“The food here is outstanding“

“I was visiting my friends in Painesville and they insisted on my last day that we have breakfast at a place they called “FATS.” We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in the door. Roy was our server, and he told us that he was retiring that day and we were his first table. Roy is a national treasure, for sure!! Breakfast was phenomenal. I tried my bestie’s biscuits and chorizo gravy, which was spicy and had amazing flavor! I ate as much as I could of the generous portion of my tasty meal and the hospitality was exceptional. The vibe is so friendly and neighborly. I will definitely visit again! Best wishes to Roy!!“

“Not only do they have great food, the customer service is top notch! There was an error on our order and they went above and beyond to correct it. Highly recommend!“

“Thank you to Chris and all the staff at Brown Barn Tavern for making my 73 yrs old moms birthday so special! The food was phenomenal and the hospitality truly special. Highly recommend you check this place out for the Cracker encrusted Haddock, Reuben and drinks at Happy Hour cant be beat!“

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

“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.

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“great ambiance, superior food!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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. 🙂“

“Just had an amazing BBQ Chicken Wrap, its not just Hot Dogs! and the Ice Cream after was so good“

“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.“

“Concord Family Restaurant is an absolute gem in Painesville, Ohio ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted like family. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to care about their customers. The food is consistently delicious — real comfort food with generous portions at very reasonable prices. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you really can’t go wrong. The restaurant is always clean, cozy, and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for families, friends, or even a solo meal. Service is quick, coffee is always topped off, and they’re great with kids and larger groups too. If you’re in the Painesville/Concord area and want a great meal with even better service, Concord Family Restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“Thank you so much to Greg & staff for a wonderful Celebration of Life Party for my Mother in law. Staff was friendly & fast & the food was wonderful! I would definitely recommend having a party again at The Stadium!“

“My parents took me out for my 57th birthday to celebrate. When we arrived we were seated immediately which was really nice. We had an amazing waitress by the name of Jenna. Service was impeccable our meal was brought out in a timely manner and the food was very delicious.Everything we needed she never had any problem with going to get and I am really grateful and thankful again for the experience that she gave to us being there. We need more waitresses like her that make you feel special in spite of your skin color. Thank you Jenna for making our experience at the roadhouse a good one.“

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

“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!“

“Fantastic atmosphere and food! you have to meet Leon, the nicest gentleman serving us at the bar. Highly Recommend Cedar Creek!!!!“

“Thank you for the work you put into this patio and the atmosphere it creates! Love your food, service, bands! Delightful evening with friends, food, & music !“

“Nice little restaurant in town. More upscale than others like Appleby's, etc. Attentive staff and prompt service. Server checked on us once or twice to see if we needed anything. She anticipated our need for boxes. Parking is a little tight.“

“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!!!“

“Enjoyed being with friends“

The lady with the long dark hair that works there is incredible and always makes you feel special. Also their drink and food prices are very reasonable making this bar/restaurant one of the most affordable in town.“

“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.“

“We fell in love on our first trip. Giant portions and fast, professional service. I got the farmhouse and i took half home. My father in law got the oh cheesus and it was huge, he loved it. Well definitely be back, we already know what we want to try next time“

“It's a nice place with a nice vibe I can't speak on what it's like for the nightlife I just go during the day for happy hour. I do NOT in any form of way trust this city to attend to anything/ anywhere as far as the nightlife I just wanna be as safe as possible.“
