Have been coming down to Delray Beach for years but had never been to Ruven’s. The family was having a 90th birthday party for a cousin and chose to have it there. 18 people attending and the service was exceptional but the food was even better. I have eaten at several deli’s in the area that get lots of recognition but this place was as good if not better than all of them. I stated with the matzoh ball soup with noodles and chicken which was okay as I would have liked it to have a little more flavor but was adequate. Of course when you sit down they serve pickles and slaw along with a piece of their challah bread. All delicious. I ordered the combo corned beef and pastrami on rye and it melted in your mouth. The small latke served with it was okay but nothing special. The service was very good considering there was 18 of us. I will be back again next year when we come back that’s for sure. Actually may have to go back sooner than that to try their breakfast. I give this place two thumbs up!👍👍

We had planned to go to the Publix grocery in the same shopping plaza. We decided to try Ruvens for a late breakfast. We arrived at 10:00 a.m. and were promptly seated. The place is clean - but the decor does not appear to have been updated for many years, if ever. Water was promptly brought out. I ordered two eggs over easy and bacon. The eggs were good and were prepared as ordered. However, the bacon was not as crisp as I liked. All egg dishes came with your choice of home fries, hash browns, grits or oatmeal. I ordered the oatmeal which was very good. The cost was $11.50, which I considered an incredible value. My mea companion ordered two scrambled eggs, home fries, and a bagel. She said it was good. Her meal cost only $7.95. The service was very good. All breakfast items can be ordered until 3:00 p.m. I would go back.

Went with friends for breakfast. Fairly quiet on a Sunday morning. The interior has wallpaper scenes from all over Manhattan.
The breakfast special is 2 eggs any style, home fries or hash browns or grits, bagel and coffee and tea. Good breakfast.

Our party of 7 had reservations for a Sunday eve. We arrived on time and was then seated. Our drinks took over 15 minutes to arrive and our orders were placed. Almost 30 minutes later salads & soups were served. 5 minutes later we were told that one of the main dishes was not available. We also had to return one of the soups as it tasted terrible. The potato pancakes were burnt The potted meat balls tasted bad and my grandson ate only 1 and left the rest. As far as the sandwiches the bread was soggy and the corned beef was very fatty The fries were so bad we felt they were left overs from breakfast. I have been eating here for over 20 years but probably never again

We’ve been here a few times over the last few years and it has varied. Today I had a Reuben sandwich that supposedly came with fries. The potatoes served with it were like large home fries without the onions. They tasted pretty good but they weren’t French fries or like any French fries I’d ever had. I asked if the potatoes were fries and the server insisted they were but they were not crisp or deep fried. My sandwich was ok. Didn’t have much Russian dressing on it and given the size, overpriced for $20. Service was attentive. However, if I wanted a Reuben or fries I wouldn’t go back to Ruven’s for either.

I ordered a Grilled Rachel from the menu at $17.95. The slices of rye bread were very small and the amount of pastrami was skimpy, definitely not the norm for a good Deli. Three bites consumed a half sandwich! It came with their usual thick cut French fries that were dripping in grease. This was a Sunday at around noon, no wonder there were only three other tables with guests.
I can understand the price but to skimp on the portion is not the way to stay in business during these high inflation times.

It was a trial run for us as we have family coming in for the next few months and want to make sure we take them to really good places to eat. One group is from NYC and Jersey and are used to good Deli.. We had a nice sandwich and the slaw and pickles were very good. I had a pastrami sandwich and the wife had the chicken soup with a Matza ball and she said ,"very good". So we will bring them with us in April when they come down. The next group will be the month after that with eight people.

We were greeted, told to seat ourselves, and provided with menus. A considerable amount of time passed before a server came to take our drink order. We waited a long time for our food order and then were informed it would be even longer if we wanted the hash browns we ordered. The grits were hot, two eggs were put on a large plate and they were cold.

My wife saw an ad that Ruven's had a buy 1 get 1 free burger night, Wednesday and Thursday nights with the purchaser of 2 beverages.
I opted for the The Blue Burger, Smoky bacon, sharp and tangy blue cheese, lettuce, tomato , onion, and a side of hot blue cheese sauce, surprisingly very good. My wife tried the Breakfast Burger, one egg any way, bacon and choice of cheese.
All burgers are 1/2 pound Black Angus beef and served with our homemade French fries, lettuce, tomato and Bermuda onion.

First time in many years. For years I took my parents here and it was a good deli. As I have just moved here I wanted to go back for old times sake. The only good thing was our server she pad pleasant and quick. I ordered one thing and was told it was out of stock. The turkey leg for $18 was very small and the potato pancake was burnt. My wife’s corned beef was an ample quantity but very fatty and stringy. I was never offered a refill on either my water or iced tea. The cheese cake I requested for my included desert was also out of stock and I was offers only fruit pies or chocolate items both of which I can’t eat. I have never heard of any well run restaurant to be out of staples for their type of food @5pm on a Saturday eve Will not be back Shame that a good server is working in such a bad place. She could make a lot better tips elsewhere

We stopped here after a meeting in town for lunch. The food is definitely different with smaller portions.
The split pea soup came with Hot Dogs in it. Wasn't great. The mushroom barley came in a thick creamy chicken gravy. Very strange.
I ordered a Ruben, and the size of the sauerkraut on the sandwich was smaller than your thumbnail. I spoke to the manager, and his answer was Sorry.
To my followers:
Give this one a skip. Too many good places to eat in Boynton Beach to deal with this kind of thing.

We ordered delivery for convenience and the turkey dinner was very enjoyable. Nice to have a restaurant offer dark meat as an option. Portion size is generous and the dinner comes with choice of appetizer, turkey, stuffing, cranberry compote, gravy, two sides and dessert. No need to wait for Thanksgiving! Next time we’ll try the fried chicken (dark meat for me).

Ordered a king sandwich, the sandwich called for slaw and dressing on the sandwich. Got home the sandwich only had meat no dressing no slaw, nothing. Paid $14 could have made at home for couple $$'s. I have called several times, probable 10 times to reach someone to talk about it. Always get the runaround, no one available to talk call back. Steve the manager emailed and said for me to call him to resolve issue. I have called 5 times and always get the same answer, not there, call back. Tired of doing this. You would think they would want some local business. Will not recommend!!

It was our first time there and we will not go back. We waited about 50 minutes to our food, some of the side dishes we ordered they were out of, and mind you we were there at 6:00 pm not late. No substitutions were offered. Manager never came over, even though waiter told him our issues.
Do not go

We're so sorry to hear this. We would never intentionally ignore a complaint. All of our food is made to order, and some items take longer than others. We hope you'll give us another chance...ask for Steve when you return, we'll take good care of you.
