AMAZING PLACE!! This is one the BEST (and cheapest) places to buy produce around Cleveland. The selection and variety is vast and wide. ONE issue some people might have is that produce vendors will be yelling (directly at you in some cases) trying to sell you a "good deal". "You! Ladies! I sell you this bag of apples for $2!". Depending on your own attitudes and feelings you may/may not like this business "tactic" from vendors.
Moving on to the MAIN building you have SEVERAL deli styled vendors ( I would approximate there to be around 100 different vendors). These vendors range and very on their specialty or product. Vendors at the West Side Market will sell anything from meats, fish, cheeses and even pierogies to a wide array of sweet treats! STEVE'S GYROS was rated as having one the BEST gyros in Cleveland! Try for yourself!
Overall, the West Side Market is a "must try" for anyone looking for cheap produce, GREAT items to eat or take home and just to experience! YES, it does get crowded at times but it also depends on what day/time you go. Earlier IS somewhat better but with the market hours being what they are it can feel crowded and rushed at times. PARKING can be an issue too if it is busy. Give it a try and you might find something that will make your day!
