Culinary Crescent Moon Ale House, Omaha THE REAL-DEAL REUBEN Original recipe // Endless variations // Always meaty and melty Well-known Crescent Moon Ale House (nicknamed “the Moon”) serves up a rave-worthy Blackstone Reuben. It’s the original recipe made at the former Blackstone Hotel, just across the street. The hotel claimed to invent the Reuben in the 1920s. You’ll most likely agree with the accolades when you bite into the slow-cooked corned beef, sauerkraut with secret ingre-dients, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing, book-ended by grilled marble rye. The Moon’s ReubenFest , in November, features this classic alongside inventive variations, includ-ing Reuben-esque pizza and egg rolls. Located in downtown Lincoln, Bison Witches Bar & Deli identifies itself as a nontraditional bar. Almost too thick for a bite, this Reuben always delivers with its thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami topped with sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing and melted Swiss on rye. You’ll never leave hungry when you order Irv’s Famous Giant Reuben at Irv’s Deli & More in Fremont. Made with a secret Reuben sauce, house-sliced corned beef and Brick cheese that’s a mixture of Swiss and white American, this sammie comes on toasted rye bread. Popular sides include macaroni salad, potato salad and chips, all homemade. Pro Tip: Enjoy two sips in one spot at Cut Spike Distillery and Lucky Bucket Brewing Co. , serving spirits and beer.
