| - This restaurant is truly (1) a Montreal experience, (2) tourist worthy, (3) a local favourite.
Having been here many many times, I come back to the restaurant when I really crave a classic Western menu with a twist of Montreal French cuisine.
Southern Crisp Chicken Tender Salad:
This salad is by far my FAVOURITE, and I always order this ever time I go to this restaurant. The chicken tenders are so crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, the abundant vegetables are so fresh and goes well with their barbecue ranch dressing. It also comes with some three cheese garlic bread. The salad is actually big enough to be a full entrée, at least I think so. I strongly recommend this salad.
Rocky Top chicken:
It comes with two grilled chicken breasts cooked just right, with mashed potatoes, barbecue sauce, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, corn, and black beans on top. Because the dish has two fillets instead of one, it is very filling, and almost enough food for two! Ken and I usually get the salad and chicken, and share both between the two of us. I don't know Reuben's does it, but their chicken fillets in this dish are cooked fully through yet they are not dry, as chicken breasts can be at times.
Smoked Meat Sandwich:
My husband recommended the smoked meat sandwich to me when we first visited the restaurant on our first date. Obviously, Montréal is very famous for their smoked meat, and Reuben's may not be the best place to try them. However, now that I've tried smoked meat sandwiches at all of the top rated places, I must say that my husband was right when he said Reuben's smoked meat sandwich tastes pretty good. It is not a bad choice!
Strawberry cheesecake:
By the restaurant's bar, you can see their dangerously good desserts luring you in!
We tried their cheesecake on one of our visits, and I'll say that it is one of the better places you can go for cheesecake. Of course, I have my favourites, but Reuben's cheesecakes come quite close!
The restaurant usually has long lineups during dinner peak times, so make sure to reserve a table before you go if you don't like waiting. Their service can be on and off, usually depends on how busy they are, which can be understandable. I've had pleasant and mediocre experiences throughout the numerous times I've visited, so service averages out to 3/5.
