Love from the first bite. OMG. From the first bite I was hooked. Not a lot of places get breakfast potatoes correct but these were delectable. Not to mention there were soft and warm on the inside with an incredible crust on the outside. To put it plainly, you're not going to need condiments. The French toast was good. Cooked the old school way. Solid! The turkey sausage was kielbasa and it was good. Not sure what brand they used but it was very flavorful and delicious. They also had the interior decorated for Valentine's Day which was a bonus. I'll definitely be bringing my husband back with me. The hostess was amazing, friendly, that old school good customer service. Also, the playlist was fire. I was able to work on my laptop and relax. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Stopped in here for brunch on the way through Cleveland one Saturday morning. The atmosphere is very cheerful and the staff is super friendly! Also the prices are almost unbelievably low - many breakfast plates are under $10, which is almost unheard of today. The food was fine but a bit bare-bones. I was very excited for my fried green tomatoes, but there was a lot of fried and not very much tomato (it was honestly hard to see it). My wife and I both had some breakfast meat and our sausage/bacon portions were also pretty small. Pancakes were nice and fluffy but very plain tasting. You get the picture - nothing wrong with the food here per se, but not all that exciting either. read more

Linda took my order over the phone and baaaby when I say she went above and behind she did. The food was great it was made exactly how I ordered it. I ordered French toast cheese eggs w/American cheese scrambled lite,home fries (not shredded potatos)and bacon (I ordered not burnt on crunchy) I'm a picky eater and she made it happen. I will be back thank you. That was great customer service read more

Was in Cleveland to go see the museum. Was staying in Midtown. Looking for breakfast, this place got good reviews. Fluffy pancakes caught my eye online. Service was good enough. Wasn't busy. Got pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. They were out of ham. Coffee was warm and blah. Pancakes were flat and thin, far from fluffy. Pretty underwhelming. Hurray for the bacon and perfectly cooked eggs. Just ok. Nothing special. read more

This was my first time getting breakfast from here, and I got take out, so I can't vouch for the whole menu or the service (though I was greeted with a friendly hello, and the lady who gave me my order and took payment was very pleasant), but, GET THE FISH AND GRITS. The fish was seasoned perfectly and was nice and crispy even though I was late picking up my order and had to drive to my office before I ate. I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner, as it's right on my way to work. I will definitely be adding this to my Friday breakfast rotation! read more

We found this little place online while searching for places to get breakfast close by to where we were staying and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and figured we'd give it a try. The food is amazing! I ordered home fries with onions and peppers, salmon patties and scrambled eggs. I had zero complaints with the food. I highly recommend those salmon patties! My son is type 1 diabetic and although diet soft drinks were not available, they were very helpful and accommodating in getting him some sugar free syrup for his pancakes without me even asking if they had any. The people here made us feel so welcome. Thank you for a great breakfast experience and adding to the pleasure of our stay in Cleveland read more

Service was great. Our waitress was friendly, the food came out promptly and was freshly made. The fish & grits was AMAZING!

We were looking for a quick place to have breakfast. We got to choose where we wanted to sit. Waitress came over right away. Great cup of coffee. We ordered fried egg sandwiches, homefries, pancakes, and sausage. You can tell pancakes and home fries were homemade. Great price for the amount of food served. read more

Go here. Amazing service. Amazing food. Get the wings without flour, as suggested to us. Best wings we've ever had, and we were on a "wing trail," trip headed to Buffalo. Go here. read more

Pancakes! On My Momma! If you don't do nothing here, get the pancakes, you will not be disappointed. I tend to go other places, but I've been hearing about this place on Facebook and wanted to give it a try. read more

Definitely an interesting experience. The culture is very different from what I'm use to, but I felt the family vibes that was there. The place had open sitting either at booths, tables or the bar table. I'm a booth person! Service was pretty standard; nothing remarkable. We weren't sure about parking so settled for street parking instead. Which turned out perfectly since the food was filling, so that 1-2 minute walk was good for us! Home fries were unexpectedly greasy for me, but of course I ate everything on my plate! Sausages are homemade, they were tough to chew for me and a bit dry. Eggs and toast were perfect. My friend had the pancakes (which is made from Annie's original recipe) and I was glad he shared because those definitely did not taste like "out-of-the-box" pancakes. They had some sweetness to them aside from the syrup. Overall, I am glad to have stopped in at this breakfast spot, but probably will not be returning anytime soon. read more

Delicious breakfast today! The eggs were exactly as I ordered them, grits are one of my favorites always, and bacon was the perfect amount of not-too-crispy and I didn't even ask for it any particular way! Even chatted with some new friends and learned something I never knew before about insurance! Thanks for being so welcoming. Next time in I'm Cleveland for breakfast, I'll see y'all again. read more

Pancakes. Get them. I'm not even a pancake person. I don't ever order them- keep my breakfast savory, please. Not here! The pancakes are incredible. I had so many crispy edges- daaaang. Also, the syrup is NOT watery stuff. Nope! Full flavah. My eggs were delicious as well! Much better than most diners. Sausage patties are scrumptious. The price is also right- $6 gets you a huge meal and coffee. Service is wonderful- we got tons of coffee refills and everyone is really friendly. Only cons? Took awhile for our meal and not many others were there. I would go here when time isn't tight. read more

Stopped in here on our way home to Toronto on a Wednesday morning. This is a down home greasy spoon that does breakfast right. We were kindly greeted by the staff and seated ourselves. We had hot coffees ready as we checked out the menu. My wife opted for the fried green tomato breakfast and I had the pancake breakfast. The meals came with eggs (we took them scrambled) and bacon or sausage. The eggs were amazing cooked just right not under done or over done. My wife's tomatoes were great, better than we had a fancy spot in Louisville. The pancakes were amazing. 3 fluffy made from scratch pancakes that were golden brown. Try these. The sausage was also surprisingly good. Not sure if they were homemade or not. The best part the meal came in under $15! Check this place out the food is high quality, portions are huge, and prices are great. read more

