50 Best American Restaurants near North Ridgeville

“The service is excellent, and the coffee is hot. The eggs are very fresh and the corned beef hash is hot! Very good dining experience for a neighborhood diner. The toast has real butter and it was brought out hot. I will definitely come here again.“

“BtB has created a space that crosses generations. On multiple occasions the restaurant has accommodated and welcomed our Ridgeville Ranger sports squad to have a nice meal and spend time with one another as well as our families. The staff is excellent, cocktails are top notch and the menu has something for everyone. (Their wings may be low key the best in town.)“

“My go to place for breakfast most of the time. Great service depends on who you get for a waitress. The younger ones are a little distracted. The hostess and owner is awesome. Very attentive and makes up for the slower young ones who don't know the difference between homefries and hashbrowns because they always ask, "the shredded ones?" And even then, you sometimes get the opposite. However, I love the place for breakfast.“

“We had our first visit here last Saturday after one of thebkids sports games. I've never eaten at a Culver's and was completely unprepared for everything you can get here. Burgers, salads, chicken, sides galore, and their pre-packaged pints of frozen custard. It was delicious all of it. You can't go wrong whatever you “

“I needed a good breakfast from a diner. Took my friend with me to this place. Went in and ordered the 2 eggs and hash browns and sausage. Thought it would take 20 minutes, we had our plates within 5 minutes. Best breakfast I've had in a long time, especially the hash browns and sausage. I'll be going back tomorrow with my daughter. Great breakfast, thanks guys.“

“The kitchen is reliably good to excellent. The wait staff is usually very friendly and helpful although occasionally you will get someone that is so basic they miss oppurtunities to try to go for the details that make for a good experience. Don't let the strip mall facade fool you it is a pleasant place to dine at and the patio is particularly nice in decent weather. I go here even though it is somewhat out of my normal range for just popping in for dinner.“

“This has been a crazy extended weekend. Shary and I drove out to Lorain for the eclipse and started having mystical experiences before we were even halfway to the Ariel Hotel. For example, Shary saw a road sign for an attraction that kind of reminded us of that Frank Lloyd Wright house, Falling Waters. She plops that into the GPS and BAM! GPS says turn right at the next exit. So we get to see that. On the way there we pass a place we went white water rafting! Great memories. And of course, Falling Waters is rad. Anyway, we get to the hotel and the weekend just gets stranger. So fun. Everyone is all spazzing out about the eclipse. We meet a clothing designer. Whatever. So yeah. Back to this spot. Eclipse done. Fancy dinner for us vacationers? An internet search suggested this spot would be worth the 25 min drive from Lorain. And it was. Oysters. Cooked dates. Good drinks. Very good end to an extended weekend!“

“We had a delicious dinner at Houlihans Westlake. The scallops I had were excellent and nicely prepared. My husband had the Chicken Picatta, which was, unfortunately, overcooked, but our server, Kelly, was fantastic and exchanged his meal for one perfectly cooked. Kelly saved the day! She made our dining experience lovely! Thank you!“

“We just wanted to give the Dawg House a HUGE shoutout and recommendation as the BEST sports bar and live music venue in all of Lorain County!! Not only do we play there periodically, our members frequent the Dawg House for their outstanding service, food and drink menu, and tremendous selection of live music acts on our nights off of gigging. Eric (owner) is the best bar owner we know, and he makes everyone feel welcomed and special when they visit. His staff is top notch, friendly and extremely attentive. If you want an outstanding experience watching sports, live music, playing trivia, or just enjoying their amazing food, you’ve found your place!!! 5 stars for sure!“

“Everything was spot on. the wine was nice at a reasonable price pappardelle pasta was just incredible... perfectly flavored with homemade noodles. Only downside was sitting facing west toward the west side of the patio the sun came in and blasted us on our way down. Seasonal issue. Will return.“

“We went here for lunch before we headed over to a beach to watch the solar eclipse we got there right before the rush so we didn't wait long for anything. All 4 of us loved our food and I think it was probably the best shrimp po boy I ever had. I wish this was closer to where I live, I would order that weekly!!!“

“Ladies Night Out - ten women, one with Celiac Disease - everyone loved it! Great service and delicious food options including a gluten free menu. It was a tad noisy, but we know how to raise our voices! I look forward to going back often!Dietary restrictions: They have a wonderful Gluten Free menu with many option including corn tacos, gf pasta, many salads and even dessert!“

“I work very close to Edacious & when I need a brief respite from the hustles& bustle of my job this is my go to. I can't say enough positive things about the food. My favorite is the Chicken Paillard but you really can't go wrong. Service is great. Bartender fantastic. Music always good. Surprising little gem in Avon Lake., The only bummer is the view of the old power plant, hopefully that will be disappearing soon. For now look the other direction and enjoy this fabulous place“

