Rye Society — Restaurant in Denver

Pros: $15 for a real sized corned beef on rye is actually a really good deal in this economy. I respect that price point and the people complaining about it don't realize how much meat costs. Good on you guys. Your employees seemed happy and not overworked, so again I respect that a lot, thanks for being decent owners.

Cons: Unfortunately, the food is part of the cons. The beef and mustard were decent, but the bread was a bit disappointing, and the pickle tasted like the last in a jar of kroger-brand spears. In fact, for a place that advertises itself as a "picklery", quite pathetic.

In fact, so far as I can tell from a few minutes of googling, the proper word is pickler, and "picklery" started being used by small businesses a few years ago, presumably because it sounds more pretentious. Overall, the place tries too hard to be hip or bougie or whatever, and I really don't like it. Oh well, maybe that's what you need to do nowadays to make money, but I would argue that this level of pretension demands a far higher quality of pickle regardless.

The matzo ball soup tasted bad, but the quantity I got for only $3 and the loss of a tiny coleslaw made me not mind too much.

Anyways, good work on the price point, everything else I talked about was subjective, and it seems like most people disagree with me, so good for you guys! If you publicly post the wage you hire your workers at, I will increase this review to 4 stars, as it will confirm my suspicions that you are exceptionally honest business owners, regardless of what I think of the food. I will even make it 5 if that wage is...

I read about this place having good corned beef and pastrami. When I am in a new city I look for good kosher delis. I never leave negative reviews but this place truly deserves one. The people who work here completely ignore you. They look homeless or mentally Ill. The one guy sits behind the counter and angrily makes sandwiches and totally ignores you. The other one saw us waiting, walked past and literally sat outside smoking marijuana and on his phone for ten minutes. He finally came back in. Long story short my girlfriends burned corned beef tasted like rubber tires and the meat was grey. Our sandwiches and soup cost $83. My pastrami had the texture beef jerky’s and was not edible as my teeth hurt trying to chew it. I tried to say something and the space cadet drug addicts ignored me. I saw a guy come out of the office and asked if he was the manager. He said yes. I asked if we could have new fresher sandwiches because these were unedible (keep in mind $83!!). He said hang on, went in his office and never came out. I decided to take the high ground and just threw the sandwiches in the garbage and went and ate somewhere else instead of giving these riff raff drug addict low lifes what they really deserved AVOID THIS OVERPRICED...

I avoided this place for soooo long because I didnt think they'd have any food I would like. But I finally decided to try it. First off, the cashier had an attitude when I walked in for no reason. I guess he doesn't like money. I ordered a vegan rueben which usually I love at other places. I've never had a bad one. Well, Rye society seemed to make it possible.

I am standing there waiting for my food and I see the cashier go to the sandwich area and started helping out the food workers by using his BARE HANDS to make the sandwich. I asked him to put on gloves. Because ew. And he left and went back to the register.

After about 20min my sandwich was ready and my break was almost over. But I was hopeful. I went home and as expected, it was the worst tasting vegan rueben ever. And I don't even blame the back workers. The cashier wasnt really giving them clear instructions and kept talking down to them as they asked questions about what the orders where.

This place went from a maybe to being cancelled for me. Never ever ever am I giving them my money.

The back workers were actually very kind and professional though. They deserve better...
