Sits on the corner across from the casino along with Jake's pizza. There are two entrances and a sign on the door that said remove your hood before entering. I was In town for business and heard about this the night before from a local. Went in and got a friendly welcome from Jake. That deserves 5 stars right there. I got the corned beef and turkey and a donut. He rang up my meal and a separate bag for the donut then put them both in a plastic bag. So nice. Another group came in during my transaction and they were greeted as well. I saw the tip jar but had no cash. Definitely worth a dollar or two if you ever come in. The sandwich looked and tasted amazing. Hit the spot too. If I ever come back to Cleveland I'll definitely stop here. read more

Got the hot corned beef sandwich. It was 18$. No place to sit and eat. Food was microwaved, meat was chewy. Sandwich did not look like the picture board version of it. Employees were nice and professional but I don't think it was worth the price I paid. read more

The prices have gone up and the quality has gone down. I brought some friends there and I haven't been back in a while so I recommended it, what a mistake! To be fair, my friends were very impressed with the selection of disposable vapes and energy drinks read more

That corn beef is Great service, everyone is super friendly. Came here 2 days in a row for the sandwiches. read more

Great sandwich, friendly, fast service. Had the Reuben, piled high with tender, melt in your mouth meat, the mustard was awesome too

They made great sandwiches available 24 seven and was extremely happy that I went there. The service was stellar and very friendly, and it had a very East Coast old school vibe read more

In town for work and needed some late night grub. Ordered from Uber Eats. The hot pastrami, corned beef and swiss on rye was pretty good. I live in NY so I'm a tough critic, but overall I enjoyed it. Stopped into the shop late at night two days later since I was passing by. Wanted to grab something quick on my way to the hotel. Snagged a water, a bag of chips and asked for an order of the stuffed grape leaves in the cooler. The gentleman looked at me as though I was from another planet so I showed him where they were. He packed them up but it was taking a minute and I should have known something was wrong. Paid and left. Halfway down the block I decide to pull them out and take a bite. They were covered in mold!!! Now I know what took so long. He was looking at them to figure out if they were still good or not and sold them to me anyway. He was gracious enough to give me my money back and toss them in the trash, but I couldn't believe I almost walked home with these in my bag. I gag just thinking about this picture and hate to think about what was lurking inside. read more

Wanted to try a local sandwich shop and the reviews were pretty good. Turns out it was a sketchy area (two housing challenged individuals came into the shop when I was there and were run out by the owner), the shop itself was very cluttered and offered no tables to eat on site, the meat was clearly pre-sliced and highly processed. It simply was not a good experience, at all. read more

Having to get lunch on the fly one day and not wanting to get the traditional fast food, we opted for Jake's. A short walk from where we were staying made it that much better. Kind of a mix of a quick sandwich shop and a convenience store type of setup. The menu offers a lot of different sandwiches, so you can take your time to look over the menu, which I suggest you do. The original sandwich I wanted wasn't available due to not having bacon, so it was a good call to look over the entire menu. Since there was no bacon, I went with a grilled cheese. I know what you are thinking, why a grilled cheese? Well, I wanted to be a kid that day...not really. I wanted quick and I knew this wouldn't take long to make. When I ordered this I thought it was going to be a traditional one tier grilled cheese. I was wrong, it came out kind of like a triple decker sandwich. I had picked up a bag of chips and a water to go with it and it came to something like $8, not bad for a quick lunch. Staff were polite and busy. We ate in house at the little counter near the window. Makes for some good people watching in this busy area downtown. read more

Really good corned beef sandwiches! Got it on Rye bread with melted cheese and mustard. The corned beef is sliced paper thin and stacked high - so very tender and tasty! I also ordered one of their whole large Dill pickles. Sour, crisp, and delicious! It's a tiny place, there are maybe four stools by the front window to sit and eat, otherwise plan to get your food to go. read more

I was walking past this business and saw a man digging through the trash for food. A worker came outside and brought the man in for food. I was the only one around. It wasn't for social media or views. Great job! Way to set an example. read more

My "go to" sandwich shop downtown. Fabulous corned beef. I had the new Yorker on Monday and the corned beef and pastrami on Wednesday!

