I first discovered Gourmands around 2002 when I worked in the area. It was famous then- great…read moreservice, delicious sandwiches, all my coworkers were obsessed with the chippers. We loved the spot and was always a treat when we had Gourmands for lunch. I am back working in the area and was pleased to see they were still open. It's been 20 years probably, I prepared myself to be disappointed. Surely, they can my be at the same caliber as before? I bet someone else bought the place and quality went downhill? I was gleefully wrong. Same great service. Same wonderful, plentiful menu. Same excellence and quality. Same chippers! My sandwich was Giant, perfectly crafted , fresh and ready in the appropriate amount of time. I was so happy to enjoy my lunch there and see it was still bustling with patrons. You must check out Gourmands

Just picked up an Italian Sub from here & it's delicious! The bread & ingredients taste so fresh &…read morethe Italian spread with olives is so tasty. If you're looking for an authentic deli, you have to stop by this place. Got some stuffed peppers to-go - they have regular & spicy options. They also have salads & pizza which I haven't tried yet but will definitely be back to try different things on their menu. The staff was friendly & helpful. Don't just drive by this place, wondering - go check them out!

Quaint Deli. It was crowded while I waited for my food. I…read morewas yelling at people in my head as they modified their subs! Eat it how it comes. Anyways, I got the Italian sub (because when in Rome, do as the Romans) the gal did offer to heat my sub and I took her up on it. I'm from Pittsburgh so the lack of Italian food in Cleveland sometimes, and only sometimes takes a toll on me. This was a refreshing find for me. The Italian comes with muffuletta on it. You know, the pickled vegetable/olive mix famous in the French Quarter of New Orleans?... My friend got the Caesar salad but with oil and vinegar. They also have coke products here! I don't drink much pop but when I waste calories on pop, it is only ever Coca Cola :) You can get pizza by the slice to go. The white artichoke pizza slices would've taken 40 mins so I opted for pepperoni. They put my slices in bags and I was on my way. I asked about the weekend hours (so I could bring my boyfriend when we aren't working) they do not have weekend hours. Gotta get here during the week YALL! It is entirely worth the commitment.

I think it is a bit pricy for the size as the NY style is smaller pizza for around $15, but not too bad since they have lots of good flavor and topping varieties! I did not go inside so can't speak about ambiance or service but from what I heard both were good! It was very easy to order online and make any modifications needed which I appreciate. The crust is phenomenal!!!! Love the crisp on the Detroit style and it wasn't too heavy as I tend to avoid Detroit styles for that reason. Also, the NY style woodfired crust was amazing I wish the bottom was crispier but that's not their fault as this was a togo order! Definitely give this place a go if you want something woodfired for good price and high quality specialty pizzas !

Heard about this place from a few people and decided to try it out…read more It's a take out only location, you can go in person or call in. I went for lunch just before noon. I ordered their turkey sandwich and it took around 5ish minutes or slightly more. They had a big order to fill. So expect some wait time if someone placed a big order. Sandwich was delicious, good amount of turkey. Did not see any options aside from what's on the menu, like toasted bread or mixing other ingredients from one sandwich to the other. They offer some other snacks too, chips, drinks, and cookies. Great spot for sandwiches, will come back to try their others.

I've been to this location several times and have given it good reviews in the past. If today was…read moremy first visit to this location, I would never ever come back. I took my father there on Sunday April 19th at 5pm. Before I get started with the negative, I would like the manager of this location to know that they are very lucky to have Maddy as an employee. Now for the bad: when we walked in, at least four tables were filthy. Three tables had their chairs up like they were getting ready to close and there were three dirty tables in the back. We sat at the only clean table. The employee named Katy should no longer be working there. I don't know how anybody gets paid to be that rude to people. She didn't smile she didn't say hello when I told her I didn't come there often she wasn't helpful. I only ordered two sandwiches and drinks. It was a low maintenance order and she literally made me feel bad for making her take the time to wait on me. It was a horrible customer experience. While I was there, some guy came in who had gone home and come back because he was given the wrong sandwich. I didn't hear her apologize once. I took a picture and it's posted on this website of the overflowing trash area. The picture that I posted doesn't include our trash. I had to put our trash on top of the pile of trash. The place was a mess. I will say there is potential in the employee name Maddy she was super excited about the company and how they keep things fresh. She was excited to talk about the company and seemed proud. To the management, this place needs one heck of a makeover in every sense of the word

This location was sub par compared to others I have been to unfortunately. I ordered two cheesesteaks and I tried a chicken wrap for the first time. I was not impressed the cheesesteak had bell peppers and it over powers the sandwich but once I pulled them off it was tasty. The wrap was just ok. So the fries are usually my fave but to my disappointment they were luke warm not full length and burnt. Hopefully they can do better in the future.

Update. Been a bit since we've eaten here. Still the same. Met some friends here on a Tuesday…read more Wasn't crowded. The server was very nice and accommodating. We haven't seen these friends in a bit so we were kinda eating and lounging and talking. We ordered the original corn beef to split the regular size and we got the homade potato and cole slaw. Our guests got the corn beef as well and potato pancakes as their side. One liked the potato pancakes and one did not. They are mash potato consistency not shredded. I tasted they were ok to me. The potato salad and cole slaw were both good. Better choice. The corn beef actually looked smaller than usual. It was good but I thought it had been larger in the past. Maybe not anymore. Service was good. Food came out on time. This is a good place to go. Prices are a bit high but it's a deli. You can do what we did and split the sandwich. It enough food. Bar is nice. The patio is nice too. It's a good space and they even have a party room if you want to rent it out. Slymans is an institution. We will be back at some point again.
