History

Slyman’s Restaurant Corporate Office

Slyman’s Restaurant was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1965 by current co-owners Fred Slyman and Pat D’Onofrio. The company operates a casual, American style restaurant.

The company licensed out the name “Slyman’s” to a small group of restaurants in Northeast Ohio, but there are no franchises at this time. The restaurant is a well-known marker and is so popular that customers are often left waiting outside since the restaurant seats only 60 persons. Slyman and D’Onofrio opened a second location ,which is slightly different from the original, in 2015, called Slyman’s Tavern, which seats 150, as well as offering a to-go menu.

Slyman’s Restaurant offers typical American fare, including chicken, salads, sandwiches, but no alcoholic drinks. Slyman’s Tavern, however, will feature the same basic food items as the restaurant, including a few new options, as well as alcoholic beverages.

History

Piccadilly Public House Corporate Office

Piccadilly Public House goes back to 1900, when the building was originally used as a grocery store warehouse for local grocery stores. The building retains its original brick walls and wood floors, although the remainder of the building has been restored.

The company originally started off as a pub, but decided that the former “public house”, as it was called, should return to its roots by feeding the public. The building now has two sections, a full service restaurant, as well as a pub. An outdoor patio features a big screen television, which offers sports games on weekends, as well as providing space for smokers.

Piccadilly Public House sits in a historic area of Winchester, Virginia, including the outdoor Loudoun mall, the B&O Railroad station, and the Timbrook Public Safety Building.
