Not enough sauce and WAY too much corned beef. Left half the stuff on the plate and at $5.50 a sandwich this is not acceptable. :)

I was thrilled to submit a Reuben review from the road, so I hope my enthusiasm does not taint my analysis. This sandwich was enormous and I thought it was a great value at $5.99 (you'll have to excuse my wife, she's new at this Reuben thing). For my taste, the sandwich would've been perfect if they had used Thousand Island instead of Russian dressing. I think Chris told me that that Reuben's were orignally made with Russian dressing, but I think whoever started to use Thousand Island deserves a medal. Russian dressing does not quite have the tang and people seem to use less of it. The meat was heaping over the sandwich and was cut in thin slices to not "overwelm" the sandwich. That is my main complaint with Shapiro's, the meat overwhelms the sandwich and almost made me nauseous when I had it last week. The bread was decent, but not memorable. Jason's Deli seems to have the taste of a small town deli, but mass-produces food for suburban Kansas City. I hope they come to Indianapolis so everyone can enjoy them.