Pizza overpriced and rubbery crust. Seemed like a store bought pizza and got pepperoni which they only put 5 small pieces. The wings were decent that's why I'm giving them 2 stars. read more

I ordered the Hot Pastrami on Rye. Quick service, friendly and yummy! Definitely a great option especially during the quarantine. Gloves were changed before and after they made my order. read more

This post is one of great concern, first let me say that the employees at Jacks have been nice, very nice and pleasant, but what I purchased was not, well half of the purchase. I purchased a steak standwhich when I got home it was roast beef, I thought no big deal because I like roast beef, the sandwhich looked amazing, I heated up the sandwhich because by the time I got home and I reside across town far from Jakes, I cut the sandwhich in half and took a bite, the meat smelled and taste spoiled, the pickles were not fresh either they were flimsy and tasted aweful, I have eaten their food before and it has always been amazing but not this time. I also went next door and got some pizza. They charge $3.99 for a slice of pizza but was selling two slices for $6.00, the pizza was delicious but it made me sick, That has never happened before. There is a problem with meat everywhere. Most of the meat in resturants and stores being sold is spoiled, so many things are not natural foods anymore ... Its lab created specimens. I have no ill feelings towares jakes as I said they have always seem to be very friendly and efficients but the prices are way overpriced... the food is not what it use to be... I wish Jakes all the best.... but the deli meats and hot meats being sold... for me ... Never again... I hope that Jakes would make changes... Serve the same foods that you would serve your own family... and not sell something that you definitely would not eat... I can mix greek yogurt with self rising flour to make pie crust and purchase fresh toppings from gordons foods... Some folks are going to lose customers over bad quality in foods that they are serving like preparing and then still selling spoiled foods, meats or vegetables... It only takes one time for me to have one bad experience and that will cause me to never spend nor shop at a business again... Again I wish them well but for me Jakes is a no no... read more

Overpriced with average food, but open 24 hours and available on most delivery sites. Some decent experiences, but $14 for a subpar cheeseburger and then an additional $5 for a tiny order of fries that tasted like they just came out of the microwave?? Meh. I understand slightly higher prices given it's the the only place to get late night eats downtown on many evenings, but there are better options at several gas stations within a 2 min drive of downtown (halal type food). Would increase stars if the prices better reflected the quality and potions. read more

So over priced its unreal! $13 for a corned beef sandwich the size of a cocktail napkin?? I ate the sandwich in 3 bites and they used maybe 4 slices of meat?? For $13 dollars? No fries??? Just a withered, scaly old pickle? For $13 dollars? Unreal. read more

Went to Jake's for ice cream. Got a great mint chocolate chip shake. My sweetheart got a chocolate peanut butter cone. They were outstanding! I highly recommend them for an evening snack. Thanks Jake's! read more

This was a great find at 2am. Tender juicy flavorful pastrami and swiss on rye. A bit pricey but i was paying for the convenience too

Run-of-the mill sandwich place, nothing spectacular or revelatory by any stretch, but not horrible either. I took my chances with the pastrami, and while it did give me mild indigestion and the accompanying pickle spear was bland, it was alright. I'd say it could've benefited from more pastrami, but no, not really. Onion maybe, but no more pastrami. It was very greasy and rather meh. The price was right though, and bland as it was, it was still a free pickle. A random pigeon stopped by while my brother and I were eating and took a look around - luckily he stayed on his side of the counter. If I lived in Cleveland and worked downtown, I'd probably hit this place up for lunch and get something other than the pastrami, but it's not worth going out of the way for it. read more

Jakes is everything you want in a late night deli: 1) 24/7 gruff, funny and efficient service 2) colorful drunk characters 3) they won't try to swindle you 4) grungy but in that cool rock star sort of way, not the homeless guy on the corner way 5) gyros and corned beef, need I say more? Seriously, next time you find yourself in public square with a late night craving, treat yoself read more

Left the casino at 2:30, walked across the street to jakes. Service was awesome, met jakes son, food was better than expected! Would definitely go back! A+ read more

The sandwich was good, for the only food one can get at 4 a.m. downtown. HOWEVER, the person working the register charged me an extra 50 cents, obviously trying to take advantage of assuming my inebriation. When I asked why, he instantly opened the register and gave me the 50 cents back, obviously knowing he had been caught. When I got the actual sandwich, ordered as the bacon egg and cheese bagel, there was no bacon at all. When I walked back in to ask where the bacon was, the guy rolled his eyes and pulled some pre-made bacon out of a drawer and slapped it on, never changing his gloves. AKA DONT GO HERE UNLESS DESPERATE FOR FOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. And watch how much they actually charge you. read more

The location is great just right across from the tower center and the casino. I stop in there for a quick meal before hopping on a train to the airport. I ordered corned beef on rye. The sandwich was a decent size for about 10 bucks, it might be a tad on a pricey side. The corned beef was really good and rye bread was ok too. Not only was it satisfied my craving, it was nice and flavorful as well. read more

