Coppola's

The first restaurant I chose on my list to find the best Reuben sandwich in Richmond was Coppola's.
Having been to Coppola's many times to eat their fantastic hero sandwich, I was looking very forward to trying their Reuben.
I arrived for lunch around noon on a Wednesday, and without any wait, ordered my Reuben, pulled a root beer from the cooler, and grabbed a table outside. In twelve minutes my Reuben arrived. My first impression was that the rye bread had not been grilled anywhere close to the Reuben's I've had over the years.  As I picked up my Reuben, I immediately noticed the corned beef, or lack their of  I should say, on my sandwich. Maybe, just maybe, their were three pieces of corned beef between the bread. I was tremendously disappointed in the thickness of this Reuben, and the bread. The bread became alittle soggy after a few minutes because their was too much dressing near the bread, and not enough crunch to the bread.
What I can say good about Copploa's Reuben is that their sauerkraut was very tasty, with an after bite of sweetness, and their russian dressing had a nice flavor to it, but too much of it was spread. My visit to Coppola's to eat their Reuben I must say was a disappointment.
My opinion on Coppola's Reuben sandwich is that they need to increase the amount of corned beef to their sandwich by triple at the very least, and grill the rye bread for several more minutes. For $7.50, this sandwich is just not the worth the price. I think their customers would be willing to pay an exrta few bucks to have a better Reuben. Next time I go to Coppola's, I'm sticking to their hero's.
