“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 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.“

“Nice small bar/restaurant with amazing burgers it was my 1st time there and I felt at home immediately my bartender was Sara/Sarah and she's absolutely amazing if im ever back in that area thats definitely the place I'm going to go.“

“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!“

“🌯 🤤 🌯 😃 🌯 The breakfast burrito is top notch. I can finish a chipotle burrito no problem and I only ate half of this one. It’s the real deal.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great experience!

Good food and service delivered by the staff at Grumpy’s, especially Maria! She’s got a great sense of humour and good banter! Very knowledgeable about the menu and allergens. The menu is clearly marked for GF items.

The menu does have a warning about gluten free and the risk for cross-contact for wheat, dairy, and meat. No GF surcharge, but there is a surcharge for vegan options.

I had the gluten free pancakes, and family I was with enjoyed all their meals. Good coffee.

Love how the place is decorated so cheerful and local artists works for sale.

Maria (and my dad) gave permission for photos with her - she requested they appear on the Grumpy’s FB page.“

“I've been going here for years, since before I was in high school (I'm in my early 40's). The service is always good, food is good. Prices are great, especially compared to other breakfast places. I was initially worried when I heard that Marc Glassman bought it but so far it's been steady.“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best food and service around!“

“This is one of my new favorites in the Cleveland Area of the only place I visited in a long time that gives you 2 Nice Sized Pieces of Catfish, 4 hush puppies, Coleslaw and FRESH CUT edible FRIES all for one price. I have been here 5 times and they have am Amazing Chicken Philly Sandwich these both items are seasoned to perfection and not to salty like most places you can barely tolerate the heavy seasonings from something who has to watch their salt intake. Jumbo Chicken Rolls are a most have my family love those as well! Most places I have to toss my food. Customer Service is always friendly and patient staff is always with a good attitude fast service and clean location. Compliments to the chef staff and the great owner!!! Glad this business exists.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“I purchase a Salmon bowel over rice ,and a burger for later long day office.OMG my taste buds were watering it was well seasoned not salty at all each bit was as satisfying as the last.Well done ,well price and my stars are well deserved...👍“

“Easy 5 stars all they way around at Heritage! Went last weekend and had the BEST Wagyu ( local from Southington, OH). Our server, Lilly, was very knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating and helpful. The food and drink speaks for itself; this is a must try and in the top echelon of CLE fine dining.“

“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.“

“Excellent food!“

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.“
