“Was hearing so much about Charley's cheesesteak, the article in the Call and Post is what really pulled me in. Came and got Philly cheesesteak and Old school cheesesteak with classic lemonade, the sandwiches was delicious and the lemonade excellent. Will be returning. Welcome to the neighborhood 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“So I told y'all I went to thecrispychick_cle and I ordered the Mega Meal since it was our first time there that way me and babe can eat so I get the food and we pull off and start on our way then babe look in the food and sees that there are only four tenders well in the Mega Meal is supposed to be six tenders a french fry two sauces garlic bread and a drink so I busted you turn and went back and explain to the cashier that I ordered a mega and there were only four Tenders in there well she says I'm sorry about that let me let them know and so she says okay they're going to bring you to tenders up I said okay thank you when she comes up to the window she hands me a box and says im so sorry well I opened the box and here is five more Tenders in the Box... no arguments or nothing... no let me see your receipt it was just very pleasant they made a mistake and they corrected it right off of the drib and plus the food was good even for me with no teeth the Fry's (crinkle) has season on it so I didn't need ketchup salt and pepper the chicken was nice and hot out the grease but not greasy the honey mustard sauce was like no other honey mustard sauce that I have tasted the only regret that I have with this $12 purchase is not getting the lemonade Because by the way that chicken taste I know for sure that that lemonade was good as hell but here are the pictures and I did a video but I'm going to put the video on Tik Tok with a little editing and stuff and tag them in it so if you're ever by 55th and Woodland drop by they are really good and they are #blackowned“

“Uber eats food from here tonight and the bowls were super good. The chicken was moist but wish it was shredded better, there were chunks in it. Better than not having any chicken in it tho lol. The vegetables in my bowl tasted fresh. Didn’t see the sour cream in there but like I said it was really good taste. Will definitely order again :)“

“Delicious fresh burgers and wonderful fries they hit the spot much tastier than the big box fast food joints“

“good food great women and good service“

“the best burgers and waffle fries :)“

“I don't know who manages this Charley's😋on Broadway Avenue in the hood but I tell y'all this....their food is always HOT&FRESH to order. The customer service is 💯. The food is Delish!!!
Charley's is the BEST restaurant in that area. The one on Lee Road need help.... Young Stunners keep up the Great!!! customer service. To the owner those young adults rep Charley's to the fullest. Give them a raise will I give them a Praise for Excellence❤“

“Really like rallys and the location of this particular restaurant is super convenient right by the highway so it's easy to find and get too and the good is really good for a fast food restaurant and you can't beat the value of their 4 dollar meal deal that comes with a hot apple pie for dessert and the fries are a seasoned fry and really tasty with a decent crunch to them and the burger is really good that comes with sweet pickles and onions so it's a very tasty burger as for the parking lot it sits right on the corner of brookpark road and pearl road so sorry accessible but the only thing about this place is the lot is on the small side so they do have some tight turns and only about 10 parking spots is the only downside but most of the business here is thru the drive thru but hey it's still a great spot to get you burger fix quickly I'll certainly will be back time and again😎“

“Served by 777 on 09/05
The staff member was nice, attentive and quick. She handled everything so smoothly. I didn't have cash on hand to leave a tip unfortunately but she definitely deserved one.
The store is clean and tidy. Everyone there does a tremendous job.“

“Heard nothing but great things about this place so I stopped by because I was fairly close by and I had a craving for a cheesesteak. Unfortunately after driving around the block 3 times, I couldn’t find a place to park. So I wasn’t able to give them a try…I’m a westsider and I’m not normally in the area, so not sure when I’ll be back.“

“I just want to give a big thumbs 👍 up, I've been here 5-6 times and it never disappoints, Today I ordered the small original cheese steak as I was waiting on my sandwich and it was accidentally given to another customer, so they upgraded my sandwich to a large and gave me a free Fry, That's what you call great people working there and you guys didn't have to do that I understand mistakes happen, Thank you“

“I always loved the food here but it was going downhill so we didn't go there for a while. So we were in the area and decided to eat there (but in the car because it was depressing) however, I was surprised that they gave the restaurant a complete makeover. So clean and everything was new. Food was awesome too.“

“First time trying Mr.Hero today. I was skeptical at first. But glad I tried it. I enjoy trying something new every so often. I would say the pricing is just about the same as a Big Mac. Just this food is actually fresh and delicious. We got our meal within 5 minutes. Would definitely recommend this place if you are skeptical as I was.“

“the best burgers and waffle fries :)“

The Best McDonald’s Experience I’ve Ever Had – Right in My Neighborhood!

This McDonald’s on Pearl & Denison is more than just fast food — it’s a reminder that kindness still exists. I’ve eaten at many McDonald’s locations, even the mansion one in Independence, OH… but none compare to this one.

What makes this spot so special isn’t just the food — it’s the people. We live in a beautifully diverse neighborhood, but with that comes real-life challenges like poverty. I once saw a man loitering outside, and another customer stepped up and gave the cashier money so he could eat. No questions asked. No judgment. Just pure compassion.

The employees here treat everyone with respect, no matter their background or situation. They don’t just serve — they care. Even my service dog-in-training, Hazel (or as I call her, my angel), has been welcomed warmly. We’ve sat and eaten together with zero issues — just smiles and kindness all around.

