I stopped in at Rhino Market & Deli to continue my adventure around Charlotte to find the best reuben, and I was surprised to find the reuben was served with pastrami even though they also had corned beef on the menu. With two of us on the adventure it made sense to get two different reubens and split them - one Rhino style with pastrami and creole mustard and one classic with corned beef and russian. Sadly, I wasn't a fan of either one.
Starting with the typical Rhino reuben, the proportions were just off. Although the pastrami was delicious, there was barely any on the sandwich. Most of the bites I had were primarily kraut and mustard - my two least favorite parts of a reuben (or modified reuben, most reubens don't have mustard). The couple bites that had OK proportions were good, but I was pretty unhappy with the overall reuben. Plus, the bread was horribly soggy which is yet another unpleasant experience with a reuben.
On to the modified (traditional) reuben. It was basically the same as above except loaded with corned beef - no idea why one sandwich had 3 times the meat as the other. The bread was again soggy, but at least with russian mixed in the flavors worked out OK. Unlike the pastrami, the corned beef was just your average typical deli meat and nothing special (maybe that's why they serve it with pastrami).
Although Rhino Market is a fun spot to hang out, I'd recommend avoiding the reuben based on my experience.
