| - We come to Corky and Lenny's every time we visit Cleveland. Miss D. compares the Modern-ish decor to a Vegas buffet. Waitresses and hostesses, backed up by a prompt kitchen staff, combine a knowing, "take charge" attitude with efficiency.
You can't go wrong with lean corned beef with yellow mustard on rye, regular size. If you eat lunch at noon, you won't be hungry until 7:30 p.m. Ask for it "lean." If you go for the king-sized corned beef sandwich for lunch, you're done eating for the day.
Miss D. favors the corned beef Reuben, also on rye, toasted, with sauerkraut and melted swiss. She rated hers an "A+." Her chicken noodle soup (chicken broth only) likewise was excellent. One time in the past she ordered goulash she wasn't crazy about. Stick with the core items.
The staff no longer leaves buckets full of pickles at the tables, probably for health reasons. Fine with us. They bring each table its own small chilled tray of pickles, which they re-fill. The deli counter displays appetizing cold cuts and cheeses, plus they have coolers of beverages and other needed goodies.
