So, I visited The Hat, I was satisfied but not necessarily wowed. The wait on its third day open was as expected, about a one hour wait in line. The restaurant was quite busy, the Pastrami was good, the reg fries were ok but not super satisfying, sort of bland. The Pastrami Chili Cheese Fries was huge, it could feed a family of 4 lol. The interior of the restaurant was nice, there was a neon sign and other pleasant visual images. Clean dining and restrooms. I personally won't go out of my way there to have a $13 pastrami sandwich, but if I'm passing by i'd make that stop. If you're in the area, I would definitely say stop and give it a try. The staff were attentive and getting the food after ordering was moderate with a minimal wait time. read more

If it was not for the rude service I would give them 5 stars. So we wait over 2 hours in the car which is what was expected with it being only their 2nd day open. We get to the window and I order 2 pastrami dips but asked for them not to dip it, a fry and drink. No one repeats our order they just advise we will get our total at window. Get to the window and the girl repeats back the order and she does not mention not dipped. So I say they are not dipped correct she looks and say you didn't want them dipped? I said no and I asked for no dip when we ordered them. She says to the guy behind her bring the orders up they don't want them dipped. He looks annoyed and says to us rudely well you're gonna have to wait. Now mind you we waited over 2 hours for food so what is an extra few minutes. The girl starts handing us stuff and she looks uncomfortable. I say to her I can bring up on my dash cam I ordered it not dipped. She was like it's okay. And we only waited like 2 mins for them remake our sandwich. Now for the food it's just as good as California locations. The pastrami has the perfect amount of pepper on it and not fatty. The bread is fresh and soft and holds up to the meat. The portions are generous. read more

The Hat - Pastrami sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The Hat - famous pastrami place has opened its first location in Las Vegas. The inside is very spacious and the parking is very good too. They serve various menu items, but they are well known for their authentic pastrami sandwiches. We had their staples: pastrami sandwich and a pastrami burger, chili cheese fries and everything was delicious. We have indulged in their pastrami burger, chili cheese fries, and the pastrami sandwich - all of which delivered on flavor and size. The PORTIONS HERE ARE INCREDIBLY GENEROUS! The pastrami sandwich was stacked with thick, juicy tender and perfectly seasoned pastrami. You can tell why they're known for it. Messy in the best way possible. The pastrami burger was just as solid fresh, well cooked, and packed with flavor and a lot of pastrami on top of the patty. Simply delicious, and very satisfying. The atmosphere is casual and old school retro vibe , exactly what you'd expect from a longtime California favorite pastrami restaurant . Service was fast and efficient, even when it got crowded , and the staff kept everything moving smoothly. Overall : great comfort food, fast service, and big portions. If you're into classic pastrami, chili fries, or old-school diner vibes, The Hat is a must-visit. It's not fancy, but it's honest, filling, and consistently good - the kind of place you'll keep coming back to. read more

Whenever we are in the Los Angeles area we will usually stop at one of The Hat locations, when we found out one was opening here in Vegas we were excited, and have been anticipating its opening for months as we drove past the construction almost everyday. We decided to go to the grand opening and showed up about one hour before opening, there was about 15-20 cars ahead of us in the drive-thru and what appeared to be 100+ people waiting to walk in. Everything was well organized and they had people guiding the flow of traffic. Props for thinking of that ahead of time and not letting it get chaotic. The food was almost exactly what we were hoping for and expecting. We ordered the pastrami dip, pastrami burger, fries, and orange bang (If you have never had orange bang, it is something you should definitely give a try. It's one of my personal favorite drinks). Everything was good and tasted just like the California locations, there were only two complaints I had, both of the sandwiches were not hot and slightly on the cooler side, and the fries were severely under salted making them very bland. Both of those I can overlook though on account of how busy it was for the grand opening. The service was also good, everyone we had interacted with was very friendly. We will definitely be coming back to get the pastrami chili cheese fries. Thank you for bringing a location to Vegas, a very welcomed addition! read more

Finally came to the hat, my husband loves pastrami and I loved Katz. I would say it's a lot cheaper but also very different. The pastrami at the hat is thinly sliced and not as decadent as Katz. The sandwich was not bad but nothing compared to katz in my opinion. read more

