“my foodgasm sandwich is "The Papa" a supreme combo of Prosciutto, chopped pistachios, a hefty load of Oregano leaves, perfectly tied together with a sweet vinaigrette on a baguette roll. friendly owner & staff, amazing food, and quaint cozy atmosphere that transports you overseas to a traditional Italian deli Storefront. What's not to love?”

“Excellent lunch and friendly service from the owner himself!”

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!”

“As you walk in the smell is so warm and inviting. This genuinely has to be some of the best food ive ever eaten, no joke its so flavorful and the portions are great. The gentleman is very sweet and helpful as soon as you step inside. Definitely worth visiting and getting again!!! (I got traditional noodles with mixed veggies, shrimp, and sesame garlic sauce)”

“The most authentic Trinidadian food you can get in Northeast Ohio! Super nice people! Incredible food! 100% would recommend to everyone!”

“Very laid back atmosphere. Beautifully decorated and I love the vibe. I wish they offered a larger wine list, but I definitely won’t let that stop me from returning.”

“first Monday 4 meals for $44 experience 10/20/25. Brussel sprouts looked great however undercooked… very difficult to chew.. Otherwise I liked it.”

“Always a great time! Great atmosphere!”

“Kinneret Pizza is a classic, no-frills spot that feels like it’s been around forever—probably 70 years. The crust is solid, the sauce has an interesting twist, but not the best, and the cheese is plentiful. Great by the slice.

The fries? Amazing. Big, fat, crispy—exactly how they should be.

Service is quick and a person behind counter is little curt, but it fits the old-school vibe. Prices are on the high side.

Went at 5 PM, and it was quiet and pleasant.”

“Valet parking and the perfect spot to hang after the game! Kitchen was open late. Burger was amazing and the chicken was delicious as was my mojito. Shout out to all the guys. Thanks for everything! ❤️💛 Can’t wait to go back.”

“Good Customer service and very affordable food!”

“Quite honestly the best chicken salad on croissant I’ve ever had. I also had a chocolate croissant, which I warmed this morning for brekkie. I think I may go back today to get another sandwich.”

“The cinnamon raisin loaf I've been dreaming about my entire life. Fresh baked, it's beyond comprehension. The French loaf is equally delicious. A culinary treasure in our backyard.”

“Thank you for supporting the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and CHANGING MY LIFE with your sweet potato cheesecake!”

“Great service and chicken”

“Excellent food!”

“Cute cafe in a quaint Cleveland neighborhood. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious.”

“I usually love this place but tonight's curbside order was an hour and a half wait (usually curbside pickup is a half hour)! They now also have signed up with other delivery services so they are super busy. Our food wasn't ready when it was promised. I went in and there were about 3-4 empty tables! You'd think that with the long wait the tables would be backed up too. I mentioned to the manage that if I had known there were tables available I would have dined in instead of take out. She said they try to get their dine-in customers their food before the take out. 🤦 Really Dewey's, what customer wants to know that their service is not as important as another customer? If I had known that I wouldn't have waited an hour and a half (plus) at home, and would have gone in, placed my order then changed my mind and taken it to go!”

“My 1st time at Bookers, very nice atmosphere n a great vibe, I loved the Vibe Band!! I ordered 2 perch sandwiches which were great as well!! I truly enjoyed myself, choosing Bookers has restored my faith in goin out. It’s very close to home as well! Being in guest service for over 30 years I was super impressed with the servers greeting guests as they walked in the door 5. ⭐️’s from me and great job!! I’ll certainly be back!!😃😃”

“It’s everything you want in a neighborhood bar- super staff, friendly people, chill vibe, cool spaces.”

“I had me a Carmel Ribbon Frappe. Really good. I can't make it home with the cookies I eat all of them.”

“I’ve been going to voodoo for over a year. The owners and staff always do an excellent job of being friendly yet professional. Great variety of food in a casual rustic/industrial layout. It’s always clean as well as orderly!”

