Cleveland Corner Beef is one of those railcar diners that you might find along Route 66 back in the day, only it's not in a railcar, it's in a shopping center on Pearl Road and Brookpark Road.
This is one of those places that serves you about 1.5 lbs of meat between two slices of butter-grilled white bread, with a pickle spear and frozen French fries. And it's good; that is if you want 1.5 meat between two slices of butter-grilled white bread, with a pickle spear and frozen French fries.
I mean, look, let's not try to make this place anything more than it is. It's a dive deli in Parma/Brooklyn. It's clean, but not CLEAN. The staff are friendly, but not FRIENDLY, and the food is good, not GREAT.
Will I stop in every now and again for lunch if I'm nearby? Sure! Will I take an out of towner there sometime to show them that New York or Chicago isn't the only place you can get an overstuffed deli sandwich? Absolutely! Will I add this to my regular rotation of restaurants? Probably not. You get the idea...
