Ruben's Restaurant Reviews
Love their cheese dogs on seeded buns they seem steamed. The best!
Rubens have the best cheese hotdogs with onions. Love the black seed hotdogs buns. They are consistant with it not like Armens in Gary. Rubens a good place to go!
they might as well advertise closing time as 9:30, if you show up 30 minutes before closing they already have everything down and ready to close but let you order out of the very few things they can still do. you think they would tell you that if you called 5 minutes before you show up but you'd be wrong they will just say they "open" when at best are one quarter open

Ruben's Restaurant, known for its iconic design and jolly fat man statue, has mixed reviews. The staff is friendly, and the hot dogs, Italian beefs, and fried pickles are highly praised for their flavor. Customers have described the food as melt-in-your-mouth and amazing, with some stating they would definitely return. The fries are considered great, though they can cool down quickly and need to be served fresh. The Reuben sandwich has received positive feedback, but some recent comments mention that food quality has declined, with a few customers receiving cold sandwiches. The restaurant has a history of delicious chili dogs and Italian beefs, and prices are seen as remarkable. Overall, Ruben's Restaurant has the potential to be a favorite spot in NW Indiana, but it needs to improve consistency in food quality and serving temperature.
