Juicy meat, crispy fries; satisfy your late night cravings for top pastrami and desire to chill at a spot from a better time,... here at The Hat. Read more
A long time favorite and still holds the bar high for pastrami sandwiches. Still the spot after 25 years of coming here. Tasty... pastrami and great chili cheese fries. They have lots of other items hut this is always my go-to here. Great fot sharing (ornot), but the food sizes are still very big. When I used to come as a teenager I could eat a whole pastrami sandwich and chilicheese fries all by myself, now I have to share the fries with my 3 kids to put a dent in them. Will keep coming back. If you'venever been, give it a try, you won't be disappointed. For those that haven't been in a very long time. They now have a largerparking area in the back as well as a seating area in the back with bench style tables. Read more
Went to another The Hat in Temple City weeks before and can confirm that the taste and quality are uniform across locations.... Ordered the Pastrami Dip again and very satisfied. Good portion of pastrami for the price. If you're trying to be healthconscious, split one for two and eat some greens from elsewhere haha. Beware, it can get a little messy to consume. Read more
Insanely good! The portions are gigantic and the sandwiches stick to your ribs. The pastrami is shaved, not those thick diner... cuts. Its a perfect dip but also great on a cheeseburger. I would order extra pickles with everything and beware of the largefry, it?s quite large. Read more
Hands down, worlds best pastrami! ???? I moved to Arizona a few years ago so when I?m come back to visit family, I stop by The... Hat. Amazing food with huge portions. ???? A pastrami dip, small fries and small drink ran me $21 but you could honestly splitthe sandwich and fries so $10 for 2 people isn?t bad. I wanted the chili cheese pastrami fries but it would have been too muchfor me so next time I will get that instead. No regrets on stopping here. The Hat is the best. ?? Read more
The self proclaimed "World Famous" Pastrami Sandwich, The Hat is an iconic institution in California. After multiple referrals,... I made it a point to visit the original location off W. Valley Blvd. in Alhambra. Portions are generous, but not cheap. I wasonly able to eat half my sandwich. Customer service was non-existent, which is fairly typical at a popular, churn and burn typeestablishment like this. It's sometimes nice to just get a small smile and feel appreciated from time to time too though. Foodwas ok but underwhelming. I actually wanted to get the roast beef sandwich and chili fries, but didn't want to go there and NOTget the pastrami. If I were to do it all over again, I would probably get my first choice.

Good size lot to park on Order outdoor which is nice, has an Easy Coast window walk-up style feeling. Ordered Chili Fries, Chili... Burger, and Potato salad. The fries are very large but can taste bland since there's no cheese or toppings aside from chili, sothey're perfect for sharing. Great spot with consistent quality flavors Read more
