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.
Can’t go wrong with chili cheese fries. You can add pastrami on it too. I personally think the pastrami is a little too salty but my bro loved it. There is plenty of parking! They have a drivethru but I find going inside is much quicker.
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. Features: No mask mandates or temperature checks.
