Reuben’s

I go to Reuben’s everyday as I work close by, the place has Fantastic friendly staff, fantastic food, Reuben’s is a fantastic place, highly recommended

If I’m not in the usual mad rush for lunch this is definitely my first port of call.
This is without a doubt the best sandwich joint in the area, but also the slowest! The produce is on full display behind the large glade cabinet, with the meat still in joint form. Every hot order is lovingly handcrafted, from the carving of the chicken, to the grilling of the fillings and the toasting of the ciabatta. It’s an art to watch, with the final assembling taking place in front of your very eyes.
There is no processed crap in this joint, except maybe the curry which is too tasty to bother caring!
Don’t bother going if you are rushing, especially at ‘lunch time’ and I wouldn’t recommend sitting in, it’s like an old school canteen out the back (there was a dead spider in the corner behind me last time)
Quality food, worth the wait.

Reuben’s is my first stop for a sandwich especially if I am on the move on Belfast City, they have some pretty good meal deal options and you can create your own sandwich from a choice of the usual fillings. I’ve never sat in at Reuben’s but I hear good things, the outside seats are usually occupied by the city smokers. This is a big favourite of local office workers and recently some big corporates have moved in so expect a bit of a queue if you’re visiting between 12 and 2pm.
The staff do their best to keep everything moving but I suppose it says a lot about the quality of the food when people are happy to queue out the door to get their mitts on a sandwich.
I always go for a chorizo and goats cheese Panini with a coffee to give me that afternoon boost — you can get all this for around £6 — can’t go wrong.
Keep an eye on the specials board and make sure you ask what the soup of the day is — they sometimes have a curveball in there that might just take your fancy.
