Give it up for the classic. You will not be dissatisfied with the quality of your pastrami. Location is super clean and fast service. Was here for lunch on a weekday. Sandwich was not salty you could taste the spices. Fresh French fries with horseradish sauce (aioli) well call me a cab - I am done

The Hat have been around over seventy years making their world famous pastrami that everybody enjoy. My wife and I have been to the two Hats location in Monterey Park and the orginal in Alhambra both of them make awesome pastrami. I prefer my pastrami wet from pastrami and the bread and adding enough mustard to balance the juicy of the pastrami heavenly delicious. We came here the Hat in Temple city we notice the location is bigger than the Monterey Park location. The restaurant had pictures and history of Temple city and dining room is big and they have restroom inside the restaurant. The biggest surprise a self service fountain soda machine. The staff are very friendly and restaurant always clean when you step in the restaurant.

Was delicious. The portions are giant. We got a bag full of fries when ordering a medium and the burger needed to be cut in half to consume. Definitely worth a try. Inside was clean and old school looking. Overall happy with the Hat.

I was close by to this restaurant while at a work training and it was a solid choice. I ordered their pastrami dip and it was amazingly delicious. It’s tempting to get another sandwich but one was good. I got to eye hungry and also ordered the pastrami chili cheese fries. Be aware that the chili cheese pastrami fries is humongous and can probably feed three people comfortably. Get the gravy on the side because that was also really good to dip your chili cheese fries into some brown gravy. I’d definitely come back again and try their other menu items.

Ordered the Pastrami Dip. Decent portion for one person. Plenty of pastrami in the sandwich. Not too salty, not dry. Would have wanted a few more pickles in there but it was good as it is. Mustard was not fairly light so it didn't drown out anything else. Would want to try one of the fry sides sometime as they looked pretty interesting. Location is pretty convenient, plenty of space to park and sit inside or outside. The transparency of the kitchen is nice to see what's going on and service is very quick.

Reasonably priced and very tasty. The quality is always the same and I am always satisfied. The fries are always usually freshly fried.

Food is great but avoid the drive thru at any cost. Came here on a Friday night with 3 other cars in front of me and it took me around 49 minutes from getting in line to paying for my two items. These folks must be cooking with the heat radiating off the palms of their hands. Through my experiences, ordering inside is much faster no matter how packed. The drive thru just seems to be neglected half the time. DINE IN!

We had a great first-time experience eating pastrami chili cheese fries at The Hat. I was full after 8 bites, and the three of us could only finish two-thirds of it. Taste wise, the fries and chili could use a little more salt, in my opinion. But overall, it's just a big messy combination of carb and calorie unfriendly goodness. Pastrami sandwich was great, loads of Pastrami Location in Temple City was almost deserted when we arrived at 2 pm on a Sunday afternoon. Got busier afterward.

I got a chili cheese dog and small onions ring. The Hat is known for their large portions so there was a lot of onion rings which is good for value, but too much food for me. It was a mess to eat the chili cheese dog. They drenched it in chili. The bun fell a part and my fingers were covered in chili, but it tasted good.

Food has always been good and we've gone here for decades. Staff is helpful and restaurant clean. The large fries or onion ring is huge, shareable with several people.

I went in there to purchase some pastrami chili fries and was a bit disappointed due to the fact that for one, they warm up their pastrami and then sit it in a warmer from a microwave. And then they would not allow you to grill the pastrami is concerning? Because not everyone like stair food, not well done or cooked to the way they would like their food to be cooked.Besides that the chili was amazing

One Pastrami, One beef dip, small fry and two medium drinks. $40. No problem, we expect these prices. The pastrami was excellent! The beef dip was the epitome of the old commercial "where's the beef" It was a skimpy sandwich. The fries were under cooked and tasteless. After we ate a third of them, the fries began to shine with grease and they were limp. I returned them and showed them to the manager. I then ordered a small onion ring. The manager did not apologize or offer to credit me any refund on the fries. He must have thought I wanted something for nothing. I paid for the onion rings. No problem. He then starred at me with a grin of defeat. Okay, you win. I will not be back to this particular establishment in Temple City, CA.

Guys! Check the price when ordering online and in person. A double chili cheese burger will cost $10 and change in person but online $8.65. This is very odd! It seems the Hat is overcharging when y…
