This was one of our first stops at Findlay Market this Sunday - Silverglades is a cheese store that also has associated goods like crackers, jarred things (pickles), etc. All of the cheeses looked fantastic but we didn't have a freezer pack with us (and were visiting from the Detroit area). We did end up buying some naan crackers, which are tasty, and some cheese curds. The naan crackers were Stonefire brand, I believe, and $5.99 - I saw them for $3.99 the next day at a different shop (Jungle Jim's), though. The pickles and other jarred goods also looked tasty here. Worth stopping by if you like cheeses. read more

This is a great place to pick up some delicious cheese when you're at Findlay Market. There are a LOT to choose from. It can be a bit overwhelming, especially when it's crowded. Speaking of crowded, I was confused about our number. I thought I knew what it was, so when our actual number was called we almost missed our turn. The person behind the counter was not especially thrilled that we couldn't keep track of our number and, as a result, slowed things down a bit. Silverglades is convenient when you're at Findlay Market. That said, I'm going to keep my eyes open for a other cheese shops in the city. read more

Clarifying a few things: Silverglades has, by far, the most extensive selection of cheeses and cured meats at Findlay Market. It's not even close. The Rhined offers a small but AMAZING assortment of boutique cheeses and meats and a nice, curated user experience. Inside the market, Gibbs has a solid lineup of the basics and is usually well staffed to turn an order quickly. Silverglades has a much larger inventory; they also have terrific deli items including house-made roast beef and delectable chicken salads. Fast service is not among their virtues, however. It's seldom an issue on weekdays, but will invariably lengthen your trip to the market during peak hours on the weekends. And as many other reviews note, the user experience may not always be front of mind. Though, like a number of legacy vendors here, they remember repeat customers and handle them with care. read more

I stopped by here with two other friends for lunch while on a day trip to Cincinnati. We decided to check out Findlay Market and after browsing around, figured the sandwiches here would hit the spot. The interior was clean and their cases were packed full of cheeses and meats. Apart from that there were other Italian things to buy, ranging from oils to jams to snacks. Despite us being the only ones in the shop, it took a while to get our sandwiches. The time seemed to go that much slower because we were all hungry. But I have to tell you, the wait was worth it. I got the Gracie Green - baked ham, baby swiss cheese and lettuce served with brusshetta topping on a toasted long roll with a pickle on the side. It was only $6.25 and it was so so good! Everything in the sandwich went together really well and the vinegar-y taste balanced the rest of the sandwich beautifully. I highly highly recommend this one! My friends got the Little Italy and Cincy Gobbler, also with a pickle on the side and both loved their sandwiches. There was some seating outside but considering it was cold and drizzling we took the sandwiches and popped into the main building (I think?) that had a seating area. Completely delicious and utterly satisfied - definitely come here for lunch! Can't beat the taste or the price! read more

Was a fan of their smoked chicken salad. But they have changed it up from having nice visible chunks of chicken to highly shredded, fluffed with lots of "non chicken" mayo etc. that it is no longer a stand out from ordinary commercially made chicken salad. Side note: It was not an easy visit anyway with the grumpy guy behind the counter. Never felt welcomed. read more

Great selection, but they're not that nice. Come here a lot. Spent a lot of money there as well. Never disappointed with what I came home with. It's the attitude. Have never failed to feel like I was wasting their time when dropping a bill on their stuff. They seem pissed off at me whenever I go there, even though I order efficiently, politely, and speak clearly. Maybe it's that I'm not a white Ohioan like all their other clientele? Today the old man tried to sell me a huge block of cheese when I said "I'd like a quarter pound, please." Sorry, but it's rather lame if you aren't willing to actually give people what they asked for. When they pay. A lot. Each time. And you never once behave in a friendly manner. Oh I get it: maybe they don't want your business. That's what it must be. Oh and I forgot: great job not actually wearing your mask, old man. I have nothing against any adult working till whatever age they like, but I'm sorry: I've seen men your age move way more quickly. read more

The reviews here are spot-on: horrific service, ok selection. Staff are grumpy and often take 15+ minutes to slice and weigh a single item. If you're trying to do some charcuterie, forget it. If you're at Findlay Market, check out Gibb's for the basics or The Rhined for the fancy stuff instead. There is nothing here you can't get elsewhere and they don't act like they want your business, so why give it to them? read more