Jake's - Corned Beef on Rye - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Price ok, location very good but they have two other corned beef shops within a stones throw and are clearly 3rd best in that group. Open very late is a plus but all the sandwiches should be sliced fresh which mine certainly was not. Dry and small compared to Corkys and Ontario which is hard to understand. How you serve up a lessor product and expect to get repeat business is a complete mystery in that area. read more

Although I'm sure the other food is great, I was dissatisfied with the falafel. I came here because it was open late and the reviews were good, but the falafel was just the worst. Not the vegetables, tatziki sauce, or the pita bread, those were just fine. It was just the falafel. The texture, flavor, and moisture of the food were all wrong. The texture: Crumply, yet chunky. The flavor: Far too salty. Almost overwhelming The moisture: None... It was insanely dry. Far too dry. I just ate the sandwich as a veggie wrap. If you go here looking for good falafel, you have gone to the wrong place. read more

Tasty!! I got the hot corned beef sandwich on this 55 degree day and it really hit the spot. The rye bread was soft and delicious, and they piled on the meat and the sauerkraut. Everyone working there was super friendly. I wish the counter was a little larger or they had a seating area, but my belly was satisfied! read more

Not good food, hard lamb, who puts lettuce in a gyro? Fries were small nasty and flavorless. Didn't help having to talk to the clearly prejudiced cop posted up in there too. I should've drove to McDonald's. I had 3 bites of my gyro and fries. read more

Best corned beef sandwich for the money in Cleveland, way better than the one I had at Mabel's for $6.00 more, plus better service. The owner treated everyone with great respect. read more

Downtown late night in CLE, or early, or lunch, or whenever?? Go to Jake's they have everything from smokes to face sized donuts. Whatever you need they have it. For some reason I just wanted to walk in everything I strolled on by and I did, well twice. Once for a huge face sized apple fritter, which was really good, like real good. It's fast efficient has two doors, it's where ya need to stop when you need what you need. Check 'em out. read more

Arrived a little early for the A CHRISTMAS STORY 5k and wanted a little bite so we ran into Jakes the place is very small no place to sit down to eat. I ordered a pastrami sandwich on sourdough and it was delicious. read more

The art of sandwich craft. It really is an art; the ability to properly build a sandwich so that it's contents don't fall out the back (or worse, out the front, on your clothes) is taken for granted. The folks at Jake's do not have this gift. I got a "smoked" turkey sandwich on wheat with 1000 Island. The "smoked" turkey was your run of the mill, cheap deli turkey -but they do give you a lot of thick slices. They were out of wheat so I got Italian - small, thin slices of Italian. So we have thin, small slices of Italian, smothered in 100 Island on both slices, then lettuce and the turkey in the middle. Slip, slip, slide! By the time I got to the second half of my sandwich, the bread was so soggy I couldn't pick it up. I had to do this sort of grab, scoop and shove. Not attractive. Overall it was very meh. I ended up throwing most of my second half away because I didn't want to struggle with eating it. Flavor-wise, I wasn't worth the struggle. Another one to mark off my lunch list. read more

WOW! 2:30 AM and this place was open?!?! I couldn't believe my eyes. Jake was everything I needed after a late night in a drowsy city. We waited for cheesesteaks while appetizing on an apple fritter and some much needed water. I can't wait to come back here...perhaps for lunch this time? read more

It was late night, and i happen to get pretty hungrey after midnight, so i looked up "24hr food near me" and it just so happens that this place is open with corned beef and/or pastrami sandwhiches!? I was STOKED! Im from NY, we cant all afford KaT'z Delicatessen sandwhichesn they are 24hrs lol , BUT I think its safe to say this spot definately did the job with the pickle and slaw?! Yeah. I'm Happy this place was open. read more

I think that the best way to describe the service is day and night, maybe its the food, maybe it's just because your culinary options are limited but the nighttime food is way better than the daytime. The portions seem larger. The food seemed fresher. It just a better experience. Their Chicken Phillies and Chicken Gyros delicious some days but others menu options seem over rated (Kyrie Irving 10+ dollar corned beef comes to mind). All in all their good but still have room to Improve. read more

Went here because it was the only thing open and was greeted with poor attitude, shitty food, and insane - insane prices. Don't bother, there's a Starbucks inside Tower City that's cheaper and better. read more

I stopped by here without any planning, I was just hungry. I was pleasantly surprised with superb service and food. I had a spinach calzone, which was well priced at just $3. It is conveniently located at the center of downtown Cleveland and it is pretty much on the way to anything. The Lebanese owner was kind and helpful as I made my selection and I would definitely visit again to try some of the unique dishes in this cornerstone cafe. read more
