Had a great lunch here. It's very busy and efficient. The portions are ginormous, don't hesitate to ask if they do half orders, if they can on the dish you are selecting, they will. The staff is multilingual so no problems there. I had the Cheesesteack and fries dish that comes on baguette bread. It was ridiculously good. The fries... More

I come here so often and i love it. The food is really good and the service outstanding. I find it ridiculous that people complain about it being "crowded". Well, a good restaurant is supposed to be crowded i guess!

Reuben's restaurant & deli (Coin McGill College) - not to be confused with Reuben's steakhouse near Guy and St. Catherine - is a "staple" when we visit Montreal ( which is just about every 3 months or so). My husband loves their Jumbo Smoked Meat sandwich and I love the iconic smoked meat "Bolognese"......a heaping pile of plain spaghetti with... More

Had been here in October 2012, enjoyed it, decided to go back on our latest trip to Montreal, May 20, sad to say, severely disappointed. For starters, the male server seemed rather aloof and arrogant, seemingly indifferent to our needs, which were few. Something as simple as the request for a straw was never fulfilled, never got the opportunity to... More

The food was not good, the meat was hard, there was not many customers and the tables are very near each other, you can't sit without ask permision to the other customer in the other table. I was there for the recommendation of TA. Don't going back.

Went to Reuben's with friends and was not disappointed. Service was great. The smoked meat sandwiches were delicious. The sandwiches were stacked high and the meat was deliciously lean. Came with fries and they were not greasy along with the pickle. Not one crumb left on plate! Then we shared the strawberry cheesecake which was extra creamy and satisfying. One... More

When we were at Reuben's Deli on 888 St. Catherine St., we were told this was the family's main restaurant so we decided to give it a try. On entering, we were greeted and taken to a booth and told our waiter would be with us soon. The waiter came, greeted us and asked us if we were ready to... More

Went to Rubens in Montreal for the famous smoked meat sandwiches... Busy and chaotic atmosphere (expect lines) but WOW the food is soooooooo worth the wait!!! Since it was our first visit we plunged right into the piled high smoked meat, BUT as we saw the salads passing by our table we would have liked to try them too. Another... More

Reuben's is a very reasonably priced restaurant in downtown Montreal. The service was really friendly and the portions huge! We sampled the the Delmonico steak sandwich, which was juicy and stacked with crispy onions, cheese and portobello mushrooms, and the Bandara chicken sandwich, filled with tasty chicken and barbecue sauce. These came with a mountain of fries (by UK standards... More
