Katz’s Deli

Small deli inside liqour shop. Pricey but the reuben was really good. Some of the tastiest tender corned beef ive had.

A hidden gem! Some of the best corned beef I’ve ever had. Amazing sandwiches and wonderfully friendly people. 10/10 They’re tucked away inside the liquor store. But with the quality of their food, I think it won’t be long before they outgrow that location and get their own establishment.

I went here today for the first time, and I've only been once so take that into account. There just aren't a lot of reviews so I wanted to give people an idea of what to expect from this place, and how to easily locate it. This place is located inside the liquor store in the back and is just a deli counter rather than the entire restaurant, but it does appear to be a separate business from the liquor store it's inside of. I got a hot pastrami sandwich, which ended up being big, thick chunks of pastrami, rather than slices, but the sandwich was incredibly juicy and delicious. I'd never had chunked pastrami like that, but the flavor was on point and it was juicy and great pastrami. It came with a side and a pickle, but I didn't want a pickle, so they gave me two small sides instead: potato salad and cole slaw. Both sides were fine, but not on the same level as the sandwich. My only real complaint was they also have corned beef and I asked if I could get a mix of half pastrami and half corned beef and they said no, though I don't understand why. But hey, it's their store and their prerogative, and the pastrami was delicious anyway. Also, no, this place has absolutely zero affiliation with the famous NY deli by the same name (I asked).

Great deli! We picked up sandwiches and took them to Verdugo Park. So good. Great corned beef and eggs salad sandwiches. Terrific friendly service.

The BEST soup, owned by the nicest people in the back of a liquor store. Chicken noodle and finally delicious matzoh ball soup in Burbank!! Love this place!

Let me preface this with I’ve never been to NY and to enjoy Jewish food from east coast. This is hands down the best Jewish deli I’ve had in LA. Langers was my #1 but I think that place has been replaced with Katz Burbank. The Pastrami is slow cooked, melts in your mouth. The sauerkraut is perfectly tart and delicious. The Bread is Warmed, not toasted. Served with single pickle, this sandwich is easily a delicacy. 11/10 would recommend. Hell, I’d travel 30+ miles to get one… Pro tip: They are crazy busy so don’t rely on calling ahead, sometimes they can’t grab the phone as there is a Backorder of sandwiches an hour out. Just go in Person and experience the atmosphere yourself.

very nice Deli. i had pastrami sandwish first time i visit....it was very delioushes..and the owners were nice and price was ok..i will go again

Very fresh, clean and most important..delicious! Thank You!!

Best Corn Beef I've ever had. You must try this place. The Owners are the nicest people. Anything you get is great.

Katz's had been opened for about five months. No, they are not related to the world famous Katz Deli in NYC, but this is by far the best 'back-of-the-liquor-store-deli', I've ever been to. Katz's is a Ma & Pa, two-man (actually 1 man, 1 woman) operation. Ma takes the orders, preps the sides & such, and Pa prepares most of the food and runs the kitchen. The service is friendly all around, and you can tell that this is a labor of love. I came in for the Hot Pastrami Sandwich, but I also ordered the Wednesday, 2 chili-cheese dog special for 10 bucks. The dogs were really very good. They had a nice snap to them, and the chili was perfect for chili dogs - not too thick, not too runny and not too spicy. I was lucky to get the last two dogs of the day. The Hot Pastrami Sandwich was also very good (I ordered it with muenster cheese and spicy brown mustard). It also comes with a side salad (potato or macaroni) and a pickle. I was not crazy about the seedless Rye Bread, but I think they have options. There is no place to eat inside or out, so everything is packaged to go. Katz's seems to be getting more popular, so hopefully, they will squeeze a seat or two in the back, for customers to eat there, while the food is still hot. Regardless, Katz's is putting out a very nice product, and I want to see them continue to grow. Kudos to Katz's.

