Just another corner store in downtown Cleveland,,thought i was getting some authentic food,got some warmed up doughy chicken that looked uncooked,just left the casino at 5am and was very hungry, thought i was gonna get some great food read more

The cop stationed there and another guy (who seemed like an employee-so if not it looks BAD and I'm sure you're paying the cop 20/hr to be there like most places around here) openly talking and laughing about "fucking around on their wives". What a bad way to represent your business, bragging about openly disrespecting people (unless you don't count women as people?). I came in to buy a sandwich after work and literally walked out upon having to listen to and hearing to that conversation between said guy and cop. There are too many places around here to give my business to-I'll be hell bent before I spend my money at a place that allows for that kind of nonsense and disrespect. read more

I went in there tonight. As i was prepared to order my food, the owners son started saying some racist shit. He then charged me for the food I didnt eat when I left the place because I left when he made racist comments. read more

Wow is this place expensive! I wouldn't have even ordered anything from here in the first place but I was with my mom and she had her stomach set on corned beef. It was $10 for a Rueben. The sandwich was pretty good...but tiny and did not include any sides. Drink prices were outrageous as well. Ya, this restaurant is right across from Tower City/Casino, but the seating facing the window with views of people getting on and off the bus ruins it. read more

Big corned beef fan and reuben fanatic, that being said: this place was phenomenal. Little dive, you wouldn't think twice to go in but you'll be thankful you did. read more

The Yelp information is incorrect, they are open 24/7, and man, do they know how to provide sustenance to the late niggt diner. I can't Imagine you can do better than Jake's after a long night of making regrets! read more

As a Los Angelian (I think that's how you spell it), I've had quite a few great deli sandwiches in my day. I was here visiting Cleveland for 5 days and I had Jake's 3 times. Not only is it the best sandwich in the area, they're open 24 hours and never lose quality. I had myself a good time, stayed up late and experienced Cleveland, and I still was always craving Jake's. It is by far the best sandwich in the area. Despite the average size of the sandwiches, it is really no bigger than I needed. Any bigger and I would be too stuffed. Jake's knows how to make a great sandwich, and always being open only helps them. I recommended the corned beef or pastrami. Both were delicious. read more

HOLY COW, I love this place. The staff was friendly and funny and the prices aren't bad at all. We stopped in here before our New Year celebrations and had probably the best reuben I have ever tasted. I'm kind of picky when it comes to any meat, and I've often been disappointed by corned beef, but this was absolutely stellar! Tons of prefect corned beef piled on the sandwich did make it a little difficult to eat, but I'll definitely take a messy and tasty sandwich any day. Who cares if the contents fall out onto the paper? That's what fingers are for! Just lean over the paper it was wrapped in, protect your lap with a napkin and chow down. I can't wait until I have an excuse to go downtown and get another one of these sandwiches. Wow...my mouth is watering right now. read more

Great late night spot in the town that doesn't serve food after 9pm, ordered the Kyrie Irving special, and it was awesome, quick and efficient service, plenty of dishes to choose from, nice little classic deli with great service. read more

Said they were known for their gyros but it was subpar. The meat was only on half of my sandwich and lacked flavor. It was quick but that was the only nice part about my experience. May give it a second chance, but highly unlikely. read more

great place to eat at when there is nothing else open. Everything else was closed. This place was jumping,,lots of people. The casino is next door, so patrons stumble out of the casino and come to Jake's. I ordered the cheeseburger and some hot wings. Both were good, filled my tummy when needed to most. Service was good, didn't have to wait long for food. will recommend for those late night munchies...... read more

Love their corned beef! The service is good, prices reasonable, and it's fun to chat with other customers while waiting for your order to get filled when you stroll in at 2AM. They're open late, way late. Corned beef like Clevelanders should have it. read more

Egg salad isn't breakfast guy working late shift 1/27-28. Egg salad isn't breakfast. Egg salad isn't breakfast. Like whoever thinks egg salad is breakfast please write me with your explanation. Please! Egg salad sandwiches are not breakfast you nerd read more

Placed an order -upon processing and getting the order for food . The cashier was not wearing a mask (wearing the mask below his chin) . The sign on their doors clearly stated masks were required yet the cashier and person preparing my food was not wearing a mask. I proceeded to say I expected if I have to wear a mask the person making my food and the cashier would be wearing a mask. I requested my money back and he said I had to wait for the manager/owner to come back . I am waiting for the manager to come back and I see someone walk in the door in dirty street clothes without a mask. They let him enter the store . I walked back in to check about getting my money back again and I found out the man I saw walked in is the manager!!! He didn't have a mask on see the picture ! At first he refused to give me my money back until I told him I am reporting him to be health department . No one wants someone germs and breathe to be all over their food during a pandemic . Wear a mask !!! VIOLATION!! read more

I have always walked past this place because of its location relative to Tower City and the usual business crowd in there at lunch time... I figured this place would serve up average sandwiches at above average prices. Boy was I wrong! I was first amazed at how reasonable the prices were - an average sandwich is about $5.50. For the price, these sandwiches weren't hulking, but there was a lot of meat to deal with. One will easily fill you up. A friend ordered a gyro and we have both never seen one so big before. Definitely check this place out. read more

They used to be a good authentic deli, now they cut costs and take advantage of people. I'll never eat here again. Ordered an extra pastrami sandwich because I was so hungry, walked back to my home, it was the wrong sandwich and two bites into this $15 sandwich I was so upset they gave the wrong sandwich so I took the 15 minute back walk because of principle. They admitted it was the wrong sandwich and offered to make me a new one. The second sandwich was smaller than the first one. I complained and wanted to return it; was told they refuse a refund because they made two sandwiches , even though they were wrong. Will never support a business like this that treats loyal customers like this. All they do now is take advantage of drunk people at the casino, made their sandwiches half as big, and charge the same because people won't recognize. I was treated with such disrespect after wanting to a return a sandwich they openly admitted messing up. I really hope someone reading this that knows Jakes agrees they used to be a good deli but now they're basic and cutting costs. Taking advantage of people. I'll write as many negative emails as I can for weeks/months because of the disrespect tonight. It's about principle at this point, I didn't do anything wrong. The new guy making your sandwiches just sucks bring back the old guy and stop taking it out on your customers. read more

Okay, so I went to downtown Cleveland for the New Year's concert. Had to wait in line and was freezing my ass off in the winter storm when I identified this gem in the blizzard. I just wanted something warm to drink and a little snack to ease off my hunger. Coffee was WARM. I also got a huge brownie that was only $2. IT WAS SO GOOD. Not too sweet, very filling, and very cheap. Can't speak too much about the overall ambience because it was crowded at the time during the concert. It's not a fancy restaurant or anything - just a simple store for grabbing a cheap and easy bite. I'd go back for the brownies and also want to try their corned beef the next time. Will keep this review updated. read more

The Gyro sandwich was pure salt. I tried scraping the sauce off and that didn't help. The worst sandwich I had in my entire life at a cost of $8.45. The positive reviews must be from the family and friends not actual customers. Will never go there again. read more

I love this place!!! Best corned beef in town! I love the Rueben sandwich on rye!! Excellent service, great location.

Don't matter how good the sandwiches are its how the workers are treated that really matters. The workers are paid under the table and are paid under minimum wage, and there are many businesses like this in Cleveland, it has to stop. These owners are taking advantage of their workers. read more
