We've been to this restaurant 5-6 times in the past year and we've never failed to have an outstanding meal! We've ordered the Pick It Dinner where you pick your protein, sauces and sides and ALL of them are excellent (we had a bigger group). We've also tried the sandwiches, salads and pizzas. No lie, it is all good. In addition, the barman (Creighton) is a master mixologist with amazing concoctions. He is also very friendly and gave us recommendations for drinks and dinner. The chef also asked us how we were doing and chit chatted with us for a minute. Overall, A+ experience. Do make sure to try it yourself. read more

Great food, Ceasar salad was amazing, mashed potaties were the best Ive ever had. Service very attentive. Would return again and again!

The plates are all awesome combinations! The sauces are so cravable and veggies are super fresh.

I ordered their grilled chicken sandwich (The Love Bird)and it came so soggy. I told the waitress it was too soggy to eat it. I couldn't even pick it up. I asked her for another bun. She went and got me another bun and I had to remake my own sandwich with the fresh bun. She never offered to make me another one and we had already waited a long time for our meal so I was just happy to be eating. They never should have served that sandwich looking the way it did. read more

I really enjoy the food here. Not your standard options. Fun casual place to grab a bite to eat.

So delicious! I've tried a variety of things on the menu and nothing has ever disappointed! From the pizza to the salads and appetizers it's all so good! The drinks are all phenomenal too! read more

We went here on a Sunday evening and Mother's Day. They seemed surprised we didn't have a reservation but seated us quickly. The waitress was really nice and attentive. I got a veggie burger, both of kids got burgers and my hubby got the chicken with mushrooms. My veggie burger was good but hard to eat because it was on focaccia bread. The kids liked their burgers. My husband's chicken was dry. We did get the white pizza as an appetizer and that was phenomenal. Overall, it was good but nothing that knocked my socks off but I'd be willing to try it again. read more

If you want a great salad, this is your place. Its a simple place you get in line and order. Nothing fancy, just great food. Soups, wraps, sandwiches are also good and fresh. Can also order take out if you want fresh food to go read more

The service here was poor and the food was really not good. My friend ordered the chicken sandwich which normally comes with a bunch of (what I would call yummy) stuff. He very simply wanted the chicken, cheese and bun with yellow mustard on the side, though. After the server derided him about his choice, it still came wrong! My wife ordered what she thought was pho. It turned out to be some sort of sweet and sour soup. I got the veggie burger which was marginal at best. This place has pretentious but they need to up their game if they want to survive. read more

Delicious pizza and salad and amazing service!!! Towards the end of our meal, my husband accidentally knocked over the pizza stand ‍the owner was nice enough to go back to the kitchen himself and make us a small pizza to go! Besides the amazing service, there are many vegan and vegetarian options as well. It's a must try if you're in the area!! read more

Not very impressed with the new layout or menu. This was the only place I could go to have a good salad made. Please consider bringing back the create your own salad option or more salad varieties. read more

I went here for the first time Monday night. I ordered the special vegan lasagna. It was very good but a little small. What I don't understand is why a small lasagna cost $19. I found that to be an outrageous price. I only ordered it because it was different. I could have easily been priced at $10 or even less. Tomatoes and even vegan cheese are not that expensive. read more

Great atmosphere, excellent menu, reasonably priced and the food was delicious with a beautiful presentation. My first time there. I will be a repeat customer. Liked everything about it. Highly recommend read more

The fact that they completely changed the vibe of this place is great. The decor is amazing and the food is STILL delicious with all the new menu opinions!!!! TRY THE SALMON you will not regret it!!! read more

I've eaten and reviewed the 1st 56 kitchen in Solon and its one of our "go to" spots fair prices, great food, lots of variety. The staff knows the menu ( rare these days). Anyway we went to try the SOM location and Wow its more beautiful than Solon with this huge custom chandelier of the world made of nuts and bolts. Much like the real world. My wife enjoyed the Salmon delicious. And I had the salmon sandwich yummy. My only regret is that I changed my order from open face to a bun my mistake. Next time I'll leave it to the pros. Great place try it read more

Great food! Definitely amazing service. As a frequent customer, I always have an amazing experience. I've tried various things from the menu but the flank steak is my favorite. All the sides are amazing! read more

