“Great find! Would never have guessed a gem in a little strip mall. Super clean and tastefully decorated. (I am bias to Roosters however) Top notch service! The place was hopping and the staff stayed on top of it. Chefs super friendly and thanked us for coming. Food was promptly brought out hot, coffee cup was never empty. Great selection of breakfast items, we wanted to try everything! Reasonably priced! Highly recommend! Please support local establishments like The Sleepy Rooster!“

“C & S is a terrific option for an evening out. Consistently good food, yummy cocktails and always a spirited atmosphere. Shoutout to Brett - Friendly, strikes up just the right amount of chit chat, and pays attention to the customer’s needs. Give that man a free full course meal! 😊“

“Had an amazing dinner this Friday night. Lynn was fantastic. We have enough from each dinner for 2 or more meals. Heve not been there for a very long time. Excited to go back soon“

“Food is good, however in the past they along with other restaurants showed appreciation for Veterans by offering a complimentary meal to the Veteran(s) on Veterans Day. They don't do that anymore. Now its a complimentary ice cream desert and a gift card for an appetizer for your next visit. Don't come here Veterans... dont come here on Veterans Day. Go to Outback or Applebee's where you can actually feel appreciated the one day out of the year.“

“Great food, impeccable service and “chill” vibe! Casual fine dining at its best!“

“I love eating at Gateway diner. It’s always a friendly experience. It feels like Home there. The staff is so kind that atmosphere is so warm. It’s got that true diner experience that you don’t often get anymore plus the pancakes slap.“

“I got the 1/2 pound bacon BLT and the Chicken Tenders with French toast. Lots of quality food, and fast, friendly service. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants quality at a fair price. For a small sit down/carry out restaurant, I thought the place was super clean and new looking with white quartz counters and white wall tiles. Looks very new inside.“

“Food is great, we found this on google, best find! Breakfast is reasonably priced, service is good.“

“This is one of my new favorites in the Cleveland Area of the only place I visited in a long time that gives you 2 Nice Sized Pieces of Catfish, 4 hush puppies, Coleslaw and FRESH CUT edible FRIES all for one price. I have been here 5 times and they have am Amazing Chicken Philly Sandwich these both items are seasoned to perfection and not to salty like most places you can barely tolerate the heavy seasonings from something who has to watch their salt intake. Jumbo Chicken Rolls are a most have my family love those as well! Most places I have to toss my food. Customer Service is always friendly and patient staff is always with a good attitude fast service and clean location. Compliments to the chef staff and the great owner!!! Glad this business exists.“

“We reviewed Hello Bistro in Beachwood OH, well JRK did because Joe was too busy "working"...... Tried the Tex Mex burger – looked great, but it was tiny and bland. I was expecting flavor fireworks, but it was more like a flavor fizzle. The avocado was the highlight though! The fries were fresh and tasty, and the house-made ranch? Chef’s kiss. As for the chocolate chip cookie… I thought it was fresh, but it was more like a sad, store-bought rock. Tex Mex Burger 5.5 Hand cut fries 6.1 House Made Ranch 8.2 Chocolate Chip Cookie 2.0“

“The food and service were excellent. Always there asking if you needed anything. Service incredible and great group of people coming there to get great food!“

“I purchase a Salmon bowel over rice ,and a burger for later long day office.OMG my taste buds were watering it was well seasoned not salty at all each bit was as satisfying as the last.Well done ,well price and my stars are well deserved...👍“

“TLP has quickly become a staple in our date night routine! Every visit is consistently amazing. The food is bursting with flavor and offers a unique twist on classic favorites—we’re always impressed. The atmosphere is just as incredible; every staff member we’ve met is genuinely friendly and seems to truly enjoy what they do. Special shoutout to Peter, the manager— he always goes above and beyond to make us feel like family and ensures everything runs smoothly. If you’re thinking about going—do it! You will NOT be disappointed!“

“I’ve been coming here for YEARSSS. The best mocha hands down.“

“When I mention Academy Tavern I mention “Cheers,” where every one knows your name. The establishment provides great food, great pricing, personable and timely bar staff, and conversation with anyone and everyone. Owner, Jessica’s smile and giggles are heart warming, and Owner Chris makes sure every woman is walked to her car by a man in the restaurant if not himself. If this isn’t community, I don’t know what is.“

“Excellent food!“

“BELIEVE THE REVIEWS! It’s really good!

After looking at the top breakfast joints in the city I landed on this one! I was gonna ask two ladies entering the building before me if the food was good but I didn’t. I didn’t need to! The moment I hit the door I could smell the good cooking!

It’s kind of a hole in the wall with what looks like a store front, on a mini strip plaza. My server, Emily, gave me the run down on the menu and I chose her recommendation and it was as she described - in short, DELICIOUS!

The food came out QUICK and cooked very good.

