50 Best American Restaurants near Valley View

“Reach out to us for your wine barrels“

“Food was mostly good but our server sat at the bar on a laptop most of the time. I had to go up to her and ask for drinks after waiting for refills. The amazing hostess Brenda brought our food out for us and made sure we got everything we needed. Let me say Brenda needs a raise and is the absolute most sweetest woman I have ever met! She was working as hostess, takeout, and bringing food out all while we watched multiple servers sit in the corner of the bar. I truly hope you know what a gem you have working at your place.“

“Absolutely love doing our celebrations at LockKeepers! We've celebrated our Birthdays and anniversaries here through the years and it was always such a wonderful experience each time! 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! 👍“

“Food was incredible! We were told it’s all made in-house, and were blown away by how delicious it was. Average pricing. A more conservative crowd may feel most comfortable, especially those who enjoy their draft beer and country music.

Parking: Gravel parking, so be prepared for that.

Wheelchair accessibility: Would not recommend for wheelchair users.“

“Clean. Friendly. Letter from owner on wall said it well. They appreciate our business: nothing less than great product, happy service and clean environment is acceptable

Vegetarian options: More would be better. Would visit more often if more unique options.“

“Visiting from Maryland, and read good reviews about Danspot. Glad we came. Dinner was fantastic. I had the Shrimp Piccatta, and my wife had Pipette pesto pasta with chicken. Both were outstanding. And our server Jake, was wonderful. Friendly and attentive. If you're in the area of the MGM Northfield, be sure to stop at Danspot. You will be glad you did.“

“I’ve been hearing about this restaurant for years and finally went today. Wow. Had the burrrito and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a restaurant in a very long time. Can’t wait to go back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We went last night for our anniversary... Kenya was our server... 5 stars Kenya! the food was to die for! The service made you feel at home having dinner with family! Ian Baggs was hilarious, as usual! I forgot the name of the opening comedian, but he was hilarious as well! I'm so happy I found this place, and it will be our regular date night spot!“

“Great customer satisfaction! Great food“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. We ordered some Pantry snacks (a must do), Walleye, Fried Chicken, and Butterscotch Pudding. Every bite was perfect. We were heartbroken losing both Lola and Greenhouse Tavern due to Covid, (and we still are) but Cordelia is the kind of restaurant that can make East 4th a go-to dining spot for us again.“

“Grumpy’s Café in Cleveland has a cozy, artsy charm and a menu filled with hearty American comfort food, but the experience can be uneven. Portions are generous and flavors enjoyable, yet dishes sometimes arrive lukewarm or lack consistency. Service is friendly but can be slow, especially during peak brunch hours when waits feel longer than expected. While it’s a neighborhood favorite with character, it doesn’t always deliver on reliability, earning a fair 4 out of 5 stars“

“I went here twice in the three days I was visiting. Everything was great. The place has an old fashioned diner vibe. 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!“

“I love there gyros and the Jo Jo fries…great place!!!“

“The food and service were great and can’t be being on the water!“

“I got my food to go after I’d had a cocktail. The swinging benches across the street are a perfect place to sit and eat your divine tastes of FAT CAT’s … I had the salmon burger and Brussels sprouts and a Purple haze cocktail at the bar. The sandwich was literally perfect! The avocado was the perfect touch! Always a treat! Tastes and Travels gives FAT CATS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Karen is a hoot! We had an amazing dinner and even better service. 10/10 recommend!“

“Beautiful view overlooking Chippewa Creek, friendly and efficient servers and staff, extensive menu and reasonable prices, lovely ambience and decor.“

“Excellent experience with the chef’s tasting tonight. It’s a lot of food! Shoutout to Johnathan who gave flawless service and wine pairings!“

“My daughter came to Cleveland for a girls day and stopped at the cafe for lunch. I got the wild mushroom melt sandwich..absolutely amazing! Don’t change a thing about it! It is fantastic!! Definitely worth the 90 min drive!! Good job!!!“

