American Restaurants near Richmond Heights

“For my wife and I the atmosphere was what we were looking for in a quick dine out without the hassle of the kids. The food to say the least was amazing! We both had the Chicken Alfredo and some drinks, this place was the perfect place to have them both. They have a tasty spin on it, seems like a creole style Alfredo without the super spicy touch added, just enough for us non-spicy lovers to enjoy. There was a waiter I believe her name was Catherine, she was older, I can’t remember exactly if that was her name but her customer service wowed both I and my wife. She kept us smiling during an unexpected wait and made us just feel comfortable. The drinks we had were both tasty and buzzing. HANDS DOWN If you want to have some of the BEST Chicken Alfredo in the city this is one of the place to go/order delivery!Parking: At night parking is a little harder to find. Wear boots for the snow.“

“17 River Grille continues to deliver great food and EXCEPTIONAL service. Probably been there 6-8 visits and service is excellent each time. You obviously have great training to deliver this time and time again. Marcy was beyond outstanding last night. My business associates were blown away with complete experience. Great job!!“

“Jam-packed on a Saturday evening but food, atmosphere, and especially service was on point. Erica took great care of us, her recommendations and suggestions were perfect. Some dishes the group loved were the cheddar biscuits (of course), whipped feta, blackened shrimp capellini, and butternut squash carbonara.“

“Went for a birthday dinner and I am happy she chose this place. This place was so good. A 5-star experience that I did not expect. Because of the location you would think it was just an average restaurant but this place is offering a fine dining experience. I loved my cocktail it was perfectly made. I ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer they weren't bad but they weren't great either. My entree was as seafood pasta. It was a little pricy but for the portion size and quality it was definitely worth it.i I will definitely go there again.“

“Pancakes the size of my head with fresh blueberries, and the staff seem to be close and know their customers. A little hectic on a Saturday morning with a ton of pickup orders but plenty of seating. Also a lot of really cool artwork on the walls.“

“Kailey was a breath of fresh air in the after math of 1 of the worst two (2) week periods my significant other have every had. With that, we decided & prayed to have a good evening wherever we go. God led us to Smokey Bones & it’s clear the reason was because we needed her + her energy! She accepted us with open arms, a warm personal, and a sense of connection to us that we never experienced with a server as a couple. All the stresses & worriers of the world went away during our time with Kailey! Thank God for her & the fact that your organization hired her. Please share the we will be forever grateful our time with & the opportunity for our fresh start to be reignited from her being simply awesome. We will be back to visit her & the rest of your wonderful team at the Mentor Smokey Bones!“

“Had a large team dinner (13) and it was great! Service was amazing, very friendly and excellent. They worked with a religious dietary restriction in our party to ensure they knew what the restrictions were and clearly explained which options were good for that diner and when the shared apps were brought advised again which one did not meet the requirement. Cocktails were beautifully presented and very tasty. The food was also beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Also, all 13 main dinner plates were delivered within moments of each other. Our server was very attentive and checked frequently to ensure all were satisfied. The rack of lamb I had was cooked perfectly and absolutely tender and delicious. Others had the steak and trout and salmon and everyone said theirs was great. We all got desserts and those were killer too. Great flavor combinations prepared beautifully. Top notch all around!“

“We had been looking forward to going here for a few weeks, and it did not disappoint.Our simple breadboard and green herb mix salad appetizers were great.Our main meal of sandwiches and salads were also very good, but the best part of the meal was the Red Velvet Cake, which was to DIE FOR.In short, we would definitely come back.“

“Best breakfast or lunch in an always busy diner environment! The staff actually cares about your experience and makes it fun. Now they take credit cards as well, so go get in line and enjoy the whole "Eat at Joe's" experience“

“I was pleasantly surprised by the Northstar cafe. Stopped in for a quick bite to eat before Sunday mass. The food came out quick and was delicious. Was a bit sad that they didn’t have a wider latte selection, but the atmosphere and food made up for it. There’s a coffee shop close by at Van Aken Market.“

“Cool place to have some food and drinks. Atmosphere inside is nice and chill, servers were pleasant. Food was DELICIOUS --- I highly recommend the brussel sprouts and crispy potatoes. The cocktails were very good. The food and drinks are a bit overpriced but I expect it in Pinecrest. Would have given 5 stars but when asked if we wanted water when first arrived they brought out an artesian bottled water and didn't give offer us "free" water. They charged us $8 for the water we didn't have a choice in. When they came around during the meal they refilled with thankfully free water. Be aware that you may need to specify you want normal water like most other places would serve you. Kind of sus.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options, mostly in the salads or vegetables. Make sure to ask the server as some options that seem vegetarian are cooked with animal fat/broth.Parking: Large lot and street parking, but a very busy area so may need to circle a few times.“