Hours here say 6:00 closing, door says 5:000 closing. We arrived at 4:42 after driving 60 miles and doors were locked. Looked inside and two customers being waited on and owner and employee see us attempt to get in through both entrances and say nothing. We have spent hundreds of dollars in this store on specialty cheeses in the past. It would have been nice if they opened the door and at least spoke to us. Their customer service has always been questionable but today only because we have to give a star for this review do they get one star. read more

Generally, I'm pretty pleased with my experience at Silverglades. I ordered an Italian sandwich that was definitely a solid meal. There was a hefty amount of meat and toppings, and they were great in quality and in taste. We also got a side of the mustard potato salad, and it was VERY good! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the service was a little slow, and the workers weren't that friendly to customers. I realize this is a traditional deli where they don't have to be over-the-top with the service and friendliness, but they also should realize that their deli is in Cincinnati and not NYC. read more

Silverglades - Sandwiches Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great little cheese and meat shop located just outside the Findlay Market place. Great stop to buy wonderful cheese and meats. They take time and give each person a personal touch as opposed to the big chain guys. Keep monies local and support this nearly century old family owed business. read more

Wait just a minute. You'll be glad you did. Silverglades has an awesome selection of deli meats, cheese, pickles, olives, and salads. You can get salami anywhere but the selection and quality of salami at Silverglades is unbeatable. They roast their turkey and you won't be disappointed with any of their meat products. Prosciutto, Serrano, they've got it. Liver pate with truffles is awesome. They also have a great selection of cheese. Sandwiches are an art form here and every one of them is delicious. During the week they are not as busy but on a Saturday you will probably have to wait. If you take a number and the next customer is five numbers ahead of you, it will be a 15 minute wait. So just wait a minute. I've always been glad I did. read more

I haven't been to Silverglades in years even though I know it is a lunch spot favorite downtown. I craved a hearty salad with "good" meat that wouldn't cost me $15 (it's crazy how expensive salads are becoming!), and 2 of my co-workers suggested that we make the trip to Silverglades. The place GETS CROWDED, so depending on what time you come, I think there is a 50/50 chance you will need to get your food to go. We had just ordered our food to-go when we lucked out and got a table. The soups, salads, prepared entrees and desserts looked delicious, but I was being virtuous and ordered a made-to-order salad. My salad was DELICIOUS, I made the mistake of requesting iceberg lettuce (not my favorite leafy green), but my salad was still good! I had chicken/bacon/artichoke type deal, and I was thrilled that the friendly lady behind the counter chopped it up so I got to taste all of the ingredients in each forkful. I also liked that she chopped/tossed salads in clean bowls each time, which is very nice for germ freaks (or people with allergies). My salad was $7.99, which was a great value for the big, hearty salad. There is also a tiny quick-mart component to the store, where you can get bottled beverages and minor groceries. I absolutely want to return to Silverglades, and I won't wait several years to do so. read more

I bought some Boar's Head sliced Cajun turkey breast this past weekend. I just got around to eating some of it for lunch today and was very impressed. The meat is thinly sliced the way I like it, but somehow most of the rub manages to stay stuck on the outside of each slice. Impressive and delicious! The selection in the store was vast and though it was a bit slow, worth the wait. read more

This deli is great! The staff were all wonderful and very helpful when we were trying to decide between items to buy, and they have a huge selection of meats, cheeses, pickles, mustards, and other things in here. Both of their chicken salads are some of the best chicken salad I've ever had, so I'd definitely recommend those. read more

Silverglade's is the best deli in Cincinnati. The selection of cheese, fine meats and pickled items is overwhelming. It would literally take hours to really look at all the items they stock. On top of the premier items they off everything else you need for a truly excellent sandwich. They have awesome bread from Shadeau, mustards, mayos, an awesome case of salads and great beverages to wash it all down with. This is the perfect one stop shop for all of your deli needs! It doesn't end there though! They have an excellent menu of freshly sliced and assembled sandwiches that will blow the chains right out of the water! Silverglade's is awesome! If you love sliced meat, cheese or pickles do yourself a favor and get here! read more

Silverglades - Made with superior ingredients found at Silverglade's! - Sandwiches Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It's a large deli and small grocery in one. I just got a regular roast turkey sandwich ($6.50ish I think). It wasn't special and I wasn't expecting it to be for the price. It was fresh and good, which is what I was expecting. It comes with a pickle. You take a number when you enter. The service was a little slow IMO. It's a little tight IMO but people wait it out so it can't be all bad. My experience was limited and brief but it's an average deli. read more

