I love a good Reuben as well.
However, although there are a few places around here that can do a decent one, I haven't found one that is great.
Every time we go to California, we end up at Brent's Deli in Westlake Village. Probably about the best that I've ever had.
Reubens were invented in Omaha and the best Reuben I've ever had was at Barrett's Barleycorn on Leavenworth Street. Routinely get off I-29 at Council Bluffs and cross the river just to get this delicacy. Close runner up was Bob's in Sioux Falls which has since moved to larger haunts and changed names, but hopefully not recipes. Never had a really good Reuben in my forty plus years in St. Louis.
Used to be a place in Portland Oregon I used to make it to once a year going down there to give them some vacation relief called Roses. Super Reuben's and German Chocolate cake you'd kill for. I ordered and the other guys just laughed then the order a half sandwich and half piece of cake. When they brought it to the table I couldn't believe I had lunch and dinner for the day.
I recently discovered Culver’s makes an excellent Reuben for something that quick and cheap.
A Culver's is opening in June here. Will have to try it out. Found a pic of their Reuben, of course prob looks a bit different in person. But prob good for a cheaper version.

Culver's is great. It's my favorite fast food, bar none. I've never tried their Rueben, but everything I have had there has been excellent.
(Their custard blows any ice cream I've ever had out of the water.)
