OoooohWEE! Definitely one of the best corned beef sammiches I've ever had in...life. I'm from Cleveland, and Cleveland does some *mean* corned beef which is why I've never been inclined to try Slyman's and succumb to all the hype. (Why? When I can get a drool-worthy CB sammich from a dozen places, including gas stations, in my own 'hood?!)
However, I must admit this is THEE best. My humongo sandwich was $11 and I would pay double for it. Easy.
The meat: so, so moist, with the perfect amount of fat. Totally kills other delis where the meat tends to be TOO lean or kinda dry (e.g. Corky and Lenny's/Barristers).
I order my CBs this way: Reuben NO sauerkraut with mayo AND mustard and swiss (melted). An employee there confirms this is indeed one of the best ways to order:) Try it. Delish.
I always say that the Cleveland corned beef sandwich HAS TO be one of the best sandwiches in the WORLD. So I guess maybe Slyman's is one of the best sandwich shops in the world?
Plus, the place is SO "Cleveland." You just have to know, to know.
