The corned beef is simply outrageous (and I am a veteran of some serious NYC delis , including Katz's, Stage, Carnegie, etc.), and Lynn, our waitress, was an absolute doll (she showed us pictures of famous patrons and told us some wonderful stories). The place is a local luncheonette - very family friendly - but don't expect much in the... more

Wow. Non-stop horseradish and thousand island at the table and the best waitress made the "Special K" even special-er. more

The corned beef here really is good. I recommend sharing a sandwich because they are quite large. President George W. Bush once ate here. It is the best corned beef I've had. It's really lean and melts in your mouth. The place gets crowded. I give it a 4 rather than a 5 because the sides are nothing special. more

Visited a friend in Cleveland a short while ago and she took my son and myself to Slymans. We have some pretty good sandwich places in Northern California but nothing even comes close to Slymans. Great food and the wait staff was terrific. Best Reuben sandwich I've ever had. Nice bunch of people in Ohio. more

This place is a diamond in the rough-it's legendary in this town. The corned beef is by far the best in the city, the state, perhaps in the entire region. They will pile it high on your plate, and if you can't finish it they will even send you home with extra bread if you want. It is absolutely amongst... more
