Everyone loved the meals and left overs!“

“my wife and have always had great, outstanding meals here, plus the service is always outstanding. Just wanted to show our appreciation, thank u“

“Service was without a doubt 5 stars 🌟 We waited for nothing. We didn't ask for anything twice. Honestly, I'm not sure if we asked for anything at all. She was so attentive that she fulfilled needs without being asked to do so.
The appetizers were good, nice, hot, and timely. The apps were chicken nachos and mozzarella sticks 😋 The entrees were good except all fries were lukewarm at best. Literally the only thing wrong with this outing.
The atmosphere was cool. They were busy and a bit crowded but it didn't hinder anything except the fries lol.“

“This was my first time visiting and my experience was quite pleasant. It is a weekday so there was no wait. The place is clean and you don't feel like your sharing your table with strangers. The food was good, nice sized portions with a fair price, and the service was on point. I will definitely go again“

“friendly atmosphere great service and the food is excellent“

“We had a great dinner on a busy night. Highly recommend for date night or family outing.“

“Pizza was good! Nice addition to their menu.“

“Been out of state for 5 years was looking forward to eating here again. Food is still pretty good. Nice waitress that let us move to a table when it became apparent my elderly guests wasn't going to be able to get in or out of the booth.

Parking: It's a local parking lot and not dedicated to just the restaurant. Any local event fills it up fast. Get there early.“

“So happy that we finally went here!! We’ve been in the neighborhood for a bit now and just haven’t ventured out but we’re looking for a comfortable place and we certainly found it here. Good food, good service…we will be regulars for sure. I hate making dinner so I’m gonna be counting on you all!! You certainly didn’t let us down on our first visit! Looking forward to many more 😁 Andrea was a rock star server!!“

“First time there, would definitely go back. Food and service was great.“

“1st time visiting and the food was awesome as well as the service. Highly recommend!!!“

“Might just be one of the best burgers from a fast food joint that I have ever eaten. The Pretzel Bits were almost as good as the burger. I could eat those all day long. Service was very good and the tables were clean.
I highly recommend Culver's for my overall positive experience and a sublime burger! Will definitely be back.
5 Stars.“

“We recently discovered this restaurant, now it’s one of our favorites…“

“My first time there but it was my mom and cousins 2nd or 3rd time. I was a little weary at first because it’s very small and quiet, but it had just opened for the day when we got there but once people settled in, it definitely didn’t feel like we had to whisper. We had the absolute best waitress Helen and 100% would request her if you go there! We got scallops, ribeye with blue cheese butter, and the chicken pasta and all 3 were great portions for the price and tasted absolutely delicious. Not one complaint on the food at all. The drinks were also amazing, the waiters and waitresses actually make each drink their self opposed to a bartender doing all the drinks which I think is really cool and personal! They also bring them to you so chalk full you can barely take a sip without spilling it - not a bad thing! Definitely delicious blue cheese stuffed olives for a classic dirty martini, cosmo was great and the espresso martini was also amazing. To top it off my mom got the crème brûlée and said it was also good. My mom also accidentally spilled her drink everywhere and they were so sweet about it, getting napkins to cover the huge wet spot on the table and replacing her drink with no questions asked. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.“

“Great place! Nice menu to choose from. Reasonably priced too! Friendly, efficient staff too!“

“Great food and attentive bar godesses“

“Not gonna lie it was me and my groups first time at this location and I will say that it is truly a bop. The bartender Luis was super chill very energetic and stay engaged with us the entire time we had great laughs and he also had great recommendations! If you have never been here before trust me this is the place to be! We will be back no doubt!“

“Elyria Rotary Club just brought in a group of 15 and we had the best time. Delicious food and really AWESOME service from Remy! 🤩5 Stars!! Thanks for taking such great care of us!“

“This is one of my favorite spots in berea. Their food is solid, their drinks are reasonably priced, and the bartenders are typically amazing. Today I had Jaime. She was very kind. Despite being out of the vodka I wanted for a shot she was very accommodating and knowledgeable for a tasty replacement. She is a peach.“

