Cleveland Food Guide | MUST Eats

[@philipangus088]

West side market, on crowded days, pick-pockets are there so keep a close watch on your purse. Do NOT let the fruit and veggie people fill your bag from behind their counter. I bought 4 pints of strawberries and when i got home found 4 pints of fuzzy, moldy strawberries. So pick your fruit and veggies from what is on display, not what they fill your bag with from behind their counter. Be aware, there are no "sell by" dates on meats and stuff, so make sure what you pick out is what they wrap up for you. COUNT YOUR CHANGE!!!

[@travelingterrezzas313]

Thanks Phil for the additional travel advice! Can certainly help others who intend on visiting :)

[@Nickm32797]

Absolutely true. Keep your purse and wallet secured and select your own produce. After all, it's your money!

[@fieryforce999]

Wow way to support your city negative Nancy! Not all are like that. What a downer you are.

[@dhadam1]

Great coverage, thanks folks.

[@rospencer611]

Slymans E31st & St Clair! I used to work at the Mueller Electric Factory on E31 5 minutes walk from there and I would either eat lunch there or in little China down Payne every day. As a young punk just figured this was a pretty good Cleveland deli. Miss those days in the 90's when life was simple

[@farajaraf]

Thanks so much forcoming to town. Banter is a favorite of mine too.

[@travelingterrezzas313]

Cleveland is truly wonderful! Thanks for having us.

[@farajaraf]

@@travelingterrezzas313 when you’re back in town check out Ferris Deli for the best Shawarma this side of the Atlantic. Syrian style- be sure to ask for pita (if that’s what you expect) as they use a tortilla otherwise.

[@travelingterrezzas313]

@@farajaraf that sounds soooo good! Def putting it on our list.

[@castlecorn593]

Before watching I really hope you went to one of the Soul Food joints like B&M or Kims

[@zacharywoods001]

If you are ever in the area again try out Schlotzsky's for corned beef. Presti's in little Italy also is a great bakery. Thanks for showing Cleveland in your travels.

[@travelingterrezzas313]

I read a few blogs recommending Schlotzsky's - I believe they are a food truck? - correct me if I am wrong- I tried to align our days and hours with where they were located but it was a little difficult. Cleveland was awesome!!

[@brianbarker620]

You went to absolute wrong place for corned beef in Cleveland. The Irish place may be good but you completely missed a Cleveland institution for corned beef --Slymans!!! Franks is a must at the Westside Market but so is “Steve’s Gyro’s”. Rita’s cream cheese and bacon stuffed pepperoncini’s are a great snack at the market also.

[@travelingterrezzas313]

I tried to look up Slymans - they were rated #1 for corned beef but they were a food truck and from what I remember at the time it wasn't clear where I could find them as a tourist. And it wasn't "wrong" we enjoyed our corned beef perhaps the more eloquently way of stating your point was more "popular" / iconic. Hope I helped you articulated better

[@brianbarker620]

@@travelingterrezzas313 I don’t know why what looked up said that Slymans was a food truck because I know of the original brick-and-mortar location as well as two others.

[@travelingterrezzas313]

@@brianbarker620 Can you share the address for other please? Or a link? And I will pin it

[@allevi5158]

Slymans is killer but because it is in a sketchy neighborhood, they close early like 2 -3 pm Steve's Gyros in West Side Market does the best gyros anywhere

[@bonnjill]

@@travelingterrezzas313 I think you confused Slyman's for Seti's. Seti's had the best Polish boys in Cleveland and operated out of a food truck. He got sick and hasn't been working in several years. The area Slyman's is located isn't that sketchy anymore. There is nothing there but businesses. CSU is close to there as well. I've never felt unsafe in that area in the past 14 years. It might have been bad at one time, but not anymore.

[@karenhouston2839]

I wish you would have try a black restaurant, they have the best polish boys

[@farajaraf]

Or the gas stations

[@jefferykovacs4211]

You need to go to Slymans!

[@travelingterrezzas313]

Heard awesome things about them as well!

[@karenhouston2839]

I love the Reuben with mustard

[@03grunt11]

Never seen a restraunt in cleveland make a corn beer that small lol

[@daveklein2826]

Cleveland doesn't make corner beer Einstein

[@georgeellinas2147]

Joe's Deli and George's Kitchen are great, old school diners that I frequent! Check them out!

[@travelingterrezzas313]

Adding to the list when we go back one day!

[@jacobshort5378]

I'm about an hour away, It's on my list to try

[@jacobshort5378]

Also, joe's on Madison Ave?

[@sheaskateboarding]

George's Kitchen is such a hidden gem.

[@mark-dv9gb]

I always hit George’s kitchen on the west side and Steve’s in Old Brooklyn

[@jeromebruening6134]

What is pullteen

[@travelingterrezzas313]

I'll do you one better: What are you?

[@mark-dv9gb]

Rock n Roll any one ?

[@Brodie--lw6eb]

Hot Sauce Williams for po boys…just an FYI

[@meldavis6294]

Nice and informative!!! 1 suggestion: scrap that background music. It's super annoying and almost made me end the video

[@daveklein2826]

You are annoying

[@AyaazMerali]

What the heck is a Pullteen?

[@travelingterrezzas313]

It's a new food north of Westeros. How can you not know that?

[@bonnjill]

I think she means Poutine. It's gravy covered French fries with cheese curds, and Banter sells it.

[@daveklein2826]

Try spelling it right. Poutine is what she said

[@jefferykovacs4211]

It's a Slovak community not just Polish.

[@travelingterrezzas313]

Thanks! Pinning this to expand knowledge and correct ours. :)

[@daveklein2826]

She NEVER said it was just Polish....... Try listening before you comment

[@aaimginggraphics2411]

as someone who has lived in the cleveland area my WHOLE LIFE....i wish u would of had a bigger selection of foods .... yall must of been polish or Slovenian... u missed other MAJOR ethic food groups!

[@travelingterrezzas313]

Do we look polish or Slovenian? Come on now... We only had a few days and chose reoccurring food items that were recommended through online articles or blogs. I am sure there is a variety of all different foods but we are from the. NYC area, we are one of the most diverse as it is so we focused our efforts on things Cleveland is known for again from a little bit of research on the online forum. You're welcome to write your own blog with your recommendations

[@aaimginggraphics2411]

@@travelingterrezzas313 wasn't trying to say that ....just going off what you what you posted....understand better now.....for those of us in the Cleveland area ....ALL of our food we take somewhat seriously....I do appreciate your efforts though

[@OldBuzzardProduction]

go to slymans (3106 St Clair Ave NE, Cleveland, OH 44114) for corn beef makes that overcooked corn beef look bad They were cheap with the corn beef you'll see when you walk in slymans
