| - This review is ONLY for their corned beef.
All sales from today were going to the fund for the three young women and child found recently, so that's very much to their credit; a very cool thing to do.
However. This is a food review, and after trying their corned beef for the 2nd time there's no doubt in mind that 1) they really are clueless about how to cook corned beef and 2) see #1.
Look, while I didn't expect corned beef similar to that from Corky & Lenny's or Mr Brisket, if you're charging TEN FIFTY for a corned beef sandwich (which, I think, is what C&L's charges for their big one), then it had damned well better be at least somewhat in the same ballpark. Not only was it NOT in the same ballpark, I'm pretty sure it wasn't even in the same national park. Or the same state. Or continent. Or galaxy.
The Cleveland Corned Beef restaurant may do many things well but corned beef isn't one of them. This is the 2nd time on Yelp I've had to majorly ding corned beef which came from restaurants with CORNED BEEF IN THEIR NAME. What's wrong with this picture?
Yes, I know it's the West Side and, legally, good corned beef is not allowed east of the Cuyahoga, but, still, can't somebody at least get to "hey, not bad," as opposed to "hey, I'm gonna barf?"
Apparently not.