Tried the fajita/salad/baked potato. Everything tasted good. Watch out as the food portions are really huge and most of the times are served with a bagel read more

56 Kitchen - Stuffed potato - Sandwiches Near Me - Mayfield Heights, Ohio

We've ate at 56 kitchen many times and haven't had a meal we didn't like. Service is wonderful food is delicious and never disappoints! Tonight I had the 56 sangria the best sangria I've ever had!! If you haven't been yet your missing out! Definitely the best addition to have in Mayfield! The owner Jay takes passion in their menu service and offering food you won't find in this area. The Love bird my favorite is a twist on a grilled chicken sandwich but taken to the next level on a toasted brioche bun with grilled brussel sprouts with a housemade sweet tomato jam is like no other sandwich you're had before! My husband had their original salad I know your thinking it's a salad but it much more than that the creamy garlic vinaigrette makes you want more and makes this more than just a salad. If your looking for a new restaurant to try you won't be disappointed! read more

See all

The maitre-d was friendly but after seating us we waited a considerable amount of time before our waitress Shannon arrived. Surprisingly the customer 2 tables over and next to us were attended to upon seating. (they both arrived after we did) Actually another employee male came from behind the counter to attend to the customer next to us. After asking for our drink request she brought our teas without the lemons and any sugars. Surprisingly again the man next was served his SALAD before we got our food. Which one of the dishes was a salad Our waitress also asked for my husband's order before me or my sister, strange for serving etiquette. We have been there before and were surprised at the coolness (coldness) of atmosphere. receipt time 1:54 P.M. 3/6/ Eastgate frequent shopper read more

You cannot go wrong with this place! Dynamite service, incredible food and great atmosphere! They truly care about the customer. I would recommend. I have not ordered anything that has not been far above par! They stay true to their roots! read more

The inside is nice and quaint. My salad was good. Lighting could be better but seems adequate amd moght be the atmosphere they are trying to go for. read more

We stopped in 56 Kitchen on a whim and were super impressed! The service was awesome snd the food was too!!! We had the mussels and let me tell you, I cannot wait to go back...they were amazing! The atmosphere is super cool. Very easy to forget that you are in a strip mall on Mayfield. read more

This place is top notch. The food is healthy and delicious. We loved the Brussel sprouts and salads but everything is good. The service is beyond amazing, so attentive. They went out of their way to help my dad who is disabled. Our server was Kimi - ask for her. She is the best! read more

So my daughter picked up 4 salads for me. So close to 40 bucks we spent. Got home and they forgot my salad dressing on my oriental salad. My daughter got the gump salad and she bit into a raw shrimp. She was sick to her stomach and had to throw the salad out. I called the store. The girl said I could drive back and they would remake the salad. Well I live 25 minutes away and just don't have that time. So I called back again and spoke to the supervisor and he couldn't do any better than that but said I could call tomorrow to speak to the manager. I felt I should be compensated. Send me certificate in the mail and I will come back when I am Around there. Anyways, it is very disappointing and I would not recommend because if you have an issue management does nothing to make it better! Save your cash and go elsewhere!! read more

The new decor and menu are great. Of course they still have the famous salad, but now they have so much more. Pizza, sandwiches, plates, the menu has something for everyone. The well stocked bar has great choices and a friendly staff. My first visit, sure to make my regular rotation. read more

I love the food. Amazing employees. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. They make everything as fast as possible for you.

Unbelievable salad selection- fresh and made to order! 2nd time here in 3 days! Great lunch stop! read more

Love going to this place when I'm on the east side of cleveland. Always fresh and great vegetarian options. Love the salads that come with pretzel rolls. read more

Very good restaurant thermosphere was very clean and the staff was very nice. Quite a unique experience.

