    Pastrami dip
    Kaleigh T.

    I ordered the pastrami dip and fries at the drive thru, just before closing. I have been going to The Hat in Orange County for a long time and it has always been fresh and on point. Unfortunately, the pastrami was luke warm and it ruined the sandwich for me. I understand that closing steps and cleaning prep begin before closing, but it shouldn't impact the quality of food. Some things should wait. And that pastrami definitely tasted like it had been sitting out a bit. The fries were decent. And the speaker at the drive thru had a terrible sound, they were so loud, definitely needs some adjustments.

    After waiting a few months we finally went to The Hat! Since opening lines have been crazy long and so glad we waited because we had the whole place to ourselves! No line at the drive thru and no one inside the restaurant! We ordered the Pastrami Sandwich and a small order of fries. Staff is super nice. 2 of them checked on us to see how we were doing. Restaurant was clean. First off, the small fries seemed more like a large! I couldn't get over how much fries were in the bag! They were so good! Nice and crispy. The sandwich was enough to share and the dip was hot and went perfect with the sandwich. It was packed with pastrami and it came with mustard and pickles too. The pastrami was very flavorful and the bread didn't fall apart. I haven't had many pastrami sandwiches so I can't say it's the best but it was pretty good! Would come back again especially for the fries!

    I love pastrami, so when I saw that The Hat was opening up, I was excited!!! But I waited a few months to let the crowds die down first. Drove out and got into the drive thru line, and it moved quickly, that was a big plus for me, cause I hate waiting in lines. Daughter and I each got a pastrami sandwich, I ordered one large Pepsi, and a large fries, to share, that came out to be $38 and some change. We didn't realize how big the sandwiches were and filled with meat, it was amazing, size and taste. Next time we're just gonna share one sandwich. Only because they're HUGE! WIll I go back, yes, most definitely!

    You have to try the pastrami !!! Next level food. The fries with gravy is better than any mashed potatoes at thanksgiving. The roast beef and aujou is amazing. Flavorful like it was from a steakhouse. This isn't fast food. I know it looks like a drive thru but the culture and quality is restaurant. Even if you just get a burger - the quality and taste is old school high end diner taste. The staff is no nonsense !! They are fast too !! The lines went down and you no longer have a wait down the street - so come and try it - and start with the pastrami -

    Pastrami on French roll

    A Saturday afternoon at approximately 2:30 PM. The drive-through line was very long. So we went inside to wait in a seemingly very long line that moved fast. The staff was moving like bees in a hive. All of the tables were full, people either eating or waiting for their food. It was crowded and busy; yet it was very clean and orderly. You can see the staff cleaning tables, sweeping floors, and changing the trash. It was so busy that the cashiers had to pause in between taking orders so the staff could catch up. Very understandable with the long line outside and inside. The manager was even behind the counter expediting. I ordered a pastrami on French roll with extra mustard and a small order of onion rings My food was fresh hot and absolutely delicious. The golden onion rings were photo worthy. The pastrami was so tender, not dry and chewy. Every time I get a pastrami, I keep the meat that has falling out of the sandwich, and I chopped that pastrami meat up the next morning and put it in my eggs. SO GOOD!!!! My favorite foods here are the pastrami, pastrami chili cheeseburger, the tamales with chili, the chili cheese dogs, and of course, the chili cheese fries with pastrami. That was just about everything right??? Needless to say, I highly recommend coming here and it is worth the weight now you will not have to wait long.

    A group of us came in right before the lunch time rush, so we were really lucky to not have had to wait in an extremely long line. It did get crazy busy while we were dining in and the line to the drive thru was intense as we were leaving. The people working here were friendly, no complaints there. I don't think there needs to be a big fuss about this place. I did think the pastrami was good, with great flavor and not too greasy/fatty, but it could have maybe been a bit juicier. The bread got a bit soggy, maybe that's where all the moisture went, but I am the type of person who kind of likes that. The disappointments were in the sides. The fries and onion rings were also a generous portion but kind of lacked flavor. I did like the self serve drinks with the orange bang. I used to exclusively get orange bangs in my childhood Hawaiian diner so this was a nice bit of nostalgia. Overall, I'd come in again but only if there was a short line.

