I was able to get today's special grilled pastrami Rueben made on gluten free bread and it was delicious and had great quality meat. There is both street parking and a lot adjacent and it's walking distance from the train station. Restroom was clean and well stocked.

I had their Italian Sub which was delicious with loads of meat. Their Italian dressing was amazing. My wife had their Daily Special..Hot Pastrami sandwich on GF bread. Sandwiches are made in house and brought to your table. They also offer takeout home meals ..all homemade. Can't wait to go back and try one of their soups, especially on a cold winter day.

This is Disneyland for a FatGuy. I never took up tobacco,…read moreI'm a sensible imbiber of Alcohol, and but for a VERY few exceptions (and periods in my history) I wasn't drawn to recreational drugs. Lunchmeat and sausages, though... Thoroughly, positively, indubitably, and absolutely addicted throughout all of my 72 years. Mea culpa, pwned, signed, sealed, and delivered. (Yes I know that shit is NOT good for you or me; and I have, here in my dotage, adapted at least a smidgen of discipline in my consumption of said foodstuffs) But stepping into Reams is hard, my Brothers and Sisters, it's HARD. Temptation in the air, from the butcher shop aroma; Temptation in the eyes, from the never-ending displays in the cases, Temptation in situ from the beckoning samples placed like land mines throughout the store, and the myriad namecards everywhere you look. Temptation to cross gluttony off the "mortal sin" list, or at least create a scheme to take a parcel of fresh Bratwurst to one's next confession; slipping it to the padre hoping the penance is to leave the Mustard off the links for a week or two. I won't even try to describe the treats in store. There's just too much. And it goes beyond charcuterie. The steaks, the chops, the prepared meats. All top top quality. There's condiments, baked goods, wine and beer, even stuff for your dog. Want weird stuff? Offal and innards? It's all there. Seafood, too. And if you're one of those guys (like me) who dig "sausage stix" and Jerky, their home-made offerings are nonpareil. Ditto for their home-made potato salad-type thingies. It wouldn't surprise me to find a dozen Grandmothers fixing all this shit up behind the back wall. Here's another example: In the West Burbs of Chicago, the Czech butchers always had Daisy/Crawford Praszky for sale-It's a tasty Garlic juggernaut halfway between salami and summer sausage. Oscar Mayer WISHES they had something tasting this good. It's a Chicago Staple you'll never hear of through all the chatter about Hotdogs, Italian Beef, and Deep-Dish Pizza. Maybe it didn't get as far North as the Kosher neighborhoods, but on the South and west sides...oboy. Imagine my surprise when I saw Ream's version sitting almost hidden on the very bottom row of one of the cold chests lining the Southern wall. I've never seen it elsewhere, except for the echte Daisy/Crawford version. I thought it was a proprietary thing. Welp, here is Ream's iteration. I saw it while I was in line, and as I already had a cart full of custom-cut stuff, I didn't add it to the haul that day, but the NEXT time we're in deepest Elburn, I'm SO there. Every theory has a corollary, and I was disappointed to learn Ream's quit making their excellent Head Cheese. Yes I know, "head cheese" is on the "fear factor" list with Anchovies, Limburger Cheese, Czarnina (q.v.), and Haggis; but IYKYK, this is a significant loss. Oh well. And about that "it's not good for you" thing: Yeah, there's a lot of fat in sausages, but I am without doubt Reams has no truck with nasty chemicals, or cheating the recipes to add bulk in the name of profits. I'm also pretty sure they're using the best quality sources and the best cuts to make their stuff. Ream's is WAY the fuck out there in the far far far Western Burbs. It isn't quite Eastern Iowa, but it may seem like that during the journey there. And if you're looking for a bargain, shop at Aldi. If this was an Auto Dealer, they'd be selling Mercedes, Audis, and Lamborghinis. Make sure you have some free limit on your cards if you come out here to shop. It also is certain you will buy MORE than you planned to. Mark my words. Then again, Distance and price be damned. If you demand pure excellence, You pay the tab without a gripe. But when you make a sandwich, or pull one of their steaks off the grill, or have a snack of their heavenly Pimento Cheese on a cracker; or shook a bottle of one of the boutique sauces on who-cares-what, or took a bite of a Brat with SERIOUS "snap"... You'll smile quietly knowing you got what you paid for. Perhaps more. And THAT is a rare occurrence in these days of "interesting times"
