The outside and entrance is deceiving! Once inside the restaurant, we were warmly greeted and taken to our booth with menus. Water was immediately served and the waitress came quickly. A very pleasant waitress took our order. We received the smoked meat sandwich platters promptly. The sandwiches were super stacked with smoked meat but were tasty. Being so full, we... More

Reuben's atmosphere, food and service is excellent! I will definitely visit it again. Their Caesar salad, Reuben's , chicken Charbroiled Sandish or desserts are the best! 1 thing though did not like their cheese cake! Maybe it's me. I will visit it again and again

I got lucky enough to get back to Montreal and found Reuben's within the hour of arriving. Had the regular smoked meat and finished with a huge-mongous slice of cheesecake.

Service is very quick, menu is exactly what you want to see in a deli-style restaurant. Their burgers and salads are delicious, VERY copious but worth a try

Definitely a must go. It's not cheap, but the food is great!!! And the desserts... You have to leave a good space for the great (and huge) desserts they offer.

Wow, really great smoked meat sandwiches that melted in your mouth! And if you still have any room afterwards, you could have one of their mouth-watering desserts!
