Review Summary

Reuben's Deli comes across in these reviews as a go-to downtown spot known for generous smoked meat sandwiches, hearty portions, and a warm, atmospheric setting that blends old-school deli charm with a modern touch. Diners praise the rich flavors and careful preparation, as well as dessert options like cheesecake, with service described as efficient, attentive, and friendly even in busy moments. Several comments note solid value for the price and a vibe that feels comfortable and stylish, though a few reviews mention smaller post-pandemic portions or price levels that can feel high for everyday dining. Some critiques point to bread and dressing not suiting every palate or to occasional inconsistencies such as the texture of fries or the presentation of sandwiches. The overall tone is that Reuben's Deli delivers a memorable smoked meat experience worth a return visit, bolstered by a convivial, welcoming atmosphere that appeals to both locals and visitors.

I came from Brazil & had the chance to try Ruben's Deli Steak & it did not disappoint! The food was amazing. I ordered a rib steak & a poutine, & I loved both. Everything was super tasty & well prepared. Highly recommend!
Thanks for the amazing experience guys ❤?

I wasn't feeling well on my way to Reuben's & almost turned back, but I'm glad I didn't. When I arrived, I told the server I was taking out, & he still kindly offered me water - a small gesture that already showed how thoughtful the staff are. I ordered their famous smoked meat sandwich (which lived up to the hype!) but had to step away for a while because I felt really sick.

When I came back, the owner noticed & asked if I was okay. I told him I wasn't feeling well, & he immediately offered me a bottle of Perrier to help me hydrate - & wouldn't even let me pay for it. That simple act of kindness genuinely made my day & helped me feel better.

It's rare to find that kind of care & humanity in a busy restaurant. Beyond the great food, Reuben's has truly wonderful people. Highly recommend.

This is a cute little upscale Deli. The staff are friendly, the place gives oldstyle pub vibes on a classy level.

The prices are a bit on the high end, & you can expect to pay around 30 bucks on the lower end. I went for the lunch menu sandwich combo, & it came with a 6oz sandwich, fries, coleslaw, & a pint all for 30 dollars. The fries came crispy & stayed crispy, & 6oz is misleading, i could not finish the second half the portion was so substantial.

Beautiful selection of pastas & steaks aswell.

10/10 recommend. I will be back next time i fly in for business. Would be a great location for stakeholder engagement.

Shoutout to Wayne for bringing the good vibes & humor. Did i mention the frosted pint glasses?

Perfect lunch.
