    My hand did not get bigger and this is supposed the be a regular Ruben for $19 that doesn't come with a side or drink.

    For a carry out only restaurant the prices are very high, as if the gratuity is added in. No sides offered with the sandwich. Fatty parts were in my Ruben also.

    The "sound system"

    I would never have stopped here to eat on my own...because it looks like a drive by, seedy kind of place. Glad I trusted my friends and went in! There was a line of folks ordering to-go meals and several folks sitting at the window booths and small dining tables. Jamie greeted us with waters and menus and promptly took our orders. The meals were prepared faster than I could have expected and exactly as we ordered. Here's the funny part... the sound system is an outdated radio with two tiny speakers mounted on a shelf in the middle of the room and the cashier was eating her lunch, had food on her lip, all while checking out a customer and talking on her cell with no bluetooth or earbuds! We were dyin with laughter!!

    Ruebens, Corned Beef, Roast Beef and Turkey...oh my!

    I ordered Superior Restaurant for our office St. Patrick's Day luncheon and everyone was thrilled with their sandwich selection. The attention to detail and quality for the price cannot be beat. Always great whether you order in, or sit at the counter with Jamie. I have been going here for over 30-years and wouldn't go anywhere else for a Cleveland Corned Beef.

    Another fine breakfast instItution in Cleveland ! I actually grew up in this neighborhood and this is one of 5 breakfast places in this neighborhood. Which one is best ? You decide , this one is actually my favorite for breakfast. The corned beef here is off the chain and all sandwiches. The inside is spacious, gets super crowded during lunch hour , and closes at 2:30 pm . Very clean inside and the staff is friendly and attentive. About their business here . They have nice dinner specials like meatloaf ,liver and onions just to name a couple. So check em out right on East 30 th and Superior.

    The things I love about Cleveland. Iconic small breakfast lunch eateries just outside of downtown. Superior has been around for decades and surprisingly things are still the same. Great frood great service. A true staple of the city,and still surprisingly still cheap

    Corned Beef goodness

    This place has a long history in Cleveland and a long takeout line during lunch. Its been in the same location for a long time, used to be an entirely different building from what you see now, but it burnt down and had to be rebuilt. Since then the inside hasn't changed too much, but there have been renovations for the furniture so now it all looks pretty good. No frills deli, where you can count on good corned beef and friendly service. I've been going here since I was little, it's actually the first place my dad took my mom to when they moved here. I don't really recall getting anything but the corned beef basically. I'm sure I've gotten other things when i was younger, but of course don't remember what. My usual order now is fried mushrooms and a corned beef sandwich. I've also tried the pastrami and the cheddar potato pockets. All are so delicious!!! I can always count on good corned beef here, and so much of it that I have to split one or else I can never ever finish. The beef is packed on and you literally have a sandwich that is way bigger than your mouth can handle. Thinly sliced beef that just soo good. I really haven't found any other places that compare to how they make it. Sometimes I order it with coleslaw, which is such a perfect complement to the beef. Crispy and I'm getting my veggies (kinda). It comes with a half dill pickle which is always yummy too. Fried mushrooms are always fresh, and the pastrami sandwich is really goood too. Piping hot. A corned beef sandwich now runs 8.50. Prices have risen with the economy, but portions at least are still the same. It's so worth it. If you do come here, just go past the take out line and find yourself a seat. The waitress will be over in no time and your order will be on its way.

    The corn beef sandwich was the worst I've ever had. The meat was old and the sandwich was dry.

