Review Summary

Taken together, reviews describe Reuben's Deli & Steakhouse as a bustling Montreal staple offering generous portions of tender smoked meat and classic deli sandwiches, with standout items like the original smoked meat sandwich and the Reuben, plus desserts such as a house-made strawberry cheesecake and a robust poutine. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as lively and art deco in style, and service is generally friendly, attentive, and efficient, though a few diners report slow moments during peak times or a single rude experience; reservations are often recommended. While most guests feel the food justifies the price and view it as a must-visit for smoked meat lovers, some comments mention high prices, occasional menu misses, and one note about no gluten-free bread option. Overall, Reuben's Deli & Steakhouse is portrayed as a reliable, crowd-pleasing spot with big portions, strong flavors, and a memorable dining vibe.

Great food. Seated & served quickly. Just what we wanted while waiting to go to a concert at the Bell Center. Reasonably priced as well. Thanks!

Fantastic service & always great quality meat! Can't complain when you receive a Rueben Sandwich piled high with delicious cured meat! What really stands out is the very friendly service & customer care that you receive throughout.

J'ai poursuivi ma quête du meilleur smoked meat à Montréal. Je vais malheureusement devoir faire des comparaisons avec ce que je connais déjà.

Le prix est assez élevé pour le produit. Cela dit, je comprends tout à fait l'aspect d'être situé en plein centre-ville. J'ai aimé que l'assiette soit servie avec les accompagnements; pour 29 $, c'est une énorme portion qui m'a bien rassasié.

J'ai moins aimé la salade de chou, qui est davantage vinaigrée que crémeuse, même chose pour le cornichon. Maintenant, si je compare avec d'autres endroits, la prise en main du sandwich était moins agréable. C'était le genre de bouchée qui se défait facilement, ce qui affectait aussi l'uniformité & la proportion des bouchées, qui variaient selon l'endroit du sandwich.

Mes commentaires peuvent sembler durs, mais ils reflètent simplement mes goûts personnels. Je crois aussi avoir un parti pris pour Schwartz. Cela dit, ça n'enlève rien à Reuben's, qui mérite tout de même une excellente note.

Great food, love the atmosphere & service was very sweet. Props to our server Matt. I'd say this is a perfect stop for good food without the business of TV screens. Not too loud & booth seating is the best.

Only caveat is most items range around $30. It seemed pretty tough to find anything interesting under that price range.

Highly recommend their pumpernickel bread! Didn't know it could taste that good!

Awesome spot, with great food, quick service, & reasonable prices

Handled a group of 49 people for us on a Friday night for a hockey team visiting from the US.

Thank you!
