Looking for a proper reuben sandwich in Sydney? Lenny Briskets has the best sandwiches and I would religiously follow their food truck around town all of last year. They’ve recently opened a bricks and mortar store in Darlinghurst and I could not be happier. Take a seat at the counter and enjoy dinner and a show, not only are their sandwiches delicious but they have the CORRECT meat ratio, let me show you.

This is the New Amsterdam with bbq brisket, American cheese, fire roasted red peppers and Russian dressing. This is my go to order, I love the combination of melty cheese on the brisket and the hit of smoky sweetness.

The Double El Grande is ½ kilo of smoked pastrami on rye and this is a monster of a sandwich. Yes it’s a lot of meat and I can never finish this sandwich in one go but I plan ahead for future me. The pastrami is incredible, always juicy and I love the smoky pastrami crust.

I also ordered the Muffuletta which has the most pleasing of layers, there’s leg ham, salami, artichokes, olives, peppers, Swiss and American cheese, parmesan and Russian dressing.

And last but not least the loaded fries with queso, pastrami and jalapenos, this thing is massive and I’m glad I shared.
