UPDATE
So Caplansky's proves their inconsistency once again. My mom and I had breakfast here. She ordered scrambled eggs and toast, I had the Ruben. The Ruben was great but the eggs were dry as dust. I wouldn't serve these eggs to someone in my own home let along a restaurant. A few days later we ordered extra lean Rubens to go. When we got home we found that they were in fact extra fatty! We went back to request this mistake be fixed but were met with indifference and no compensation (like a new sandwich) was offered. So instead of apologizing for the mistake and offering to fix it they seem to have decided they take no responsibility for their food. Pretty absurd. The deep fried pickles still rock.
original review
Admittedly, I came to Caplansky's about 3 years ago and was very disappointed. I thought it was bland and way too expensive. Luckily I decided to come again and have been twice in the last two days to revisit their Ruben sandwich and deep fried pickles. The pickles are perfectly fried and just greasy enough, while "the rubenesque" was tasty and had just the right amount of crunch from the sauerkraut. I loved the mustard selection (hint: mix the Russian honey mustard with the super extra hot, yum!)
I also love that you can order extra lean because I'm not a big fan of fatty Rubens
Both times service was friendly and attentive. Lots of smiles. Very happy o decided to try this place again.