Will definitely try this place again when I come back to Cleveland“

“Easy 5 stars all they way around at Heritage! Went last weekend and had the BEST Wagyu ( local from Southington, OH). Our server, Lilly, was very knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating and helpful. The food and drink speaks for itself; this is a must try and in the top echelon of CLE fine dining.“

“We started coming when the Mentor store first opened we’ve been here every weekend sense. The people and food keep us coming back“

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

“The best food and service for the money in Chagrin“

“family had a fun time and enjoyed the food and atmosphere!“

“Yours Truly is great! The food is always good! Ive never had anything that wasn't amazing. The service is always nice and friendly. Once seated, you do get served pretty quickly. There can sometimes be a wait but its worth it. Definitely a kid friendly place.“

“Lovely food (Bacon Cheeseburger with Preffered Fries is my go-to), friendly servers, quick service. I've been eating there since my late teens ^_^. Highly recommended!“

“I talked my husband into going. We went on Friday evening, we sat at the bar, service was great. As we sat there I heard a saxophone with my back to the band. I asked my husband is that a sax I hear. He said yes. The band was good. My husband said "this is going to be my new go to place". Nice crowd.“

“First time stopping by today and I'm glad I did! I loved the Polish girl boxed meal-hadn't had one in years! It was delicious! 😋 Friendly service in a tiny, quaint spot! ☺“

“Pretty nice little Italian restaurant. Got the chicken parmigiana dinner to go with a canoli and it didn't disappoint. Came with a side salad and Italian dressing which was nice. The sauce is good spaghetti was good chicken and cheese was great. Lots of flavor and fresh. Decent portions. Canoli was tasty as well. I would recommend trying this place out it ain't too bad. Nice little outside area to eat as well. Glad I finally stopped by to try it out. I wasn't disappoint and I'll be back. 🙂“

“Nice patio area. Reasonable prices and large menu selection.“

“We’ve enjoyed many wonderful tasting menus over the years, but our New Year’s Eve experience at JoJo’s truly stood out as something special. Executive Chef Landon and his incredible Executive Sous Chef, Joe, presented our family with one of the most memorable and perfectly executed dinners we’ve had. Since we couldn’t decide between the options, we shared everything, and we’re so glad we did. The stone crab claws and lamb lollipops were an outstanding start. For entrées, my husband chose the bone‑in ribeye while I had the lobster ricotta agnolotti with black truffle. Both were exceptional. We ended the night by sharing the Luxardo cheesecake and the champagne‑poached pears, which were the perfect finish. The champagne and wine we were suggested were spot‑on, though the wine pairing would have been a great choice as well. The management team, with Mark and Ryan leading the ship that night, made the evening seamless, and our bartender, Michael, was an absolute professional. truly, everyone there is fantastic. Chef Landon once shared a quote with us from Oscar Wilde: “To the strangers that become friends and those friends become family.” That sentiment perfectly captures what we love most about every experience here. We could not recommend this establishment more.“

“This place is the best ain't enough stars to click they need 10 stars and the sever we had is the best me and my family ate very happy and will come as much as possible thank to or waiter jenevieve I hope I spelled it right .she the best person ever a big plus to yell establishment.“

“Such an amazing restaurant! Craig, our bartender was so engaging and kept us laughing all afternoon! He also told us so many cool tidbits about the restaurant (e.g., the custom made chandelier in the background of my pic weighs 1,900 pounds and made out of metal nuts, ya know, like nuts and bolts, and is titled “The World is Nuts”). Now, let’s talk menu! The food is so delicious and the menu has so many options! The food is all freshly prepared, no frozen pre-packaged ANYTHING here! You can’t go wrong, especially at happy hour! LOL!!! Just go, already!!! You’ll thank me later!!!“

“Delicious Caesar salad! The anchovies were a very nice touch!“

“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!“

“the Burek is amazing! I love the cheesecake they have.“

“I came here with my friend last week! We did not have reservations, but we were able to get seated immediately! The staff were so friendly! And our food was prepared very quickly! I would highly recommend this place! I got the classic burger! It was fantastic! I asked for the burger to be cooked medium well, and it
was exactly how I wanted it!“

“My first visit was a resounding success! I ordered the fish sandwich and fries along with an order of soul rolls. The fish was delicious and I was really full from it, but I had to bite into one of the soul rolls. Before I knew it, I had ate half of it and I knew I was full already. It was just so delicious that I couldn’t stop taking bites. Everything was prepared fresh and I didn’t wait long either. I definitely recommend them and will be back myself.“

“Amazing food every time you go ! Best chicken fingers ever !!“

“Wow! What an absolutely wonderful place to celebrate our 25th anniversary! The staff was so kind, especially Michael and Genevieve!!!!! Loved talking with both of them! The food here is incredible and very creative. Every single thing on your plate serves a purpose to the overall taste. Superb wine selection as well! We also loved its overall ambience and elegance. Hope to return someday!!!“

“Having a tip automatically added to the bill of two people is off-putting. For the record, I'm a good Tipper. I did actually add to the 15% automatically added because our server was awesome. But tipping is an addition, not part of the bill. Heck, add it to the cost of the food and I'll pay it. but not in tipping. that's my choice.“

“A-MA-ZING 🤩🤩so many sleeping on this Cleveland gem 💎 literal artisans whipping up THE BEST wings, fries, shrimp. Hell! Even their baked potato is bomb! Moved to CLE from the dirty south and had the hardest time finding good food up here. Then I found Calypso's. They got the flavor, the spices, aaaaaaallll the sauce, and the sweetest employees. How such a small joint can be pushing out so much goodness is a wonder to me, and I loooove it!!!“

“This is the best bar ever“
