"The Deal: (Bar seating only) $8 cocktails, $5 beers, $7 wine by the glass and $5-15 appetizers. In a world where cocktails can cost upwards of $18, finding a crisp martini for under ten bucks is like finding an open parking spot right when you pull into the Galleria garage. But the Jewish deli Kenny & Ziggy’s has $8 cocktails every weekday, including the house martini. Snag a barstool and throw back a couple with a plate of house pickles or fried kreplach." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Jewish deli staples have graced the Kenny & Ziggy’s menu since it opened its doors more than two decades ago in 1999. One of the most iconic among them is its soul-warming matzo ball soup: The brothy dish is a treat year-round, despite what Houston’s unpredictable weather calls for, and is known to work miracles when you’ve got a bad case of anything. Also not to be missed are its sky-high pastrami or corned beef sandwiches, Hungarian-style stuffed cabbage, ample breakfast plates, and lox and schmear bagels." - Marcy de Luna
"It’s incredibly tempting to dine in at this bustling New York-style delicatessen nestled in Post Oak Plaza, and if you can, you should, but sometimes, work (or the couch) calls. Fortunately, Kenny & Ziggy’s prides itself on “schleping” its menu nationwide. Aside from offering some of its diner favorites and a load of pies on Goldbelly, local diners can also order its breakfast staples, appetizers, sandwich trays, and smoked fish platters to go. Place your order online for pickup or delivery through the Favor or DoorDash app." - Brittany Britto Garley
"With an abundance of housemade desserts prominently showcased in glass cases at Kenny & Ziggy’s, choosing one is no simple feat. Layer cakes and cheesecakes will surely entice, but consider the coconut cream pie for something truly exquisite. If you still have room, sit at the soda fountain where you can find old-fashioned items like root beer floats and hot fudge sundaes." - Marcy de Luna
"This charming New York-style delicatessen offers a giant menu with countless breakfast favorites for every craving. Diners can go simple with hot and cold cereals, loaded plates of blintzes and pancakes, breakfast tacos, bagel and lox, shakshuka, omelets, or so much more. Best of all, breakfast here is what you make it. The restaurant also offers a wide variety of sandwiches, dessert cases full of pies and cakes, and a cute soda fountain where ice cream float dreams are made." - Marcy de Luna
