I never miss a chance to eat at PQ which, luckily for me, islocated not far from a friend I like to visit who also enjoys eating there.

I’ve been a fan since it was Pastrami King on Queens Boulevard and much larger. Long may it flourish!

Jeff got the most reviews ever for Pastrami Queen/Boca. I only went once because it is quite a distance but the pastrami was very very good. Not an over stuffed sandwich but I was full

The Pastrami Queen in Boca Raton….They are relatives of the owners in NYC. Who all trace back to the late great Pastrami King of Queens, NYC. Which was a larger place and hummed for quite a few years. PK is now out at Merrick Long Island. The menu now includes traife. Back in the day there was no traife in delis that served kosher style food. No disgusting Ruben sandwiches at Katz’s which they now have. No BLTs and no shrimp salads

The unsung hero at Katz’s is the big fat plump spicy garlicky skin popping knockwurst with lots of kraut on the side. Skip the knoblewurst

Are either of you old enough to remember when Pastrami Queen was Pastrami King near the courthouses in Queens and really smoked its own pastrami?

How about the REAL Pastrami King in Williamsburgh, which died in the late 1970s? Nothing since has even remotely compared.

Agreed that Pastrami King in Williamsburg, owned by the Kaplan family, was the best. They opened the one on Queens Blvd in the 60’s, but its quality had declined sorely by the time it closed in the late 90’s/early 00’s.

Sorry, Jan van Goyen, but Katz’s was never kosher and has always served things like cheeseburgers. Henry’s was kosher, 3 doors down from Katz’s, and infinitely better.
