The Best Reuben in Downtown DC is at Mikey & Mel’s Deli

When it comes to classic deli sandwiches, few stack up to the legendary Reuben. With its perfectly grilled rye bread, tangy sauerkraut, melty Swiss cheese, and tender corned beef topped with creamy Russian dressing, the Reuben is a true masterpiece of comfort food. And if you’re in downtown Washington, DC, the search for the best Reuben ends at Mikey & Mel’s Deli.

Why Our Reuben Stands Out

At Mikey & Mel’s, we don’t cut corners when it comes to flavor. Our Reuben is built on the traditions of authentic New York–style delis, but with a Washington, DC twist:

• Hand-sliced corned beef piled high and slow-cooked to perfection.

• Freshly baked rye bread grilled golden brown with just the right crunch.

• Melted Swiss cheese that ties everything together in gooey goodness.

• Sauerkraut with a bite—balanced and tangy.

• Creamy Russian dressing that gives every bite a creamy, savory kick.

This isn’t just a sandwich; it’s an experience that keeps locals and visitors coming back.

A Downtown DC Favorite

Conveniently located near Farragut Square, Mikey & Mel’s Deli is the go-to lunch spot for downtown professionals, students, and anyone craving authentic deli flavors. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on your lunch break or meeting friends for a hearty meal, our Reuben has become a neighborhood staple.

Pair It With a Deli Classic

What’s better than a Reuben? A Reuben with the works. Pair your sandwich with:

• Our all-you-can-eat pickle bar

• A steaming cup of matzoh ball soup

• Or a side of crispy fries or potato salad

Top it off with a fountain drink or a craft soda, and you’ve got a meal worth bragging about.