For years I have begged the gods for a Jewish style deli in Burbank. It didn't have to be great, it didn't have to be mind blowing good, just a place where you could get a corned beef or a pastrami on rye and a bowl of matzo ball soup. Finally, my prayers were answered. Katz's Deli is exactly what I wanted and it is great and it is mind blowingly good. I have found great food in all sorts of unusual places...but what are the odds I'd find another great sandwich spot in the back of a liquor store? Apparently high. Katz's (not to be confused with that one) is as hidden a hidden gem can get. Right next to the energy drinks and office supplies section of Village Liquor & Market, is a counter top where you can order some of the best food in town. The menu is simple, hot sandwiches like a Reuben or a tuna melt. Cold sandwiches like a chicken or turkey club. Their meats are apparently sourced from Burbank's own, RC Provisions, so even without taking a bite, I know it'll be good. The sandwiches come with your typical sides of coleslaw, potato salad, or mac salad...and of course, a pickle spear. Unfortunately, I was feeling under the weather and really couldn't eat a sandwich...but a bowl of matzo ball soup would be the perfect meal and it was. The larger size comes with two, almost baseball sized, matzo balls. To matzo ball aficionados, these are probably closer to floaters than sinkers, but there's still a nice bite to them. They soak in the rich broth, but don't get soggy. The broth has that schmaltzy taste to it where it's lip smacking good...and even though I drove back to the office, let it sit for a bit, then ate it...they were steaming hot til the last bite. They have a small pantry of things behind the counter and it looks like they make their soups from premade canned broth and a box mix, but even if that was the case, it was so damn comforting. Then you add in the little touches like tiny carrot medallions and the noodles, it was perfect. Fitting that a Katz's deli would leave someone smiling and satisfied. Katz's however is not faultless. Service is slow, but it's expected when everything is made to order. It is contrasted with wonderful people behind the counter who are working hard to get orders out. There's nowhere to sit while you wait or eat, it is strictly take out only given their setting. The prices are pretty steep too. Most of the sandwiches cost 20 bucks, which is a high price to pay for just meat in between bread...but that seems to be the going rate these days for quality, great food. I've paid that much for a sub par fast food meal, so at the end of the day it's worth it, but it just seems crazy that a corned beef sandwich and a bowl of matzo ball soup might cost as much as a steak dinner. I wish they were open on the weekends, but for now, their hours are 11-4, which tend to be the busiest hours on Olive Ave for parking. With all that said, this place is great and a welcome addition the neighborhood. It probably won't be a regular thing, but when my soul needs some nourishing and comforting food, this is definitely where I'll turn to.

I have been here twice so far, once for a pastrami sandwich and once for a corned beef sandwich. The meat was absolutely delicious and the service I received at the counter was great. They have some nice side dish options, and I have tried several of them. There is a wait for orders however, the first time it took 20 minutes, and the second time was 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend calling in your order in advance before arriving.

Currently a 'Best-Kept-Secret' tucked in the back corner of the Villiage Liquor store, they serve some delicious food! We got a Pastrami on rye, a Tuna Melt, and an Matzo Ball Soup and really enjoyed them. Tuna Melt was so tasty and we'd get it again in a heartbeat. The soup was delicious and such a treat since it's hard to find good matzo soup these days. Pastrami was delicious, but suffered from sub-par bread. Honestly, if they did a better rye... outstanding! Service was great! I'm guessing it's a 'mom n pop shop' and they were super nice! Unfortunately, no seating, so it's only take-away, but it's really good! Villiage Liquor has some nice wines, and is kind of a de facto Bodega. A little of everything.

The pastrami is melt in your mouth tender and so delicious. I would say if you're in a hurry for lunch call your order in as everything is made to order and can take some time

Wonderful little gem of a deli housed in the back corner of the Village Market and liquor store. Enjoyed a scrumptious warm pastrami on rye piled high. The brine and spices made the pastrami extra delectable! The friendly owner Sheldon allowed me to try a sample of his corned beef that which was incredible. He was proud of the special brining recipe he got from Israel and the proof was in the taste! Also ordered a bowl of matzo ball soup which I brought home for dinner. The matzo had a soft flavor of basil and the corresponding chicken soup was delicious and comforting; reminding me of my mother. Take out and can order ahead.

