50 Best American Restaurants near Mayfield Heights

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

“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!!!“

“Pumpkin pancakes are incredibly delicious, served with butter and warm syrup, yummy 😋“

“So, long story short, don't expect any kind of service from the bartender if you come on a Saturday evening. I started not to say anything but after a lot of thought I felt like this needs to be said. My wife and I have visited this place on several occasions usually during the week and had great service from Maggie. However this past Saturday was a complete disaster. We came in to have a burger and beer and after arriving and sitting at a table in the bar area we waited.......and waited ........ and waited. Finally after sitting and watching the bartender who we later learned was Kate socializing with what appears to be her friends for almost 15 minutes we finally flagged a guy walking by asking him if there was a waitress for this area. He stopped immediately and apologized asking what we wanted to drink and then proceeded to go behind the bar and grab our drinks himself. Coming back he apologized and asked if we wanted something to eat and took our order. Our food was later brought out by someone else and the whole time the bartender continued to socialize with the two or three people at the bar that appeared to be friends. Only after our food was brought out did she finally decide to tear herself away from her social group and grace her with her presence, and even this interaction seemed to be a bother to her. Guess I made a long story longer. Point is the bartender Kate is ok if you're in her social group. If you're not forget about getting any kind of service from her.“

“The Honey Baked Ham is the best ham I have ever had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into. I love them so much❤️❤️❤️“

“This was my first time at Cork-N-Bottle. I was very pleased. I honestly did not know what to expect but I was very happy when I walked out! I sat in a booth and was seen from one of the bar tenders. Right away I was approached and served very good drinks and food.“

“Food is consistently great & huge portions. Deon was a fabulous waiter. Had no problem with our group of ten aged 3 to 67.“

“I ordered catering for a Bridal Shower and worked with the GM Vonda. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was ordered correctly and we received everything perfectly. I talked with her multiple times leading up to the event and she checked in with me regularly. It was the easiest most pleasant experience I have ever had ordering catering, not to mention the food was delivered hot and absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be a returning customer and I am very grateful for Vonda making my sisters day so special.“

“Amazing! This was our first time here for a family birthday party, and it did not disappoint. Mary was hands down the best waitress we’ve ever had—top-notch friendly, incredibly informative, and she truly made the entire night memorable. We can’t say enough great things about her. The drinks were outstanding. We tried five or six off the menu, and every single one was handcrafted and delicious. Favorites were the Old Fashioned, Cat’s Meow, espresso martinis, and my absolute favorite—the Frosted Sour. The food was out of this world, and the place itself is super cute with a great ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“The owners, staff, food, and drinks are all so awesome!“

“my first time at 17!! it was excellent. the food. the drinks. the service. very aesthetically pleasing. definitely one of my top favorite places now. thank you!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I can't believe I haven't given them a review yet. I come here often and also order delivery too. Nice people, fast and consistent food. I've tried several things on the menu and all good. I recommend this place anytime anyone is looking for a simple, diner style experience nearby.“

“The atmosphere and food are amazing. Will definitely be back.“

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

“SMASH BURGER ✅ CHICKEN FINGERS ✅ STEVE’s TACO✅ FRIES ✅ Great food, cute patio for a quick bite! Tasty, informal dining and friendly service!“

“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.“

“The staff was amazing! My 17 (!) friends and family members and I had a blast for my bachelorette party. Our pre- dinner activity finished a whole hour and a half before our reservation and they made it work to help me stay stress free for the evening. Aimee, our server, was so sweet and ensured my group of gals were taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend!“

“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“

“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! 😊“

“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.“

“Let's see. I had the wings and fries. Everything was hot and fresh. Weds $1.00 wings is a hit. Best around. The ladies at the counter greeted me when I walked in and thanked me for my order. You don't get that often anymore! Thank you!“

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

“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...👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Great club sandwhich and very friendly owenership. Just make the trip and you wont be dissapointed.“

“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.“

“Great food and great shakes“

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

“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! ☺“

“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.“

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

“We have been using this restaurant for pick up but this was our first time to eat in. Overall, service was good and food was good as well. They were pretty busy and all outdoor seats were taken so we ate indoors where it was too cold with ac for me.

We ordered Harissa Cauliflower which was good but wished they were bigger cauliflower pieces, Fish Tacos which were good with crunchy fish and spicy jalapeno. We ordered beer and a house wine. I am so happily surprised they charged only $4 for Melot which was so reasonable compared with Ledger Bat at Metropolitan Hotel at 9 downtown Cleveland charged generic glass of wine for $20.“

“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 have been going to Chicago Deli every Saturday with my friends for years! Love the food and the friendly staff!!“

“This is the best bar ever“
