Second time there! First time getting food. The day it opened was there about 3:00 PM the wait was over 3 hours. Needless to say I did not. Today the wait was about 20 minutes. Big sandwich, lots of meat. Had there famous Pastrami dip. Yeah! Not worth the 20 minute wait. Bread was horrible, Pastriami was just O.K. Small drink and order of onion rings. Drink cup was about 8 Ozs. Onion rings greasy. Got a dirty look from the buser girl when I refilled the drink. Not worth it. Back to my Jewish deli and get a pastrami on rye bread and potato salad much better....... read more

We went to The Hat for the first time today. Long line out the door. I was surprised that it only took about 15 min. to make it to the front. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Only took about 10 min to get the food once we ordered. Food was amazing! My husband and I shared the Pastrami Dip and small onion rings. We will go back again & again. So impressed!! read more

I've ordered the Pastrami Dip (on the side) and it was delicious with the Au jus. Unfortunately the hamburger isn't worth writing about. Fries, eh. lol Wait time wasn't long for how busy it seemed. The bun was as expected, but I didn't know they had different bread choices, as the worker never mentioned anything. The ambiance has an old style diner feel, but it was dirty for a Wednesday. Workers were wiping tables, but not the chairs, floors obviously not mopped for some time. Hopefully they will address the dining room cleanliness. read more

The Hat - Pastrami Dip (on side) Delicious! - Burgers Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Spacious, friendly and helpful staffs, clean and generous with condiments and proportion. It has been a few years since we had The Hat in CA. So happy they open one in Vegas. Our regular is the pastrami dip, onion rings and orange bang. It's also so nice that they handed iced cold water bottles today to people that were in line outside in a 99 degrees weather. read more

The Hat - Pastrami, onion rings and orange bang. - Burgers Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

After seeing all the social media hype about this eatery I knew I needed to take my hubby here since he's a pastrami nut !!! The lines were not too crazy around 1 pm on the day we visited and we decided to ditch the car line for the walk up line and eat on premise. When you finally reach the "inside" make sure one of your party finds a table because chances are you won't find one after you place your order. When your food is ready, they call you to the counter to pick up your order. I think they should have numbers and somebody bring out the order to you. Especially if they're looking to have some employees that are tipped employees. Plus, it makes it more convenient than having to fight through the crowd to get to your food. My husband had a pastrami sandwich and I chose a roast beef bbq sandwich. Not too thrilled about the buns they come on. All the juiciness from the meat and the sauces makes the bun mushy. Be prepared that these sandwiches are really messy to eat. My husband loved the pastrami flavor and he thought it was a good quality product. However, the roast beef barbecue had overcooked roast beef and I was definitely not a fan. Order a small fry because the portion is really large. The two of us shared the fries and it was definitely large enough with a small order. Employees are friendly, which led to a nice atmosphere. Would I return? The jury is out because we don't crave pastrami on a daily basis! read more

This is our very first visit to any The Hat. We were impressed with the large menu. The line was literally out the door when we arrived, but no more than that. Even though it was very crowded, we got to order in far less than 10 minutes, and were served in less than 10 minutes. They have some specialty fruit drinks, such as Orange Bang, at the refillable soda fountain, which we really liked. All of the food we ordered was very good! The potato salad (made with red skin potatoes) was excellent, creamy and the perfect balance of mustard and mayonnaise. The barbecue beef sandwich was excellent with the perfect amount of dripping sauce. The steak sandwich was very good, with two thin layers of steak running all the way through the entire length of the sandwich, and was tender with no gristle. The Pastrami Burger was almost ridiculous! It had so much delicious pastrami in it, there was no way you could keep it all on there. The burger patty itself was also high-quality. What a sandwich! We also had fries with gravy, where the fries could have been cooked a little more. We were very impressed with this store. They had at least 15 or more employees running around all taking care of business. The drive-thru line seemed to wrap around the entire parking lot, but we didn't join that. We dined inside, where we could refill our drinks and seats were actually available when we entered. read more

So, we finally came here to try this place. Wondering what the hype is all about. Here is my honest review. We bought the pastrami dip, onion rings and fries. The sandwich was good but a bit dry. The onion rings were fried to perfection. The gentleman who took our order was very helpful. Service was expected and ambiance was satisfactory. read more

Best Pastrami Dip in the World!!! I used to go to the one in Rancho Cucamonga CA. For years