This new, little-known hole-in-the-wall spot felt risky at first--a risk amplified by its limited number of reviews and its location inside a small Burbank liquor store. But the pictures of thick-cut pastrami and the content of those few reviews gave us the courage to give it a try... and boy, am I glad we did! We stumbled upon a gem--a diamond in the rough. Best pastrami in a hat on the Left Coast. It definitely took a while to get our food, but the company of the lady at the counter made the wait worthwhile. She was warm, friendly, and shared their story. And everything was delicious--from the potato salad to the coleslaw, the corned beef sandwich with Dijon mustard and mayo, and the Reuben with pastrami. Impeccable. Worth the wait. Honestly, I'm tempted not to leave this review. I don't want this place to get too well known and have a line around the block. But when you find food this good, it deserves recognition. So if you're on the fence--risk it. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Stumbled upon this place, which opened only a few months ago. Very friendly mom and pop Jewish-style deli headed by the warm Sheldon and Mimi. Walking to their counter you feel like you found some sort of secret speakeasy. Sheldon has an infectious personality and it almost feels like he's welcoming you into his home, he oozed hospitality. He let us know for the brisket and corned beef, he uses the recipe of a 92-year-old Jewish woman he knew that didn't want her recipe to be lost to time and you can definitely taste it. He also steams his pastrami extra long to make sure it's extra soft. Sheldon also let us know he guarantees 8 oz of meat per sandwich so you get a bang for your buck. I got the corned beef and I thought it would be salty but it was actually perfect and very aromatic. The rye bread was super soft and didn't fall apart. The coleslaw was cold and refreshing, sweet but not too sweet. I hope that this place gets some traction!

The food was amazing and delicious. The sandwich lived up to the hype. They took my order fast, and offered me options that was helpful as a new customer. They're hidden in the back of a liquor store. But the counter is maned and don't hesitate to go inside.

Few things to start off here, this is not the Katz that you think it is, parking can get a bit difficult and it's inside a liquor store (no seating inside or out). The pastrami sandwich was pretty damn good, thick cut pastrami (tender), cheese, mustard and rye bread and overall a good tasting sando. The pickles add a nice fresh crunch to and same goes to the slaw. The people working there are a husband and wife, expect to wait a bit for your order, very nice people. The place itself is weird because it's in a liquor store but hey you can grab a drink while you're there. Check it out if ever in the Burbank area.

Read about this place on Eater and decided to check it out. It's nestled in the back corner of the Village Market Liquor store. I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich with dijon mustard, no mayo (mayo is optional). The hot pastrami sandwich had thick cuts, it's juicy, tender and loaded with flavor. There are no tables and seats inside; I drove to the Johnny Carson Park that was down the street and ate the at the park. It was a nice change of scene to sit and eat at the park.

Slow service. Overpriced for what you get. Make sure to ask how long your order will take before you place it at the counter Response to owner: I've seen half a pound in LA, NY, and every other deli I've been to. Your measurement is aspirational at best. I don't need a particular shape of rye to know that

Back again in Burbank and stopped by Katz's to try their fresh chicken soup. Got a large 32oz to take home for my dinner. So wonderful and great taste!!! Curing soup for health. Thank You !!!

My boyfriend had this delivered to my place from New York, as a surprise. I had never had Katz's Deli before and really enjoyed the experience. The different flavors swirled around my taste buds giving them a unique delight. Spicy mustard, sauerkraut, rye bread, and homemade pickles made the experience top notch!!

THE BEST PASTRAMI SANDWHICH IN BURBANK. Honorable mention to the chili dog which I think is comparable to Larry's in Burbank. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself finishing both in the same sitting. The couple that runs the place is super sweet and even the liquor store owner is boastful about having the best pastrami in the back of his store. Definitely on my list of hidden gems in Burbank. Full disclaimer, I still think Langers by downtown LA is still the best pastrami in LA county but Katz's easily takes second or third.

New deli counter in the back of the Village Market Liquor/Grocery Store. Despite the name, they are not affiliated with the legendary Katz's Delicatessen in NYC. The pastrami was very good, even if the sandwich was a bit bare bones. Matzo ball soup was great. Side dish (potato salad for me) was good but very small. It's good to have some real Jewish Deli food in Burbank, even if not on the level of Langer's or Brent's. I'll probably try it again.