    Peanut is kinda shy but he enjoyed the French fries and fresh air

    We kept driving by this place and kept driving because the lines looked ridiculously long and we were always in a rush. Not today. Today we had plenty of time and there wasn't much of a line so we decided to brave it. Plenty of free parking and a short walk to the venue. Once we entered there was a short line. About 5-6 pp in line only and the line went fast. We wanted a pastrami sandwich that would wow us so I chose pastrami dip sandwich. Hubby chose chili cheese fries. The size of the fries! It was enough to feed 3, maybe 4 people. What I like is the self serve dispensers for the drinks. It allows me to go back and get a refill before I left. The pastrami sandwich was also big. It was enough for 2 people to share for sure. They put lots of shaved pastrami in it that spilled out of the bread. My only disappointment was there weren't any au jus to dip the sandwich into or some kind of sauce. The pastrami was also very thin and a bit dry compared to the best pastrami sandwich I've had in the past. We sat outside on a bench because we brought our dog with us. It was late, past 9pm so it was no longer hot. Peanut enjoyed the French fries I'll be back to try their milkshake and other menu item. Still waiting for that wow lol

    I have been a big fan of The Hat for years. We stop by the California locations at least 1x a year. We thought we'd wait for a bit to try this one as it always looks so busy. There was definitely a long line in the drive-thru but inside we were quickly able to order. The wait for the order to be received was maybe 5 min. I don't know but it didn't taste the same somehow. I felt like the fries were a little too stiff like maybe they weren't cooked all the way through. And the pastrami itself tasted different from the Cali locations. I might be being crazy but we'll be stopping next time we're in Cali to verify.

    Drive-thru or eat inside, either way, it is worth the wait!! The Pastrami sandwich is a 13/10. The Onion rings with gravy are a 13/10. Service & ambiance are always a 10! Restroom is clean They even have a cute merch tshirt for under $20!

    I finally got around to checking out the hype. I live close by so always knew about the hype was coming from LA. The day it open like OMG line out the door and drive thru. Insane. It still is but not as bad if walk in (drive thru the same always long line). Total luck. Literally walked in and straight to cashier place my order. NOT normal. Five minutes later line almost out the door. I ended up getting the pastrami dip because known for so first time order. I also got wet gravy fries. The pastrami is for real LEGIT. It moist, tasty, and could have just bowl of pastrami be happy. Talk about loaded. One sandwich is huge. I barely put dent in the fries cause was full. The bread sandwich's was on point. Whole sandwich was amazing. The brown gravy fries was tasty. The gravy had great flavor and nice amount covered the fries. So much more of the menu look forward to checking out. Service was five stars. They have it done amount of employees and efficient!!

    Nothing special. I waited a bit to let the crowds die down. Arrived at 10 and went inside. If you have even been to Ted's Hotdogs in Buffalo, NY, the vibe and look is very similar. The only person on the staff that ack anyone was the guy holding the door open who I think was the manager. The food was uneventful. I ordered the turkey on the French roll, no mayo and add pickles. There was zero flavor. No seasoning at all. The bread was flavorless as well. I added spread when I got home and threw it in the air fryer and still bland. Try onion rings were ok, no dipping sauce, just ketchup packets. The potato salad was the best thing. I ordered just a side of pastrami for my husband since he doesn't eat bread and he thought it was good. Way too many other options in town. Prices were good.

    This place is awesome. If you're in LV, take time from the strip and head over. It's crowded but the line moves fast. HUGE portions and tastes great.

    I waited a total of 20 minutes from ordering until I got my food and was pleasantly surprised. I'm so glad I waited until the hype died down before I tried to even attempt to get in line. We ordered the pastrami melt, the chili, and two pastrami dips. The pastrami dips were good. I thought the pastrami had a good flavor and wasn't too salty. The chili was meat chili with no beans and was just okay to me- not my favorite. However, the star of the show for me was the pastrami melt. It had a great flavor and the cheese was not too overpowering. The bread was nice and crispy like a good grilled cheese sandwich. I will definitely be getting that again. The only thing I would change is the slices of the pastrami. They seemed super small and shredded almost. I would prefer a larger slice. I didn't realize the menu was so big and I will definitely be trying other items when I go back!

