I had the ruben with gluten free bread and a potato salad. Maybe I'm not a ruben person.. but to me it was just, meh😅 not very flavorful or worth the hype. If you do like ruben it did come with a lot of meat. The bread also crumbled a lot but they were careful with allergies so that was nice. My boyfriend got the cheese sandwich, maybe he ordered it wrong but it was just a stack of cold cheese with bread😭 He also got the lemon cake and said it was like Starbucks quality but a little worse.

Served cafeteria style. You inform the line servers what you want and pay at the point-of-sale register at the end of the line. You receive a number and take your tray of sides and drinks to the any of the open tables in the dining room. Highly Recommend All of the Following: -- Nova Lox & Everything Bagel (Generous serving of Nova Lox. Includes slices of tomatoes, onion, capers, Greek olives, lemon wedge and Philadelphia cream cheese. Served on a decorative bed of lettuce or gluten-free bread). -- Beef Brisket Sandwich (brisket of beef, cooked with Shapiro's secret spices and rub and sliced hot to order for sandwich. About 6 ounces of meat on every sandwich with Shapiro's famous rye bread, or whatever you choosel | 85% beef, 15% rye bread.) -- Pastrami Reuben Sandwich w/ Sauerkraut (House-made pastrami piled high with two slices of German-Swiss cheese, a thick splat of Russian dressing, and sauerkraut in the middle of the meat, grilled to a golden brown, served with a half-sour pickle) -- Macaroni and Cheese (crunchy cheese top and creamy middle) -- Broccoli and Cheese Soup (Saturday Special) -- Half Sour Pickles (Crisp, traditional pickle that's not as tart or as fully fermented) -- Dr. Brown’s® Black Cherry Soda (unique dry finish of black cherries to deliver the perfect balance of crispness and sweetness. Loaded with natural-tasting cherry flavor, the Black Cherry is never overpowering and always refreshing. Caffeine free.) All of the meats, cheeses and salads are available by the pound, half or quarter in the deli. So are the bagels, breads, sauerkraut, pickles, pastries/cookies, desserts, etc.

We stopped in today on our way back home from the Eras tour:). Frank, who made our pastrami and corned beef sandwiches was very nice and helpful for my daughter who has a gluten allergy. John, at the takeout corner, helped up buy more that we figured we would be taking home in our cooler. Food is amazing, as always!
