“Found this place when I searched for best places to eat in Cleveland while we were on vacation and this one had good reviews and realistic prices so we decided to try it out and we are so glad we did! It was a warm and inviting atmosphere for being mostly a bar with extra seating. You felt like you were at home and all the staff treated you like you were family or a good friend and they looked happy to be there even though it got a bit busy when we had gotten there. Service was excellent, food was delicious, my husband got the ribs and he was in love. I tried the bbq sauce as I'm really picky about bbq sauces and it was delicious! The skull shaped cornbread was so good. I had a turkey club sandwich with the chips and the French onion dip is a must have. Great experience, we will definitely be back next time we are up in Cleveland!“

“Great open kitchen, super well run front to back. Warm, inviting, hip menu that challenges you a bit. Super well executed, ingredient focused, balanced flavors. I was impressed“

“This is a beautiful restaurant, and I will definitely be back, so I’m still giving it 5 stars. However, I started upstairs at the bar, and the bartender working around 8 PM (her name started with an “R”) was unfortunately very rude. Her demeanor was off-putting from the start, and she didn’t even bother to wipe down the bar area for us.

My friend and I stood there for about three minutes waiting to be acknowledged while there was only one other person at the bar. I was honestly so shocked by the lack of customer service that I was ready to leave. My friend ended up moving the dirty cups and wiping down our area so we could sit down and wait for a drink. To make matters worse, we weren’t even given clean menus.

Thankfully, after our first round of drinks, we went outside to enjoy the fire pit area, and that completely changed the experience. Manager Mary was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thank you, Mary!

I didn’t make a formal complaint because it wasn’t that serious, but I did want to mention it. Aside from that one bartender, every single staff member we encountered from the valet team to the greeters downstairs was friendly, welcoming, and amazing.

Overall, the restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and because of the excellent service from the rest of the staff, I will definitely be back. :)“

“Great service, fun employees!!“

“We have been coming to Hot Grillz Diner since we saw it on New Day Cleveland (way before the pandemic). Karen and crew are awesome and the food is fabulous.

“Jessica was the best and we will come back for her“

“Working with someone like Mrs. Anita Ephraim FX is a good experience and has yielded positive results for me every week. I invested my first $500 into bitcoin and Mrs.Anita FX helped me manage my account and i made $5500 in the first week. It has been an incredible experience from that day on! This wasn't my first time trading but honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first. Mrs. Anita Ephraim walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a … See more“

“What a hidden gem. My husband and I stumbled upon Nordstrom Grill a few weeks ago and it was like we were transported back in time. The wait staff couldn't be more helpful. The soups are amazing and will warm you up on a cold winter day . . . and the burger might also be the best in Cleveland. I only wish it were open for breakfast!“

“Thankfully they were open late because we needed somewhere moderately priced with decent food to take my brother out for a birthday dinner. The food was a B-, service could have definitely been better and the atmosphere was average. Drinks could improve and steaks ordered were reasonable. Would go back but more so thankful for the late hours!“

“We went for dinner on a Saturday night. I made the reservation for 5:30pm, but we were ready to eat at 5 when they opened. I asked if they could seat us and they did graciously. Our server, Madison, was very good. attentive but not hovering. She checked on us often. My dining companion had a specialty Christmas eggnog and I had the tequila flights. The eggnog was a little different in that it had kahlua as well as rum. It was delicious. The flights were varied and interesting. My friend had the salmon which she just kept raving about, saying she would get it every time we came. It had a spinach base with risotto and a bourbon sauce. I had the short ribs which fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. They came with candied carrots, brussel sprouts and grits. Perfect. We were so full, we skipped dessert. We love Millcreek. I think it is one of the best restaurants in any casino, except Vegas.“

“So many great choices here. Don’t miss this one in a million Brewery. For all the beer snobs in your life.“

“Great food and great service. I love that the staff doesn’t have a high turnover and are always pleasant.“

“Having moved from Florida's Gulf Coast last year, I had yet to find any food in Ohio I liked as well as Sarasota. Last night at Heck's, my hope was restored! The caliber of textures and tastes was fantastic! Delicious and clearly well thought out menu options for anyone's palate. I had the Moroccan kabobs and truffle pierogis (which are NOT your average pierogi!) and our table split several other appetizers. Great ambiance too. You'll love it.“
