Restaurant Review: Boris Family Restaurant

After a pretty crazy morning at work rewiring a bunch of our network, I decided to do lunch at the Boris Family Restaurant (11411 Ulmerton Rd, Largo, FL 33778-1602,(727) 559-7986 ). The whole dining experience is your typical diner, nothing too fancy or overly exciting. It reminds me a lot of the roadside diners I grew up eating at in Michigan, and there’s something comforting about that. The vinyl seating is a little sticky and doesn’t offer much in comfort, but the food is a good value and is pretty good tasting, so this isn’t a bad place to catch a quick bite.

I was in a bit of a hurry, so I ordered what I know to be both quick and tasty, a Reuben Sandwich. They make their Reuben a la carte, everything comes on the side except the meat, cheese and bread. They do this to both give you some options and also to keep the lunch crowd from spilling hot sauces all over themselves. It makes sense, and I like the control.

The sandwich itself is decent, and as to be expected. The rye is butter-soaked all the way through and grilled, making the whole sandwich hot throughout. They don’t use a lot of meat or a lot of sauerkraut, but what they do provide serves the purpose. This isn’t he quality or quantity that you’d find in a New York Style deli, but it’s also substantially less expensive. My whole lunch, including drink and tip was only about $10. French fries and cole slaw were unremarkable, but prepared properly.

Since eating there originally, I’ve gone back twice for the Reuben (both times to go) and it’s been consistently good. Since it’s so close to work I can bet there and back inside of 15 minutes, thus cutting my lunches short and making the most of my 11 hour work day. If you’re in Largo and want quick dining on a budget, give Boris Family Restaurant a try.
