The sandwiches here are enormous. But they're good, stuffed high with meat (and cheese). This is a workingman's place for lunch. Get here early. And check the website for their days and hours of operation.

Out of the way deli. Small place with huge sandwiches. First stop in a two day trip to Cleveland. We were seated fast and we ordered the corned beef sandwich and my wife ordered the pastrami. Had it at our table in 5 minutes and they were HUGE. We probably could have shared one but it was worth having the... More

The reviews I read more than lived up to expectations. The corned beef melt and roast beef sandwich were wonderful. The were so big you could share. No need for side items.

We couldn't wait for our plane to land at Akron/Canton airport, get our rental car and head to our first stop and most favorite and amazing deli....Slyman's. I felt like we were "druggies" going to get our fix of thinly sliced corned beef piled a mile high on amazing rye bread with a side of the best potato salad in... More

Slyman's Deli has always had the best corned beef sandwiches around? The sandwiches are huge and thick and at a reasonable price, great for lunch!

Slyman's makes an amazing corned beef sandwich...Huge portions...delicious. I had the Reuben and it was the best one I've ever had. Honestly though, when I go back it will be for the potato salad! I haven't had potato salad that good since my mother in law used to make it...from her German grandmother's recipe. I can't make it like she... More

If there is only one reason, and there are many more to visit the cleve. This is it. I must say that it is a TAD over the top. One sandwich could feed a small staving village for a week. Ask for extra bread as you will need it. And DON'T , I say DON'T take your blood preasure after... More

This is the place to go if you're looking for a fresh and delicious deli sandwich. As another reviewer mentioned its in a run down part of the city and the place is small but it won't disappoint! I've been to the Carnegie Deli in NYC and Slyman's is far better. If you live in the Cleveland area or you're... More

Fast service. Incredibly fresh and delicious. Gets very busy. Small place may have to wait for a table. Family run. So good!!