Decent selection of cheeses and meats but horrifically overpriced. A pound of Port Salut goes for $15+. The same item is sold at Trader Joe's for $10 and $12 at Jungle Jim's. Not worth going to in my opinion; you're better off going to Jungle Jim's for the same quality. read more

Silverglades is such a Cincinnati stable. They've been around for so long and have so many amazing options. They're well known, but there are still a lot of people who don't know about them. Before I moved to the city, I didn't know about their history but I'm so glad I do now. They are more than just a deli. When you go in you'll see full meal options that you can eat there or take home. They're also a grab and go type of place with chips, hummus, cheese, meat, wine, beer, etc. I love that they have two different locations in the city. They are both pretty busy but thankfully if one is out of something you can usually pretty easily get it from the other. They're well known for their traditional chicken salad, but one of my favorite options is the buffalo chicken salad. I've had many different forms of chicken salad but their buffalo version is so unique. I also love that they carry items that a lot of stores don't, like halloumi cheese. The staff is also great they take their time with you and don't rush you no matter how busy they are. This is one that you absolutely have to visit and browse around! read more

This Silverglades location is mainly a deli- there's not a ton of space to eat inside, but there's a lot of good food in there! It's a good stop to get your deli meat, cheeses, some bulk items, and other prepared foods. My favorite part is that they have some Shadeau breads. Our recent visit was on a busy Sunday afternoon, and I have to say, the staff seemed rather frazzled and it took a long time to get a few things. I saw one staff member start to have a little attitude to the lady next to me who was ordering. While to be fair, the order was a little complicated, I think some graciousness towards customers goes a long way. It didn't really seem to amount to the level of frustration exhibited. Just a small thing but it stuck out to me. Could have just been a bad day. read more

GRAPE & WALNUT CHICKEN SALAD. I don't care about anything else. The other day I was asked "If you were stranded on an island, what one food would you take?" This was it. In the ideal situation, I eat it on fancy crackers with cubes of smoked cheddar and a glass of wine. If you've ever been to Heaven, this is twice as nice. read more

I like Silverglades' food....but I've started skipping it for other vendors. Two reasons: Look, I work. I usually go to Findlay on Saturdays...with my family. I understand I'll have to wait since this is their busy day, but I don't want to wait 30 minutes or more in a cramped space for my cheese. Call me a fast paced American - but there it is. They need to better staff the place at least on that day. The second reason is convenience and the overall lack of warmth the place projects. I've never been greeted with a smile. Last time I went there I came up a few bucks short of cash. I saw the credit card swiper right there and handed the lady my debit card. "No cards." she growled at me. "You should be able to pay with cash." Should? I thought. If I choose to charge $20 worth of Walnut infused brie or whatever that's my business, but I let the judgment pass. I motioned to the credit card swiper. "That's for WIC cards," she snapped. I had no idea what WIC cards were but my wife said "welfare". "So you're too snooty for my debit card but you'll take my money through other people's WIC cards?" That lead to some tut-tuting from customer holding their Whole Foods bags and NPR $50 member totes. Whatever...I took an item off the list and paid with cash. I'm a big supporter of mom-and-pop local businesses. But all too often mom-and-pop are a bit rude and set in their ways. read more

Ok, so the meats, cheeses and salads are pretty good. They have a good selection of sliced meats, particularly exotic cuts of salami. Unfortunately, it seems like the staff is never very friendly. The whole "What else?!?" attitude/response when you're picking out items gets old quickly. I won't even go in here when it's busy. Today I visited at 4:30 and was one of three customers. Regardless, the guy helping me out acted like I was bothering him by asking questions and pausing between selections. It's just unnecessary. Also of note, this location does not accept giftcards that were issued at their other location. read more

The older man behind the counter was unbelievably sexist. He asked my female roommate if I had permission to add my chargers to "his" account, which is bad enough on its own, and then kept calling me sweat heart and darling in a very condescending manner. And then he got my order wrong. I was excited to find an old school deli, I just wasn't expecting the attitude of the attendant to match the founding age of the deli. On top of that, the olives I bought were mostly flavorless and a little soft. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Important items first: 1) It's Cash only. Don't you dare come in here until AFTER you've been to the ATM. I've done this twice, after waiting in line, and you'd think I'd know better by now. 2) The line: I think there are numbers to take, which is on the side across from Pho Lang Thang--not the side across from the Market House. This is obviously for the Findlay Market location...they have another location on Sycamore but this review is for Findlay Market. When it's crowded, this is complicated--so know what you want and get in there and do it. Refer to #1--TAKE CASH. Ok. now for the chatty part. I don't know why I don't go to Silverglade's more...I think it's because I don't have wine and cheese parties nearly enough. When I do, though--this is one of the places I like to come. When I was making some fancy appetizers, I came here for proscuitto...then I realized that they had everything else on my list! Figs, almonds, all sorts of cheeses...it was a slam dunk! Love Silverglades. But seriously, bring cash. read more

