Plaza lunch review

[Tarheel Tink]

DH and I ate lunch at the Plaza on Saturday May 3rd. We had the first opening at 11:00 and got a nice seat by the wall (I'm not wild about people behind me- getting nuttier by the year I guess).

Last time DH got a chocolate milkshake and it came out in a glass with the stainless steel container with the remainder it in. I swear he ended up with 4 glasses total. We swore we would share one the next visit. When we ordered it this time we mentioned we would be splitting it and ended up with 2 glasses pre-filled with whipped cream and a cherry on each- nice touch but next time we won't mention the splitting thing and see what we get. Maybe ask for an extra glass after it arrives...

DH got a burger and fries. I got MY reuben with german potato salad. I LOVE the reuben here- my favorite anywhere. I've had them in NYC but still my favorite is at the Plaza. Marble rye grilled, lean corned beef, etc. Go figure! The German potato salad is served cold in case anyone wonders.

Good service and a good time to go- not crowded yet and servers not stressed yet.

Thanks for posting your review. My family and I will be trying the Plaza for the first time in September and that rueben sounds delish! I'm glad to hear that you can split a milkshake. My DS loves 'em but can never finish a whole one.

I love going to the Plaza for their reuben!! Now, I'm also addicted to their cookie dough milkshake...it was fabulous!!

Thanks for the review. The Plaza has become one of our MUST DO'S every trip. We are having our last lunch there the day we depart on our trip in September.

I'll share a reuben story that may explain my love of the Plaza. I ordered one at a local diner to go- the menu listed corned beef on rye grilled with sauerkraut and swiss. What I got when I opened it at home: corned beef hash with melted cheddar with slaw on toast!!!!
Actually funny later but

Does anyone know how difficult it is to get reservations at the Plaza, for either lunch or dinner- thinking about the second week in Dec. 08

I've never had a problem getting an adr for the Plaza. I have seen people trying to get in without one and being told full or long wait.