Annie B & Earl's - Pancake breakfast minus one sausage. - American Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

This place was absolutely delicious!!! The hash browns were so soft and the pancakes were even softer. Looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but man did t fill me up. Would eat here again :) read more

Great food (the sausage is handmade and delicious) and wonderful service. I would definitely come here again

Pancakes are the foundation of any nutritious breakfast. I read something somewhere on the internet that says that. I think. Anyway that doesn't matter. Sometimes i just need some pancakes. When i get a hold of a place that gives me the pancakes i need when I need them I take notice. Their pancakes are more than amazing. Something beyond your regular standard pancake. Place is cozy. Service is friendly and great. Price is nice. For me though it all came down to those pancakes. These pancakes may bring world peace to these troubling times. Everyone needs to start their morning here. read more

Annie and Earl's is a place I'm happy to support. They're clearly family owned, the folks that work there are friendly, their prices are low, and their food is decent quality. It's a great low-frills diner. Definitely fits in the greasy spoon category - greasier than Superior Restaurant (a plus), less greasy than Steve's Lunch (as if it were possible to be as greasy as Steve's), better food and price than Shay's next door (but equally greasy). read more

We had a long layover in Cleveland and drove from the airport to eat here! It was well worth it. Annette our waitress was friendly, had us laughing and was very patient with us explaining the menu. Ms. Annie (Lois) came out to give a shout to us. She was very nice and told me where I could shop. Now for the food- Fantastic! Real down home cooking. Just like your. Mama and grandma made. Hugh portions. Large pancake was delis! Home fries the bomb. Cheese omelette just the right amount of cheese. If I ever comeback to Cleveland. I'm coming here to eat! read more

I'll never go here again... they only had one cook on staff, after overlooking the menu for 15min(not by choice) I was finally able to place an order which I looked forward to. After being told no official estimate time I headed back to my car... After waiting 30/40 min I went back in only to be told another 10min wait... after waiting 25min after being told 10min the waitress then comes back and asks me what did I order in the midst of saying "I'm so sorry" what seemed to be 2000 times somehow she managed to tell me that she doesn't know if my ticket has even been prepared or how long it will even be before my food is done... I say all this to say... JUS AVOID THE WAIT AND GO TO THE GROCERY STORE read more

I love a nicely sized piece of fresh, crispy fish! Mom & I enjoyed our fish-n-grits breakfast...The pancakes---flavorful & fluffy--NOT your average diner pancake! There's love in that recipe The friendly customer service and tasty, filling breakfast will keep us coming back Thanks!! read more

What a wonderful experience. I was there for a business meeting this morning. The place was incredibly clean and the staff was ever so friendly. The pancakes were delicious. The waitress bragged about the made from scratch product. It is well worth it. I would suggest everyone to go. read more

One word..PANCAKES!! Fantastic!! Best I ever had!!No joke, fluffy, tasty as all get-out!! But then the bacon...the worst I ever had!! It's a wash..but wait, unless you just get pancakes..WIN! So just get the pancakes! read more

Being in Cleveland for a business trip, I longed for sweet Ohio soul cooking that reminded me on my grandma. Annie and Earl's was a slam dunk. My uber driver gave me the recommendation and I am so thankful! The ambiance was of a typical pancake house but one that your auntie and uncle own. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant is huge with plenty of seating. The food was phenomenal. I had pancakes, eggs, bacon, and a salmon cake. The salmon cake was so juicy, and fresh. Many restaurants do not make their food scratch. At Annie and Earl's they make everything fresh and high quality. I also had a coffee, which had a cinnamon base. The best part is my entire meal came up to just over $10. Yes $10!! It's very inexpensive. Affordable food, with a spectacular dining experience. If you are in the Cleveland area, you have to give Annie's and Earl's a try. Forget the other brunch places, this is a true gem! ( Not sure why it says they are closed during the weekends, not true) read more

Best food on our entire trip! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We definitely found a local hotspot! The pancakes are AMAZING as well as the salmon cakes. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a "home cooked" breakfast. If we are ever back in Cleveland, we will definitely come back. read more

The pancakes are very good and the food is made from scratch. These aren't out the box pancakes and the difference in taste is very noticable. Had the pancake starter combo with scrambled eggs, and substituted meat for home fries potatoes. The only thing keeping my rating from being a 5 star was the their orange juice game. Pancakes on fleek orange juice on bleak. Here's a hint either do fresh squeezed OJ or Simply. Try this hidden gem out. Prices and food are great. read more

Service was slow, one waitress seemed overwhelmed n loudly expressed it to customers, placing blame. Some customers also had long wait times before bing greeted n order taken. Food was OK not great read more

I had such high hopes for this place after reading all the good reviews on it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The customer service is very lacking - I went at about noon on a weekday and there was only one other customer waiting. After taking my order take-out order, the servers stood around talking. All I ordered was a Joe's Belly Buster (eggs, french toast, potatoes, and sausage) - I waited 30 minutes before I asked one of the workers if my order was done. I ended up waiting another 10 minutes before my order was done - turns out they forgot to make my order. The person, who got there before me, waited even longer for theirs - turns out that they forgot to make his order too...when there are only 2 customers there. The food was passable but nothing spectacular for the wait and the sausage was gross. On top of that, all their prices have gone up, so if you are looking at their menu online, you might want to double check to see what the real price is. I'll stick to my usual place that is also off St. Clair Ave - The Fifth Wheel. read more
