Need a Reuban... Not!
Recently, Arby's commercials have been promoting their reuben and their "super-reuben" a reuben/rachel hybrid. For the uninitiated a rachel is a turkey reuben. Reedsville is outside of my normal stomping grounds but the local Arby's has been closed due to a tendency for people to confuse the dining room with a drive through. This is my second attempt to hit a non local Arby's. The first ended in frustration when I attempted to visit one that closed at 9 pm. "Needing a Reuben Now" must not occur after 9 pm in Bradford, PA.
I visited the Reedsville Arby's at about 8 pm and found it reasonably active. I ordered the reuben with a side of curly fries and a drink. The reuben came wrapped in paper. The bread was stale and dry. It might have been toasted but it didn't seem to be. The surface of the bread had an odd flat texture, almost polished. In addition the bread was bland, chewy and stale. The pastrami had flavor like it had been boiled for a while or perhaps microwaved. The dressing was watery and the cheese was practically non existent. Yes, this was a reuben and perhaps it would satisfy a craving if there was nothing better available.
The only thing that saved me from great disappointment was low expectations.