“Have been coming to Tommy's for decades and never been disappointed. The food is always delicious and exactly the way I remember. The place has a great vibe with excellent service, plants everywhere and funky mellow oldies playing. Love Tommy's! Please don't ever change a thing!“

“It’s always a fun time at The Fairmount! Food and drinks are delicious. I would recommend if you’re coming with a group to call ahead and make a reservation as the place is pretty much always packed in the evenings.We’ve done multiple times and they have both indoor and outdoor dining. The patio is very nice and dog friendly.“

“Fantastic place. Was there Thurs afternoon, ran into 3 people I knew, & I hadn't seen each one of them in > 30 years!! Great looking menu, great service, clean, & just an all-around enjoyable place to go. One of the best nights I've had in years. I hope they stay open for a LONG time. Happy Holidays to all the Borgata Bar crew, & to their customers!!!“

“My party met here on a warm day in mid April to have dinner. The atmosphere in the restaurant was inviting and airy. They front windows/doos were open to allow the fresh air to circulate which was very nice. I noticed a fur baby on the floor near the front window who was very well behaved. Our server Jordan was immediately at our table with water and the menus. She was very attentive throughout our dining experience. Our meals came very quickly and hot! Everything was delicious! We could not finish the pasta and took a lot of it home in a container. We also ordered a chicken tender app to go! Excellent atmosphere, food and service. I highly recommend!“

“Trader Jacks is a quaint little place in Eastlake. They have great fried perch, delicious freshly made potato skins, and the cocktails are on point. It sits off of lakeshore in the cut, and they have beautiful patios as well. Today, we sat at the bar because everyone was out trying to enjoy this beautiful day, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Our service at the bar might've been the best service we've had thanks to Brad. Brad was professional with very solid suggestions. We watched Brad single handled make cocktail order after cocktail order while also giving us and the other bar patrons excellent service. Brad is definitely an asset.“

“We had a very delicious breakfast here! I had the bacon egg and cheese sandwich, which is one of the best I've ever had. The service was also very friendly. My only complaint was that there was a pretty long wait for the food, though it was worth it!“

“Nice place with good atmosphere. We've eaten there multiple times and we once had a small event there. They were kind enough to reserve an area for our event. The food is good and the service is good. I just wish they they still included their house pickles with every meal, but they will still include some if you ask.“

“Visited for first time Sunday afternoon. Wow. So happy we came here. Food was incredible. Fresh, beautiful. You can tell the chef loves his restaurant. The staff was welcoming and genuinely happy to serve you !The atmosphere was calm and friendly. I just loved it and can’t wait to go back . And omg the donut holes !! Are you kidding me?“

“Very good food, locally owned. Owned. Not a chain. Pleasant atmosphere. In a quaint downtown area.Parking: There's some on street parking but most of the parking is behind the shopping center and also across the street of the behind the shopping center lot“

“I am not usually inclined to leave reviews but felt the need to today. I have yet to have better service in the area and the amount of food we got for the price was incredible. The moment we sat down there were already two waiters getting us coffee and water. Our food was also out in 10 minutes and was incredible. I can't recommend breakfast here enough.“

“Went for my birthday lunch, the food is always solid. I enjoyed the French Onion soup and the chopped salad. My mom got the salmon and she remarked on how great the salmon was, we can see why it's a top seller. The broccoli was very well seasoned and the Heavenly Biscuits never disappoint. All of the staff was very friendly and they gave me a surprise ice cream sundae for my birthday. It was a great experience, we'll be back!“

“The specials all sounded really good. I got a pineapple margarita, fried onion with fried breaded green beans in a citrus soy glaze, general tso breaded chicken sandwich and onion rings with a killer horseradish dipping sauce. Everything was great. Service was busy and working on closing the kitchen so they were a little distracted but still very friendly. Definitely recommend trying this place.“

“we will return. Brunch was good except for overseasoning. In the future, we will order without seasoning and add to the meal ourselves. The waitress said in the five years that she has been working here, not one person has complained. But, the steak was totally covered with a salt and pepper mixture.“

