Tat’s Deli
4.72,717 Google reviews
Tat's Deli is an East Coast-style sandwich shop in Pioneer Square known for Philly cheesesteaks, built around simple counter service and a menu of soups and subs. It started as a food truck operation and has grown into the kind of spot regulars point out-of-town visitors toward when they want proof Seattle can do Philly food right. The shop keeps daytime hours built around the lunch rush, closing mid-afternoon on weekdays.
