Vienna Distributing Co of Ohio

hot, wet and spicy
go there and kiss your sandwich
with tongue. and mustard.
Not too many places for a tongue sandwich here in Cleveland, and before you «eeeewww» just imagine what the next level of corned beef would be.
Let me tell you: get a tongue sandwich from here and you will never look back.
This is a no frills place where you can get Davis Bakeries fresh rye bread by the loaf, or half loaf, a huge assortment of meats and various pickles.
The sandwiches are on par with Mister Brisket but with better bread. Slyman’s is a distant second.
Carry on.

Smells awesome!!!
Got some home made tamalies that were pretty good with the way I prepared them and kinda wish I got some more!
I also picked up some steak pastrami and nibbled on that for a week too, it did seem a little dry and I tried to cook with it but only seemed to get drier but I am not a cold cuts kind of guy so maybe not take my word for it…
Go and grab something yourself and be the judge
Cheers!!!

I am a barbequer.
I spent a few years in Texas, so I’ve tried all manner of good barbeque and it is rough to find around Cleveland. Sure, there are some places reviewed on Unilocal,but I’m not looking for the finished product. I am looking for brisket.
A tip from my wife’s coworker alerted me to this place. They had decent prices on brisket (which still sits uncooked in my fridge, I’ll have to review that later) and are one of the few places to get it. However, again, this isn’t about barbeque or even raw brisket, which I happily bought.
No, this review is about the experience. I walked in and was hit by the smell. It was intoxicating. Corned beef. Oh my, did it smell good.
So I got in line, which was pretty substantial even though I got there 20 minutes before closing (6 pm, watch that). I saw all the bread and the toppings, which were not my concerns. I check out the huge sign with all the prices and an explanation of their offerings. But when I got to the front, something happened I did not expect. I was there to buy a raw brisket after all.
The nice man offered me a piece of butcher paper with two slices of corned beef.
Holy hell, was that good.
Like an idiot, I went on with my purchase. I bought a nice looking 10 pound brisket, vacuum packed (I didn’t expect it fresh cut, as this wasn’t a butcher, this is a distributor). Good size, decent fat cap (necessary for BBQ). I also bought a half pound of beef sticks, which are similar to the smokies they sell down at the west side market. Those were amazing. I walked out with my raw brisket and my wrapped up smokies and headed home.
A day later I’m still thinking about that corned beef though…

Hot corned beef served right off the slicer, Yes Please!
Well Cleveland you get teased by other fellow Americans, «Mistake by the Lake» God is not a fan of any of your sport teams. The Cleveland Browns relocation controversy. LeBron James would have been an all-​time hero, now he’s a mere all-​time villain.
Well things have changed, for Heavens Sake you have Vienna Distributing right on the main drag «Carnegie» one of the life line roads of Cleveland.
It’s simple (go early to avoid the lines) you walk in Grab your loaf of rye bread off the shelf, maybe some pickles in the case, (stay in line) pick up a sandwich pal dressing (I get the thousand Island type) Grab a jar of kraut and order 2lbs of meat w/​a ½ lb of Swiss cheese!
I usually can’t wait to get back to the office so I just prepare the sandwich on hood of my car and enjoy the classic reuben sandwich made with luscious warm corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, creamy dressing and swiss cheese piled high on Jewish Rye.
Thank you Lord I love me some Cleveland!

this place is amazing, why are there not more reviews!!!
