“Swensons, you never let me down. Love that you are open late. Love the melty cheese on the beef patty. Love the perfect blend of jalapeno and cheddar in those fried poppers. The way the fries are always crispy. I just...love you, man. ❤️“

“Fantastic Atmosphere. It's a local Gem Hiding in Elyria. I Have not encountered any poor visits. Food is always good. They will hook you up with their seasonal beverages and entrée's. Tell them Sashi reccomended it.“

“📍 Flippin Jerry’s – Elyria, OH 🎶🔥🍔 Food truck vibes done right. With lights flashing, music playing, and the crew clearly having a blast, Flippin Jerry’s isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience. Here’s what we tried today (and LOVED): 🍔 Kickin Jerry Burger – 8.3/10 Wagyu beef. Pepper jack. Fried pickled jalapeños. CLE Campfire BBQ sauce. 🔥 This thing had heat, flavor, and balance. Every bite delivered a spicy, smoky punch. A seriously good burger. 🍟 Zippy Fries – Elevated fry game Hot, crisp, and tossed with garlic & parsley — way more than just a side. These fries hold their own. 🥤 Chocolate Malt Shake – Dessert MVP Rich, creamy, and dangerously drinkable. Almost grabbed a second. No regrets, just restraint. If you see this food truck around Elyria or the CLE area, do yourself a favor — go try it. Good food, good people, and a vibe that makes you want to hang out all day. 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time. Follow along at @joeandjrkfoodreviews for mouthwatering meals, honest scores, and the best hidden gems you need to try. Come hungry.“

“There was 7 of us total including 2 kids that came in for dinner. It was busy and we only waited about 5 minutes for a table. The waitress was wonderful and attentive, food was good. My daughter ordered the pancakes and I am not a big pancake person but they tasted so good! We love blue sky and will be back for sure!“

“Just visited here with my boyfriend tonight and we were the only people in the front dining room! The food was great and very great value. Feel like they are getting screwed because of the construction right there. Would have went past it myself if my boyfriend hasn’t been there before and pointed it out. Very much recommend. Will be back very soon. :)“

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

“Great food and attentive bar godesses“

“Great food. Great staff. Restaurant good use some TLC on windows and seats to clean.“

“Love everything about this place.“

“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.“

“The food and service is always excellent. They have some games for kids inside the dining room that our kids enjoy playing while we wait for our food.“

“The Nest at Grey Hawk Golf Club offers a diverse and delightful dining experience, evident from its well-received weekday specials to it's live music. I really appreciate a place that supports live local artists. Usually the unsigned artists are way more talented than the mainstream ones. Have you heard of Master T.C. & The Visitors. they are one of the best Ohio bands I've seen you would love them and they would go perfect with the vibes of The Nest. Ive seen The Domans and Billy Likes Soda. Will definitely be back for more live music! The variety on the menu, spanning from appetizers and flatbreads to steak and live music on Fridays, showcases the establishment's commitment to offering a range of enjoyable options for its patrons. The Nest at Grey Hawk Golf Club is a versatile and inviting spot, appealing to both food enthusiasts and those seeking an enjoyable evening out. Its also the perfect place to go on a date or just a night to hang out with friends! We will be back soon for sure!“

“Love this place. Our favorite breakfast spot by far. The chicken and”sweet” waffles are great. Pretty much love everything I’ve tried there. Keep doing what you guys are doing.“

“Yummy! Me and my hubby stopped in after our appointments today. Had a delicious breakfast. I got corned beef hash, sunny side up egg and he got chopped steak and eggs and we split some pancakes 🥞. Everything was cooked to perfection, flavorful and great price. Waitress was a sweetheart too! This is the type of place we both grew up eating at with our grandparents. Hope to bring our kids with us in the future one day. Happy customers!“

“Our first visit to Wolfe's and we were quite impressed. Seated at a window table in the bar, very comfortable. Greeted by Eileen who was super nice. Went over the menu with us, took our drink order. Ordered a pepperoni & sausage calzone to start. DELICIOUS!!! Dave had a steak salad and I had grilled cheese sandwich with chips. We finished the afternoon off by ordering 2 specialty pizzas to go. I can't stress enough the excellent service Eileen gave us. We will definitely be back and ask for a table with Eileen. Thank you, Eileen! Carol and Dave“

“Had breakfast here today and I loved the service and food. Have been looking for a restaurant like this since I moved out here. Happy to finally find a non chain restaurant that I want to dine at often.“

“Excellent food. Great friendly staff“

“Whitney was our server. she was very polite and the service was outstanding!!“

“Food was good, but the temperature in there is ridiculous. With all the business you have, I think you can afford central air. Definitely won't go again in the Summer.“

“My family and I traveled back to our hometown in Ohio for a funeral. We wanted to have some fun to cheer us up and we got in late, so this was the only place open later on a Sunday. We were so happy that we could let go and have a nice time together for some affordable bowling and some good food. The bartender was very helpful and she gave great service. Thank you to the staff for lightening our night last week.“

“Good service and appreciate the variety“

“LaGrange Tavern Review

LaGrange Tavern is a cozy neighborhood spot with a laid-back atmosphere and solid American pub fare. The menu includes classics like burgers, wings, and sandwiches, often with a creative twist. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the bar has a good selection of beers and cocktails. Service is friendly and efficient. Great for casual nights out, watching a game, or grabbing a bite with friends.“

“We've been coming here a few years for lunch with the Grinch. We always have fun, the staff is friendly and the food is good. Really the best Grinch ever!!! 🤣 Hopefully they do this for years to come, the family loves it. Thanks! ❤️💚“

“I love this place the server are wonderful and management is concern about how your treated the place is clean clean clean and safety is #1 priority“

“Food is excellent, as well as the service. Ask for David he will take great care of you!“

“My husband and I arrived just before closing on a Sunday night. The staff was incredibly kind---even welcomed us with a smile.
Our server was Melissa. She was attentive and and treated us as if it was the beginning of her shift. I am now re-evaluating how I approach my employment. I finished my meal inspired to do a better job where I work---and most of all, to be more kind.
Thank you to all of those working on a Sunday night February 23, 2025.“

“I had a really great waitress wish I could remember her name. She was on top of everything didnt have to aske for napkins, a refill or a take home container. Didnt feel rushed and was super nice. Very Charismatic. 10/10 food was good and service over the top.“
