Oh yeah! This place is the real deal. The "famous corned beef sandwich" is totally worth the years it will take off your life when you eat it. Absolutely delicious!
Be forewarned - the corned beef is more expensive than everything else on the menu. Other sandwiches are like $6 or $7. They come with chips and a pickle. You can also get a nice, big 22 oz Genesee Ale for just $2. Score! So for under $10, you get a good meal and a good beer. What's not to like? Well, I'll tell you.
It's a dive. Dark wood, dark paint, dark everything in here. I LOVE that, but I can see how other people wouldn't like it. I sat at the bar for lunch and two people came in, looked around and left while I was there. Their lose! They had old-school 70's R&B jamming in the background and the Indians game on the TV. There were several nice old timers bellied up to the bar, too, who obviously knew the young woman behind the bar.
I'm thinking I'll get in here again. Maybe not on every trip to Cleveland, but definitely a few more times.
CASH ONLY!
