There are a few food items which I'm almost obsessed about: Meatloaf, Meatballs, and Reuben Sandwiches. If any of these show up on a restaurant's menu, there's a 99 per cent chance I'll be ordering them.
The Reuben Sandwich at Karrie's Deli and Pub, which is billed as "The Best In The Upstate" is for once truth in advertising. I've remarked before how is shouldn't be hard for anyone to make a good Reuben. It's a sandwich with just a few ingredients: corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and 1000 island dressing on grilled rye bread. The only secret to the sandwich is using the right combination of each item and using top level ingredients. Unfortunately, most restaurants have trouble doing this, but not at Karries'. Without hesitation, I can state that this IS the best Reuben In The Upstate.
You get to pick one side with your sandwich: I chose macaroni salad which was mighty tasty and pictured in the photo above. Even better was my wife's choice of potato salad with pieces of bacon mixed in....the bacon as our old TV pal Emeril would say "Kicked It Up A Notch".
The only warning I would give about Karrie's is go hungry or just order a half sandwich, since the sandwiches are larger than what you usually receive in this area. I think if you go once, you'll be thinking about your next visit as soon as you leave.....I know I am!

One day I was searching reviews/comments for Karrie's Deli and Pub and came across this blog. First, I agree with your comment that what is advertised isn't what you always get! Thank you for your words on Karrie's Deli and Pub! It is nice to know that what I do is appreciated and mostly enjoyed by a customer! Karrie Troyano, owner Karrie's Specialty Deli and Pub
Thanks for your comments Karrie. I've been back and can still say that you have the best Reuben in town. It's so good it keeps me from ordering anything else. I've eaten bites of my dining companions' sandwiches and they were also top notch. I HIGHLY recommend your restaurant to anyone who might read this.