I came. I ate salad. I left happy. What more do want? Late lunch on a Sunday shopping adventure led us to crave a salad or something other than a big sub or burger. So this place pops up on Yelp and hey, look, the pictures show salads and salads and more salads. What could go wrong? The answer? Not really anything. Consider this a fast casual joint where you sit down after ordering your food at the prep station. So you don't have servers, you pick what you want off a big board, and everyone is happy. Can only speak about the Greek salad, but it's exactly what you'd expect from a Greek salad. I agree that it is on the pricey side, but it's basically what you would pay for a dinner salad at a sit down joint. They do get you for $0.50 for extra dressing because apparently they'd go under if not for that, and you do get some spring mix with a lot of iceberg, but it's a salad. It's all about the toppings and dressing, and they didn't skimp on the chicken, olives, or feta. All the salads look to have been equally crafted. The staff was friendly, and the joint was just a little messy, probably from it being late in the day after lunch rush, and it's starting to look like it has some wear and tear, but I would recommend it to anyone looking for a change of pace lunch experience. read more

I don't understand the negative reviews. I got a caprese sandwich with bacon and thought it was delicious. Service was friendly and fast and the food was fresh. read more

56 Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Mayfield Heights, Ohio

Went to Cafe 56 today for lunch as I had been before and it the food decent. Unfortunately the same did not hold true this time. First there was the wait to order (25 minutes), I understand that places are busy at lunch but this was just ridiculous. And then when I was at the front the guy taking my order picked up the phone to take other orders. And when told to focus on the people in the restaurant by (I assume) a manager he just ignored. Then as he was taking my order he disputed what I was saying, even thought I was reading of the board - exact quote "you mean the smoked turkey??" (my response was I dont know it says turkey, what a silly thing to argue with a customer about). After placing my order it was another 20-25 minute wait to get the food, which turned out to be mediocre. I have had better greek salads for less money at corner delis. I definitely will not be going back when there are better restaurants on either side that have friendly quick service and better food. Ways to improve: Make sure there is proper, friendly, staffing at busy times (IE - 12-1). Ensure that the food quality is consistent and can beat out the "corner deli" read more

In the beginning they hit it out of the park. Lately, seems food delivery issues. They need to be changing up their menu, vibe is good

Amazing restaurant. I've driven by many times and never stopped. Wish we had earlier. Great food, Jamie is an awesome server and everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. read more

Two friends and I recently went to Cafe 56 because it was conveniently located across the street from our residence. At first, we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious taste of the food and conversed about how we would be frequenting he establishment. As we were walking out we were discussing grabbing a beer at a local pub when all of a sudden it hit me, I had to drop one. I was the driver so I rushed everyone into the car and sped back to the house. Once we got there it had set in with all of us. We all took turns, one at a time, destroying the facility with no remorse. Once the debacle ended, and the premises had been cleaned the decision had been made. We would not be returning to the Cafe 56 again. P.s. after this occurrence, we began referring to taking a dump as, "taking a 56." read more

Very good place for salads and wrap. Grilled steak is well marinated to top the sale or have in sandwich. Lots of fresh and tasty veggies and the sale dressings are very good. Absolutely worth a try .. wish they had one in Solon. read more

This is a great place to get a healthy sandwich. Choose from a selection of wittily-named dandwiches and salads, pick up a fancy drink or a brownie and eat. The portions are pretty large, but nothing like Slyman's, so you can finish it if you want, or take half home for later. The downside is that tortilla chips are served with no salsa or anything to go with it. Dry tortilla chips don't make the best accompaniment to a sandwich, but that's what they give you. The free wireless is a big plus, and can give you something to do while you wait the 5+ minutes for them to concoct your sandwich. read more

Helpful hint for those who are in a rush - you can order your grub online, walk in, pay, and get back to whatever else it is you should be doing in no time flat. Definitely order ahead at lunchtime if you don't have the time or patience to wait! read more

I was pretty stoked to find this place on Yelp when in the area for business. I had a little bit of trouble though, actually finding this place. In midst of a strip mall/shopping center, it was easily lost right next to First Watch. I love the concept-56 salads (and other stuff too) and it took me awhile to decide. It seemed like a lot of the salads had olives, which I wasn't really feeling. I settled on a philly cheese steak salad. I was disappointed to find the 'mixed greens' seemed to be iceberg lettuce topped with some darker greens/spring mix. I was hoping for a bowl without iceberg. The facility was nice, the service was mostly friendly (though the open concept gave me a front row seat to some attitude exchange between workers) and wifi from next door helped me get some work done. Overall, the options were solid and I'd go back simply because when on the road, finding a lunch that's not a sandwich or a heavy plate is always a win in my book. read more

First visit ordered a wonderful Pho dish but found it missing on our most recent visit. Had a great experience talking with the bartender who was happy to be " creative" for us as well as the very personable waitress. Nice find for a strip mall in Mayfield! read more
