Came for brunch on a Sunday. Initially at 11, they told us it would be a 35 min wait, and it was…read moreclose to a coffee shop so we ended up going there in the meantime. Ended up waiting 22 min. For a party of two, we shared the biscuits and gravy and the Ohio Cheesy Grits. The biscuits and gravy were great--can totally see why this is popular. The biscuit was moist and fresh. The eggs were soft and cheesy. And the gravy sauce was addicting. Ended up adding their homemade sausage for an additional $3 which was decent but I'd probably go without it next time. 5/5 Ohio cheesy grits were also good--tasted different from the savory biscuits and gravy especially with the corn. The panko crusted chicken thigh was a good addition 4.5/5 Seating limited which is why there was a wait. Good modern casual ambience. Parking available via street parking which is free on the weekends Overall great brunch food, definitely will consider coming back.

This past Sunday a group of us went to breakfast and EVERY ONE loved their meals!…read more Their food is high quality with ingredients and flavors and I could tell our table knew this. Beautiful mural on the wall near our table and there was a fresh flower arrangement on our table which we all appreciated. The space itself had a diner feel where there is a small number of tables and servers are flipping tables because of limited hours and a constant wait. We were told the wait was 30-40 minutes and I believe we sat after 30 minutes. Time flew by as it was a beautiful Sunday morning and we were all chatting outside.

Outstanding choice for dining in Cleveland. If you are looking for a quintessential Cleveland…read moreexperience, this is it. The Rowley Inn is located in a nice neighborhood (Tremont) across the street from the Christmas Story house. I had three meals there. The first, loaded pierogis, was the ultimate comfort dish. Pierogis with potato centers were covered in diced kielbasa, bacon (yes, bacon), and covered in cheddar cheese. Ahhhhh. The others at my table raved about the kielbasa and pierogi dish. They also liked the beer selection. How do you know you have a great find? You think about the meal long after it is consumed. Next meal- breakfast. I had the kielbasa and pierogi omelet. Need I say more? Finally, we came back a third time and I ordered the burger. No burger place (save Chuckbox in Tempe, AZ) can match the Rowley burger. The burger is actually seasoned and cooked to order. I had it medium rare. Sheer perfection. Typing this review makes me sad because I live far away from Cleveland. If you are in The Land, you must drop everything you are doing to get to the Rowley Inn. It is a 8 minute drive from downtown.

I had a damn decent time at the Rowley Inn! Visiting Cleveland from San Antonio for some…read morepresidential history, but when I saw this joint had been on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives"... I definitely aimed to visit. I mean, plus... There's a pretty famous house across the street. I waited a few moments longer than I would have liked for the hostess to seat me, ultimately choosing a two top behind a pillar toward the back. This may have been a mistake... As service waned throughout my meal. The bacon wrapped tots are a MUST TRY. Fantastic! The steak frites was also very good. I've been to nice steak joints that don't know how to cook a steak medium that consistently throughout. My initial water glass was cracked, and a decent chip in the top almost cut my lip. I brought it to the servers attention and she replaced it. And, I also ordered an Arnold Palmer, which never came. Had it not been for those oversights, it may have been a five star review, which is a definite rarity for me when I've tried "Triple-D" locations. Usually I leave disappointed. Y'all, it's an old school bar vibe. Divey. Loved it! Very cool ambiance. So glad I went. It may have been a little loud, honestly...but it is a bar...and I'm getting old! Hahaha!

I think it may have been the Canoe Wreck or something similar, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The inside of the restaurant was pretty quirky and unique. It was hard to explain, but it almost felt like it was set up inside an old home, which gave the place a cool and different atmosphere. Our waiter was great, and we went during the week, so it wasn't super busy but still had a decent crowd. The food and dessert were both good, and my wife and I really enjoyed our experience while staying in Cleveland. Would I go back? Maybe. Nothing completely blew me away, but it was definitely a good experience overall. Great job to the staff and the whole team!

They close at 3:00. Our server was Maria. Super nice and very helpful. We were leaning toward the chicken salad sandwich and asked if it contains onions. Kathy can't eat raw onions. It upsets her stomach. Maria was very honest and said yes, it has lots of onions. And she is not a fan of it for that reason. We thanked her and went to our 2nd choices. I got a chicken avo club and Kathy got the BLT with an egg and on ciabatta bread. My chicken avo club was good. Just very sloppy. The avocado made it too slippery to stay on the bread. The first half I was able to keep it on. 2nd half I had to deconstruct it and eat it piece by piece with a fork and knife. Still good. Just not in sandwich form. The Cajun potato's were very good too. Kathy also enjoyed her BLT. Place is cute. Lots of artwork on the walls you can buy. Parking is right in the lot by the entrance. Easy peazy. No reason to not try this place. Prices are about average. My sandwich was $15. And you can get breakfast all day. Lives up to the hype. I'd go back.

