Katzenberg's is Back

Katzenberg's, a Scarsdale favorite, has returned to their original digs in the Golden Horseshoe -- and it's like they never left ... only better. The seating and tables are spiffed up and the massive salad bar is said to have 50 choices of veggies, cheeses, beans, eggs, olives, seeds and even popcorn to be added to your green salad.

According to their website, this incarnation of Katzenberg's is brought to you by the original owner Marc Katzenberg who has teamed up with his brother-in-law Steven Kranz to reinvent in the brand, with their first opening in Scarsdale. All the food at the restaurant is homemade, including the chicken matzo ball soup and hand cut fries.

The menu is extensive. First there's salad, small for $8.50 with four toppings and one protein, or large for $10.50 with five toppings and 2 proteins. What are proteins? The list includes, grilled chicken, ham, roast beef, pepperoni, turkey, crispy bacon and salami. After you select your toppings, which are too numerous to list, toss it with your choice of one 16 salad dressings.

But there's more than salad. Start out with soup or tasty snacks like knishes, mac and cheese bites or hummus on grilled pita. If you stop by before 10:30 am they are offering breakfast sandwiches, bagels and fresh squeezed orange juice as well as six varieties of omelets that come with home fries and buttered toast. If you like your omelet encased in a wrap, you can do that too for just .50 more.

Also on the menu are hot panini sandwiches on ciabatta bread with creative names like Hot Auntie Rae Rae that includes grilled Cajun chicken, jalapeno, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese and chipotle cream sauce or the Stevey K with oven roasted turkey, roast beef, sliced ham, American cheese, lettuce tomato and Dijon mayo.

There are also 10 choices of wraps, one with pan seared yellow fin tuna and avocado chipotle sauce and another called BLT chicken salad with lettuce and tomatoes.

Just like you can formulate your own salad, you can create your own sandwich too by selecting your bread, cheese, dressing and favorite meat, salmon, egg or what have you. Did I forget to mention the burgers? Quite an array of those as well as a Hebrew National Hot Dog bar for those who miss Nathans.

Sure to be a family hangout, Katzenberg's is offering a kids menu with peanut butter and jelly or marshmallow fluff, grilled cheese, or a hot dog for just $4.50.

All these ways to indulge may leave you longing for the previous tenant ... Andy's Pure Food and the famed three-day juice cleanse!

But put thoughts of your diet aside and welcome Katzenberg's back to Scarsdale on Wilmot Road in the Golden Horseshoe Shopping Center. There's something for everyone.
