50 Best American Restaurants near Wickliffe

“I love eating at Gateway diner. It’s always a friendly experience. It feels like Home there. The staff is so kind that atmosphere is so warm. It’s got that true diner experience that you don’t often get anymore plus the pancakes slap.“

“I have been going to Joey’s since they originally opened as Flavors on the Avenue. They have great home style meal values and the service is excellent!“

“Very friendly staff, great food and chill atmosphere!! The fish platter is amazing and the steak is way better than I’d anticipated! Servers were very prompt and polite! Highly recommend!“

“My Fiancé Bennett and I were in the area for a wedding, and wanted to find places to sing at after. The bar tender, Tatiana was super fast at getting drinks and was really friendly. Everyone at Kate’s was welcoming and we enjoyed karaoke and the different varieties of singers. We want to visit the area again someday.“

“The owners, staff, food, and drinks are all so awesome!“

“We started coming when the Mentor store first opened we’ve been here every weekend sense. The people and food keep us coming back“

“I can't believe I haven't given them a review yet. I come here often and also order delivery too. Nice people, fast and consistent food. I've tried several things on the menu and all good. I recommend this place anytime anyone is looking for a simple, diner style experience nearby.“

“The atmosphere and food are amazing. Will definitely be back.“

“Great food, impeccable service and “chill” vibe! Casual fine dining at its best!“

“SMASH BURGER ✅ CHICKEN FINGERS ✅ STEVE’s TACO✅ FRIES ✅ Great food, cute patio for a quick bite! Tasty, informal dining and friendly service!“

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

“Fantastic Soba noodles (cold dish)! Great staff (Thank you, Shannon),very nice atmosphere. A wonderful night out with the Mrs. was made extra special. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Food is good, however in the past they along with other restaurants showed appreciation for Veterans by offering a complimentary meal to the Veteran(s) on Veterans Day. They don't do that anymore. Now its a complimentary ice cream desert and a gift card for an appetizer for your next visit. Don't come here Veterans... dont come here on Veterans Day. Go to Outback or Applebee's where you can actually feel appreciated the one day out of the year.“

“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.“

“Had an amazing dinner this Friday night. Lynn was fantastic. We have enough from each dinner for 2 or more meals. Heve not been there for a very long time. Excited to go back soon“

“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 veye much enjoy there food.“

“Had dinner last night at the bar. The bartenders were excellent as usual and the food was great. Thanks!“

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

“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 cook here is the best ever. Thank you Don. We appreciate you so much. Never had a bad meal with you cooking. Everyone should tip this cook.“

“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!“

“Haven’t been to JT’s Diner for about two years. Thought we’d give it a try as we remembered it being good at their previous location. We were very disappointed in our breakfasts. My crisp bacon was burnt to a crisp with burnt taste upon first bite. Our home fries used to be excellent “sliced” potato’s, but yesterday came as mush and the scrambled eggs were not even cut….just folded like an omelet. Coffee was good and hot, as in the past. For $20.53 I expected better. Don’t think I would return.“

“BELIEVE THE REVIEWS! It’s really good!

After looking at the top breakfast joints in the city I landed on this one! I was gonna ask two ladies entering the building before me if the food was good but I didn’t. I didn’t need to! The moment I hit the door I could smell the good cooking!

It’s kind of a hole in the wall with what looks like a store front, on a mini strip plaza. My server, Emily, gave me the run down on the menu and I chose her recommendation and it was as she described - in short, DELICIOUS!

The food came out QUICK and cooked very good.

Will definitely try this place again when I come back to Cleveland“

“I’ve been coming here for YEARSSS. The best mocha hands down.“

“Yours Truly is great! The food is always good! Ive never had anything that wasn't amazing. The service is always nice and friendly. Once seated, you do get served pretty quickly. There can sometimes be a wait but its worth it. Definitely a kid friendly place.“

“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 and MILKSHAKES!“

“My wife and I very much enjoyed every aspect of our evening at Austin's. Every interaction was pleasant and from the door to the table. Our server gave a wonderful description of unique options on the menu and was clearly very knowledgeable of everything Austin's had to offer. The wait time on our meals was extremely reasonable, and our cups never ran empty. The food was absolutely top quality and left us both wanting to try more on the menu. We both look forward to our next visit.“

“Pretty nice little Italian restaurant. Got the chicken parmigiana dinner to go with a canoli and it didn't disappoint. Came with a side salad and Italian dressing which was nice. The sauce is good spaghetti was good chicken and cheese was great. Lots of flavor and fresh. Decent portions. Canoli was tasty as well. I would recommend trying this place out it ain't too bad. Nice little outside area to eat as well. Glad I finally stopped by to try it out. I wasn't disappoint and I'll be back. 🙂“

“Great food and great shakes“

“Great environment. Good food. Amazing service“

“Great breakfast. You can even make a fresh made malt or shake with it!“

“Thank you so much to Greg & staff for a wonderful Celebration of Life Party for my Mother in law. Staff was friendly & fast & the food was wonderful! I would definitely recommend having a party again at The Stadium!“

“We work 2-3 days a week in Euclid Ohio area. We love the food and love the staff. Great place to eat. Highly recommend Mmuldoon’s“

“Fantastic atmosphere and food! you have to meet Leon, the nicest gentleman serving us at the bar. Highly Recommend Cedar Creek!!!!“

“Fantastic lunch with a great friend! couldn't decide between a couple items so the waitress suggested their Toofer - basically a soup and sandwich. I got the Seafood Bisque cup and a half Ruben sandwich. Both tasted great and waitress was spot on (there when we needed her and not there when we didn't need her). I'll definitely go back and try other menu options! RECOMMEND!“

“the Burek is amazing! I love the cheesecake they have.“

“Such an amazing restaurant! Craig, our bartender was so engaging and kept us laughing all afternoon! He also told us so many cool tidbits about the restaurant (e.g., the custom made chandelier in the background of my pic weighs 1,900 pounds and made out of metal nuts, ya know, like nuts and bolts, and is titled “The World is Nuts”). Now, let’s talk menu! The food is so delicious and the menu has so many options! The food is all freshly prepared, no frozen pre-packaged ANYTHING here! You can’t go wrong, especially at happy hour! LOL!!! Just go, already!!! You’ll thank me later!!!“
