| - One of the most iconic food stops in Cleveland is Slyman's Restaurant. Serving up the best corned beef in town (and IMHO, anywhere) for years and years- it's an essential taste of the Cleveland landscape.
Slyman's Tavern had a lot of pressure to be just as great and I say, with a mouthful of soft pretzels, they certainly are great.
My first stop to SLyman's Tavern was a few years ago and for BREAKFAST instead of a corned beef sandwich. I was wowed from the start. The breakfast buffet was awesome. So much variety and delicious, well-prepared food to choose from.
The mark of a good breakfast spot for me is a tasty Bloody Mary. Slyman's has an impressive bloody mary bar with all the fixins you can imagine and even some you can't! The mix was perfect and really made my Sunday.
My most recent experience was just as satisfying. A friend and I shared some appetizers and even though I ordered the Lite-size Reuben, there was still a half of a sandwich left to take home. Flavorful corned beef, non-soggy fresh bread and a tangy kraut. We shared some fried pickles, a soft pretzel and Slyman's fries. (Her hubby was the beneficiary of our leftovers) It's not cheap eats, but it is good eats. The restaurant itself is clean, decorated in a fun way and service is usually friendly and prompt.
The location is probably a huge asset for them as well. Right off 77, near 480, on Rockside Rd in a plaza with plenty of parking- there's no excuse for you to not be eating here!
