The Hat - Simi Valley

I had a meeting with my sister at this restaurant near her house. The burgers and fries were delicious, and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was a great time!

The classic pastrami dip is truly one of a kind, although it's not entirely unique since there are several locations to choose from. Or perhaps I should say, several places to enjoy it!

My wife and I visited for a late dinner and decided to try the pastrami burger. Although I usually opt for the pastrami dip, we were craving a burger this time. As always, it did not disappoint. The burger was overflowing with meat and came with the usual fresh toppings. We also ordered a small portion of their onion rings, which is almost enough to fill an entire paper bag. They were crispy and delicious, just like always. The Hat is always a great choice!

A must try so delicious, very clean place and the wet fries were amazing along with the pastrami sandwich yum

If you've ever tasted pastrami in New York City, prepare to adjust your expectations before visiting this place! The pastrami was unseasoned, tough, and overly fatty. Here are a few things to keep in mind: a single sandwich and a small order of fries is more than enough for two average adults; the sandwiches automatically come with mustard and pickles, so make sure to specify if you don't want them. My wife and I have a tradition of exploring historic restaurants, and “The Hat” certainly has its share of history. However, I can't say that I'd come back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has had truly great pastrami before.
