50 Best American Restaurants near Mayfield Heights

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Hostess was welcoming with her sweet smile. The server, Jennifer was great. She smiled too. The Manager/Chef came by to ask how everything was. He had a great smile, also. We love coming to this Bob Evans. We can count on receiving smiles, a nice welcome and Great food! Yum!“

“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 server did a good job, the food was excellent. Unfortunately they sat us at the crappiest table I have ever sat at in a restaurant and refused to move us when we asked despite there being at least 6 other open tables. It really ruined the experience for us, make sure you ask not to be seated at the crap table.“

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

“We went on a Monday towards the end of the morning Rush at about 11:00 11:30 or so we had to wait a few minutes for them to clear some tables for seated pretty quickly we had coffee ordered our food and it came really fast I have the spinach and mushroom I'm up with Swiss cheese and it was great the hash browns I would have liked a little bit more well done but they were good my husband said is over medium eggs were done perfectly I would go again“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Food and service we're great. Many interesting items on the menu. Good beer and wine selection. They know how to make a good cocktail. A little bit noisy where we were first seated but the server recognized that and asked if we wanted to move to a quieter section. We moved and it was much better. We were able to talk to each other.“

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

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

“Excellent food!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“The cook here is the best ever. Thank you Don. We appreciate you so much. Never had a bad meal with you cooking. Everyone should tip this cook.“

“Great environment. Good food. Amazing service“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ☺“

“Great breakfast. You can even make a fresh made malt or shake with it!“

“Service was friendly, fast and just nice. Coffee was amazing and they kept it topped off, old school style. Diner itself was a blast from the past and I loved it. It was a welcome change from the over planned feeling so many places go for anymore. As a millennial, it was stepping back to a childhood feeling place, sans the cig smoke.

Food was good and there was plenty of it. Grits were good, sausage gravy was good, home fries were actually home fries and good.“

“I have breakfast here every Friday and I love their food. I have met some of the nicest people that are regulars here like I am. The staff is awesome! The service is wonderful thanks to Lisa, Ricky and Ian.“

“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...👍“

“This is the best bar ever“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“Customer service was excellent. Our food was excellent. We ordered a rice bowl with salmon and wings with fries. The rice bowl was very flavorful. The wings were cooked crisp (exactly how we like them). Even the fries were good.
We enjoyed our lunch from here so much that we are considering going back for dinner.“

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

“Sorry, I didn’t take any photos but this was an exceptionally good lunch place.
Friendly service. Quality food and good portions.
Overall good vibe as the entire staff seemed like they genuinely enjoy the place they were working. From the hostess to the servers to the cooks, they all had smiles and good demeanor amongst each other. That is a great job by management creating that atmosphere and culture.“

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

“This place is phenomenal! This was our second time eating here and we have been so impressed both times! We normally would go downtown for special occasions, but there is no longer a need with this amazing place! Phenomenal food, stellar service and beautiful ambiance. This place is a hidden gem. We will return for EVERY special occasion!“
