Food was freshly made and no matter how busy they were, and they were definitely busy, the food came out so fast! The food was very good for breakfast. I recommend the pancakes and western omelette! Not cash only anymore!“

“We bombarded the Solon location with a large party ( more than 10) and when I tell you everything from the initial greeting until we bid farewell was AMAZING!!! The food was PHENOMENAL and our server Ty… HE DID THAT! The staff prepared each meal perfectly and not one of us had any complaints!! Thank you all for being so accommodating! And Mr. King ( the manager) he was totally hands on as well as I think her name was Renee another manager . We will so be back!!!“

Jackie was the best server! She really took good care of us and made sure we were happy during and after our meals. She's absolutely the best server one can ever hope for! We always had a very good gastronomic experience here at LockKeepers! Definitely coming back soon to celebrate more milestones! Thank you! Keep up the great work that you do! 👍“

“The food was delicious. The special tomahawk was well made and sliced tableside, and the sides were absolutely delicious. I particularly loved the carpaccio and the watermelon salad, as well as the green beans and twice-baked potato. And the peach old-fashioned was well-made and served promptly. Dining with my parents there is a bit of extra stress, but our server Heather was super knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive.“

“Marie's has excellent Eastern European cuisine. My friend had the beef goulash, and I had the breaded pork chops. Both tasty and made to perfection. Just like my grandmother's cooking. Yum.

Service was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive.

Don't expect a modern-day atmosphere. Modern-day atmosphere would not be appropriate for old world cuisine.“

“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.“

“Great people!!! Pastrami reuben is AMAZING“

“The food was really good, the two gentleman that served us was awesome! I I just didn’t like that. They seated me in the bar area and it was my fiancé’s birthday and I also made reservations. We didn’t get the candle light or the heated patio, the romantic things so I was, unhappy about that.“

“Delicious Food as well as one of the best owners I’ve ever met. Drink selection is great and there’s plenty of unique delicious food that you can’t really find that casual of a setting.“

“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“

“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.“

“Caesar Salad with Fire Cracker Shrimp was delicious!!!“

“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!!!“

“We have been coming to Hot Grillz Diner since we saw it on New Day Cleveland (way before the pandemic). Karen and crew are awesome and the food is fabulous. No matter what you decide to order I promise that you won't be disappointed. We have brought friends here who are now regular customers. Come in once and you will be back!“

“A-MA-ZING 🤩🤩so many sleeping on this Cleveland gem 💎 literal artisans whipping up THE BEST wings, fries, shrimp. Hell! Even their baked potato is bomb! Moved to CLE from the dirty south and had the hardest time finding good food up here. Then I found Calypso's. They got the flavor, the spices, aaaaaaallll the sauce, and the sweetest employees. How such a small joint can be pushing out so much goodness is a wonder to me, and I loooove it!!!“

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

“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!“

“Edit:NVM, they tried to reinvent the wheel...
Now the food is atrocious and costs more than it should.

This place isn't reinventing the wheel but sometimes you just want a place where you know the food is consistent and tastes the same every time you order it.“

“This is the best bar ever“

“The healthy options allows this #vegan to enjoy Grillfather Pizza & wings and now they've added some of my favorite juices. Yezzzz!!!“

“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.“

“City Barbecue prepared the food for our first annual Gary Burr Memorial Fund on August 12,2023. Everyone commented on how good the food tasted. Devon was great to work with and delivered on everything she promised. I would not hesitate to use them again.“

“Food was unbelievable! Every plate going by was mouthwatering. The T-Bone and vodka rigatoni… ALL DAY! Shrimp cocktail. YES PLEASE!!! I ate passed my capacity and don’t regret it!“

“Wonderful food and service. Our server Sarah was great! We’ve been coming to Heck’s now for 46 years and it doesn’t disappoint.“

“I wish I would have taken a picture, but I ate it all before even thinking. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Fried chicken wings with a homemade Belgian waffle! Lordy you gonna slap your momma. It was hot and crispy and juicy! And the waffle was crunchy yet pillowy! Butter and a little syrup and thats all you need to get your day started. Some grits on the side with some cheese. Lord please, that was delicious. I think that was the first time I have had good grits. I thought they were a tooth some. Yet still soft and creamy.“
