“Yesterday was a Sunday, I worked all day. On top of it, my Jeep had a flat and it was late on a Sunday so no shops were open. I hadn't had the chance to go grocery shopping because I worked overtime last week because its Birthday Season/Holiday Season. So decided to doordash dinner because i was starving. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with Mayo on it. First there was no bacon. How do you forget to put bacon on a bacon cheeseburger? The burger was blackened burnt.Then there was no Mayo on it, and usually that wouldn't bother me cuz it's a condiment that is usually in most people's fridges, except mine, because I hadn't gone grocery shopping. I can't eat a dry burger. Needless to say I went to bed hungry last night. May I add I work in healthcare and we're in an active covid outbreak. I was so exhausted and work has been so stressful, that this whole ordeal literally made me cry tears. I felt defeated and I was looking forward to chowing down that burger. The most upsetting part was how much my food cost, and the prices are hiked on doordash. I can't wrap my head around how careless the cook obviously was.“

“Where do I start ? Came for dinner Wednesday night and then came for dinner Thursday again. That should say something . I’m beyond impressed by the Staff and the establishment, it beyond exceeded my expectations. We have a lot of fine dining in the Poconos region with some higher end restaurants and this place exceeded them. The quality of the food is superior. Take a look at some of the pics of the food we ordered. Ended up meeting Sean the head chef and impressed how he runs his kitchen , everything goes with the flow . Make sure you make a reservation :) we ended up not making one and we got seated over looking the kitchen and it was the best place. You see all the action. Can’t wait to come back from Poconos.

“great ambiance, superior food!“

“Love the food and the friendly workers at the gateway diner“

“Our first time here, about 1:30 there were a few people and a few more came in after we did. Our waitress came over immediately and was very friendly. The restaurant is clean. A fairly extensive menu and they serve breakfast and lunch all day. I had an omelette my husband had a burger and we both enjoyed our meals. Good value for the money as well“

“Long time customer from when they took over the yesterdays restaurant. Years ago it was much better. The spaghetti was really a bolognese sauce that was AMAZING and would have been a $20 plate in other restaurants. That was 20 years ago. When they went to a marinara I asked why? And the owner told me no one would order it with the name bolognese lol. And they wanted a simple marinara sauce. Oh well. The rest of the menu started to suffer some when they started to open more restaurants. They started to not give a dinner roll when they use too, less stuff on a simple side salad. Saving a penny here and there. I know others that feel the same way. Mary's is still a good place. Fast service, always seem friendly lol. But it use to be very very good. Breakfasts are always great. Not much to change there. But some things show the cut backs to seemingly fund more restaurant. We use to go far more often then now. But we still go, and still happy with everything. But if you are a long term customer you saw the changes. Scale of 5 stars I would have gave it a solid 5 before. And I am a TOUGH grader on things as you can tell. Now about a 3.75. Service 4.75 Price 4.50 Food 3.00 I place a heavier value on the food as it is the real reason people go to a restaurant. TO EAT. Madison and Geneva is better to have them for sure. But we have so few good restaurants. What we need is a good deli. Not sure why but everything is pizza or fast foods or Italian. I would suggest a couple new things on the menu. Thank you for your contribution to our community. Tom“

“Jordan was our waitress this morning! So efficient and fun“

“Great food and great shakes“

“Had dinner last night at the bar. The bartenders were excellent as usual and the food was great. Thanks!“

“Started with a shrimp cocktail - pretty standard fare with large size shrimp. We have a filet and swordfish. Both were hot and tasty. The bacon Brussel sprouts we very good according to my wife :-) , my side dishes were also very nice. The dessert was a cheese cake with berries - very creamy smooth cheese cake. Our waitress was very attentive.“

“we come here every Monday!! How come you've been out of cherry tomatoes for almost 2 months ? no other restaurant we go to is every out of them? it's so annoying?? can't you go to the local grocery store and purchase some??“

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

“First time going on my Birthday and service was super and food was amazing!!! Highly recommend !!“

“Good food great service every time“

“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“

“First of all I am very picky about my pizza. But there isn't a pizza place around that makes a better pizza than Lucio's. I've had Original NY style, Chicago, Detroit. You name it I've have ate it. Lucio's never disappoints.“

“Outdoor patio in the summertime is fantastic, but usually packed. Great place for live music. Service and food is good and consistent.

Parking: The steak is very good and was cooked perfectly medium, pink center throughout.“

“just had dinner, waitress was nice, and very helpful. we both enjoyed the chicken paprika so much. and the hostess treated us to champagne for my birthday. nice to enjoy , so close to home. Mike and debbie“

“The server was very nice, and the place was clean. I ordered breakfast food, and the order came back really fast. I personally felt the food was a little blane for my taste. The portions size was perfect.

