My family has been going to Slyman's for years but this was my first visit... it's not a good place for groups, children or the handicap but it is worth the wait. We had a table of seven and the server had a hard time accommodating us, saying that "It's not going to happen" and leaving us to just wait. Eventually another older woman appeared and said we can combine tables & she'd take care of us, not sure why the first guy couldn't figure this out?
If you have issues with being claustrophobic then I would avoid this place! You are definitely sitting on one another laps and the place could have been a little cleaner. The pickle that came with my sandwich was just okay, not the home made giant barrel pickle I was hoping for. Yet the corned beef had virtually no fat on it and was delicious!!! I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but I'd like to return in the near future, perhaps with a smaller group(?). The french fires are nothing to brag about either, better than my local Wendy's but not as good as Mr. Hero's.
