Two of the most important ingredients in foodie life are a proper pastrami and a proper Jewish rye bread. Sorry, but Rye Society does neither one of these necessities the proper justice they deserve. For a Left Coast transplant, having a proper Jewish deli in Denver touting themselves as a pastrami expert is an exciting thing, however this is one mantle that Rye Society can and never should claim. They don't deserve to. The pastrami has no flavor. The rye bread does not have a dense, pillowy consistency nor a robust earthiness and again, this bread lacks the real flavor a rye bread should have. The 18+1 signature sandwich tastes like nothing but butter and mayonnaise and not much else. Good thing I chose the spicy brown mustard over the Russian dressing to cut through the creamy flavor or else my sandwich would have been dangerously close to being inedible by my exacting standards. I'm so disappointed. Properly disappointed. Now I long to take a flight back to NYC or Montreal to redeem myself for purchasing this $14 sad sack of a sandwich. Bummer. I wanted to love this place. But yet again, Denver capitalism broke my damn heart. Proper. read more

The bowl was great, tons of roasted veggies and topped it with chicken. Super helpful staff that checked in on us at our outside table.

Was so looking forward to this place opening when I found out they would be shipping in pastrami from Carnegie Deli. I love pastrami and was really excited to go to this deli for a sandwich. The pastrami itself was DELICIOUS, but the sandwich was very skimpy. I expect a New York sized sandwich (or at least enough to make a filling lunch), especially for $15. For that price in Denver I was expecting more. read more

I honestly don't even want to give this a positive review because I don't want it to become crowded but truly this was some of the best food I've ever had. The sandwiches and half sour pickles were as good as any excellent Jewish deli in NYC! read more

This place is wonderful. Real authentic Jewish deli food that tastes amazing! Sandwiches, soup, breakfast, desserts. Very friendly staff and owner. You won't regret eating here. read more

The food is wonderful. The staff is friendly. There is a picture of Larry David on the wall. What more does one need. read more

We ordered the vegan Reuben and the Dr. Rosen salad, and WOW! Incredible is an understatement. The food is so fresh, the portions are plentiful, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. We can't get over how delicious and fresh the ingredients are. Highly highly recommended! We will definitely be back! read more

This was so delicious and the service was quick. I recommend this restaurant and the new trendy part of Denver so highly. Try the pastrami it was so flavorful I was dreaming about it the next night. read more

Omg! So good! I had the turkey pastrami with coleslaw. My husband had the 18 + 1. Both delicious! We were so full, but we stil split a Nutella rugelach, it was amazing! read more

LOVE! As a vegan, I was so excited to have the Dr. Rosen's Feel Good Bowl - so delicious, healthy, nutritious and filling! Also, as a Miami native and self-titled deli connoisseur (I used to eat everything!), this is the first time in 20 years that Colorado has had a deli that actually smells like a real delicatessen. There is not, nor will there be a another shining example of what a true Jewish deli experience is other than Rye Society. The owner is amazing, and is bringing his familial roots back to the neighborhood. Don't miss out - and eat a Reuben for me! Nom nom! read more

For a new business, I can definitely tell this place is going to just get better and better. Friendly staff, great food, and super trendy ambiance. Also, the pastrami is MIND BLOWING. read more

Great to have a new twist on the old style deli available in Denver! Delicious sandwiches and salads. The Rye Ruben was full of flavor and fresh slaw - even delicious on gluten free bread! Also, the Cobb Salad add Pastrami was a very hearty salad and great combo of flavors. The kids loved the pastries. Can't wait to come back for breakfast! read more

This place is my favorite! I've had the 18+1, the Gentile, and the Green Gables and all were amazing! Delicious Rye bread, nice staff, great service. read more

Fabulous new restaurant. I drive all the way from Boulder for the pastrami! The best deli food I've had in years.

Went to Rye Society on opening day today and the place was packed! Ordered the #18+1 (pastrami (regular or turkey), slaw, russian dressing, swiss, the smoked salmon on a rosenberg bagel, matzo ball soup, turkey pastrami on brioche and latke bites to go. Was pretty disappointed overall by the experience because there were several things wrong with the order. We were overcharged for the turkey pastrami on brioche and instead received a regular pastrami on rye. We got home to realize that we did not get our matzo ball soup and the latke bites were dry, undercooked and under seasoned. The smoked salmon on Rosenberg bagel was solid. The pastrami was amazing - it's flown in from Carnegie Deli in NY. But the #18+1 was half pastrami, half regular turkey meat which is not as advertised on the menu. Please don't water down my pastrami with regular ol' turkey meat! Came on rye when we asked for brioche. Also the pickle which is so important to the pastrami experience in my opinion was super soggy and had a spice on it that I didn't really like. After the long wait for this place to open and all the instragram posts they've been putting up to get people excited, I wish they were more prepared for opening day so they could knock it out of the ballpark. All the employees were very nice though and were handing out cookies and bites of pastrami to those in line. We've reached out about our problems and a manager has already reached out which is a great sign that they will take good care of their customers. We will definitely give this place another try as we know opening day is hectic and hope to update this review soon! read more

