I hadn't been to Rein's in a while, so it was awesome to stop in on 04/02/2023. Staff seated us right away. As we looked over the menu, stre-made while pickles arrived at the table. These are so much better than any jarred pickles I've tried. Our order was taken as soon as we were ready. I opted for the steamed (warm) beef brisket and a side of sweet potato fries. Both items were great. The meats are served on your choice of breads with lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Note: gluten free bread is available for an extra fee; I requested mine without bread. My co-diner got the potato pancakes, which are served with applesauce. Gravy can be ordered for the side, if you prefer savory over sweet top...
I am not sure what happened, but this restaurant seems to have lost its reputation as a New York style deli. I ordered a half pastrami sandwich, which used to be generously stuffed and filling. However, what I received today was a small finger sandwich with only 4 tough strips of pastrami. Even if I had ordered a whole sandwich, it would still have been lacking in portion size. I was also disappointed to feel sick with an upset stomach the evening after my lunch and the next day.
Having grown up working in my Uncle's deli in Brookline, Massachusetts and now living on the North Shore without any great delis nearby, I sometimes crave some good deli comfort food. Rein's New York Style Deli in Vernon, Connecticut (exit 65 off 84W) has exactly what I need! Whether you're in the mood for corned beef, pastrami, knishes, kasha, or stuffed cabbage, they have all the delicious recipes and flavors that will take you back to your grandma's kitchen.
My husband's family has been coming here for years and I was finally able to see it for myself! We were driving through and stopped for lunch! The Matzo ball soup, Reuben's, and knish were incredible! I also ordered takeout from the counter so we could bring home some bagels, rugelachs, and cookies!

Love a good deli and this place never disappoints. Corned Beef and Brisket where amazing and the pickles are hard to beat. I typically do to go but if you have time dining in is great also. I almost never review but this place deserves it!
Always a favorite stop when passing thru Hartford. French toast was just right, thick and done just enough. Note busy time starts about 11am but the line moves quick.
Great place all the classics. It never disappoints, always consistent. A wide menu to choose from. A must stop for the discerning palette.
Always a great spot if your craving a fresh Rueben. They have a a full menu. Great fast service. Also they have wonderful desserts

The food here is incredible, and I truly enjoy the ambiance. However, I was shocked to wait half an hour for two salads to go.
The baked mac and cheese didn't taste the same as the past.
