| - We often stay on this side of town when we're in the Cleveland area, and we usually try to hit Corky & Lenny's at least once for breakfast or lunch.
I like the vibe here...lots of regulars and its usually a cheerfully packed house.
Mish mosh soup, the bagel dinner rolls, corned beef hash are among my favorites. This last trip, I had the daily special-a huge plate of chicken paprikash...tasty and more than enough for lunch and dinner (lots of leftovers, so fortunately I have a fridge and a microwave in my room this trip!).
Service is usually fast and attentive. We only get here once or twice a year, but I remember seeing many of the servers from prior trips. And I definitely remember the cashier lady someone else here described as the woman with the Harry Carey glasses!
Today, we had Micky (a little Oriental lady with a big cap and a big smile who I know has been a server here for quite a while). We were seated in Micky's section near a couple of tables of regulars, and she made us feel like one of the treasured regulars as well-joking with us and tucking a couple of extra bagel dinner rolls into our basket when my dining companion looked longingly as she told me they'd come with my entree (he was having a massive corned beef sandwich, but she saw his face and brought the extra rolls for him. You won't go hungry in this place, f'sure.
The woman at the register when I checked out made sure I had a bag and extra napkins for the leftovers I was taking home as she cashed me out and wished me a healthy and happy New Year.
There is a reasonable-sized meat/deli counter in front of the store, along with a small shop for snacks, etc. by the cash register. I've been able to pick up things like bottles of Cleveland ball park mustard here.