Definitely not my first time but a welcomed addition to LV!!! Open late till 12am to skip lines and still an absolute staple!!! Thinly sliced pastrami plus chili fries is always a go to with a side of gravy is an absolute must with iconic Orange Bang!!! Prices still remain reasonable but definitely less and less over stuffed pastrami over the years but still delicious and great deal!! Highly recommended!!! read more

Literally a bang for your buck 4.50 for onion rings and you get A TOONNN! The service was quick for how packed it was but they got their system down! I definitely want to go back to try more, I got a ham and cheese melt! Was good, very cheesy!!! read more

Still very crowded a while after their opening, but the dine in line to the register moved quickly. Tables can be at a premium. The drive thru line was quite lengthy! We ordered pastrami and roast beef sandwiches, with a large side of onion rings. For some reason we were given like six spoons and a dozen packets of ketchup for our order. All team members appeared to be working quickly, but the food took about 20 minutes. Pastrami was plentiful and tasty! The roast beef was very good especially with the au jus, but pretty skimpy in contrast to the pastrami. read more

Rainbow location wait was 25 minutes. Boy has it died down. Hype must be somewhat over. Where were there at 5:20. Found a parking spot even in front. Expect to spend around $25 per person. Pastrami was ok. For us bread needs to be btr quality and will change the whole sandwich taste. Ordered a beef not much meat for $12.50. Too much bread for amount of meat and again they need a btr quality bread. We ordered the chili tamales. They serve them with pickles and tomatoes. They were good but weird since they had pickles and tomatoes. We removed them since we are not used to tamales having them. Large onion rings were good reminded us of the original onion ring from White Castle. When they had whole rings not petals. Fries were ok little salty. You get big portions of fries and onion rings. We shared and had not finished them. Peppers are self serve see picture! This is our first time at The Hat did not know what to expect. Thank you to the hard working staff. read more

Waited about 40 minutes in the drive thru before getting to the order window. Got a pastrami burger which is just ok, the pastrami meat however is really tasty. Also had onion rings but sadly doesn't taste as good as it looked, onion too thin. Haven't been inside so can't comment on the ambience. read more

Yes, you're going to wait. It was worth it. $12.90, for the legendary Pastrami Dip! I couldn't eat more than half. The family next to me, was raving about their burgers. Less than $9, gets you a bacon double cheeseburger! So much to try. Next time I'll have to ask for the left side of the menu. read more

The Danger of Hype: A Solid Three-Star LA Import with a Disorganized Counter Driven by the inescapable wave of social media hype surrounding its new Las Vegas expansion, I decided to see if **The Hat** lived up to its legendary Southern California reputation. Visiting on June 15th, I walked in with high expectations but walked out feeling thoroughly underwhelmed. While the venue itself has promise, the experience as a whole is firmly average--a classic case of style over true culinary substance, marred by a frustrating breakdown in basic front-of-house etiquette. The Food: Decent Pastrami, Deficient Combinations The menu here is straightforward, blue-collar comfort food, but the execution doesn't quite elevate it past standard fast-food tiers. * **The Pastrami Melt:** Served with pickles, this was a perfectly decent sandwich. The pastrami itself was savory and tender enough, but it lacked that impactful, top-tier punch that forces you to go out of your way for a meal. It satisfies a baseline craving, but nothing more. * **The Chili Cheese Fries (with Tomatoes and Pickles):** This is where the culinary logic fell flat. The combination of heavy, savory chili and cheese with cold, wet tomatoes and standard pickles felt completely off-kilter and frankly bizarre for chili fries. It desperately lacked the option for more traditional, sharp counter-elements like jalapeños and diced onions to cut through the grease. * **The Gastronomic Verdict:** "Okay" is the most accurate word available. It sits comfortably in the same lane as an elevated Carl's Jr., Burger King, or In-N-Out. It's entirely uninspiring--good if you happen to be driving past and have a specific craving for pastrami or a patty melt, but certainly nothing to wait in a massive line for. [ Culinary & Experience Scorecard ] ----------------------------------------------------------- Pastrami Melt: Decent, standard fast-food execution. Chili Cheese Fries: Confusing tomato/pickle pairing; needs jalapeños. Ambiance & Layout: Excellent physical space and utility. Customer Service: Poor situational awareness; chaotic line management. The Ambiance: Built for Volume If there is a bright spot, it is the physical architecture of the restaurant. The interior is genuinely cool, incredibly spacious, and designed with high-volume comfort in mind. There is ample seating to accommodate large families or late-night groups, complemented by a great outdoor seating area and the ultimate convenience of a drive-thru. They are clearly staffed heavily to handle a crowd, which makes the subsequent breakdown in service all the more disappointing. The Service: A Blatant Lack of Situational Awareness While the actual food preparation was quick, the frontline customer service during a rush was a total free-for-all. While I was waiting patiently behind another customer in the main ordering line, a line began to form behind me. An employee suddenly stepped up to an unoccupied register to open a second line. Instead of directing the queue or calling for the next person in line (me) to step over, the person at the absolute *back* of the line seized the opportunity, cut the entire queue, and jumped to the new register. Rather than exercising basic crowd control or courtesy by stating, "I can help the next person who was waiting," the employee simply took the line-cutter's order without a word. Even when the guest behind me explicitly asked aloud if the register was open and why a chaotic second line was forming, the employee completely ignored us. Standing less than five feet away, he either lacked the fundamental situational awareness required for front-of-house work, or chose to actively ignore the disruption. The Final Verdict The Hat brings a recognizable name from LA, but leaves the premium execution behind. Between a thoroughly average, bland menu and a frustrating first impression with line management, the social media allure quickly fades. It is a strict **3/5 stars** experience--acceptable food, but the subpar customer service ensures I won't be making a return trip. read more

