Valiant The Sandwich

To me, the reuben is king Supreme, the sandwich which I as a customer, hold in the highest of sandwich esteem, and the standard which I hold an eatery to. It is the defining moment for a restaurant, the moment that decides whether I become a return customer, or not. All that being said, I will never be leaving Valient the Sandwich, as they have delivered the best Like A Reuben sando I've ever had. Just knocked it right out of the proverbial park, they did. I don't have enough clapping hands or standing ovations to give this crew but they deserve them all. ?

The best sandwiches in Salem. Creative and delicious. I'll drink down the tomato soup even on 100° days. Fabulous place with a cool vibe.Vegetarian options: Yep they got vegan options.Dietary restrictions: They can do gluten free bread and will turn sandwiches into mega salads for low carb friends.Parking: Downtown parkingKid-friendliness: No crayons or anything entertaining for kids, but they have booths and a great kids menu. Kind staff. Family style bathroom.

EAT HERE.Fabulous food and great service.We got the Like a Rueben, T Mo's Gochu Cheesesteak, fries and a side salad.The Rueben was delicious I don't know where they get that rye bread but it is perfect.The Gochu Cheesesteak was one of the BEST sandwiches I've ever scarfed down. It was absolutely *flawless*. Very flavorful, but also 100% still a cheesesteak.

The burgers here are incredible. Particularly the Dusty Bottoms. I've also had the Cuban which was very good, but as someone from Florida, not exactly what I expected from a traditional Cuban sandwich.

I think every place and everybody always has room for improvement. For my first visit, and for reading about it for many many months, I found this to be just what I expected. The service was fantastic, and what I mean by that it was a person that appeared to love what they do or perhaps the interaction with people. I sat at a window seat to watch the people walk by and when I looked over my shoulder, the place was packed. So my point to this arrive early and expect great food and great service?