“This place is a gem. Had a long drive and stressful morning.. this place saved the day! Atmosphere is so pleasant, will ease you out, the baristas are warm and welcoming and they even made me laugh! The coffee here is delicious. My wife and I had a pour over and a cortado: both were excellent. It’s so good to find a place where the coffee is not just bitter water, but a true work of art and labor of love. Vegan scones were very tasty and honestly better than any other scone I’ve had in Cleveland. Don’t miss out on this place, it’s worth the stop.”

“My fiancé and I want to thank the entire staff at Vero for an AMAZING experience! The pizza is by far some of the best pizza I have ever had in 40+ years! I will gladly come back from NJ to eat here again! My compliments to the Chef and the staff. We now have a home away from home. As we Italians say GRAZIE TANTE! 🇮🇹🙏”

“Pacific East is our very favorite sushi restaurant overall. The quality of the fish is incredible and the food is so authentic. We are so excited that they are reopening soon, we will be in the get some delicious sushi as soon as we can!”

“Today was my first time here and I came with friends and my 5 year old son. We had the pleasure of being waited on by Sebastian! He was extremely patient with my son and went the extra mile with his food recommendations and making it kid-friendly. He also noticed which sauces I seemed to like the most and brought one that did not originally come with my meal. The food and atmosphere as wonderful in itself, but Sebastian made our first time here one to be remembered! Thank you to him!!”

“I used to live in Cleveland hts and started going to Grums when they first opened. I now sometimes drive all the way from Westlake just for a Grum’s sub. In my opinion the Grums Turkey Ridge sub on French bread is the best sub ever, anywhere!!!”

“Wow. This place was recommended to us as my husband and I were looking for the perfect cheeseburger for our wedding anniversary. The staff in the kitchen … you guys are so amazing, warm and gracious. We will be back. The Tinman! That was one extraordinary burger. And the fries, chicken tenders are out of this world with all those sauces. Can’t thank you enough. Also, the interior vibe and feel of the place is wonderful. A MUST if you’re in Cleveland or visiting. ❤️”

“Wonderful atmosphere, best coffee!”

“Had a delicious dinner here tonight when I searched for a Korean BBQ place in Columbus. I didn’t know it was here and so glad I went! Priced at the same price point as another top Korean BBQ restaurant in town. I love finding new “non chain” restaurants and this was a gem find. Sophia talked with my partner about spice levels for the broth for his soup and he was so happy with her recommendation. Will definitely be back!”

“Absolutely beautiful and delicious cakes! Shae made a beautiful cake for my son’s first communion. She is very professional and prompt. She delivered the cake on time and made sure to give us instructions and a box to transport once the event was over. The cake was a great hit and made our special day complete. This was my first time ordering and tasting her cakes and I’m so happy I chose her to make our cake. I will definitely be ordering more cakes from her.”

“The service from Chenara the bar tender was great. Only one cook, so the kitchen was pretty slow for a taco Tuesday. Tacos were the mini tortillas and the ground beef was either cooked earlier then re- cooked or just burnt. Fish on the tacos were good but shrimp and fish tacos need some sort of sauce other than sour cream and salsa. If not for her bubbly service and always smiling the rating would be lower.”

“Best Guinness in Cleveland, great atmosphere, love patprnells.”

“We stoped in before our reservation and meet some really nice people. I remember mayor is on and he is a really awesome dude. Unfortunately I forgot the bar tenders name but he was a nice ? my husband and I love the environment”

“There aren't too many Turkish restaurants around, but this place tops them all. If you're looking for an exclusive experience apart from Indian, Chinese, or Latin cuisine, etc., I definitely recommend it.”

“Great local food! And a family friendly atmosphere!”

“The food is outstanding! So much flavor! Highly recommend!

It's not the most modern or updated looking restaurant, but you don't need grey walls and granite to make incredible food.”

“Stopped into Unger's for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It looks like they’re doing some renovations, so parts of it have that old-school charm while other areas are getting a bit of a refresh. Other spots look like they need scrubbing. The donuts were excellent—fresh, flavorful. Self-serve. You can tell this place has been around a while. Some unique candy options I have not seen before. A payphone too!? No longer in service, I checked.”

“Holy Moly! Third time here and this place is always on point. Everything is so delicious! Sandwiches too! Full and so happy! Great Thai bubble tea was the best I’ve had. 10/10!”

