Chirag Shah Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 I've been hearing a lot about this sandwich. Any experiences here? How good is it exactly? I'll be on the symphony from April 11-18. Can't wait! Thanks. Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 The Kummelweck is a roast beef on a wonderful roll. If the beef is good quality and they use au jus (as opposed to thick gravy - yuk), it is very good. If the meat is tough or they use gravy vs au gus, it is an awful thing.

ellcee Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 Depends on the ship if it's good or not. Had a great one on Anthem and a yucky one on Harmony. The cut of the meat was the issue. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote
basil Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 Not an answer to your question, but a hey! Me and my family are on the same cruise Quote
gmanager Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 IMO just okay on GOS. Not great. Chadster 1 Quote

FManke Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 Ditto on Serenade. Read all the hype. Was super excited and meh. Going to give it another try on Rhapsody in Oct. Quote
Baked Alaska Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 Went to Park Cafe on Radiance of the Seas this past July and asked for the Kummelweck sandwich. He looked at me like I was speaking another language. He had no idea what I was talking about. I asked "do you have a roast beef sandwich on a roll?" I was handed a roast beef sandwich, on a roll. There were no sauces or juices served on the side or on the sandwich. Chadster and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote
twangster Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 You might want to fix the thread title. Road Beef sounds like road kill. FManke, Baked Alaska, Ogilthorpe and 3 others 5 1 Quote

loki007 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 if you are familiar with a Beef on Weck you will be disappointed. I am from buffalo and also read about this sandwich. Huge disappointment compared to what I can get at a gas station here at home. Chadster, Ogilthorpe, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 2 2 Quote

Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Posted March 3, 2020 Agree with @ellcee, ship dependant. Loved it on Anthem, hated it on Harmony. Second time on Anthem was just ok. The cut of meat is not always great quality. Ogilthorpe 1 Quote
Mrs. Regular Posted March 3, 2020 Report Posted March 3, 2020 OP, are you from Western NY where we actually KNOW how to do a beef on weck right? If so, be warned. I did not approve of them on the Rhapsody, but on other ships your mileage may vary. I don't get the buzz about these sandwiches in general, but I suppose since I grew up with them they don't hold so much luster for me. loki007 1 Quote
Mike Cruz Posted March 5, 2020 Report Posted March 5, 2020 We have been on Allure, Harmony and Symphony - We make it a point to bee line there as soon as possible - they are open for lunch on day one. Get there early on seas days as there can be quite a line. There is nothing better than the fresh baked buns, tender beef and the Au Jus. This along with one of the salads they make to order and a cold beverage just can't be beat. We have even skipped the main dining room at dinner to enjoy these great sandwiches. Quote
Sweety Posted March 5, 2020 Report Posted March 5, 2020 In Chicago, we have italian beef sandwiches. We get extra slices and the Au jus is right on time. Taste like a bit of Chicago on the cruise. On one cruise they had open faced philly steak sandwiches. They were delicious. Quote
SpeedNoodles Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 We were excited to try it on Ovation, and found it to be not remotely worth the walk down to get it. We were going to try it again on Symphony and totally forgot that it, and Park Cafe, existed. Quote
wstephensi Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 Allure several years ago was great. Harmony this past summer, not so much. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote
