Editorial Review for Katz's Deli & Bar – by James Scott Bankston
In Short
Opened in 1979, this eatery quickly became an Austin urban life essential. You'll hardly notice the artwork on the walls for all the people-watching. The atmosphere is always electric, whether it's noon or 5am, and everybody drops in sooner or later. The tasty matzo ball, chicken and noodle soup with potato pancakes is a meal in itself, though you can't go wrong with the large Reuben sandwiches. Finish it all off with New York-style cheesecake.

The food was mediocre at best, and overpriced. Mark Katz is a drunken fool and ruined our dining experience...he kept flirting with me at my table in front of my husband! And I'm supposed to hand over money to this guy for making us both very uncomfortable?!? Never again!

WOW, I was there and they were out of corned beef, roast beef, rye bread (actually most of the breads they were out of) not to mention all of the desserts were not in stock. Honestly if you expect to run a deli, you MUST have the meats and breads to do so. I was disappointed ! Also, I heard they just lost their best manager, things are really going down hill now. Time to pack it up Mr. Katz, you're time in Austin is done! I advise everyone to take the extra time and go on up to Manny Hattans or if you must be downtown, go to another deli ( even Jason's deli kicks Katz' **) I know there is also a murphys deli on 5th and congress! Happy Eating
Pros: Downtown
Cons: Too many to list
