Rubins Kosher Deli & Rstrnt

Great lean corn beef , good coleslaw, excellent rye bread but pickles to die for. I would return here just for the pickles. Our service was pretty good and I have no complaints about how long it took to place our order or to get our food. The restrooms are really clean. more

One cold day I was walking through Brookline, on my way home, when it started to snow. It came out of nowhere and came down hard, so by the time I got halfway down Harvard Street my feet were wet, my hair was covered in snowflakes and I got it in my mind that the best thing in the world would be a corned beef sandwich with a kosher dill pickle. Fortunately, Rubin’s was right there. No one was in the restaurant, save the employees, and the kind man at the deli, sympathetic at the sight of the abominable snowgirl that I was, gave me my pickle for free. And then there was that really hot summer when I decided I couldn’t cook because it would overheat my already sweltering apartment, so I picked up a week’s worth of corned beef and chopped liver. This is one of the places I always revisit when I return to Boston. more

I've been going in to Rubin's for spur-of-the-moment dining for over a year now. Despite the service occasionally being on the slow side, their food has never disappointed me. The staff is friendly, and the portions are large and hearty. Moving so far from home, I've missed my dad's potato pancakes, but the large, tasty ones I get from Rubin's on a regular basis give him a run for his money. In addition, they serve breakfast all day (the blintzes are fantastic!) and offer a full deli service. In need of a nice, Kosher meal at a decent price? Definitely give Rubin's a try. more
