Restaurants in Cleveland Heights

“10/10 Would Recommend! Friendly Staff & Good Plant Based Asian Fusion Food!”

“I've been to restaurants all over the nation and this is one of my absolute favorites! They have tons of GF options. All their food and drinks are phenominal and the staff is amazing to boot.”

“Great environment. Good food. Amazing service”

“First visit this evening with a small group of friends, had 14 different menu items, drinks, apps, pizzas and desserts The staff was attentive and swift, a nice back room to sit and relax with friends. Everything we tried was wonderful, the staff was flexible bring the hot honey for the pizza on the side. All five of us left comfortably stuffed . Will absolutely be returning. 10 out of 10 pictures of drinks and dessert, eat the pizza to quickly”

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

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!”

“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?”

“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.”

“Great restaurant, always gets the order right, always friendly, great prices, and really tasty food, I almost don’t want to leave a review I feel like it’s an amazing little secret in the area but I really want to support them and they deserve thousands of 5 star reviews!”

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

“I came here a lot between 2022 and 2025 when I lived in Cleveland. The beer has always been top notch even for Cleveland but I have to say the food has gotten much better since Eugene's first opened its kitchen inside. I used to think differntly about them but in 2026 these may be the best fries in the city. The vegan dumplings were very high quality and you can't tell that a lot of skill and intent went into the non-meag dishes. I would definitely recommend stopping”

“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.”

“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!”

“Good Customer service and very affordable food!”

“We visited today and had a fabulous experience. The staff was helpful and friendly. The cafe itself was well appointed (actual silverware, not plastic), water carafes available along with lemon slices for no extra charge, clean, bright - even the soap in the bathroom smelled wonderful! But the almond croissants were amazing. Not to sound pretentious, but we've eaten almond croissants in Paris and they didn't even come close to the greatness of what we ate at Sophie's. The latte I had and the espresso my husband had was also delicious. We were in the area, traveling across the great divide from the west side of the county, and are so glad we stopped in. It would be a challenge to the waist line if we lived closer but we will certainly add regular visits to Sophie's even if it's just for coffee and an almond croissant. Also, the painting of Sophie at the front door is wonderful. Our own Sophie-dog crossed over the rainbow bridge last year so the painting was extra special to us. Run, do not walk, to this wonderful cafe.”

“very nice spot with good coffee, good service, and a very nice atmosphere.”

“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.”

“very nice spot with good coffee, good service, and a very nice 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.”

“Great service and chicken”

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

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

“I went to Cilantro Thai Express for the first time this weekend and I have to say I was very impressed everything had great flavor and the tea I tried was quite good definitely will be back, the older lady working the counter and bagging the food was very nice even though she encountered some rude customers, and after seeing I had been waiting about 45 min she even offered to remake my tea and apologized which I appreciated and respected. If I where to offer some advice I’d suggest getting a digital board for orders so as they come and are ready people can just read and know where they are in line, that way it’s be less stressful on the older lady. Regardless I’ll be back!!”

“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!!!”

“Excellent food!”

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

“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!”

“Wonderful atmosphere, best coffee!”

“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!”

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

“My son asked for ice cream after a fun night of dancing, and this spot just happened to be open around the corner so we decided to check it out and WOW!!! Service was super friendly, prices were totally reasonable, and the banoffee waffle was so good, the waffle itself was so perfectly crispy and delicious. He brought us samples of their Chai (his mother's recipe ❤) and we were floored. Such a perfect ending to a great evening. Absolutely make a stop here!”

“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!”

“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!!😃😃”

“Very nice vibes and pleasant, fast service. Coffee tasted nice but was slightly light for my taste. They have cool coffee summer specials. Its a nice place to work as well!”

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“Atmosphere is nice not a lot of crowd have a happy hour and great the drinks are very very good the food is delicious come enjoy your time and wonderful nice beautiful bar 🍸🍸🍷❤️❤️🎯🎯”

“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”

“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.”

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

“Let me tell you this is a absolute delight of a find. We were originally planning to go to the typical hole in the wall up in Cleveland, but it totally slipped our minds that it was the Asian festival. Which btw an absolute nightmare for local Asian dinning. But the food here is fantastic, especially the pho. Tho heads up if you get a hot item, there no ac so be ready to sweat a bit. It was absolutely worth it tho.”

“This is a fun standby place that serves tasty Mediterranean food in a relaxed atmosphere. You can sit indoors or outside and enjoy kebabs, falafel, and babaganoush (sp?). It’s a good neighborhood spot.”

“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 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.”

“I ordered through Uber eats so can't speak to service or atmosphere. I got the pineapple fried rice with chicken and shrimp. They did not skimp on the chicken or the shrimp and I found it very flavorful and quite delicious. My one small complaint is that some of the pineapple still had the core so it was hard to chew.
I also got the mango sticky rice and it was absolutely delicious although I would have liked just a touch more coconut sauce. Overall I would definitely order from here again!!”

“Tasty and yummy! The pad thai and fried rice dishes are always so flavorful and the serving is great for the inexpensive price compared to other thai spots. This is a cozy small cafe restaurant”

“Professional staff They make everyone feel important.”

“The food was very good, especially the Mac and cheese. The soul bowl was great, the roughy was good, the wing dings were fine, and the fries were just mush. The staff was friendly for the most part but the kitchen was absolute chaos. It took almost an hour to get my food. If you're going to eat here make sure to bring your patience, you'll need it. I will definitely go back because the food was great and I want to try more from the menu.”

“Arthur Treacher's Fish has been in business for years, but these days they're hard to find. I come for the crispy fish, so I usually order fish only, no sides. My condiments are malt vinegar (a must!) and tartar sauce. There's no indoor seating but since I don't like to eat my fish cold I generally eat it on the parking lot in my car. Good food. Clean surroundings. Friendly staff.”

“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.”

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

“I have been to MANY Chinese restaurants in North East Ohio- Sunluck is by far the best I have had in the area- always fresh, always on time and always super tasty!!”

“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! 😀”

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

“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!”

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