This is a great lunch spot. The food tastes excellent and they use boars head meats. The Reubens are phenomenal and there is an excellent variety of classic sandwiches and some of their own creations. Prices are not bad, more than fast food but less than most sit down restaurants. Takes a while so if you are on lunch break at work I would call ahead.

This place is FANTASTIC! I had the cheese steak AND pulled pork sammie. Both fresh & delicious. Service was fast and courteous. By far the best place to eat in E-Town. This place is an breath of fresh air compared to all the crappy chain restaurants in E-Town. Meatball sub great, Hot Beef is also excellent. Highly recommend this joint.

Very tasty sandwiches! My husband had the Italian sub and I had the wildcat sub. We were both impressed. Elizabethtown doesn't have many local spots to eat at and this place is a great addition. We also had onion rings that were out of this world! We will definitely be coming back again!

The tagline on the menu says "Your Neighborhood Delicatessen" and every neighborhood should have one like this. Fifty years ago, every neighborhood in every major city in the U.S. had at least one deli where you got cold cuts and sandwiches. It was true fast food before that became a bad word. Reuben's has recaptured the best aspects of that era. Your bread choices are white (hoagie rolls), wheat or rye. They have roast beef, pastrami, ham , corned beef, and other classics. There's a grill, yes a real grill, for making hot sandwiches like Reuben and fried bologna ( be aware that the grill is shutdown about an hour before the stated closing time). My sandwich was the Traditional Italian Sub and it was made the way I remember sandwich shops in New England making them when I visited relatives in the 70s and 80s. We'd buy them in the morning and eat them for lunch at the beach. No gimmicks, just good bread and good meats in perfect proportions. If you are tired of industrial sandwich making a la Subway and other chains this place might renew your faith in the great American sub sandwich. They also offer breakfast options, sides like coleslaw and pasta salad, and catering. This is a gem that shouldn't be hidden. Prices range from $2.25 for peanut butter and jelly up to $10.95 for the New York Style Corned Beef, Pastrami, and Swiss (a half pound) with fries for $10.95. Run, don't walk.

Went on the first day, and me and my gf were happily surprised to find a good deli, right next to the house! Keep it up!

Place JUST OPENED, located in an old (terrible - Delano's? - blech) pizza joint on 1600 that's been closed longer than it was open. Was gonna give a chance to sort out before heading over & certainly visit a few times before a review...just seems fair. But since, somehow, they already have 5 5-star reviews from people with a grand (combined) total of 2 prior reviews posted, (2 first time reviewers) in a town where the bulk of reviews are written by that random Miguel who finds it necessary to review fast food, gas stations, & anything else w a fixed address...giving nearly everything 4 & 5 stars... I felt the need to add a little reality to the yelpiverse, because previous reviewers are completely out of their damn minds. (Did I mention that reviews feature (only) "delicious," "excellent," "great," and "fabulous." Well, hell's bells, what more could anyone want? Well, maybe an actual description of what is served? Yeah.) Good: They're trying, service-wise. Staff is polite. But they have a lot to learn. Like making sure everything ordered is actually served. Customers shouldn't have to repeatedly go back to the counter for items missing from orders. They're trying, product-wise. Touches like a bed of lettuce & tomato slice in each cold side order are nice & appreciated. Not as much as seasoning would be welcomed, but, still... Baked goods were fresh. Of course, they've only been open a matter of days, at most, so, no promises that's reliable, long-term. M'nah, m'nah: Bread selection blows (pre-sliced loaf white, wheat, & rye, and Kaiser rolls, BTdubs). I mean, it's not Wonderbread-bad, but it's not what anyone who has eaten at a deli not housed in a gas station convenience store thinks of. Sub / hoagie rolls, at minimum. Baguettes. At least something with a little tooth, a little crust. Effing pathetic. Prices are a tad high for sandwich loaf bread-sized sandwiches with little to no toppings (lettuce / tomato, only), particularly for this area, though there was certainly a fair (not generous-Frank's level, for less than half the price) amount of deli meat. They need some actual recipes. There was literally no seasoning (salt, pepper, tartness, sweetness, or flavor/spice at all) on side dishes. Pasta salad tasted like a gooey (was it Crisco?), slightly crunchy (celery), flavorless pasta. The potato salad tasted like a gooey (maybe a little mustardy, mostly flavorless), slightly crunchy (celery), plain boiled potato. The coleslaw tasted like preshredded cabbage mix with Boar's Head coleslaw dressing (the best of the lot). Sandwich menu is closer to premade grocery sandwiches than that of an actual deli sammie shop. Everything needs seasoning. Anything. Even salt & pepper would help. A "Rachel" should be grilled / hot. Also puzzled as to why there isn't a pastrami "Reuben/ Rachel" option. Service took awhile - even for cold sandwiches. Hot sandwiches took longer. I'm used to great delis with 50 times as many to-order menu items (hot & cold), staffed by one guy, served in a fifth the time. They had more than 4 staff working (@ what, no idea). Dining area appears in progress (I hope). Be aware: they have 3 small high cafe tables, w 4 (backless) bar stools. These people don't know "deli" from red-ring baloney on wonder w whip from a gas station. ADA-compliant? Good effing luck. Large groups = non-starter, at least at present. Good for kids? WTF? They don't have a kids' menu. According to a "fan," their mayo is house-made. Cuz that's ok to serve kids without notice. Anyone who calls something a "sub," then serves it on pre-sliced loaf bread deserves a rabbit punch to the throat. For the love of G*D, they supposedly serve cheese steak...ON WHAT??? SLICED LOAF BREAD? Kaiser roll? Absurd. Dipshits giving this place five stars are in collusion or have never actually eaten at a real deli (see: gas station food). I will eat my socks if anyone who works here has exposure (even as a regular customer) to an actual deli (no, Subway in Walmart does not count). "Classic Deli" my achey thumbs down. Anyone giving customers expectation of an authentic deli via their reviews should be ashamed of themselves. They smoke their own Boar's Head deli meat, eh? R-iiiiiiiight.