Located out of a small neighborhood liquor store in Burbank, newly opened Katz's Deli (no relation to the one in NYC) just might have one of the best corn beef and pastrami sandwiches in LA! And the two co-owners are super friendly and lovely to talk with. Just an FYI, Katz's Deli is strictly a takeout spot. There's no seating available.

First time into Village market liquor, store, Wine and deli. I found myself driving on Olive and I stopped at the liquor store to pick up some Gatorade's because it's really hot outside and the store cook. Steve advised me to eat something at the deli.. I love coming and finding little spots like this because this is what the American dream is built on little shops like this that are making a difference . Had a chance to talk with the owner and his wife Mimi and their menu looks amazing everything by the way that they describe their food and they invest in the time in their recipes. Steve, the store clerk walked up and he mentioned to have a chili dog. Mimi one of the owners chimed in and said today is a special two for $10. The hot dogs were Nathan hot dogs about 8 inches long covered and melted chili cheese and red onions . They were delicious by far. The best chili hotdog I've ever had out in a restaurant.

Forget Langer's, forget any other pastrami place. This is by far the best I've ever had in LA, up there with Katz's in nyc. Great service, just wish they were open later.

Stopped by try their pastrami sandwich and their chili dogs special 2 for $10. The pastrami sandwich was delicious. The pastrami was tender and flavorful. The chili dogs special had a great snap when you bite into it. The cheese and onion with the chili made it tasty. Service was quick when not busy. Katz's Deli is inside the liquor store. Love the deli style facade. Next time, I have to try their Matzo ball soup.

Very very good pastrami!! Tried the Rueben and the seedless rye is fine but I wish they also offered the regular old fashion rye bread. Doesn't hurt to offer both bread options right? I will definitely be back. Hidden little gem!

Life saving matzo ball soup!! It's really a hidden gem - can't wait to go back. Jon

I think they should try the Real Katz deli or Factors in LA. Seasoning. Zero Bread . Zer0 Sliced in clumps the wrong way. No Dr.. BROWNS SODA Can't have a deli or pastrami without dr brown. Hope they get their act together so they can build repeat business.

The couple that runs this little deli are the sweetest most down to earth people. You would never suspect such delicious pastrami and corned beef could come from the back of a liquor store. I work right across the street and we will definitely be ordering from there in the future. Thrilled to have a local Matzo Ball soup option too!

I loved the hot pastrami sandwich. The service was excellent. I'll definitely be back.

if you are looking for quality food at a great price go to Katz's. My normal go to is their Tuna Salad Sandwich and it is such a hefty portion one half is for lunch and the other is dinner.Sheldon and Mimi are really wonderful people and you can have a great conversation while you are waiting for your food. Highly recommend them. Go see for yourself today.

Delicious food to go. Excellent Ruben sandwiches as well as pastrami. Friendly proprietors.

I had a corned beef sandwich. It was delicious! Highly recommend Katz's Deli! PS there are no tables. It's strictly take out.

The food was great and the owners were incredibly nice! I got the pastrami with mustard which was tender, lean, and a 1/2 lb of meat!

Great authentic deli! Loved the sandwiches, ordered the pastrami and turkey club, very hearty- a full 8oz of meat, homemade bread. They were delish! The sides are also great- the sandwich was so big, the sides were the perfect size to accompany it. Came with plenty of pickles too. Will be returning :)

On par with the famed NY deli. Seriously!! That. Good!! I bought additional sandwiches to go and the owner packaged the meat separately from the ingredients and separately from the rye. Mind you, vacuum sealed the protein too so that it maintains freshness. Thick cut and moist pastrami like you've never had in LA or the OC. The brisket was equally good and the sides and the pickles were delicious!! A must return !!

Yay, finally good matzoh ball soup in Burbank again! These owners are the nicest people. This is located in the back of a liquor store that also had the loveliest owners. The chicken noodle and matzoh ball soup are the real deal! I've come here many times since they have opened. Always a home run!

Tables and chairs, you can get a sandwich corned beef or pastrami which we got but had to eat it in the car? It's not ready to be a real deli. The people are vary nice but it's limited

The pastrami is sublime. Unfortunately the bread was not good. If they were to use better bread, I would be a repeat customer. But good rye is half the fun and this was not. The pastrami, however, is fantastic.
