    Went for takeout on a Tuesday evening dinner for the family. I intentionally waited a few months after opening to hopefully allow the crowds to subside. There were still about 15 cars in the drive-through when I arrived and the timing from arrival to food-in-hand was about 25 minutes so they're continuing to get a good crowd. We ordered multiple items to share - the classic pastrami dip, a pastrami melt, a tuna melt and the chili cheese fries plus an order of onion rings. I thought the pastrami was quite tasty - it's shaved nice and thin which is a prerequisite for a good sandwich. It's seasoned very well and not too lean or fatty - just right. The sandwiches come with pickles for an acidic complement to the meat. We enjoyed the tuna melt - it's clearly a house made mix and that sandwich comes with lettuce and tomato. One of my favorite items was the onion rings - they're in a thick breading which is my preferred style. I found the chili cheese fries to be a little on the dry side (if that makes sense). I think perhaps the fries had soaked up all the chili by the time I got home (we live about 20 minutes from the restaurant). I think if I ever wanted to come back I would want to dine-in which I believe would be a better representation of the food quality. Also be aware the portions here are massive - we easily have enough leftovers for another entire meal.

    Just newly opened. Whole o can recommend this place I also recommend waiting till the extremely long lines out the door have subsided. Also the long drive thru. Got here and it took about 30ish minutes from walking in the door to placing the order. Again I stress that this place just opened and everyone from all over town is trying it. Food was good. Very big servings. If you eat like a bird 1 order will feed 2. I finished my order but of course I was hungry from waiting. I suggest if you have a place to sit eat it right away cause the bread will get soggy as well as the chili fries. Or I seen a few sit on the tailgate of there truck and/or inside the car with the AC running. It's too hot to be eating on the outside tables right now. Overall it's good. I want to experience properly so I will come back again when the lines are reasonable and I can easily find a seat

    Pastrami Dip
    Chelsie R.

    Waited for the "HYPE" die down and was able to try. Did drive thru with about 10 cars deep. Line went fairly quick. They were friendly during ordering and at pick ip window. Ordered the pastrami dip & a large onion ring. While in line, the crowd inside was pretty decent, not as chaotic as those other times we've passed by. The pastrami dip was very good. They are very generous with their servings. We split the sandwich between my son, husband and I. Perfect size to fill all three of us. The onion rings were good too... it's not all batter like some other places lol. Both were def worth the price. $13 for pastrami dip and $7 for Large onion rings(bag full) Overall - pretty good......Buuuuut so glad we waited cuz it wouldnt have been worth a 2hr wait when they first opened.

    Arrived early and was 3rd in the drive thru. There were already 20 + in line at the door to go inside. I ordered the pastrami dip and a small fry. My pastrami dip was juicy, flavorful and delicious! The small fry is not small, to me it's a large size. Definitely could be shared. I'm fortunate to say that I've eaten at the one in Alhambra and Simi Valley, CA. I will definitely be back as this was a treat.

    Went last Monday after running an errand. Unfortunately that put me at the Hat smack dab in the middle of their lunch rush, around 12:30. I pull up and the drive-thru is insane, so I decided to park and go in. The line inside wasn't bad. I was 5th in line to order. After ordering, I waited ~10 min. for my sandwich. Overall, the entire process took ~15-20 min. The pastrami sandwich was good. Not great, but good. I shared it with my husband. It was filled with pastrami and tasted exactly like the last time I had it in L.A. (Pasadena to be exact). I was a Johnnie's Pastrami gal when I lived in L.A. and was introduced to the Hat by my now-husband. I thought it was a 4-star place back then and still consider it a 4-star place. But considering it's in Vegas now, more like a 4.5 star place.

    Omg. The pastrami sandwich was huge. The cheeseburger was big and juicy and at bargain $6.50. At 11:30 pm the line was 15-20 min wait. The onion rings and fries portions were enormous. We couldn't finished 1/2 of our order. A def great find

    Chili fries
    mich l.

    3.5 to 4 stars First time here at the Hat. We ordered pastrami dip sandwich and I split it with my husband. I couldn't finish my half, it was too much for me. It was not too salty. For Flavor, it was okay. We also ordered chili fries, it was humongous portion. The flavor was a little too heavy for me. How you order is to be in line and order and pay and wait to be called. Plenty of chairs and tables. During peak hours the line is long, luckily we came here at 9 pm, line was short. Noise level moderate. They constantly clean the tables and the floor. Plenty of parking.

    Food was a bit bland. I expected the roast beef to hold its own on flavor, not have the au jus carry the meal. The hype was real but the taste didn't measure up for me. Granted, I've never been a fan of In and Out so the West Coast palette was never agreeable. My only comparison is to Manny's in Chicago and The Hat didn't even get on the map when comparing tastes. The only redeeming item on the menu was the pastrami French fries. I won't be going back. At the end of the day, I wasn't impressed.

    Pastrami melt- 4/5
    Jin N.

