Emil's Restaurant in Braddock Pa.. Not a Kosher Deli, not an Italian deli...but a tip-top quality Reuben Sandwich on par with Katz's or even the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge. The house made 1000 island...just like mama used to fix.

The food was fabulous! I had a hot roast beef and fries. My friend had the reuben. The decor is a bit outdated, and there is some type of droopy plastic covering a big hole in the dining room. But it's cozy, and the place is clean looking. We had originally gone for the stuffed cabbage, but they were out. We had a fabulous time with our server, who was just helping out because they were short staffed. I do highly recommend giving them a try. I'll be going back for sure.

What a pleasant surprise! When people tell you there's this place in Rankin with great food, you think they are nuts. Well it true! From the outside you wonder if you are in the wrong place but the moment you get there, the staff go out of their way to make you feel right at home. By the time we left, I felt like they were all old friends! The prices are very reasonable. We both got the Reuben and it was humongous but I always a FOMO and wished I got the holupki or the meatloaf sandwich... so I am going to definitely have to return. Oh and the onion rings! Bam! So good!!! Tons of free parking across the street too. There's really no reason not to support a place like this.

An awesome Pittsburgh treasure! We came for the Reuben and were impressed by their Friday specials menu. I landed on the prime rib, which was excellent, especially for the price! The whole Reuben weighs about a pound. The waitress was so kind. Will definitely be back.

Excellent, local local local restaurant and bar serving the area for over 70 years. Wide range of menu items including all of the normal staples of french fries, onion rings, etc. An American local classic with full and complete bar and table service. The ONE pound Reuben or fish sandwich is a must have served on locally baked Mancini's Italian bread... Excellent service and very hospitable from the time you walk in and take your own seat when they're not crowded. Be sure to ask for Tera who provided excellent service and representation of the complete menu and history of Emils. I will be back and hope that I see you there. #SUPPORTLOCAL #BUYLOCAL #RANKIN