4.5 stars! I've had Martha on the Fly (a diner in the Tremont neighborhood in Cleveland) on my…read morewant-to-visit list for about a century now and jumped at the chance to order my birthday lunch from there as my boyfriend had a $25 coupon that was about to expire on a food delivery app. I'll spare you the details on the cost of food on a delivery app, and focus on the actual things Martha on the Fly could control. So for a grand total of $24.90, I got the Doris sandwich (a breakfast pork burger and egg sandwich) with added pickles and mixed greens, as well as an order of their famous cornmeal fries and a side of sunshine sauce. Everything was packaged fabulously in their iconic retro-diner style packaging and was still hot upon arrival. The buttery brioche bun was without a doubt, some of the best bread I've had in a while. I am marking my score down a mere half point as I wasn't huge on the signature egg and I would have liked an opportunity to opt for "light" sauce vs a standard amount of sauce on the food ordering app. The entire sandwich is gigantic and is definitely a diet killer. The cornmeal fries, which includes about 7 huge and filling fries, were so good! Definitely a must-order here. I ate a couple now and am saving the rest for later. I wish I could have dined in at Martha on the Fly. The interior looks adorable and has great vibes but I am happy I finally got to try their food!

This goes down as my favorite bar in Cleveland, and I visited far more than any person probably…read moreshould in just two days. To call it a neighborhood bar is an understatement. It's tucked away in a residential area inside an old house, giving it a charm that's impossible to manufacture. The interior is unpretentious, cozy, and full of character... and maybe a few characters too. The barkeeps have plenty of personality. There are no robotic greetings or scripted welcomes here, just genuine hospitality from people who seem happy to be behind the bar. Whiskey dominates the spirits menu, but there's plenty else to choose from. And don't let the casual vibe fool you--you can absolutely get a serious cocktail here, expertly made and perfectly balanced. On the food side, if you've had one too many and need something substantial to soak up the drinks, may I suggest the Polish Platter? It's an absolutely delicious gut bomb loaded with pierogies, stuffed cabbage, Polish sausage, noodles, and potato cakes. The cabbage, sausage, and pierogies were all fantastic. Prosperity Social Club is the kind of place every city wishes it had: authentic, welcoming, and completely devoid of pretense. It's the sort of bar you walk into for one drink and end up staying all night.

Overall it was a great experience. They do have an 18% gratuity on all meals so it was a bit pricey but overall I highly recommend this place.

Double Nickel is a solid brunch spot with great food and fun drink options, but there are a few…read morelogistical things to know before you go. I visited on a Saturday for brunch, and since they don't take reservations and the space isn't very large, there can be a bit of a wait during peak hours. Parking was probably the most frustrating part of the experience. Your main options are valet, street parking or parking in a city lot on a nearby street and walking over. It's doable, but not the most convenient -- especially if the weather isn't great or you're in a hurry. Once inside, though, the experience definitely improved. The atmosphere is cozy and lively without feeling chaotic, and the staff kept things moving despite how busy it was. The food was genuinely good and worth the wait. I ordered the shrimp and grits with chicken sausage, and it was flavorful, hearty, and clearly made fresh. I ordered 24K pancakes "with toppings" as a meal so it was around $20 and I thought it should've been way more fruit and whipped cream than it was for the price but that would be my only critique. One of the highlights was the drink menu -- especially the variety of mimosa options. If you're into brunch cocktails, you'll have plenty to choose from. I tried the lemon drop mimosa, which was refreshing, slightly tart, and a fun twist on the usual orange juice version. Overall, Double Nickel delivers where it matters most: tasty food and creative drinks in a cute brunch setting. Just plan ahead for parking and the possibility of a wait, and you'll likely leave happy (and full).

Had been craving Leavened for a week and finally decided to give in. Only problem is it's near my…read moregym... so I got pastries after a workout session. Whatever. I'm so sad about this, but this was not my favorite experience at Leavened. Customer service was great of course but my selections fell short. I got a mushroom and ricotta croissant, which was fine. I forgot the ricotta was supposed to be there because it mostly tasted liked mushroom, but it was good. I also got the cinnamon monkey bread. This was not good. It was seemingly cooked in the paper that it was served in so the top of the bread pieces were crunchy, the middle was softer and then everything else was completely stuck to the paper. I didn't get to eat about 1/3 of what I paid for and I had to work really hard for the other 1/3. Also, the bread had a very spicy taste. It must have been cinnamon and allspice, but it was entirely too much and very overpowering. It truly tasted like a spicy savory bread which is not what I was expecting or wanted. Monkey bread is usually gooey and sweet. This missed the mark, but that's okay. I'll certainly return for another treat soon. Also the bread was looking fire this day.

I think I've tried this place enough to finally declare it an overall disappointment. Today I tried…read morethe hoisin tofu sandwich. The bread was fresh and crusty, there were two small strips of tofu that had maybe been dribbled on by hoisin sauce at some point, some lettuce and jalapeño slices, and carrots. The sandwich was dry as a bone and a really sad empty version of a banh mi. The chocolate rye cookie I bought as a back up was thankfully still deliciously chocolatey and soft as usual. The guy at the register said the bread pudding still has a "cinnamon roll base, so it has orange in it" despite nothing in the sign denoting this awful addition to bread pudding and the fact that cinnamon rolls are not orange rolls. But I digress and I won't fight with a cashier over their poor decisions lol. Also got a cherry chocolate sourdough on impulse. Pray it is soft inside.
