A culinary quest of the highest order unfolds: the search for the city's best Reuben sandwich. This iconic deli classic, known for its combination of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing, grilled between slices of rye bread, has locals and visitors alike debating where to find the ultimate version. A recent discussion on Reddit's Boise community brought this delicious debate to the forefront, with several establishments emerging as front-runners in the race for Reuben supremacy.

Deli George

Deli George is a name that keeps popping up among Reuben aficionados. Known for its commitment to quality sandwiches, it's no surprise that many consider their Reuben the best in the valley. The sandwich's perfect balance of flavors and textures makes it a must-try for any serious sandwich enthusiast.

Das Alpenhaus

Not to be outdone, Das Alpenhaus brings a touch of German authenticity to the table, not only with its Reuben but also with a schnitzel sandwich that's been described as equally mouthwatering. This spot is a sleeper hit, quietly winning over the hearts and stomachs of Boise's sandwich lovers.

Roosters Eatery

Roosters Eatery offers another compelling option, especially on "Reuben Thursdays," when this specialty becomes the star of their menu. Their claim of having "Boise's Best Reuben" is bold, but it's backed by a legion of fans who swear by their lunchtime favorite.

Off Broadway Deli

For those looking for a more traditional deli experience, O'Michael's and Off Broadway Deli are both strong contenders. O'Michael's boasts a Reuben that has garnered its own following, while Off Broadway Deli's Reuben is praised for its authenticity and flavor, making it a top pick for many in the Reddit community.
