I grew up in Painesville and rarely make my way back. But I ended up in Painesville today and stopped in for lunch. I ate THE best burger I’ve had in ages! The flavors were amazing. The fries were hot and crisp. I haven’t had such a great burger and fries from anywhere in a while. Kudos to the Sidewalk Cafe!

Great food. Cooked perfectly. Chocolate milk was perfect. Service didn't care too much because I was alone tho 😔 the atmosphere is great tho. Tons of cool decorations. Breakfast is excellent and cheap
Luke Jarvis
Great local diner

The staff was rude in unnecessarily denying the public use of the restroom. I didn't even give the food a chance.

I had their double cheese burger. It was larger than I expected and tasted great. Cant wait to try the omelette next.

The Sidewalk is truly a gem in downtown Painesville. This charming, old, and antique restaurant offers a nostalgic ambiance that transports you back in time. The traditional American food is absolutely delicious – every dish is crafted with care and bursts with flavor. The service was impeccable, and Mariah made sure our dining experience was top-notch, providing warm and attentive service. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommended!

Perfect breakfast place in downtown Painesville, when I come into town, my brother and I meet here for breakfast Menu has this à la cart items were most things are two dollars. I ordered a breakfast sandwich composed of whole wheat toast, sausages, two eggs over medium, and some cheese, made open faced. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had.
Good experience... food was tasty, servers were attentive. The fries looked seasoned but was kinda bland but the BLT and Gyro was good.

We have lived in Painesville for 2 years and we are just trying the Sidewalk Cafe. Nice little breakfast and lunch place open 6 A.M. to 3 PM. The M-F Breakfast special for $6 is delicious. The Wheat bread is whole grain and delicious. The home fries were real potatoes ? and the Scrambled eggs ?? were light and fluffy. They had Frank's and Heinz right on the table so no begging for condiments. Quick Service our total stop was about a half hour. Their $6 breakfast delicious and had. some Yum! ?

I ordered the big omelet breakfast. The omelet was good, but I got pancakes with NO butter or syrup. WHO DOES THAT????.... When you go into ANY restaurant they have butter, jelly, or ketchup and mustard on the table. If it's breakfast they will have syrup on the table.
