Philadelphia Tavern - Manassas, VA

We were down in Manassas for a Jimmy Buffet concert and were looking for a place to eat. The Philadelphia Tavern is a hole in the wall with an old feel to it. The walls are stone with a textured metal ceiling and copper covered tables.

The house specialties are marked on the menu with a liberty bell and the reuben was one of them. I ordered it with high hopes and was not disappointed.

The corned beef was hot and flavorful. It had been chopped on the grill into fine pieces and tossed with the sauerkraut. The cheese was hot and melted. The bread was a marble rye and was nice and crispy.

My only complaint is that the sandwich was the tiniest bit soggy in the middle.