The pastrami dip is what they are known for. I was able to share this with my husband. It comes with a delicious hot au jus sauce for dipping. We also ordered onion rings but it was too much even to share. It was nice and crispy though. The line to wait inside to order took only ten minutes. I will try the chili tamale when I come back to visit. read more

It was just ok. The meat was pretty cold and I don't think that's what they're going for. The gravy fries were tasty. All the portions are huge and the prices are pretty decent. The wait wasn't too long 3 weeks after they opened. I do love the old school look of the inside and the employees were friendly. Unfortunately the sandwiches were the low point and to me, that's what this place prides itself on, so this spot may not be for us. read more

This was my first time having a pastrami sandwich at The Hat. I arrived around 6:30 PM and went through the drive-thru. I thought about going inside, but it was pretty crowded. Even so, I ended up waiting about 20 minutes in the drive-thru line. I ordered the Original Pastrami Sandwich along with a small order of fries. The pastrami sandwich was very good and had a little kick to it. What really surprised me was the size of the fries. When they handed me two bags, I wondered why. One bag contained the sandwich, and the other was filled with fries. Their "small" fries could easily feed three people! For the price, it's definitely worth it. The small fries come with much more food than what you'd get at most fast-food restaurants. I ended up eating half of the sandwich and about one-third of the fries, and I'll be enjoying the rest tomorrow. I would definitely go back again. If you haven't been to The Hat yet, it's worth checking out. read more

Wow! I've only had the chance to try this once. It was in Rancho Cucamonga. Then I heard it was coming to Vegas. I purposely waited a month for it to slow down.... It hasn't slowed down and I know why. This one in Vegas is even better than the one I had in Cali. Damn.. so juicy and good and filling. I saw a lot of people with the pastrami loaded fries. That'll be my next try when I come back. Whew!!! So damn good!!! read more

The hat is really really good! It's very popular! I got in the drive through line around 11:20am and it took about 25 minutes from start to finish to get the order. Didn't bother me, I'm patient enough. The pastrami sandwich is sooooo great and worth the wait. They overload the pastrami so you won't be left feeling hungry still. The fries are good but I'd recommend some seasoning or dipping sauce as they were a little too plain for mg preference. Can't wait to come back to try their other sandwiches! read more

I was very impressed with the efficient operation from the team member directing traffic into the drive thru to the amazing kitchen staff making all the different food items. I ordered the original pastrami sandwich, it was thinly sliced pastrami and warm bread. I didn't think it was the best I've had but it was good and I ate it all. I can't say I the same for the chili cheese fries. It was so large three of us couldn't finish it! We also ordered a roast beef sandwich and onion rings. The restaurant was packed inside but the long line was very quick. Seating was also available in spite of the number of people dining. The effective operation and high customer turnover made it easy to find a clean table to sit. Overall a good experience and something we really wanted to try while visiting Las Vegas. read more

Haven't had pastrami in years, I happened to want to give it a try and high hopes of a short line. I was indeed lucky there were only 4 people in front of me, and the line in the drive through went fast. I ordered a pastrami melt, fries, gravy and au jus sauce. There was issues with the ordering as I had to keep repeating my order. The melt was 10/10 and not lacking meat or flavor. I loved the crispiness of the bread, the melt of the cheese and the gravy and au jus was an amazing addition!! I'll be back for the fries, and probably check out the inside and see what lies within. read more

I couldn't wait for this location to open, as it is a childhood favorite from growing up in SoCal. Conveniently located on Rainbow, just North of the 215. We didn't want to go through the drive thru as it was too hot to have car idling, even though the line was it the door to get inside. It only took 22 minutes to order and get food. Ordered the Pastrami Dip and onion rings. It was exactly how remembered. DELICIOUS!!! Quick and courteous service. This is a must!! read more

Food was hot and fresh! Ordered a pastrami dip sandwhich and large fries. I would have liked the sandwhich bread to be toasted but otherwise the flavors were there and it was a classic take on a pastrami sandwhich. The line was intimidating at first to stand in, but it moved by very fast and our order was served up within minutes as we dined in at busy dinner time. The ambiance is as if you've step back in time to a classic diner. I look forward to trying other sandwiches here or even their hot dogs! read more

