    Grabbed lunch at Rubicon Deli and tried their Stallion sandwich which was great. The sandwich was moist with fresh ingredients, solid taste, and great portion size. I've honestly never had a bad experience at Rubicon, one of the best and most consistent sandwich shops in Reno.

    Great good great service. Love how fresh the sandwiches are and how quick they are too! The best part is they have the good sodas with cane sugar! Super yum. Oh and u get. Little cookie too!! I can't wait to go back! Oh and angel is the best!!!

    I paid for extra sauce and sauce on the side for the Dom Pastrami. There was non on the sandwich at all and no additional sauce included. If I'm paying $21.00 for a sandwich, please learn to follow instructions.

    I met up with a dear friend for lunch at Rubicon Deli, and it turned out to be such a great spot to catch up. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming--perfect for sitting down and enjoying conversation without feeling rushed. The sandwiches are huge, fresh, and packed with flavor (the bread alone is worth mentioning--it's soft, hearty, and delicious). I would say there is so much bread that it does dominate the rest of the sandwich . Maybe add a bit more on inside of the sandwic. I did enjoy the creative combinations on the menu; it felt like there was something for everyone. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. The restaurant itself was very clean and well kept Overall, Rubicon Deli is a wonderful place to share a meal with someone special--good food, good service, and a laid-back vibe that makes you want to linger just a little longer.

    Add this place to your list for great lunch spots! I've heard their name multiple times, but had never been before. This place is tucked behind the lo-bar off California. Walked into a small location and quickly greeted by the friendly staff. Their menu has good options-- I went with the Rich Boy. Be warned, these sandwiches are huge! I should have ordered the half portion. The bread was sssoo good and chipotle chicken and garlic mayo--- aaamazing. Everything was fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend this place for your next lunch. The dining area is small but if the weather js warm, theres extra room on the patio! Oh! And love the cookie for dessert... I already want more!

    One of my favorite sandwich spots in Reno! You can always count on Rubicon for a quality sandwich with fresh ingredients. I'm always a sucker for a good Italian sandwich and the Grandmother does not disappoint. The half is usually sufficient for a meal but having the whole sandwich is an extra treat. I always appreciate the extra chocolate chip cookie that comes with each sandwich, nice bonus. Rubicon has a nice inside dining area as well as a nice patio space for outdoor dining. I've always found the service to be friendly and quick. Will be back again for my next sandwich craving!

    Crandie Sandwich (blue cheese bread)
    Christiane W.

    This has been a go to sandwich spot for years. We stopped in mid afternoon after the lunch rush. Friendly and great service, also quick -- we were in and out. They offer a creative menu of sandwiches as well as a "build your own" option. Fresh ingredients! I love their bread options. They offer gluten free bread options too. Check out their daily sides and soups menu as well. Their sandwiches are a good size, a full sando can almost be shared or can be two meals. I tried the blue cheese bread and although it's not the most appetizing looking, it's really delicious! The blue cheese was not overpowering in taste, it was perfect. The bread was paired nicely with the Crandie, so many flavors in this sandwich, it was so good! Something about the balsamic mayo and cranberry mustard together on a sandwich, amazing! All sandwich's come with a mini chocolate chip cookie (not GF). The shop is located behind a two-story bar on California Ave. If you're not familiar with the area, you may miss it. But they do have a sign out front. Only street parking available. They offer indoor/outdoor seating, not big seating spaces, but it's available. Overall, always a solid sandwich spot in the area!

    Has to be the best sandwich in Reno! The Stallion on Pesto Bread.

    Service was really quick and friendly. The sandwich is amazing though. I live in Carson City and I'll definitely be making the drive back.

    Rubicon was good. I got the Rubicon specialty sandwich with chips and a drink. Their soda choices are very unique, I'm assuming they are local brands. Fun sounding flavors, they were alright. The sandwich was good if basic. The best part was the pesto and the free chocolate chip cookie! California Ave is home to Reno's sandwich culture, so it fits in well.

    Great deli! 5 different options of bread to chose from from Dutch crunch, jalapeño cheddar, cheddar, etc. all tasted freshly baked. I got the Japanese cheddar with turkey, pesto mayo, roasted bell peppers, lettuce and Gouda cheese! It was delicious!! Highly recommend this deli! All sandwiches come with a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie too!! Yummy!!

    Mario sandwich and cookie.

    Mario's sandwich was good, as always. Fast pickup service. I just ran in and out. The place was busy at lunch.

    The biggest yummiest sandwiches in Reno? Yes! This place rocks. The sandwiches are piled up with quality ingredients, served on their house made bread. Served with a mini chocolate chip cookie. Service is excellent, and the place looks nice clean and appetizing menu.

    Build your own on GF bread 2/21/25 pretty good

    On the way back from a quick stop at the Virginia City Highlands, decided to try this well-rated…read morecafe, and I'm so glad we did! Surprisingly located within a convenience stop (gas station, market, car wash), it was a spacious, well-lit location filled with visual references to nature and Tahoe. Parking was easy and there was plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, giving a slightly upscale cafeteria vibe. My only note is that the tables could have been tidied more frequently. Only saw someone go around to do this when we were done eating. The food seemed to be an interesting blend of Mexican-inspired, mostly healthy breakfast and lunch options. Lots of tea, coffee, and fresh squeezed juice options to pair with. I opted for the "green juice" minus celery. Pretty much everything (including my egg melt) came with top-notch, unique tortilla chips (crispy, whole grain?). I can only imagine that their house specialty nachos would be amazing. The egg melt came open face on a bagel...perfect thickness, moist but not chewy, topped with very fluffy eggs, ripe avocado and a rich melted jack cheese, with perfect (slightly nacho-esque) seasoning. (Much better than what some bagel-focused chains offer.) I will definitely come back for this!

    After my last review there were never green onions put on the nachos again so I'm guessing that was…read morea mistake, and we are quite regular patrons here. They have gluten free bread and one of my favorite quick snack and:or breakfasts is the peanut butter banana and honey on that toast. Feels healthy and is filling. I will probably try the avocado toast again at some point but only when it's avocado season. Love the adult and kids nachos. Add turkey! Adult size is great to share. Open and bright restaurant and lovely outdoor seating for the right weather. Good luck in the high desert spring time. Everyone working is always pleasant and friendly. I love that they employ younger people too. Such a convenient location for us in South Reno. We are lucky to have you!
