“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 veye much enjoy there food.“

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

“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.“

“This place is phenomenal! This was our second time eating here and we have been so impressed both times! We normally would go downtown for special occasions, but there is no longer a need with this amazing place! Phenomenal food, stellar service and beautiful ambiance. This place is a hidden gem. We will return for EVERY special occasion!“

“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“

“Excellent food!“

“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“

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.“

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!“

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

“Went to Austin’s last night around 7:30pm for the first time! Had Sophie as our server. Not only was she the sweetest server ever, but she recommended some delicious sounding meals and cocktails! Her service was SUPERB! She got to our table quickly and had our drinks to us in no time at all!

The food!! WOW! My whole party was happy with their meals. I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs, with a baked potato that was MASSIVE, the ribs were PHENOMENAL (glad to have leftovers!), garlic basil broccoli was soo good!

From what my other party members said, their fish tacos were delightful, and the pork chops were utterly DIVINE! Their words, not mine!

The cornbread was really good! And reasonably priced too!

And then the bathrooms!!! They were absolutely SPOTLESS, just like the rest of the restaurant was when I was there!

Speaking of the bathrooms…Which I do have to say, they are tastefully decorated, but I do have to commend you for not using cheap toilet paper like most restaurants do!

Our whole bill came to like $88.00 and for food and service that good, I’d gladly pay it!

Thanks for the amazing dining experience, Austin’s! ❤“

“Great food and great shakes“

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

“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. 🙂“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!!!“

“This is the best bar ever“

“My husband and I stopped into Stevenson's bar this afternoon to check out their Christmas theme. All I can say is, wow! not only did the place look great but, the service was awesome and the food was really good. Karen, the women working the bar was an absolute sweetheart. She was very warm and welcoming. Karen whipped us up some really tasty holiday drinks. We highly recommend the Tipsy Santa.“

“Tried Cuoco Bello for my first time tonight and it was delicious! I ordered the chicken parm for carry out and it was flavorful, a large portion size, and better than I had anticipated 😊 Just what I was looking for in a great meal! The staff was friendly and I can't wait to go back and try something else! Also, they have weekly specials so definitely check those out too! Highly recommend! 🍝“
