| - After hearing a lot of hype about Slyman's Tavern, I went out to the Beachwood location for a lunch with two of my buddies. First things first, be prepared for a wait in line if you arrive right at noon on a weekday. With the local businesses, hospitals, and suburban homes nearby, you'll be sure to be putting your name down to wait in line to be seated. My party of 3 waited approximately 30 minutes.
I took a look around at other tables to get an idea of the sandwich sizes and meat portions, and ultimately I ordered the Reuben Corned beef sandwich from the "Grilled Favorites" section of the menu, and for the sake of not overstuffing my stomach, I requested the "Lighter" portion of meat. This Reuben sandwich was quite tasty, although also quite salty. Fortunately the sauerkraut and the dressing/sauce on the side helped to neutralize some of the saltiness, but you could say I definitely met my water bottle drinking quota for the rest of the day.
As far as the hype goes, I think this is a good place to get your corned-beef sandwich fix, just as long as you don't mind the wait time, the unwarranted high prices, and a sports-bar-like atmosphere with a matching sports-bar-like service.
