best reuben in the midwest. located at the front of a strip mall, you may overlook it if you were not careful. the décor is very hippie-ish with walls clad with 60's and 70's memorabilia, and the table cloths are all, you guess it, tie-dyed. the layout of the place is not like any other restaurant you may have visited, but makes for a friendly atmosphere.
i am a reuben fanatic so i usually order the rooperts classic reuben. the sizable reuben is sloppy with sauerkraut, 1000 island dressing squeezing out the sides, swiss cheese, and corned beef. the griddled, light rye bread-clad reuben is the best i have ever had, and i've eaten reubens in new york.
on my last visit there i finally pulled myself away from the reuben and tried the tie dye jack burger, it was an open faced burger served on an english muffin topped with lightly breaded onion crisps, bacon, and a creamy cheese sauce that reminded me of cheese whizz. once again, i have to say it was once of the best burger i have ever eaten. the burger itself had a slight charred taste, but not over whelming, and was perfectly grilled to medium.
the staff is always very friendly and the place stays busy, which says something to me. the tie dye grill has become one of my favorite eateries and whenever i am on the east side, i make it a point to stop in.
