Erika's Emerald Diner is a beautifully restored diner that is clean, bright and inviting. The corned beef on this Reuben tasted like real beef brisket: like the fork-separated texture that falls apart easily like pot roast. The corned beef was so wonderful! The bread had a caraway flavor and was grilled expertly. The sauerkraut was okay and the bread was a little thinner than I would have liked. Overall, the beef more than made up for any other ingredients and is enough to recommend this Reuben.

The bread was perfectly toasted, the flavors were lopsided but plenty of cheese. The beef was fabulous, but mild--the possible reason for the lopsidedness. The French fries! Oh my word!