This place is hands down one of the best delis in the area, and likely one of the best restaurants Etown has to offer. A cruise down the Dixie Highway or Ring Road is sure to bum you out with awful, boring chain stores. Just go to Reuben's and save the hassle and disappointment. Service is friendly and fast and I've always been satisfied with my sandwich. During lunch rush they can get pretty busy so a PRO TIP is to call ahead and order it to go.

Great classic hot and cold sandwiches as well as house-made sides! Boar's Head meats really take these sandwiches to the next level! This is weekly stop for me for lunch. Ask the crew for recommendations and you're bound to be delighted!

Great prices, great food, and courteous staff. Not much more you could ask of a dining establishment.

We ate lunch there on Saturday. The food was delicious. The service was prompt and friendly. This is by far the best local non chain restaurant in Elizabethtown. You definitely get great, fresh quality food for a more than reasonable price. I highly recommend the BBQ burger. The pretzel bun caps off a delectable treat!
(5)Tadd T.
It feels idiotic to complain about getting more food than you were expecting, but with sandwiches, proportion is key. A simple turkey sandwich came stacked with juicy, freshly shaved breast meat, iceberg, and tomato, but the thin slices of bread, slapped with house-made mayo and zesty deli mustard, couldn't handle all of that and disintegrated between my fingers, making for a very messy -- albeit delicious -- sammie. All it needed was heartier bread to make it perfect.

Good, not great. We were travelling through E-town and sought this out based on yelp reviews. We had a Reuben, turkey club, 2 sodas and two bags of chips and it was $20. Not crazy but a bit high. My Reuben was good as was BF's club (although it was a bit over toasted). They do use Boar's Head which is good, but the signs say "grill closes at 4" even though they close at 6 which doesn't feel like they're service oriented. The decor is 50s diner which seems odd for a deli. Overall the food was pretty good, but not worth going out of the way for. This place doesn't feel like it will be open long. I don't mean to be harsh, just being honest.

I'm somewhat picky about what good food is and I feel Reuben's does a great job at providing quality food at a reasonable price. Most everything I order there is very fresh and tastes great. Ron (the owner) is happy to fix anything you feel is wrong -- you just need to let him know. They smoke all their meats on site and use Boar's Head products. To me, Reuben's Stands out from all the other (chain) restaurants Etown has to offer. Sometimes they have choplotle chicken soup or some other tasty item not on the menu or on the daily dry erase board, so it can't hurt to ask about other foods. (I just found this out recently) The staff is young folks in their early 20's and friendly. Seating has recently gotten better with the addition of some tables and chairs to the existing taller, round tables with stools. The store has a 50's theme to it which seems fitting of a time when stores didn't serve frozen foods and preservative filled products, as this place doesn't either. This is a small, not too old business. With time, I hope it grows and can accommodate people even better. Support your local neighborhood shops! This one certainly deserves it!

Visited this store for the first time today. Came in around 4:05 pm and all the chairs were up (as if they were about to close..closing time was three hours away). They put one set of stools down for us. Grill closes at 4pm but we only wanted cold food. they seemed surprised to actually have customers this time of day. The food was good and was brought out in a reasonable amount of time. As mentioned in an earlier post, you do have to remind them to give you the complete order (they should work on this...its a real easy fix). The place is clean and well organized but the dining room is large compared to the seating available (it makes the place seem empty). The staff (3-4 working ) seemed to enjoy socializing with each other (in fairness there were no customer there but us). The pricing is actually a little high for the area but I'm no expert on pricing these products. Cake on display was old and overpriced. They can easily fix that if they know about it. It's minor. Overall it was a good experience and I will return. I'm in this area a lot.

We have an office just down the road, so we eat there quite frequently. I like their food and is very tasty. Great alternative to fast food joints!! For those of you who complain about them closing early, they close early because they can not complete against the big chain restaurant all over town. They use to be open later but found their best business time was afternoon and breakfast. How do I know? I asked them, great friendly staff. love the sweet potato fries!!
(5)Angie C.
We went here for lunch between baseball games. The pulled pork sandwich and the grilled chicken sandwich were delicious! If we lived here we would definitely come back!
(5)Chris B.
EVERYTHING I have tried here is fantastic! They smoke their own meat in-house and cut their own fries, which are great. Don't forget to grab a Ski out of the cooler, too. Keep in mind, each sandwich or meal is made to order so you may not be in and out very quickly. Well worth the short wait. Only bad thing, no seating for parties larger than 3-4.
