31 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.“

“Stopped in for lunch yesterday and it was amazing.👏 I had the club sandwich and it was delicious. The service was great as well. We will be back. Thank you old fort.“

“My favorite place for comfort food. Waiters are always attentive and make you feel glad you came!“

“My husband and I eat here all the time. The GM, Hersh, walks around and is personal with all of his customers, Jennifer (our server this time) was amazing. Quick and polite. I’ve had many servers here & we love them all. The menu has so many options and the food is ALWAYS hot and fresh! I highly reccommend the southwest bowl! It’s my favorite! It has the perfect hint of spicy without it being too spicy. It’s a great family environment with a clean dining area and also bathrooms. 10/10 in terms of cost also! We had two full meals for just $25!“

“A delicious, well portioned meal for a fair price. Malachi served us with a smile and excellence. We have found our favorite Cleveland restaurant. We enjoyed the Beef Bites, Squash casserole and Fish and Chips. Finished with the Gooey Butter Cake Ala Mode.“

“Went in just for fries didn't have a lot of money he made sure I had a burger also Nobody cares for fellow human beings like this anymore God bless these people“

“Traveling thru and stopped for lunch at this long-time place to eat. They were closing early on Monday in 15 min but we were able to order. We had pulled pork sandwiches and fries and they were good. There is eating inside and out. An older local place where u order at the counter which is why I said 3 stars for service and atmosphere. I would return to eat if lived here.“

“Our Valentines dinner was ok except for mine. I ordered the salmon which was delicious until I noticed it being very undercooked. I sent it back only to be brought another undercooked plate. My server told me that if I take it home and microwave it...... It would be fine. 0 offers to refund my plate or make it right. Everything else was awesome other than mine.“

“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.“

“Best breakfast ever and the portions are plentiful.“

“Our avocado toast was fantastic! Great coffee and relaxing atmosphere. Will come here again! Note: there’s no signage, but easy to find.“

“Great variety on the menu!“

“Excellent Service and Great Food, one of my favorite restaurants!“

“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..“

“Kathy is my ex mother law anything you get from her is best home cooked meal you will ever eat really good place to eat or order food from you want be sorry“

“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“

“Our experience was A+++++ when a group of 10 came for a meal. The service was quick and our server was very pleasant and accommodating. It was our first time, but definitely not our last!“

“Check the pizza before you send it out with customers!! Our pizza was so burnt yesterday we couldn't even eat it once we got home!!“

“All the nurses and staff at Life Care want to thank you so much for feeding us Thanksgiving! You are truly special and we can’t say just how much you and your staff are appreciated. The food was AMAZING! God bless y’all for doing such good things in this community.“

“Brooke was SO nice, and took care of ALL of our needs in the party room. At least 20 people and I don't think she missed a single one of us. The crab legs were fantastic! Don't think I've had that much fun with my food in a long while. I loved the fish decor, and the bathrooms were well maintained, and very clean.“

“Came in today to get a BBQ sandwich, fries, and a sweet tea. BEST food I’ve had from a restaurant in ages! Everything was high-quality! So good! The lady that took my order was very sweet, also. Highly recommend Stadium BBQ!!!“

“I had a chance to visit there me and my friend and my brother year and a half ago we enjoyed the experience.“

“My waitress was Bryleigh and she was absolutely the best thanks from the guy that was sitting alone.“

“I have travelled the world and was shocked to read a few negative reviews about the crust. This was some of the best pizza I have ever eaten around the world. We have already reached out to our family and friends with the recommendation to come here.
We have a new favorite restaurant“

“newly remodeled, it hit the spot 😋😋“

“There was a conference in town and we decided to take everyone here. It was packed but the service was great. The food was great and fast. The manager was very sweet and apologized that it might be a wait because of tables. We didn't have to wait very long and then we received our food so it was all perfect timing.“

“Great food, great atmosphere... this is the perfect place to go for lunch, where everyone can find something on the menu to enjoy! Great service, friendly staff, and the manager stopped to ask if everything was good. A very pleasant experience overall.“

“great atmosphere n great food“

“Our server Denna was very sweet and respectful and seemed to be pretty organized.. only keep Warner would be to set alcoholic beverages further away from children or to at least signal the parent or adult that ordered it to grab personally instead of setting it if there's no other option. Food presentation was beautiful although the mashed potatoes were cold mistake was made just write juicy tender great flavor
Even though I'm used to seeing it busier a lot busier than what it has been I can honestly say it's still a good date night location“

“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“