    Alright folks, I've been to the original HAT in Cali. Went once and never went back. So, where's the rundown for you. Avoid long lines by going hella early in the most random time at 5:00pm or later after 8pm. Don't even mess with that drive through, it's horrendous looking. Park and just line up or walk in. Pastrami melt- 4/5. Onion rings- 5/5. If you love onion rings, this is the real deal. Chilli fries- 1/5. Fries were meh. Chilli looked like doo doo and I half lost appetite with the look, color, and everything about it. I didn't get cheese on top, cuz it drives me nuts to see unmelted chunks of shredded cheddar cheese on any hot foods. I want my cheese melted, not look like I just topped it right out of the fridge. Flavor was just...0/5 basically not good at all. And I am a self-proclaimed chili connoisseur. Pastrami burger- 5/5. I don't know what it is, but it was exceptionally good. Id go back and get the onion rings, pastrami burger, and call it a day with some orange bang, it was my first time trying it and I liked it.

    Had to try out the new location. Went at prime lunch time. 12:30. On the dot. Line wasn't that long. Took a total of 22 minutes to order and walk out the door. Not to bad for a Sunday at lunch. Now the location has ton of parking and easy to get to. Nice new location so it all looks clean and new. The staff was friendly and easy to work with. Took a total of 22 minutes from time I walked in ordered and waited for my meal and walking out the door. As for the quality of the food. It's the same Hat I always remembered. And for the price of 14.00 for a huge sandwich. Hard to beat.

    Lauren H.

    Another California childhood favorite. The Hat doesn't do fussy. It does flavorful. It's fast-food with a sense of pride, served by friendly staff who make sure your pastrami-to-bread ratio never dips into tragedy. Is it healthy? Absolutely not. Is it a religious experience between two slices of bread? Also yes. Come hungry. Leave happy.

    An idea of what you can get.... but if it doesn't include pastrami... why are you here??

    Finally got to try this SoCal staple a few weeks after their opening. While the drive thru was still insanity, walking in was a much more reasonable (maybe 15 mins) wait. This was one of my dad's faves, so as an homage to him, had to try it out and bring home (that said, there was a decently large dining room for people to eat in). Wasn't completely sure what to get and ended up with a few Pastrami Dips (which was 1 too many for 2 of us) and a Chili Cheese Fries. Pastrami dip was delicious.. not a whole lot to it, but honestly... there doesn't need to be! Amazingly, the leftovers were delicious the next day too, so if you're not sure if you need one more sandwich.. just get it and have it the next day. As for the fries.. like others on here, nothing earth shattering. Mind you had to bring them home, so the fries likely got a bit softer, but the chili was just okay. The amount of cheese was nice and absolutely necessary to change the flavor. Next time, I'd be going pastrami chili cheese fries (which I didn't see as a menu item until after paying) or fries and gravy (someone get them some cheese curds and these could be decent poutine. I will say that the fries tasted better reheated the next day... so either dine in and eat them fresh.. or maybe reheat them at home immediately?? Definitely want to try eating in one day, but I'll wait for the temps and lines to go down!

    Grew up eating these pastrami dips in California and I'm so glad they had an opportunity to build one here. It's my personal favorite for pastrami dips and chili cheese fries. My husband and I finally decided to try it out since we hoped that it had died down a bit since opening. The drive thru line is still ridiculously long, going all the way out to the street, so we just dined inside. The line wasn't too bad, with about a 15 min wait. The food was ready within a timely manner after ordering (about 10mins). We decided to order our favorite pastrami chili cheese fries. And of course washed it all down with a nice frothy large orange bang. Their seating area is bigger than the other California locations we go too (including brea, san dimas, alhambra and upland). I'll always be a returning customer as long as they have one in Vegas.

    Ask the Community - The Hat

    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.

While we were eating the meal, one of the owners spoke with us about how the restaurant started and their catering business as well! The fried chicken wings were the best though! The chicken wings were breaded perfectly and each bite was crispy! The BBQ sauce was a sweet BBQ sauce. The chocolate milkshake was outstanding! I ended up drinking this first before eating the entire meal! It was thick and flavorful! I'd order a milkshake from Amy's Burgers again! This is a fantastic local restaurant! If you have a chance to try out Amy's Burgers, you should! The food is soo delicious!

Inside it looks like most sports bars with lots of TVs and a variety of seating inside and possibly patio seating for when the weather is right. We asked about the meat blend of the burgers and our server said that she didn't know because she works at another burger restaurant and gets the two mixed up. I also asked if the burgers were ground in house and she shook her head no. We started out by sharing the macaroni and cheese bites. They were fried nicely and had nice cheesy filling. Not sure what it was but they also left a weird after taste that I didn't like but maybe other people might not be bothered by. Since I didn't know what was in the burgers I ordered a Chicken Sandwich called Fowl Play. It was a big sloppy sandwich. I really wish they used knives and forks here because it was hard to eat as it was. It was reasonably GOOD but did run on the sweet side. The fries that came with it were fresh made and good. My husband tried the Green Chili Burger and asked for it to be cooked Medium-Rare. It came out well done. It was very good for a well done burger with good flavors and all but still it was well done. It also wasn't very busy but our server didn't feel the need to check on us so she didn't stop by until we finished. We told her the burger was well done instead of medium-rare.
