! Best Cheesesteaks in town! This place is wonderful! I have been here a few times during lunch, and each time I have been quite pleased with the sandwiches this place turns out! It may not look like much from the outside, but once you open the door, you'll see a line of people waiting to get their hands on the awesome sandwiches this place cranks out! They offer a variety of sandwiches, hot and cold, along with salads, fries, and other sides. My personal favorite is simply the cheesesteak! It is hands down the best one in Seattle and I do not say that lightly. You can choose which cheese, grilled veggies, and other options to put on it. Even during peak lunch hour, the turnaround time is quite quick! All of the staff is always friendly and kind. In addition to the sandwiches, some other notable mentions include getting the delicious fries! They have a great flavor to them, and they pair well with the tat's spicy steak sauce. That sauce also goes well with most of their sandwiches and is worth a try! If you have yet to try this place, give it a run, and you surely will not be disappointed! Cheers! read more
