Ruven's

This was truly one of the worst meals I’ve ever eaten. It was actually inedible, as after three bites my mouth was coated in oil, and not only that, it tasted like old, dirty oil. Aside from the food swimming in grease, there was ZERO flavor aside from old oil taste. I’m not even kidding it tasted like I was drinking the fry oil. On top of the overcooked greasy fries, and overdone greasy patty melt, the pickle wasn’t even a pickle…. It was a whole cucumber, that tasted like it was dipped in vinegar for 32 seconds and then wrapped in plastic. Stay far away from this place. Even 1 star is too much.

This is a fantastic delicatessen which translates to a “place to eat delicious food “!and ruvens is the one that serves delicious food. We came a little late all the outside tables were taken but we were seated immediately at a very spacious place. The first thing you see is painting of mrs Molly Pican saying to mrs Cohen. “Hello…&” as well as Art carney dressed as Norton from the honeymooners there’s a large tableau of Brooklyn circa 1899. But that’ll be a background for great deli food As soon as we were seated we were greeted by a shisel of coleslaw as well of an assortment of pickles. The menu was a typical delicatessen favorite foods b but they have two night specials of Turkey large legs which I ordered including two large sides i ordered the chopped liver ( as good as grandma wished she made) as well as sweet potato fries also was a fantastic mushroom and barley soup. Unfortunately that was very filling so I took my dessert home My fiancé ordered the overstuffed corn beef sandwich with a salad. My grandson ordered a large hamburger both very good the menu was extensive more next time. Ruben is located in a shopping mall with loads of parking free My only complaint was that beers are not available. I wonder if with a Publx in the mall if we could have brought in wine or beer

This is a very good restaurant with a huge menu. I brought 10 people here for breakfast and the service was amazing as was the food. The only issue anyone, including myself, had was there was no cell phone reception inside. That part was weird because we compared our reception from different phones/carriers. Will definitely be returning.

First and most likely last time there. All I did was order a brisket sandwich with mustard to go. When the guy finished cutting the meat he walked by me with a mouthful of brisket and said "that's a good brisket, you'll like it". First and foremost, gross, you should not be eating while preparing food let alone behind the counter visible to people. Second, don't talk with a mouthful of food. When I got home the sandwich had no mustard and there wasn't any in the bag either. I have mustard but not deli mustard, it's different. Like most deli sandwiches these days all the meat was in the middle of the sandwich so I had to remake it to spread the meat evenly, turned in to a pretty thin sandwich. Speaking of the meat, I know brisket is a fatty meat but there was so much fat. I did remove a good amount of the fat while remaking the sandwich, there was more than I would have expected. Not a lot of meat left though, for $20 I would hope for more. Still I gave 3 stars because it didn't deserve anything lower, I save those for really bad places. I will continue my search for a good deli in the area. 3G's was much better but their bread was way too thick. I might just go there next time and ask for thinner bread if possible.

VERY DISAPPOINTING: we ordered an all-white meat fried chicken dinner and received dark meat; the fried chicken was burnt to a crisp; the sides -- french fries and onion rings -- were missing from the meal; the side of coleslaw for the roast beef sandwich was thrown in the bag on it's side, and leaked everywhere. What a mess! This take out cost more than $40. So very disappointed with Ruvens.
