| - My boyfriend and I were seeking the best reuben in Madison. Article after article suggested coming here. So we ordered to go and hoped we wouldn't be let down.
Funnily enough I'd noticed this place a few times while driving down Atwood. I thought Stalzy's looked really nice and was exactly the kind of place my boyfriend and I would love. I'm glad I got to stop by.
We asked the nice female on the phone what she suggested. She told us that there were two types of reubens, the corned beef reuben, and the pastrami reuben. So we got both along with the German potato salad, macaroni salad, and the borscht.
Unfortunately when I was splitting up the reuben halves I accidentally forgot which was which. Both my boyfriend and I are pretty sure we preferred, what we thought was, the corned beef reubun. I'm not sure if it's the best reuben I've ever had, but it was certainly phenomenal. I will definitely be coming back here in the future when I have a reuben craving.
The macaroni salad wasn't exactly to my liking, but it wasn't bad. My boyfriend absolutely loved it though. I ended up taking the German potato salad. German potato salad meaning it's served hot and with bacon. It tasted just like what my grandmother used to make for breakfast when I was a kid. It was amazing and I can't wait to get more later.
As for the borscht, I'm so upset. I was ecstatic when I saw a restaurant in Madison serving it. I was pumped the whole way there. Imagining a delicious bowl of bright red soup filled with plump beets and a dollop of sour cream. I was even more ecstatic when I heard it came with a German dinner bun. Much to my disappointment, I came home with a brown, unappetizing, bowl of mushy dirt tasting paste. The bun was good and they did include the dollop of sour cream, but the borscht was just so bad I barely touched it.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Just don't get the borscht.
