I haven’t had a pastrami in a long time. The last I had one not from the Hat the pastrami way to fatty. The Hat has to use premium pastrami, because of it’s low fat content. I have to say the best pastrami sandwich I ever had. Hat’s off!

Good food and old fashion burger/sandwich spot. Enjoyed the famous Pastrami sandwich with mustard and pickles with fries. Kid friendly with a Jr. burger. My husband had chili cheese fries. Note that the large fries is more of a family style size it filled half ways up a paper bag.Kid-friendliness: Had a Jr. burger for kids and the place has room for kids with kids high chairs

The Hat is the BEST pastrami place ever!! I only wish there was one up North in Sacramento. But if not its nothing but a lil 6 1/2 hour drive to my favorite place ♥️ If you are ever in Southern California and you have never eaten at The Hat, you are truly missing out! Go to The Hat get a Pastrami sandwich, some Pastrami Chili cheese fries and an Orange Bang!!

BRING SELF-SERVE CONDIMENTS BACK. The pandemic is behind us and that excuse no longer applies. Now it is just about control and skimping on costs. Build self-serve condiments and supplies back into the price of the food. When I pick my items, I should not have to walk back to the counter and beg staff to stop what they are doing to get a fork, more napkins, mustard or ketchup, etc. They do not always ask. Before the health crisis these were readily available via self-serve. It slows staff productivity, they get irritated with customers and they wind up giving you absolute huge quantities of condiments, way more than requested. Talk about waste and a negative customer experience. BTW, the food was good! Wish the roast beef portion was as generous as the pastrami.

Eternal legendary soul food. The amount has decreased compared to the past, but I always miss it.

Excellent longtime to-go joint with a well-rounded menu. The portion sizes are generous, and everything is delicious from the hits (pastrami, chili, onion rings etc) to the more basic staples (deli sandwiches & burgers). Drive-thru service can be a bit slow, but it's something I'll gladly wait for.

Always love going to The Hat no matter which location. I'll even alter my path to stop there when I can. I always get the pastrami dip and wet fries.

World best pastami? Quiet possibly. Unfortunately had a violent episode of Nauea, vomitting and... yeah it was bad really bad. I called to let them know that something went terrible wrong after eating here but no one ever returned my call, frankly no one cares. I still love their pastrami but it left a bad taste in my mouth since that day. I can't pull myself to go back.
