Awesome food, when our crew worked in our downtown facility we always bought food from them. Burgers to coffee everything I ever ordered from there was very tasty.

UPDATE: THEY ARE CLOSED :(There are things in life you don't forget, and "The Joey " Reuben served at Reuben's is one of those things.Unfortunately their physical location is no more... they were pretty much forced to close their doors indefinitely because of the laws put in place by Roy Cooper due to COVID-19.They do however have a food truck, so do a quick online search and track down this sandwich - you won't regret it.

This place has probably the best pastrami I've had in Raleigh. If you want a really good Reuben sandwich, this is your place. We came across it through a delivery app and we're so glad we did. Support local restaurants if you can!

First off, no one acknowledges you as you enter, all of the employees will avoid you if they can. Secondly I was the only person in the restaurant and it took 20 minutes for a bacon, egg and cheese bagel. It's not like the had to cook fresh bacon, because it was already cooked prior. .Lastly, it was that great. What a waste of time and money.

I really love Reuben's for breakfast or lunch. I work close by and it's quick and easy to dine in or grab and go. The value and quality of food and service are top for downtown. I really recommend them.

Ordered the Big Fish. The tuna salad cooked and overcooked and grilled like a crabcake, the cheese was cold and not melted, the tomatoes were mush. This was the most disgusting tuna melt/sandwich that I have ever ate. The cook in the back was reading the menu to see what went on the sandwiches. This cannot be the way this sandwich is supposed to be made. I took two bites of it and now I feel like I have to throwup. The girl I gave the sandwich back to couldn't care less. Just wasted $15 on lunch.

Today I placed an online order for a breakfast sandwich at Reuben's. While the sandwich was okay, the young lady working the counter/register area was not wearing a mask. It was not for a brief moment either. I was inside the restaurant for about 10 minutes waiting for my sandwich to be made (I was a few minutes early and Reuben's was behind schedule). During the whole time that I was there, she did not wear a mask and waited on another customer besides me. It's inexcusable for restaurant workers to not wear a mask during this pandemic. I won't be going to Reuben's for a long, long time, if ever. The cook who prepared my order was wearing a mask.

I lived downtown for a while, love the food here very much. The cold sandwiches are always refreshing, the warm ones are super good. They are creative and delicious. Larry's coffee is good, and their sweet tea taste good too. They are always kind when I go in there, and the food comes out relatively fast. They do get busy, but 5 stars!

I got the regular Reuben today. Their food truck came to Bedford!! Excellent sandwich! Lots of meat. Haven't had that much meat on a sandwich since I left NYC!
Went here for a bagel and was surprised to hear that they shop in authentic bagels from nyc daily. These bagels are so much better than anything I have tasted in Raleigh.

My sister turned me onto this place. She goes regularly as her office is down the street. The food was delicious. I think just to try it when you're looking for something a little different and something local. Love. Love. Love.

Enjoyed the food for the most part but was turned off by cleanliness. Employee preparing food without gloves, touching hair, and handing money and then preparing food without washing hands. These are basic food safety items so hoping it was an off day as I'd like to try again.

Got a takeaway Johnny Reuben hot sandwich which is a pastrami sandwich with swiss cheese and boy, is it good? Having had a pastrami sandwich in one of the best delis in New York, I can vouch for their attention to details in making it as good as the ones in NYC in terms of both juicy quality and meaty quantity. The sandwich comes with potato chips and a pickle and the $12 price tag makes the whole meal a really good deal.
