Presentation: The sandwich was served as two halves, sliced diagonally, stacked atop each other, and served on a white plate next to the side item and a pickle spear. Against the each slice of rye was Russian dressing, and within that was a quantity of corned beef that folded around the Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. The two halves of the sandwich were stacked, topped with a green olive, and pierced with a long toothpick.

The dining room was a little loud, but overall it was a very pleasant place to eat. The bread was good, and the cheese had a wonderful flavor. I liked how the beef was folded with the cheese and sauerkraut inside. The taste of the sandwich was very well balanced with good ingredients, and I really enjoyed the way they put it together.

This is a pleasant setting. The eight-person booth was something of a novelty, and it was nice to have so many of us able to sit together even if we did have to help the waitress pass things around. The sandwich was good, with good meat and lots of cheese, though light on the kraut and dressing flavor. The fries were thin and crispy. Overall a quite pleasant experience, but rather on the expensive side.

This was a good sandwich! Everything about it worked good. The meat was thinly sliced lunchmeat style, but tasted good anyway. The coleslaw was special with the little bits of apple in it--super good. I had a cup of chili on the side, and it was great. Amy, our waitress did a great job with our orders and service. Nice place for lunch, or just to kick back for a while.

First off, it's a Brew Pub--so that's a big plus in my book. Second was that the sandwich was actually very yummy. There was a nice taste to the meat and the bread was also better than average! Scoring well on atmosphere as the view of the brewing vessels made me feel warm and happy and the fact that you can take home large jugs of your favorite brew scored well with me too. Nice dining/Reuben experience!

I tend to avoid brew pubs for lunch durring the work week. It hurts my soul not to be able to order a pint with my meal. However the food here is good enough to overcome the pains. This was a real good Reuben. Plenty of meat with the kraut and cheese folded into the meat so the bread did not get sloppy. The meat, cheese and kraut all seemed to be of high quality. The only thing that could be improved is the sauce. It was on the weak side. I will be coming back here--next time I think I will have that pint.

Excellent Reuben! The balance of ingredients made for a truly good sandwich. I had the coleslaw as a side, and it was especially good with the apples and red onions.
