Our guest raved about how much they loved the food. A lot of them said it’s some of the best wedding food they’ve had. We appreciate you Mike and the staff for making it possible for our big day. Thank you!!!“

“Really neat atmosphere! You have to walk around to take everything in (and be sure to look up). The food was all great & the kids flat bread pizza & grilled cheese were cooked perfectly (very important when you have picky kids). A hidden gem...literally, kinda hard to tell it's a restaurant from the road.“

“We had been given a gift card to The Rail, as there was a location near us in Akron. We decided to finally get around to use the gift card, because you know they just sit in those drawers forever, and discovered that the Akron location had closed. We didn't want to lose our money, so we made the trip to Strongsville so that we could use up our card. This location is in a strip mall near a large shopping mall. Plenty of parking, and the restaurant had lots of great seating options. The wait staff was very friendly, and attentive. We both got the smash burger special and it was delicious! Definitely recommend!“

“This was my first time visiting and my experience was quite pleasant. It is a weekday so there was no wait. The place is clean and you don't feel like your sharing your table with strangers. The food was good, nice sized portions with a fair price, and the service was on point. I will definitely go again“

“So happy that we finally went here!! We’ve been in the neighborhood for a bit now and just haven’t ventured out but we’re looking for a comfortable place and we certainly found it here. Good food, good service…we will be regulars for sure. I hate making dinner so I’m gonna be counting on you all!! You certainly didn’t let us down on our first visit! Looking forward to many more 😁 Andrea was a rock star server!!“

“We love core life! One of our favorite restaurants to stop in quick at and still get fresh healthy foods. They take allergies into consideration and have them all listed. The employees are extremely welcoming and friendly. We love being able to customize our own bowls and wraps. There’s something for everyone. We’ve taken multiple friends here and everyone has agreed it’s awesome!“

“HUGE thank you to Miranda and the staff at Slim & Chubby’s for having my family this past Saturday night!!

Highly recommend Slim & Chubby’s for large events or a casual night out!! Thank you for everything!!“

Keep it up!“

“Been patronizing Bucci's for years. Belong to the birthday club. Have had Easter and Thanksgiving dinners to go. All excellent. Celebrating Dave my husband's birthday today and greeted by Lisa S. our lovely server. Lisa was very attentive and gave us excellent service. The food was fantastic as usual. We both had lasagna, our favorite, with salads and the fantastic bread. The special tonight was chicken paprikash and we couldn't resist to order it to go for tomorrow night's meal. I had enough of my lasagna left for two more meals. Had tiramasu and chocolate cake for dessert. Since we ate late in the afternoon and Saturday night is our "pizza" night, we ordered a deluxe thin crust pizza to go also. Thank you, Lisa, for making our night so special. Sorry we didn't get to see Charles tonight, another one of our favorite servers. We definitely will be back soon. Carol and Dave T.\n\nShow less“

“As I walked in, it looked& felt like home town sit down food place from yrs ago.. It was very familiar & comfortable feel. Store was clean and appeared well maintained inside & out. Staff greeted us upon arrival w warm, friendly smiles. We came in to use token kids got from Culver's Ice cream mascot was handing out at Mccc Trunk/treat event..As small town I like to support local owned business that contribute & give back to our community.
There were 4-6 tables w groups of ppl that were dining in and enjoying the food. The vibe was good.. Ice cream cone was VERY GOOD ! My 10yo noticed a difference in this cone and other places she really like it..“

“We always wanted to check this place out and finally went there for our wedding anniversary. Very pleased with experience. The food was amazing, the chef and owner came to check on everything which was very delightful. Great seeing the entire family taking care of business. Two twin boys were hosting and doing outstanding job at the young age. Will plan on coming back! Only 3 stars for the service since we did not get our water glasses refilled the entire night, had to ask multiple times for that.“

“Our firm celebrating the end of Tax Season with the Foundry Social and had such an amazing time. Great food, great service and a great atmosphere!“

“Beautiful place for breakfast. We were served by Megan who made the entire experience for us. It was just my daughter and me this morning and she made sure to talk to her, gave her stickers and made sure our visit was well worth it. The food was delicious and got to us fast, my daughter didn't have time to get impatient. Definitely will be coming back again as long as Megan continues to serve.“

“I had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the interior design was excellent and the service was very fast and warm. This is a great place for families , dates and girls night out ! Very elegant yet laid back.“

“Wonderful service! I placed an online order and was not able to make the pickup time due to an appointment running much later than expected. I received a phone call and worked out a new pickup time, and Brittany said she would have my food remade and ready for my new pickup time. I did not expect that at all and was very pleasantly surprised by their kindness to make sure my meal was still fresh and delicious despite my late arrival!“

“Really only leaving a review to give credit to the amazing employee that worked the register tonight. He was extremely charismatic and had a great energy about him. I couldn’t find his name on the receipt but I called the store and they believe I was referring to Jacob. He had longer black/brown hair and worked on register 1. He told us to “come on down for some great food” and then delivered our Togo food by saying “got some delicious food for you”. I haven’t seen energy like that from a fast food worker in a long time. He definitely deserves a raise and I hope he is valued by management.“

“Fat Head’s Brewery was absolutely top tier. The service was fast friendly and on point from the moment we walked in. The food was fresh hot and full of flavor you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The atmosphere was perfect too great energy great crowd and just overall great vibes. If you want a place that delivers every time this is it. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and an even better experience.“

The food was excellent. Much appreciation for all you do for our Veterans Meg Patrick, VFW 9520 Auxiliary President“

“They so of the best hash browns in my opinion“

“A really nice neighborhood bar. It has the feel of a working man's bar. It's an atmosphere that I enjoy. The food I have tried is excellent with large portions. I had the best BLT of my life here. Usually I get the wings which far surpass Buffulo Wild Wings. The staff is friendly and very attentive. It is an out of the way place, but not far off the beaten path. I highly recommend.“

“Food is great, we found this on google, best find! Breakfast is reasonably priced, service is good.“

“Very good food, good service, coffee not strong enough.“

“I had such a blessed experience at Applebee’s today, and I truly believe God orders our steps—even to the table we’re seated at. My server, Tammie, went above and beyond to serve with kindness, patience, and a joyful heart. She not only made sure my food was perfect, but she also treated me and my family with such warmth that it felt like dining with a friend.

In a world where good service can be hard to find, Tammie is a reminder of Colossians 3:23—“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” Her attention to detail and genuine care reflected that scripture beautifully.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and served with love. But more than the meal, it was the atmosphere of kindness and grace that left me full in spirit as well as in body. Thank you, Tammie, for letting your light shine!“

“I had a server named Anna absolutely beyond excellent she always made sure our drinks were full and the food was beyond delicious I don't go out much but Anna was extremely sweet and we need more people like her it was my birthday and she made it wonderful“

“Great food and service, I have always gone here, now my son works as food prep, the owner treats him so well. Makes me even happier to be a patron. Tyler the bartender is super friendly and makes great cocktails!“
