A family shop with a line out front

Run by the Dat family, opened December 2022. The name plays on the family name plus a wink at Katz's Deli, per the October 2024 NY Daily News profile.

The same profile describes a tiny mural covered storefront with lines wrapping around the block, and visitors arriving from all over after the DatMacPatty went viral on TikTok. Takeout and delivery; no reservations.

Press: NY Daily News profile, October 9 2024 (mirror). Find the shop on Instagram at @datzdeli190. Note: the deli has a second location at 69 Clinton St, New York NY 10002, (646) 669-7234, reported in 2024. This page covers the Hollis shop only.

Why it works. A Guyanese butterflap plus a Jamaican beef patty plus baked mac and cheese plus oxtail, goat, or chicken: three cravings in one handheld stack.

Good to know. No functioning official website was found in our searches (the attributed domain returns an error page), so the shop currently lives on social and delivery apps.