“The courtyard has been a staple in the lives of Brecksville residents for YEARSSSS“

“My daughter, granddaughters, & I just ate at this restaurant and seriously it had the absolute best breakfast and the service was amazing!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and service! Highly recommend the Killit Skillet!“

“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!!!“

“I recommend for any first timers that are stopping in to order the first dish that pops off the menu, there is no wrong choice. Same goes for the cocktail menu, they’ve got something for everyone. They’ve got two patio’s, a flower shop, and the staff makes you feel like you’ve been stopping in from day one. So, CHECK IT OUT!“

“Working with Sausalito on Ninth was an absolute pleasure as a wedding planner. From crafting a personalized menu to flawlessly executing the catering logistics, they showcased professionalism and creativity. The seamless collaboration between our teams enhanced the overall wedding experience for previous couples and their guests. I highly recommend Sausalito on Ninth to any future clients looking for a catering partner that goes above and beyond to create memorable moments. I look forward to working future events with them.“

“Everything was incredible!! Starting with our wonderful server Hallie, all the way to the chef who prepared something for our daughter that wasn’t even on the menu! The food was delicious, every course. We can’t wait to go back!“

“This was my first visit here. Ihave a huge serving of weiner Schnitzel with potato dumplings. Beyond excellent!! Salad was very fresh and nice. Staff was as attentive as you could ask for. My picky grandkids ate everything! So did the vegetarians among us. One caveat. Thecrestayrant us not handicapped accessible. We could wheel a chair in through the kitchen to get in but bathrooms were too small for even a walker, no rails beside the toilets. Don't even try the bathrooms--you could get hurt. Suggest railings be added to the walls outside the cubicles and inside them so someone with a cane could manage with no walker. A cheap fix--railings. Loved the place!“

“been going there for years everything great good customer service child friendly“

“Excellent food!“

“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.“

“Great local bar to watch football“

“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“

“Ordered the seafood Philly for lunch. It was delicious!! The cashier...which i think its the owner...was very polite and professional. The only thing is the fries were made my cholesterol rise up. Not their fault..I should've asked for a sprinkle of salt. This may be my next lunch spot. Thanks guys...keep up the good work“

“Best food and service around!“

“Delicious Caesar salad! The anchovies were a very nice touch!“

“I talked my husband into going. We went on Friday evening, we sat at the bar, service was great. As we sat there I heard a saxophone with my back to the band. I asked my husband is that a sax I hear. He said yes. The band was good. My husband said "this is going to be my new go to place". Nice crowd.“

“Great food!!! Great hospitality!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!

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

“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!“

“This hands down has been the best dining experience I've had in a good while! From walking in and being greeted with a smile to the service and made from scratch dishes! Don't judge just because it sits next to a convienet store, this place is a gem! Walking in, the decor is modern and they had good music playing with a bar lined with TV's showing football and there was lots of chatter giving you a vibrant environment! Even the ladies bathroom was nice and clean!

To start, we ordered their catfish nuggets and their homemade dipping sauce and they were both cooked and seasoned to perfection 👌🏽!! Even my 3yr old who doesn't eat fish devoured them thinking they were chicken nuggets because there was no fishy taste to them! Lol, when asked if they got 1 thumbs up or 2, he simply showed me 👍🏽 👍🏽 up with a smile!

Onto dinner, we ordered the smothered pork chops with mashed potatoes and mac n cheese and it was delicious! The 2nd dinner was the orange roughy with mac n cheese and candied yams. The fish was flaky and again, cooked to perfection! The mac n cheese was creamy and cheesy, just the way it should be! To wash it all down I ordered a Blueberry infused Lemon Drop Slushie that was so tasty and they didn't shy on the liquor!

To finish out the meal, I ordered a slice of their pecan topped sweet potato pie to go and let's just say it didn't make it home! While it was still warm I took one bite that led to finishing the whole thing!!

I can't wait to go back and would highly and happily recommend Fredrick's!“
