Karl's is higher in price. True.
But, the owner will know you if you make yourself known. He's old school and you can't be mad at that.
Plus, here's a tip- he poured drinks for Frank Sinatra back when Swingo's was a thing in Cleveland, and then he ran the Snuggery. So, if you want to get a Manhattan poured by the same hand "Old Blue Eyes" would trust with his drink? Come for that experience.
Me? I go to Karl's for two things- to shake the man's hand who will recognize me, my lady, and any one of my friends who walks through that door on any given day no matter how long it's been.
And two- I go for the Corned Beef. Being in the restaurant biz, I know who the supplier of his meat is, and I've been to the facility where they prepare the briskets. I know through and through the quality of it all. I can attest- it's spot on, Grade A. And Karl, piles it high on bread that melts in your mouth, and serves it with a crisp pickle.
If you're going to the Browns game- do yourself a favor and stop in here. Spend the $10 for a sandwich that is butchered in Cleveland, shaved by Karl's, and sold with experience. If you're looking for a cheap sandwich by an owner that doesn't give a crap about you- there's a Quizno's a hundred feet north.
