What people say, in short
Market House Meats draws recommendations for substantial Reuben, pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. One diner found the Reuben hard to finish, and another says a sandwich with sides lasted two meals. Several commenters distinguish it from a traditional Jewish deli while still praising the meat and sandwiches. Value is less clear-cut: one diner finds lunch expensive, while another considers sharing a sandwich a way to make it more affordable.
