Not worth your time or money, jog on.

I put Katz's Deli in the category: you will feel obligated to do it, but you'll be disappointed when you do. Loads of people have commented on the food which I must say is hit and miss. I had a Ruben which was pretty good,...More

Completely overpriced for what you get

USD $28 for a pastrami reuben sandwich is RIDICULOUS!! Its not worth the money, so dont waste your time, especially after standing in a queue for more than 15min. Also, dont loose the entry ticket, else they charge you $70 to exit.. WHAT A RORT!!...More

I had a look on their website for you and it appears that they do deliver. Just google Katz's deli and there's an option in there for local delivery. Hope this helps.
