32 Best American Restaurants in Cleveland

“Little Diner First is an amazing hometown diner from the yesterdays. It’s a quaint dinner with amazing friendly staff and a delicious variety of food with specials that change every day. They’re known for their authentic breakfast specials, but their lunch menu is just as tasty. I have eaten here numerous times and have never had a bad meal or an unfriendly experience. There aren’t many diners like this left, so I encourage all to eat local at this hometown diner.“

“We went here for dinner after spending the weekend in New Orleans. It was a long trip home and we were very hungry. We ordered the ribs with salad and a potato.

The ribs were absolutely delicious with copious BBQ sauce. They were cooked to perfection and were falling off the bone with little effort. The food was presented well.

If you want some of the best ribs in town I would highly recommend Logan’s.

Our waitress was excellent and very attentive. We had an excellent experience.“

“We went to the 25th Street location while my dad played a show with a band, and we had been there the whole time, ordered food and everything. But after the guy took my drink order, he came up to our table and yelled at us saying we didn't pay to get in. We were told by the owner we didn't have to pay since we were with the band. we politely explained what we were told, But had said if we had to then we would, no problem. But instead of standing by what he said, the owner proceeded to YELL at Me saying if I was going to cause an issue then they'd ask us to leave. I felt so uneasy and pissed, because my fiance and I had been polite and everything the whole time. and the fact he was acting like he was only talking to me that way. when my fiance talked to him his tone changed. My stepmom was also with us, told my dad, and they haven't played at that location since. It was a NIGHTMARE.. plus from what I have heard from MULTIPLE people, they have let their waiter follow girls into restrooms and touch them inappropriately and just letting him go right back to work even AFTER the law was involved. This place needs to be investigated, shut down, or something! It is not safe..“

“I had never gone here before but received a gift card and decided to go inside and see what they offered for lunch. I was absolutely greeted with the best customer service ever from a gentleman named MONTANNA! He was so informative and personable that it immensely improved my over all visit and day! He let me sample a few items and gave great suggestions for my meal! Honestly because of this I got something I never would have and LOVED it! He went above and beyond to make my first experience the best it possibly could. Not to mention the food was delicious, he made it quickly and to order. I without a doubt will go back to try some of the other items in the future. The restaurant was quiet and my first impression was that it was maintained and cleaned very well.

*Photos are of half of my sandwich and half of my side of broccoli salad since I forgot to take before photos. Lol“

“terrible service from employees, this location absolutely need customer service classes. Tilapia wasn't seasoned and then the girl just tells me sorry I was the only person in drive thru . okay I want the Tilapia seasoned or I don't want it. Like that's what I pay for so the people ha e to just settle for whatever they want to give us instead of what we pay for. restaurant are just unbelievable anymore.Rating would be 0“