Wheelchair accessibility: Is access for people in a wheelchair.“

“Nice atmosphere and friendly staff!“

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

“Recently, I visited The Original Hotdog Factory with a group of friends. There were menu options for any dietary needs. I ordered the Factory Loaded Fries! They would best be described as a chili dog over fries. The chili was absolutely delicious and the serving size was enough for 2! I highly recommend this restaurant for the variety of food, numerous options, serving size, flavor, and freshness! You won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait to visit again.?

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is conveniently located in the food court at Great Lakes Mall. Fortunately, the tables can be moved to accommodate individuals who require the use of wheelchairs or other equipment.“

“Nice spot. Smaller than old Shaker Hts. location, yet quaint and comfortable. The waitress, Ebony, did a great job with our party of 11 on a Friday. The DJ that came later that evening was off the chain! We really enjoyed ourselves in friends & family birthday celebration.“

“The food was really good, the two gentleman that served us was awesome! I I just didn’t like that. They seated me in the bar area and it was my fiancé’s birthday and I also made reservations. We didn’t get the candle light or the heated patio, the romantic things so I was, unhappy about that.“

“Great atmosphere, amazing drink selections, food was good and our waitress Gabby was awesome!“

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

“We had such a great time playing there!! Great crowd and friendly service toward the Pawn Band.“

“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!!!“

“Great service, great drink and eats game time & happy hour specials! Great place to watch football! BUT, they need to season their burgers. The taste is just plain-Jane. Good buns, fixings, fries and salads.... a little garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper will go a long way. Burger is in your name....step it up a notch please.“

“Fantastic lunch with a great friend! couldn't decide between a couple items so the waitress suggested their Toofer - basically a soup and sandwich. I got the Seafood Bisque cup and a half Ruben sandwich. Both tasted great and waitress was spot on (there when we needed her and not there when we didn't need her). I'll definitely go back and try other menu options! RECOMMEND!“

“Loved our visit, great unique meal. and loved all our selections. Small intimate place with a wonderful menu.“

“We were seated right away, placed are order and it came out in a timely manner. Everything was great except the orange juice which has no taste. IMO, it seems watered down. Doesn’t taste like real OJ. and the coffee nots good either. 2 key items in the morning! But the food was really good!“

“Haven’t been to JT’s Diner for about two years. Thought we’d give it a try as we remembered it being good at their previous location. We were very disappointed in our breakfasts. My crisp bacon was burnt to a crisp with burnt taste upon first bite. Our home fries used to be excellent “sliced” potato’s, but yesterday came as mush and the scrambled eggs were not even cut….just folded like an omelet. Coffee was good and hot, as in the past. For $20.53 I expected better. Don’t think I would return.“

“Enjoyed listening to Forecasts“

“First time here and we were very impressed!! Not familiar with area but my husband and I were spending the morning with our son and his significant other at Patterson’s Farm. SO glad we chose Rise & Dine for our breakfast/lunch! The food was absolutely amazing and the service we received from Maddie was just as good!! Whenever we happen to be in the area we will definitely stop back!“

“We had the best day watching The Buckeyes at The Wild Goose! One of our sons lives in Willoughby & the other son & his wife live in Shaker Heights. Fav spot for our kids but our first time. The pizzas, onion rings & buffalo dip were amazing! Outstanding selection of beers. Loved the atmosphere. Charming but lots of TVs as well. Can’t say enough about the staff!!! Outstanding service & so friendly! Cant wait to come back!“

“In these trying times, going out for dinner is a luxury. Last night Murphy and James knocked it out of the park for my boyfriend and I ... oh yes I must give it up for the chefs who delivered a home run with our steaks. But James especially went above and beyond. He said he's been there 9 years so his kindness, efficiency and rapt attention must just be in his blood. Our experience went way beyond my wildest expectations and it was because of James. Thank you Murphy, James and Longhorn for restoring my faith in the world ... GOOD, HARDWORKING, CARING PEOPLE DO STILL EXIST 🙏🫶❤️“

“Great food, atmosphere and staff Always enjoy my meal there“

“Cocktails were perfect. We were served by Adam, and he was extremely attentive to our needs, and then some. Great service. Will definitely return again.“

“Best food in town. It’s family owned and run by people that care and it shows. They are always super friendly and they are known for generous portions. Everything is like mom makes…“

“We stopped I'm for dinner last night for the first time.It was excellent. Great food and service. Definitely will be back.“

“Enjoyed being with friends“