We finally made it out here after about a week of them being open line at the drive thru still long but to order inside was not that bad we waited about 15 mins in line. We have always wanted to try the one in Cali but never got a chance to so we were excited for this Las Vegas location. I got the pastrami dip and husband got the pastrami melt along w small fries,side of gravy and medium drink. Food came out in about 10 mins, I honestly wanted to like the sandwich but we both agreed that it was overwhelming although they are generous on the portions but after the half of the sandwich I was pretty much done plus the pastrami is very dry and it could have used more pepper, The bread was dry as well. It needed some au jus sauce to dip it in I think, because it was really hard to swallow w it being so dry, small fries was huge definitely enough for 2-4 people nothing special w the fries could have used some more salt but ordering the gravy on the side helped it. we were only able to eat half our sandwiches which was disappointing because we paid almost $40 for our food. Service was just ok the older lady who took my order she might have been a supervisor or manager but she looked like she didn't want to be there. The only thing we really liked was the orange bang drink it tasted like orange Julius and the gravy for the fries was pretty good. Would we come back probably not, if we ever have the craving we can just probably make a pastrami sando at home. Also not sure if they are allowed to ask for a tip but one of the guy directing traffic had the decency to asked us for a tip like wth? read more

It was good and I will be back in a few weeks when the lines die down. Portions were huge. Especially for the chili cheese fries and onion rings. The fries were so big I don't know that I would order them again. I wish they had different sizes. We got the pastrami melt and the pastrami burger. I was expecting the bread on the melt to be crispy and it wasn't. Would have been 10/10 if it was. The burger was a on the soggy side. We ate there so nothing was sitting on our end. It was all still good tho and we ate it all I want to try the dip next time. The orange band drink is so good. I wish they had the pina colada one like the menu online read more

First pastrami dip sandwich and I like it! Simple sandwich that complements everything well. The flavor of the pastrami with the pickles, mustard and steamed baguette bread is delicious. The pastrami chili fries are massive. The pastrami, chili and fries are paired well together along with the cheese. Overall the food taste is fresh. The service was efficient. I stood outside for ten minutes before entering the restaurant. The Hat has a nice layout and seems to have a plan in place to get orders in and out quickly. I found the inside very nice and enjoyed the wood covered decor read more

Myself and my friend were so excited when we heard that the hat was coming to Vegas because we are both from the East Coast and used to really amazing pastrami and roast beef. So we decided to wait in the line. It was quite long, but well worth it in our opinion. Everyone that we encountered it along the way who was on staff was incredibly friendly, even though it was insanely busy. Though it was insanely busy the line was being pretty well managed once you got into the parking lot. The ambience of the parking lot and restaurant are that of a New York deli from yesteryear, which I really appreciated. Now, as for the food, as a pastrami lover, it was well worth the wait. The pastrami dip sandwich was just the right amount of moist, had nice briny pickles and some spicy Brown mustard. The pastrami itself was definitely shaved, but not so thin. You could see through it, which might've made it a little tiny bit better. But it is definitely a crave able sandwich that I would go back for. It was also quite large and depending on your appetite, you could share it potentially. My friend got the pastrami fries which I also tried and they were also tasty but I wanted the fries to just be a little bit crisper. The potato salad was solid, but not necessarily anything special. The chili was nice and thick and perfect for dipping the french fries in but the highlight for me other than the pastrami was the orange bang. The orange bang is what people who don't drink soda crave all the time. A drink that feels like soda, but isn't soda and just makes you wanna keep drinking. I look forward to returning in a bit when the hype dies down to try more of their menus and enjoy some indoor seating. read more

