The Reuben was excellent. Absolutely excellent. The thing that really stood out was the sauerkraut. I've never had better sauerkraut. It's worth going just for that. There was a lot of their sauce, and most sandwiches would have fallen apart. However, the bread was so perfectly grilled that it managed to hold together. The corned beef was the only ingredient that didn't earn an excellent or a perfect, but it was still pretty good. The service was very friendly and prompt. There are many excellent restaurants in the Chicago area, and Kuhn's has been added to my list of the ones I must visit.