    Ask the Community - The Hat

    Can one order ahead of time for pick up?

    Sadly no. It's also not on any of the dashers if you want it you gotta wait in line. Meritocracy lol

    Is there a long wait for seating?

    15 to 20min

    Are they officially open now.?

    Today is their grand opening day! May 6th 2026

    Is this the same kind of Pastrami you'd get in a Jewish Deli?

    I don't believe so. It's a sub roll with thinly sliced pastrami with pickle and mustard. You can get it dipped or dry.

    Any new opening date set?

    May 6th - grand opening day :)

    Is there an updated opening date?

    I got an email on The Hat's mailing list stating the grand opening is May 6, 10:00 am - 1:00 am.

    Have they opened yet?

    No, not yet. Still under construction.

    Is the Las Vegas Location open?

    I don't believe so. On their website they say they expect to open sometime this spring and spring isn't till the end of March so that means End of March or latter.

    All'Antico Vinaio has been on my lists for a while, so I was glad that I finally got to come here!…read more I came right at opening, and was second in line. Since this was my one and only chance (I think) to try this spot, me and a friend decided to split our sandwiches to try more than just one. We settled on L'INFERNO and the LA DISTRICT. The former has: porchetta, nduja, spicy eggplant, spicy zucchini, arugula -- while the latter has pancetta, pecorino cream, sun dried tomato, arugula. I had to hop on a plane for a few hours, so I wanted to pack the sandwiches for a later time -- but I had to try them FRESH. Oh boy. These sandwiches were an absolute EXPERIENCE -- the bread (which is schiacciata) was warm, pillowy, with the most amazing crust. The porchetta on the L'INFERNO was so tender and full of flavor paired with the nduja. The LA DISTRICT was a nice calm contrast, instead of strong flavors, all the elements worked as one -- and that pecorino cream was an absolute masterpiece. After I arrived, the line behind me quietly filled up quickly (it was the 10:35 AM)! As with most locations, come early if you don't want to wait. I did eat the rest of the sandwiches about 3 hrs. later but it got duller the longer it sat (as expected). It was still good though! I repeat: I was a bit skeptical because of the virality of this slot, but at lease at the UNCOMMONS, location, the hype is indeed real. Place was immaculate, service was as expected, and sandwiches were knocked out of the park!

    I'm a sandwich fan and this place has taken sandwiches to a new level…read more La Paradiso was amazing. Best mortadella I've ever had. And the freshly baked focaccia like bread makes the sandwich so much better. The bread is actually schiacciata, a traditional Tuscan flatbread.

    Hi all! I'm back with another review for Picanha…read more I have visited Picanha a great amount of time over the years. Service is consistent and so is the food quality. I love that they offer a casual dine-in experience. My favorite thing on the menu continues to be the Picanha plate platter. I recently went with a friend who tried the chicken sandwich and I tried the queso tacos. He said the chicken sandwich was delicious. The queso tacos were good but I would have liked the meat in smaller pieces inside the taco. Not a big deal though. I also ordered a side of fries. Huge fan of their fries and their green creamy, side sauce. I'll continue to come by. I love it here!

    My husband and I hit this spot with some relatives for some good eats and were not disappointed…read more We were greeted and sat immediately with offers for drinks in a decent amount of time. Plenty of parking in the lot and not overly loud or anything. The menu looked good online and in person and we opted for different dishes to share: Picahna plate, sausage, garden salad, macaroni salad, pork belly, fried yucca, garlic muashrooms along with some chimichurri sauce. It was all so delicious! The steak came out and it was massive a massive portion that we got to split among 5 people. The yucca was nice ans crispy and tasty (a couple of the guys hadn't had it before and are now fans). The pork belly was tender and juicy, while the salad wasn't overly saturated with dressing. The steak was all so tender and flavorful, without having too much added to it. The mac salad was also pretty good, along with the veggies. I honestly didn't taste a bad thing among the choices! I was honesty impressed with the restaurant. Even though it is a bit small on the inside, the service was pretty good and they kept the refills flowing. They also made sure to check on us in a timely manner. I would definitely return to this spot in the future. Shout out to the staff to keep our hungry bellies full! Solid 4.5 stars.