“Had to eat out due to power outage. Cracker Barrel was first choice for a good meal being without power for five days. Had the Country Chicken dinner and thoroughly enjoyed. Toof off some of the stress. Thank you..“

“The food was good. Limited menu. But I was disappointed in my Lobster Flat Bread. The pic and what I got were nowhere close. I barely had any lobster, most pieces of flat bread didn’t have any lobster at all. The Calamari was tender and well-seasoned but not crispy. The breading seemed as if it had been sitting for a while. The drinks were good but pricey. The service was poor. Except the Sous chef, she was excellent. But the others were a bunch of young kids who all seemed to be brand new, unorganized, and not what i would expect in a place so expensive. The marinated Ahi Tuna was excellent. All of that being said, we enjoyed our time there, but $156 later, I doubt we will go back.“

“As airport bars go, it's fine. The service was a little slow after I got seated and the food selection isn't great but the quality of the food is good.

The size of the side of fries is frankly ridiculous and should serve two people. Solo travellers wanting a burger and fries will end up with more food than a human being needs before a flight. I left a lot of fries uneaten. This isn't a compliant address much as it is a heads up to others.“

“Good stuff. Hadn't been in a CoreLife eatery since before covid era. The menu has changed quite a bit, but still good food. The restaurant accommodations were a bit worn, but the place was clean. They have allergen guides on the serving counter glass for both the servers & the customers so that was a nice touch“

“We had our team dinner at Winking Lizard. We walked in with a group of 40 people. Our wait time for tables was less than 20 minutes. The two servers we had were awesome. The food came out hot and pretty quick. Shout out to the manager working today, she was on it!“

“Great place to have a party!! We had a large group for a surprise party, the staff was incredibly accommodating. Brooke handled our large group like a champ! I can’t say enough good things about her. Our party of about 50 people could not get over how amazing she was. No one went without a beverage and the food orders were on point.
Absolutely so pleased with the experience… we’ll continue to have our parties here.
Brooke - you rock!!“

“HUGE thank you to Miranda and the staff at Slim & Chubby’s for having my family this past Saturday night!! Our bartender Miranda was super attentive and kind to us all night and helped make the night so special. We have planned 2 parties here in the last few years and both have been huge successes. Highly recommend Slim & Chubby’s for large events or a casual night out!! Thank you for everything!!“

“My first visit there was for karaoke last week Melissa made me feel so comfortable I felt right at home what a great space I will be back“

“I’ve had breakfast at Claudette’s many times. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked to order. I highly recommend Claudette’s to everyone looking for good food, prompt service, and affordable prices.“

“The waiter Anthon was great at the Ruby Tuesday in Elyria,OHIO and the food was amazing.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff.“

“I had such a blessed experience at Applebee’s today, and I truly believe God orders our steps—even to the table we’re seated at. My server, Tammie, went above and beyond to serve with kindness, patience, and a joyful heart. She not only made sure my food was perfect, but she also treated me and my family with such warmth that it felt like dining with a friend.

In a world where good service can be hard to find, Tammie is a reminder of Colossians 3:23—“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” Her attention to detail and genuine care reflected that scripture beautifully.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and served with love. But more than the meal, it was the atmosphere of kindness and grace that left me full in spirit as well as in body. Thank you, Tammie, for letting your light shine!“

“Food was fantastic and the service was outstanding!!! Such a cozy scenic restaurant. Highly recommended!“

“Great“

“This resturant is very good. Waitresses are expedient and good. The food is very good. Wide selection for italian restaurant. Very romantic setting for date night. They only take people by reservation preferably. Getting in without one, is next to impossible.“

“Gina is like a favorite family member you haven't seen in a long time, she greets you with a happy smile. Greg, her nephew is the Cook. His Breakfasts are the BEST! Real Poached Eggs, Home Fries w onions are always sooo good 😋. Tasty 🥓 Bacon and Sausage. Selection of 🍞 Breads is nice. Prices are Awesome for Quality & Quantity of Food and Service. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“
