I love their pastrami dip sandwiches. Full of meat and good bread. One thing for sure they are consistent. Their meat is always moist, tender and with flavor. Check cliseingtimes out. Usually half hour before posted time.The one on Atlantic closes at 1am not 130am. All the restaurants, I have gone to a few, are clean including bathrooms. I drive from LA to enjoy this treat. All are either in Pasadena or east of LA. I wish their was one in the south bay/ LA area.Other foods...read full review
In my personal opinion, The Hat has better pastrami compared to Langers, Canters and Factors in LA area. Reason? Simple and tastier plus overall it provides much better value. The chili cheese pastrami fries is second to none. The only issue at this location is parking is horrendous! But its worth your drive. People are extremely friendly. Enjoy ..
I love this place, for nostalgia and for the food. It's warm comforting and never leaves you hungry. Come for the pastrami, stay for the chili cheese fries!

The Hat is a beloved institution in the area, offering generous portions of delicious food. The restaurant serves a range of dishes, including steak sandwiches, pastrami, and chili cheese fries. The interior is decorated with historical photographs and is clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. While parking can be a challenge, the restaurant is worth the effort.
Customers praise the restaurant's world-class pastrami, which is thinly sliced to perfection. The pastrami chili cheese fries are a must-try, with a huge portion that can easily feed a group. The classic pastrami sandwich is also a favorite, with a good balance of flavors and a nice au jus dip. The chili cheese fries, while visually appealing, could use a bit more seasoning according to some diners. The pastrami is good, not the best, but for the price, it's well worth it. The onion rings are crispy, well-cooked, and the portions are generous.
Overall, The Hat is a go-to spot for classic, old-school Los Angeles pastrami dishes that have kept customers coming back for over 25 years. It's an experience place, with good food and prices, and despite the long lines and limited parking, it's worth the trouble.