I got the Pastrami Dip and Large Fries. Pastrami Dip I rate a 6.5/10. The pastrami itself is really good and tender, and they give you a lot. The bun lacks a crispy toast and flavor. I think all they put is mustard, maybe if they had a light layer of special sauce it would be really good. Other than that, it just taste like a plain pastrami sandwich. Large Fries is 4/10. Slightly crispy, but thick and chewy, lacks flavor or even just salt. But I will say if you order a large they will give you a whole lot of fries, enough for 2-4 people. There's a lot of customers in there, line reaches the back door, but the employees do a great job with trying to get everybody taken care of. I waited no longer than 10 minutes in line, another 5-10 minutes waiting for the food. I wanted to eat there, but there was no where to eat. Outside is an option, but there's no shade to cover the tables. With how hot it gets outside, it's a shame they don't put umbrellas over the tables. I think it's worth the try. Would I go back? Maybe in the future if the line and wait wasn't so long. And maybe if they seasoned the fries and toasted the bread haha. read more

The pastrami sandwich was amazing. My daughter said she really loved the pastrami burger. The chili cheese fries fries are humongous and can feed about four people. But sometimes more Isn't better. Just stick to the pastrami. The workers are very nice and helpful. It's a big assembly line in there. There was about twenty employees in there at one time. We waited in line for about twenty minutes. If you go with two people have one stand in line and one find a table. I would go back again. read more

I've been a longtime fan of The Hat and usually have great experiences, so this visit stood out enough that I wanted to bring it to your attention. This was my 3rd visit to this location...first time actually ordering something. The first two times, I couldn't even get in the door...and that was already two weeks after the opening day. Last night, I arrived at a great time with almost no wait inside--only four people ahead of me. The drive‑thru was extremely busy, but the dine‑in line moved quickly. I received my food in under 15 minutes, which I appreciated. However, my pastrami dip sandwich was noticeably dry and lacked the usual flavor and moisture that I'm used to from other locations, especially Lake Forest. There was very little mustard, and after eating half the sandwich, I had to request additional mustard packets to improve the flavor. Most importantly, my Pastrami "Dip" was **not dipped at all**. The employee who took my order didn't ask whether I wanted the roll dipped or the au jus on the side. I only learned this later when ordering a to‑go item for my mother. Another employee asked the proper dipping question, explained the process, and apologized for the oversight. I appreciated the apology, but the experience still fell short of the standard I've come to know and love. On a positive note, the fries were exactly as I remembered--hot, plentiful, and delicious. I'm sharing this feedback in hopes it helps with training and consistency at the Las Vegas location. A small gesture such as a coupon for a future visit would have gone a long way, but more importantly, I wanted to make sure the issue was brought to your attention. I look forward to better experiences on my next visit. read more

So I'm not gonna lie the veggie sandwich needed salt when I got the toasted bread some spots were salted because the butter on it being toasted, but it had absolutely no flavor for some strange reason. The avocado was good, but like I said, it needed to be seasoned. I got cheese fries as well. I do like the french fries and I do like their pickles. I will go back for the avocado sandwich and I know there's known for their pastrami, but I do usually like your avocado sandwich. The weight wasn't too bad. I got there 30 minutes before it opened. It was pretty quick. I would Dr. Pepper for some reason it was acting up so they upgraded my cup of soda to make it right which was cool instead I got root beer. The people were nice at the window. They took out quick. They really should repeat back but that's OK. read more

We asked o e of the gentlman for a drink suggestion and we got the orange bang which is orange juice milk and egg whites. It went well with my pastrami cheese fries. Had the chili on the side and loved every bite. We are from the east coast and this is the best pastrami I have had since moving to Vegas. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday, and overall we had a great experience. We went inside to order and got in line at 10:07am. There were already several people ahead of us, but the line moved pretty quickly. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes for our food, which wasn't bad at all considering how busy they were. We ordered three pastrami dips, a chili cheese dog, a regular hot dog, gravy fries, chili cheese fries, and three medium drinks. Our total came to about $81. Everything was really good. My only minor complaint is that I wish the pastrami sandwiches had a little more pickle and mustard, but the flavor was still excellent. Or a condiment station that has mustrard packets. The portions are huge! I couldn't even finish half of my sandwich. The leftovers held up really well too and were just as good the next day. Also, major kudos to the hardworking staff behind the counter. I bet they are nonstop from open to close, and even so, they kept everything moving efficiently while staying friendly. read more
