    Italian Beef 2 Au Jus Egg Rolls
    Olga N.

    Au Jus is a casual eatery that specializes in authentic Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches. I heard all about this place on social media. Finally decided to stop in when I was driving by and noticed "open late" sign. AMBIANCE: Simple cafe with minimal decor. White walls and digital menus. Faux marble wrap around bar and a few chairs are available to dine in. All guests were picking up to go orders during my visit. FOOD: The menu is straightforward. It was easy to review it during first visit and make quick decisions. There are multiple categories including Italian beef sandwiches, sausage sandwiches, pressed sandwiches, and sides. I ordered Philly sandwich ($13), fresh cut fries ($4.25), and two Italian beef egg rolls ($5). I ordered Philly sandwich since it's a classic and I felt like it would be the best choice. The meat tasted high quality. Unfortunately, I did not like any dishes. Meat in Philly sandwich was bland and could use more seasoning. It seemed like something was missing - cheese or something like mayo or other ingredients. It was literally bread and meat. The price for the size did not seem like good value. Italian beef egg rolls were dry both exterior shell and meat. The fries were a bit soggy but included a generous portion. I didn't eat much of my meal. Perhaps other menu items are tastier. The cafe has rewards program through Toast. You receive sign up 25 bonus points then 1 point for every $1.25 spent. Although my points did not calculate accurately, less points were provided. SERVICE: I didn't feel especially welcome and was rushed. The service was very quick, order was available in minutes. It was very impressive. This eatery is a good destination if you're craving quickly served sandwiches. It's especially true later in the day or on weekends when most businesses in Parma open early. I didn't find any favorite menu items but you might!

    Large Spicy Trifecta - huge portion of delicious food

    Au Jus has been on my list to try for a while- we're just never in that part of town. The owner is active on the All Things Food FB page and posts a lot of creative meals. Looks mouth-watering. We stopped in a couple weeks ago and the front area was packed with happy diners and people waiting for food. I entirely intended on getting an Italian Beef, but they have a Cuban and I can't resist so.... Our food was hot and fresh ready in an appropriate amount of time. What I mean by that is- nothing seemed microwaved or prepped too early or stale bread, soggy toppings. Nope. They don't cut corners here. Everything is fresh sliced and top quality ingredients. Now, my Cuban. I love a Cuban, but I have no idea what an authentic Cuban sandwich is supposed to taste like. I imagine this is the closest, because this was the best I have ever had. I don't make proclamations like that very often. The roast pork was out of this world. So much flavor and thoughtfulness. Not too overpowering, but offered hints of spice and citrus. Total perfection. Slathered with ham, pickles, melty Swiss cheese.... Yum. The bread was a little large or under filled for the sandwich, but the sub roll was tasty and toasty. I didn't mind having a few bites of just bread so I could try the au jus that came with husbands sandwich. I absolutely loved this sandwich and have been thinking about it since. Husband had the large Italian Beef and was shocked it fit his ample appetite. So delicious, with or without the jus. This meal was worth every cents high-quality ingredients, a creative and skilled chef, hard-working employees make this my favorite recent discovery. Do yourself a favor and stop by

    Wow, this is a first. Came in to try a third time. Guy asked if I had previously been there and was I a Yelp Elite? I told him I had been and am a Yelp Elite. He said he knew I left him multiple bad reviews and asked me to leave. He must have my Yelp picture up on a dart board in back. I felt like I was in an episode of Seinfeld "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" Didn't know 3 star reviews with constructive criticism were deal killers. Oh well. Went down to Corleone's and had a fantastic lunch! On our way home I stopped at GFS and bought Ditka's Italian Beef, then Heinens for Giardiniera and a freshly backed French roll.. Looking forward to a better dinner than I could ever get at this place for a fraction of the price!

    The sandwiches were so delicious we devoured them before I could take pictures! Fresh bread, absolutely fantastic roasted beef. Service with a smile. The cold Italian was made to specifications. The kitchen was the cleanest id ever seen!! I did take pics of the immaculate kitchen before I left...these were taken in the middle of the day!

    Best beef sandwich EVER!! Better than Chicago ;) Inside it's a very simple ordering area with a couple of high top chairs similar to a pizza shop. The staff is always eager to serve up amazing food and they really load those beefers up! Fresh melt in your mouth beef, incredible homemade au jus.... the fries are perfect too! Go get some!!

    I have been here only a couple of times, but each time the staff was very nice and the food was good. You get a big portion for the price. You are able to sit inside, but its very small. I know their corned beef was just for St Paddy's Day, but it was fantastic. I recommend checking them out.

    Now let me start with I am a Chicago native and I know my Italian Beefs! These are very high quality beef with little to NO fat. Spices were spot on. So hard if not close to impossible to find an authentic Chicago style beef here in the Cleveland area but they nailed it. Friendly service that also offers some counter top space to dine in.

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

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.

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.
