    Fries
    Amanda M.

    I unexpectedly ended up in Avon lake needing a place to eat lunch with my kids. After a quick search and viewing their kids menu online this place seemed like a great choice. Upon entering I noticed it was loud which was great for brining 3 kids. I think there was only one lady tending to the tables and playing hostess. She did her best to seat us timely and check in on us. I had the blacked grouper with a side salad and it was tasty. They had a great kids menu with lots of options, sides, drink and treat included. I thought the portions were a great size and the kids loved getting a treat at the end. The fries were the star of the meal with the kids really enjoying them similar to fair fries but better consistency.

    So yummy! Had a bit of a wait, but it was a Saturday morning so totally normal. Potatoes and house ranch are to die for! Super good and will be returning!

    I used to patronize Sweet Melissa in Rocky River, so when it closed I was happy to find out they still had Cafe Melissa in Avon Lake. Take-out is great because you can order online and just pick up at their drive-thru. Pricing is reasonable and during Covid they would have coupon codes for certain days. My favorite items are the wings, butternut squash salad, Rhonda's Cali BLT, garlic lemon green beans, and the mac & cheese. Usually things are pretty good, just might encounter avocado missing from my sandwich now and them. Also, be aware that the wings come with celery, but no ranch/bleu cheese. This is weird, but the ranch is good so you'll definitely want to add that.

    Quite possibly the worst fake corned beef ever. In fact, 2 of us thought it tasted more like ham and it looked more like ham than corned beef. There was a container of some nondescript liquid, cabbage, potatoes and carrots, none of which had any flavor. Although the soda bread had potential it was soggy from sitting in juice. All in all a not so Happy St. Patrick's Day meal

    My group and I had a great Sunday brunch at Cafe Melissa! We waited for our table for about 15 minutes before being seated. The waitress was brand new but did a good job despite it being a busy Sunday morning. We ordered coffees and ice teas, which weren't anything special and kind of bland. We were impressed at the prices of the brunch items as well as the portion sizes. I ordered the North of the Border omelette, with Canadian bacon, Swiss cheese, onions, and poblanos. I couldn't taste the poblanos but the Canadian bacon was nice and salty. My brother was a huge fan of his Kayla wrap and even though Cafe Melissa is 45 minutes away, he has every intention of becoming a "regular" here. Overall, this is a nice little local business in a good part of the Cleveland metro.

    The Shrimp Fry Thai and Blackened Fish Tacos were very good and had very fresh ingredients. The service, albeit friendly, was very slow

    Ordered a chopped salad with blackened chicken to go, it was delicious! Will definitely order again soon!

    Yummy brunch, served promptly. Relatively long wait for a table, though. Solid service and a nice beer list, especially if you enjoy IPA.

    Very quiet atmosphere. Food wasn't that impressive. I got the Angus burger. Menu does not state it doesn't come with a bun.

    They just catered a birthday party for 40 people for me this weekend. The food and service were…read moreexcellent! I had a lot of high praise for the food from the guests and everyone was asking me who the caterer was. Hats off to Zach and his team for a job well done for the food, service, and set up. I would highly recommend them.

    Wow! I must have overlooked this place a million times! I thought it was just a catering place but…read moreit turns out it's so much more. My husband brought me lunch from here and it was awesome. I had the Greek chicken wrap and he had the chipotle ranch turkey wrap. I loved the Greek wrap- tons of flavor and a perfect size. The turkey wrap was good but not as delicious as the Greek wrap. Both were good sized for the price and great lunch options. It's clear they use quality ingredients and care about their food! Definitely swing by and grab an easy, healthy lunch here! On top of that- my husband picked up a prepared freezer meal for us to try! Bourbon chicken with red skin potatoes. With two young children, I can't wait to pop this in the oven one night and enjoy an easy meal. So awesome that they offer these and such a variety of options as well. These would be great to grab and share as gifts with people going through health or other issues. I don't know anywhere else in the area that offers this and it's so great to know! Thankfully my husband brought home a menu so I could peruse all the options they have. I can't wait to try some of their other options!
