Description (taken from the menu):
Rueben [sic]: Corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island, swiss cheese on grilled rye.

Sandwich presentation:
The sandwich was cut somewhat diagonally and served on a stoneware plate with the side item. The sandwich was on swirled rye bread, and had the 1000 Island dressing and sauerkraut on the bottom slice of rye, followed by a slice of Swiss and then the corned beef beneath the top slice of rye. Several pickle slices were draped atop the sandwich.

Reuben Ruminations:

Chris Rowland: This is a cheerful little diner on US Highway 40 in Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado. The kitchen was out of quite a few menu items, but the server was friendly despite it being her day off and needing to work both the dining room and the bar. The sauerkraut was pretty strong on the Reuben, but the Swiss cheese was hard to taste. The corned beef wasn't anything special, but it wasn't bad. The bread was a marbled rye that was nice and thickly sliced.

Katherine Rowland: The Reuben had a lot of sauerkraut taste. The bread was grilled perfectly--not too tough. The sandwich was not very tall, but flavorful. The cole slaw side item was a little to vinegary, but the homemade potato chips were SO GOOD!