This is only a review based on customer service, because I was unable to purchase any cheese here. After waiting an extended amount of time to be called upon I asked if there were any cheeses that were similar to Parmesan that were vegetarian. The first person I spoke to did not know, she asked someone who appeared to be in charge, and with loud disdain he said, "We have no vegetarian Parmesan." When I followed up to see if he had any suggestions of other cheeses that were similar to Parmesan, that might be vegetarian, he responded grumpily, "We have no vegetarian cheeses." I know the request might be a little bit out of the ordinary, but especially in a market that has so many vegetarian options it seems a little odd to be treated so aggressively for a pretty reasonable request. I know I will not be bringing any business to the store in the future, and suggest to anyone who is vegetarian to save their time and skip it. read more

This place always. has. a line! Always! But I guess really, that's not such a bad thing as that must mean its really good right? Right. I recommend coming in the door off the side, across from the restrooms and Pho Lang, as the numbers are right there straight ahead on the counter. Seriously, take a number. Even if there's 3 people there. Just do it. Or you'll get skipped. They have sandwiches made up on a board hanging above the counter, but if none of these appeal to you, you can just make you're own. Yup, its totally cool to create one. Off to the side, closest to the market is where the good stuff lies. Their quiches are amazing!! perfect for brunch. Their chicken salad though... omg I have no words and am salivating on the keyboard. I have never has such amazing chicken salad in my life. I to make myself put it away on several occasions to keep from gorging myself. nommmm... Ok anyways, don't plan on eating inside, it's just too small, unless you like people crowding your space whilst trying to eat. They have cheeses, butter, meat cut to order, sides, breakfast, foreign drinks, coke in glass bottles! It's all amazing! Oh and the sandwiches even come with a pickle! I love pickles! read more

Their chicken salad is the BOMB MOTHERFUCK ITS SO GOOD ! ! ! ! Ok im calm now... I first tried their chicken salad at Findlay Market and loved it. So I found out they have a store downtown so ive been eating the fuck out of it so much. They also have your typical deli shit that every other deli has. Their house stuff is all amazing though and you can eat in during lunch if you want too. read more

The staff is not always the friendliest and you do need to know what you want before your number comes up. But I LOVE the Grape-Walnut Chicken Salad. It is the best. And there is no celery in it. I hate celery. Ruins most chicken salads for me. I could go on about the cheese and olive selection but other reviewers have covered that. Try the chicken salad! read more

Silverglade's is nestled on a busy corner of Findlay Market and offers a selection of deli meats, cheeses, sandwiches, and cold side dishes (think pasta salad). When you have beautiful spring weather and you're craving a refreshing sandwich, you could give this place a try. All that said, Silverglade's gets three stars because of its incredibly slow service, weird ambiance, and mediocre sandwiches. This place is always filled with customers not because it's overly popular, but instead because it takes 10 mins for them to make a single sandwich. While Findlay Market is generally very lively, Silverglades has a weird quiet, serious, stifled atmosphere. No one was smiling anywhere. Probably because we were all dying of hunger and their service is slow. Finally, once the food did arrive, my turkey was very dry and the tomato was soft and dull. Silverglades, I like that you're serving deli meats and sandwiches, but pick up the pace a bit! read more

Great place to grab a bite. The chicken salad is simply amazing try the Buffalo style too it's great! Sliverglades also has some amazing cheeses in stock. Just a great experience everytime. read more

As most people have said, it gets absolutely crazy on weekends. If you can, I'd recommend going at off-peak hours for better (and quicker) service. The selection is great, and prices are fair. Boar's Head and the like run around $8/pound anywhere you get them, so why not support a local family-owned business? Just remember to bring cash! Alternatively, on weekends you can use a credit card at the visitor's center to buy a Findlay Market gift certificate which can be used at Silverglade's or other vendors. There is also an ATM in the market, but it is out of service a lot. read more

