I would have definitely driven by Zenders if it weren't for the big old sign that was placed above the door; despite having GPS I think it is still not as easy as some places to find. I parked in a nearby lot and made my way in to a rather empty and deserted restaurant. While I felt it took a little bit longer than I would have expected considering I was the only one in the restaurant, eventually I was rewarded by my patience with a heaping amount of food.
I started off with their self-proclaimed, "Our Best Sandwich", which is a filet mignon sandwich. While I can't say it was a bad sandwich, I would definitely say it was my least favorite item of my entire visit. Before I finished off the filet mignon sandwich I dug into my Reuben and, boy, was I glad that I got this. All the parts were perfectly aligned with one another: the sauerkraut played well with the corned beef, and was not to overwhelmed by the Swiss cheese.
In between bites of my Reuben I dug into my loaded fries. These were some mighty fine fries with plenty of toppings. The fries are skin on and freshly fried, and I wouldn't be surprised if they are cut in house.
Next up was a piece of old-fashioned sugar cream pie. Every bit of this pie brought back memories of the first time I had sugar cream pie. I wish I could have eaten about five more pieces. The chocolate shake was an alright version that didn't blow my socks off, but it was certainly satisfying.
Service was friendly and helpful so I could definitely see myself stopping by again if I was ever in the area.
Overall: Worth planning a day around

"This is quite possibly the largest Reuben I have eaten; well over an inch-and-a-half thick. "
