Not open. The yelp website said it would be open. And yet it was not. Many cockroaches outside, but I assume they would not be allowed in without ID. read more

Visited Barrister's Deli with my co-workers once again. It's been seven years since I've visited, so I was due for a visit. On this occasion, we seated ourselves and grabbed menus on the way in. The menu offered some tasty sounding options, so it was tough to choose. Plus, they offered some specials, which also sounded appetizing. Since I had a precognition to request a reuben sandwich, I requested a sandwich. But it wasn't a reuben. Instead, I requested a duplex with corned beef and pastrami with a side of french fries and a drink. I was handed a glass so I ventured over to the soda fountain. Yes, I said "soda" and I'm from Ohio. The soda fountain offered a couple locally sourced options with real cane sugar. So I went with the black cherry variety and it was yummy! A few moments later, my fries arrived. A few minutes later, my sandwich was delivered. The fries were hot and yummy. The sandwich was good, but not great. It had lettuce and tomato, but no mayo. I should've requested may. In fact, I should've just requested a reuben as I had thought earlier. Anyway, the meal was good and we had some good conversation amongst my co-workers. read more

The corned beef sandwich was outstanding! We also ordered the classic Italian sandwich which was also excellent. The corned beef is made in house and was tender, flavorful and juicy. Served on rye which was a perfect choice. The staff was all very nice. Next time I'm in Cleveland I'm stopping by for a sandwich. It's also very close to the Rock N Roll museum read more

Found this restaurant in Downtown Cleveland, very friendly and hospitable service. I ordered the shawarma platter and my party ordered the Mediterranean dish that came with hummus. The meat of my shawarma was a little bland but the other ingredients tasted fresh. The Mediterranean dish on the other side was excellent. The pita bread was homemade and the hummus had lots of flavor. Lots of parking available and great service, the staff was very welcoming! read more

Stopped in on the way to work to grab a quick lunch. The woman taking my order was kind enough to recommend a sandwich I could grab and go and would leave me feeling satisfied. She mentioned the garlic Mayo was good enough to eat on just about anything, so I had to have it! I'm not a huge bread fan so I removed the third slice of bread in my sandwich. I was thoroughly satisfied. The garlic mayo was the perfect spread for this sandwich. Next time, I'll ask for it toasted. The deli was a cross between and old-school diner and a bar. I'll definitely be giving them a try for dine-in. read more

The first thing I noticed was the cleanliness of this deli. Considering the building is old with a dated nostalgic feel, I appreciated how clean everything was. We were inspired to try this deli from a previous review. I love a good Rueben sandwich. Once I saw that that the fries were homemade and the corned beef was cooked in house, I was sold. I do honestly believe that this is the best Rueben I have ever had. The meat was pilled high, flavorful and juicy, and the sauerkraut was not overbearing. The thin rye bread was nicely toasted and kept its crisp to the last bite. The fresh Cajun fries were a perfect sandwich companion. We are not from this area and are saddened that we will not be able to make this a frequent stop, but we are grateful we got to experience and enjoy this nostalgic deli. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and did I mention the service with a genuine smile? read more

Best burger!! I had bleu cheese and caramelized onions, no bun, and it was so good. Seasonings were delicious and it was like a smash burger. I had pasta salad as my side and it was delicious as well. Hubby had a Rueben and for his side some veggies and dip. He loved his too. Plus the staff was super friendly, very pleasant atmosphere. We walked over after visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, about 1/2 mile each way. read more

Yelp did not disappoint! Such a cute place with great food and an incredibly polite staff. It's always nice to find one of these special places that's off the beaten tourist path. My wife loved her tuna melt as much as I enjoyed my turkey melt. And we were amazed by our daughter's devour the entire turkey club. Very clean and welcoming atmosphere! read more

Old classic diner with the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. I came over quick from the airport to get a quick lunch to take back. I parked on a meter quick and was greeted as soon as I walked in. She offered a menu, pointed out their specials, and told me to pick any seat. I ordered the Turkey Reuben with a side of pasta salad. It was ready within 5-10min and I was heading back to the airport. The sandwich was fantastic and full of flavor. It was the perfect portion and the price was very reasonable. It came with fries which I felt were disappointing. They were soggy rather than crispy. The pasta salad was very fresh and a great side to my sandwich. I didn't love the broccoli, which seemed strange in a pasta salad. Overall, quality old school diner with fantastic employees. The food was ready quickly and everything was prepared fresh. Competitive prices on a large menu. I'll definitely remember this place when I'm back in town. read more

The food was great and so was the service. I would definitely recommend the Potato Pancakes and the Chicken Shawarma. Very friendly staff and ample portions. Felt like a step back in time. read more

Soft homemade cookies- pb, choc chip, and oatmeal raisin- for $0.75 each. My hot grilled chicken ranch wrap and onion rings meal was done in less than ten minutes! Warp speed! Huge parking lot adjacent to building. Full bar inside. Wrap was about ten bucks and didn't have any ranch flavor but was juicy with something and had plenty of meat. It was hot and had lettuce and tomato. Came w small side of deliciously creamy flavorful potato salad which is saying something as most of the time potato salad is an incredibly boring filler to me! Onion rings were $4 and came w plenty of rings and ketchup. Lightly crispy and perfectly fried. read more

Went back to try new sandwiches and sides this week and have to say we are definitely SOLD on this deli! This time we both ordered Rueben sandwiches and they came with fries. The sandwiches were delicious and the fries to die for!! I also ordered a side of pasta and potato salad to try for future reference. They have perfected both! Usually when you order pasta or potato salads they can be bland and not very flavorful. Not here! They are super tasty and I am always all about the sides, so I was super happy (and very full) when we left! read more

My husband and I had lunch here while passing through Cleveland and visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The menu had so many interesting things to choose from and the prices were very reasonable. I had the Rueben Sandwich with potato salad and my husband had the Gyro with home cut fries. Both were absolutely delicious! The corn beef and potato salad were house made and so good. The restaurant is very comfortable and clean and the service was exceptional. Convenient, affordable parking right across the street. read more

This place was amazing!! Friendly service great food!! Will absolutely come back here next time I'm in Cleveland!

First timers from Columbus, Ohio we stumbled upon Barristers because of an adjacent parking lot (for the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame). Greeted warmly by Mary, we felt immediatedly welcome and at ease. A real daily-fresh Deli, with meats piled high behind viewable glass. The service was prompt and friendly, the Reuben, stuffed with fresh corned beef was delicious, and the atmoshere was full of laughter and food satisfaction. Mixed drinks and/or beers were available and moderatley priced. We had a wonderful meal, and now have 1st hand knowledge of why Barrister's have been in business since the mid 1960s. Highly recommend it for anyone coming to Cleveland, Ohio. P. Bellamy read more

For the first time in my life I had pastrami that more than 50% consisted of fat. If that's how real pastrami is supposed to be, I apologize. Before today's lunch my experience said that pastrami is one of the leanest beef products. read more