“The Wild Goose serves up the usual pub grub, but it also happens to be exceptionally good pub grub! The draft beer list was quite respectable and featured a good balance of local and regional craft beers mixed with the usual macrobrew suspects. As for the food, the loaded goose fries were a surprisingly smashable and satisfying mess of starchy potatoes, gooey cheese, tangy aioli, smoky bacon… and a sprinkling of tomatoes to make the whole thing healthy. The pizza was, unbelievably, even more of a flavor explosion, featuring rich (but not greasy) sauces and cheeses layered atop a thin and crispy crust. (The char from the on-site pizza oven really shone through in a positive way!) The staff, meanwhile, were all very attentive and friendly. My only complaint was that the sports bar vibes didn’t do anything for me, but by the end of the meal I was in too much of a food coma to really care about my surroundings.“

“Rated 4 stars because we had called for a large party reservation and then were told in arrival they did not take reservations which was delivered with attitude and rudeness from the gentleman at the host stand. Never had this problem before but he was sooo rude. If you have a large party go somewhere else.“

“We liked the pizza we ended up with but I had to drive back twice for it. I ordered a margherita pizza (tomatoes, basil, mozzarella) for pick up and they put a garlic white sauce on it. Why would they do that? I can't eat garlic, which is why I order a margherita pizza. If they are going to add garlic sauce to a basic pizza, which by definition that I've found has no garlic sauce, they should inform customers in advance. That said, the pizza we finally got, after driving back twice, was good. Not sure I will return however. Lots of good pizza places that know how to make a margherita pizza.“

“We recently visited Peties after a hiatus (I moved out of the area 9 years ago). The food was still as delicious as ever! A great brunch with a waffle covered in strawberries, home fries, and coffee. Service was attentive and food was delivered quickly. The decor was updated but the layout was still the same. TVs playing TBS which had episodes of Seinfeld and also listed as a Pokestop (for any Pokémon Go players). The restaurant is consistently busy but never seems crowded. Definitely recommend for those in and around the area.“

“Frank and Amy (or Emily I honestly forgot her name) took in our group of 10 today in a great, professional manner. The wings I got were AWESOME! My group was visiting from out of state and we came bc they were close to the church we attended. I would love to come back if I ever come back to OH.“

“Thomas, our server, was wonderful. Great recommendations and attention to our table. There was a lobster tail special with risotto that 2 in our party ordered. The other 2 ordered the filet mignon. We were able to make our own surf and turfs. Everything was delicious.“

“Would give more stars if I could. We drove out to OH for the solar eclipse and found Landmark Restaurant by chance. It was like finding a winning lottery ticket. The service was incredible, friendly, and timely. The food was more than appetizing, fairly priced, and prompt. The restaurant itself was clean and organized, the staff was working and vibing together like a well-oiled machine, and there was fun to be had in every experience. We have some family in the area so needless to say WE WILL BE BACK each time we are in town.“

“Went here with my girlfriend. Have been here several times before. An issue we had this time that never was an issue before is that the gravy that came with the biscuits and gravy breakfast was runny instead of being thick. It did not look very appetizing. The Works is my go to and usually comes out well. The pomegranate brunch drink is amazing! Would definitely recommend.“

“Italian food at its best! Long surviving family owned restaurant with generous portions of tasty well prepared offerings. Any chicken dish is superb…piccata, Marsala, parmigiana, genovese…ummm. Outstanding thin crusted gluten free pizza made spectacular with mozzarella cheese (mushroom & sausage added). Incredible steak salad. Wonderful Merlot house wine. Tasty bread rolls. Fabulous Italian wedding soup. Wonderful servers and staff. And earn reward points to apply to a future meal. And the take-out Family Packs are a fantastic price with an abundance of food. We love this place, truly love it!“

“It's a cozy diner with a great vibe and nice folks! Soup & half sandwich lunch was delicious. While it may be a little cramped everyone managed it very well. My server was Lori and she made my first time experience all the better. Glad that I checked Yelp to find a nearby lunch spot!“

“Phenomenal fish fry...and don't need to experience it just during Lent! The grouper sandwich and batter dipped filet is available all the time. And with tater tots and slaw, it doesn't get much better! Hoppin' busy Friday night.“

“I discovered Rudy's Pub to be a charming establishment with its own unique character, and I can't wait to visit again. The food my son and I ordered was excellent, and the service was top-notch. I especially enjoyed the karaoke session , who made me feel right at home. If you're seeking a night out filled with fun and surrounded by good-hearted people, Rudy's Pub is the place to be! I'll definitely be returning.“

“Oh my goodness! What a very pleasant surprise this restaurant was! Visiting from out of town, we asked for recommendations and the shuttle driver immediately suggested here. The service was excellent and the food beyond fantastic! You are missing out if you don’t try their Egyptian food menu!!“

