Coming from Utah I had only heard about the hype and greatness of this chain. I can now see what it’s all about. I just tried to original pastrami dip. It’s literally everything I dream about in a bomb sandwich.
For being a quick option to grab this sandwich on the go and on the reg is fantastic. Yeah there may be a higher end pastrami at a special deli in some towns. But this is fire for what it is and worth the price to eat!!! Love it! I can’t wait until they put one of these places in Las Vegas for me!!!

Met up my in laws on a Sunday noon for lunch.
The place was fully packed indoor and outdoor umbrella seating outside.
My hubby loves Pastrami Sandwiches.
He’s been a fan of THE HAT way before we’ve started dating. Him and his brother loves The Hat for their World Famous Pastrami Dip. Use to drive from La Mirada to Brea for it.
What we ordered
~ Pastrami sandwich in my opinion is a little bit salty but I’m not a pastrami sandwich connoisseur. My husband does say it’s one of the best. Must enjoy it w the dip, i feel makes a huge difference.
~ Chili Fries is pretty huge! With dice onions on top with mother Load of cheese & chili. Definitely can be shared by 3-4 people if not that hungry.
~ Orange Bang is sweet but refreshing. My oldest son loves this drink. I like to let the ice dissolve to water down the drink tad a bit so it can be a little bit less sweet.
Service was fast taking order and got our items within a good time frame since it was during rush hour, weekend Sunday noon = lunch time.
Drive thru available.
Located next to Ted Craig Regional Park in its own building.
All in all. Do recommend THE HAT if you love a good pastrami sandwich and the dip is a must. Makes eating a pastrami sandwich to a whole different level.
One suggestion I’d make if they can offer pepperoncinis to give the pastrami sandwich a kick of spice especially to those like mee, love some spice with my eateries.

Very glad I stopped here for lunch. I got the pastrami dip sandwich with mustard and pickles, a small fries, and a small drink. Toppings and condiments can be customized on the sandwiches, burgers, and hotdogs. The pastrami dip sandwich was delicious, a very generous amount of meat. The fries were top-notch, and I got the Orange Bang to drink, basically a melted orange creamsicle. Staff were friendly, and I liked the older 60s feeling of the restaurant. They have a drive-thru, but I ate in. I would definitely come back again

Food is always delicious. I had a pastrami burger with pastrami chilli cheese fries. Serving size can be shared.
The man that took my order was pleasant but when picking up my order the woman acted like I was bothering her when I asked for plates and condiments.
It was super busy but they did a great job getting out the orders fast.

Great food as always. Hadn’t been to this location before, but it looked just like the other locations. Friendly staff and even friendlier locals. Get the pastrami chili cheese fries!

This restaurant offers exceptional classic pastrami it’s the best I’ve ever had. Their chili fries are also outstanding. The portions are quite generous, easily enough for two or three people. If you’re heading for lunchtime, arriving early is recommended. You can expect a long line for order.

Its been months since the last time I visited The Hat. I have always enjoyed their signature pastrami sandwich and onion rings–same thing every time. Today I noticed the price has increased, no surprise there. However, the actual sandwich has changed. It felt smaller, the meat thinner, and the bread was soggy when I got home. Something that has never happened before. I like to start by eating the pastrami that spills over the sides and was not able to due to the fact that it seemed pre-portioned, and that’s was my favorite part whenever I open the yellow wrapper. The onion rings were good, those are still delicious. Tonight was the first time I was not happy with my dinner from The Hat.

I had a great experience at The Hat in Brea! The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. I ordered the Chili Fries and the Pastrami Dip, and both were fantastic. The pastrami was flavorful and tender, and the chili on the fries was rich and hearty. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re craving a satisfying meal with big portions. I’ll be coming back for sure!

The pastrami dip is one of a kind, but the onion rings are to die for.