    Jack's Deli is an Eastern European/Jewish deli that's been a part of the community since the…read more1980's. The original owner grew up in then Czechoslovakia and brought a part of home to the US. Recently the deli was acquired by the Cleveland Restaurant Group. I've been visiting the deli for over half a decade when I crave Eastern European meals. Lately I've been less enthusiastic about visiting due to food changes. RECENT CHANGES: The deli operations have remained unchanged from the customer standpoint. There is still restaurant area and deli. The menu is the same. The hours of operating were reduced with few dinner times remaining. The food recently drastically worsened seemingly due to ingredients. Soups especially took a hit tasting more artificial. ATMOSPHERE: Casual, old style, mom and pop atmosphere. Most guests are families. The front of the business is a deli where you can order your goodies and pay at the counter. The back is the restaurant where you can get seated by the host who is located by the deli. The layout makes entry and exit challenging. FOOD: I always take my food to go, and never dined at the restaurant. I previously ordered many dishes and to be honest can't remember them all. All were good. As a result, I'll talk about my latest order. - Cabbage Borscht ($11.75 for a quart) - I'm from the country who invented borscht and had many borschts in my life from different countries. This is not borscht. It has no beets. It's a vegetable cabbage soup. The menu does not indicate this is a spicy soup, the receipt indicates "hot cabbage soup." The soup is spicy which borscht never is. Worst of all, there is a very strong hint of canned tomatoes or some tomato paste. I couldn't eat more than two spoons of this soup due to artificial flavor. It's very poorly made. It's hard to name this homemade soup as listed in the menu because of artificial ingredients. Real tomatoes would drastically improve this soup. - Mushroom Barley ($11.75) - The soup wasn't pleasant. It tastes slimy. I think that the problem is the base is some vegetable puree. I didn't enjoy it. - Knishes ($7.90 x 2) - I love knishes here and they taste the same as before. Very heavy on the meat (Rueben in my case) and delicious. To be very honest they don't always feel fresh but I love them just the same. SERVICE: Service is average. The guys at the deli aren't too warm or friendly. The checkout people are always nice. There is clearly some miscommunication between the kitchen and the front of the house. Items are frequently promised but then denied. The front of the house seems to not know at all what's available in the back. There has to be some communication or inventory tool to fix this. It's confusing to the first time customers. It's also confusing to me with every order. PARKING: Plenty of parking available with two entrances and exits. The main entry from Cedar Road is the easiest. Stay vigilant as you navigate the parking lot, there are some narrow parts and alleys with two way traffic. The one differentiating factor of this restaurant was its homemade appeal. Everything tasted like someone's Eastern European grandma shared the recipe and prepared the food. Now the food is tasting commercial and lost its initial appeal. I'll be back to Jack's Deli for the deli (knishes) but won't be ordering any restaurant items again.

    Been coming here for years. There was a recent ownership change as I've been told. The long-time…read morefamily owners sold to a local restaurant chain. I hope that was good for the family. The menu is the same, the staff is pleasant, and it is clean, but you can feel it's a different place. My LEO was horribly overcooked, as was the veg omelette. Weird to overcook eggs when the place was half-full at 11:00. I need to return and try the CB and pastrami before I make a decision about how the new owners are doing. I do hate paper signs and they were all over the front deli cabinet.

Good luck. They have a happy hour. We took advantage of that. $10 chicken sandwich and $5 fries. The fries are fresh cut and plenty to share. Super good. I am told the chicken sandwich was good. Chicken was thick and good. Pickles mayo all good. I got the pastrami. Pastrami is sliced thick with slaw and their homemade mustard. Pastrami good. Bread ok. Slaw OK. The homemade mustard was super strong and not that enjoyable. Had a kinda a horseradish taste. Didn't like it at all. Took over the meat. The meat by itself was pretty good. Moist, tender, tastee. But with the whole sandwich not good. Next time I know. And the sandwich for $18 was thick pieces of meat, I think I would have preferred sliced thin and stacked. Kinda like corn beef is. I think I wouldn't have fought eating it so much. Thick slices were awkward and I couldn't eat it cleanly. It was a puzzle that kept falling apart. Had to put it back together and with the mustard was too much for me. I did get a chocolate phosphate. Hadn't had one in a decade. It was good. Paper straw made it impossible to drink the last few sips cuz it can't hold up. We did get a black and white cookie to go and an oatmeal pie. Both really good. Oh and if you see a bakery item get it when you see it. Otherwise it's gone. Ordering dinner I saw a chocolate chip cookie but by the time I went to get it, it was gone. Prices for happy hour were good. But it's not cheap. Our bill was $47 total. That was 2 sandwiches, 1 order of fries, 2 drinks a phosphate and canned drink. No cookies. We got those later. So not cheap. Would I go back. Yes. I feel like I would try something else and give it a shot. I think now I know I'd do better.

Service was quick, and the staff was really helpful since it was my first time. The space has an old-school neighborhood deli feel lively, intimate, and the kind of place where everyone seems to know each other. I went with the pastrami on rye with Swiss and mustard, asking for the meat to be sliced a little thinner. The mustard had just enough kick, but the pastrami was the star. Tender, flavorful, and easily some of the best I've had. The sauerkraut was excellent too. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and I can definitely see why people recommend this place. Easy 9/10. I'll absolutely be back.