“Transcendent meal. Chef Liu Fang has taken the authentic flavors and ideas of China and brought them to life in a new way. After living in China for nearly a decade, I generally don’t expect US Chinese cuisine to capture real Chinese flavors. Abundance Culinary was just incredible. The Honey Ma wings are tough to top, and I’ve never had Chinese peppercorns to fresh and fragrant. That numbing sensation is pure happiness. Gong Bao Brussel Sprouts are crack. The Ginseng Chicken is hearty and warming. Wagyu Xiao Chao Beef and Lazi Chicken are both crowd favorites for good reason. Turns out my 11yo daughter likes Lamb Shank. Who knew? The space is so warm and inviting, there can’t be too many 1940s train car diners living as top shelf Chinese Restaurants. Abundance Culinary is truly in a class of its own.”

“I've been getting takeout from Tree Country for 15 years now. In that time, the restaurant has had its ups and downs with world events and the dine-in character especially has changed. Unfortunately they also lost their delicious sushi options. What hasn't changed in all that time is the consistently good food and the consistently kind and attentive staff.

Particular recommendations: salmon choo chee curry special, basil fried rice, and massaman curry”

“Professional staff They make everyone feel important.”

“After a long work week of plowing and salting, I needed some real home-cooked food. I called ahead and placed an order, let them know I was about 25 minutes out, and when I arrived my food was ready in about 5 minutes—they made it work.

I sent my grandma to pick it up for the family, and she said the place was very clean, the staff was friendly, and they even offered her a drink while she waited. She’s a senior, so that kind of hospitality means a lot to me. Customer service like that is rare these days, and the way they treated my grandma speaks volumes. Truly a godsend.

We ordered 3 soul bowls, a side of red beans and rice, corn muffins, and a piece of orange roughy. The yams were delicate but still held together. The mac and cheese was creamy with a nice cheese pull. The dirty rice had a slight spice that was balanced perfectly by the sweet cornbread or yams in the bowl. The chicken fritters weren’t overly seasoned and complemented the bowl really well. The orange roughy was lightly breaded with great flavor.

The only thing I’d personally pass on is the fries—but with all those sides, fries were the last thing I needed anyway.

If you’re looking for a filling, comforting two-step meal, the $15 soul bowl is absolutely the move. Big thanks to the cooks and the staff. I’ve seen comments about consistency, and I get it—that’s exactly why people keep coming back.

I’ll definitely be back and plan on ordering a couple half pans of sides for my holiday dinner to support a local business. Just know when Jovani R places an order, it’s all love, family.
(And keep a dessert around for a brother 😄)”

“Totally agreed with Candise Bivens‘s comment from below. The ladies at Payne avenue are rude and not friendly at all. I like the service at Cleveland heights location wayyyy better.”

“I exited at closing time to find my car which was parked on the street had been involved in an accident. Minor damage. I’ll be parking in the parking garage from now on.”

“Plenty of food. Pleasant atmosphere and personal. Price not consistent every time (tho not enough to stop me from getting it (:)). I.e the price of the lo mein noodles increased from $6 to $7 in one week.”

“Great food, great people and great atmosphere. My children and I love Lefty’s! Check them out at your nearest location, you won’t be disappointed.”

“Nice food come enjoy specially Roman burger so delicious and yummy”

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.”

“Monica's flowers are always fresh and beautiful🌹”

“A+++++ Excellent service, excellent food! Everything was hot, fresh and it's such a nice change of pace to eat something different. We will be back and enjoyed our food, thank you!”

“While visiting Cleveland we really wanted good seafood and this place was exactly what we were looking for! Loved the atmosphere and the crab was cooked perfectly. I opted for the mix seasoning boil and loved every minute of it. The service was also top of the line and I really just can’t wait to come back when we’re in town! 😀”

“WTG Bobcat 💚🤍🍺🐾 grab a drink, get a bite to eat, bring your pup Boss Dog Brewing is a great example of excellent beer, food and service! Dogs welcome to enjoy the fun - including menu options!”

“Best burger I’ve had in a while. Loved the friendly staff and the artwork.”

“Loved the set up and decor. The cool games/ activities. The workers had amazing energy. I will be coming again! Visited from Michigan.”
