greasy or soggy bread. Not the correct corned beef to swiss ratio OR the dreaded coleslaw instead of kraut.

A bad Reuben is not worth eating. I'm sure the same is true for a bad patty melt. All things being equal, I'll take a Reuben.

My hebrew name is Reuben. If I am what I eat, then I must eat what I am - Reuben.

Besides, since all of the meat in a Reuben has already been pre-cooked, there is no danger from an undercooked Reuben. An undercooked patty melt can wipe out a city.

No - I didn't. Denny's? Is that better than Waffle House?

I agree. A real jewish deli somewhere at least... Maybe should have gone to Hello Deli in Exton, before it closed.

I never had a reuben at Exton Diner, but everything else there is pretty mediocre.
