Honestly didn't know what was good. Went with the world famous pastrami dip sandwich and a order of large fries. $19 bucks but the sandwich has plenty of meat and their was a lot of fries. The pastrami sandwich was excellent the hotter the fries the better. They also have this fries and chilli, pastrami, a pile of tomato and onion that looked awesome. And it's huge. Maybe next visit.

The Hat is a classic establishment.Their pastrami is delicious and the vibe inside feels like a 1960s diner.Food is served hot and quickThe pastrami chili cheese fries are a must try. They load up a whole 2x2 drink tray loaded with fresh fries, hot chili and a mountain of pastrami on top.It is Enough to put anyone into a food coma.The Hat also has a full menu of hot and cold sandwiches and chili dogs

I love...love....love....the pastrami sandwich and chili fries. I have no words to describe because I am too busy salivating for it...even now. Great food, great people....and I strongly recommend. I wonder if they can pour some cheese in my sandwich lolz.

As always, best pastrami sandwiches in the area! Been going to this location since they opened (especially if I'm nearby and have a craving for some Pastrami). Pastrami meat overflows over the sandwich. Great fries (although their small order seems to be less than yesteryears). I always ask for yellow peppers and some ranch packets on the side. Still excellent service and kudos to the staff! I gotta get a Hat t-shirt next time! Cheers!

The Hat offers a lot of menu options, but if this is your first time here, the Pastrami dip is where it's at. Although the title says "dip", the sandwich is not really wet. The French roll comes with mustard, pickles, and of course, the thinly cut pastrami ...and it's messy in the best kind of way.The chili cheese fries come in a huge mound of goodness, but not overly greasy. Adding onions equals extra deliciousness. It will easily feed a few people.To help cut through the saltiness, an Orange Bang will do the trick.Prices are fair, staff is friendly, food is served quickly but hot, and the place is old school but clean.

Always amazing any time we go. Closest one to me is about 45 minutes away, but so worth the drive. Customer service is always friendly & efficient. I appreciate the hard work the whole team does. Thanks for more than satisfying our pastrami cravings!

Ordered the pastrami dip and chili fries with cheese. Sandwich was good with the soft roll. Pastrami has lots of flavor and very thinly sliced. As you eat the sandwich, the meats are falling out .Mustard and pickles were the only condiments. The fries with chili and also added cheese was humongous. This can feed at least 3 people. Fries are crispy and chili was very good tasting, plus they were generous with the cheese topping. This place has a drive thru and was busy. Inside they had plenty of workers slamming orders out and the atmosphere was good with the friendly staff. The only bad part was they were out of onion rings and they don't know when they are getting them back.

Best place for pastrami In town!!! If you have not yet eaten here, go when you can! Well worth it!!!

This place is great. I was just disappointed they had no onion rings. They have onion rings for everything else but not for rings. DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!