Love sees no color at this McDonald’s. The atmosphere is warm, the people are real, and the compassion is unmatched. If you’re looking for more than just a meal — if you’re looking for humanity — this is the place. Thank you to the staff for being the heart of the neighborhood. ❤️“

“The countertop is a boat how cute.
Great food. Chicken and fries fried hard with sauce 10/10.
Fish polish boys. Footlong hot dogs with extra chilli. Shrimp scampi. Fried shrimp. Just the greatest. I buy everything when I go just so I can taste it all. They have cakes and drinks available. Man love the sauce. Nice lady nice man great owner“

“This place was soooooo good !! First timer and my daughter who is 5 was able to enjoy something off the menu 😁 highly recommend“

“Drive-thru always quick, always done right!“

“Excellent food choices and quality“

“The owner of this location is awesome. Engages with the staff and customers. Is sincerely appreciative of their patronage. The service is very fast, and the food quality is above par of MANY McDonald's restaurants. Definitely recommend this location and look for the best owner of this McDonald's.“

“they burnt my sons chicken tenders, french fries was cold and gross. my gyros had tomato and onions when i said not to have any of that in them, so i had to pick enormously amount of it off both gyros asked for extra bread didn’t get it, plus my pita bread on over cooked and crunchy and i didn’t get no bbq added to the tenders! definitely will not order from here again, waste of 50 bucks! #terribleexperience #NEVERAGAIN 😒🙅‍♀️“

“I recently visited the Subway in Circleville and had a solid experience. The sandwiches are made to order with fresh veggies and plenty of topping options. I went with a classic Italian B.M.T., and the bread was soft yet held everything together nicely. The staff was friendly and worked quickly, even when the shop was busy. Prices are reasonable, and there are healthier choices like salads and wraps too. A dependable spot for a quick, customizable meal on the go.“

“It's a brand new Arbys. Very clean . I was hoping the food would be hotter. Stale french fries. Non melted cheese on my sandwich. I do understand sometimes things happen in the f&b business. And this was my first time back in at least 3 years. Bc I do like their food. Just want to enjoy it fresh.“

“As most Europeans, I not fan of sandwiches as a main meal, but in States usually not much options are available, especially in airports. Avo Turkey sandwich was full of taste, gets five stars in sandwich rating. Service was friendly and fast.“

“I had Rally's yesterday and my order was messed up! Took the food back in and Latoya fixed the problem with no problem! She has great customer, she's polite, kind and caring when it comes to her job! So my fiancé ordered a chili dog and I tried one and it was so good we went back today! Latoya was there again! She has such great customer service that I'm only going to this Rally's! She DEFINITELY NEEDS A RAISE!“

“i’m here an embarrassing amount and the employees are all starting to memorize my order. occasionally have to wait for something to be made but the kitchen people are literally always cooking so it’s not like they’re not doing anything they’re just a busy location. they’re very nice here and one of the girlies made a fresh batch of greens for me today which i didn’t expect but certainly appreciated :) whatever they’re making it’s not enough given they’re lowkey risking their lives working in steelyard. corporate should give them hazard pay lol“

“Pleasantly surprised! My sandwiches were hot and fresh! Especially my fish sandwich! They didn't have tomato or lettuce. But I was ok with it. The lady was really nice. Spoke happily. Wish me a good day. I sat parking lot and ate my lunch. I was really surprised!!! Thx Rally!“

“This 5 star is for the young man belive the name was ramsey. Is one of the nicest workers the store was about to close he was kind enough to make 10 six inch sandwiches for my youth basketball league even gave away 10 free cookies just before they closed!“

“fast, friendly service everytime we go.“

“Surprisingly good and inexpensive for an in zoo restaurant. We had a burger and a chicken sandwich, and spent $25 after drinks. Both sandwiches came with house chips, which were crisp and there were plenty of them. Food comes frozen, but is heated up on a grill or in the fryer so it doesn't taste as if it was microwaved. Would recommend planning your day so you eat here instead of at the food court in the main zoo. The Rainforest Cafe is a bit nicer because it has indoor and outdoor seating, so if it is hot or cold you can eat inside. Wasn't very crowded when we were there around 12:30.The one employee cooking the food when we were there looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there, and made the food kinda slowly. Lady working the checkout was very friendly though.“

“I don't think anything needs to be said the Stars speak for themselves perfect score

EDIT: admittedly I am very biased about my chicken and some of the other chicken spots within Cleveland aren't exactly in my top 10 the crispy chicken spot in the rapid stop gas station on East 55th and Payne the only other chicken serving restaurant that I'll ever go to besides them is red Walters over near East 85th Street those are the only two chicken restaurants or spots in general in Cleveland that me and my family will go to otherwise we don't go anywhere else we don't touch nobody else chicken if it ain't made within the house or in them two businesses“

“It is 6:14 p.m. to the evening cook when someone pays for a gyro they are looking forward to the sauce. I paid for extra sauce. It looks like you rubbed the sauce on the bread like. Instead of pouring the sauce on top of the sandwich. Minus the sauce everything else was excellent. Don't be scared to squeeze that cucumber bottle.“
