It's a small space - a few tables inside and a few tables out - but don't let that or the line you are likely to encounter deter you. They crank out sandwiches quickly here. Said sandwiches include about two dozen hot and cold offerings as well as the ability to build your own. The meats are Boar's Head, but the desserts and soups are made fresh in-house. Check out the display case for salads and sides that might catch your eye. O'Brien's prides itself on its Reuben, and so I went with the "mini" version (a quarter rather than a half pound of meat) with a pickle for my first visit here. Ordering at the register was a breeze, and I was fortunate enough to snag one of the tables for dine-in. Though I was a bit skeptical that the Reuben would match the hype, it delivered. I don't know that it is without a doubt the best version I've had, but it is definitely up there. The grilled rye was nice and crisp, and I appreciated that they used both mustard and Russian dressing. That, plus the meat, kraut, and melty cheese, made for a very satisfying bite. At $10, the sandwich proved a good value, too. Unpretentious and nostalgically comforting (for Northern transplants, at least), O'Brien's is a well-oiled sandwich-slinging machine. Though that Reuben will be hard to top, I look forward to giving one of their other offerings (maybe a Cuban, maybe a Spicy Italian) a try.

Death, Taxes, and the classic Reuben from O'Briens Deli. All certainties, but only one of them…read moreenjoyable. When anyone asks me where to find the best reuben in Winston, I tell them go to the place that proudly proclaims in their window that they are "The Home of the Reuben" and can back it up... O'Briens! It's a small place, a few outdoor tables, and probably 6-8 inside. They do a lot of to-go business, for good reason. The lunch crowd will never shy away from a sandwich here... of which I have had several. But the reuben indeed stands alone. One of the keys to their success is a happy and engaged staff. The owner, Josh, realizes this and takes great care of them. He believes his success should also be theirs, and that is evident in their demeanor. On to the Reuben. Why is it so good? The pictures really say it all. Corned beef stacked high, with a good ratio of kraut, swiss cheese, deli mustard, and grilled Jewish rye bread. Visually impressive, leads perfectly into orally outstanding. You'll be full and happy, and wondering why you'd order it anywhere else. Not to mention, check them out around St. Patrick's day for traditional Irish stew!

Staff was super cool and making recommendations for food. I decided to order the large chicken Philly, which comes on a very large hoagie and made it a combo with tots and a drink. I took one bite of the chicken Philly and it melted into my mouth. I like it when the bread is soft and not hard. The flavor was perfect with cheese, peppers, and mayonnaise. The combo comes with either tots or fries. I chose tots and got a very large portion. I also tried the watermelon lemonade, which was phenomenal. The portion was definitely big enough to last me two meals. I couldn't pass up the larger sandwich for the price. A smaller one comes on a hamburger bun. Italy took a few minutes to get my food ready, which was nice considering I had to get it to go. There are several tables set up inside where people can enjoy the meal inside. This restaurant is inside of an old warehouse or school building. I definitely wanna go back and try everything on the menu.

Happy to say I am upgrading my review score here, because I went back for the "Hot Thighs Sandwich"…read morethat I said I would in my original review, and that scratched all the things that I felt my original sandwich lacked. It was crispy, supremely juicy, and the combo of hot sauce, ranch (instead of mayo), and pickle was just right. It was a really nice size portion of chicken, and the fries were excellent, as was my Arnold Palmer. There is no doubt that you can pay less for chicken sandwiches elsewhere in the area, and you'll get a few really good ones. This one is amongst the best if I am not taking value into account. Every bite was finger licking good as they say, and I found myself wanting another one. I didn't take that leap right then, but I will soon. I should also mention, the restaurant was spotless when I came in, and I received tip top customer service at the register. Everyone was engaged and ready to make me a great meal.

My…read moreprevious experience was underwhelming, but I decided to give the restaurant another opportunity in hopes that it had improved. Unfortunately, this visit fell even shorter of expectations. The food quality was particularly disappointing. The Cajun shrimp Alfredo was excessively heavy and resulted in immediate discomfort, lacking the balance and flavor one would expect from such a dish. The addition of bacon to the dish was a clear misstep, overwhelming the other flavors and contributing to an already overly rich and unbalanced meal. The croissants were equally unsatisfactory--dense, chewy, and overbaked, with a texture and taste suggesting they had not risen properly. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal was the side salad, which, while fresh, should not have been the most enjoyable component of the dining experience. Overall, I left feeling quite disappointed. Given that both of my visits have resulted in similarly negative experiences, I find it difficult to justify returning.

I ordered food all three times and each time the taste seemed to have improved. The first time I got the Caprese and it was very dry. It literally had three ingredients in it, I think the cheese just was too cold and didn't do it for me while on the contrary, the sourdough bread was very burnt and the entire sandwich was just very dry and disappointing.If you want a good safe option, the short rib melt Is really good. The drinks at the bar are also really good. I will also note the ambiance is amazing, I love the way they decorated everything and I feel like it's really fitting for such a historical place, everything seemed very niche and clean which I admired. I will say the service from Lauren Stone was amazing. She was great, she was very kind and held conversation with myself and my boyfriend and recommended and made some really good drinks. The service is really what tops the overall experience. If someone is very genuine and upfront, there's not much that they can't come back from. There's lots of redeeming qualities in a restaurant through people that have humility and really seem to care in my book so I will say this place is honestly a must try.
