Classic Montreal smoked meat! Personally this is my favorite smoked meat in Montreal. The menu offers many options, most of which come in large portions. The food is simple but delicious. The smoked meat is perfect to my taste, not too salty or greasy. The pickles are awesome! I've also had their salads and they come in the size of 2 regular salads but for the price of one (yay!).
While I enjoy the classic old-timey vibe of Reuben's, I think the restaurant could use a makeover to make it look more polished and give it a nicer finish (but that might just be my inner hipster talking). It seems like it's all over the place with the retro furniture, the different color palettes, and the multiple big screen TVs that are dispersed randomly. The service was also slow on different occasions when I was there.
Overall, an uncomplicated and generous diner for some smoked meat.