“My 13 year old son and I stopped in for breakfast together for the 1st time and we waited to be seated for a view minutes. Once seated the server was friendly and explained the menu to us. We enjoyed the food as it was delicious and the portions were perfect for us both. Overall, the price is fair, food is delicious, quality is top notch, atmosphere is fun and clean for every age, and we will for sure be back! Great little gem with wonderful service!“

Service was excellent, actually above and beyond. 1 waitress…Cherie… took very good care of our group. Very friendly and knowledgeable of the food. We’ll all be back!“

“First time visitors while we were shopping nearby. Food was delicious, arrived quickly on a busy night, and the server Nancy was a true professional. We tried to save some of the onion rings appetizer to take home but the two of us finished them all before the food arrived! I had the small Ahi crunchy salad but it was a perfect dinner portion.“

“My cousin and I went to swensons early this evening and my servicer was shekina. She was extremely efficient, sweet and very patient. Every question we had she answered without hesitation and with a smile on her face the entire time. The food was very hot, fresh and delivered fast. I don’t think I have had better service at swensons then I did tonight. We definitely will be coming back when she is working.“

Very rare to have someone so attentive and friendlyShe has been there a while because we remembered her from our past visit. It was nice to see someone still employed there and still happy❤️BJ bowl was so good!!!“

“I've been here several times and have always had a positive experience, from the friendly service to the delicious food. Today's Easter brunch was no exception; not only did everything on the buffet taste fresh, but the staff continually replenished the food to ensure everyone was able to enjoy it. Our server Dan was also so sweet and made our family outing that much more enjoyable. This place is such a gem in Westlake!“

“A little hidden gem in Avon Lake, Ohio. Friendly staff and polite hardworking employees everywhere you turn. We made reservations and they were accommodating. It’s a family friendly or date night kind of place. They have a small bar area up front with wine bottles every where, really cool vibes. The fresh bread and garlic butter are amazing. The Chicken Alfredo can easily feed 3-4 people, it’s HUGE! The grouper dish was good too. We had side of shrimp and calamari as well. Next time will save room for those delicious looking desserts. Clean and cozy spot!Parking: Parking lot upfront the restaurant.“

“Good food yum! I so missed being able to come here delicious! Shake was very good!“

“Bay Diner has wonderful service (Kaylee was our server). She was attentive and got our food to us about 12 minutes after ordering. The food was great along with the presentation of the food. The chairs were worn out and the bathroom could have been cleaner. The root beer was thick, a lot sweeter than it was supposed to be, and flat (the brand was mug). the overall Diner was clean and it was an enjoyable environment. Bay Diner was truly amazing and I hope to be back soon.“

“Great food nice list of beers and the bartenders always are friendly and very helpful with drink ideas“

“If you are looking for some true home cooked meals where you are treated as a human, go here!! Our server treated us like a hungey family member and made sure of beverages were full and we had plenty of napkins. The serving sizes are perfect, and they really have the best cole slaw.“

“Love this place! Great Breakfasts. If you go away hungry, it's your own fault.“

We asked to sub the sunny side up egg with scrambled egg.Service was great and friendly.“

Planning on going back to try more menu items as all were delicious-even the fries were great. Can't wait to go back!“

“good food and friendly service“

“Fantastic restaurant. Amazing service. Great knowledge of wine and patience to share their knowledge. Food is awesome and Chef Ron continues to create dishes that make you want to come back again and again. Entertainment is a plus. Every night there's either someone entertaining or fun trivia, movie nights, car shows, clam bakes or paint nights. The patio is the best in town. Fire pit, patio heaters, great woodsy environment. Don't miss out on this gem in your own backyard.“

“My family and I traveled back to our hometown in Ohio for a funeral. We wanted to have some fun to cheer us up and we got in late, so this was the only place open later on a Sunday. We were so happy that we could let go and have a nice time together for some affordable bowling and some good food. The bartender was very helpful and she gave great service. Thank you to the staff for lightening our night last week.“

“What a wonderful lunch experience today. The menu selections are different than what you see everywhere else and sound so good it’s hard to choose one. The food was excellent and the portions are way larger than you would expect for the price. Such a nice atmosphere.“

“I loved everything about this place. Cozy, friendly and most importantly, delicious! Sunday is half off all wines under 100.00.Great date night or dinner with the guys or girls. Would strongly suggest the lobster cakes, lobster pasta and pepper soup. A little on the pricey side but was well worth it.“

“Stopped in for brunch and my wife and I got the breakfast pizza tooped with fried eggs. I was on the fence about it but...this thing was DELICIOUS! I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Also a big fan of the tots and mac and cheese bowls. Food is always good, always a friendly crowd, and the service is always on-point. The staff is friendly, engaging, and go out of their way to ensure customer satisfaction. One of our favorite stops.“