Silverglades is an incredibly busy storefront at Findlay Market. They have all the classic things you can find at nearly every other store in the market - meats, cheeses, salads (pasta, egg, etc.), and other sundries, but my favorite thing on offer there that is unique (as far as I've seen) is their extensive fresh olive and pickle bar. The spicy pickle is really fantastic. It was even good on a hot day, pickle juice dripping down my fingers and slightly burning my throat. Okay that's a gross picture, but the pickle it was incredible. The olives are stuffed with all kinds of things: cheese, pimento, other olives...just kidding. Over 30 kinds, I'm sure you could find a kind you had not even thought of yet. Silverglades is a great place to end up at Findlay Market. read more

Silverglades gets very busy on the weekends. Usually my husband will grab a number and wait while I run other errands. On especially busy weekends, I get back before it's his turn to order. So I guess the fact that Silverglades is so popular that it takes forever to order keeps it from five stars. Anytime we throw a dinner party, we load up on their meats, cheese and olives for an amazing anti pasta tray. The mozzarella balls are perfect for bruschetta. They have great pancetta and prosciutto. Their bread comes from Shadeau Bakery and the sesame ciabotta bread is amazing. I usually end up taking a couple of bites off of the loaf on the way home. Buy some of their chicken salad with grapes and walnuts and you have a perfect lunch. Also, try the croissants and pretzel rolls and rye rolls. I just ate but know I'm getting hungry again. I've never paid too much attention to prices because I am there for the quality. I bought pancetta from Kroger once and I learned my lesson. read more

I've been going there since I was a young girl. Quality remains the same and they have a commitment to providing the best! Their ham is worth a trip to the market along with their smoked chicken salad. Cheese selections is incredible as well! read more

I've been working at Silverglade's at Findlay Market for about a month now. Just wanted to respond to a few of the reviews posted. I love working here!! I can say the staff works very hard to make shopping at Silverglade's a good experience. The employees and customers have all been very kind and friendly. We do take all major credit cards now, except for American Express. It does get crowded, especially on Saturdays. It seems to be slower early in the morning and when rainy. So those would be good times to come. Please take a number when entering the deli and you will be helped as soon as possible. You may have to wait a bit if the place is packed, however the food is definitely worth the wait. Everything I have tasted at Silverglade's is delicious. The Signature Walnut Grape Chicken Salad, the Roast Beef (which is roasted in-house), and the Irish Dubliner cheese, have become three of my favorites. I work on the weekends. Stop in and say hello! read more

If you're looking for deli meat and cheese Silver Glades is your place! There has never been a cheese that I needed that I couldn't find there. And their sandwiches are to die for. Their chicken salad sandwich is my favorite, but I always have a hard time deciding whether I want smoked or grape-walnut chicken salad on the sandwich. Fortunately I quickly learned there was no reason for strife: Silver Glades will make the sandwich with both (half on one side half on the other)! My other Silver Glades staple is the smoked blue cheese (called Moody Blue). It's unlike any other cheese I've ever had and is absolutely delicious! Just remember to take a number when you enter the door and be ready to wait on the weekend. Also they don't accept credit card to be sure to stop by the ATM beforehand! read more

Food and meat is great, service is terribly slow and arrogant. Too many shops in the market want your business to deal with attitude

As a first timer to Findlay Market, we had a tough time figuring out what we wanted for a quick lunch. We stumbled upon Silverglade's and decided to give it a whirl. It was semi-crowded but they called our number quickly. After that, it all went downhill. The service was the worst. Not friendly at all! We ordered three deli sandwich's and it honestly took the man at least 15 minutes to make. It was absolutely ridiculous. When my friend asked if they had honey mustard dressing, he didn't even know if they carried it. Sandwiches were less than average and we will not be coming back again anytime soon. Prices were decent and you can custom order any sandwich you want, but it was not worth the time or hassle. read more

Horribly rude people work here. Bad attitudes all around. Also, I had to practically beg for attention/help at the counter and there weren't any other customers around. read more

Really good deli, great selection of meats, cheeses, in house made pickles, coleslaw, and of course the chicken salad. We tried savory, which was amazing, and the walnut and grape which was equally delightful. The sandwiches were gigantic we only ate half of each of our respective sandwiches.. I honestly would prefer it on crackers.. But that's just my preferences. I do admit it's a tad expensive but the quality is worth it. I'm excited to go back. read more
