Okay so Reubens is not the venerable Schwartz's or the tried and true Dunn's but they do serve a mean smoked meat sandwich. I usually order the Builder's platter which comes with a mound of machine sliced smoked meat{ Fatty of course} 4 slices of fresh and sturdy rye,fries ,slaw and half a pickle but this time I opted for a pound of fatty,well seasoned with some crisry ends meat.
My wife usually opts for the Reuben spaghetti with extra cheese and while still a hearty and tasty entree we've found that they have cut back on the actual smoked meat ends that made this dish so decadent and substituted minced meat to make up the Bolognase sauce...disappointing but there is still enough smoked meat to make it a worth while entree.
Reubens's menu covers all that you would expect in this slick and popular fast ,casual concept and the food has never been anything less than good and at a good price.....but for the true Montreal Smoked meat experience you have to at least try the always packed Schwartz's before the new owners morph it into ..........Reuben's.