The food was okay after got two new hot dogs one that was burnt bun and the other one cold. My dad's pastrami was ok. The onion rings were okay and so was the French fries. Drinks were good. The service was okay but the Rancho Cucamonga in California off the 15 is really good. The ambiance inside felt like home in California. For the first time living here in Henderson Nevada for 10 years the Hat was great. Good job everyone at The Hat on Rainbow off. read more

The Hat - Sandwich size - Burgers Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

i saw all the hype online and decided to stop by after the gym. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The first red flag should have been the restroom. The bathroom looked poorly maintained and was dirtier than some public beach restrooms I've seen. I ignored it and ordered anyway, which I now regret. Later that night, I became sick and ended up vomiting for hours. I felt so bad the next day that I had to call out of work. I can't say for certain what caused it, but the timing was enough to make me question the overall cleanliness of the place. Based on my experience, I won't be returning. Ps I hate leaving bad reviews I was unable to find a email to private send this message. read more

Stopped here after the hockey game. The line was not very long for the drive thru. I ordered the pastrami dip. It was just ok. I also ordered onion rings and potato salad, which were very good. My main complaint would be that when they asked me if I wanted condiments, I asked for ketchup for my onion rings. When I got home, there were packets of Hunts ketchup in the bag. Gross! Honestly, that's a deal breaker for me as silly as that may sound. I'm sure I will go back and try something else, but I won't go out of my way for it. read more

Drive thru line wasn't long so we decided to give it a try but omg still waited extra 30mins right after ordering the food! This place is definitely not worth anyones time. They know its busy but it might be understaff? Katz's Deli would never. It make sense why the rating keeps going down. Oh its not that busy inside either. I can see this place having barely any customers soon. BUT THE STAFF ARE REALLY NICE just the food is mid read more

Very highly anticipated to say the least. We stumbled upon the hat in LA area when we would go visit and looked on Yelp for pastrami burgers this was a go to spot to grab a delicious pastrami burgers. Being no stranger to this company and finding out they were building one in Vegas we definitely had our eyes and ears out for the grand opening. Finally a grand opening date was sep I believe may 6th 2026 and yes the hype was really real out here. Since the opening I would drive by to see if the line inside and drive thru was dying down and it definitely wasn't so I knew I had to wait til the hype dies down. Three weeks and some change later may 28th 2026 11:20 AM originally I went to go get a refund at Costco in the south west for something than after planned on going to the gym instead my heart said let's go try the hat and see if the line isn't crazy lol. I get there and the surprisingly the line was manageable. I was only in line for 20 minutes although I look behind me and the line started getting longer lol. So excited that I made it to order in the drive thru I ordered the famous pastrami dip, the roast beef with aju, grilled cheese, plain cheeseburger, potato salad, chili fries with pickles, large fries, and large onion rings this is for 4 of us including our kids. First like to say the pastrami dip lived up to its hype and is a delicious choice. Perfect amount of flavored meat,soft bread, and nice amount of pickles and is a must to try with the spicy brown mustard sauce! The chili fries is a hit pairs well with the pickles a must try. The roast beef dip we didn't get to due to limited space but is packing that for luck for work. Onion rings and fries are good quality. The potato salad is such an underrated side order for your palate very versatile and delicious pair with a main sandwich of choice. With all this delicious food we got orange bangs for drinks this was a hit with this epic lunch having this drink on the menu as well as many other great drinks is a plus. The service was excellent talk about hustle and bustle and staying poise during the peak hours let's give credit for the folks working here they did great. Took my order with positive vibes and enthusiasm made my drive thru experience everything. If you've been hearing the hype about the hat well I'm here to tell you the hype is real this a must try for a trendy and household name established company that sell delicious pastrami sandwiches and burgers the hat is the place to check out we will be definitely going back! read more

