It's a fine Jewish deli, but there are others on the east side I like better. The smoked fish products and the corned beef are excellent, but the soups are so-so. The smoked tongue is definitely good, but I've had better. The knishes are foul, and I've even tried them several times just to make sure it wasn't some sort of accident. But if you're in the immediate vicinity and want a quick and quiet lunch or dinner and don't want to brave Chagrin traffic any more than you have to, Corky's is fine; there's always something to eat there as long as you're selective.
Authentic corn beef hash with poached eggs excellent. Recommend the chicken matzoh ball soup the dumpling is so fine and still floating with real chicken clear broth soup. Service is excellent
Best corned beef hash I've had in a very long time. It was seasoned very well and the poached eggs added that yummy eggy-ness I was looking for. Prompt and quick service for breakfast even with a flight to catch.
Very good food... Made the way grandma made it.
The corned beef and escrambled egg sandwich is very good. The eggs are perfectly scrambled, not overcooked. The corned beef is so flavorful. This is a great sandwich. The kaiser roll has a great crunch to it, not heavy or gummy.
Great food. I had a wonderful lunch of beef brisket sandwich and gravy. If you are looking for a meal to fill you up this is the place! Great service, prices and atmosphere. I will be going back!
Great Sandwiches, Hefty Price. We've eaten here for a long time. I always felt that the corned beef was good. Especially the corned beef on potato pancakes. Another favorite is half tongue, half liver pate on rye with horseradish. Good stuff. Just know in advance that it's not the cheapest place in town.
Atmosphere is fun. My husband and I love the big corn beef sandwiches but have also enjoyed amazing breakfast and desserts. Definitely a must see or taste if you live in the area or even if your just visiting. It's been around forever and still has it!
A great Jewish deli that I have frequented for the past 35-40years. Excellent deli food. Vienna corned beef. The semi rancid cloudy mystery brined pickle and tomato bowl is gone!(thank God!) A fairly recent remodeling job about 12 years ago, designed by Herschman and built out by Nyman Construction is first rate. The servers are still classic Corkys: You get your food when they're ready to give it to you. lol I love this place!
Best Jewish deli this side of the Atlantic!
FANTASTIC. This place is better than Slyman's as far as selection, and their corned beef takes a close second. Everything else is super fantastic including the service. This place is ten times the deli than Zingerman's in Ann Arbor. If you're within a 100 miles of this place it's worth the stop. When you see 10 Jewish guys ordering the most expensive breakfast on the menu and smiling I think it speaks volumes. AAA++++
It's wonderful!. I drive from Tenn. to Buffalo twice a year. This place is 100 yards off I-271 at Chagrin Bvld exit. Best corned beef sandwich outside NYC. Service is "interesting." Not slick but efficient. You won't get "Hi, my name is Jason and I'll be your server today."
Definition of Jewish deli in Cleveland. This place is the definition of Jewish deli in Cleveland and everything on the menu that I have tried in probably over 100 trips is good. Servers are wonderfully rude and brusque so you feel right at home. Dinner specials are a variety of authentic eastern European Jewish fare and always tasty. The restaurant is good, almost as good as the owners think, and a good choice for comfort Jewish food in Cleveland's eastern suburbs.
My first stop. The first stop everytime I am in town. Have never found a bad choice, but you have to start with the corned beef for your first visit. Best anywhere.
Love it. Simply put, this place offers the best corned beef outside of the 5 boroughs in NY.
When I think of 'Jewish Deli' in the Cleveland area, I think of Corky & Lenny's. As a matter of fact, since Lou & Hy's closed down years ago, it's the only Jewish Deli that I can think of around here (I've heard good things about Jack's Deli in Cleveland Hts, but I haven't been there yet).
Corky and Lenny’s is an amazing deli and I love the corned beef! My melt was on Challah and grilled with warm corned beef and Muenster cheese Delicious! Served with a side of excellent coleslaw. I had to have a potato pancake too. Server Susan was friendly and efficient! If I lived here I would eat here every week!
Very much a classic Jewish deli. Made my heart happy to stand at the deli counter and enjoy the atmosphere. Such an amazing dinner, highly recommend the Beef (brisket) & Potatoes (latkes).
I stopped here for lunch at 1:00 pm and I was seated right away and given a menu. My server came right over and took my drink order, and I also placed my order. I ordered a Hot Turkey Sandwich with Mashed Potatoes and gravy.
After a couple of minutes, he brought me my lunch. I looked so good. The turkey was sliced thin and there was a lot of meat. The turkey was super tender and moist. Everything was smothered in warm brown gravy. The mashed potatoes were creamy, but you could tell it was homemade, because of very small lumps, it was very good.
This is my favorite place to eat when I am in town, and I was so happy to be able to eat here before I left. I would say this is the best hot turkey sandwich I have ever had, everything about it was good and filling. If you like open faced sandwiches, please try this one and let me know what you think.
I will definitely be back.
This is the quintessential deli! Located in a strip center in Beachwood with good parking. I had kreplach soup and a julienne salad, which I asked for chopped and tossed. Everything was to die for! Granted, I’m a deli fiend, but this was Deli Nirvana!😊
It was a pleasure to visit this cafe😋, pleasant atmosphere and caring staff👌
I grew up in New York city in the 60’s and 70’s when there were lots of Jewish delis. My go to was (and is) Liebmans in the Bronx. I’ve never had better. Lennys comes close. The pastrami was really good. The corn beef was shaved which is not my style but it was good. The pastries are delicious. The lox was great. The bagels aren’t New York quality but still very good. All delis are pricey but you do get a lot of food. You can easily feed two people from one sandwich. I will go back next time I go to Cleveland.
Had the Ruben nice grill in bread pastrami was good as well as the potato salad and flavorful cabbage soup was delicious the eclair was a delightful way to finish the meal
Enjoyed the challah corned beef sandwich and the stuffed cabbage and my son had the beef and latkes. Everything was delicious. You can’t order online so there may be a wait when you call to order over the phone. The desserts are amazing. Also a huge drink selection for takeout. Very busy after 3pm.
My blood pressure medication had me a lil loopy this morning but everyone was so helpful and nice to me. I really appreciate great service so thank you. The cheesecake is heavenly.
The best Jewish Deli outside of NYC. In a strip mall, so not the greatest atmosphere. The servers were great but definitely super busy.
Last here over 40 years ago and not much has changed, which is a great thing!
My server was very engaged with me. He actually made sure my needs were met. I had not been there in 17 years. It was the same good tradition of service.
Really amazing! I have gotten an earful about how great this place is from my brother in law for years and finally went. My server was amazing. He knew what we needed before asking and was really nice. Besides great staff, the food lives up to the hype. Everyone in our group had amazing meals and were so glad we drove out of our way to go there for lunch. Will absolutely go again.
First time here, recommended by a friend of mine. Not a fancy restaurant but they serve very tasty Jewish deli! Ordered three little tootsies and I like it. I will def come back soon!

I stopped here the other day for lunch and was seated right away. I ordered the roast turkey with potatoes with the dark gravy. It hit the spot for me, I cleaned everything from my plate. I also have eaten their Tuna Melt with mashed potatoes which is very delicious.
Very fast service and wonderful food. Best Jewish deli in NE Ohio. Server was efficient but very impersonal. Other than that it was quite alright.
Sever outstanding!! The food had a Genuinely authentic flavor!
