Pastrami Queen

This is a small shop with limited seating. It was very busy while I was there. Beyond the meat, the pea soup was very good and the hand cut fries were hot and crispy. The service was prompt and friendly.

"Pastrami Queen" serves one of the best Quality Hot Pastrami Sandwich's anywhere. You can also get a Plate of sliced Pastrami or Beef Brisket if Your not in the mood for eating Bread. This place has been around for SEVENTY Years, and very little has changed except for the prices.<br>Oh I'm SUCH a Pastrami Queen!

Ordered the open pastrami sandwich which came with gravy, chips and coleslaw. All of it was delicious! Pastrami wasn't especially hot, but it was super flavorsome and the light gravy really helped moisten the sandwich without overpowering the pastrami.<br><br>The coleslaw and chips were also great. My partner got the potato salad instead of coleslaw and it was also delicious.

$30 is not worth it. Period. You can get the same sandwich anywhere in NYC for $15/$20. If they piled on the meat, maybe, but truly not worth the money.<br><br>Waiter was awesome. Atmosphere was typical NYC.

Tried Pastrami Queen and honestly… mixed feelings. The sandwich itself was pretty mid—nothing terrible, but definitely not living up to the hype. The vibes, though? Solid. Classic NYC deli energy, which I appreciated.<br><br>That said, $32 for a pastrami sandwich felt *wildly* steep for what I got. But I guess that’s just the NYC tax at this point.

We stopped here after visiting the Met. We were lucky to get seated quickly as there was a line after us. It is a small seating area, so the table are close to each other.<br><br>I ordered the roast beef sandwich and shared the garlic fries with my family. The garlic fries had a lot of garlic on it. It was seasoned well and mostly crispy. My son enjoyed it. As for the roast beef sandwich, the roast beef needed more seasoning and salt. The mustard did help overcome this. I also enjoyed the 3 different types of pickles.<br><br>It was an enjoyable lunch.

Pastrami by the pound! I set up an entire meal at home for family with what I can bring home from Pastrami Queen. There are no pretenders here and its worth finding this little spot to get the real deal. I leave a tip in the jar for the fellows that make all of this good food, and I have always had only the very best Pastrami from them.<br>Recommended

Kind of pretty good? The meat is sliced thinner than katz and the sandwich is much smaller (for almost same price). Soup came out very fast because they did not heat it up (or season it at all). Sandwiches were also not really warm. Price of the meal was kind of crazy. I am a local and stopped by because it is supposedly a classic. I’m gonna stick to my go-to on Houston street. Service is slow and people waiting for tables stare at you and get in your space. If you need to try this place just get it to go.

I really don’t understand why people enjoy this place. I ordered the pastrami sandwich and the bread was extremely dry while the pastrami itself was cold. The chopped liver was acceptable, but again it was served with dry bread. The service felt as if they were doing me a favor, which is never a good feeling. I will not spend my time or money here again. There are many other places that offer a much better experience.

I ordered a pastrami sandwich, a brisket sandwich, and French fries. Everything arrived super cold and chewy. The brisket wasn’t even brisket — it tasted like boiled beef on a hero roll.<br><br>Nothing was flavorful, and the overall quality was really disappointing.<br>I genuinely hate writing bad reviews, and I always try to avoid it, but this was too much.<br>It felt disrespectful to serve food like this

This was a legit little sandwich shop!! My wife said it is some of the best pastrami she's ever had. I had the roast beef sandwich, and it was really freaking good. They load up the sandwiches with a good amount of meat! The onion rings, latkes, and coleslaw were all very solid sides as well. It's a tiny shop, so you have to squeeze in there but it's all a part of the experience. Definitely recommend stopping by here if you're in the mood for a good sandwich!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about the $50.00 per pound pastrami, that’s always delicious, BUT the packets of prepared mustard just cheapens the entire experience. Here’s some free advice: fill plastic soufflé cups w/lids with the same brown, spicy mustard you serve at the tables. Isn’t that what you used to do? I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated by others as well.

Lets get right to it: $30 for the sandwich wasn’t worth it. Sandwich wasn’t horrible, a bit dry and had basic flavor but still edible (for $2 a bite of course) I just feel there shouldn’t be reviews or ravings of “known for huge sandwiches”. A huge sandwich should have me full or saving half for later. Im still hungry and Im definitely not a big back. I can appreciate great food for the price but this didn’t add up for me and I work all over the city to queens and brooklyn. Try it and form your own opinion of course but don’t go in with high expectations. I didn’t even have enough dressing to finish the other half of my sandwich.<br><br>Ps dont let the photo fool you, sandwich is barely 2 lbs Id say

Pastrami Queen was great! The sandwiches were truly excellent — especially the roast beef, tongue, and brisket. The beef broth served as a dipping sauce was rich and flavorful. The coleslaw was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the local soda was just the right touch. The place was clean (even the restroom!), we found a table right away, got served quickly, and finished our meal without any delays. The check for three was a bit over $100 — definitely worth it for the quality and experience.

I really wanted to try a typical pastrami sandwich, and I think I chose a great place. It's very small and modest, but it has a unique and authentic atmosphere. The staff was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the traditional sandwich with fries, and there were two of us. It was very tasty.