I have not had one bad thing here but love the onion rings. You get a lot for your money, just beware of the time because the lines can be long. Even with how busy they get I never see a disappointment customer and I have yet to be let down in my 3 visits. In side is clean deli style vibes. read more

It wasn't that good to me, however it wasn't that bad either if that makes any sense. Maybe my expectations were too high and in turn it fell short to what I expected . We live up in Aliante and made a special trip to give the world famous pastrami a try. After trying it, the stars would have to align just right to have it again . Meaning if we were in the area and in the mood for pastrami we might go again. But no more special trips. read more

Delicious! The hype is real. I got a pastrami dip and small fries. The portions are generous especially the fries. My meal was enough food for two people. The pastrami was yummy. The smokey pepper flavor is light but tasty. The fries are seasoned well and fresh. Service was quick and easy. The place is nice with an old school 70's decor vibe. My only complaint is they give you Hunts ketchup. read more

Th pastrami dip sandwich was amazing- really yummy and overstuffed! It was as good as the pastrami I got from delis in New York. Unfortunately, as a senior- the 3000 mg of sodium in the sandwich could be a challenge for my blood pressure med. If your body can handle the sodium, you must try this sandwich! read more

Was leery due to LA provenance; but received a gift card, so off I went. Arrived 1:30pm, a traffic jam for the drive thru, thus I joined the queue inside. Ordered the signature item, a pastrami dip; customized mine with Swiss cheese. Small,spicy pepperoncinis are gratis. Twenty five minute wait, but service was accurate indeed. Did not order on rye ( is not a deli after all), the roll held a goodly amount of tasty, moist pastrami with the right degree of fat. Adding a bit of Gulden's brown mustard, this was definitely a great pastrami sandwich. Would have loved an egg cream on the side.... Note that: There is a great value here, considering the price of fast food currently. At 2pm, the line instantly shrunk down to a few patrons - avoid the rush! read more

Visited the evening of 6/30. No real wait. Food is underwhelming. I guess as a New Yorker my standards for pastrami are very high and this is not even close. It's a big portion that's just ok. Won't be returning but glad I tried it. read more

Went on a Friday afternoon a little after 1pm. There was a line but it constantly moved and we were ordering in maybe less than 15 minutes. Waited maybe 5 minutes and our food was ready. Got the Patrami dip, chili cheese fries and onion rings. The chili cheese fried was soooo big. Three of us hardly put a dent in it. Large onion rings was BIG. Pastrami dip could've been shared between my husband and me but it tasted just as good later that night. We loved it! read more

Mehhhhh. I've definitely had wayyyyyyyy better pastrami than this. Definitely NOT WORTH THE WAIT. I heard people wait over an hour in the drive through....like really? You lazy mofos. Over an hour!!!! I couldn't imagine yall waiting a half hour standing in a line lol Geezuz this world! lol nearly 95 percent of the people in line were even overly obese. I can only imagine what was sitting in those cars lol Anywho, the fries were not even fresh! Let alone the pastrami being good. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH SALT! Ewewweeee!!!!! Just gross. I literally threw away an entire meal. I don't know if this is what yall think good pastrami is, but it definitely is the worse I've ever had. And I have had it in over 20 states, from Cali to New York! Just gross. read more

Finally got to experience what the hype was all about. Sure the pastrami sandwich was the goal here, but seeing the gigantic chili cheese fries with pastrami going around had me super curious Ordered the 2 items and I was in and out in 30 minutes as a walk in customer. I got home and ate 1/2 the sandwich and it was ok. I live a mile away and the sandwich was soggy. The chili cheese fries with pastrami weighed 2 pounds 9 ounces and I ate and ate, but I didn't make a dent. Leftover city for sure. $17 dollars for it, but as a Leftover it's like a solid brick. It would be nice to order a individual order that isn't so humongous. I threw much of it away, unlike cold pizza the chili fries doesn't eat well as a leftover. Overall $30+ for the 2 items and tasty, but not exceptional flavor. It may be a better experience with friends and sit inside the restaurant and share, but for a individual a chili dog and a drink would be a better plan. The drive thru line may go down in a month or two, but I would recommend parking and dine inside. Surely a classic fast food experience, but as with most new places to eat, waiting hours and hours seems silly read more
