Rubicon Deli — Restaurant in Reno

So there's this couple that I follow online who do sandwich reviews. I LOVE sandwiches but sadly they're from the San Deigo area and many of the places they review we don't have in my area. I get great ideas though. A few days ago they reviewed Rubicon Deli and gave 9/10 and 10/10 on the sandwiches and 11/10 on the Blue Cheese roll. It all looked amazing and I was so excited to find that we had one in my area!! I ordered the Dapper Dipper on the Blue Cheese roll and omgeesh..AMAZING!! 10/10. I also got the Crandie on Pesto and it was delicious! 9.5/10. I also tried the Tomato Bisque soup...I think I will dream about that soup. They make it homemade and it was the best Tomato soup I've ever had!! 11/10!!! All the breads they use are also freshly baked. I ordered each sandwich in the small.. took half of each and saved the other halves for tomorrow. I could barely finish each half but they were so delicious that I had to try. I only had room for a few bites of the soup... so my leftovers will give me a whole meal plus a snack. Also... they sneak a little chocolate chip cookie into each sandwich order. I ate one and thought it was so good and gave the other to my 18yr old granddaughter, who loves chocolate chip cookies and she said it was one of the best she's ever had. I can't wait to try Rubicon again. Kinda glad now that the hubby is out of town this weekend... cause I get the leftovers all to myself!...

They've gone downhill. I get it, everything has changed since the pandemic but, my goodness. Their prices have gone up. I ordered 1/2 a ham and cheddar cheese sandwich with lettuce, mayo & mustard on dutch crunch.

Well, the bread about broke a tooth it was extremely hard, they forgot the cheese and only one piece of lettuce. I took pics and sent it to them and spoke to the owner who said, she is not trying to make excuses but, really did. Lettuce is very high she said, they were very busy with orders, etc. Asked me to send her the pics and, then finally apologized and offered to make a new one. Not going to drive back to that place.

Bottom line, own it. Apologize for your mistake and I would have been good, I didn't need to hear that lettuce cost an astronomical price and you had a lot of orders to do as soon as you opened. Honestly, I will not be back. I don't mind paying the price if it is good but, sorry it wasn't. I would have been happy at Jimmy John's. At least the bread would have been fresh, tasted good and I would have had cheese on my sandwich...

This is quite a find tucked off California Ave in Midtown Reno, a few blocks away from the Nevada Art Museum. Absolutely well worth the search, the sandwiches (especially the bread) are unbelievably fresh, very flavorful and the service is top notch. I've had the Spicy Tuna, the Rich Boy, the Godmother as well as the Dapper Dipper - all extremely delicious. I also want acknowledge their Acai Bowl with 100% pure acai, granola, bananas, strawberries, blueberries & honey. Seek this location out and do stop by when walking in the area - one on Reno's absolute gems. *Guilty pleasure is the amazing...