Good sandwiches... The fat Jewish sandwich was awesome but it was a little pricey for what you get. Worth popping in for a quick lunch

Great new age deli here in Denver! Pastrami too die for but lots of healthy options as well. Family run business w roots in Denver. Strongly recommended. Welcome addition downtown. read more

This was the best reuben I've ever had. So so good. The corned beef was delicious! Great little spot with a few tables inside and friendly staff. I'll definitely be back! read more

Reviews for this place are spot on. Very good food. High quality ingredients. A little over priced. Small portions of meat for sandwiches.

Five months later and no update on a simple question of price per pound of pastrami. I guess clearly bulk business or even replying hey we are working on it or we are not going to do it clearly shows communication is not the strong suit of this establishment. Tough to support local business when the business doesn't care about the customer read more

I has the best pastrami rueben EVER today...however, the fact that my son was paying may have had an effect. My wife loved her pastrami and egg on bagel sandwich. Can't wait to go back! Clark K. read more

We had a very good lunch Friday about 12:45. Corned beef sandwich on Rye was quite tasty and Kate had Turkey on ciabatta roll -also very good. We'll go back read more

I'm not claiming to be a Jewish food expert, but it is my favorite cuisine. I've had hundreds of Reuben sandwiches in my life, but this place has the best. read more

We were really looking forward to eating here and were very disappointed. The food is not bad but it is very bland . I had the 18+, and it was missing the dressing and any flavor, my girlfriend had the tuna salad and she had to add salt and pepper (she never adds anything to her food). The best part of the meal was the pickle. We won't be back read more

Excellent breakfast sandwich with amazing melt-in-your-mouth brioche, and really excellent espresso too. So excited to return for lunch and try some deli sandwiches! read more

Best pastrami I've had. Wherever they get their rugelach from deserves an award. This place has a wonderful staff, even when it's packed I feel welcome. read more

Awesome. Really good food. Simple, good, quality... sandwich, pickle, chips, drink. The staples. Hard to find a straight forward sandwich place these days... and even more specifically a deli. Pastrami comes from Carnegie Deli in NYC. I like the Rye Egg breakfast sandwich. For corned beef or pastrami, make sure you get 8 oz. won't regret. Just go. read more

Very disappointing. After reading a write up about the new deli I was looking forward to a great pastrami sandwich. The pastrami was dry. The rye bread tasted like wonder bread. The coleslaw was bland. The pickle was a puny little sliver. I won't be going back. read more

The real deal! Turkey pastrami sandwich was as good as it gets. I'm a NY deli person and this felt just right. The rye bread is to die for - soft with just the right chewiness to the crust. My friend had the corned beef sandwich which was absolutely divine. Blintzes and pickles were perfect. This is what we've been waiting for. read more

Wow! We went back a couple days after opening day and it was amazing. The smell of pastrami and home made pickles hit me at the door and I was in love. Best sandwich I've had in Denver, I just got pastrami on rye with Swiss and cole slaw on the side. Hand sliced deliciousness. I'll be back. read more

Wonderful sandwiches, best tuna on brioche, the 18+1 is amazing. Great pastrami and corned beef sliced to order!!! Can't wait to go back and get the matzoh ball soup!! read more

Rueben has no flavor. Couldn't tell it had swiss, thousand island, or kraut on it. Corned beef was average and sliced too thick. And it wasn't grilled. Slaw was just straight cabbage. The blandest meal I've had in a long time. Employees are very nice and the place is clean although not much seating and it's tight in there. Only about a dozen things on the menu, which was strange for a deli. You want a Reuben, you go to Bagel Deli. read more

Being a local, I wish I could support every new small business. And I really didnt want to write a bad review here. However, there seems to be alot of disorganization and carelessness at rye society. Simple orders (like a toasted bagel with cream cheese ends up being an untoasted bagel with a glop of cream cheese in a container). Also, if you ask for their turkey sandwich, they will straight up give you two pieces of bread and turkey (because you didnt ask for everything else) who the hell would order a boring ass sandwich like that?? And when all you want is a coffee and bagel, they will find someway to irritate you by putting the condiments on the side instead of on the bagel. Also, make sure you ask for your bagel toasted as they wont ask for you, they will just hand you an untoasted bagel. Ive tried really hard here and I usually dont get that frustrated over something like this. But most of my orders made here have been incorrect than correct, which is a really bad sign. I hope they get the growning pains out asap. I would love to keep eating here, but I would rather not if this sort of problem continues. read more
