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.