“If you're looking for the cozy, coffee shop of bars, this is your place. The drinks are fantastic, AND the atmosphere is the real jewel here. This place feels like home away from home. Offering a warm, inviting space for conversation or reflection year-round and a cute, little patio great for enjoying another's company or doing a little people watching in the warmer months, The Whiskey Bar does not disappoint. Oh, and you'll often be pleasantly surprised by some live music or snacks that will only brighten an already wonderful time!“

“Our first time and it was wonderful! We stopped with our kiddos for a late lunch after some Sunday skyzone fun. It was also during football playoffs and we had never been so we weren't sure what to expect! ALL the servers were so friendly, everyone worked as a team to deliver a fantastic experience and great food! When we left our server told our kids to have a great week at school. I just thought that was so sweet. I can safely recommend this place for family fun as well as a great spot to belly up and watch Sunday football! A healthy blend! We'll definitely be going back and highly recommend!“

“When I went it was very busy and there was somewhat of a wait at the door. The staff handled the busyness well and the food was good. Nothing outstanding however the staff was pressured by how busy it was. But it seems they held up to the pressure.“

“We had not enjoyed an actual Big Boy burger since we were kids in Mayfield, and the restaurant in Valley View did not disappoint! The service was friendly and efficient and the food was delicious! It took us back! The room had a nice hum about it and the table, menus (!) and restrooms were all clean, as well. Kudos to the crew working Saturday night! We will be back!“

“Ordered the “big guy”. They are known for 4th best burger in town. Well…. I’m thinking how, the 1/3 patty was not seasoned, special sauce was not as tangy and left the burger pretty plain.Thumbs up on the fresh cut fries, add malt vinegar and they pop with flavor. Would recommend as they are a dive in bar and have a great selection of spirits.“

“Frequent visitorShowed up for my reservation with the family for a birthday dinner. Table was ready within 5 minutes. Food and service was amazing and you notch as always. Only reason for the 4 star atmosphere is because of the table was in the bar area. Which was understandably a bit more boisterous than the other areas of the resteraunt. Next time I will request a table in one of the other areas is all.As always top notch work by all staff from entering to leaving the resteraunt. Until next time.“

“Awesome. Servers ran around like chickens with their heads removed. They were friendly and delivered crab after crab. This is the real deal, the crab was fresh not over cooked and delicious, the redskin potatoes were the bomb. I can't wait to go back and feel guilty telling others about this secret¡“

“The best pizza in this area!! We tried many pizzas in different restaurants but my boyfriend and I agreed that Abo's pizza was the best. Their crust/dough was so good and had an excellent flavor. It was relatively thin but could hold the toppings. We had one of their specialty pizzas, Mediterranean, together with a Caesar salad. Large pizza was more than enough to share for two people. Service was good, prices were reasonable but we thought $10 for a piece of cheese cake was a bit steep. Anyways, we will go back there for sure.Update:We went back & ordered Calamari, Margarita Pizza (BEST) , Linguine with Calamari, & Gnocchi. Ordering a bottle of wine for three of us worked perfectly ?“

“We were treated to dinner at Lee’s. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We were greeted upon entering the restaurant. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the foods and drinks menu. She was able to make drink suggestions based on individual taste preferences. Wait time to receive our food was sufficient. The four star is only because the seasons hadn’t penetrated throughout the food I ordered. The season was very delicious. I had bowl that included shrimp, rice & broccoli with a garlic based season. Other items order were a shrimp basket, a sea Foid boil, fried fish and sweet potato fries and drinks. Leechee me alone and a voo doo hurricane. I didn’t personally order a but I was told these drinks were good.“

“Definitely a fun place to watch sports with a lot of TVs! Consistent food with many choices. Overstuffed sandwiches have been my favorite since the 90's! Great outdoor patio! Only reason I didn't give a 5 star, is the newer staff could be a little more friendly! Old staff they had for several years was the best! Unfortunately Covid caused that with most of the food establishments. Still a great place to frequent!“

“Having a tip automatically added to the bill of two people is off-putting. For the record, I'm a good Tipper. I did actually add to the 15% automatically added because our server was awesome. But tipping is an addition, not part of the bill. Heck, add it to the cost of the food and I'll pay it. but not in tipping. that's my choice.“

“Stong enough for a meat eater. PH balanced for a vegetarian. Everything is great here from the seating, drinks, food, and staff. This is a shining example of balance between pro and anti meat eaters should expect.Vegetarian options: Great options. Don't hesitate to go here.“
