| - I've been coming to Rubin's for years, and it reigns as my favorite all-night, good-food-cheap restaurant.
Rubin's offers a wide selection of dishes, ranging from a full breakfast menu with great pancakes and stuffed omelettes (served 24 hrs) to light lunch fare like corned beef sandwiches and salads, to filling and tasty dinner choices - Katie B. has me hooked on their stir fry now, SO good. Most everything comes with a side salad and/or cup of their soup du jour, which is always fresh and delicious. Their Italian Wedding soup is my favorite. Or maybe the vegetable beef. Or maybe good ol' chicken noodle. Ah, hell, it's all heart and tummy-warming, family-style goodness.
And then there's the dessert case up front. Cheesecake, undoubtedly some Death-by-Chocolate concoction, tiramisu and carrot cake... though I have to say my favorite is their cassata cake, there's nothing like it.
The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and home to a fish tank with some giant fish. I'm talking some HUGE fish. After so many years of coming here (oh my God, it's been 7 years), I know the manager Tony and a few of the regular servers, and they are great people, accomodating and friendly and all-around just nice.
Rubin's is a great place for a midnight snack, a dinner with friends or family, or even a large group outing - we brought about 20 people in once in the middle of the night with no hiccups in service. Grilled cheese or grilled chicken, whatever suits your mood - it's all good here.
