Not really sure what happened to this place. My husband and I started going here early in the mornings about 8 months ago. Usually always had the same waitress (think her name is Sam) and she was always FANTASTIC! Food was always good. But the last two time we have been there it's like a whole different diner. We went a little later than usual and the vibe in the place seemed so off. About a month and a half ago we went in for a late breakfast. I don't remember exactly what my husband ordered but it came out wrong. The waitress (not the usual one we had in the past) even noticed it wasn't right. She then told us that the cook was in a bad mood and she didn't want to make it worse. Thought that was really odd and not really a great way to deal with customers, but we let it go. Just chalked it up to an off day and maybe an inexperienced waitress. Like I said, prior to this we had had nothing but outstanding service and food. We went to eat breakfast about 2 weeks ago and had the worst experience we've had. My husband's food was fine. I ordered the fajita omelet or fajita scramble. Waitress asked how I wanted my steak and I said medium. When it was brought out the waitress vanished before I could look at it and the steak was WAY over cooked. It wasn't even edible it was that over cooked. Waitress was nowhere to be found so I couldn't even let her know. I pick off all the steak and eat my potatoes, eggs and toast. I then over heard a customer complaining that his steak isn't cooked the way he asked as well and when someone came over to try and "fix" the issue the waitress starts to say "well medium rare here means....." And at that point I knew that even if I could find my own waitress to ask her to rectify the situation it wouldn't be rectified because apparently at this place they cook steaks differently than the rest of the world. Then I notice there is dried food all over one side of my water glass. Few minutes later a different waitress sees we must be done and asks if I'd like a to go container. I said no and she asks if I'm sure because there's still a lot of food left on my plate. I say "no thank you I'd just like the check so we can leave" and she asks if there was a problem. I say to her "the steak is not cooked how I asked and it's not good so I'd just like the check so we can pay." She then calls over, what I'm assuming is the lead waitress, and tells her what I just got done explaining. This waitress then asks me if I let my waitress know so she could try to fix the issue. I tell her I'd just really like my check. Even if I had been able to locate our original waitress I still wouldn't have said anything again knowing the cook cooks his steaks however he feels and from the previous experience of knowing that if the cook is in a bad mood the wait staff apparently doesn't like to confront him about poorly cooked food. In general I won't send food back because I don't trust there won't be some sort of gross retaliation. I just assume pay for the meal and not go back.And that was just the food and service part. At one point a waitress was arguring with another customer (same guy who had a steak not cooked right) about something and the argument got loud enough that everyone in the diner could hear it. I'm assuming this guy is a regular since he seemed to be chatty with the whole wait staff like hes known them for a while. I have nothing against that. I do have an issue with an argument being so loud it interferes with other diners experiences. When I go out to eat I don't want to listen to people arguring.Hopefully this place gets back to good service and good food. Sadly, I won't be back and I need to find a new breakfast spot ☹️

This place is a gem! Fantastic food that won't empty your bank account. The best part is, even when you order to go, the food is still equally as delicious as eating in! You can't go wrong and I've turned so many people onto this place since I've fell in love with it. Although I may get f.a.t.s from it.. lol.

Pretty good little breakfast spot. I'd probably give it 5 stars, but both times I've been there, I've gotten wet tables with crumbs all over them. I like food, but not other people's food. The service has been fantastic! The food has been really good as well.
The service is great here! Very welcoming. I haven't eaten lunch there yet, however everything I've tried so far during breakfast has been really good. Loved the chorizo biscuits and gravy! Probably the best place to get breakfast in Painesville/Mentor
